DAILY is quoted as saying that, contrary to
the general impression, the great manager
did not regard the state as having a great
moral mission in the world. He believed
that the mission of the theater was solely
to give pleasure, and he strove as far as
was possible to give this pleasure
in a clean and wholesome man
ner But he did not think that the
theater had any ethical function. He had
an idea, however, that one of the great
plays of the future would be on a religious
subject.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Times-Herald Dem) says:
"A strange thing is to happen in Penn
sylvania next November With Repub-
lican plurality of 100000 there the Demo-
Gratis are sure 10 elect Justice of the
Supreme Court. This is not due TO any
unhtness on the part of the Republican
candidate, nor is it to be attributed TO a
revolt against Quay. Yet it would be en-
TREY safe TO wager that at least one of
the two Supreme Court judges 10 be elect
ed next fall viii be a Democrat. This
queer condition of affairs is 20 be brought
about by combination of circumstances.
No Pennsylvania elector is permitted by
law TO vote for more than one candidate
for the same Office Now it happens that
one of the supreme judges is about to re-
tire and that another has recently died.
for which reason two judges will have to
be chosen at the next election"
The New York Evening Post Qnd) says:
1T would be a national misfortune were
Gen. Wood to be taken from Santiago,
either to enter private business, or for
any other cause. His work there has
been little short of miraculous, and its
success is due mainly to his high personal
character and unusual executive ability.
He has kept all politics out of the work
absolutely, and viii continue to do so as
long as he is in charge If he were to re-
tire, there would be tremendous scram-
bic for his place by men who were least
fitted to occupy il, and with presidential
campaign approaching, the chances would
be in favor of the bestowal of it upon
some favorite of boss

but the people of those countries do not

Jacksonville, Tampa, Charleston, Bruins

During a lecture delivered recently at Fan
River by Mr.. H. G. Kittredge, on Recent
Experiments in Cotton Culture" the fact
was brought out that cotton can be grown
in the Philippines and Hawaii, and that
the staple Of these island cottons is very
good. Mr.. Kittredge said that the Ameri-
can producers should take pains TO i'm
prove the fiber Of their cotton, keeping in
mind that an excellent quality is always
in demand, and that the character of the
fiber is Of equal importance with the yield
per acre. Having raised the standard Of
quality, many. and not few, planters
should cultivate the same staple in order
TO get the greatest benefits" Planters
must join with others growing the same
kind of cotton, and so be able TO offer TO
spinners lots of sufficient size TO enable
them to pay a price commensurate with
the excellence of the staple. This" says
the New York Commercial, 'can only be
accomplished through the same mercantile
channel" Mr.. Kittredge thinks that the
standard of fiber can best be raised by Sc
lection and cross breeding. and says that
results of experiments with exotic seeds
have usually been disappointing"

THE TRAysvAGL war CLOUD.

The British and the Beers don't seem to
be getting any nearer together in their
efforts to settle their differences. In the
meantime there are Indications that the
governments of both peoples regard the
situation as threa tening and are making
preparations for war. The Beers are col
lecting arms and ammunition at Pretoria,
their capital and the British are sending
troops to South Africa. 1t is stated in
the English papers that the British gov
eminent has decided to continue to send
reinfocements TO South Africa until the
number of troops there Is 10000, and the
other day a request was made to the
House of Commons for credit of $4,000
co., 1t is true that an official of the Brit
lsh war Office stated that the money was
to be used to complete certain military
works, but If that We're the real purpose
for which the credit was asked the re-
quest wouldn't have been regarded by
both the Parliament and the people as a
startling one. In the estimation of the
British people the request means that war
with the Beers is highly probable. and
that the government is preparing for It.
ment doesn't want war. but at the same
time 1t isn't going to make any conees-
sions to Great Britain which 1t doesn't
think it ought TO make. The President
of the Transvaal is a very determined
man, and there isn't much probability of
his retreating from the position which he
has taken.
war between the British and the Beers
would be costly one for the British. The
Beers cannot put a very big army in the
fed, but they are great fighters. They
know their country thoroughly, and for
that reason they would have a great adj
vantage over the British. The British.
it is true, would have a powerful ally IN
the foreigners in the Transvaal the
most of whom are British sub
! jects and for whom the British
! government is making demands on the
| Transvaal government, but even with
their assistance it wouldn't be an easy
matter TO force the Beers to accept the
! British terms In our dispatches yester-
day it was stated that the President of
the Boer republic had just made an add-
tional concession. He had agreed to grant
| the territory which includes the gold fields
additional representation in the Boer Par
lament. That concession will not satisfy
the British, however. They insist that
the foreigners shall have all the privileges
of citizens. shall, in fact. be citizens. since
they pay by far the greater portion of the
| taxes.
If there should be war the British would
of course, eventually triumph. The Trans
wall would become dependency of Great
Britain. 1t would seem, therefore that
the Beers would hesitate a long time be-
fore engaging in a war with that Power.

law making it illegal to take CLAIMS meas

From that time to this there has been a

seems to have been able to locate it and

WlTCHlN6 WARTS
Revival of Traditions Concerning a
Pesky Subject.

The question OF witching warts is
now occupying the public attention.
No one believes In witchcraft. but every
one has some story to tell Of how he got
rid Of his warts when II boy The news
papers are replete with these stories
one man who had fifty-two warts on
his feet one OF them being. as he ex-
pressed it. large daddy wart got rid
Of them all in the following manner
A woman who lived near by got pine
stick and cut in IL notch Tor each
wart This stick was put over the door
with the Temark that the person who
takes the stick down will get the warts
In short time caller took the stick
down and soon afterward the warts dis
appeared from the boys feet. Mr.
Marvin B CLARK. the originator OF the
Thirteen Club and the sworn enemy Of
all superstitiOns. writes his experience
10 the New York Sun He had "A large
and troublesome wart on his hand
which obslinntcly refused 10 yield To

common, but. this is also painful
remedy Another and a very good
remedy is TO scarify the wart and APP

remedy also is Inferior to witchcraft
The best remedy after all, however,
seems to be the frequent use Of soap
and water. Cleanliness Is both a pre-
yentiye and a cure.

PLANTS THAT EAT MEAT
Tns sundsw one Of the Most Interesting
Insectivora.

Godey's Magazine has this to say
about plants that eat meat "One Oh
the most interesting of the insectlvora
"a the sundew. The five or six small
leaves lay close to the ground, and each
~ them bore crown Of dewdrops,
which sparkled in the sunshine like
rubies and diamonds. A slender scape
sprang from the rosette of leaves and
from one side of it dropped some small
white flowers
"Sundew is the poetic name given 1t
because Of the CLEANS of the gemlike
drops on the leaf surfaces. bat in spite
Of its beauty it is little savage OF
vegetable life. Most plants absorb
nourishment from the soil and atmos-
phere, but the sundew will drink milk
and eat beef and mutton and hardboiled
eggs, il they are fed TO it. 1t does not
keep a cook, however, so it catches It's
own dinner. Each leaf is covered with
q number Of tiny reddish tentacles. and
is little gland. to which adheres drop
Of sticky fluid
"While watching the sundew we saw
q gay little fly in gauzy draw near
lowering over the leaf he lightly pois'
ed above it and prepared TO sip the Wis
cid drops. In moment his feet were
entangled and he was prisoner.
1.-THE second the feet Of the insect
press ever so lightly the glands-the
motor impulse, as it is called-hies
with unimaginable rapidity down
through the tentacles. communicating
with all upon the leaf, and they at once
bend in the direction Of the exciting
object-the fly, in the case.
'As soon as the feet Of the fly touch
ed the tentacles, that wonderful change
in them, which is called aggregation,
began. The purplish protoplasm, which
flows increasingly in their cells, separ-
ated into tiny masses Of purple matter
floating in a clear liquor. The fly had
slighted on the leaf little to the left
Of the center, and the tentacles nearest
him naturally bent first and deposited
under the next, and so on until he was
gradually rolled to the center.
Meanwhile every gland secreted a
digestive fluid which is strongly acid,
and is. so far as can be ascertained.
identical with the digestive fluids OF
animals. This fluid poured over the
fly, drowning him, the tentacles bent
closer, and the leaf followed itself like
o cup and closed when, after several
days. it should expand, all traces Of
the insect will have disappeared, di-
gested and absorbed into the life Of the
plant"
