Down at Williamsburg. according to the
Ottawa Herald. is a preacher named Slack.
who accused one of his deacons of dispos
ing OF booze" unlawfully. After a few re-
marks back and forth, the deacon made the
mistake of saying Don't give me any slack
talk which the preacher thought was
poor joke, so he punched the deacons face,

is anything a Kansas man won't stand, it
is an attempted pun on his name.

UsEMENT
aon and OR At the Academy.

~On and Off," by Alexander Bison,
after one hundred nights successful ex-
perience with the New York dogs"
made It's first appearance last evening at
the Academy of Music and was well nay.
enthusiastically received. Every act de-
manded a curtain call and applause
throughout the entire piece was general.
ION and OFF" Is a three act farce,
sparkling with wit from beginning to
end. 1t is not so much a play of action
as of dialogue, but that dialogue Is un-
usually bright, quick and clever. 1t Is
one of those pieces in which the audience
is kept In breathless laughter, scarcely
daring to give way to merriment Tor
cure for the blues-especially with
such a strong team as E. M. Holland and
Fritz Williams in the lead, as George and
Alfred Godfray.' Mr.. Holland is espec-
tally good in his facial expressions and
>by that alone could doubtless hold his
audience. while Fritz Williams also
good in facial expression, Is exceptionally
quick in action and dialogue, one man
intensifying the virtues (stage v~irtues) Of
Esther Littea as Madeleine Godfray,"
is better suited to the part than, Amelia
CHA in figure at least, and mpar
most fayorably with the original star.
May lambert as "Ldsette," although
with but two lines in the entire piece,
ranks only second to the Holland-Wfll-
iamS team as O46 Vi It's ACdtU1Cot diAd -
quite as captivating with her famous
wink as Cissy Fitzgerald, and much
newer.
Ralph DeImore as "Dr. Patty de Clam
Is worthy Of alarger part. andMaggie Hol-
loway Fisher made an ideal motner-in-
raw. from the popular point of view.
About the plot of "On and orr there
is nothing very new. George Godfray,''
(E' M. HoIand), finding married life a
bore indulges in a little Irritation, pawning
himself off, In order to avoid suspicion,
as another man who later turns up in the
nersoTa of Alfred Godfray," (Fritz Will
/ iams) who makes love to Georges" wife,
and in turn paWns himself off for
ssGeorge." The situations are very funny
and in the final act where all Is righted
there is one of the best staged climaxes
ever witnessed-one in which the audience
is convulsed in laughter. ON and or

the Republican platform is a very tame
soft Of document. We feel quite shghteo
at being let down so easily. The endorse
ment Of president MCKINLEY and Governor

ST. JOHNS INSTITUTE
The Church Bulletin Tells
What it Did and What
it Cost.

This description of st. Johns Institute
is found in St. Johns Church Bulletin
of this week.
.aSt. Johns Institute closed its second
year on the Goth of September. 1t was
begun, 1t will be remembered, two years
g as an experiment in a small way
and with some doubt as to whether II
would find a place in the activities Of the
parish; but at the very beginning it was
received with enthusiasm, and now has
become one of the established institutions
Of the church.
In the year just ended there has been
an increase both In the number Of classes
and in the number Of members, an in
crease made possible by the kindness of
those who offered to teach.
The total membership of the classes
was 1870; the number of individuals was
las, fifty-tWo men n ninety-three wom-
en-, and of this number one-third were
in no way connected with the parish.
We are glad to record this fact, for it is
not intended that the privileges of the
institute shall be confined to the MEM
bers OF the church. Up to the limit OF
our accommodations the public Is gladly
received, the only limit upon the size of
the classes being the space at their dis
posal and the number which the instruc-
tors can teach successfully.

George r. Edgecumbe, submits these fig
ures in his report for the year.-Balance

all the classes have been organized as

column of the time when they will begin.
The class In Spanish will begin on
Friday evening, October IS, in the Iron

somewhat acquainted with the Spanish
language this class offers an exceptional
opportunity for further study.

gin its fall and winter season on Tues
day evening, October 10, Last winter this
class was under the instruction of Prof.

viii be held In the chapel on Tuesday
evening. The Guild of the Holy Cross
Will be the hosts, and Mrs. Niese, the
president, with the heads OF the commit
tees, will receive. All members of the
parish are invited, and 1t is hoped that
q large number will be present. These
s~ociables are designed to bring the clergy
and parishioners together, and 1t is hoped
that they may be most enjoyable feature
OF the parish life"

they have started in to defeat the scheme

nrosress to alarm the Russell men, for
these have persuaded the oh-so-good
Franklin Murphy. chairman of their State
Committee. from whom, on account OF ms
loud. political righteousness. one would
expect things, to come out with q pubic
enlargement Of Mr.. Russell's candidacy.
II is a peculiar endorsement and quite
worthy of the pious Franklin. It is IN

paper, regretting that the paper makes
Mr.. Murphy appear to reflect upon Mr..
Russeils candidacy. Then it goes on to

Russell is a young man of ability ana
energy, and is known throughout the
county as a Republican whose zeal Is
~unfagging. His past service TO the
party entities him to consideration,
and il he is nominated he will be elect
ed beyond question.
The lines Of this are not required to be
very far apart in order to read between
them the dragooned condition Of the Oh
so-gopd Mr.. Murphy. He knows full well
the infamy of young Russell's candidacy
and yet in order that the bosses may be
obeyed he is willing to appear publicly
as an endorser Of the crime. How long
win the people of Essex submit to such
outrages on public decency?
