Even to the chronic theatre goers OF
long experience, 1t may be surprise to
learn that one of the very Oldest actors
in point of service, still before the pub
lei, Is Mr.. stuart Robson. Long associa-
ton with youthful:roles,s land the fresh
ness and vigor..of his portrayals make 1t
difficult for us to realize that his public
career extends over nearly half CEN
fury. Yet in the July number Of Every
bodys Magazine appears the first INSTALL
ment OF series of articles by MIR. Rob
son in the nature of an autobiography /,
and entitled The Memories Of Fifty
Years. These are articles that will In
terest, not only theatrical people, and
people who are Interested in theatrical
matters, but also everyone who likes
good ory-telling, new glinpses Of his

A BUFFALO DUEL.

In his concluding paper on 1.-The Ma
tional Zoo at Washington, in the May
Century, Ernest Seton Thompson de-
scribes a duel between two buffalo bulls.
The buffalo herd had so far reverted to
the native state that the old bull ruled
for several years, much as he would have
done on the plains. He was what the
keeper called mot bad boss" that Is,
he was not malicious in his tyranny.
One of the younger bulls ma lie an at
tempt to resist him once and had to be
punished. The youngster never forgot or
forgave this, and "A year or so later, feel
ing himself growing in strength, he de-
cided to risk 1t again He advanced to-
ward the leader, John L." and shook
his head up and down two or three times,
in the style recog nized among buffalo as
a challenge.
The big fellow was surprised, no
doubt He gave warning shake, but
the other would not take warming. Both
charged But, TO the old bulls amaze
ment, the young one did not go down.
What he lacked In weight he more than
made up In agility. Both went at 1t
again, now desperately. After two or
three of these terrific shocks the old one
realized that he had not his old-time
strength and wind. As they pushed and
parried, the young bull managed to get
under the other, and with tremendous
heave actually pitched the huge body up
into the air and dashed 1t down the hill
side.
Three times the old bull was thus
thrown before he would yield, and then
he sought to save his life by flight. But
they were not now on the open plains;
the pen was limited, and the victor was
of most ferocious temper. The keepers
did what they could, but stout ropes
and fences interposed were no better than
straws. The old bull body was at last
left on the ground with 60 gashes, and
his son reigned In his stead. This is one
Of the melancholy sides Of animal life
the weak to the wall, the aged downed
by the young. 1t has happened millions
of times on the plains, but perhaps was
never before so exactly rendered for hui
man eyes to see.

SALISBURY'S VIEW OF MIS-
SIONS.
British Premier's Address 90 Society for
Propagate. OF Religion.

Lon ion, June 1e.-In an address at the
Bicentenary meeting Of the Society for
the Propagation OF the Gospel today
were unpopular with the foreign office,
which would probably consider him q
deserter because he appeared on their
platform today. After paying warm
tribut 10 the soolety's work the Premier
said that martyrdom Of the missionary
In the olden times had little effect upon
the people whom they addressed or from
whom they were sent. Nowadays mar.
tyriom would result in an appeal TO the
consul.
Though neither the missionaries nor
the government were blameworthy, this
had diminished the purely spiritual aspect
of Christian teaching. They had
proverb In the East, Lord salisbury said.
which was to this effect: First comes
the missionary, then the consul, AMI
then the General As matter OF fact,
he said, that had too often been the case.
Tney could not hide from themselves that
IL was great hindrance In missionary
work to have secular results Of Christian
teaching. The Christian faith and the
Christian cross did not shine upon the
people of the world with the unbleinished
splen Tor with which 1t shone In olaeh
times.
He told his hearers that they must MT
imagine that all the people slaughtered
by the Chinese had been murdered simply
because the Chinese disliked their relig-
ion. There was no nation 50 Indifferent
to religion, Lord Salisbury declared, as
China IL was because that country and
.,th aru had erof the ideu That missionary
work was q mere instrument OF secular
government. in order TO achieve oertain
objects which the government mas In
view. That, he said, was Il most danger
Gus and terrible snare. lt was not neoes-
sary for him to say that this idea was ut-
terly erroneous, but he would urge
caution and prudence within the dual
limits OF devotion and enthnsia sm.
Caution and prudence were duties OF
missionaries in foreign lands. Ihey
should not only remember that they were
preaching the gospel, but that they We're
also representing the people from whoni
they came. In the present days II mas
sionary zeal led to martyrtom he would
at least incur this danger--he would ex-
pose the lives Of those to whom he was
preaching and, what was much worst,
cause the shedding Of the blood OF his
oountrymen In order to ayenge similar
and worse outrages.
bishops Doane OF Albany and Dudley
of Kentucky were present at the meet
ing. The former presented addresses in
behalf OF the Gneral Missionary society
of the American church, and the dio ,ese
of New Jersey which the Archbishop OF
Canterbury acknowledged. He begged
those who sent the addresses in question
to believe that it went to his heart to
find there was sympathy with the society
for the propagation of the gospel on the
other side OF the Atlantic. The English
church, he added, WAS always ready TO
acknowledge the beauty and excellence OF
the church Of the United States and felt
that In this work both were working side
by side.

LETTERS BURNED.
(Princeton Alumni Weekly.)

A historical crime was unwittingly
committed in Princeton the other day,
and it almost seems wrong to tell about
1t when one considers how 1t will affect
antiquarian feelings. An old desk from
the former Bonaparte house in Borden
town recently found its way to Princeton
through dealer In old furniture. Ex-
cept for It's association, 1t was not very
good from the point Of view of an old
furniture lover, being of mongrel shape
and unclassical lines. However, it came
into the possession of a local dealer who
proceeded to overhaul and restore 1t, and
In doing so he accidentally touched the
inevitable secret spring. and before him
stood carefully bound package Of dusty
letters, which he burned up because writ
ten in French. He is German, 1t Is said.
Now as these papers were written or re-
ceived in that historic house, with its
subterranean passages leading to the Della
ware river and other interesting settings,
and were deposited In secret drawer, 1t
is hardly possible that they could not
have contained stuff of vital Interest and
value concerning an episode which also
has not yet been overworked by the his
torical story writsrs. He burned them,
and before his shop at least six times
every day pass at least six professors who

Mr.. Quay's resolution looking to a
change in the basis OF representation In
Republican National conventions was,
for some reason not clearly apparent,
withdrawn yesterday. and no action was
taken. 1t Is to be regretted that Mr..
Quay did not persevere. The representa-
ton which the South gets is absurdly out
of proportion to the Republican voters In
that section. About all the contests IN
past conventions have grown out of 1t.
When there is "a contest the delegates
from that section, or at least many Of
them are simply on their make, and their
votes are given to the man or faction that
makes the biggest promises. The voters
who must be depended upon to elect a
ticket ought to have the chief voice in
determining its make up, but as long as
the basis of representation is as now
states which can furnish no votes will
continue to have as much voting power
in the convention as states that give the
ticket a majority of its vote.

conceded long since. His administration
had won the confidence OF the great ma
jcrity OF the Republicans. and there has
never been any well defined movement
30 present any other candidate. The
nomination OF ROOSEVELT for Woe presi-
dent was not expected up 10 the time Of
the meeting of the convention. 1t was
clear enough that there was q very strong
sentiment throughout the country In
positive refusals had, 10 was supposed,
practically taken him out Of the list of
available candidates. The convention
had hardly opened. however, before the
demand for Roosevelt appeared. 1t soon
swelled into great torrent which Meth
or the leaders who preferred some other
candidate, or Mr.. Roosevelt himself, who
without doubt was averse to being nomi-
mated, could stem. It Is probably true
that certain Politicians famed the en-
thusiasm for their own selfish purposes,
but 1t Is equally true that Roosevelt's
nomination Is due not to their maohina
tions, but to the spontaneous demand Of
the people in all sections of the country
II ever man was the popular choice
Roosevelt Is that man.
The Republican campaign will open
under the most favorable auspices. The
ticket will not only arouse the enthusiasm
Of the Republican masses, but IL Will
commend itself to their sober judgment.
The platform has judiciously avoided be-
ing too insistent upon points ON which
there Is not complete accord. Wisely those
principles and policies upon which all
Republicans agree have been pushed to
the front. The campaign will he one
largely of principles and policies, and
that Is as 1t ought to be.

MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT,

Such thing as a nomination of both
candidates by reclamation has never hap
Dened before yesterday In a Republican
national convention. Only very few
times has either candidate been nominal
ed in that way. At the first national
convention informal ballots were taken
for both President and Vice President,
and the men who led, John G. Fremont
and William l.. Dayton, were then
nominated unanimously. In the Repub-
lican convention of 1860 there were three
ballots for President before Mr.. Lincoln
was nominated, and two for vice .presi-
dent before Mr.. Hamlin got a majority.
Four ye ars later one ballot was taken,
Mr.. Lincoln receiving all the votes cast
except those from Missouri, which were
thrown for us Grant. There was only one
ballot for vice president, but Mr.. John
son did not receive all the votes. Four
years later Grant secured every vote Of
the convention on the first ballot, but five
ballots We're taken before Mr.. Colfax was
nominated for vice president. In 1872
General Grant was renominated by &C
clamation, but there was a stiff fight
over the vice presidency, Mr.. Henry Will
son OF Massachusetts, finally obtaining the
nomination. In 1876 there was long
fight over the presidency Rutherford b.
Hayes being nominated after repeated
ballotings. William A. Wheeler of
Vermont was not nominated for vice
president without some opposition. The
convention OF 1880 witnessed one OF the
most notable contests which has ever
taken place In Republican convention,
in which both the leading candidates,
Blaine an Grant. were defeated, and
James A. Garfield OF Ohio nominated.
Arthur was nominated for vice president
on the first ballot, but far from unani-
mously. In 1884 Blaine was nominated
on the fourth ballot. John A. Logan was
nominated for vice president with practi-
cal unanimity, though Lucius Fairchild
of Wisconsin and Walter q. Gresham of
Indiana got few scattering votes. 1t
required eight ballots to nominate Har-
rison for the presidency in 1888, and
though Levi p. Morton was nominated
for vice president on the first ballot about
$50 votes were thrown against him. Har
rison was renominated in 1929 on the
first ballot, but over 300 votes were cast
for other candidates. At this convention
for the first time in the history Of the
party vice president was nominated by
aoolamation, that honor falling to the
Hon. Whitelaw Reid or New York. Four
years later William Mckinley won on
the first ballot, but not without some
opposition. 1t took but one ballot to
select Garret A. Hobart for vice presi
dent. but he lacked over 800 OF unAni-
NOUS nomination. Never until yesterday
have both candidates been put In ::nomi-
aation without dissenting voics.

All that Is wanted. Is an agreement be-

Already the enterprising Muscovite has

Afghan territory. kushk, an Afghan
frontier town, is practically in Russian

That is the situation on Afghanistan'

BY the Straits Of Gibraltar AMI the
Suez canal the distance Is &, 800 miles, and
the time occupied by the fastest Peninsu-

By the land route, allowing the aver
age approximate speed to be twenty five
miles an hour by the express trains, the
journey would occupy only eleven days
four hours over distance approximately
estimated at 9, 100 English miles. But
twenty five miles an hour is low esti-
mate. This speed is ON the average oon-
siderably exceeded even on Asiatic rail-
ways, and of course doubled on European
lines. Two changes OF cars would b.
necessary ON the journey from Calais-at

more hopeful character. Apparently there
have been no serious outrages perpetrated
upon foreigners In Picking, ana the mis-
sionaries scattered through the country
are evidently in less danger than was
feared. The summoning of Ii Hung
Chang to Pekin probably presages some
attempt on the part of the government
to put down the Instruction and restore

1t is pity the Republican convention
did not go farther In the matter OF the
suppression of the colored vote at the
South To denounce 1t Is we'll, but to
declare in favor Of some action in regard
to 1t would have been better. Probably
there is no way by which the Republican
party can prevent the disfranchisement
of the negro, but there is way by which
1t can compel the South to accept the
constitutional consequences OF that dis
ranchisement,-the reduction of it's rep
resentation in Congress and in the cleo
toral college. The tremendous unfair
ness of one voter at the South exercising
twice the political influence Of voter at
the North ought not to be tolerated any
longer.
