the relentless jingle OF sleigh bells. What
a wonderful demonstration 1t Is Of the
power over the mind possessed by asso-
citation of ideas that sound, ordinarily
expressive Of merriment, becomes for
Matthias the terrifying sign of pursuing
nemesis! The uncanny weirdness of that
jingle which has sounded for fifteen years
in the ears of the guilty man and which
at last breaks down the resistance Of his
reason, has seldom been surpassed In the
drama.
Consider, too, how the simple Alastiau
life pictured by Erckmann and Chatrian in
their story forms a powerfully contrasts
ing background for this study in the
psychology of crime-the good wife, the
loving daughter, her manly young lover,
the village cronies with their drinking
and jests, all blind to the struggle going
on in the seething brain of the burgo-
master.
Tragedies are not pleasant to see. and
the strong modern tendency toward re-
garding the theater as first of all a placess
OF amusement has had the effect of ex-.a
t1nguishing the long line Of tragedians 1
that have made the English-speaking4a
stage illustrious. 1t has been pointed out5
that Sir Henry Irving is practically that
last OF the great tragedians and that there
is none to succeed him. Which leads to
two observations: First there would be-
rising tragedians on the stage If there
were demand for them, since no art is
more amenable to the law of supply and
demand than that of the actor; and sec
ond Irving is more than a mere tragedian
as will be demonstrated anew before the
close OF the present engagement But,
horrible as is the tragedy of Matthias, as
enacted by Irving, it yet serves to exhibit
as few plays could the strength and
measure Of his art and to Justify the fame
which came to him when first he pre-
sented 1t some thirty years since and
which will cause its retention in his reper-
tory as long as he appears upon tho
stage. His Matthias is an impersonation
that long since took its place among
those great stage characters which.
despite the impermanency of the actors
art, will always live
Irving's silences are often more eloquent
than his speeches. The frozen horror that
spreads over his face when he hears in
the distance the approaching bells Of the
Polish Jew. is fairly appalling. And the
pauses when no sound issues from his
lips-not even the inarticulate sounds
which he habitually uses to express so
many phases of emotion-speak more
loudly of the storm going on within than
words could
The climax, of course, is the marvellous

The people of the United States have no
conception of the conditions prevailing down
here. If they had howl would go up from
one end Of the country to the other. Army
officers tell of these things in confidence, but
nothing is said with the idea that it shall
get to the outside world. 1 have no doubt
that when this appears in the Constitution
there will be a chorus of denials, and yet
am writing only that which 1 get from
the very best authority.
General orders have been issued that who-
soever shall in any way give aid and COM
fort to the enemy shall be visited with dire
punishment; that his house shall be burned
over his head and that he himself shall be
dealt with as severely as is possible. The
officer commanding the battalion over on
Bohol has been given instruction to kill Off
everybody suspected of connection with the
insurgents He has been told that these
orders give him the widest latitude; that he is
not to be very particular whether the suspect
is bearing arms has been. If he is a Sus-
pect he is to be treated as an outlaw and
shot down. The people are being brought in
from the country and cooped UP in the towns.

Would Blow Up the Islands.
Mr.. Obi gives accounts of many villages,
burned and innocent lives taken and refers
in scathing language to wholesale at
tacks upon native women by American
soldiers. He then quotes Colonel Crane,
adjutant general to General Hughes, as
saying:
The BEST thing to do with them (the Philip
pine islands) would be to kill off the people
and then put bomb under each island and
blow it from the face Of the earth. l would
never leave here, however, as long there
was one Of these fellows left tn etick hfR

GERS feel similarly, although those we'll
informed recognize in the Filipinos race

The management Of the Ere

ley railroad company hiss decided
to wage an unceasing warfare on
the small pox epidemic now SO
serious in the states of Nebraska
aud Wyoming. Iu a circular
letter mailed from his office in
this city today, Chief Surgeon
G w Colt, Of the F E aud N Y,
urges all Of his assistants in the
states OF Nebraska aud Wyoming
to exert every effort to bring
about speedy termination Of the
scourge. He urges a thorough
corporation with the local aud
State health authorities-the en-
tire portion of Nebraska adj scent
to the F e aud NJ Wine has been
divided into districts, each of
which is in charge of three Com

whom devolves the duty of seeing
that the quarantine regulations
are enforced to the letter and a

Surgeon every four days of the
conditions as they exist in each

it is thought the rather difficult
