MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE GEM.

For the White Rose' is making de-.
olded hit at the Gem theatre this week,
and deseryedly SO, for the story is of real
dramatic strength and value and surely
a need of great praisesis due Byron
Douglass company for their conscienti-
Gus work in Interpreting the various
roles. 1t is no easy task, sand certainly
not within the scope of players of medi-
OGRE talents to take up play like this
and with the limited time.available for
preparation to give SO strong and finished
production as this company is now off,
ering.
Miss Rowan's work is exceptionally
good and her contribution is a fine bit
of acting. She dresses the character ex.
quisttely and has never appeared to better
advantage.
Byron Douglas adds another to his
well-earned laurels, and as the central
figure, arouses the sympathy. and appro-
baton of the audience rs true hero
should. The supporting cast is doing ex-
cellent work and no play thus far pro-
duced at the Gem has been better staged
or more appropriately costumed than
this. 1t really abounds in stage pictures
worthy of lasting reproduction.
The play has struck popular chord
and this is evident by the large audiences
and their enthusiastic marks of approval
Every lover of pure comedy should see
"For the White Rose before the final
curtain of the week.
RIVERTON PARK.
The rainy weather interferes with pleas
ure at Riyerton. The entertainments had
to be postponed yesterday, of course,
though some who had planned to take
supper at the restaurant found that COSY
room very comfortable and the service
just as good and the menu just as up-to-
date as they would have found them had
the sun been shining
The park will look more charming than
ever when the rain has cleared away and
it comes out i'll it's freshness again. 1t
is to be expected that when the. skies do
clear we shall see some warmer weather.
Then we may be sure that the grove will
overflow with visitors, and the entertain
uentS anu all Uno leatAfoS OF the PARK
will be even better patronized than ever
before. AT the theatre Mr.. johnson and
Mr.. Cragin are not only gentlemanly
ushers, but they never fail to do every
thing for the comfort of the people, and
all who attend will be sure of good seats,
if they only think to start early enough.
Where the attendance is SO large even
the big amphitheatre may not always be
able to hold all the people.

Changes During the Century.

At his eightieth birthday anniver- sary, ex-President Bartlett of Dart mouth college said: +SThe changes in the transition from my earliest days until now are almost like the passage to another planet; changes in the art of war and the arts of peace, and In the whole comfort, convenience, and healthfulness of living and working. in sanitary precautions and in the relief of the sick and the suffering. For a single example, 1 have seen the first surgeon of the country chip away with his chisel and mallet at tile necrosis of the tibia by the half-hour, with noth- ing to deaden the pain or prevent the suppuraton, till one by one we crept into the open air from very faintness. My memory goes back to the flintlock gun and the smoothbore cannon, to the sickle and the ecythe, to the open fire place, the universal wood fire, and the tinder-box; for I saw the light of dozen years before the first friction match emitted light heard the hum of the spinning wheel, and have seen the shuttle fly back and forth in the hand loom-@

oECADeNCE OF rae NEGRO
Statistics Show the Black Race to De
 Rapidly Approaching Extinction.

The race problem In the South seems destined to te settled acconllng to nat ural laws, unless something is done, and done soon, to save the negro from the results of his own vices and neg lect of elementary hygIentc laws says the Medical RetDrl The testimony of those who have studied this subject Is all but unanimous. and 1t has received additional confirmation through tbe ln- vestigations of Dr. F. II. Johnson of Brunswick. Ga, himself eolored phy- sician.
 The figures which he has gathered from d study of the vital statistics of learly 300 towns in the Southern States show that the death rate of negroes is double that of whites in the same communities, and not only this, but the birth rate is also smaller among the colored than among the white population. Furthermore, the day of the stalwart negro Is passing. if Tot already gone, and the members of the younger generation of the race make a poor showing as regards their size and physical constitution when compared with their grandfathers and grandmothers.
 pr. Johnson attributes this degen- eracy of his race-rightly, we believe to the carelessness, want of fore thought, and dissipation so unfortun- ately characteristic of large portion of the colored population in the South since the civil war. Tn antebellum lays" says pr. Johnson, the negro seemed to be an immune to consump- ton, and many great medical writers md teachers boast of never having seen such among the negroes Enforced temperate living and sanitary precau- eions made the black man a physical giant, but the giants are disappearing, and in their places is coming on a race of smaller stature and decreasing H- tality."
 That this Is the true reason of the colored mans physical deterioration Is further shown by what Surgeon Gen. eral Sternberg has to say in his recent ly issued annual report concerning the health of the colored soldiers Great improvement" he says, ''has taken place in the past few years In the san itary condition of the colored troops The white troops have participated in

An aged Georgia negro Nathan by name, is employed by a gentleman very prominent in State politics. That Nathan also has an eye to political ia vors is shown by the following conyer- sation, which recently took place be- tween him and his employer:

cd Annals.

Tn hooks and corners Of libraries one now and then comes across a small OF nate Early Victorian or Pre-Victor!an volume bearing in gilt letters some such title ns 'fFriehdshp's Offering" "rhe Gem, 'Trhe Forget Me-EoS" OF 'Srae Book of Beauty" AS a rule, one Is not tempted to finger mid its pages." as the Annual itself would say; and yet a glance at it's contents suggests rehec- tons which are not without interest For in ephemerl productions like these one sees most clearly the poVular tastes and Ideals of given time, Even Jane Austen the divine Jane herself. does not throw as much light upon those of her day as the writers in the Lady's Books and Garlands of Beauty who ministered to the passing fancies of the fair reader and shaped their concep- tons of female perfection to sit the fashion of the hour.
 The exquisiteiy finished copperptates show white-robed weeping maidens cllnginS to stalwart lovers who are impYintlng kisses on their gentle brows; devoted wives half swooning in farewells upon their husbands manly breasts; naidens in tears upon the bosqns of their mothers or the knees of their fathers. or sitting beside open vine-clad windows and gazing mourn fully at various objects of melancholy interest which they hold in their hands; ladies with immense ewes raised to the moon or with lids lowered, and heavy curls dropping over one infnitesimm hand, which supports the pensive head Widows, orphans the deserted, the broken-hearted, abound, with abnor- mally large eyes and ahnormally small mouths and with a wealth of curls falling about their ivory necks or veil ing the transports of their grief.-Lip- pincott's-
