Under the Dome.

A startingly perfect stage produc-
ton of the awful hurricane which
swept the harbor of Apia March 18th,
1889, is the principle scenic feature
of Under the Dome" which comes to
Auditorium tonight. The history
cf the world does not contain more
thrilling story than that of the survlv-
ors OF the war ships which so CALAMITY
fought wind and wave during that
ever to be remembered storm. Naval
annals do not record a more grandiy
unselflsh action than that of the com
mander of the English man-of-war
Callicpe when seeing that to linger in
the harbor with his giant ship meant
destruction to one and all of the less
powerful men-of-war, he resolved to
take all risks in the coral reef. His
chances were one in a million, but he
d.l reach the open sea and his ship
alone Of those anchored in the harboI
that day escaped. No less heroic were
the men of the Trenton, who seeing
superb struggle of the Engllshmen
sent up a mighty cheer from 45C
throats. Expecting certain death
themselves they rejolced that theiI
friends might yet be saved. Again did
the men of the Trenton show unheard
of courage and patriotism, when, it ap'
pearlng that the final moment of tht
trenton had arrived, the band assem-.
bled on deck and played the Stal
Spangled Banner. In "Under the
Dome" there are three storm scenes
the first showing the storm as seer
from the U. S. Consuls house-the sec
ond view of the shore during The
! fiercest moments of the storm and the
third the wreck of the Trenton.

Columbia Was Right.

The manner in which Columbla's
sailing over the course after hamrock' s
acclden, has been attributed to the
special agreement" made prior to the
contest between Mr.. Iselin and Sir
Thomas Upton that each yacht should
abide by its own accidents, shows that
ideas on sport are hazy. This agree
ment in itself had no force. The rules
covering sport of all kinds, from yacht
ing to mumble-the-peg, make precisely
this provision regarding accidents, and
sport couldn't go on without 1t.
a man falls he loses the race; If
knife-pegger's blade breaks ne loses
the hand. A race once on, every COM
petitor must accepe his fortune. The
Iselln-Llpton agreement was all we'll
enough, but the fact is that competl-
tors should be compelled to accept, as
matter of course, whatever advant-
age may arise from a rivals mishap,
in order that no one in such a situa-
tion shall be weighted with the burden
of declining whether to accept it or
not If a contest Is marred by accl-
dent, another one can be arranged but
the contest so marred should be car
rled to the end without prejudice.
When Sir Richard Sutton, after the
Puritan had disqualified herself by
carrying away the Genesta's bowsprlt
while maneuvering for the start, refus-
ed to sail over the course alone, he
went to the extreme of a sportsman S
privilege in courtesy. That collision
happened though, before the race had
really begun. If it had ocrurred after
the line had been crossed the only
thing that would have given Sir Rich
ar'i the right to withdraw would have
been the utter hopelessness that the
Genesta, without her head sails. could
complete the course within the time
allowed.
If any other rule than this were toll
Grated sport would inevitably degen-
crate into trickery, victors would be
robbed Of laurels rightly won and bad
feeling and undeserved dlscredit would
flow without limit-New York Sun.

Where Births Are Rare.

For over 200 years no baby has
been born on the island of Balta, one
of the far-distant Shetland group. But
this long record has now been broken,
for the other day, during the recent
herring fishing season, a young lady
ha.ling from Buckle (Banffshire) dis
trict gave birth to fine healthy boy
in one of the wooden huts belonging to
a curing station. The baby has been
christened Balta Geddes Polsono, and
the Laird of the island has presented
the mother with a cneck for G25. The
fortunate little stranger has also been
made the recipient of several hundred
SILVER coins CT the realm from visitors,
who came from all parts to see the
young record breaker.-London Daily

DIVORCE DAY.
George little Ordered Under Arrest
By Judge Jones on the Charge
of Perjury,

Of Perjury.
Monday was the day set by Judge
Jones for the trial of divorce cases
pending in Common Pleas Court. A
number of cases received attention and
three divorces were granted Judge
Jones in his decisions. has given out
t.e impression that he is not at all in
clined to favor persons of bad morals
and his prompt action in ordering the
arrest of a perjurer will cause witt
nesses to be more careful in their
statements when under oath.
In the case of Francis E. Foster
against William Silas Foster, decree
was granted on the grounds of cruelty
and adultery. The costs were taxed to
the plaintiff.
Divorce was granted in the case of
Allen d. Morris against Margaret M.
Morris on the grounds of adultery.
Ellen Poulton was granted a divorce
from her husband, George Poulton,
for drunkenness ard failure TO sup
port.
The most interesting ciae tried Mon
day was that of Maria Pratt against
Llmer Pratt. In this case George Tit
tie, one of the witnesses, testified to
the good character of the woman and
also to the fact had he had never
known any harm of her. Mayor
Richardson, who was present, inform
ed Prosecuting Attorney Brennan that
he could show by his official record
that Title did not testify correctly in
regard to his knowledge of the wom-
statement. 1t appeared that little
had formerly run a house of i'll fame
Of which the Pra., woman was an in
mate and that they both plead guilty
at the same time in Mayors court, the
Pratt woman charged with being a
common prostitute. When this state of
facts was brought to the knowledge
of the Court, the decree was refused
and Deputy Sheriff Steen was ordered
to lock up the witness, George Title,
on the charge of perjury. The Court
instructed the Prosecuting Attorney to
make an investigation of the facts
warranted,to commence the prosecution
Of Title or any other witnesses who
testified falsely. 1t is probable that
some people will find themselves in
serious trouble before this investlga-
tion closes, and witnesses will learn to
fully understand their position when
under oath and people of bad morals
wnl have a deeper respect for the sta
tutes.
In the case of Flosse Saterswaite
against Edward A. Saterswaite four
witnesses were examined and the case
continued until Tuesday.
lie decree was refused in the case
of Lille B. Seyler against Jacob Sey-
Ter. The defendant was ordered to
pay the costs and the plaintiff was or
dered to allow defendant to visit child
at all reasonable times.
The case of William B. Townsend
against Mary J. Townsend, continued
from last term, was also brought to
trial. Plaintiff alleges cruelty as cause
of action. The divorce was refused at
cost of plaintiff.

Dismal Swamp Canal Open.

The Dismal Swamp Canal was open
ed to navigation last week. 1t extends
from Deep Creek, near Norfolk, Va,
to Pasquotank River, North Carolina,
being % miles long, 10 feet deep and so
fet in width. This waterway, which
was originally surveyed by George
Washington, and has just been COM
pleted at a cost of nearly 100000 is
designed to allow small vessels OF all
kinds to go South by means of an in
lana route, thus avoiding the Diamond
Shoals and the dangers OF rounding
Hatteras, There are only two locks,
one at either end. The torpedo boat
Talbot, which was recently fitted for
the use Of oil fuel. was one of the first
vessels to pass through the CANAL
Com. Trio.

Schurtz, Free Silver and Ex-
sNascso.,
panSion.

The Cincinnati Volksblatt, the ablest
and most prominent German newspap-
er OF the state, discusses the recent
speech of Carl Schurz on expansion in
the following convincing manner
Carl Schurz is a man inspired by
high ideals. He has been a standard
bearer in many movements calculated
to elevate mankind to higher degree
or civilization, and no one has dealt
more telling blows to the free coinage
of silver proposition and the imitation
OF the national currency than he with
his eloquence and energy. The war he
waged against proposed debauchery Of
currency in this state alone will ever
remain a pleasant remembrance, and
to him, perhaps more than to any 9TH
er man, are due thanks that he kept
Ohio on the right side in the lineup
or late he has lifted his voice against
the policy Of expansion and one may
subscribe to everything he has said on
lie subject word for word. But be-
tween him as an orator pleading for
everything which is honorable and the
practical world extends a wide gulf
that cannot be easily bridged. For
Carl schurz Lives in a world of his own
Imagination which is not the world in
which men thrive whose views are fix
ed. not on ultimate things, but proxi
mate. And these practical men are in
clIned to think that Carl Schurz
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-10-24

could render his country q better SER
vice by coming to Ohio 10 antagonlze
and fight the free silver swindle in
stead of playing into the hands of the
advocates of free coinage by trying to
make an issue of the annexation 10 the
United States of the Philippine islands
For it is a fact that the proposed free
coinage of silver, for which the DEM
ocrats stand, threatens far more than
the annexation of the Philippines
Carl Schurz seems to think that be-
cause he has closed with imitation of
the currency everyone else has follow
ed suit. This is a self-evident error.
Truth does not rlpen so early with ev-
eryone as 1t does with Carl
Schurz. Just twenty-siX years ago he
came to Ohio to fight Bill Aliens
greenback swlndle, Allen at the time
being the Democratic candidate for
governor and were he not deceived by
his idealisms today, he would not ov-
erlook the fact that Ohio, twenty-slx
years later, is still the arena of the
combat between good and bad money
and that warfare against bad money
must continue. Since the coming cleo
tions cannot dispose definitely the
question of annexation it should be
clear to anyone that the wiser and
more practical politics should seek to
destroy the financial heresies of the
Democratic party And even if at the
coming elections the annexation prob
lem could be disposed of the politics
that go hand in hand with such dispo-
sition would still be subject to many
changes. And what Is the keystone of
! the annexation question? That we
withdraw our soldiers from the Philip
pines and let the islands go to the
dogs? That would be impossible in
any contingency since such action
would not be taken by either party.
The discussion hinges on whether or
not the Philippines shall become a col
ony of the United States in a German
or French sense,o or shall become Am
erican ground, pure and simple, with
all the rights and perogatlves that
the constitution bestows here. The
discussion of the problem thus far has
brought no solution and the likelihood
is tnat the American system will pre-
vail in the archipelago. And should it
even not prevail at the outset any err
rors that are committed in trying to
establish it there can be rectifed. The
constitution of the United States will
remain in force, and as long as it does
the possibility of extending its appli-
cation to the Philippines will never be
less than it is today, if the people de-
sire to have it extended But the dam
age already done by the threatened
danger of free silver and currency in
! flation cannot be made good for the
nonce, and never can be made good un-
til the agitation of free silver has lost
its sting in repeated and repeated
Democratic defeats. The practical un-
derstanding, therefore, demands that
the eye be kept on the financial falla-
cies Of the Democratic party, and when
they have been sidetracked, that we
take up other issues.
