VIII ignore State Board.

The board of regents of the state
university has settled, so far as they
are concerned, their relation to the
state board of control. They will not
recognize the authority of the state
board OF control. The regents rely on
decision of Attorney-General Douglas,
which favors them. He gave his opin-
ion that not only are the regents not
under the new board, but that they
cannot legally even delegate their au-
thority to the state board This action
OF the board of regents will come as
relief to many friends Of the university,
who feel that it differs so much from
other state institutions as to render its
being placed with them under the iur-
lsdiction of the board of control in
furious rather than beneficial.
Work Is Stoppsd.
Work has suddenly stopped on dam
No. ?, in the river near Minnehaha.
Orders have been received from the
war department to discontinue work
on the dam until otherwise notified, al
though the work on the lock will 90
ahead as before. The real cause of the
action is said to lie in the fact that the
work cannot be completed for the sum
that was allowed for it. The lock will
easily come within the estimate, which
was 100000. The estimated cost of
the dam, however, was placed at $685.
600; while the recent Investigations
prove that it cannot be completed for
less than SOS, 900.

IT SHOULD CAUSE A BLUSH,

celebrations of a Yankee victory as
follows:
cat Newport, RI, June 10, the officers
of the battleship Keasarge, assisted
by the citizens, enjoyed big celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the sinking OF
the Confederate cruiser Alabama, by
the old Keasarge. There was a cele-
bration where history would have to be
ignored and point strained to pay
honor to the "heroism" or ''noble
achievement of Uncle Sans navy
Invited to fair combat by the little
wooden Alabama, the large Kear-
sarge committed the dlsreputable and
cowardly deception of going into action
with heavy concealed armor, and by
that deception and advantage alone
won the fight. It was victory that the
North ought to be ashamed Of

ITO THE MANNER BORN."

Several times lately we have seen
the statement in print that some per-
son under discussion was 'to the manor
born" The phrase thus used implied
that the individual referred to was
born a gentleman, or by birth and rear
ing was accustomed to the usages,
bearing and environment of gentlemen.
Recently in group of intelligent men
discussion arose over the use of this
phrase, and all of them except one in
sisted that ''manor"was the word used
IN the familiar quotation.
For the enlightenment of any others
who may be laboring under this mis-
conception we invite attention to the
fourth scene of the first act of Hamlet,
where the young Dane and his friend
Horatio are waiting the appearance of
the ghost. AS they stand discussing
the chill atmosphere of the night there
is flourish of trumpets and the sound
of firing ordnance within. Horatio In
quires:
What does this mean. my Iord?
Hamlet - "The king doth wake tonight
and takes his rouse,
Keeps wassel, and the staggering up
spring reels;
1l, ,f,1,
down,
The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray
out
The trumpet of his pledge
Horatio--Is IL a custom:
HamletAy, marry. is't:
But to my mind-though am native here,
And 20 the manner boru---it Is a custom
More honour'd in the breach than the
observance"
It will be seen that Hamlet refers
to the manner-the custom-and not to
the manor Though he was a native |
and born to the custom, nevertheless
he did not appove it. People who de-
sire to be correct in their literary quo
tations, therefore, will remember that
1t Is 'to the manner born, " and not to
the ''manor. Augusta Chronicle

A Classic Stage Signal.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There are a number of ways of giving the
signal which warns the leader of the theater
orchestra that the curtain is about TO rise.
The most common in American theaters Is
the illumination by electricity of a common
incandescent bulb placed in front of the
conductor. Many players. however, follow
the English custom of having the ring of a
bell as signal. This has the advantage OF
giving notice alike to the players behind
the curtain and the orchestra and the au-
d.ence in front.
Sir Henry Irving uses a double set of sig
mails, the first bell ringing minute before
the curtain is to rise and the second as it
begins to mount Mr. Mansfield generally
uses the same system, though the fact that
Henry W. is a series of pictures, with the
curtain falling frequently, has induced him
to discard it this year. The French players
employ the system but not the bells A
stout club raped loudly on the stage floor
does duty instead. Two raps constitute the
one-minute signal and three as the final no.
tice. The reason for the cumbersome meth
cd Is that of precedent, for the call is that
of the Theater Francois.

Never Drinks Pure Water.


People talk about actors being intemper-
ate" said the manager of the Lost River
company, "and they are right. We have
man in our company who hasn't drunk
drop of water for ten years. He is the first
man in the theater and as regular as clock
work at rehearsals and he isn't a rummy
In fact, liquor is repugnant to him. For
twenty-seven years he has drunk nothing
but tea. He has an alcohol stove which
fits in little pocket that he carries In
his coat pocket. When he wants a drink
he opens up the lamps and a long, narrow
flask that fits above the flame and makes
his tea. He has larger apparatus in his
dressing room and you will always find a
steaming kettle of tea in his room. His
portable outfit he uses on the trains and
al the hotels. Some of our people have got
the tea habit from association with him,
and IL his habit becomes more contagious
we'll have to set up gas stove to supply
the nightly demands for the tea drinkers.
The old man carries a bottle of cold tea
with him when he goes for a stroll or for
use when his portable cooking outfit cannot
be utilized"

The entire theatrical world of England
has been stirred to Indignation by the
knowledge of a fact just disclosed that
Shakespeare's church al Stratford-on-
Avon. where his remains lie under the IA
nous malediction, is in debt for $500. The
London Morning Post has opened sub
scription for fund to pay off this debt,
and many AMI generous have already been
the contributions to it. The following Wig
orous letter from Wilson Barrett, accom-
panying a check for $50, is typical of most
of the communications. He writes from
Monte Carlo to the editor of the Post:
In consequence of my absence from Eng
land your appeal for the money to free
Shakespeare's church. from debt has only
now been read by me, and with it Miss
Marie Corellis admirable letter on the
same subject AS one of many who have
found Shakespeare's works source of
great profit. beg you to place the inclosed
TOO to the Morning Post fund. L, in COM
mon with my professional brethren, have
paid no authors fees for the performance
of Shakespeare's sublime works, and my
contribution may be accepted as conscience
money and payment of debt to the poets
memory. Miss Marie Corelli aptly calls it
"a national debt l agree with her entire
iy. The old convenient evasion of appeal
for monument to Shakespeare. viz, that
he lives forever in his works, and needs no
monument will rot hold good in this case.
Shakespeare's church-and with it his
Srave-is in debt, otherwise in pledge, for
a heggary goo. This national debt is a
national disgrace. In no other country in
the civilized world could such thing be
possible. The church. Shakespeare'S house
and Ann Hathaway's cottage should be the
property and care of the nation. If the ma
ton refused to do its duty and acquire
these precious mementos of her greatest
son, at least one may be permitted to hope
that the public will subscribe enough to get
his bones out of pawn. Yours. etc,

Origin of the skirt Dance.

from the cincinnati enquirer
Somebody has been discussing the origin
OF the skirt dance. which has just begun to
lose its old popularity. not only on the
stage. but in drawing rooms as we'll. The
management OF the multitudinous skirts
could be discreet that young women
danced in them In drawing rooms, and this
diversion came to be regarded as wholly
proper. But the skirt dance has of late
years lost much of its popularity. Even on
rhe stage its most skillful performers have
varied their methods. and simple graceful
ness is thing of the past. The woman
who invented the dance seems to have been
moro famous than anybody supposed. II
was no less person than Emma Hart Of
London. Lord Nelson's Lady Hamilton.
That is the person Francisque Sarcey has
selected as the real originator of the dance.
