Faust Again.

No play ever In our city has met
with such universal approval as this
grand master piece of Goethe, the
German Shakespeare; no better pore
trayal OF that weird Satanic Mephist6
with the grandest electrical and me-

Faust production In this city. This

company that absolutely carries afull
choir for the cathedral scene, the same

from the Church Of the Transhgura-

Free Press of recent date says that the
beautiful rendition Of the Drinking
Chorus in the grand opera, Faust, by
Mr.. Whites magnificent quartette,
was the most impressive Of anything
ever heard of that nature in Detroit.

On the Lean Pork.

''A Night in Chinatown" was strict
ly on the lean pork with the exception
of a first class specially or two. 1t
might meet the approval of some back
woods hamlet, but it certainly takes
nerve for such a weakling to show be-
fore a ClarkSburg audience. Several
ladies with their escorts left in the
middle of the performance in disgust.
1t was rather bad taste TO have a lady
there anyway, although there was
nothing, technically speaking, very
harmful.

EFT tn BRUTE.

Mr.. Sewell, who was the candidate for Vice
President on the BRYAN ticket in 1895 and who
Observation-Disclosures 10 stand in the same relation
to him that Brutus did to Caesar, the King,
has Just returned from the far east, speholpg
some time in the Philippines. In an interview at
San FRANCISCO on his return he expresses hmsen
as follows:
~ have always favored the acquisition OF the
Philippines. after the Paris treaty. The United
States should stand by the administration in all
that is being done to hold the Philippines; they
are worth retaining. MIR. Mckinley will be re-
nominated and reelected. Mr.. Bryan, too, Will be
renominated but fear that he cannot win the
goal. The fact is that the country has been TOO
prosperous to warrant any hope OF change In the
national administration, and people are slow to
take up reform measures when times are as good
as they are AZ present am not candidate Tor
the VicePresidency again. believe it is poor
policy on thepar of the Democracy to select any
candidate from the east where no electoral votes
NAV be expected, and am not ambitious to make
the race again.
Thus, it will be seen that the views OF another
democrat Of prominence do accord with those oft
repeated and probably proclaimed by The measiee
politician of the new school. With the former all
the rank rantabout imperialism does not OBTAIN.
But to fill Bryans cup of bitterness to the
overflow Joseph Slbley. of Pennsylvania, who four
years ago, was prominently mentioned for second
place on the Bryan ticket has also repudiated
some of the pet theories proclaimed as the true
democratic principles of modern times. In Con-
gress and out Of it he has declared himself opposed
to the idea OF abandoning any of our newest ter
ritorial acquisitions especially the Philippines In
fact, as is apparent from his avowed convictions,
he has practically proclaimed himself in accord
with republican policies; and moreover has con-
cluded to accept the republican nomination for
Congress in the district now represented by him
and by which he was elected as a democrat. Thus
one by one in rapid succession Bryan's former
are falling in the hands OF the
enemy and giving occasion his part for the
historical exclamation of Caesar to his former
faithful friend Brutus.

The Telegram mas read with pleasure two
letters from John M Burke. the son of William
Burke OF this city, one dated at Manila, F. l., De-
cember a. $780, addressed to his sister; the other
dated at San Pedro Macati, Dec %. 1899, ad
dressed to his father, both of which very inter
esting not only because written by Clarksburg
boy, but also because of the important facts de-
tailed in theletters, and especially descriptonin
the former of an old Spanish barrack, whose erec-
ton no doubt dates back many centuries and whose
equipments are of as ancient.
In the second of the letters he has given
graphic description of the killing of Maj. Gen.
Lawton whose death is SO universally deplored,
and which occurred but few days before the
last letter was written He hopes to return to the
States as this country seems to be known In the
East, by July next, as he seems to think that by
that time there will be no necessity for the con-
tinuance of somany American soldiers there, es
pecially as according to his opinion the war now
seems practically ended, except upon the part of
certain oanditt injecting certain parts of the is
lands. When the last letter was written he had had
his first taste Of actuawar experience having been
en- gagged in one battle, which whetted his appetite
for more as he expressed himself much pleased
with his first encounter. Both letters are highly
interesting His family naturally take great in
terest in his welfare.

The Beers are doing what they can in
the guerrilla line and may be trusted
to keep IL up indefinitely. Guerrilla
warfare is the one refuge of a people
overborne by numbers and is not in
frequently a successful refuge, as wit
ness the manner in which the Catalan
peasantry harassed Napoleon out of
Spain and the way Aguinaldo and his
ragged following are resisting the pow
er of the United States. Where noun
tains predominant as in the upper
Transvaal and where each guerrilla is
a marksman, closely familiar with the
country, fifty thousand men can be
kept running hither and yon trying to
guard threatened points, by an active
body Of one thousand. So 1t cannot be
reasonably said that the Boer cause is
yet lost. The fighting remnant may
hang on until some general European
war involves Great Britain, whereupon
another national uprising of the Beers
might easily occur

INVESTIGATE THE LIBEL.

Attorney Kinney demands, with en-
tire propriety, that the charges of past
collision between judges and lawyers
who are still in the intimate relations
of bench and bar be investigated by
the Grand Jury. While the charges
are absurd and defamatory on their
face the fact that the paper making
them is merely Judge Humphreys in
disguise warrants the action which
Mr. Kinney calls for and which the
Bar Association ought to demand with
a united voice. 1t is due the judicial
and legal establishment of Hawaii that
it's record be wiped clean of the mud
with which a political Judge, intent, as
it would appear, upon base factional
object, has defiled ii.

BUSINESS IN THE EMPIRE.

The Chicago Post has an intelligent
discussion of the new markets which
McKinley's so-called imperialism"
has opened up for American products.
1t says:
Manufacturers and mechanics will
turn deaf ears to the TRADES of abuse
which are being directed toward the
president and his advisers for the
policy they have pursued regarding
the requirement of additional territory
in the tropics and in the Orient. while
they find that the effect of the adop-
ton of that policy is to bring prosper
ity and enrichment to themselves. OF
course allegations of seIfishness and
sordidness will be made, but after all
is said and done the greater part of the
American people is practical in the ex-
IRENE, and will judge of the wisdom
and success of any policy OF state by
the practical results thereof, so far as
these come under individual observa-
ton or have a personal effect.
Judged by this standard, the So
called expansionist policy has nothing
to fear at the hands of the American
people. Since the announcement has
been officially made that the insurrec-
ton in Manila is virtually at an end,
Investigations started by American
manufacturers have led them to the
conclusion that wide and most desir
able field has been thrown open to their
enterprise, and is now waiting to be
occupied and worked to the .betterment
of all engaged in it. Reports forwarded
by those vitality interested show that
the inhabitants of the Philippines are
ready and anxious to discard their
former Anticipated methods of manu-
facture and of labor and to adopt the
most modern and improved that are
brought to their notice. The investiga-
tors have been gratfied by the alacrity
with which the Filipinos adopt new
and Western ideas and amazed at their
financial means to supply themselves
with the improvements brought to
their attention. There is much wealth
in the islands, and a marked willing
ness on the part of it's owners to in
crease 1t by the adoption of new and
improved methods of operation.
"A great and increasing demand has
sprung up in the new possessions for
modern machinery. Sugar mill own
ers, for example, find that somebody
has procured improved machinery for
extracting the syrup from sugar cane
and for purifying it and Transforming
it into refined sugar, and they are Wy
ing with other to see which one can be
second in the race In securing a dupli-
cation of the improved plant. Steam
is being substituted for water power
because in the dry season the water
supply is uncertain, occasionally stop
ping all work. There is a great demand
for sewing machines, and it is reported
that any number of them could be sold
today if they were on the ground.
There Is even vociferous cry for bicy-
cles. The first introduction there ere
ated quite sensation, and now every
body having the money wants to Sc
cure wheel. Typewriters are in de-
mand, also printing presses, and all
other kinds of machinery.

The Arkansas Unit.

When James Coogan. president of the
borough of Manhattan, was at the

Kansas City, he was accosted by a

off to mop his forehead, cost me

the Arkansas man, 'seven pounds of
what? Tobacco?" Mr.. Coogan says it
took him an hour to initiate his inter-
locutor into the mysteries of English
finance.

Killing Snakes by the Mile.

Il was running on road in South
western Pennsylvania" said an old en-
gineer to a Philadelphia reporter,
when L killed two miles of snakes in
three minutes. 1t had been a wet and
cold spring and the same weather con-
ditions had existed to about the middle
of May, and it seems that all the snakes
in that part of the country had started
to emigrate, and as the rails had be-
come warm under the heat of the sun
the reptiles naturally enough found the
glittering steel a smooth and comfort
able highway. and they just coupled up,
one taking hold the others tail, and
started down the track. 1 happened to
be coming along and we We're making
twenty-five miles an hour when We met
the procession. My fireman saw the
varmints first, and he completely col
lapsed, but when l perceived what we
were up against l pulled the throttle
wide open, let the sand drop and
smashed two miles of snakes in less
than three minutes.

The Coming Vehicle.

Il expect to live to see the day when
horses will not be allowed on the down
town streets of New York." said a
man from that city the other day. The
speaker is a manufacturer of automo-
biles. During the past year in the
neighborhood of 500 automobiles have
been manufactured in this country, and
another 300 or 400 of foreign make have
been imported. You must bear in mind
that American automobile manufacture
is only in its infancy. Next year 1000
or 5000 vehicles will be manufactured
and placed on the market. The demand
will far exceed the output. If had 5000
heavy trucks i could sell them all dur
ing the next twelve months, and would
not have to exert myself in doing it
Although present appearances would
not indicate it, the automobile manu-
facturer bases his hope for the future
on auto-trucks instead of pleasure We
hicles.''

TWO KINDS OF REPUBLICAN.

The Bulletin, which passed most of
its active career in opposition to Am
ericanism in Hawaii, now assumes that
the Advertiser cannot be Republican
unless it falls in behind Mr.. Sewall of
Maine or New York or whatever the
place may be which holds his residence,
and assists the political bunco game
which that wayfarer is now playing
for his own benefit. Upon this point a
few words:
If being Republican" were to take
orders from any carpet Dagger there
are few Americans in these Islands
who would care to call themselves by
that name. Mr.. Sewall was born and
brought up a Democrat and would be
one yet except that he was removed
from a Democratic office by Cleveland
and then Joined the Republican party
for revenge. That Mr.. Sewall is Re-
publican National Committeeman for
Hawaii is the result of sharp practice
at Philadelphia and is the more objec-
tionable because he has not the re-
hottest idea of staying here providing
he can get a diplomatic job after cleo
ton. What Sewall wants TO do is to
use Hawaii as a stalking horse for Of
flee and then, If he succeeds, to turn
the local party out to Craze in barren
pastures. In the meantime he would
like to exclude everybody from the Re
publican fellowship to whom he is OBJ
jectionable. not realizing that they
comprise seven-eighths of the party.
The Advertisers standard of Repub-
licanism was set by Lincoln and Gar
field and Blaine, not by renegades from
the Democracy who try to work the
Republican party to get something for
themselves after their own party has
denied IL to them.

Where Bees Are a Nuisance.

The honey producing industry of
Evansville, Ind, has reached such a
magnitude that the city council is con-

bees nuisance and requiring the own
ers of hives to move them outside the
city limits. 1t is said that seventy-five
persons have colonies of bees in the
city, and the bees produce $4,000 worth
of honey year. Persons who want the
bees taken out ask that it be done by
September 1. The bee owners have en-
gagged lawyer, who has represented to
the city council that there is not city
in the States that forbids people to
have beehives.
