Another Example.

Julia Morrison was an actress. She
shot and killed an actor in Chatta-
nOoga She was tried fer murder and
acquitted. After the trial she made a
dramatic speech in the court Ad-
dressing the jury she informed them
that she forgaye the prosecution bear
ing them no malice for their efforts to
secure her conviction which may have
been magnanimous. She said to the
family Of the victim that she would
restore the dead man if it were in her
power, and in conclusion she an
nounced that she would go on the lee
ture platform to point out to young
women the dangers of the stage.
Julia Morrison can best serve young
women by subsiding There never was
a time, and never will be, when the
young women of any country where
young women are allowed to use their
brains and to have fair moral training,
will need TO receive instruction from
the woman who has to her credit the
killing of man. There are influences
for good that know nothing of the
dangers of the stage, by which young
women may profit, without witnessing
shocking examples. There is enough
of human sympathy in the hearts of
men to extend a hand to the errant
ones who would return to the right
road OF life, but 1t is not necessary to
deliver up our young women to the
past masters OF offending that they
may know evil by contact with It.
The place for Julia Morrison and her
kind is on the stool of repentance

nation Of Woodruff In 1890. who was
then the head of the Mormon Church
that pclygamy was prohibited in that
faith from that time onward, and was
positively forbidden to be contracted
Whether the prohibition was retro
active, however, is not clearly known
to the country. The plural marriages
already contracted probably were not
intended to be disturbed by the church
authorities, but no new marriages of
that sort were to be entered into. The
remuneration of 1890 was received by
the country as sincere, and the hostll-
! ity to Mormonism relaxed. Political
parties in Utah divided up soon after
ward on lines prevailing In the rest OF
the country, though most of the Nor
mons appeared to belong to the Dem
ocratic party and most Of the non-Mor-
mons 20 the Republicans. AT all
events, on the pledge thus made in
1890 by the head OF the Mormon
Church, Utah was admitted as a state
in 1885, the condition as set forth in
its constitution, being that polygamy
should forever be prohibited in the
state.
Probably the present declaration by
the head of the Mormon church is in
tended to have scme effect in the Rob-
erts case. 1t is, of course, clear to the
Mormons that each branch of Congress
has a weapon by which it can hit
Utah If Utah violates its promise on
the question Of polygamy. BY halt
ing Utah's members at the door, as the
House has done in the Roberts case, it
can be punished for playing false to
the country If it does this. Here is a
way in which Utah can be forced to
respect it's pledges and place itself in
harmony with the rest of the country.
If the Mormon Church, as represent
ed by its official head, is dealing hon
estly with the country, Utah will hold
it's place of equality with the other
states. The majority of the people of
the country will be inclined to accept
the Snow proclamation as sincere, un-
less future events prove it to be the
contrary Nevertheless, the Roberts
case will be dealt with on its own mer-
its, apart from the promises and pro-
testations Of the hierarchy of which
he is a part.-Globe Democrat.

Another Mormon Concession.

The pronouncement which Lorenzo
Snow, the head of the Mormon church,
has just made against polygamy is of
great Importance to the country. That
official declares the Mormon Church
has positively abandoned the prac-
tice of polygamy or the solemnization
of plural marriages in this (Utah) and
every other state. and that no member
or officer thereof has any authority
whatever to perform a plural marriage
or enter into such relation. Nor does
the church advise or encourage unlaw-
full cohabftation on the part of any OF
dts members" Snow further pro-
claims that If any Mormon dlscobeys
the law on this point "he must bear his
own burden" and 'be answerable tc
the tribunals of the land for his owl
action pertaining thereto"
This deliverance will attract a gooC
deal of attention throughout the coun
try. It Is reafI1rmation of the procIa

"The Adventure OF Lady Ur-
sula."

Ever since Mr.. William Morris be-
came star he has enjoyed a series of
successes that have justly placed him
in the foremost ranks of his profession
but no success has been more gratify-
ing or substantial than that which he
is now enjoying in "The Adventure OF
Lady Ursula" which possesses the dis
tinction cf being Mr.. Anthony Hopes
first play. That this gifted writer has
more than done well can be easily seen
by the enormous business the company
Is doing throughout the country. The
audience invariably consists of the
highest cultured, enthusiastically ap-
plauding Mr.. Morris and his charming
companion, Miss Francis Drake. This
state of affairs will undoubtedly con-
tinue throughout the season, and the
play is mounted in the most elegant
style and is superbly acted by players
of merit.
Mr.. Morris realization of the char
dtltG Vi DlI OtOIBt 10 dNlhlll llblC' III
presents a perfect picture of gentle
man of the period of the last century
and the light and shade of the strong
emotions that sway him is admirable
in its delicacy. 1t is long transition
from the recluse who will not gaze up
on the face of a woman to an arient
suitor for young girls hand, but Mr.
Morris accomplishes this in a manner
both artistic and consistent.
Miss brakes assumption of the role
of Lady Ursula fits her perfectly and
exhibits her best qualities, as do the
clothes of her brother which in the
play she assumes, is undoubtedly one
of the best pieces of acting that the
present dramatic season has brought
forth, and it is so well done as to place
her on an equality with Mr.. Morris in
his stellar position. Mr.. Morris COM
pany and the production of the play
are up to the usual high standard that
he has always maintained
"Thh Adventure of Lady Ursula"
is by long odds Mr.. Hopes best effort
at play building, and will no doubt
rival his famous "Priscner of zenda.'

sent the play at the Auditorium next

The Black Walnut.

The great size often reached by this
tree, the richness OF the dark brown
wood, the unique beauty Of lhe grain
sometimes found in burls, knots, feath-
ers and in the curl of the roots, all
consplre to make this the most choice
and high-prieed of all our naGonal
woods.
Twenty-Five years ago the walnut
was extensively used in the manufac-
ture of fine furniture and finishings in
this country, but manufacturers ad-
roltly drew attention to the beauty of
darkly stained quartered oak, and the
use of the rarer wood has greatly de
clined. But all this time the search
for fine black walnut logs has gone on
Systematically. though quietly the
trade attracting little attention,
though the volume of lumber handled
has been large. Though found TO some
extent in the Atlantic states from Mas
sachusetts southwark, the great source
of supply has been the central portions
OF the Mississippi Valley. The walnut
is at home in the rich alluvial bottom
lands of the Western streams, and in
the stony limestone soils of the hills
and mountains, and in such localities
the buyers have left few trees unsur-
veyed. Throughout eastern Kansas,
Missouri and Arkansas, as we'll as the
states along the Ohio and its tributar-
les, may be seen a few logs at this lit
tie station, a car or two at that, with
carefully hewn sides and painted ends,
! ready for the market.
If you ask where this market is, you
will find that the great bulk of this
rare lumber goes to Europe
While we have been led into an en-
thusiastle admiration for fine oak,
stained according to the degree of an
tiquity it is supposed to represent, our
European cousins have been paying
fancy prices for the rich black walnut
that we have mowed to go "out of
fashion, "-BercaeQuarterly.

"The Royal Box. "
will soon begin.

The attraction for tonight will be
Charles Ccghlan's powerful drama,
The Royal Box" The play will be
presented by Andrew Robson and Miss
Gertrude Ccghlan with the original
supporting company that produced it
in New York last season. The elab-
crate scenery. costumes and effects
used during the long run in the metro
polls are carried by the company in
their entirety and it is promised that
the production will be in every respect
as complete and perfect in detail as
That which delighted eastern play go
ers
THE Royal Box" has been the at
traction at st. Louis during the past
week and created yeritable sensation
among the theatre goers OF that city.
Press and public have agreed in pro-
nOuncing it a drama of the highest
type, dainty and refined in conception,
direct and vigorous In action, intensely
interesting and thoroughly enjoyable.
strict touch of realism is given to
the fourth act by using one CT the reg
ular theatre boxes for the reception of
the Prince OF Wales ard his party.
Box No at the Auditorium will be
the royal box fer the night.
The play is founded on Alexander
Dumas famous play of "Kean," which
was produced in 1886 Since that time
"Kean" has had many presentations in
Europe, and about ten years ago was
played in this country by noted Ger
man tragedlan who made it a part of
his repertoire. Mr.. Charles Coghlan
took yhis old play as his inspiration in
writing "The Royal Box" He aband-
oned all but a mere skeleton of the
Dumas creation introduced new scenes
and situations, replacing all that he
took away with a masterful skill that
has ma3e his production a stronger
play than the original, and entirely re-
wrote the dialogue. The Dumas play
has fer its subjects English scenes and
English characters drawn from the
standpoint Of a French writer. Mr.
Coghlan localized the characters of the
originals which he retained, and drew
them from the standpoint Of an Eng
lish dramatist. AS a character study
THE Royal Box" is remarkably vivid
in its contrasts, each person being as
carefully developed as if he or she
were the star of the piece.
The scenes are all laid in London,
and the tine of action is the year 1910.
The principal characters in the story
are Clarence, the actor, the Prince Of
Wales, who afterwards became Regent
and Geo. ", important diplomats, la
dies Of the court, actors. constables
and mourtCJanks. The plot and the
story are very novel. The play Is
given the title from an incident in the
fourth act, where Clarence, while play
ing Romeo, In the balcony scene from
Romeo and juliet" denonnces the
Prince of Wales from the stage as ne
sits In the royal box.

from the mines today indicating that
few more miners had returned to work.
The miners officials are working hard to
induce the strikers to go back to work
and comply with the terms of the In

ton is so widespread, however, that a
general convention will likely he called
for next week and the strike either Off
cially declared on or off. AS it is now,
the strike is authorized and is simply
the strike is unauthorized and is simply
the run of mine standard and the day

Practically every manufacturer along
the Monongahela valley is in straits for
fuel. The Butte-Weld and Lap-Weld
departments of the National Tube
Works company Snd the Boston Iron &
Steel works at McKeesport employing
over 1000 men have already closed for
want OF coal. Strenuous efforts will be
made to adjust the strike within the
next day or two. If not successful,
many other mills in the vicinity of
Pittsburg are expected to be compelled
to temporarily suspend operations.
