CURRENT COMMENT.

The Nashville American Dem.) says:
"It would be to the greatest possible ad-
vantage OF the South if the United States
should continue to exercise its present
control over Cuba. or. what is better. to
take absolute control Apparently COM
paratively few people in the South fully
realize the importance of the United
States maintaining control of abe island
Some are too busy weeping over our all
legged cruelty TO the poor Filipinos and
brooding over imaginary injustice to the
Cubans to give any thought to the i'm
portance OF protecting ourselves from the
menace of disease to which we have been
annually subjected for years and 10 which
we shall continue to be subjected II Cuba
is 20 be governed by Cuhans. The South
should hail with Joy the annexation OF
Cuban event which we believe will oc-
cur. and which cannot transpire too
soon.."

the country, and no less than five cir
cuses winter between the Ohio river

in Indiana that, while they admit these
two points, they are lightly taken; that
the state has much more substantial
kinship With the stage than spurious
relationship like this
Among the actors on the stage who

two of our best known English grand
opera prima donnas; Alice Fisher, Will
liam Ingersoll. son of Il Lafayette doe
tor; Walker Whiteside, son of a Lo-
gansport judge; Louise Klosser of In
dianapolis, Seth Miller Kent, whose
father gave his name to Kentland; the
three Melville sisters, and others of less
note.
In management there is one Indiana
name which has sent three representa-
tiYes right to the front. Lafayette is

Longest before the public perhaps is
Joseph Arthur, from that erstwhile be-
nighted southern strip of Indiana which
begot POsey county and Brown county
and made their illiteracy rebuke to
the states most strenuous struggle for
an enlightened position. But Mr.. Ar
thur came forth living witness to In
diana cleverness. His "Blue Jeans was
the precursor of a long line Of sensa-
tional country dramas, but it had the
quality or originality and entertain
ment. 1t has lasted for decade.
Recently he wrote another Indiana
play, Lost River" which has proved
only little less successful. They re-
pudiate Mr.. Arthur's characteriZations
Of Indiana types in his native state,
but the asperity has worn off since time
has shown that no one except the Hoo
siers themselves took the caricatures
seriously:
Booth Harrington used to act in plays
in Purdue and in Princeton before he
began to write stories. Then he wrote
i a play or two for the Dramatic club Of
Indianapolis But literary fame over
took him first He is best known as a
novelist, though it is expected that his
dramatiZation of his own charming
story Monsieur Beaucaire," which
Richard Mansfield will produce this
fall, will give him fame as dramatist.
Like most Indianians who succeed, Mr..
Harrington did so at an early age. He
is now only 80. His success in larger
affairs was foreshadowed by his brill
liant rise into prominence at Prince
ton. y friend, writing of him some
time ago in The Book Buyer remark
ed: "Mr. Harrington went to Prince

wealthy merchant of Washington. In
1899 General Rengifo was recalled to
become minister of finance of his coun-
try. A few weeks later he was
drowned, and his widow retired from
society until last season. NJ. Thiebaut,
who was until last spring first secre-
tary of the French embassy at Wash
ington, has been markedly attentive to
the beautiful and wealthy widow, and
the result is their engagement.
NJ. Eugene Thiebaut is one of the
most promising Of young French diplo-
mats. He has risen from post in the
consular service OF his country. He
was sent to Washington in 1896 as sec
retary of tie embassy and made Il
brilliant record, acting; on three differ
ent occasions as ambassador NJ. The
baut assisted ELIl)"ssador CallDon i'll
negotiating the reciprocity agreement
between France ;,Ad the United States,
and he was prOlA.nelt in the WORK OF
the French embassy during the Span
ish-American war, when NJ. Cambon
looked after Spanish interests. NJ.
Thiebaut rendered great service in the
signing of the peace protocol. and FOR
his work he received a decoration from
the Spanish king as we'll as honors
from his own government.
Last spring NJ. Thiebaut was trans
ferred, at his own request, to Berne,
becoming first secretary of the French
legation there. His reason for trans
ferring was his desire to be near his
aged parents. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that NJ. Thiebaut will soon re-
turn to Washington as French embas-
sador. He is in any event destined for
high rank in the diplomatic service of
his country, and his American wife
will worthily represent her compatriots
at foreign courts.

then elected to the board of editors of

While he has spent his winters ex-
plotting Richard Mansfield. Paul VIII
stach, who registers from Lafayette,
has found time to write several plays.
Nine. Rhea produced his first play.
The stock company at Washington
gave some of his one act plays success
full publicity, and in the exodus of high
class dramatic artists into vaudeville
several of them took one act plays of
his with them. Anna Held made her
first tour rs star in this dramatiSt'S
comedy, "A Gay Deceiyer.'
What Mr.. Wilstach believes is by far
his best work, however, is a play of
Washington life, "A Capitol Comedy
which Mr. Tim Murphy tried with pro-
nounced success last spring and will
use exclusively on tour this winter.
Mr.. Murphy is so well pleased with a
Capitol Comedy" that he has already
purchased the rights to this authors
next play.
George AIDE, who writes the celebrat-
ed Fables In Slang" was born,
brought up and educated in Indiana.
His first dramatic effort was a farce,
1.-THE Night of the Fourth" for Mat
| thews and Bulger. One day he stopped
the flow of fables long enough to go TO
see his play. He instantly ordered his
name suppressed from any connection
with the piece, not, as he acknowl-
edged, because he didn't like it, but
because SO much of his own text had
been changed and so much extraneous
matter introduced that he didn't feel
that it was his own. Now Ade has
written the book to comic opera call

Methodism, for reports of progress in
all parts of the earth, for united
thanksgiving and for inspiration for
still greater victories"
Methodism may be said to owe these
decennial ecumenial conferences to a
Chicago clergyman, the late Rev. DR..
Augustus C. George. DR.. George had
in mind the union Of all Methodists in
one church, and he initiated the move
ment for the great meeting in London
in 1881. He delivered then an address
on "How Christian Unity May Be
Maintained and Increased Among Our
selves and Made Manifest to the
World" Unfortunately, DR.. George
died short time afterward, and as
nobody had been appointed with au-
thority to call another conference
Methodists found themselves embar-
rassed. By series of committee meet
ings and resolutions and much corre-
spondence between the British ana
American churches it was agreed to
hold the second ecumenical conference
I'm Washington in 1891. The decennial
meetings may now, in all likelihood, be
considered fixed features of the work
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Prominent among American Metho-
dists interested in the coming congress
is Bishop Thomas Bowman, patriarch
of the church in the United States.
Bishop Bowman presided over the
opening session of the Washington
conference He has served his church
in many quarters of the globe and has
attended conferences in the United
States, Europe, India, China, Japan,
Mexico and other countries Since the
death Of Bishop Matthew Simpson in

Wedding Poets.

A curious calling very popular IN 70
land and Bohemia is that of the we'd
ding poet AS a rule these rhymsters
depend for their information on the
shopkeepers. Before the wedding party
enters the building where the ceremony
is to be solemnized the poet secures a
good position on the steps so that the
color of the brides hair, the style of her
face and figure may be noted.
Having ascertained all that is neces-
sary for this purpose, the inspired one
hurries to the restaurant where the
"noce' is to be celebrated, and by the
time the happy pair arrive has persuad-
ed his teeming brain to provide some
verses likely, when recited, to cause
the bridegroom's hand to wander in
stnctively toward his pocket
The fee of the wedding poet in
France is 10 francs. In Poland it is
less. AS the bride is invariably assured,
however, when the verses are praised,
that they We're inspired by her beauty,
the poet generally relies on netting
something additional in addition to be-
ing invited to join the feasters.
