ly" publishes description of a discovery
by Profs. Wasserman and Schuetze, of the

that of all animals save the monkey.
The experiments showed that the blood
of monkeys, in respect to albumeu. was
next in natural affinity to the blood of
man. The test was based on the employ
ment of hemolysine and praecipitane. The
discovery will be of immense service in

He recognizes the fact that when drug
is administered there is an alien sub
stance in the body which must be gotten
rid of before the patient is well; and he
therefore aims to produce a condition In
which the patient will not be dependent
upon drugs. All this tendency toward
natural and healthful life favors the ac-
ceptance of the extreme theory that no
physicians are necessary for any possible
evil.
When we come generally to recognize
the truth that the great laws of the uni
verse, under which mental. moral. and
physical health is possible, cannot be
violated without paying the price, either
by communities, or by individuals, we
shall understand that system which
runs contrary to these laws must of ne
cessity produce disease, and that the only
way to remove the disease is to change
or abolish the system. People cannot be
herded together in cities without proper
sanitary conveniences and remain
healthy; overwork cannot remain unpun-

their penalty Faith in the great health

be the intention of the miners organiza-

10 per cent: but the prime object OF the
movement at the present time is more
particularly to force recognition of the
union by the Coal Trust. The latter is
not in the least likely to make any such
concession, and consequently. 1t is pre-
dicted that April FOOLS Day will appro-
priately witness the Inauguration of a
strike which will have no apparent chance
of winning. The trust has amply provided
for such contingency, and. as far as we
can learn. the miners have not. They will
not receive the popular sympathy this
time that they did the last. After all
their outcry against their oppression by
the trusts last autumn they promptly and
cheerfully voted with and for the trusts

The Lafayette "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac.o


In the midst of musical comedies.
short-lived problem plays and badly con-
strueted society drama comes Edmund
Rostand the famous French poet, whose
'fCyrano de Bergerac" and "LAiglon"
have revived hope in the minds OF the
present generations hope that the
poetic drama still lives and that there
are authors yet left whose works are en-
during and wiscSS names aTe-an honor to
the world of literature. Washington has
had two Cyranos, Richard Mansfield and
Constance Coquelin. Now comes the third
production in that of the Lafayette stock
company, and to compare the latter to
the preceding ones might seem an alb
surdity to those who were not in at
tendance at the Lafayette Theatre last
night. To Mansfield and coquelin satei-
lites such proceeding would be termed
sacrilege. "Cyrano de Bergerac," as pre-
scented by the players under Walter
Clarke Bellows direction may take its
place with the rest, and in point of COM
pleteness it will go down in the annals
of local dramatic history as one OF the
most ambitious and successful stock pro-
auctions ever made.
Mr. Ormonde plays the title role and
disposes of the shadows of Mansfield and
Coquelin with as much naivete as he kills
off his numerous enemies. He was at his
best in the quiet passages, but handled
the lighter ones deity.
Miss Percy Haswell is delightful Rox-
ane. She gives an admirable portrayal of
Rostand's heroine and exhibited a great
deal of dramatic power which until now.
despite her previous successful Efforts,
has lain dormant. John T. Sullivan is
convincing as DeGuiche. and Charles Wyn-
gate looks and acts Christian perfectly.
Robert Rogers is at home as the unique
Ragueneau. the poet-cook, and his efforts
at composition were very amusing. Wal
ter Craven is a good LeBret, John DAILY
Murphy an excellent Ligniere. and Fred
eric Sullivan capital Montfieury. Miss
Louise Macintosh makes typical duen-
ma and Miss Grayce Scott's talents are
confined to the small part OF the Orange

in his face and gave him new light"
Now "Gentleman John" which
horn of the dilemma will you take?
Is the cold machine in decayed

fact that Billy and the Doctor are

Boss Scouten labored hard in lis

the facts as stated in one of our re-
cent issues, but, as matter of course e
called the News Item an ''insigniii-
cant lying sheet" Il "defunct gang
Organ," ETC., etc. Such assertions
are simply in keeping with the dis
position of hauling down our 'Oun-
try's flag, both being mark of low
civilization or a bedlamite, and only
shows an inability to deal with the
questions at issue with seriousness,
sobriety and regard for existing
facts. His effort to explain his con-
duct in ordering the flag not
to go up on his building is regarded
by patriots as an excuse without
sense or reason, and ScOuten still
finds himself up against Il task not
easy to accomplish. And what an
incalculable public misfortune it
would be if it were not so?
