THE PARK PLAYERS.

The performances at the Park The
atre grow steadily better and better,
and last nights presentation of Held
by the Enemy" was almost an ideal
one. The cool weather Furthermore
had an invigorating effect on the at
tendance. The dainty playhouse never
looked more attractive than with its
tasteful decorations of the national col
ors, and the company's standard is
high, not only as regards talent, but al
so with respect to good looks, as may
be seen from the photographs that line
the entrance.
Next weeks play is "Aristocracy,"
from the pen Of the greatest American
dramatist, Bronson Howard, author of
Shenandoah" and THE Bankers
Daughter" There are not enough la
dies in the company to go around all
the parts, and so Miss Alice Pennoyer,
from the Girard Avenue Theatre, Phil
adelphia, has been engaged. The new
conner is a remarkably pretty girl, with
an excellent reputation for versatility.
Most actresses confine their efforts to
certain styles of work; but Miss Pen
meyer can play anything, from little
Eva to Lady Macbeth.

shortly after the lean was made Gran

Protest has been raised in various
cities against keeping children hived in
the public schools when the tempera-
ture ranges around 90 degrees, and it
has lately found expression in Worces-
ter. 1t may be generally asserted that
a majority of boys and girls are as well
off in school as they would be at home,
and frequently are much better cared
for. It is an obvious suggestion that
those who cannot endure the fatigue of
the few excessively hot days that come
before the close of the term should be
invaded and sent home, and on GER
tain days there would be wisdom in
holding but single session of school.
Fidgeting and depression that result
from extreme weather will nullify the
best of teaching.

1t is recalled that the late Frank
Thomson, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was the right hand man of
Tom Scott, when the latter was taken
from the head of the same railroad and
made assistant secretary of war in the
Lincoln administration. The Transport
tation of troops was recognized as one
of the most pressing problems Of the
civil war; and it was entrusted to eX-
perienced hands. 1t was the success of
such men as Thomson that made the
title, pennsylvania railroad manager, ="
a synonym for the highest type of eX-
ecutive ability and disciplinary force.

When the chief of the New York po-

he will end the contest, the rest of the

fair that it must be protected against
any chance of loss. Police interference

found to be getting the worst of it.

Statistics gathered from government
reports by Baltimore scientists tell a
sad story of the destruction of birds
in the United States. 1t appears that
in the past fifteen years, the average
decrease of bird life is As per cent for

centage is given as p, which is about
as low as any state can boast. In New

birds have reason for alarm.

LINCOLN AND THE C0PPEhHEADS.


In the June McClure's Ida NJ Tar
bell devotes a chapter in her interesting
series upon Abraham Lincoln, to Lin
coin and the Soldiers" It seems to have
been written for the special perusal of
Edward Atkinson and his Anti-imperial-
istic leaguers, though of course it was
not aimed at them. AS the years of the
civil war rolled along, Lincoln was
greatly disturbed by assertions from
the army, which became most numerous
for various reasons. The Aladdin At
kinsons of those days were known as
copperheads, and they accomplished
much more evil than they can
these days. Lincoln, whose heart
was as tender as maidens,
whose nature was one of the most
kindly that ever dwelt in human frame,
abhorred the death penalty which it
was necessary to enforce for desertion.
and saved the victim whenever he could
find a reasonable excuse for such ac-
ton.
Lincoln saw what others ignored, the
causes which We're behind it in many in
stances. In countries where militarism
rules, they would not have existed, but
in our simple republic where great
freedom of speech was permitted in the
days of the civil war as now a presi-
dent Of Lincoln's scope would not ignore
them in their effect upon the morale of
81, ~
have given such causes consideration in
dealing with such matters as deser-
tions.
Many men deserted because of the
emancipation proclamation, because
they did not believe the president had
the right to issue it. Lincoln also was
aware that the copperhead agitation in
the north reached the army, and that
hundreds of men were being urged by
parents and friends hostile to the adj
was directed Alright. 1t was not toward
the soldier, but against the agitators who
welded the influence. And this is the
way he expressed himself:
VI uSL L SuOOl q Sill PIE LilllUti SOlultl
boy who deserts, while l must not touch
a hair of a willy agitatOr who induces
him to desert? This is none the less in
furious when effected by getting a
father. or brother, or friend into a pub
lie meeting. and there working upon his
feelings until he is persuaded to write
the soldier boy that he is fighting in
a bad cause for a wicked administra-
ton of a contemplate government, toe
weak to arrest and punish him if he
shall desert. I think that in such a case
to silence the agitatOr. and save the
boy, is not only constitutional, but
withal a great mercy"
Edward Atkinson and the foolish mem
bers of the Anti-imperialistic league
have sought by agitation to cause the
present administration the same trouble
and perplexity that Lincoln suffered
from the copperheads. Atkinson has
openly advocated desertion from the
army in the Philippines. Must McKin-
ley shoot the supplemented soldier boy
who deserts, while he must not touch
hair of the willy agitator who induces
him to desert?
The members of the Anti-imperial-
istic league have already heard a voice
as big as the United States say mot
much"

THE INFALLIBLE MAN.

There was a man who never made
A blunder in his life:
He loved a girl. but was afraid
If she became his wife
That he or she might rue the day
That brought them bliss, and SO
He put the happiness away
That welded lovers know.
One day the man who never made
Mistakes perceived the way
That led to fame. but still afraid,
Drew back and stole away:
He Stunned the winding paths that led
To distant. unseen ends.
And kept the road that stretched ahead
With neither sleeps nor bends.
AT last the man who never made
Mistakes fell by the way;
In garments that were badly frayed,
And pale and starved he lay:
No weeping friend bent ser him there,
Nor servant, child. nor wife;
But victory was his-he ne'er
Had blundered in his life.
