Let Him Down Light.

Most of the Chicago ministers in
their Sunday sermons paid some
reference to the death of Robert
Infersoll. We publish a few snap
shots from thejeminent divines on
the dead agnostic:
DR.. Charles A. Blanchard, presi-
dent of Wheaton College, said in
part:
God is the Judge of all, and what
mercy he may show to Mr., lngersoll
we do not need to inquire.
Rev. ]. H, h. Smith, Union
Christian church, said;
At last the eloquent tongue is
still and the thinkers brain is pill
lowed in a silent mystery, while his
soul of unbelief will 60 marching
on to the judgment.
Rev. H. H, Matzinger, Presbyte-
rian church said:
Forbid it that any of us should
assume the responsibility of judg-
ing bis life, He is facing one more
capable of doing him justice than
any man.
Rev. J. NJ. Gray, of the Moody
church, said:
The judgment of wicked men
comes after death.
Rev. H, H. Taylor, Church of the
Ascension said:
l think that by this time Mr.. In
gersoll has found that his mistakes
were greater than "the Mistakes of
Moses.

Same Here, Pete,

The mayor of Detroit, Michigan,
in wiring ex. secretary Alger that
demonstration of JOY awaited him
and Mrs Alger on their return,
closed the message thusly: ''All
creeds in politics and religions will
unite in acclaiming their JOY at
your return" And the whole ma
tion will no doubt say amen to
Mayor Mayberry's closing sentence
The reporter on the Gate City
News is not a consumer of wood,
we judge from the way he starts off
on one of his locals-thusly: AS
plentiful and cheap as wood is in
this city, etc" Now, we believe
we pay as much for wood here as is
charged in any place on the foot
stool. Last winter for time, we
had to pay $l5 a load, six wagon
loads to make a cord, and now at
this time the price is almost as
much when you buy by the load
That part of the News report about
wood being plentiful, is correct, but
when it adds cheap, he is talking
about something he is not up on
He will learn though, if he remains
in this city the coming winter and
undertakes to keep warm by a wood
fire.

Rostand and "Cyrano."

Lippincotts Magazine.
Every line, grave or gay, of "Cyrano de
Bergerac" is literary" which is much more
than can be said of lie Medecin Maligre
Lui." But the broad moral philosophy the
cosmopolitan view, and the sound judgment
of '"Tartuffe" and Les Femmes Savantes"
are as much lacking in "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac' as the frail sensibility. the soaring
idealism and the fine artistic handiwork
of "Cyrano de Bergerac" are absent from
"Tartuffe' and Les Femmes SaVantes'
Rostand Is the pre-eminent VerbalSt and
sentimentalist of the French drama. He
has the perennial talent of the right word
dice to rhyme. Cyrano is king of the polite
joke and the erudite pun in French stage
land
Edmond Rostand's genius is Of the high
est, but not the highest. He lays down no
laws of conduct for all men in all times.
He has no pithy maXimS to dispense. We
cannot look to him for the safest and Wisest
moral instruction. And however deeply our
aesthetic sense is intoxicated, however we
marvel at his nimble scholarship, into what
ever ecstasy we go over his perfect ex-
preston of exquisite thoughts, our inVesti-
eating, speculative, deductive reasoning
faculties remain untouched. Our splendid
young Frenchman is, indeed a great poet
and little philosopher. He is not one of
those dramatiStS
Whose blood and Judgment are so well
commingled"
that they satisfy your whole soul He is
not Sophocles, not Schiller, not Calderon.

DECLARES AN EVANSVILLE JURY LET
BANK wRECKER ESCAPE.

itentiary-state News.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

| EVANSVILLE. Ind. Jan. 23.-Judge Ba-
ker adjourned United States Court here
very suddenly to-day after the sensational
dismissal of the case against L. w. Rosen-
kranz late cashier of the Mount Vernon
National Bank. who. with Albert Wade,
was charged with wrecking that institution.
The verdict of the jury Saturday night was
so much at variance with what most people
who had heard the evidence expected that it
gave rise to no end of gossip, and sensa-
tionaI features of the case were set down TO
appear in the Rosenkranz trial. in which
the evidence was to begin this morning.
The sensation. however, did not appear in
the evidence, but in the action Of the court
upon a motion by the district attorney in
structing the jury to find verdict of not
guilty for Rosenkranz.
District Attorney Wishard stated that he
regarded Wade guilty man, notwithstand-
ing the verdict, and did not think it right to
prosecute Rosenkrans, whom he regarded as
subordinate in the matter of crime He
then asked to have the indictment nollied.
Judge Baker then said
THE court agrees in what has been said
by the district attorney. The verdict of
the jury in the other case in view of the
fact that the defendant swore to substan-
TALLY every fact essential to prove his guilt,
was, to say the least of it, great surprise
to the court. OF course it is unfortunate
that there should be miscarriage of just
ice in any case, but the court believes it
was in 10 wise responsible for that miscar-
riage. Long experience at the bar and on
the bench satisfies the court that there is
more danger of the miscarriage of justice
where wealthy people who have committed
crimes are concerned than in the case of
some poor fellow who has committed some
petty depreciation. In such cases as that
the course of the administration of justice
is usually pure and mountaineering, and
verdicts are reached in exact accordance
with the law and the facts; but where banks
are wrecked or railroads are wrecked,
and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars lost, it seems, some way that
it is difficult to persuade the jury that a
man accused of a great crime deserves pun
ishment and l am impressed with the be-
lief that such miscarriages of justice tend
very largely to bring about that condition of
social unrest that leads bad men to organ
ize mobs and hang people who have been
guilty of nothing worse than a systematic
series of petty depreda lions. / agree with
the district attorney that it would be UNI
fair, as the court understands the evidence
in this case, to single out Mr.. Rosenkranz
and send him to the State Prison, while the
man who, according to the evidence that has
been heard, was the principal criminal goes
acquitted by the verdict OF the jury. | will
therefore direct the senographer to write UP
verdict Of not guilty.
verdict of not guilty was prepared and
returned by the jury.

There was full house to witness the
first performance of "A Scrap of Paper at
the Grand last night, a flattering recogni-
ton of the beauty of the new stock COM
pany production This was more than the
management expected, considering the
strong attractions at the other houses. The
performance was a delight, Sardous merry
romantic comedy being at once recognized as
one of the daintiest and prettiest plays the
stock company has put on this season. To give
a review of the play is hardly necessary,
as everybody familiar with standard plays
knows what decidedly clever thing "A
Scrap of Paper" is. 1t is of the French
Frenchy, filled with abs" and "oh's' and
shrugs of the shoulders, and smiles, and all
the little gestures that convey so much
meaning without the medium of speech.
Mr. Hansel as Prosper Couramont, and Miss
shannon as Mademoiselle De RuseVille,
have practically the whole play, the other
characters merely serving as foils to their
bright contest of wit. Miss Shannon was
especially happy in her role. She is as
merry ana Pheasant to see as ray of sun
shine, and more than ever won the hearts
of the audience. Mr.. Hansell gave an ex-
hibition of his cleVerneSs and Versati as
a pOrtrayer of characters, and it is evident
that he will be great favorite with pa
irons of the Grand Mr.. Sheldon as Brise-
mouche. presented a new character study

of the role of Mademoiselle Zenobie, and

the eVenness which characterizes the work

PATRoLMEN RECEIVE ORDERS
Must Not Go Into Saloons wearing
Uniforms.

The Board of Safety yesterday made an
order prohibiting patrolmen from going
into saloons when wearing uniforms,
whether off duty or not, except under or
ders from their superior officers or to quell
disturbances. The board has received re-
ports to the effect that policemen have
fallen into the habit of visiting saloons on
their beats and this it is believed subjects
by not visiting such places
becoming intoxicated while off duty and
creating 4 disturbance in the west end of
the city, was, on a plea of guilty, fined
thirty days pay. Under the present rules
of the board patrOlmen have to work out the
time when they are fined and are not per-
mitted to loaf as formerly
Captain James O. George accused by
Bert" Spencer with having made disparag-
ing remarks concerning the administra ton,
was before the board and made an explana-
ton. He said that an old friend was twt-
ting him about the election of a member of
the board of pensioners, and that in this
discussion he made some disparaging re-
marks in the heat of argument concerning
some of the officers of the fire department
and the administration, although he said
nothing out of the way about the mayor
The board administered a mild reproval
asserting that if there are members of the
fire department who do not like the way
things are run there are plenty of men to
take their places. Patrolman Johnson and
Captain George are both Democrats.
