For play of admitted weakness in
construction. Janice Meredith" is in
teresting "moastrously." Moreover
it has about il d drawing power that is
phenomenal, second to none of the con-
tinental creations with which the stage
has been surfeited during the past few
seasons.
Janice Meredith" was especially ap-
propriate for presentation on Washing
toms birthday. It drew 10 the Theatre
yesterday afternoon a typical holiday
crowd and one that packed the Theatre
from the roof down. There had been a
good deal of specula ton as to how
Blanche Walsh would depict the SOU
brettish revolutionary heroine. Those
who thought we'll of the proposition
were not in any way disappointed.
II could be urged that Miss Walsh.
owing TO her long experience in emo
tiOnal roles, has not the vivacity that
would give to the character the full
! recklessnesS and abandon that made
Janice famous. That Miss Walsh is
more serious than Miss Mannering
goes without saying, but that her in
/ depreciation suffers by this seriousness
is another question. Ford 5 heroine
could not have been so emotional as
/ Miss Walsh at times. That much is
undoubtedly true. Ford, however. did
not draw an absolutely unimprOvable
! character. That is why so much that
: is praiseworthy was seen in Miss
/ Walsh's work.
The enthusiasm was plentiful and
/ genuine. At every mention Of Wash

The appearance of Henry Irving and
Miss Ellen Terry in This country calls
serious attention to the fact that these
distinguished players are about the
only famous tragedians on the English
speaking stage. The reason of this
dearth of actors either able or willing
to devote themselves to the highest
form of their art is not easy to dis
Germ. Certainly il cannot be that the
rewards are not tempting enough, as
both fame and fortune have come to
Irving and Terry. Nor has it been
generally true that only one great
tragedian has appeared in a single pc
riOd. The history of the stage in both
England and America shows many
long and bitter struggles for suprema-
cy between players of almost equal
talent. 1t viii be remembered that it
was only after such a contest between
Edmund Kean and the elder Booth in
London that the latter migrated II this
country and thus gave to it the glory
of being the birthplace of his greatest
! son. Edwin.
It cannot be adduced as a reason for
the existing state of affairs that aC-
tors are less intellectual. cultured or
well bred than formerly. Genius, 1t
would seem. is independent of aver
ages. but whatever the causes, the fact
! remains that Irving is the last of 4
! long line Of tragedians that the En-
( gIish stage has boosted since the time
/ of Burbage and Davenport down
( through all the Kembles Edmund
! Kean. Booth Macready and Phelps
! the last Irving's most immediate
| predecessor.
Solitary and unapproachable as is
/ Irving among the men of the English
! speaking stage. equally remarkable is
| Ellen Terry among the women. There
was some lapse/of time between Helen
/ Fawcitt'S retirement from profession
M work Though she occasionally re
appeared for Il few performances and

| But for over twenty years Miss Terry
has been the foremost of English
speaking actresses. whether in comedy
/ or tragedy. and she remains a perpet-
ual JOY.

Tetai reduction ...... ..........Sl. .So4 s57 .43 Z These figures present an easy solution 9f the deficit which necessarily occurred in the State finances. They solve the magical power claimed for Governor 5ohnston. Everybody knows that the main portion of the receipts of the State rreasury arise from taxes upon real and nersonal property. If the State Treasury had had the benefit of the additional saxss arising from an annual tax rate cf i-2 miles during the foregoing seven years, amounting as shown above to $.- eo4.ss7 s. the Governors in office during that period would have had a jolly good lime.

DECLARES CATHOLIC VOTES WERE SOLD TO MARK HANNA
Rev. T. J. Morgan Makes Sensational Attack on Archbishop Ireland at
 Baptist Meeting in St. Paul.

St. Paul (Minn) Special.
 The Rev. T. J. Morgan, Correspondine Secretary of the Baptist Home Mission Society today made a sensational attack upon Archbishop Ireland whom he ae- cused of having bargained with senator Hanna for the Catholic vote.
 The Archbishop was asked this evening for his opinion of MT. Morgans ailega- tions
 .I shali not condescend to reply to such q statements' was the Archbishop's only answer.
 Mr Morgan, in his address today. said:
 Archbishop Ireland wields tremen- dous power in politics which he is using for the Roman Church. I cannot prove 1t nbsolutcIy. n but am morally cert:jn that in the last election Mark Hanna. repre- seating the Republican party. of which l am member. formally agreed with Archbishop Ireland representng great mass of voters, that in consideration of turning over these votes to the Repuoli- can paIey. the Ron,-n Church would be given concessions in the Indian schools. And when issues arose thereafter, and Indian officials were inclined to oppose the claims of the Romanist with regard t0>the Indians, they were told by higher authority that the bargain had been made and must he carried out"
 Mir Morgans attack was the subject ot private discussion among the delegates after the session closed. and 1t was the impression that the end had not vet be sn beard of the accusation against the Ar:h- bishop of St Paul and tbc Chairman or the Republican National Committee.

one or more papers have recently con- tained boasts of the results of the marvel GUS management of the financial affairs of the State by Hon. Joseph F. Johnston during his two terms of office. as Gov srnor. The ex-Governors friends would have the public believe that 1t was by some magical power, not possessed by any other person who has filled that great ofice. that Governor Johnston pro- duced an increase in the receipts of the State Treasury during his four years in ofice. But when the simple processes of arithmetic are applied to the probied 1t is easily demonstrated that the in- crease was nothing more than the most natural one. Let us see! The tax rate h 1s7s was 1-2 mills. It was reduced from time to time until 1t reached mills Tn 1s9o It remained at 4 mills untill 1893
 when 1t was increased to mills. It was increased In 1895 to 5 1-2 nistis, where 1t has remained. It was 1-2 mills dur Ing the four years that Governor John- ston was in office.

TROUT IN LAKE SUPERIOR.
Bigger Than the Eastern Fish and
 More Numerous.

NdW IOrk sun.
 In few day the legal season at trout fishing in the Lake Superior reglon will open, but the Lake win not warm to the proper temperature before the middle of May, or even the first of June These are waters comparatively unfished and the from them. Much the greater part of that region Is still aiven up to the lum- herman or to nature, The towns are small and few. and though the territory Is reached easly by rail, 1t Is not visited by the swarms of rodmea that effect the well-known streams of the east.
 There are so many little rivers and creeks emptying into Lake Superior. they falls and other bits of water loved by trout, and the facilities afforded the fish for breeding are so many and undisturbed that there will be good angling in that region long after the trout has become only memory in eastern waters
 It is a singular thing that all streams debouching into Superior contain trout and streams of that part of the world which does not debouch into Superior contains trout. On the other hand, all the waters connectedi with the Missis- sippi system. wether they be lakes or rivers hold muskallonse and the Supe- rior< stream does not.
 This distribution appears to be entirely accidental. and 1t seems queer that the fish commissions have not rectitied 1t. There is nothing inimical to trout for in- stance, in the Flambeau or Manitowish streams. which are Misssissippi streams and no special reasons why lakes con nected with Lake Superior should not have muskallonge. Indeed. all of those waters appear to be fitted to furnish homes to game fish. All of the trout which have been takep from the Pacific slope. the rainbow and Mt. Shasta spe- cies. have done we'll in Superior rivers where they have been properly handled.
 The red -speckled fighters will be ris- ing to the fly in the great lake region certainly after June 1. Because those streams have not been whipped from end to end for years the fish taken run much larger than in other regions.
 A trout of a half-pound is often thrown back in the neighborhood of Ashland, Wis. or in fact anywhere near the south ern shore of the lake. A mans basket at ths days end wiii often average more than pound and half. Takes of two pounds and more are freauent. After larger individuals captured is small oc. casiohally., however, in some deep, dark shaded by trees of the prin1eval growth. Slant rises lazilv to the Ay. then surges

down and out with it. Some of these chaps are so old that small line moss may be found on their bun brown shoul- ders and they have temper enough to fight to the last.
 They run from to 1-2 pounds. That amount of brook trout on the end of a thin silk line. with only the small hook of a trout fly fastened into the corner ot it's jaw and only light rod to control it's movement, will furnish lots of em- pioyment to the best man that ever made a cast.
 In the Superior region there is a grow. ing sentiment against, large catches 0 [ trout, but the wester" idea of large catch is not the eastern idea. A man would not think he ad done anNthing exceptional by taking 25 pounds of trout from Lake Suoerior stream in day. Indeed. this might mean easily only catch of a dozen fish and that IS not a great number to reward the angler who has waded and cast from early morn to sunset. .- q, I strong charm which comes from contact with nature undehled.
