\ MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION.

"Quo Vadis'' Greatly Exceeds the Antici-
patton of the Audience-Sanford Dodge
Popular Favorite and Supported by a
Strong Company. ~
A large audience witnessed a SPLEEN
did production Of "Quo Vadis" at the
grand opera house last evening. San
ford Dodge and a capable company of
players proved themselves fully equal
to the task of presenting So mammoth
a drama as ''Quo Vadis" in highly
creditable and interesting manner.s
Sanford Dodge is "a marvellous
dramatic actor and as Marcus Vinicius
his portrayal of the character bof a
sturdy young Roman .soldier79 was
nothing short Of superb. Throughout
the play the personality and feryor OF
Mr. Dodge was diffused with such sin
certify that called for hearty applause
from the audience.
No less Important was the character
OF Petronius taken by Richard Rut-
ledge who is an actor of first class abil-
ity. Mr.. Rutledge fairly divides the
honors with Mr.. Dodge. A student of
"Quo Vadis:' must necessarily admire
Petronius. Tho pagan in all his
associations and favorite of Nero,
yet this ''Arbiter of Elegance" appears
UNNECESSARILY superior to the vulgar
ity of the court which often heard his
keen wit with dismay and wondered at
his fine display of aesthetic tastes.
Mr.. Rutledge presented the part IN an
able way. Miss leila Leslie in Lygia
did not in the least disappoint her
audience and gave the part an ex-
preston of tenderness and innocence
that drew her strong sympathy. Every
member of the company is an actor of
ability. Mr. Dodge and company give
a splendid presentation of the power
full drama-one that is we'll worth see
ing.
There are many special features
worthy of mention. Those especially
notable are the "games'' in act II and
the "Burning of Rome" in act ~. The
latter scene is one of the greatest of
spectacular event. It is triumph of
scenic artist and gives a vivid picture
of burning city. ''Quo Vadis'' fur
nished genuine enjoyment for a good
house.-ChlppeeoG Falls Herald, May 25.

HONESTY IN PUBLIC LIFE.

HONESTY IN PUBLIC LIFE.
Governor Roosevelt says that while
we need fearless criticism of dishonest
men and even of honest men, on any
point where they go wrong, we more
than all else need absolute honesty in
public life, but I'VE shall not get it I'M
til we remember that truth-telling
must go hand in hand with it, and that
it is quite as Important not to tell an
untruth about decent man as it is to
tell the truth about one who is not de-
cent We believe that the so-called
reformers, by their virulent and I'M
truthful invectives aimed at the up-
holders of honesty, are acting directly
in the interests of the vicious. -Mo,rcr

PETTY'S ASININE IDEAS.

"a The most glaring sample of petty
grewism yet seen in the senate was
that displayed by the South Dakota
aunty during the speech by Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin. Pettigrew
charged that Fill Pine documents had
been manufactured by the Washington
government, and then unblushingly
declared that official reports were good
enough as evidence against the gov
eminent but not against the Filipinos.
This remark shows Pettigrew's un-
compromising hostility to the govern
ment, and shows him up in even a
worse light than ever.-Pioneer Press,

"lItIa VIRGINIA.

A taruy but gratifying recognition Of
Virginia has at last been made by the
national government in determining to
name a battleship after the mother of
States and statesmen. This battieship,
according to the eternal fitness of things,
should be OF the first magnitude, with
every known appliance Tor offensive and
defensive warfare. She, OF course. should
be built at Newport News, if the w. r.
Trigg Company is not then ready to take
the contract, ana when her launching
comes the people of Virginia Will see to
it that she has q good send off.
One thing, however. has been sanction
ed by custom, and a good custom it is,
that the people of the State after whom
a battleship or cruiser is named sha!
present to that ship service OF silver,
to be used on special occasions when the
ship, as representative Of the nation, en-
tertans distinguished foreigners. A
great deal of this is done by our officers
when in foreign ports, and we would
never be wiilin3 that the table OF ship
bearing the name of hospitabie Virginia
should be appointed with less elegance
than that of any other belonging to the
United States. The building Of the Viz
ginia'' furnishes an occasion for our
people to meet an obligation imposed by
custom, and we have no doubt that they
will do it cheerfully and handsomely.

unworthy class has been carried to such
an extreme degree as often to make it
an intolerable tyranny and eventually to
result in its own injury, If not destruc-
ton. There are certain principles which
cannot be violated by any one without
paying heavily for the breach, and among
these is the refusal to fellow-man Of

America undertook, in 1895, to give great
exposition, and enter the field that was
first opened by England with her great
Crystal Palace Exposition, and which
France had surpassed with the Paris Ex-
position OF 1851 The choice OK Chicago
furnished New York papers, especially the
Sun, with material for many and brilliant
gibes at tho Windy City. The Chicagoans,
feeling themselves somewhat new in this
venture, held their peace and went to
work, with tho result that they gave an
exhibition that has never been eGualled
and that we do not believe can be equalied
unless rival exposition bc held in some
city which has all the advantages that
Chicago derived from fronting on Lake
Michigan.
We neither desire to harm the French in
tleic --latest mercantile venture, nor to
yaingoriously boast OF what the Ameri-
cans did in 1885,, but judging from ali ac-
counts those who went to tho Chicago
Exposition and saw the Court OF Honor in
all OF its white radiance, with Lake Michi-
gar. blue as the Mediterranean. dancing
in the light beyond, have memories that
cannot be had from any of the sights now

appearances, be oyer-done before it is

rether to be rejected. there would have

with the then existing institutions Of

There can be no educational chain OF
mich value where the link of the secoI-s
dary school is missing. The new Const-5
tuition. Itself an imposition, imposed the
public free school system upon the people.
The men who made the Constitution were
not representative, nor was the Lestsia-5
ture which accepted and undertook to leg
is1a.te for the Inauguration OF the public
schools any more representative OF the
neop,e. It enacted a few crude, confused
laws. in some cases antagoniStic in them
selves. and then wisely turned the whole
business OF the schools over to the Board
Of Education. which had been created by
the Constitution. after having invested It
with almost imperial powers. am anS-
ious to bring out clearly the responsibility
OF the Board OF Education, because IN the
apers that follow am going to charge
that the public school system OF Virginia
has been fearfully nismanaged, fnan-
cia!y and otherwise, and that the Board
of Education is almost wholly responsible
for it. am fully aware that this is
grave charge. but after fifteen years OF
service as district school trustee and OF
two terms as county superintendent OF
schools, I think I know enough OF the al
fairs of the public school system to make
good the charges by proof. I wish TO say.
further. that in the past twelve or thirteen
years I have attempted repeatedly to eff
feet the reforms I thought needed In the
public school system by communications
submitted to the Superintendent of Public
instruction and the Board of Education,
as also by appearing before two or more
legislative committees upon schools.
Having failed in these attempts to effect
reforms from the inside. I made up my
mind to advise the public of the condition
of its public school affairs, and find my
self able to do so through the courtesy Of
the editor Of The Richmond Times.
The letter to the Board of Education,
through Governor Tyler here submitted,
is the last one OF several addressed to pre-
vious boards, and explains itself.
