bon's Decline and Fall Of the Roman
Empire" chapter I:
1t was on the dignity of the senate that
augustus amt his successors founded
their new empire. In the administration
of their own powers they frequently con-
suited the great national council and
seemed to refer 20 its decision the mOsr
important concerns of peace and MAR.
Rome, Italy and the internal provinces
were subject to the immediate iurisdic-
ton of the senate.
Every power was derived from their
(the senate's) authority, every law was
ratified by their sanction. The debates

final protest against the passage of the
Porto Rican bill: This colonial

a despotism, and it will be none the

'Quo Vadis'' at the Grand last night
was one of the greatest surprises OF the
season. When the announcement was
made that this play would be done at MI
Mulvey's theatre people smiled and shrug-
ged their shoulders. They could not quite
make up their minds what a popular
priced production of it would be like. as
the dignity of the story is such as TO for
bid burlesque. However, curiosity took
them to the theatre in such numbers as
to test the capacity of the house, and af-
ter the performance began il was not long
before SkepticiSm gave way to wonder,
and then TO enthusiasm The scenery
quite surpassed expectation and the burn
ing of Rome was well executed The chief
lack of scenic display was noticed in the
festival scene, where the few persons on
the stage could in no way do justice to
the descriptions in the novel, but so much
cannot be expected at the price of admis-
sion. The part of the story used for the
play is that of Vinicius' love for Lygia
and his conversion to Christianity
through this love Petronius might be
called the central figure of the dramatiza-
chosen from the book. Nero is represent
ed as the coarse, brutal self-centered
wretch, susceptible only to fattery
through which he is made the mere tool
characters of the novel which are intro
duced are POppaea, Eunice.- Chic, Tigel-
linus, Glaucus, Arsus and Pomponia. The
story is one of SURPRISING interest and
play again and again without firing of IT,
The subject is one of the most dramatic
which has ever been known to the stage
and it must indeed be poor playwright
and a poor company that cannot make an
impression with such material.
The cast presenting Quo Vadis'' is
good throughout. Mr.. G. II. Robertson is
an excellent Vinicius, and Lewis Suther-
land is seend TO good advantage in the
grateful part of Petronius. Nero was well
handled by V. L Love, who brought out
the sinister shadows of the character, as
well as its weaknesses. Mr.. Alger treated

POLITICS IN PUBLIC SERVICE

1t is evident most of the Republicans
in the city council are determined to
sacrifice the municipal welfare if nee
essary to reward few of the heelers
who are bowling for place in return
for alleged services rendered the party
in power. Fortunately for the city,
some Of the Republicans have held out
so far against the demand of the pie
hunters and have insisted on retaining
the experienced men in some depart
nents, regar dless of ward politics.
These councilmen show business
sense. and they can count on the sup
port Of the public regardless of poll
tics. in a course that places cOmpe-
tence before anything else in the choice
of public servants. 1t is good politics
as we'll as good business to insist on

1. 1t advisable that the study should be
carried on by two or three in a circle. Words
and sentences must first be read slowly and
carefully. Try to make as much use of the
pronunciation given as possible. Make the
foreign intonation clearly and naturally.
:. The information of the French is quite
different from the English. It has a pecu-
liar accent at the end of every word and
phrase. 1t is part of the language, a part
OF the culture of voice; il has certain
sweetness in it, and we do not say it discour-
aglngiy, but as matter of experience, that
very few Americans ever can achieve the
full, perfect pronunciation. Therefore, our
advice to students is try TO pronounce as
correctly as you can and make yourself IN
derstood as well as possible, improving by
degrees, according to the amount of kEowl-
edge you have of the language.
8. Although these lessons and sentences
may seem to be somewhat irregular and dis
connected, we have made them so intention
ally, our aim being to keep up the interest
OF our students. At the same time we give
only such sentences and phrases as will be
required by those who expect to put them to
practical use. 1t will be observed, how
ever, that each lesson has a certain aim and
purpose and also that we try as much as pos
sible to refresh the minds of students by re-
peatlng combinations and words Of which
the learner mas already a knowledge, thus
