An Intelligent Censor.

No play may be publicly performed
IN England until it has been passed
upon and agreed to by the stage CEN
sor. A certificate must be secured
from the lord chamberlain. The lord
chamberlain himself does not, Of
course, read all the plays submitted to
him, but the work is passed on to the
examiner Of plays, who is not always
a man of education or discretion and
who In many cases has been suspected
OF letting things pass because man.
ayers have made it profitable to him
to close his eyes to supposed faults.
The story is told of one Of these ex-
aminers who was moved to strike out
drunk as lord" in one Of the plays
submitted to him. There used to be
an old rule that the word Heaven"
should be substituted in stage lines
wherever the name Of any of the per-
sons Of the Trinity came up. So this
clever examiner changed the line to
read "as drunk as heaven"
The penalty for disobeying the ex-
aminer Is fine Of $3.50, which may be
levied on any person connected with
the forbidden performance-callboy as
well as star.

Anoka-Hastings. A
Plans For Two New Cottage Buildings Ac-
cspted.

The state board Of hospital trustees
examined the plans for the two new cot
tage buildings at Anoka and Hastings,
submitted by Architect W. B. Dunnell,
Of Minneapolis, and decided to accept
the plan submitted to be duplicated at
both Hasting and Anoka. =z
The board will call for bids within a
few weeks, as soon as the exact text Of
the law on that subject. is looked up.
The two buildings will cost $4,000
each, and will accommodate 200 patients
each. One-half Of each building will be
completed by fall, giving accommoda-
ton to 100 patients, and the other half
will be built next spring.
The plans call for two-story brick
buildings, without veneer, with an eight
foot basement. The laundry, baking
and workrooms will all be situated in
the basement, while the patients quar-
ters and reception rooms will be on the
two floors above. Z
The board estimates that the two
buildings will cost $4,000, the heating
apparatus, $4,000; plumbing, $4,000,
and furnishing about $4,000. The work,
however, may be completed at some-
what below the estimates.
