LOVERS LANE. y
Has Proven to Be Great Success at Nc
vicker's The atre, Chicago.

Lovers Lane the summer attrac-
has proved itself as delightful play
as its name indicates. All of the
charm of of idyl1ic country town lifeis
revealed in the piece. It smells of the
fragrant blossoms of spring and shows
pictures of orchards in the bloom of
May, and again when October has
changed the green to browns ard yell
lows, and rich red apples hang in pro-
fusion from the branches of the trees.
Under the shadow of these trees a
drama is enacted in which delicious
comedy follows heart-touching pathos
in such quick succession that laughter
echoes the sound Of sobs. The play is
brimfu1 of quaint chara cters and the
situations are, many of them, side
splitting in their power of producing
mirth. One of the most charming per-
sonages of recent dramatic literature
is Simplicity Johnson, the charity girl
whom Mr.. Singleton, the minister, be-
friends and watches over. Simplicity,
or Simple, as the reverend gentleman
her sorrows and joys fiji the hearts of
those who see her. Her simple pathos
when she finds the minister, whom she
adorcs and hopes to marry when 'she is
Big" has given his heart to Miss
Larkin, the art student from New
York, is one of the sweetest touches in
the play. Simple loves to play with
the boys; she climbs trees; she is not
averse to a game Of marbles; and in
other ways she shocks the prim pru-
derry of Miss Mealy, the village school
mistress. She is said to be the ''most
punished child in the school, and this
is true, for though Simplicity will not
lie nor steal and always takes the part
of the weak; she likes to see good
fight and she is always Independent
and ready with her tongue to answer
her teacher. But she has staunch
friends in the minister and Miss Lar
kin and they see her through her trou-
bIes Mr.. VIM. A. Brady has given
'sLovers Lane" fine production and
the company is one Of the best which
has come to the West in several seas

DR.. JOHN ALEXANDER DowIE has
recently made the interesting discov-
cry that he is the reincarnation OF
Eliza. He is all that the biblical char
acter was or hoped to be. He is
prophet, priest and ruler of men. He
is going to perform miracles of power
In the Christening and cleansing of
Chicago and the other great cities of
the United States and the world and is
not going to rest nor abate his activi-
ties until he has reformed, from the
roots up, all the governments on the
face of the broad earth. In other
words, DR.. Dowie has signed big
contract that is likely to keep him busy
long after the chariot of fire has
snatched the reincarnation from among
the faithful. When that time comes it
is to be hoped that there will be no one
hanging around for MIR. Dowie's man
tie to fall on.

Ch4ries K. Waite. the First Child Born
in Southport. Returns to Visit
With Former Friends.
RECALLS INCIDENTS LONG PASSED
MI. Waite Was Born in Southport Sixty
Years ago tomorrow.-Was Leader
of the First Band.

Charles K. Waite, of Kansas City,
Mo-, who has the distinction of being
the first white child born in the vii
1age of Southport, is in the city visit
ing his sister, Mrs. George Barber,
and renewing the acquaintances of his
youth. Mr.. Waite is willing to con-
cede to Hosea Barns the title of being
the first white child born within the
confines Of the county Of Kenosha, but
he holds the honor of being South
ports first baby. Mr.. Waite is the
son of Ira M. Waite, one of the first
settlers of Southport. He was born in
one of the early cabin homes on June
5th, 1841, just sixty years ago to-
morrow.
Mr. Waite took an interesting part
in the early social life of Kenosha and
organized the first quadrille band in
the city. He wassa familiar figure at
many of the early social events. Dur
ing his short visit in Kenosha he is re-
calling the early history Of South
port. Few of the boys and girls with
whom he was schoo1mate survive,
and the large majority Of them have
long since been laid to rest in the city
cemetery, = Mr.. Waite has been away
from Kenosha many years, but he is
not forgotten by the boys and girls of
those early times and his return to the
city has been the cause of many happy
reunions. SO -~
The first white child took an active
part in the military companies organ
lied in Kenosha at the time of the
breaking out of the civil war. He was
one of the men who vo1un teered as a
member of Company G, 1st Wisconsin
Volunteers under Capt. MeVean, and
when his ninety days of service had
been completed he re-enlisted in the
cavalry under Capt. Conatty, another
Kenosha boy, and served for several
years as member Of Company M,
Wisconsin Cavalry.
For several years Mr.. Waite has
been residing in Kansas City, where
he has built up a large business as a
sign painter and a decorator. He will
remain in Kenosha for short time as
the guest of his sister.

A MAN by the name of Forshay shot
his sweetheart in Chicago the other
day, and from letters found upon him
when he had been captured, 1t is
quite evident that he had at one time
intended to shoot himself, like
wise. His nerve was good enough to
shoot the girl, but when it came to
himself it was different. He failed
there. The instinct of suicide is
an ugly thing at the best, but that
phase of it that Forshay gave to the
public is the worst possible phase and
the most disgusting. 1t is bad enough
to contemplate the man who has taken
his own life, but to look upon the one
who has been weak enough to deter
n1ine to do it and make all the prepar'
ations and then fail, especially when
part of those preparations is the life
of another, the thing becomes too alb
horrent to think about.

WHEN the Supreme Court decision
on the Insu1ar policy of the United
States was first reported, William ].
Bryan stated that he would need time
for deliberation before forming an
opinion. After that, if we may take
his subsequent expressions as evil
deuce, he put aside the reports and
laid himself out to fit his already cut
and dried opinion, that he had been
keeping picked fox some time, to the
decision of the Court. He knows that
the government is reported to have
Won and that seems to have satisfied
him. He goes on with that much as
data to tell what he thinks of the de-
cision. He is convinced that it be-
speaks conspiracy on the part of the
powers that be to change the form OF
our government. He is convinced
that it means an attempt to make an
Empire out of the Republic of the
United States. 1t is impossible that
Bryan could have read the decision of
the Court if he writes his honest opin-
ions. There is nothing in it that
could possibly be construed to give
Imperial power to any one but the peo-
pie. Even those who honestly believe
that the minority report of the Court
would nave been the wiser laugh and
scott at the twadd1e of Mr.. Bryan. AS
the Chicago Record-Herald says: cit
is the purest moonshine to try to read
empires, crowns and scepters into a
ruling that leaves all power with Con-
gress under the limitation of the Con-
stituticn.''

ONE of the most pleasing signs of
the times is the industrial revival IN
the South. The letters of William h.
Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald,
who has recently returned from quite
an extensive investigation into indus
trial conditions in the Southern States,
are full of encouraging information as
to the resuscitation of the emaciated
industries of Dixie. Not long ago a
visit to the South was dispiriting be-
cause of the i1apidated, grown to seed
appearance of all things. It took
somewhat inquisitoria1 scrutiny of the
centers of trade to discern the boom IN
embryo that has visited the Southern
States in the past two years. The
cotton, coal and pig iron industries
have grown immensely and have
brought great wealth into the South.
But manufacturing has, according
to Mr.. Curtis, enjoyed the greatest de-
yelopment. Capital invested in manu-
turing has increased more than four
times since 1880, and the output, which
was S457, 900, 900 in 1880. has increased
between 800 and 400 per cent. Aspara-
gus farms and truck farming are also
yielding fortunes.
This prosperity in the South is cause
for general rejoicing. 1t presages the
reopening of a vast section of our nat
ura1 resources that has lain dormant
for almost half a century. 1t means
that the South, naturally so produc-
tive. but almost dead branch since
the war, shall recover an industrial vi
tality and strength equal, if not supe-
rior to that of the North. It augurs
total obliteration of sectional lines
and a united North and South. AS
the States that have for so long a time
apparently remained in a state of leth-
argy watching the wealth accumulation
the hands of their Northern neighbors,
get taste of that prosperity and turn
the tide in their direction, they will
more and more catch the spirit of the
age until the two are finally welded in
one solid, harmonious body by a per-
feet community Of interests. As the
tide of prosperity, sweeping West
ward, has gradually, but surely, borne
away the walls erected by Populism, so
the tide of prosperity that is setting
Southwark will surely break down the
walls of prejudice and envy and con-
scrvntism that have kept the North
and South more or less apart and have
anchored Dixie to poverty and uupro-
oreSSiveneSS

JUST when it is least expected il is
most likely to occur. That is the way
with great many things and, among
others, a strike. This is some evidence
# how much the public know Of the
conditions that are productive of
strikes. Prior to the Machinists'
strike it was quite generally supposed
that industrial conditions were most
harmonious and prosperous. There
was no strike of any dimensions looked
for. Then it came like clap of thun-
der from a clear sky. Maybe the en-
ployers were looking for it and per-
haps the laboring men were not sur
priscd. Possibly it was the result of
conditions that would most inevitably
so act. But the fact remains that the
man on the outside, the public, cannot
discern from apparently prosperous
and hea1thfu1 industrial symptoms
Just what is the true status. When all
the general indications point to thor
ough health and vigor in the indus
trial body, when help is as scarce as
the proverbia1 hens teeth, when labor
is giving ali the signs of prosperity,
spending money freely, building
homes and enjoying life generally,
then without any manifest cause
things are all turned topsy turvy by a
strike. Probably there's good ground,
bat it is hid from the public eye.

shop, had some words during the
evening and they came to blows short

the High Art tailor shop making some
purchases when the negro entered the
store and proceeded to start trouble.
LeBorge evidently did not want to
fight. He attempted to get away from
Porter and the latter hurled hat form
at him. The trouble was resumed
when the barber came out on the street
and Porter had ali the best of the
fight. He struck LeBorge half dozen
times in the face and finally knocked
him down. LeBorge attempted to run
away but the negro pursued him I'M
til he was pulled off by the constable.
