Another Performance.

Another performance of when We
Were Twenty One" by George Clarke
and his clever company was given
last evening at Harper's theatre, but
the audience was miserably small,
further demonstrating the fact that a
first-class attraction does not interest
the majority of the patrons ofthe pre-.
sent local house. Mr.. Clarke has 6
great play and fine support. and al
who have seen him during his en-
gagemeot here hope he will return

Some Poor investments

In some parts of these negro cabins
of the plantation districts I often
found sewing machines which had
been bought, on installments, frequent
ly at "a cost of as much as sixty dol
lars; or snowy clocks for which the
occupants Of the cabins had paid
twelve or fourteen dollars On one
occasion went into one of these cab
ms for dinner. When I sat down to
the table I noticed that, while there
were five Of us at the table, there was
but one fork for all of US Naturally
there was an awkward pause
on my part In the Oppo-
site corner of that same
cabin was an organ for which these
people were paying sixty dollars in
monthly installments. One fork, and a
sixty-dollar organ!
In most cases the sewing machine
was noe used, the clocks were so
worthless that they did not keep cor
rect time-and If they had, in nine
cases out of ten there would have been
no one in the family who could have
told the time of day-while the organ.
OF course, was rarely used for want of
a. person who could play upon it

The Order of Acorns

The Order of the Acorns should be
made a permanent body, and kept up
to the high standard it has maintained
during the campaign that has just
closed It was originally and Is essen
TALLY an organization of hard-Working
newspaper men, whose consciences re-
VOTED against the unspeakable infam-
les of which they were cognizant, but
which the limitations and requirements
of decency prevented them from ex-
posing in their full hideousness. They
get together, however, and they did
splendid work, such work as makes the
Acorn badge a higher decoration Of
honor than the ribbon of the French
Legion. The work that they could not
to in the columns of the newspapers
they did on the platform, and it is
largely due to their efforts that the re-
demption of the city has been accom-
plished.
Senator Platt has well expressed the
debt of gratitude which the city and the
country owes to the newspapers which
could not be bought by all the wealth
which Tammany Hall had to offer, but
fought the good fight for truth and
Righteousness in spite of every tempta-
ton. The Brooklyn Times did its share
Of that work. and it rejolces with JOY
unspeakable in the result. But q tri-
butte of praise should be paid to the
boys" to the newspaper reporters,
who co-operated so spiendidly and to
whose zeal and energy. of which the
public can know nothing, so large a
share of that triumph is due. They are
the men who wear the Acorn badge
the men who gave their time and their
dimes without stint or grudging to
help along the good work, and to whom
it Is largely owing that William s.
Devery IS fated to retire at an early
date from the place he has dishonored.

Mannerisms Of Actors

Year after year the criticisms Of the
most popular actors include the half
complaining reference to their man
nerisms. 1t is. however, just because
Of these mannerisms that certain act
ors remain popular and come back
year after year. Mannerism Is after
all personality, and personality Is an
index OF character, and unless an ar
fist be merely a waxen image 1t IN
character that counts. Mannerism be-
comes a kind of trade mark This Ia
an age Of trade marks. OF distinction
by reconciliation, OF individuality.
Mere correctness in acting is a sterile
virtue. The successful actor today
couples mannerism with correctness
An audience would feel cheated and dis

Mansfield had taken to bending his

that ViSla Allen made love in treble

that Crane had forgotten how to haw-

IA PART OF APPARATUS
ALREADY INSTALLED
The System Brought Into Use in
This City at the Time of Arrest
of EriCkson's Murderer-No
SIipup Possible Where it is En-
pIoyed.

Chief of Police William ]. e. Stone,
yesterday, received part of the Ber-
tillon system apparatus that is to be
Installed at Station 1, and now all that
remains to put the system in opera
ton in Worcester are the Sections
which can only be obtained in Paris.
But one firm in America imports the
measuring apparatus, and it will be at
least three weeks possibly before 1t can
be secured. AS soon as the sections
arrive the apparatus VIII be installed at
police headquarters in a section of the
part now used by the officers as a
dormitory. Chief Stone and inspector
Patrick O'Day have made close studies
of the system, which, to a beginner, is
complicated to follow, and requires
much time and attention.
The question Of the identification Of
the personality Of a criminal is con-
coded by all students of criminology to
be the most important one existing be-
tween the authorities and the criminal.
The old axiom, "Once a thief. always
a thief" may not sbe universally true,
but there are so many illustrations of
a life devoted to crime that the value
and importance of an iudelible, perma-
nent and quickly accessible record Of
all persons who commit crime cannot
well be disputed, and the assistance
and benefit that could be derived by
the authorities and society from such
a record is very apparent to all who
have occasion to deal with criminals.
On several occasions the Worcester
department has found it necessary to
use the BertillOn system, and the last
time was when Oscar William Nelson,
arrested for the murder Of Gustaf Err
ickson, in his Catherine Street home,
was being held for trial at the Sum
mer Street jail. Nelson positively re-
fused to reveal anything about his
former life, and it was only when his
pictures had been sent to various prls-
ons with his measurements under the
French system that his notorious career
as a criminal was discovered.
Inspector Barry, of the Boston de-
partment, was brought to Worcester
with sections Of the Boston apparatus
and Nelson's measurements were ia
ken at the Summer Street Jail under
the direction of Chief Stone and In
spector Patrick O'Day. Shortly after
the measurements were sent out an
swers came back and records against
| Nelson were located at Blackwells Is
land, Auburn and Sing Sing prisons in
New York. and at the Connecticut
state prison at Weathersfield. At the
trial officers from all places mentioned
were present and had Nelson taken the
stand in his own defense these mer
would also have taken the stand and

In the Riuht Coach

In one part Of our country. where the
law demands the separation Of the
races on the railroad trains, once saw
an amusing instance which showed
how difficult it sometimes is to know
where the black begins and the white
ends. A man, well known in his COM
munity as a negro, was so white that
an expert would have found it hard to
classify him as a black man. This
man was riding in the part Of the train
set aside for the colOured passengers
When the train conductor reached him.
he showed at once that he was per-
picked. If the man were a negro. the
conductor did not want to send him in
to the coach occupied by the white
people, and If he were a white man.
the conductor did not want to insult
him by asking him IL he were a negro.
The official looked him over carefully,
examining his hair. eyes. nose. and
hands, but still seemed puzzled. Finally
he stopped over and peeped at the
mans feet. l Immediately said to my
self. "That will settle IT." and 50 Il
did, for the trainman promptly lert
him TO remain where he was.-From
