A ADJUSTMENTS.

This evening at the Clunie Opera
house Madame Modjeska, the distin-
guished dramatic artist, will appear il;
the new drama, Marie Antoinette.
She will be supported by the accom-
plished actor, John e. Kellard, and a
strong company of players. The Rec
ord Union has already cited criticisms
of Modjeska in her present season
from the San Francisco Chronicle
and the San Francisco "Argonaut," the
latter dealing also largely with the
new play. The latter critical journal
further says: "One always feels sure
of Madame Modjeska, but Mr.. Kellard
was more or less of aneunknown, and,
realizing what he had before him in
the way of last farewells, one trembled
for the integrity of the emotion ana
the sentiment. But there was no need
for apprehension. Mr. Kellerd was
himself a player of great feeling and
nobility of style" The Stockton Rec
ord expressing the belief that Mod
jeska is making her final appearance
upon the stage, says: Lovers of ths
great in the histrionic, therefore, have
to content themselves with the fact
that Modjeska is the last of her line
and that there is perhaps no other wo-
man who can take her place as she
fills it, although a class of fine actresses
has grown up on the American stage
with different conceptions and differ
ent methods" All the papers agree

time within the last twenty years we
could have had Alaska for the asking,
providing we would have taken 1t as a
gift, but no man except one insane
enough to buy the earthquakes Of St.
Thomas and the icefields of Greenland
could be found to agree to any other
term for it's acquisition to this coun-
try
ITO this treaty the opponents were in
the minority, and that great, rich ter
rtory from which we have drawn many
and many times over it's purchase price,
and with phenomenal wealth yet unde-
veloped, is ours in spite of their oppo-
sition.
In the last year we have added to
the territory of the United States the
territory of the Hawaiian Islands, one
of the gems of the Pacific Ocean, con-
tanning 6,124 square miles; Porto Rico,
containing $500 square miles; Guam,
containing fifty square miles, and the
Philippine Archipelago, embracing ap-
proximately 143,000 square miles.
This latest acquisition is about one
sixth the size of the original thirteen
bined area of New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and the District of
Columbia. 1t exceeds in area all of the
New England States. 1t is almost as
large as Washington and Oregon COM
bined, ana greater than Ohio Indiana
and Illinois united. Three times larger
than New York, and three and one
half times larger than the State of
Ohio.
THE treaty of peace with Spain,
which gave us the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Guam met with some oppo-
sition in the Senate, but was ratified
by that body by more than a two
thirds vote; while in the House the ap-
preparation of $20,000,000 was made
with little or no opposition. AS in the
case of the Louisiana purchase and
Alaska, the opponents of the treaty
were in the minority, and the star of
hope to an oppressed people was not
extinguished
The future of these new possessions
is in the keeping of Congress, and
Congress is the servant of the people.
That they will be retained under the
benign sovereignty of the United
States / do not permit myself to doubt.
That they will prove a rich and inval-
liable heritage / feel assured. That
Congress will provide for them a gov
ernment which will bring them bless
ings, which will promote their material
interests as we'll as advance their peo-
pie in the path of civilization and in
telligence, / confidently believe. They
will not be governed as yassals or serfs

pressing or exacting, taxation without

ton with distinction of social condi-
tions, freedom of religious worship and
protection in life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness"

that this new play is mounted splendid

pressed that in intense passages Mod

all the melodious sweetness for which
it is famous. The Stockton Mail >"
while sharply criticising the artist,
says she has as keen-cut perceptions
as ever, and that in the great scene
where the Dauphin is roughly torn
from his mothers arms, Modjeska
makes "a grand display of artistic re-
alism'; that she makes intensely real
the passage where Marie is compelled
by the mob to endure degradation;
and that despite her voice failure
many of her scenes ''were magnifi-
Gently rendered" AS to the play, the
agreement of the critics seems to be
that it is a very fine literary work, but
that the author has crowded it with
too much of detail and failed in dra
matte climaxes, but that nevertheless
it is intensely interesting and thrilling.

sion at Yesterdays Session.
HUNTSVILLE (Ala.), Oct 12.-The
race question was the topic Of discus
sion to-day by delegates to the South
ern Industrial Convention. The fact
that two of the most prominent me-
groes in the South and Ex-Governor
McCorkle of West Virginia would
speak upon the subject attracted a
large attendance
President c. w. Dabney of the Uni
versity of Tennessee, discussed the
Improvement of agriculture in the
South, urging higher education of the
farmer as a means to this end.
Booker I. Washington, Principal of
the Industrial College at Tuskagee,
Ala, was given an enthusiastic recep-
tion. In his speech he said:
Almost the whole problem of the ne
gro in the South rests itself upon the
question as to whether the negro make s
himself of such indispensable service to
his neighbor, to the community, that
no one can filled his place better in
the body polite. There is no other
safe course for the negro to pursue.
While the negro is grateful for the op-
portunities which he enjoys in the bus
mess of the South, you should remem-
Der that you are in debt to the black
man for furnishing you with labor that
is almost stranger to strikes, to
lockouts and labor wars.
But if the South is to go forward
and not stand still, if she is to reap
the highest reward from her wonder
ful resources and keep abreast of the
progress of the world she must reach
that point without needless delay,
where she will not be continually ad-
Vertising to the world that she has a
race question to settle.
we must arrive at that period where
the great fundamental questions of
good roads, education of farmers agri-
cultural and mineral development,
manufacturing and industrial and pub
lie school education will be in a larg-
er degree the absorbing topics in our
political campaigns. But that we may
get this question from among US. the
white man has a duty to perform: the
black man has a duty. Capital and
lawlessness will not dwell together.
The white man who learns to disregard
ANN HhCH negro Is concerned Will
soon disregard it when a white man is
concerned"
Ex-Governor McCorkle, in his ad-
dress on THE Race Question" said
the problem would never be removed
by colonization, absorption or diffusion.
he advocated general and Industrial
training for the negro, and said:
The problem will be worked out by
the South. Wise men believe that the
greatest danger is over. In the busf-
ness relations there is no question
ABOUT vast Improvement and a desire
on the part of each race to live and to
let live

Irreverence One of Our Peri1s,

"Mischievous is the irreverent and
scOrnful use of the tongue that often
vulgarizes the very temple of sweet
ness and purity" writes Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills, D. D., In The Ladies'
Home Journal. mo person Of refine
ment and culture can doubt that ir-
reverence is one Of the perils Of our
day. In former times men entered the
cathedral, rich with colored glass, with
marble and pictures and rare tapes
tries, to whitewash the frescoes, smash
statues and use the paintings and
tapestries for dOormats. But 1t has
been reserved for our generation to
enter the temple of reverence to de-
stroy all ideals, to rob the noble names
Of their grandeur and the noblest
places Of their majesty. Today vul.
garity permits sanctity to attach to
few objects or ideas. In 1896, when
Athens revived the Olympian games
and America sent it's representatives,
there journeyed to that ancient land q
vender Of patent medicines, who was
discovered sticking an advertisement
of his porous plaster upon the walls
Of the Parthennn!'
