THE PLAY IN ITALY.
It is Made a Serious Matter and the
 Audience Initiates the Stage Battle.

It is Made Serious Matter and the
 Audience Initiates the Stage Battle. | Never has there been seen such a l crowded theater as was the Costanzi
 on Monday night to see 'd'Annunzio's s
 play Francesca da Rimini," and never | was there such a display of feverish agitation.
 At o'clock in the afternoon the gal | lery was packed with tumultuous crowd which had forced the doors, and two factions had been formed, the D'Anunzian and the anti-D' D'Anunzians, just as the fifteen century the Guelphs and the Ghibelines confronted each other. Before the curtain rose on the
 stage the ardor of the rival partisans had become frenzied. The enormous theater, which was sparkling with mag nificent jewels as on a gala evening, was traversed by waves of storm. The d Annunzio faction, which had mustered in full force was beyond
 doubt the more numerous and the
 stronger. It was reinforced by the pub
 lie. Tn the boxes and stalls, who were impatiently awaiting the raising of the
 curtain on a dream of beauty which for
 three Ildu GNClteI ljlC ton of the Italian people.
 The audience was unjust toward the symphony composed of Maestro Scon- tuno, which was, nevertheless most ex- pressiye and noble. The scenery in the first act. representing a court and gar den in the house of Polenta, is such marvel that the house was at once captivated, and amid profound si- lence the story was unfolded to the end interrupted here and there by frantic applause evoked by the lyric outbursts D'Ostasio's verses on the beauty Of Francesca aroused unani- nous enthusiasm and the hostile fac ton was overcome.
 But in the second act a strange phe- nomenon of suggestion occurred Tn this admirable act, continuing battle before the towers of Malatesta, the fury of Guelph and Ghibelne penetrated to the audience with the smoke from the burning scene and the noise of cata- pults and other medieval weapons At the end of the act the storm broke out in the gallery. The entire house stood up and called for the young mas ter. while insults were hurled across the auditorium. Shouts of Viva d An nunziol" were raised, and ladies in de- lirium cracked their gloves and broke their rings with frantic clippings. 1

PLANS TO PROJECT GALTESTON

They don't want to be overflowed again in Galveston if they can help it, and they are doing what they can to keep out the water. Plans have been made to provide for sea-wall, to be built on the beach, and to extend the whole length of the city limits; and for raising the grade of the entire city. It is mammoth undertaking, which will cost the already impoverished city mil lions, and involve considerable addition al outlay by each property-owner. The city is to fill in with sand pumped from the gulf an area of ground on the gulf side of the city four miles long and one mile wide, to an elevation of ten feet The city will also raise all the streets and alleys, and the property owners will have to raise their lots to conform with the established grade. A plan is on foot to organize home company to carry out the plan of pumping the sand from the gulf and to accept private property contracts at minimum cost, with longtime payments by persons who cannot pay for the improving of their property at once.
 Galveston has been drowned and she is now in financial difficulties. But if she is going to feel safe she must have some protection against another calam- ity like the one which devastated her last year.

GOODS MADE ON HONOR.

Apropos of the general sale that was opened by The George H. Ford Co. on Monday, it will be well to re- call the invariable practice of this house.
 The stock that it purchases is ob- tained from old and reliable firms. They have looked askance at the alluring bids made for their trade by firms that offered cheapness as an argument. The George H. Ford Company desires the assurance of quality first; the price matter was an after consideration.
 Many houses have not scrupled to advertise goods with the statement that ia jeweler will charge twice as much as we do"
 That statement is perhaps correct in the main, for twice as much, in many instances, should be charged for the genuine article. The half price article has been too often found spurious to deceive anyone who has expert knowledge. The public, as q mass, are not experts, therefore they can be deceived for a time. The only safeguard against this deception is to deal with a reputable and experienced house, such as The George H. Ford Go.
 A karet mark by this house means just what 1t implies. When they make the goods in their own fac tory, the most exact precision in this regard is adopted. When they buy, it Is from houses whose name is absolute proof that the article is devoid of all spurious and question: able quality.
 During this sale the entire stock of the house, including some goods bought in Europe last summer, and exhibited now for the first time, is being sold at reductions of from 20 to 50 per cent.

TWO MISPLACED COMMAS.

Some people don't know much about punctuation and some neither know nor care much about it, but there are times when it is important to know some thing about it and to care something about it. Senator Hoar is just now thinking that 8 way ought to be found to have what he says properly punctu- ated when it is printed. There has been quite stir because it was thought he had cast slur upon the Portuguese and Italians. He has felt obliged to notice the stir. and he declares that he has been wronged by wrong punctua- ton. His remark was: "The Chinese who is in every respect fit for citizen ship is excluded, while the Portuguese or Italian who is absolutely unfit is ad mitted." As this got into print, there was comma placed after the word "Italian,' and one after the phrase "who is absolutely unfit" and the sen- tence then read thus: "The Chinese who is in every respect fit for citizenship is excluded, while the Portuguese or Ital- ian, who is absolutely unfit, is admit ted" This was taken to mean that Senator Hoar thought all Portuguese and Italians were unfit to be admitted, and many Portuguese and Italians who have votes immediately wanted to know why.
 Senator Hoar has got out of his scrape very successfully, if his eXplana- ton can be understood by those who got after him. His experience shows about the misuse of a comma.

NOT OUR MISFORTUNE.

It might perhaps be wicked to rejoice
 over the fact that Europe has had small wheat crops, but it surely isn't wicked to rejoice over the fact that this country has had large wheat crops and has been able to supply Europe with
 wheat at a fair price. It appears that during the ten months of this year ending with October Europe bought al- most twice as much wheat from us as in the ten months ending with October, 1900. The total export of wheat, in bushels, for the first ten months of the current year, was 155, ,574, compared with au export of d little more than 79,0000 900 bushels for the same months of 1900. The exports of wheat flour for those for the corresponding period in 1900 by 552,7 barrels. Flour is usually expressed ill bushels of wheat by counting one barrel of flour equivalent to four and a half bushels of wheat Exports of wheat flour, therefore, for the period above named exceed ed Nthose for the first ten months of last year by q quantity equiv alent to 2,4S7, ,oOO bushels of wheat.

AN JNIE R ES1lN C CA SE.

When William Allen Whites article on Senator Thomas c. Platt appeared in McClure's Magazine it was seen by those who thought they knew some thing about Senator Platt to be some what inaccurate, but it was not sup posed that it would heat 'the Easy Boss" up to the boiling over point. But it has done it, and unless he changes his mind MT. White will have trouble. Says Senator Platt: I intend to use all my money, all my power. to bring about the punishment of this man, who has So see whether there is any law in the land. I have been held up to ridicule and contempt before the entire country. I have been portrayed by means of a mass of falsehoods by a man who does not know me. To be sure, I have been criticised before in my life, severely criticised but I have overlooked those instances. This one I cannot overlook. It is not a question of Senator Platt be- ing big enough man to disregard such an assault as this. My character has been assaulted, and cannot brook that.
 It is difficult to see why Senator Platt, who has, of course, been much libelled during his long and sometimes stormy career, should conclude at this late day that he wont stand any more But he has the right to get vindicated if he can, and if he really means to be the proceedings will be interesting.

All of sudden he leaned down. put his arms around me, drew me up to him and kissed me. He said: .Mme Patti, may never see you again, but cannot help it;' and before n knew it he was kissing me. When Rentleman, and such a nice old gentle vr~n, too. and a governor of a great State; kisses one so quick that one has not time to see and no time to object, what can one do?" Gerster was asked
 about the incident. She said: q have sB6ard that Governor Crittenden kissed aTHtti before she had time to resist; but
 don't see anything i'll that to create so 2nuch fuss. There is nothing wrong in mans kissing woman old enough to kbe bis mother"
