Tho small boy has lots of fun
these days swimming. They go at
all hours and disport themselves
in the water. Many of them are
forbidden by their mothers to go
near the river this hot weather
Sometimes crowd of them are
seen coming from the direction of
the river and one of them with his
hat off feeling his hair will say:
"Fellers, does she look dry?" just
feel sorry for him because he's got
mother who doesn't allow him to
go in swimming and he is endeav-
oring to dry his hair before he gets
homo. He knows that if he does
tell his mother that he has not
been within ten miles of water she
will take off his hat to see if his
hair is wet, and if it is, we'll, of
course, tho boys know what is
coming.

He never lay straddle-legged over his
wounded bunkie on the skirmish line
and pumped his Krag. Peyton should
join the regulars for three years and
try real soldering. He'd learn a few
real facts. He'd get some good les
sons. For. instance, after six months
in the regulars, he wouldn't cal one
man a drunkard without first measur-
ing his beceps, no matter how drunk
the man may be. To call $1,000 men
bad names would seem audacious to
him If he were a regular. Pretty soon,
when the talking disease attacked
him he'd initiate the old-timers and go
off by himself and swear at everybody
and everything. But he would not ma
lign a man in public until he was sure
he could thrash him. Peyton should
join the regulars. Correspondence

F~OODSTUFFS RELEASED.

Washington, Feb. 22.-United States
Consul Stowe, at Cape town, under date
of today, cables the state department
as follows:
"Mashona food stuffs released; gov
eminent buy; c%onsignors send invoices.
Stowe"
The Mashona was one of the three
vessels seized by British cruisers off the
east coast of Africa, laden with fOod
stuffs, which it is supposed were in
| tended for the Beers.
Since Lord Salisbury's declaration
some weeks ago, to the effect that the
government would lot sustain the le-
gality of the seizures, the British au-
thorities have been endeavoring to as
certain the names Of the owners and
the value of the seized goods with a
view to settlement, either by release Or
purchase. A good deal of progress has
been made in this direction, and ac-
cording to the reports of the state de
partment the American owners Of the
seized goods have expressed satisfac-
ton with the settlements made by the
British government. Naturally, food
stuffs have increased very much in
value in South Africa since the con,
signments were made in this country
and the shippers Of the goods where
they can establish the fact that they
have not parted with their possession,
have now an opportunity to realize a
profit far above any profit they might
have sustained through the detention
of their goods.
The cargo of the Beatrice, one of the
seized vessels, was landed at East Lon
don and turned over to the owner for
private sale. In case the British gov
eminent, as indicated in Mr.. Stoves
cablegram, buys the food stuffs it is
bound by its own rules to pay an ad-
vance of 10 per cent on the invoice
price of the goods.

SAPPHO PLAYERS ARRESTED.
Olga Nethersole and Her Leading Man
Charged With Indecent Conduct.

New York, Feb. 22.-On a warran
charging her with offending publ
decency, Olga Nethersole. the actress
was arrested yesterday afternoon anC
made to apear in the central street po'
lice court. She was paroled in the Gus,
tody of her counsel and the case set fol
hearing Friday morning.
The arrest is the elimination of the
attack upon and denunciation of Sap
pho" Clyde Fitch's play, now being
produced by Miss Nethersole at Wal
lacks theater. The play is a stage
adaptation of Alfonso Daudet's novel
of the same name.
The attack seems to come from all
directions, the play being denounced
by pulpit and press.
With Miss Nethersole were arrested
upon the same charge Hamilton Re
velle, her leading actor, and Marcus
Mayer, her manager. A warrant was
issued for the arrest of Theodore
Moss, proprietor Of Wallack's, but as
Mr.. Moss was i'll, Charles Burnham, the
manager of the theater, appeared in
police court in his stead as a repre-
sentative of the playhouse.
The warrants for the arrest of the
four persons principally cocerned in
the production were issued early in
the day by Magistrate Mott on infor-
nation of District Attorney Mardiner,
based on complaint of Robert Mackay,
a newspaper reporter.
The complaint sets forth hat the
play is the portrayal Of the life of a
lewd and dissolute woman in a way to
offend public %decency."
District Attorney Gardiner in his re-
quest hat a warrant be issued, charges
that in "a dramatic performance en-
titled 'Sappho' indencent pastures, in
decent suggestive language against
good morals and indecent conduct have
Deer portrayed before public audi
ences."
The provision under which the war;
ram was issued is section 1856, sub
division ii. Of the penal code, applying
to public nuisance, which is a INSIDE
meanor and is punishable by impris-
onment in the penitentiary for one
year or a fine Of $500, or both.
Miss Nethersole was arrested at the
Hoffman house by Inspector Thompson
and taken directly to the Central street
police court. She was evidently great
ly worried, but soon overcame her ner-
vousness. At the dictation Of her coun-
sci she said in answer to the complaint:
Il have committed no offense against
the good morals Of this or any other
country. l especially demand to know
the source of this attack on me and my
property. The court cannot order a too
speedy investigation"
At the request of Miss Nethersole's
counsel the hearing was set for Fri
day morning without objection by the
district attorneys representatives.
After this matter was settled Chief OF
Police Devery stated emphatically thai
he would not interfere with the per-
Torrance Of "Sappho" until the case
had come up for hearing and had been
disposed of. The play vas presented
last night.
