THEATRICAL.

The role Of the dashing equestrienne,
LADY Gay Spanker will serve to show
another phase of Miss Blanche Bates
talents when the Frawley Company puts
on "LoDdon Assurance" for its final
week at the Columbia. The story is
that Dion Boucicault wrote the part
especially for an actress with whom he
was much smitten, and who was instru
mental in putting his maiden play on the
stage. Certainly he put into it some Of
the best lines he ever wrote, and the
part has served to test the abilities of
the brightest com mediennes OF the English
speaking stage, from that time to this
Lady Gay is all dash, sparkle and wit
from her first entrance TO the finale Of
the play. She is plucky cross country
rider, who dearly loves a horse, and her
terse, tense description OF a steeple-
chase, which she won, has been the
delight of real actresses and the despair
Of mere declaimers ever since it was
written. 1t runs something as follows:
"How did my flly behave herself,
GayP asks Max Harkaway, an English
sporting squire, and one Of her boon
companions in the chase.
"Gloriously, Max, gloriouslyW cries
Lady Gay enthusiastically. There were
sixteen horses in the start, all mettle to
the bone; the start was picture-away
we went IN a cloud, pell NELL helter
skelter--the fools first, as usual, using
themselves up, We soon passed them
first your Kitty, then my Blue skin, and
Craven's colt last. Then came the tug:
KITTY skinned the walls, BlueskIn flew
over the fences, the colt neck and neck,
and hall mile to run. AT last the colt
baked a leap and went wild. Kitty and
had 1t all TO ourselves; she was three
lengths ahead as we. breasted the last
wall, six feet If an inch, and ditch on
the other side. Now, for the frst time
gave Blueskin his head, ha. hal Away he
few like thunderbolt-over went the
fillY--I over the same spot, leaving Kitty
IN the ditch--walked the steeple, eight
miles IN thirty minutes. and scarcely
turned a hair"
That's something less than the
average audience will do, for this lively
description of steeplerhase, properly
acted, never fails to bring down the
house in rounds Of applause. 1he
other characters oithe play-the foppish
old Sir Harcourt Courtly his lively son,
Charles, Grace Harkaway, whom the
son wins away from his own father; the
audacious Dazzle, the willy valet, Cool,
and the mild husband Oi Lady Gay, will
give ample opportunities for the best
character actors of the Frawley Com.
pany. London Assurance" will be the
bill until Friday night, when Sweet
Lavender" will be revived, with Miss
Bates as Minnie GIlfIlian; while on
Saturday the season will come to a close
with two performances Of THE WIFE,"
with Miss Bates as Helen Truman, and
others Of the company IN familiar roles.

Revenging Captain TneY's Death,

Revenging Captain TIIleY's Death.
The government dispatches
state that a fearful revenge was
taken on the murderer" OF Capt.
Tlliey. What this fearful revenge
was is not stated. Most likely all
the men, women and children
found in the neighborhood were
killed.
Capt. Tilley was on a military
expedition. II he lost his life it
was the same as il he lost il in bat
tie, and was, therefore, not muir
der.
Our soldiers shoot down the
Filipinos like so many rabbits.
They make no distinction, but fire
upon women and children, and do
not look upon it as murder to shoot
them with our big cannons. That
they FIRE well, the many new graves
in their burial grounds will show.
The FilIplnos are Christians, too,
and have cemeteries, though they
may be Catholics.

Mnrderl

There seems to be no longer any
doubt that orders have been given
by some of our generals before
Manila not to take any prisoners,
and that those orders have been
carried out, and prisoners in large
numbers, pleading tor mercy, have
been shot. AS a consequence such
of the American soldiers who hap
pen to b. captured cannot hope
to be spared, and prisoners on both
sides will be sacrificed.
such a war is a disgrace 70 the
roth century. It is a blot on the
civilization of the age. 1t is a
mockery OF the nation that prices
itself on being the freest in the
world. It is a reproach, shame,
on the land OF the free and the
home Of the brave" 1t stamps
Mckinley as an Attila and me-
dieval despot. II makes us a ma
ton Of murderers, tor to kill de
tenseless prisoner is murder.
And the butchery is not over.
The army of butchers is to be
doubled. The number OF the
butchered men, women and child
rem is to be increased. Twice as
much blood is to flow on both sides
and why1
Because Mckinley, the blood
thirsty tyrant, wants it so. Be-
cause he has ordered millions Of
people to be exterminated Tor COM
mitting the same crime perpe-
trated by the heroes Of 1916! Be-
cause he hates liberty, and the
Filipinos must not enjoy freedom,
so dear formerly to our own peo-
pie.
And the Democrats! Have they
become miserable towards who
dare not even lift their voices in

Not an Easy Task.

When the Filipino insurrection
oil 1896 broke out-that is, two
years before our war with Spain
the whole number OF regular Span
ish troops in the Island Of Luzon
is estimated at from 1000 to 1000.
When that insurIection was tempo
rarily suppressed by Gen. Primo
de Rivera, who subsidized Agui-
naldo and the revolutionary
leaders to leave the island, the
whole number of Spanish soldiers
scattered throughout the Philip
pine archipelago was placed ap-
proximately at 10000. We have
now a great many more soldiers
in these islands than Spain ever
had there. Net only haYe We
assembled a larger army but we
have gathered there a far more
formidable feet than the Spaniards
ever took into the waters OF the
Pacific.
These are facts which, if they do
not make President Mckinley
pause and reflect, are certainly
calculated to give the American
people serious food for reflection.
To suDdue a people without their
consent is not an easy task.

INFORMATION FOR BREW ERs


The "Pure Beer" bill passed by
the Republican State Legislature
OF New York has been vetoed by
Governor Roosevelt. Thus was
very amiable on the part OF the
Governor. He would have re-
ceived, however, a great deal more
credit, had he wiped out his bad
record as Police Commissioner by
killing the odicus Raines law bill.
But, even as it is, the Governor de-
serves credit.
The New York "Pure Beer" bill
applied only to the New York
brewers. To reach the other brew
ers the National Brewers Associa-
ton appropriated money in sup
port of the passage Of a national
"Pure Beer" bill. which would
affect all the brewers throughout
the country, Such bill was the
Brosius bill. But even that bill
did nos in it's present shape FIX a
"pure beer" standard. 1t, in fact,
says nothing about beer. This,
we suppose, was to be done alter
wards.
What the standard would be was
unkno wn, and the brewers should
not have labored for bill without
knowing its principal features.
AS we understand, the bill, after
passing Congress, had to be adop-
ted by the various State Legisla
lures before it would be in effect
The New York Legislature would,
therefore, have a revival Of its de-
feated State "Pure Beer" bill. This
would hardly be prudent policy
as it would allow the Brosius bill
to be amended to any extent.
We believe that it will be bad
policy for the brewers to continue
iavoring the Brosius bill. There
is no need for any such measure,
after the Governor OF New York
has killed the State bill. Bad bills
should be destroyed by individual
efforts in the States where they
origin ate, and not be made national
by Congressional legislation. /
that policy is correct the Iowa
Kansas, and Vermont brewers, II
order to get even with the othe
brewers, might ask Congress tor
national prohibitory law, as tha
would put them in a bushes way
on equal footing,
We are against the Brosius bill
because it is not complete and doe'
not explain its extent and mean
ing. And then we are against al
laws that unnecessarily hamper
and interfere with business. We
remember that for this reason We
opposed, and the brewers opposed
the passage OF the 215 bushel bill
and finally defeated it.

The AIasIs Boundary Dispute.

The Anglo-American Joint
High Commission for the adjust
ment OF various questions in dis
pute between this country and
Canada adjourned several months
ago, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
because the Alaskan boundary
presented an apparently insur
mountable obstacle to successful
negotiation. After the adjourn
ment OF the commission the two
governments undertook to devise
plans Tor settling the boundary
dispute and thus clear the way for
the consideration OF various other
important questions in debate. It
is now reported that Just as a vir.
tual agreement Is reached to re-
move the boundary question from
the hands Of the commission and
submit it to the decision Of a
special tribunal OF arbitration,
Canada interposes a fatal objec-
ton in the shape Of demand for
a strip OF our territory. Canada's
position is understood to be that
she will not assent to the subr,is-
sion Of the boundary question to
arbitration unless Pyramid Harbor
for a port and strip OF land shall
become Canadian territory. II the
reports are correct, this is the kind
OF arbitration that exacts a favor
able decision in advance on the
vital point at issue as a condition
OF submitting to arbitration, and
naturally has met with objection
from this government. The nego-
tiations are now at standstill md,
uniortu 1ately, If the deadlock con-
tinues, there is very slight hope
that the High Commission will
resume its sittings to settle the
other important issues, which, il is
said, were on the point OF adjust
ment when the boundary dispute
blocked the way.

The President

may find it good politics to go
to St. Paul, Mimi, and welcome
the volunteers who will return
from the Philippines within the
next few months. Whatever ad.
vantage ne may derive from meet
ing them and lauding their heroism
will be of little avail, however, #
he finds it necessary to call for
more volunteers TO reinforce Cen
eral Otis. The valuable lives that
have been sacrificed in subduIng
the Filipinos constitute a part OF
the record which the President
must face next year, when he goes
before the country for reelection.
To send more young men to the
Philippines to engage in a war OF
conquest will involve a still
greater loss of life, yet it is hardly
posi- Die that call for volunteers
can be avoided ifthe Administra-
ton persists in its policy Of con-
quering the Filipinos. General
OTIS has informed the President
that he cannot continue operations
in the Philippines without an efec-
tive fighting force of $4,000 men.
The President and Secretary Alger
have decided, it is stated, that Otis
shall have additional men, even if
it is necessary to call for volunteers.
1t is a dreadful thing to send our
young men to the Philippines to
perish from disease and an ener-
waiting climate. Perhaps the Presi-
dent may realize this later, although
he seems to regard the matter with
remarkable complacency just now.

vast interest and assistance to pur-
chasers of Christmas gifts this season.
The firm has arranged to pack any ar
ticle in the most appropriate style, en-
close the purchasers card and deliver

such other time as may be desired.

any time, the firm doing the rest and
the whole matter of delivery being of
no annoyance to the sender.
Take, for instance, presents in sterl-
ing silver ware. There is an immense
show case filled with all kinds of gifts
in this line. The firm will engrave any
thing that may be desired upon the ar
ticles. In the packing room the pres
ents are carefully cased and wrapped,
in a manner that would be quite inn
possible at ones home. Cards of the
sender are placed in the packages and
the gifts will be delivered at any spe-
of the establishment is a department of
plated goods. which are cheaper but
are packed and delivered in the same
way.
The display of cut glass goods has
never been equalled in this city. In the
assortment is everything a person car
! think of. OF parlor and hall lamps

DETECTIVE AND prisoner
PASSENGERS ON THE AMERICA
MARU.
A Story of Crime and Romance That
Began in New York and Will End
There.

After a flight halfway round the
, world with a pretty young actress,
ending in his capture by Japanese de-
tectives, A. NJ. Kent, Jr., was a pas
senger on the America Maru this morn
ing, in charge of Chief Police F. A.
johnson of jamestown, New York.
Before he started on his travels Kent
forged notes amounting to $4,000 Civ
ing $4,000 of the money to his fair COM
paniOn, who was arrested in San Fran
isco for receiving stolen money. The
forgeries and the elopement took place
last April, in jamestown and ever since
| then the detectives of several Coun-
tries have been on the trail of the
young couple.
Kent was a member of the firm of
Kent & Company, in jamestown when
/ the young woman who shares his trOu-
bes visited the place. She was
| teacher of singing and an accomplished
concert and stage singer. Kent was
! engaged to marry young girl in his
own town, when the pretty singer won
his heart. The result of his transfer
of affections was the forging of his
uncle's name to two notes for $5, 600
each and one for $4,000, and with the
| money the couple, calling themselves
Mr. and Mrs. Mannering, started for
the Orient via Victoria. After several
gay weeks in the Grand Hotel at Yo-
kohama, Kent found out that japanese
detectives We're on his trail. He sent
the fair young singer away to divert
suspicion and she was arrested as she
walked down the gangpank of the
Hongkong Maru at San Francisco.
Kent was traced to a hotel in Shoji,
Japan and tried to commit suicide
when told that he was wanted. He had
few hundred dollars in his possession.
News of the capture was sent to
jamestown and the chief of police at
once started after the man.
Kent was allowed to go on the dock
at the Pacific Mail wharf here, but not
beyond the wharf. He was dressed In
white duck and as the steamer left the
wharf he chatted cheerfully with his
captor. His identity is not known to
the passengers on board, none of them
suspecting that the good-lOoking young
man who sits at table with his compan-
ion every day is really under arrest for
a grave crime. He will be sent 20
jamestown as soon as the vessel ar
riVes.
The young woman in the case has
already gone to her Eastern home. Her
friends say she is more snned against
than SHINING and she declares that she
did not know that the money given her
by her sweetheart was stolen. When
arrested she was. on her way to New
York, with one dollar in her pocket,
When asked how she expected to live
she said her voice was enough to live
on. With the lonely dollar in her purse
was the following verse of Sir Edwin
Arnolds, clipped from newspaper:
Somewhere there waiteth in this world
of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul,
Each chasing each through all the lone
ly hours,
And meeting strangely at one sudden
goal.
Then blend they like green leaves with
golden showers,
Into one beautiful and perfect whole;
And life's long night is ended and the
way
Lies open forward to eternal day.
