National - "Because She Loved Me

Because She Loved Him So" the
comedy presented last night at the
National is one of those which are easily
spoiled by overacting; and the company
which offered il did not at any time make
this mistake. The people were, without
exception, well adapted to their several
parts and the audience was kept in a state
of constant and evident merriment from
the plays first line to the last.
J. f. Dobson, the John Weatherby. and
Kate Meek, the Mrs. Weatherby of course,
received the largest share of attention. AS
the old sweetharts of the first portion of
the second act, they were fascinating to
watch, their work blending fun and roetry
with a skill which is not often noted An
other particularly good bit of character
impersonation was done by Maggie Field
ing, as the old Scotch nurse. This role
verges on low comedy in places, but it was
so managed that there was never a rote
which Jared on the daintiness of the
more serious episodes
One of the difficult parts in the play is
that of Oliver West, the misunderstood
husband, and this was well acted by Fran
els Carlyle, as was also the Gertrude West
of Annie Irish. There is danger of falling
into melodrama in the character of Donna
Gonzales, but Leonora Braham avoided the
trouble. In fact, the piece is full of traps
for the unwary, and the company deserves
great credit for refraning from doing all
the things which it might so easily have
done. All of the minor roles were credit
ably assumed. Because She Loved Him

JUDICIAL ETIQUETTE.
Judge Thomas Authority in
Going Case Questioned.

Quite number of attorneys of
this city have been interviewed
relative to the GoiDgs case where
in the Choctaw sheriff ignored the
habeas corpus writ issued by
Judge Thomas of this territory.
II this case comes up on contempt
it promises to be very interesting,
for the settlement of il will deter
mine Judge Thomas judicial rank
as member of the territory court.
In the first place the law Great
ing Judge Thomas provides that
he shall hold court at such time
and place as designated by the
court of appeals. Leaving aside
his questionable right OF issuing
the habeas corpus, who was going
to Try the case which was set for
July %? Judge Townsend is in
Colorado's cooling climate, Judge
Springer is in Michigan, while
Judge Clayton is at home studying
his cases. Can Judge Thomas
come to this city in absence of
specific directions and try this case
while Judge Clayton who has had,
If anyone, jurisdiction of the case,
sits in chambers and listens to the
ruling of the judge who is not act
ing under specific or any other d.
rections from the appellate or any
other court. Judge Thomas could
not order either of the other judges
to hold court because he has no
power to direct even his own ac-
tions when it comes to holding
court, and is entirely subordinate
to the other three judges, acts un-
der their directions and cannot
even legally hold court without
their permission.
As to the issuance of the writ,
attorneys generally consider the
action as uncourteous and in bad
taste. Judge Clayton was holding
court in this city at the time; he is
perfectly familiar with the case
from beginning to end; had grant
ed stay Of execution once that he
might thoroughly examine into
the case, and after having done so
positively refused to issue q writ.
There evidently has been an in
fraction of the rules of judicial ct
iquette, and an attempted usurps-
tion of authority considered from
a disinterested standpoint, but a
charitable conclusion is that it
was done through a misunder-
standing of the case, merely
through a misconception of the
obligations OF the office. South

Resourceful Electrical Engineers.
1t has been stated that one Of
the leading qualities exhibited by
electrical engineers during the
war was readiness Of resource.
This is well ILLUSTRATED in story
told BY one Of the officers of the
corps. There was a great deal Of
uneasiness about that time
around Boston, as no one knew
but that the Spanish fleet was
selling straight for the city and
shells might be flying within
iwenty-four hours. On Saturday
morning orders came down to a
squad of engineers to set up be
fore night a complete isolated
plan for searchlight work on one
of the Notifications in the harbor.
the men in charge of getting the
boiler down the bay could get no
suitable light anywhere. so they
simply plugged the holes in the
boiler, rolled it off the iper, hitch
ed it to tug and towed it down
the harbor, kept afiOat by the air
inside of it. The men no had TO
take down the engine and dyna-
mo managed to get their ma
chimes landed, but there they
waited, with apparently no pros
pect of going further. On the
whole island there was only one
truck strong enough TO carry the
machines from the dock to the
fort, and that was in charge of an
Irishman in the employ of the
city of Boston, who doggedly-
maintained that he took no or
ders except from the city officials,
and the authority of the United
States governmet was nothing to
him. 1t was already late in the
afternoon, and there was no pos
sibility of reaching the Office of
the authorities in time to secure
the permit. The men simply took
the driver to their barracks. got.

Mr.. Jarvie put the necessary margin

started business in 1898 this margin was
about 80. 1t had DROPPED as low as %,

they had all been made for stock job

had been nothing in them.
Witness, in speaking of the coffee BUSH

competition in the sugar business, witness
said that the fight could only stop when
the one big concern decided to be content
with less than 100 per cent of all the bust
ness in the country.
When asked how long the rival COM
pany could keep on selling sugar at a loss.
Mr.. Jarvie replied cheerfulIy that he
thought a concern supplying 80 per cent
of the sugar sold in the country would
lose more under those conditions than the
firm supplying the other ten per cent and
that he had the 10 per cent end of the
bargain now.
