MISS STONES RETURN.
A Mystery in Her Case Never Yet Ex-
plained.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Il llldbtAliAAd III
Miss Stone has arrived in the country
which paid so dear for her ransom. and
While she seems disposed 10 attribute her
release to prayer rather than TO American
gold, there is no doubt that in her heart
she is grateful TO those who generously
went down into their pockets 10 liberate
her from the ''brigands.' She comes home
bottled up with material for books and
lectures and will give out little or nothing
concerning her adventures until she can
protect herself by copyright law.
What the returned missionary said on
the wharf. however, together with infor-
nation previously in hand. makes il very
clear that she has really experienced a sea-
son Of captivity I'm Macedonia Is TO what
use has been made OF the money subscribed
TO secure her freedom, she does not seem TO
know, and as she does not recognize that
any has changed hands IL might, perhaps.
be well for those who supplied the large
sum to appoint a committee 10 ascertain
where il has gone. Did IL go 70 Mr.. Tsilka.
TO spread the fires Of revolution against
Mohammedanism. or how has IL been dis
posed of anyhow?
Miss Stone has told enough in spite Of
her resolve not TO take the keen edge of
the interest OF future members OF her lee
ture audiences TO show that she met with
very polite treatment at the hands Of the
"brigands." They insisted that she should
have a chaperon in captivity. whereupon
they seized Mime. Tsilka, a younger wom-
an, to serve as a kind OF lady's companion
in the dark hours 10 be spent in future
caves. At last we know why two mission
aries were taken instead of one. IL was not
with a view 10 obtaining a larger ransom.
but TO observe all the necessary rules with
respect to single women when they fall
into the hands OF thieves. Tsilka himself
had a revolver. but IL was useless 10 make
a show of resistance and he was left to
mourn the sudden disappearance Of his
spouse.
Thus does the great plot unfold. The
State Department has been appealed q. in
the hope that II would become an agency

paid 10 the ~''brigands." II should first ex-
ert itself TO determine who received the
money and TO what use IL has been ap-
piled.

Mrs. CampbeII's Visit.

Norman HapgoOd. who writes sound dra-
matte criticism for the Bookman and the
New York Commercial Advertiser. summed
up Mrs. Patrick Campbelrs visit to New
York as follows:
Mrs. Campbell has now produced in
New York half a dozen dramas and ap-
peared in as many parts. There can be no
better influence on our theateT; there is,
indeed. no actor on the English speaking
stage to-day whose influence is in a better
direction. che exact degree of her talent
is another and a subordinate question. She
has shown great understanding, taste,
originality, flexible talent. and in
such scenes as the burning of the
Bible in the notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith, a
high degree Of nervous and emotional in
tensity. What she has not shown this time
and what we may hope other parts Will
draw out of her on another visit. is the
inspiratiOnal side of acting. the big flashes
of Imagination, like lightning at night, or
a passion in its intense purity. That self
surrender Of genius may come another
time. Meanwhile, whether it is there or
not, we have had something which we
need, even mOre-the spectacle of an ac-
tress who insists on producing plays that
are important and stimulating in the world
Of ideas, producing them with entire de-
vOtiOn to the spirit, whether il be PinerO,
Sudermann, Maeterlinck or BjornsOn. and
controlling and managing the stage herself
with absolute lack of personal obtrusion,
having every detail, as far as possible. in
its just plane, with none of the distortion
of the stage that is often made by the
greatest acting geniuses. In three weeks
here she has clearly raised the general
estimate of Pinero, stimulated an interest
in two continental dramatists of rare tall
emit. and stirred up the kind Of discussion
of dramatic art which is what our stage
most needs"
Mrs. Campbell and her company will give
a performance Of Pinero's THE Second
Mrs. Tanqueray" at English's tomorrow
night.

SOME NEW AMERICAN STATES.
Mr.. C~arnegie's Prediction that Eng
land VIII Join Us.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Mr.. Carnegie has been talking again, and,
as usual. he is Interesting. He has been
interpreting Cecil RhOdes's will. and we
fancy ii will not be pleasant reading for all
British statesmen or the mass of the peo-
pie. He holds that Great Britain is sure
TO come into the United States and says:
There is no other destiny possible for
the United Kingdom. She must look across
the Atlantic TO the children of her own
blood and finally enter the Union as six or
eight Sta~teS-ScOtland, Ireland and Wales,
each one, and England divided into two,
perhaps three
Mr.. Carnegie is not worried because some
people think he is a dreamer. He claims
that he has been so successful as a prophet
that he can afford to pass by the sneers of
to-day, being assured that all will come
out in the end as he predicts. AT any rate
1t is a big job he has carved out for the
future, and we must say that when the
time m there will be some features of
the situation not easy to adjust, such as
the peerage, colonial possessions and a few
thousand customs that have come down
from the dark ages. But Mr.. Carnegie is
not afraid of them. They will disappear,
he thinks. in the inevitable merger of the
British empire in the bosom of the Ameri-
can Republic.
This would work out for Uncle Sam quite
a family and very much according to the
views of William T. Stead in his latest
book, which we have heretofore referred
TO. 1T would make the United States look
something like this:

THE RULE OF SOBRIETY.


Portland OregOnian.
Practical temperance reform took a nota-
BILE step forward when, a few weeks back.
the Union Pacific Railroad management
made an order to the effect that no man
who frequented drinking saloons, while
either on or off duty, could remain in the
service of the company. Everywhere along
the Union Pacific lines there followed a
sudden decline in saloon patronage, and at
Cheyenne, Wye, the chief center of rail-
road labor on the transcontinental route,
twenty-five drinking places shut their doors
within a few days. This incident illustrates
co~nspicuously a principle which is now be-
ing very generally enforced First, the
ban was put upon the ~drunkard; now the
line is being drawn against the occasional
and moderate drinker, who is regarded as
an i~ncipient drunkard. The great railroad
companies led off in the movement. and
their example is being followed by en-
ployerS in every situation where large re-
sponsibility is involved or where a clear
head and a steady hand are essential TO
efficiency.
The progress of industry and the pres
sure of competition have practically elimi-
mated the drunkard. When industry was
on an individual basis, il was possible to
get along" in some sort with partially
efficient men. but under modern conditions
this Is no longer true. IN inefficient man
or a man not dependable is a nuisance in
any relation. In the railroad service his
lapse of attention or judgment may result
in the most serious disaster; in factory,
one man not up TO his work may hold
back g score or hundred of his fellow-work-
men, and he is certain to destroy the dis
cipline upon which the general competence
OF a working force depends. Under these
conditions there is no room for the drink
ing man and no tolerance for the man who,
through the saloon habit, is in the way
Of becoming a drunkard.
The principle applies to professional as
well as TO other forms of labor. We used
TO hear of famous lawyers, doctors, gen
erals and statesmen with an infirmity OF
'self-indulgence; but such men are heard
of no more. Nobody now employs in any
relationship of responsibility. i'm any duty
calling for steadiness and judgment, a man
who cannot be relied upon for the best
that is in him at any time. The fashion
of the world has changed, and il has
changed not in response to any merely SEN
timental feeling. but from a conviction en-
forced by many and painful experiences
that the drinking man, whether he be a
drunkard or "A mere occasional tippler. Is
a dangerous man. So important a change
is having, naturally, an important effect
upon social and domestic manners. The
social club is no longer a place where ex-
cessive drinking is tolerated; no decent man
becomes fuddled with wine at dinner: in
respectable social circles. no matter of what
rank, there is no liberation of those prac-
TIGERS OF excess which no less than twenty
years ago were common If not general.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-04-17

These at present have a population of
about 10,O00,O0 souls, and if we allow
twenty years for the cOnsummation TO take
place they should number more than $780,
100000. OF course the colonies would have
to come along. and we should have an adj
ditional population of more than $50, 600, 600,
which would make a total of more than
4O0,OOO,OOO, or easily the greatest nation on
the face of the earth. This looks like such
a big undertaking that il will not carry
conviction in all quarters. Nevertheless it
is no more extraordinary than has been
our national development in the last
hundred years, and it is not in order for
anyone in these days to say that it is
impossible.
1t is "A fact that historians and philos-
ophers of the British Kingdom have for
some years predicted that some such sort of
an arrangement will eventually take place.
1t is certain that as we are now the ma
ton with the greatest English-speaking
population, in fact having the largest eau
casian population and one that increases
faster than any other, the hegemony of ma
lions will continue TO be ours in greater
measure.
If such n combination ever does come it
will be because American ideas and Ameri-
can Institutions are the best for the hu-
man race, and let las hope that 1t will be a
signal for peace among the nations.

SOUTHERN INDIANA LAND.
Senator f. H.. WoIcott Talks of His
Recent Purchase.

Senator f. IL. Wolcott was In town last
night on his way to his home at Wolcott,
Ind, from southern Indiana. The senator
is doing a little specializing in land in the
White river valley and thinks he has
struck it right" He has purchased about
LOO acres of land i'm southern Indiana for
speculative purposes. The land is i'm the
Whitewater valley" he said, land 1 be-
lieve it is rich and productive. The wheat
fields in that part of the State are most
beautiful TO look at. Up in our part of the
country one has to pay 800 an acre for land
and l can buy ii for about half thai
amount in some parts of southern Indiana.
As a matter of fact, the land down there
Is just as good as the land we have north.
and the people ought to be able to double
the value of their land" The senator says
a progressive spirit is already making itself
felt in the locality where his land is stu
ated and they are beginning TO build gravel
roads. The senator is very enthusiastic
over the condition of the land in northern
Indiana and particularly in his locality.
Drainage and macadam roads nave done
wonders for u.s." he remarked.
