ton lists to be furnished to the commit
teemen would have printed on the backs

Amateurs Put on "A Fools Paradise"
Very CIeverIy.

very 1tcNtFiy.
A fairly large audience witnessed the
excellent performance of "a Fools Para
disc at the theater last night. The cast
was made up of amateurs-the same, with
one exception, who presented the play
some weeks ago for the benefit of the
Young Mems Hebrew Association The
repetition was for the benefit of Post A
OF the Travellers Protective Association,
The work of the cast was reviewed on
the occasion of the former presentation.
1t was even better last night, the expe-
rience of The first production and the re-
hearsals that followed having made the
company more familiar with their parts
and more assured of themselves. There
was some very creditable acting, several
of the scenes being very strong and adj
mirably done. Miss Rita Roth was the
addition to the company, and her inter
probation of the part of Kate Derwent
was very clever.
Following was the cast:

The Joshua Simpkins Company, with
two brass bands and orchestra, will be
seen at the Theater tonight and to-mor-
row matinee ana night. The play is said
to be made of fun and realism, combining
the features of realistic melodrama ana
the rural play The character sketches
are said to be clever. The company comes
recommended as a good one. The saw
mill scene in The third act is said to be
realistic. A circular saw is seen in mo-
ton, and, just to show that ii Is the real
article, a board is sawed off log in full
view of the audience, after which Caleb
Simpkins, Uncle Josh's son, is dashed to
the log by the villains and started toward
the teeth of the saw.
Hoyts "A Texas Steer will be PLAYED
at the Thursday matinee and night. ii is
the story of a wealthy Texan who has
been elected to Congress, and his expert
ences in Washington. Through IL all is a
charming love affair between his daugh-
ter and IAN army officer, which is inter-
esting in the extreme, to say nothing of
the introduction Of characters for when
the nations capital is so well known. The
ways and means of the politicians are
well known, and the development of the
rough Texan household into the social
leaders of the city is particularly pleas
ing. In fact, "A Texas Steer" is conced-
ed to be one of the cleverest and at the
same time one of the most amusing sat
Tres of present day politics.

Judge Humphr reys OF the Circuit
Court OF this small territory is very
particular. His Honor is on his
dignity as no legal 'luminary has ap-
peared to be in these islands. He
made an exhibition OF himself yes
terday that would make an idol
grin, when he forbade Mr.. F. j.
Testa to talk to the clerk OF the
court while not adorned with coat.
Testa did his usual function in the
newspaper business by copying
"court notes." and he was as most
working men are during business
hours in this warm climate in his
shirt sleeves. The fact hurt the
learned judge, who probably didn't
have shirts when he arrived here.
He deliberately insulted Mr.. Testa,
who knows more about the etiquette
OF a court in a minute than Mr..
Humphreys does in a year, and all
because The INDEPENDENT, a few
weeks ago, called special attention
to'the improperly OF a judge of the
Circuit Court making a cowardly
attack on brother judge, who had
the misfortune OF being o Democrat.
We hope that Mr.. Testa will take
no notice OF the insult offered to
him by the petty-fogging carpet
Dagger, who has gained a seat in
our formerly honorable courts. The
judge is too insignificant to be
noticed whether he has shirt on or
not In the meantime we hope our
staff will attend to their business
without asking the advice OF Judge
as to the size OF their collars or
their costume in general.

Wildmsn Attacked.

Private advices from Shanghai re-
late rather disagreeable experience
undergone by Consul General Wild.
man, who has gone to Japan for a
holiday, writes the China Mail. On
June 18th Mr.. Louis Spitzel met
Mr.. Wildman in the Astor House
and threatened that the latter
would not leave Shanghai alive. The
officers OF the Rio de Janeiro inter-
fered and Captain Very, OF the U.
S. S. Castine, placed guard at Mr..
Wildm,n' disposal while in the
city. At the instance OF the British
Consul General Warren, United
States Consul General Goodnow
placed Spitzel under bond to keep
the peace. The China Gazette re-
ports the occurre nee in the follow
ing terms: "The vestibule of Shang-
ha's leading hotel was to-day the
scene OF what the crowd Of specta-
tors, lounging about after tiffin,
thought was going to end in a CORY
combat. Mr.. Rounsville Wildman,
the United States Consul. General
from Hongkong, whose little trans
actions with the Filipinos and their
funds has brought him into some
prominence, was accosted by an
other gentleman who has lately had
a very unpleasant experience OF the
dark side of American ways in Ma.
nila, Mr.. Louis Spitzsl, who loudly
and very publicly denounced the
erstwhile friend OF Aguinaldo as
having hand in the business which
brought him (Mr. SpiizeD into such
unpleasant conflict with the United
States authorities in the Philip.

treatment he received there, ana
to day when be attacked Mr. Wild-
man people expected to see things
fly. But they did not; the United
States Consul from Hongkong
suavely denied any knowledge oi
the matter, which led his asSailant
to make numerous loud-toned re-
Elections upon Mr.. Wildman's appre
citation OF The niceties OF strict YER
acity, only he put it in much more
forcible words. But even this strong
provocation and threats OF personal
chastisement failed to have any
effect upon the imperturbability OF
Mr.. Wildman, much to everyone's
surprise, aud he contented himself
with polite aud repeated denials,
till what threatened to be a deadly
combat ended iu wordy duel, in
which all the fighting was on Mr.
Spitzels side."
