ZANGWILL'S PLAY.

The Jewish Daily News of New York,
in a five-column article on Zangwill's
play, says: '"The critics of the metro
politan press have, almost without ex-
ception, scored this play. Like knights
Grant, they have rushed to the rescue
of poor, suffering Judaism so dreadful
ly maligned by grOtesque characters
and the exploitation of antiquated SUI
perstitions, all placed on the stage for
laughter and applause. The Jews are
extremely grateful to the kind gentle
men, but we beg to say to them that we
need no defense against this play. AS
Stunning that we need no defense, we
have the right to demand that they
who cry out in righteous wrath must
themselves be righteous. The play
was not discussed on it's merits; Gang
willis lecture on The Drama as Fine
Art gained him the enmity Of the crit
les, and they waited for the opportun-
ity A greater outrage on the public
was never committed than on the day
after the initial performance. Critics
should be just and honest; ability is
not so much required as is common, de-
cent honesty and the critics were gross
ly indecent in their handling of Gang
Wills play. Zangwill has stood the
test. He has painted us as we really
are, and we like the picture.

TTBETAN DEATH DANCES.
Ceremony of the Sacrifcial Body OF
the Dead Year."

Very strange performances are the
death dances of the Tibetan mystery
plays, one of which is performed on
the last three days of the year and is
called 'Ethe ceremony of the sacrifcial
year" The efigy of a man made out
of dough as lifelike as possible and
having inside a distinct heart and all
the entrails filled with a red fluid, is
placed by four cemetery ghouls in sight
of the numerous spectators in the
center of the yard, and at once bands
Of skeleton-g ghosts rush upon the
corpse to attack it. This is the time
to display the necromatic power of La
maism over the evil spirits. Monks
and lamas come forth and go through
a series Of ceremonies, the magic eff
feet Of which keeps the fends away
But more formidable devil, with
great horns and possessed of superior
powers, makes his appearance and
takes the field. Whereupon a saint or
an incarnation of Buddha himself
comes to the rescue, sprays flour on the
enemy, makes mystic signs and utters
lamentations. The skeleton-ghosts
and the big f1end grovel before him
and impiore mercy. He graciously
yields to their supplicat1ons, and al
lows them to partake of sacramento
meal. While they kneel before him
he gives to each one Of them a little
flour to eat and a drink out of a vessel
of holy water.
This concludes the days perform
ance.
The corpse, however, is not destined

A HAT FAD.

One of the fads of the year is the
trimming of hats with pigeons. The en-
tire bird is taken, spread out fiat, the
neck thrust through a rhinestone ring,
and tucked down in most extraord-
mary fashion, while the feet and wings
are left outspread. The claws are
there-indeed, everything is absolutely
perfect. This bird is generally seen on
the hats worn down over the face. 1t
is used a great deal on the hats of
shirred black mousseline de sole, or on
the soft black hats with the shirred
mousseline de sole brim. The gray
and white of the pigion looks very we'll
against the black. 1t is of course a
most useful style of hat, for there is
nothing to be injured by wind or
weather, but it is just trifle startling,
and certainly not of a style becoming
to everybody Harper's Bazaar.

Tho August number of the Kinos
Command, monthly magazine, edited
by DR.. M. G. Keith, and published at
Belleville, Ohio, is number of great
value and rare merit. This number
concludes an article on stomach and
bowel troubles which is of the utmost
Importance to every individual who
can read and think. Another article
which promises to be of great value is
commenced on rheumatism. That
like the other, when completed will
be real boon to every man afflicted
with this painful trouble, and who
has the independence to read, and the
sense and Judgment to comprehend
the subject. The PHYSICIAN, worthy
of the name, will remove the cause
and the patient recovers.
Mr.. LorenS Swenson has the most
perfect fire ladder, mounted on wheels,
that human engunuity has yet been
able to devise. 1t is geared to be rails
ed by means of crank and geared ap-
paratus so adjusted that man can
easily raise it with one hand at the
crank with little effort. Its ascent is
so rapid that it oan be raised in 1S
seconds, and is in sections so arranged
that section after section can be run
up without letting down the one first
raised, and if need be can be tilted to
the right or left. 1t is placed upon
heavy, strong trucks and may be
rapidly driven where needed to save
property or to rescue life in case Of
fire. We hope to see it on exhibition
in Cresco one of these days. We think
it can be successfully operated where
telephone and telegraph wires are
strung.

Samoan Affairs Still Very
Much Unsettled.
MATAAFA NOW LOSING GROUNI
The Powers Have Not Yet Made De
cision Between Mataafa and
MalietOa Tanus.

Apia, Samoa. via San Francisco,
March 1O.-Four weeks have elapsed
since the last mail dispatches left here
for San Francisco concerning the out
break of civil war between the adj
herents of Malietoa Tanus and those Of
Mataafa. During this time Samoa has
been free from any active warfare.
The provisional government under Ma
taafa has not been success. It has
estranged the feelings of many of Its
own supporters by the deportation Of
the Malietoa chiefs and the banishing
from Apia of all male Samoan adults
who were on Malietoa's side. All
Malietoa's adherents who were not de-
ported have been fined, and inoffen-
sive natives. the servants Of whites,
who had been in no way connected
with the fighting. have been arrested.
A sharp remonstrance from British
Consul Maxse, who now has two men,
of-war supporting him. has prevented a
recurrence of this annoyance. The
natives of Tutuila have declared in
favor of Tanus, and the deported chiefs
are having pleasant picnic among
friends.
Malietoa seems to be gaining
strength every day, and several of Ma
taafa's chief adherents have gone over
to his side. There are not much more
than one-hali the people on Mataafa's
side, and it lis doubtful if more than
one-third Of the population are his ac-
tive supporters.

have enjoyed considerable increase in
traffic, on account Of the cheap rates in
effect for homeseekers' excursions to
the territory west OF the Missouri river.

the first excursion train for the prom
Used land footed up about $50 full tick
cts and third as many half-fare tick
cts for children in the families. Near
" SO families, with all their belong
ings, were numbered with the big
crowd.
Many Of the parties were from points
east Of Chicago, but the majority were
flom this city. In addition to the
business from here. all OF the roads
sold hundreds Of coast tickets from
points on their lines in Northern ILL
nois, Iowa and Minnesota. One road,
the Rock Island. had full carload out
of Chicago. bound for San Francisco.
Portland and other waterfront cities.
Il was the first homeseekers' excur-
sion ever run from this territory to
Pacific coast points. Another one will
be run on March 81, on which date to-
days record will probably be beaten,
as the railroads did not have time
sufficiently to advertise the first excur.
sion.
