Sol smith Russell at the National

Sol Smith Russell at the National.
There are few actors at present upon
the American stage who have gained a
firmer hold upon popular affection than
Sol Smith RUSSELL whose career is at
once an example and inspiration to the
Younger members Of the profession to
desl honestly with the people without
indulging in pyrotechnical displays.
For twenty years Mr.. Russell has been
drawing smiles and tears at will from
his auditors, and, like good wine, he
only improves with age
Mr.. Russell is to be praised for the
elf-uphfung Of his fortunes, and IS 10
be Congratulated Tor drawing to the
theatre many who are IN a general way
opposed to the institution. Constant
endeavor to obtain the right vehicle
for his talents is the keynote 70 his
success.
When he goes through bright, clean
and wholesome play like "A Bachelors
Romance" he not only delights multi
tudes. but he breaches mild though
efectual sermon, and one atpleasautlv
fingers in the memory Mr. Russell
possesses the key to that which greatly
though surely sways we'll ordered be-
ings. "a Bachelors Romance" will be
presented on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, and at the
Wednesday matinee. On T ursday and
Friday evenings Mr.. Russell VIII appear
as Petruchio in a sumptuous production
of The Tanning Of the Shrew."
There are three complete plays in the
bill, and each is widely different from
the other, comprising pathos, farce and
comedy of the purest type. These
plays are "Mr Valentines Christmas"
The Tanning OF the Shrew," and "The
SpitfiIe." Mr.. Russell has Deen work.
ing on this bill for long time and has
made very elaborate preparations in the
way Of scenery and costumes for it. He,
of course, will be the center figure in
each OF the plays.
Those who have remarked the won
deriul advance Of Sol Smith Russell in
character work within recent years have
been waiting with considerable interest
for another opportunity to see him as
Bob Acres in Sheridan's "The Rivals"
He will produce this comedy at the
matinee on Saturday ana also for the
closing performance Saturday night.
Mrs. Fanny Addison Pitt, whose Mrs.
Malaprop created almost as much favor
able comment as Mr.. Russel's Bob
Acres. when the play was revived here
two years ago, will be seen again in the
part. The other members Of the cast
are Nanette Comstock as Lucy, Margaret
Robinson as Lydia, William Seymour
as Sir Lucius, William Sampson as
David, Grin Johnson as Capt. Absolute,
Alfred Hudson as Sir Anthony, Sidney
Booth as Falkland, and:Thurlow Bergen
as Fag
1t is quite sale to say that no theatrical
attraction Of the season is anticipated
with livelier degree Of interest than
the engagement OF Sol Smith Russell.

How NOT To Do 1t.

The Indiana's leaky boilers, says
the Philadekphta Ledgey, are EN-
blematic Of our makeshitt policy

we'll armed, would have been help.
less in battle and endangered in a
storm because she had no steam
power. Similarly, we build sh ps

them. We have feet and no
docks. We build big guns and
provide no ammunition for them.
We have a plan Of coast defense.
and the House committee cuts
down by two-thirds the appropria-
ton necessary to carry on the
work. 1t is a policy that is ex
travagant if peace is to continue
and suicidal # we are to have war.

A Costly Citizen.

The excise census just taken in
the village Of Piermont, Rockland
County, N. Y, to determine the
amount oftax to be paid by liquor
dealers, showed that the village
has a population OF ,aoI.
That twelve hundred and first
inhabitant is a costly one for the
liquor dealers, since the Raines law
jumps the tax on villages having
over 1900 inhabitants from Sroo
to S2oo The liquor dealers have
scanned very carefully the returns
hled by the enumerator, John
Auryansen, and profess to have
found several cases in which,
through excess Of zeal. he enumer-
ated as residents those who were
only stopping temporarily in the
village, and when the enumeration
comes before the Trustees for final
revision they will try to have it
scaled down below the I 400 mark.

Grain Gamblers and the People

Grain Gamblers and the People.
Letter has a mortgage on most
OF the wheat in the country, and
his friends, including young John
A. Logan, own most Of the rest.
They have fixed upon sI.a5 .
bushel as the price at which they
will sell, and il their bank credits
hold out they can enforce their
will.
This will benefit the wheat
grower very little, for he has
mainly marketed his wheat long
ago. 1t will mean higher priced
bread for all the rest OF the people,
a tribute that they are forced to
pay to this young speculator and
his associates and for which they
get nothing whatever in return.
II will cost Armour a very pretty
lump Of money, but that means
only the transfer Of wealth from
one grain gambler to another,
matter in which the public has no
Mnterest.
The one publicly interesting fact
us that by reason OF these two grain
gamblers Stacking up" against
each other the poor people of the
whole land must pay more for their
bread. Whoever wins in the game,
the people pay the losses,

months from July I to Feb. I the

British and German Methods OF
Trade


An arsenal in Japan, says the
Boardof Trade ToHgNaI. required
crane with the lifting machinery OF
a certain description not now con-
sidered as the most serviceable.
Application was made to an Eng
lish maker who refused to supply
the out-Of- date article. A German
house accepted the order, and thus
obtained an opening which il will
probably turn to good advantage.
Again, the sewing machines of a
well known English maker were in
possession OF the field, and might
have remained there had the max.
ers thought il worth their while to
nuT: 2r the fancy Of their Japanese
customers. For some reason of
their own the Japanese wished to
have a machine with the arm some
what higher than it is usually
made. The English makers
thought that the change would be
a disadvantage in working the
machine, or at any rate that It was
unnecessary. Some German maxi
ers did not mind that; they saw
that in consulting the Japanese
preference there would be an ad-
vantage to themselves, and now
the German made sewing machine
is seen everywhere.

B La Ligue Anti-Alcolique
has under consideration the prop
osition to open temperance cafes
in Paris. 1t seems TO be pretty
generally agreed that such institu-
tions would be doomed to failure;
and not because the Partisan pop
ulation is incorrigibly drunken, for
it is not so much so as London's,
but because drinking is not asso-
ciated in the Frenchman's mind
with drunkenness, and he cannot
a Nunderstand why anyone should
&esire that he should refrain from
Taking his glass OF red or white
wine. AS a matter OF fact, good
wine has been the salvation Of the
Frenchman from a temperance
point Of view. II is the replace
ment of wine by spirits that is do
ing the mischief in France 1t
may be taken as a general truth
that wine-drinking countries are
temperate and sPirit-drinking
countries are not. In France,
Ap&taly, Spain and the Mediterranean
countries, drunkenness. until quite
recently, was hardly known, La
Ligue is wise enough to recognize
this fact, and is waging its war not
so much against beer and wine as
against absinthe and spirits.

The Lodge Bill.

Democratic Congressman must
remember that the Republicans
have such large majority in the
House that they do not need any
Democratic votes to pass the
Lodge bill.
1t is, therefore, the greatest folly
for any Democratic members to
vote with tissr1 and thus destroy a
great deal OF Democratic ammuai-
ton which could be used to cap
ture the next House. For It can
not be denied that the Lodge bill
is a Republican Know Nothing
measure and emanates from Re
publican sources. Let every
