Under the somewhat ambitious title
Essays in Dramatic Criticism with
Impressions of Some Modern Plays"
L. Dupont Style, assistant professor of
English literature in the University of
California, has written a small book
OF miscellaneous essays upon the stage
and the drama in the abstract and the
future, with eight short articles, re-
printed from the columns of the San
francisco Examiner, upon plays, play
Wrights and actors in particular The
contents seem to be marked by good
sense and to be based upon an intel
llgent acquaintance with European
standards and usages, but the effect is
somewhat lessened by dictatorial
spirit. Too much eX-cathodra speaking
is apt to be felt by the reader as re-
straint. When Prof. Styles says that
The Geisha has neither wit nor poe
try, but abounds in vulgarity" that
The Serenade" is deadly dull"; that
DR. Damrosch's y idea that a ma
tlonal American music may be devel-
oped from negro melody, seems to be
worthy OF being regarded as the joke
OF the century the reader will
quite likely decline to follow the au-
thor in his conclusions, any more than
he Will give his approval to an English
style which can tolerate rendition
and the slang expression give away"
But Prof. Style is a fond admirer of the
french stage and he believes in the
future of the American stage, so that

CAPTAIN W. o. O'NEILL.

In the midst of Arizona's triumphs in connection with the war comes a blow that saddens all Genuine sor- row invades every household iii the territory and reflects itself in the countenance of every citizen. The death of Captain William o. O'Nei1l, late mayor of Prescott, but claimed by every town, village and hamlet of Arizona, is cause for a regret that will take long time to heal. He was an honored and an honorable citizen, progressive ID private capacity as well as in position of public trust With a large heart capable of embracing all of his fellow men it is not to be won dered at that his popularity was ex- tensive and extending, and that the grief resulting from his untimely death is deep and sincere. An enthusi- astic patriot, he died for his country, a brave man facing the foe. One of Arizona's martyred heroes, his name will live and be spoken with reverence as long as Arizona shall live.

THE ROUGH RIDERS.

No troops in this war are gaining more honor or distinction than the Rough Riders" of the southwest. Where danger lies there are they to be found. When particularly strong position is to be assailed, the Rough Riders are in the van of the assault ing column. It is glorious history our brave boys are making. Not one Of them has shirked the responsibilities thrust upon the regiment. They are heroes all, and Arizona and the entire country are proud of them. Death has mgade heavy inroads among t.lem, and many more undoubtedly will give up their lives on the field of battle. Un- stilled in war though they be, their valor is such that their general places as much dependence upon them as he does on the regulars. Every report coming from the front conveys the soul-stirring intelligence that the Rough Riders" were with the regu- lars, where the fighting was fiercest. Every patriotic heart in Arizona thrills as the news is read that tells of the magnificent deeds of our boys. Here is to the Rough Riders living! May they be spared to serve their coun- try TO the end of this righteous strug- gle against barbarism. As for the dead-they will not be forgotten
 "On Fame's eternal camping ground
 Their silent tents are spread;
 And Glory guards with solemn round
 The bivouac of the dead"

WE ADVERTISE.

The Republican believes in ad- vertising. Here is it's latest ad- vertisement in Printers Ink. published in New York, June 29: "The Arizona Republican. A modern newspaper.

CHINESE GO BACKWARD.

The Chinese compass points to the south instead of the north.
 Men wear skirts, the women trous- CTS.
 Men wear their hair long, women wear it short.
 Men carry on o-essmaking, women carry burdens.
 The spoken language is not written and the written language is not spo- ken.
 Books are read backwards. Foot notes are inserted at the top Of the page.
 The Chinese dress in white at funer- als, and in mourning at weddings, while old women always serve as bridesmaids.
 The Chinese launch their vessels sideways, and mount their horses from the off side.
 The Chinese begin their dinner with dessert and end with soup and fish.
 In China the hands of clocks are immovable; it is the dial that revoives.
