CONTRIBUTE.

It has often been the pleasure Of The
Republic to call the attention Of COM
passionate St Louisans to the work Of
the Fresh Air Mission.
This summers intense record break
ing heat has focused extraordinary labor
IN the hands Of the men and women en-
gaged In relieving the sufferings OF the
children in the crowded districts Of the
city.
For that reason, the support Of the
public should be more liberal than ever
before. Those engaged in the work
give their time and money freely, as
Stunning burdens which can only bt
lightened by assistance from generous
and sympathetic public.
On the last river excursion to Monte
sano 1000 children were treated to 8
days enjoyment that would have beer

attended to their comforts. Thousand

Mrs. +. w. Humphrey is dangerously Ill
at her residence. No. 4i53 Laclede avenue,
and friends are apprehersive as to the out
come. Mrs. Humphreys illness dates back
two weeks. and at first was thought to be
trifiing. hut complications have lately re-
suited. which, combined with the extreme
heat, have given rise to grave fears that
she may not be able to rally. On Tuesday
afternoon she was very low, and the at
tending physicians were not encouraging in
their reports.
Mrs. Humphreys friends in the West
End are many and during the short period
of her illness have been soctious in their
attentions and inquiries. No woman in the
social world is better known than she. Her
former house in Lindell boulevard now oc-
cupied by the Charles o. Drummonds. was
for years center of gayety, with Mrs.
Humphrey for Its radiant point. Her hos
pitality and cordiality were marked. and
made for her more friends than almost any
matron in the city.

HOMES WITHOUT BLooDsHED.


In the orderly and law-abiding man.
ner Of distributing the lands Of the new
ly opened Kiowa-Comanche Territory
there is pleasing contrast to the scenes
of riot and bloodshed witnessed in the
DAYS of the sooner rush some years
ago.
Under the discarded system of declar-
ing lands open to claim and settlement
an a certain date, and then permitting
mad and reckless scramble for occupa-
ton. premium on violence was offered.
The bad man." the land-thief, the
blu6ing desperate, held the winning
hand in such q contest. 1t was ineyi-
table that there should be violent con-
fiict and ruthless robbing under such
conditions.
The Government is to be commended
for the change Of system which is now
producing such good results. All home
seekers. at the scene Of the distribution
are on an even footing. The lottery.
drawing lie fairly conducted. The lucky
one Of every thirteen claimants for each
claim is protected in his or her rights
There is no dispnting Of these rights
and no attempt at intimidation. A
woman gains a home as easily as the
boldest man. The spectacle is pleasant
to contemplate.

ciied that if the product of their brain
makes money they want some OF it. and
what is more, they intend to get it.
OF late there have been number of dis
putes between French authors ard Ameri-
can managers and actors over the question
OF royalties.
Much irritation has been engendered and
as the outcome. a number of the principal
writer's for the French stage have banded
together for their common protection to
preserve their rights in their plays and for
the collection Of royalties in America.
meeting was held to-day which was ar
ranged by NJ. Gustave Roger, general repre-
sentative of the Societe des Autenrs ct

Hummel, the well-known New York
lawyer who represents the authors. has
been given n number of original docu-

Immediately upon his return to the United

Richepn of $500 forfeit for the nonproduc-
ton of his play based upon the life of
Nine. Dubarry.
Before the end of the approaching
dramatic season. said Mr.. Hummel. 1.-The
courts of the United States will deter
| mine the rights of French authors to roy
alties on productions and translations OF

necessary by the refusal of certain actors
and managers to pay royalties to French
| authors. The recent triumphs of 'Zaza,'
| 'Cyrano de Bergerac and 'L'AiGlon' have
encouraged French authors to take steps
| to secure their interests The meeting just
| held is the beginning of this movement"
