The Italian Royal Palaces.

If Italy is to practice economies, no
doubt a very convenient one to begin
on Is the proposed cutting down of the
list of royal palaces, not half of which
can be visited even once year by the
king. But the curtailment brings with
it some incidental regrets. If the Ven
ice palace Is vacated then the king
will lose his unique distinction as the
only reignlng monarch who lives over
a shop, the lower story of the royal
residence in the piazza of st. Marks
having been ceded immemorially to the
buyers and barterers. A more serious
sequel to the diScontinuance of the pal
ace at Turin in Milan. or Florence, for
instance, is the increased centraliza-
ton of everything Italian in Rome, az
cordlng to the model set up in Paris
and London. Italy, which copies in its
great towns the very uniform Of the
London police, is content, no doubt, in
this larger matter to be governed by
the precedent which we have supplied.

Five Miles An Hour.

There is no shadow OF a possible
shadow OF doubt that the day OF the
motor car and automobile fiend is ct
an end in Paris and the same may be
said OF the scorching cyclist. The

of dust are no more. Their desperate
recklessness has led the police to
cut down to eight kilometers. which

$1,000 DAMAGES ALLOWED MRS.

Sued Her Landlord for Injuries from a

ing of Mcintyre Creditors.

Arguments We're made before Judge
Ralph Wheeler and the jury of the SUI
perior court yesterday in the case of
Mrs. Anna Gallagher, who sued her
landlord, William Button, for $1,000 be-
cause a fire escape broke down under
her weight and she fell, sustaining Sc
we're injuries. The evidence of the plain
tiff was in effect that she went out on
the fire escape to fasten a swinging
blind, and that then the accident hap
pened
Judge Blydenburgh who represented
the defense, went extensively into the
law during his argument He claimed
that the fire escape should not be used
for any other purpose except as a means
of safety in case of fire, and that the
plaintiff had no case unless she received
injuries while using the fire escape for
its proper purpose.
The jury rendered verdict Of $1,000
damages.

trained portion Of the represented au-
dience. These will rehearse nearly if
not quite as often as the cast, but will
have no lines to memorize outside The
rest Of the audience of fifty to seventy
five people will be composed Of super
numeraries.
There was an important meeting of
the association last evening at 7:45 in
Alumni hall. The meeting was address,
ed by Prof. Cook and Assistant Profess
sor Phelps of the English department.
The play, THE Second Shepherds
Play" is taken from the Townly Cycle
of Plays dated about 1400. It was act
ed by Mr.. Sargent's Dramatic School in
New York recently and also by the I'M
dergraduates of Tufts college. But in
the latter case 1t was translated into
prose, which somewhat marred the eff
feet In the present instance only such
changes have been made as are neces-
sary to make it Ineligible to a modern
audience while the RHYTHM, rhyme and
ancient "twang" of the play have been
preserved as far as possible. The piece
deals with the announcement to the
shepherds of the nativity of Christ, but
while there is religious tone through
out there is large element of the hui
morous in the play In the play the
stage of the Hyperion will represent a
street in an old English town of the
middle ages with crowd Of peasants
about. A pageant is dragged in and
upon this the play will be given. 1t
is not long play and was originally
acted by the Trade Guilds Of the town
of Wakefield in Yorkshire England.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN.

Reported Preparations for Movement
from Decentralization Oc-
cupied by General Clements We'll
coined by the Misunderstanding Siege
of Mafeking.
London, March 2S.--The British high
commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner arriv-
ed at Bloemfontein last night, and was
met by Lord Roberts and his staff. Ac-
cording to dispatch from Bloemfontein
published in the second edition of the
Times to-day the high commissioners
visit is of a private nature. 1t is
thought that this is an official subter-
fuge, the question of the pacification
of the Free State and the treatment of
the insurgents, doubtless, being discuss
ed between him and Lord Roberts.
According to the same dispatch Cen
Bloemfontein, occupied the flour mills
near Batter, which are considered an
important acquisition.
Another dispatch from Bloemfontein
says: 1.-THE period of inaction is coming
to an end. The troops are being push
ed to the front and transports and
stores are being collected. The men are
in grand condition and the horses are
picking up wonderfully"
The reports regarding the imminence
of forward movement are so conflict
ing that this cannot be taken as being
in any way authoritative.
Reports from Rockville and other
towns say that the surrender of arms
to the British continues satisfactorily.
General Clements column entered
Fauresmith, in the orange Free State,
southwest of Bloemfontsin, yesterday,
occupying Jagersfontein on its way
there Magistrates were appointed, the
proclamation was read, bands of music
met the troops, and flags We're flown.
The scenes resembed the American oc-
cupation of Puerto Rican towns. Among
the spectators was President Steyn's
daughter. Heavy rains made General
Clements march hard, and are causing
sickness among the troops.
A dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, |
dated yesterday says that the appar-
emily reliable reports that the Beers are
re-entering Ladybrand causes the pre-
sumption that the British troops have |
