learned Judge holding that, though the
show be of the kind professionally
known as rank the deluded ticket
holder is not entitled to manifest his re-
sentiment by kissing or other evidence
of disapproval. Few people will APP
prove this decision. 1t violates natural
justice and it conflicts with the innate
instinct of man to raise some kind Of a
disturbance when he finds that he has
been swindled. As we'll say that the
restaurant patron who finds tough beef
steak or dubious eggs set before him is
not entitled to offer few emphatic OBJ
servations to the entire establishment,
from the proprietor down to the dish
washer. OF course, it may be argued
that the theatergoer who has paid good
money to see bad performance has his
remedy at law-that he may sue for
and recover the amount that he paid for
his ticket. But even If this proceeding
were not tedious and expensive it
would still afford inadequate relief The
outraged patron of the drama is in
equity entitled to express his resent
ment of the imposition that has been
practiced upon him. He has right to
voice his Indignation so that it will be
heard of all men. No objection ever is
offered to the applause which greets
good plays and competent actors. Why,
then, should bad plays and incompetent
actors be exempt from the apprehension
which they have incurred by their I'M
worthiness? The question is one which
will not be finally settled by the pro-
nouncement Of judge. If merit is en-
titled to praise imposture deserves pub
lie rebuke. The bad actor is going to
hear sibilant testimony to his shortcom-
ings despite any decision that may be
formulated by the courts.

RheuIIl1tISII

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation Of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain

feels the effect Of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

RIDE FOR LIFE ENDS IN DEATH.
In the Presence of a Vast Crowd the
Trick Rider Dashes Down Steep
Incline Into Tank and In
stantly Killed.

New York. Dec. 8.-Josepn b
Starck, trick bicycle rider, grieying for
his beautiful sweetheart, whose funeral
he attended only few hours be-
fore, in his ride for life" dived to
death in tn armory of the Twenty
second regiment this afternoon.
For a moment after the thrilling
dive was accomplished, deadly silence
reigned in the great drill room, and
then as the enormous crowd began
to realize that something not on the
program had happened, there followed
a wild scene of confusion.
The Twenty second armory was
comfortably crowded for the matinee
of the fashioned Country Cir
cus,'' and on the bill was ride for
Life,' by Joseph B. Starck, described
as ride on bicycle down an incline
plane of 200 feet from the roof to the
center of the hall. and then a dive
from the bicycle to a tank of water
seventy-five feet below. The tank was
about fifteen feet square, containing
water three feet six inches deep.
Promptly at 4:30 o'clock Starch
climbed UP the ladder to the platform,
where his bicycle had already been
placed. There he stood for moment;
then, waving his hand to the assembly
below, leaped into the saddle, and
grasping the handle bars tightly,
seemed to shoot down the incline. The
spectators closely watching him, were
breathlessly silent. as they saw the
young athlete leave his wheel, with
hands clasped over his head, and shoot
through space in a direct line for the
tank. AS Starck's body shot into the
tank and the water splashed over it's
sides, there was a sigh of relief, fol-
lowed a second later by a scream, as
a sound was heard like the blow of
heavy body against hard substance.
Starck did not rise and rush was
made toward the tank. Roundsman
McNought realized that something had
happened and was first to look into
the water.
At the bottom was Starck's body.
There was no sign of life and Nc
Nought quickly climbed over the side,
and lifting the body passed it to those
who had gathered about the tank.
Starck had undoubtedly miscalculated
the distance and struck directly on
his head. The body was unmarked ex-
cept for slight bruise under the left
eye.
It was learned later that Starck
had just returned from his sweet
hearts funeral and his friends believe
his dive to death was Intentional.

some fame as a war correspondent. His
reputation as novelist depends large
ly upon his first successful book, The
Red Badge Of Courage, a story dealing
wholly with battle scenes. His descrip-
