THE DRAMA.


The play The District Attorney
presented by the Neil Comply last
night, had an appositeness entirely
apart from its dramatic merits, coming
as 1t did so soon after the municipal
election in New York with which every
periodical in the country has been filled
for months. The play deals with poll
tics in New York city, and deals with it
In a mastery dramatic way. 1t was
dramatically played too. 1t held the
audience to the last Notwithstanding
the curtain did not rise until o'clock
and the play did not conclude till near
ly midnight.
Edythe Chapman was cast for a
comparatively minor part, but which in
two or three short scenes is a particu-
larly exacting part Mr.. Neil as John
Stratton" the district attorney had a
part with great possibilities in it to
most of which he rose most satisfac-
tordly. Robert Morris as Daniel Nc
Grath" did some of the best work he
has done this season. He was parti-
cularly good in the scene in the district
attorneys office. Scott Seaton as "Ver-
non Holt" and again as Georgian" did
some specially pleasing character work
Lucille Spinney as Grace Brainerd"
and Mary Elizabeth Forbes as "Madge
Brainerd" showed capabilities which
they have not often had opportunity
this season to show. Arthur Croswell
did good work as Frank Pierson" in
George Bloomquest made very pleas
ing Wellington Gridley," and Frank
MacNicars as Matthew Brainerd" and
John w. Burton as General Ruggles"
We're finished and satisfying as they al
ways are.

KIDNAPPING SAILORS

KICK.

The London Daily Mail Tells How it is
Done in San Francisco-M Methods Not
Unknown Here.

The following is from the London
! DAILY Mail: At San Francisco and
nearly every other big American port
whole crews of British sailors are sys-
tematically kidnapped by crimps and
eolu again Tor large sums, sometimes
as much as $40 per head.
The Foreign Office has been asked
ana has consented to petition the Unit
ed states Government to pass some
Federal law which shall abolish or
diminish this state of affairs.
In England a boarding master-that
IL TO say, the keeper of a lodging house
Tor seamen-is not allowed to go on
board any vessel in port, and he can be
arrested for either harboring deserters
or for inducing them to desert.
The skipper of practically every
british merchant vessel which enters
an American port is deserted by the
Dulk or his crew through the bribes
threats, and physical compulsion of the
boarding masters" who get the men
down to their houses-oft- times dis
sulsed with the title of Sailors Home"
and fill them with drink.
The British Consul at the port can
do nothing, for although he has the
power to order the arrest of any desert
ers, the capture has to be effected by
American policemen, and there is gem
orally considerable difficulty in finding
the culprit before the vessel is due to
sail. If the skipper of the vessel likes
to waste time hanging about the port
Tor a week or more, he may succeed
in getting together a scratch crew on
his own initiative, but they will prob
ably arrive on board in a very battered
and beggarly condition. If he cannot
afford TO do this, he has to go to a
boarding MASTER" and buy a crew
from him at his own price-which may
be anything up to a ten-pound note for
every sailor supplied. In many cases
the skipper will find, having paid large
sums of money to the boarding master,
that he has secured the crew of the
vessel which is lying alongside his own
i'm harbor and that the skipper of the
other vessel has secured his crew for a
similar sum.

Our Canadian neighbors are setting
an example on the problem of reclaim
ing the arid lands that is worthy OF
attention. Just north of Montana,
while we have been talking about the
benefits of the work, they have been
building big canals and retaining
thousands of acres of land. They have
not only reclaimed the land, but they
have prepared for beet sugar growing.
and next year they will have a factory
in operation. What can be done in Ca
NADIA in this line can be better and
more successfully accomplished in
