Temperance in Europe.

In view Of the controversy now raging

Congressman, Attention.

That Congressman who will in
troduce a resolution calling atten-
ton to the un-American policy Of
Secretary Hay against the Beers in
the present war and unbluShingly
in favor ofthe English, will deserve
the gratitude OF every true Ameri-
can. Some time ago it was stated
that the Beers were unwilling to
allow the American Consul at
Pretoria to act as English agent in
charge OF English interests during
the war. 1t was stated that the
Beers based their refusal on the
fact that the American Government
was against the Boers--in fact, was
owned and controlled by Great
Britain.
The American Consul has in
sisted upon being recalled. The
reasons for this demand are un-
known as yet. Perhaps he had a
little OF true American blood in his
veins and was unwilling to be in
imical to the noble people with
whom he had been associated, in
their fight for liberty and indspend-
ence, after he had received strict
orders to act for the English agent
against the Beers. He has been
recalled and Secretary Hay has
substituted his own SON as consul
against the Beers and for England.
The English parers are greatly
rejoicing over this new proof of the
British h-American secret alliance.
The sentiments OF a great maj or
itY OF the Americans are with the
Beers against the Infamous and un-
Just war of grasping England, a
war which is an exact example and
repetition ot our war for liberty
and independence in I776-for
there is not the least difference be-
tween the war Of the American
Colonies in 1916 and that Of the
Boer republicans now. Our fore.
fathers fought for the same princi.
Piles the Beers are struggling Tor
now. England played the same
role then as she is playing now.
And all those millions Of AmerI-
cans who still love their country
and believe that their ancestors
were right and their struggles in
1876 against he British just, now
pray for the Beers and the defeat
of the English in 1899.
Now we demand that the Amer
lean Congress shall do its duty and
ask President Mckinley and his
Secretary OF State how they can
thus insult American history and
turn their backs upon the glorious
acts Of our heroes, now in their
graves, and disgrace this country
by joining their oltl enemies in the
very same fight which they them
selves fought. For il the English
are right in the pres mt war against
the Beers they we're right in 1876
against our American ancestorsl
II the English were wrong then
they are wrong now. For there is
no difference in the men OF 1916
and the Beers today. Both fought
and bled for their liberty and inde-
pendence against English tyranny.
Such business has TO stop.
America must cease to be the tool
and ally OF English aggression and
conquest. II we have coursing
through our veins one drop Of
blood Inherited from the great
men who gave us liberty and inde-
pendence IN 1916. then we will
force this miserable Tory Admins
tration to give up its English pol

During the late war with Spain Uncle

so amateurs, if they have talent and
are properly trained. can give perform
ances which would compare well with
the work of old professionals The To-
cal cast which will appear in the oper-
eta, Triumph of Love- on Wednes-
day evening. April 5th, hopes to prove
the truth of that assertion. The re-
hearsals give promise of smooth per-
Torrance, and the merry music goes
with a lively swing and dash, which is
very plea ling.
The story of Loves Triumph" is a
pretty one, and in brief. is as follows:
A young nobleman, Robert, duke of
burgundy, has been enticed to lowest
depths of vice by Mephisto and the evil
Spirits. Virginia, the goddess of Nir-
tue. loves this mortal and grieves at his
fall Ascenus, a wicked magician, has
deprived the fairies of their queen, the
beautiful Titania. In their distress
they call upon Regina, queen of the
universe to give them another ruler
Regina bids them select a queen from
her attendant goddesses. The choice
falls upon Virginia, who declines the
offer. and who formulates a plan by
which she hopes to reclaim her beloved
Robert. Regina accepts the advice of
Virginia and commands Amorita, Ho-
nora and Fortuna to use their best eff
forts to reform young Robert, and
promises the crown of the fairies as
reward to the one accomplishing this
task. Honora and Fortuna fail in their
efforts, but when the gentle Amorita
appears, the susceptible duke capitu-
lates at once, and love triumphs.
The dukes valet. Leperello, is also
target for SLY Cupid's arrows. and with
his Evelna, is as happy in the kitchen
as the duke in the parlor.
Mephsto and his followers are a
lively set of demons. They apparently
have things all their own way for a
time, but finally come to grief, and are
terribly punished.
The fairies-nearly 100 of them-make
a pretty feature of the show. and will
be sure to captivate the audience in
their specialties.
In the last act Amorita is crowned
queen of fairyland. a grand TRANSFORMED
ton scene takes place, and in the glare
of colored lights, a series of beautiful
tableauX end this charming operetta.
The entertainment will be given under
the auspices of the Ladies' guild Of St
Marks church. The great success of
all previous affairs of the kind under
taken by the guild gives assurance of
rare treat in store for the big crowd
expected at the Margaret theater on
Wednesday evening.

After more than three months con-

case, is again a free woman. Yesterday
afternoon, on an order from County

formed the woman that she would be

that she would report at the sherff's

and would be permitted to go after

so. The news was a very pleasant sur

in bed, she will not take advantage of
her liberty for a week yet.
1t will be remembered that the Carr
woman was arrested on the night that
Robert Hamilton was murdered, as it
is alleged, by Jim Santi. She was placed
under bonds, which she could not fur
nish, and she was confined. She is
the principal witness in the case, as
she is the only person who was with
Santi when he shot Robert Hamilton
She was in the house with the accused
man at the time of the shooting, and
in her testimony at the preliminary eX-
animation she related the incidents
which occurred in the cabin just pre-
