Hoyt's Day and a Night Not So
Pleasing as His Other Plays.

Charles H. Hoyt, writer of farces--
poor Charlie Hoyt," as he is feellnsiy
referred to since he was adjudged of I'M
sound mind and placed under the care
of brain specialists, has been accused,
in the writing of his latest success, "A
Day and a Night to have attempted to
see lust how near he could approach the
brink of improperly on the stage with
out offending refined taste That he
chung to the brink tenaciOusly, all those
who have seen the farce can vouch, and
there is good ground for argument on
the question of his having overstepped
the dividing line at times "A Stranger
in New York. the farce that Immediate
ly preceded "A Day and Night" is de-
cidedly -'racy,' but the latter goes it one
better, and had Mr.. Hoyt retained his
mental faculties it is impossible to say
what might have been the result "A
Dog in the Manager" proved hopeless
failure, the first at the door of the play
wright, because the mind that construct
ed it was able only to supply the gross
material without the curtain of wit and
cleverness that characterized its earlier
efforts.
"A Day and a Night is farcical story
of the making of a sport and as this
fact is developed early in the piece. what
follows does not surprise an audience A
father plots with friend to corrupt the
supposed morals of his son with the
view of making him a man of the
world and as Mr.. Hoyt's shafts are
leveled at hypocrisy it develops that the
son has made himself behind the
screen of the church. The church and
marriage relations have been continuous
recipients Of the playwright's satire for
several years, and it is only reasonable
that he selected the church as the one
thing to aptly illustrate his ideas.
The company seen in the farce at the
Crawford theater last night is not equal
TO the original company here with it in
March, 1899. The loss OF Otis Harlan as
the sanctimonious son and big Bill"
Devere as the Commodore is pronounced,
although Mr.. VIII H. Halter and Mr..
Tom Martin make the parts satisfactory.
The female portion of the original COM
pany was out of the ordinary, combining
pretty faces with unusual vaudeville
talent, and in this respect the present
company is sadly inferior. Not one of
the six young ladies now engaged can
lay even a modest claim to beauty.
Miss Cora Isham deserves particular
mention among the number for her
songs. She has a pleasing and well
trained soprano voice, and was recalled
several times. She has the place filled
by Miss Florence ZELDA, who found much
favor with Topeka audience, in the or
iginal company.
The audience that saw the farce last
night was large enough to I'LL the the
alter.

BRITISHERS COMPLAIN.
Want Vessels That Can Compete
With Speedy German Steamers.

London, Sept. 1.-THE remarkable
run of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. line
steamship Deutschland is exciting un-
usual interest in England, and there is
much complaint because British vessels
are thus distanced in the speed compe-
titiOn.
The Daily Chronicle points out the
danger that in time of war British
trade would be at the mercy of such
swift commerce destroyers, and says
that the government and nation must
look to it
The Cunard line manager when inter-
viewed yesterday said:
There is no doubt that Germany is
alive to the value of such fast vessels
in the event of war, and the benevolent
attitude of the German government has
been largely instrumental In stimulating
their production. 1t is all question of
cost. Experience has proved that there
is no f1nality in speed development. The
Cunard line has its eyes fully open to
the situation"

HIBERNIANS IN SESSION.
Will Make Radical Change in the
Ritual

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE national
officers and directors of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians, who have been in ses-
sion in this city for the past three days,
have adopted a resolution Of sympathy
for the Texas hurricane sufferers, a
copy of which was sent to the mayor of
Galveston. The consideration Of rituals
tic work took up a part of the session,
and an agreement was reached by which
a radical change in the ritual will be
made. In view of the expected publica-
ton by December 1 of an official organ,
it was decided to publish therein the list
of newly elected state, county and divis-
ion officers. Means were devised for the
spread of the society in a number of the
southern and western states, and in
teresting reports were received as to the
growth throughout the country of the
study of Irish history and Of the Irish
language. The officers and directors also
discussed several matters Of grave i'm
portance with a view of submitting
recommendations thereon to the conven-
ton to be. held in 1902.

DIET OF PORK AND H0MINY
Placed First in Professor Atwater's
Food Analysis

New York, Sept.11.-Few persons know
what a square meal is, according to Pro-
fessor Atwater, the Connecticut scien-
fist, who makes speciality of analyzlng
food and determining its values He has
just concluded a series of remarkable
experiments and the result Is that he
1nds very few know what to eat
Tt is common, for instance, to imagine
that a sirloin steak is one of the most
nutritious of meats Professor Atwater
has found that salt fat pork, for in
stance, is more than twice as rich in
nufriment and in fuel value. By fuel is
meant the property which furnishes heat
and energy to the body.
The World has the story OF Atwater's
discoveries, and according to the eminent
experimentallSt there is also 9. common
misrepresentation concerning eggs. Most
people eat eggs, even with an effort, de-
luding themselves by the thought that
they are nourishing. Now eggs are one
or the least nutrttive of foods Dried
white beans are more than eight times
as nutritious as eggs Oysters are one
of the poorest of our foods in nutrient
value, while fish are almost equally val
ueless as muscle producers.
Professor AtWater announces that the
popular idea that fish are rich in phos-
phorus and are consequently excellent as
a brain food is a mistake. There are a
score of common food products more
valuable as brain food than fish. The
foods which are richest in nutrients and
fuel viii also be a surprise to most peo-
PtC- AAAiOHAS AAlC1lS 1tL salt pork Is III
reality the most valuable food None of
the meats or fishes compares, however.
with beans, rice or potatoes. Sugar is
found to be very valuable as a nutrient.
Professor Atwater commends candy, es-
pecially for children, as one of the most
nutritious of foods.
The cereals far outrank all other foods
for both nutrient and fuel values Even
in the analysis the popular idea is con-
tradicted and we find oatmeal ranking
far below wheat -four. The most yaIu-
able of all our food products in point
of nutrient and fuel value is cornmeal

Governor Stanley Asks Kansans

night
Governor Stanley today issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
ITO the People of Kansas: On Sun
day, the 9Th inst, the city of Galveston
was visited by one of the most dis
astrous tempests ever known. That
beautiful city is now in ruins. The liv-
ing are busy burying the dead Thou
sands of people are homeless. The need
for aid is immediate. Kansas has never
turned deaf ear to the cry of distress,
nor withheld the hand of bounty from
the destitute.
II appeal to the generous spirit of our
people to respond to the cry of Cal
weston in her hour of suffering. / re-
cities and towns of the state at once
take such steps as to them may seem
best to procure from their communities
donations of money, and that a collec-
ton be taken in all of the churches of
the state on Sunday, the 18th, and that
such donations be sent at once to the
governor of Texas or the mayor OF Gal
weston
''I confidently expect a generous re-
Spouse to this appeal for help for this
stricken community.
'sW. E. STANLEY, Governor.
ATTEST: Secretary of State"
doubt that the generous people of KAN
sas will respond at once to this request
for aid for the Galveston sufferers The
storm and it's result are certainly the
worst ever recorded in the history of
our country, and the people of the
United States, Kansas among them, will
at once realize the Importance of prompt
action to prevent, so far as possible, adj
ditional suffering for the unfortunate
victims"
There remains in the India famine re-
lief fund an unexpended balance of $500
which the governor was today author
lied by the state relief committee to
send Immediately to Galveston.
This money is in the hands of F. d,
Coburn, secretary of the committee
