the witty playwright and director of
the Leasing theater Herr Blumenthal,

was nearly ready to throw the manu-
script aside, his wife, who did not share
his view, said to him: eff l had only

The setting out of the dinner of
Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious
function. First came gentleman with
a rod, followed by gentleman carryi {;
a tablecloth, which, after they had
knelt reverently three times, was spread
upon the table. Then came two others,
one with a rod, the other with q salt
cellar, a plate and bread. They knelt
three times, placed the things on the
table, knelt again and retired. Next
came lady in waiting, followed by a
second. The first lady, dressed in white,
after kneeling three times. approached
the table and solemnly rubbed the
plates with the salt.
Then entered "a yeomen of the guard,
clad in scarlet, and each carrying dish
of gold. These dishes were placed upon
the table while the lady faster gave to
each of the guards taste from the dish
he had brought in, for fear of possible
poison. These guards were selected from
the tallest and stoutest men in all Eng.
land. At the close of this ceremony 8
number of unmarried ladies appeared
and with great solemnity lifted the
various dishes and carried them to the
queen in her private apartments. The
queen dined and supped alone, with few
attendants, and it was seldom that any
one was admitted at this time and ther
only at the intercession of some one il
power.

Wigmakers union Of Vienna sees to il
that only competent persons are adj

course, have thorough knowledge OF
the practical side of the subject, and
they are questioned as to keeping razors,
brushes, etc, clean, and the general
idea of antiseptics must be well under
stood by them. When the BARRIERS APP
pear before the committee, they have
their razors dulled on pine plank, and
they must then sharpen them and pro

These subjects are recruited from the
poor and from among those who are
fond of get ing something for nothing.
If the apprentice performs his work tc
the satisfaction of the judges, a certifi

as an apprentice for two years before hi
can open a shop of his own. Provision
is also made for women BARRIERS who de-

to be enrolled as apprentices for three

All, doubt as to wheatherTheodore

is set at rest by the remark of Sen

foolish because of his enthusiastic

also that the Governor has the hap

This surely ought to settle it, and
yet the Senator might have put it
differently.
Perhaps the determination of the
government to connect the Aleutian
Islands, of which there are hundreds

graphy, is an attempt to increase the

THE SOUTH AFRICAN TANGLE

The Memphis Scimitar refers
to the South African controversy
as 'the British-Boer puzzle, and
it is such to outsiders because OF
the wide difference between as
sumed statements of fact made
on both sides. 1t renders the
situation difficult of comprehen
sion. One lacks the falcrum from
which the lever of his mind is to
operate.
This is perhaps best illustrated
in the disputed question of citi-
zenship. 1t has been stated most
positively that the Beers did not
invite the Uitlanders to enter
their country, c did the latter
ever possess any political rights
beyond those they now have.
Now come conservative and
usually we'll informed authorities
and say that the Uitlanders went
into the Trannsvaal by express
request of the Boer government.
In 1868 when President Kruger
visited London he was asked by
mining concerns whether i'm
migrants would be welcome. 1t
was replied through M. Esselep,
his secretary, that ''the govern
ment desires to see the mineral
resources of the Transvaal de-
veloped to their fullest extent
and will give every assistance
incumbent on them to that end. F."
Originally every white man
settled in the country could
vote. Later any man not born
in South Africa could vote
on entering the Transvaal if
he paid 1925 for the priv
ilege. Then it was enacted that
any one acquiring real estate
could vote at once, but landless
persons could vote after one
years residence. That was the
law when the Ultlanders first be-
gan to flock in largely. In 1882
five years of residence and 1925
were made the prerequisites and
the law SO continued until 1890.
This is what the British virtually
demand nova return to the law
of 1882. In 1890 the obstacles to
voting were increased and again
in 1894, so that the immigrant
practically could not acquire the
right Of voting.
Another confusing point in the
controversy is the claim by the
Transvaal that England has re
Gently changed its demands, that
it has practically withdrawn a
proposal for-a-conference and
substituted in It's stead ~''certain
unreasonable exactions." The
British on the other hand say
they stand where they have al
ways stood.
1t seems difficult to ascertain
just what all the facts are. Per-
haps If the parties to the contro>
versy themselves possessed a
clearer idea and understood each
other better war could be averted.
AS it is bloodshed seems newt
able.
