A Letter. From A. w. Riordan.

The STAR was handed q communica-
ton from A. w. Riordan with the re-
Quest that it be published. It was in
the nature of a reply to the article de-
Tending Billy Morgan in last weeks

or, defensive aud had we space to spare
should gladly have published it in full.
OF course we should have preferred
that Archie adopt the same methods
of publication that he started out with,
for the STAR is not given over very
much to permitting the political oppo-
nents to the republican party to air
their grievances herein, and especially
while they have organs of their own.
But being given to understand that
Archie felt he was personally agrieved
and expected space'for replying herein,
we have quoted that part of his letter
which might have any claims whatever
for recognition in these columns. The
whole Of 1t and more will no doubt APP
pear n ;the columns of our contempor-
airy SO that it will not entirely hide its
light Under q bushel.
For the benefit Of Mr. Riosdsn, how.

Driven to the Last Ditch.

The Organizes have evidently taken
their last stand on the issue of slavery
and polygamy in the Sulu Islands, and
from Bryan himself down to Pettigrew
and the blind orator of Texas the
changes are rung daily ON the allega-
ton that the United States flag waves
over these twin relics of barbarism in
the Philippine archipelago.
The following from an open letter
from Acting Secretary of War Meikle-
john to Bryan, dated Washington, Oct.
8, 1900, ought to put II quietus on these
vile ISLANDERS against the adj
ministration:

of the Secretary of war to Major

A manager of an Illinois circuit
Of theatres commands large audi
ences every time he opens the
doors Of any Of his houses to a
performance. The people have
come to know that when per.
formance is gwen it is meritorious
and we'll worth the price Of adj
mission. His system is to let
company managers know that if
they are not up to the standard
the public will receive their money
back. None but those conscious
of having good shows dare play
his houses and, if rehearsal
shows him that company is bad,
he cancels them.
True he lost few dollars in the
beginning when he gave back ad-
mission money, but he has since
waxed rich because the amusement
seeking public patronize his house
generously because of the conf
dence they repose in him.
Sometime, it is to be hoped, that
Vinita people will have an oppor-
Iunity Of seeing shows of merit
The same as towns less rich than
his all around us.
The next show, maud Muller"
lowever, comes to us highly
recommended by the press OF Ok

AN AUDIENCE FOOLED.
Paid Money to See a Good Show
and They Saw Another Kind.

The local Opera house has giver
the amusement lovers of Vinita in
the recent past an "Ivy Leaf" and
"The Westons." 1t was thought
that in those shows the acme of ali
that is synonomous Of BAD,
spelled with capital letters, was
reached. The alleged show last
night was even WORSE or
"WORSER" as the word was used
on the stage.
The Ivy Leaf and The Westons,
although they did not anywhere
come near giving amusement suf-
ficient to equal in worth halt the
admission fee, had some redeeming
features. The show last night had
nothing to commend it beyond the
pale of boorish amateurness if we
except the dancing by a local gen.
tleman and the serpentine dance by
a woman of the company.
In this latter the lady showed
herself clever, but with the absence
OF the yeri.colored lights that are
usually cast upon herto lend effect
to the picture she presents, the
turn fell fiat.
After the Westons showed on
their first night that they were
poor indeed, as performers, the in
vitation to the public was continued
throughout the week, and court
visitors and some hons people
continued to pay their money upon
an advertised promise that it was
a good show when it was not.
A rehearsal of last nights per-
formance must have acquainted all
connected with the show with the
fact that it was simply the consum.
nation Of an ambition to be an /,
''actress" conceived in the kitchen
and given birth when wages enough
had been saved to pay fare to the
first house that would book the
hastily organized aggregation.
Yet it was permitted to 60 on.

VITAL STATISTICS.
Some Interesting Figures Compiled by
Secretary Young.

Augusta, July 17-Dr. A. G. Young,
registrar of vital statistics of Maine, has
made his seventh annual report.
This report gives the results obtained
in the registration and tabulation of the
births, marriages, divorces and deaths
which occurred in the State OF Maine
during the year 1898.
The number Of births registered in the
year 1898 is 21 smaller than in the preced-
ing year.
The number of couples married in 1898
was 5144 number 1856 smaller than in
the preceding year.
The number of deaths recorded in the
state for the same year was 10, 956, a num-
Der $50 smaller than that in the preceding
year.
A note worthy and uninterrupted di-
minution of the number of deaths from
pulmonary tuberculosis, or consumption
has been going on this in this state ever
since the registration of vital statistics
was begun. The death rate from con-
sumption per 10, 600 of population, accord
ing to the census enumeration in 1890 has
been reduced from 2O.45 in 1892 to 1914 in
1898. If the rate were based upon the
actual but unknown population, the
showing would be still more favorable.
The marriage rate was higher in Aroos-
took county than elsewhere in the state,
it sbeing for that county 1864 per 1OO0
The lowest marriage rate, that of 1920
per one thousand, was in York county.
OF the 5O9S records of marriage in
which there was a statement of birth
place, in "a per cent the groom and bride
were both American; in ten per cent both
were of foreign birth; in seven per cent
the groom was American and the bride of
foreign birth; while in nine per cent a
foreign groom and American bride were
united.
The largest number of marriages, 571,
was solemnizsd in June, while the small
est number in any month, 1913, occurred
in February.
The largest number, both of grooms
and brides, was between 30 and 25 years
of age While still under is years of age,
brides were married; from 6O-7O, % men
and AZ women from 70-80, 30 men and
W1A1OAA9 ONOA NOea~ 4AACAs
In 1895 marriages the groom was older
than the bride; while in 749, the bride
was the elder; 741 widowers and 551
widows were remarked; 189 men and 249
women were remarked after having been
divorced from former marriage.
The oldest groom was SO years of age
and the Oldest bride was N. In two mar
riages the bride was only 10, and in four
only IA years old. In one case where the
bride was only 28 years of age, it was her
third marriage.
Seven hundred ana sixty-four divorces
were decreed in the year 1898. In 1898
there was decreed in Maine one divorce
for every 81 marriages solemnized.
Some of the cases for which divorces
were granted are: Adultery, 81 or 11.9
per cent OF the whole numbers extreme
