~rHE ONLY AND ORIGINAL"

However bad may be the crops, how
ever hard may be the times, however
disastrous m ay be the theatrical season,
there is one production that never falters
or falls by the wayside. 1t expands or
contracts to suit conditions. 1t car
ries five people or fifty. In good times
the people in the street parade walk
double file. fifty feet apart. In hard
times they walk single file, a hundred
feet apart. The procession is always
the same length. In hard times they
lead one hungry canine in the parade.
In good times they have a whole pack.
1t goes under the name of
1.-The Only and Original Uncle Toms
Cabin"
1t has other names, but this is the
baptismal one. To add to the grandeur
of the performance, the manager has
only to double" his characters. He
may have two Topsies, two little Evas
Marks No. L. Marks No. 2, a double
heaven with real angels. If the man
ager is a plunger he may even intro
duce few characters entirely new and
unique to his show. He may have a
deacon to make love to Miss Ophelia.
He may add a fine collection of buck
and-wing dancers under the general
title of Slaves of St Claire" He may
drag in some trick ponies. an Irish
buffoon or two, some silly girls in tarla-
tan skirts to turn summersaults on the
stage, or in fact any decrepit old stage
curios which happen to be on the bar
gain counter.
Give me a rest from the Uncle Toms
Cabin of these modern improvements
People are longing for the pure and
primeval Uncle Toms Cabin; for the
one which was written by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, not the one culled from
dime museums, dance halls and thu
kennels of evergrown and sleepy mas
tiffs. Such revival of the real Uncle
Toms Cabin is now drawing inmen~a
crowds in New York. The best actors

and actresses are presenting the drama
in a. legitimate manner, and it is one of
the great successes of the season.
There never was written book more
susceptible to powerful dramatic treat
ment than Mrs. Stoves masterpiece. IT
abounds in the play of human passions.
1t is believed with tears of pathos. 1t
sparkles with wit and humor 1t is
living fire hedged in with ice" Never
was there drawn a more fendish char
acter than that of Simon Legree. Never
a more thoroughly funny one than
Topsy. And there is the COOL vengeful,
heart-broken Cassie; the business-like,
brutal Haley; the sneaking. treacherous
Marks. Gentle Eva, brave old Uncle
Tom, and generous st. Claire, stand as
antitheses of so much wickedness. Who
can imagine that grim old Vermont
spartan, Miss Ophelia, flirting with a
deacon? Or Lawyer Marks dancing
rag-time while Little Eva pats de
juba?" The incongruities of the mod
ern version of Uncle Toms Cabin are
the only elements of wit which the
naked eye can detect in it.
When the real, genuine Uncle Toms
Cabin comes to Topeka, it will have to
have strong credentials as to its char
acter. People will be slow to believe
that they are not again being fooled by
the well worn legend,

WHY SHE LEFT HOME.
Refined Young Woman Employed as
a Hotel Dishwasher.

Cumberland, Nd. Jan. 4.-Ten days
ago Jennie Boyer, aged II years. of
near McKeesport, Pa, came here and
secured a situation as dishwasher in a
hotel Her refined manners caused
much comment among the boarders.
She was often found crying, but refus-
ed to say why she had left home.
Today her father, who had discovered
his daughters whereabouts after much
trouble, arrived, when it was learned
that the girl had left her home because
her parents refused to allow her to
keep company with a young man. She
seemed glad to see her father, who is
well-to-do merchant, but refused to ac-
company him home until he promised
that she might marry the man of her
choice within six months. She is very
pretty and when not engaged in wash
ing dishes entertained the boarders by
playing the piano.

AID TO C0NFEDERATES
Richardson, the Democratic Leader,
Does Not Believe In Govern
ment Assurance.
Nes0 Yosb lSsss, Special Servdoe

Washington, Jan. 24-Mr. Richardson
of Tennessee is not one of those southern
democrats who believe that Confederate
soldiers are entitled to aid from the ma
tional government. He was Confeder-
ate soldier, and served from the begin
ming to the end Of the war. He enter
tains a deep sympathy for his compan-
ions in arms, but he does not believe that
they have right to expect or accept aid
from the government which they fought
to disrupt. When the other Richardson,
who halls from Alabama, was pressing
upon the consideration Of the house a
bill to establish soldiers homes in the
south to which Union and Confederate
soldiers in INDECENT circumstances might
be admitted on equal terms, Richardson
of Tennessee raised his voice in protest
In dialogue with Mr.. Rixey Of Virginia,
he said:
The federal soldier Is admitted to these
homes because he fought to preserve the
union. Now are you going to admit Con-
federate soldiers because they fought to de-
stroy the union? That is what he did.
Mr.. Rixey-I understand that.
Mr.. Richardson-Are you going to admit
him because he fought to destroy the union
That is the question.
