the two bundles of chips, the dealer stops,

game is kept up until the required sixty

an entire week, playing night and day
This is readily explained, for there is a
rule that should one side win several sticks
the other cannot score until all are won

Dramatic Criticism in France.

tfIoin lilc isphuon IOst.t
1t is interesting to note that even in
France dramatic criticism is not held in
great esteem by artists. In this country
We have long been familiar with the cry
of the artist against his critic, but it is
natural to assume that in France the
critics are without the faults that seem
to cling to them elsewhere. Partisan
periodical devoted to the drama has ad-
dressed to leading authors and critics a
series OF questions asking whether dra-
matte criticism should be abolished or re-
served till week after the first perform
ance. The point has been eagerly can
yassed with all the verve and enthusiasm
employed by our brilliant neighbors to be-
wilder their critics and to amuse their
friends. The advocates of the suppression
OF criticism are many, but that there
should be no suspicion of wounded vanity
wreaking vengeance on its prosecutors the
contention is supported on the plea that
the French public, which is highly intelli-
gent, is quite able TO supply its own crit
ieism, and that the more it is encouraged
to this end the better will that criticism
become. OF course this is ingenious, and
il ought to appeal to the French, who have
never been lacking in self-appreciation.
Every healthy personality, says one of the
Philistines who believes in the people has
within 1t sufficient intelligence to Judge
truly of life and OF art. Surely there is a
sufficient remnant in the Latin Quarter if
not in Israel. to demolish this Son of Gath.
NJ. Jules Lemaitre on the other hand is
disposed to admit that the critic would not
object TO having n week to consider his
diatribe, eulogy, or dispassionate analysis
of the play. AS to the suppression of crit
icism altogether. he pertinently asks:
How is it to be Accomplishment" To those
of us who are not French the whole discus
sion will seem unreal and unnecessary 1t
does not take week for a competent critic
to determine whether a play be good or
bad. And as most plays are but indiffer-
ent good or bad the critics task is gem
orally easy-not TO say monotonous. When
frst-rate play comes before his notice
he is doubtless enraptured, and apt to
burst forth into unusual eulogy. Yet nei-
ther the author nor the public objects to
that. and envious brother artists need not
be taken into account.--New York Sun.

The Presidential Veto and silver.

As to this proposition about a renTncia-
ton of the presidential veto on the ques-
ton of silver II is curious to note that
Chauncey F. Black, who originally proposed
it through the columns of The Star In 1896.
would probably be the last man now to ac-
cept IT. while Senator Morgan. who prob
ably rejected it, as did many other demo-
Gratis when il was first made, now revives
and champions it
Gov. Black, as a Pennsylvania is re-
garied as an eastern man from the western
and southern points of view. He is DEM
ocrat of the old school and as man and
partisan is without fear or reproach. In
1896 he saw the danger signals and tried
TO point out a middle course for his party.
Mr.. Cleveland had held the party up on
the silver question until the impatience
manifested by the silver men threatened
open hOstilities. Gov. Black made his prop
osition IN the interest of a compromise. He
already feared the split which afterward
took place.
The proposition was rejected, and the sill
yer men. in radical and revengefui mood
at the thought Of Mr.. Clevelands course,
met at Chicago in numbers sufficient to
control the national convention and wrote
the platform upon which Mr.. Bryan was
nominated. Gov. Black at once accepted
the conventions work in good faith. and
supported the ticket with loyalty. And he
still stands up stoutly for Mr.. Bryan and
the Chicago platform
In letter written and published Just
prior to the meeting of the Pennsylvania
democrats in state convention last month
Gov. Black said:
Mr.. Bryan will be renominated; the
honest. unpurchasable democratic people OF
the Union will control the next national
convention as they did the last, despite
machine bosses, corporations and trusts

Lock Jaw and the Toy Pistol.

From the New York Herald.
The number of deaths from lockjaw due
to wounds from the toy pistol proves the
existence of an added danger to the small
boy in his ofttimes ill-advsed and persist
ent attempts to celebrate his opportunities
The instances in point also demonstrate that
trivial injuries thus inflicted are apt to end
diSastrouSly.
Lacerations of the hand are well known
to be particularly dangerous under the cir
cumstances, involving as they do the dense
tissues of the palm, which are peculiarly
unfavorabe for the elimination or escape of
tetanus bacillus which latter is VIGOROUSLY
associated with rusty iron and dirt. In
none of the cases noted was there any at
tempt to cleanse and dress the wounds
properly, and it is not surprising that Sc
rious mischief resulted.
In these days of aseptic surgery it is
never safe to trust to the chances of a foul
sore healing promptly and safely. Espe-
cialiy is this SO with those of the hand, in
which the contaminated discharges show
such marked disposition to burrow under
firm structures and afford favorable prop
agating medium for the deadly poison of
tetauus. In most, If not ALL of the acct
dents which had such a melancholy ending
death was due doubtless to neglect of the
precautions named. The lesson of such ex-
periences IS obvious enough.

it may be aided by the Mckinley news

not be tolerated by the plain people. whose
interests are to be thus betrayed, and 1t
will fail even more completely than did the
similar combination at Chicago. Nor can

Gratis. who betrayed, kicked, slandered and
defeated us in 1885,
Notwithstanding this advice, the Penn

Chicago platform with all the other plat
forms of the party in their deliverance
But Gov. Black, as the phrase is around
Harrisburg, stood pat. And he stands pat

that is the Bryan position in every state of

A Good Soldier.

a young Washingtonian yesterday gave
a guarantee of patriotic interest in the
governments efforts to recruit the volun-
teer army for the Philippine campaign
which might well be initiated by others in
various parts of the country. Having
served With an officers commission In the
District regiment during the Cuban cam
paign with credit he was eligible to ap-
pointment an officer under the Presi-
dents specified conditions governing ap-
pointments for this army. His name was
submitted to the War Department among
those considered by National Guard au-
thorities worthy of selection. The
limited choice fell upon two others. This
young officer felt that although he had
failed to secure a commission his interest
in the campaign warranted his serving in
any capacity and he forthwith enlisted and
is now at Camp Meade as a private. This
display of the true soldierly quality is
good type of the American military In
sunct. There is need in the ranks for just
such men. capable enough to be officers,
willing and brave enough to endure the
hardships and the dangers of the common
soldiers lot An army composed of such
men would have the foundation for any
kind of work, and the District is proud
to contribute in this manner to the new
forces.
