THE REFERENDUM.

Judge Jonathan Ross Explains the
Method and It's Effect
In reply to inquiries made by repre-
sentative of the Vermont Womans Suf-
frage association concerning the pro-
posed referendum of a license law to the
people by the Legislature, Hon. Jonathan
Ross replies in part as follows:
81 suppose what is proposed by the resolu-
ton of the Vermont republican convention is
an expression of opinion on the subject Of
high license and local option in preference to
the prohibitory law. The people cannot en-
act nor repeal law by direct vote. That
must be done through the legislature. If the
legislature desires to obtain their views on any
subject further than it is expressed through
the members of legislature it can do so in any
manner it may select, to all the voters or to
all the people to be affected thereby of GER
tain age. ! think the women of age ought to
be consulted as much as the men. As a rule
they are more seriously affected by the "drink
habit of the men. In my judgment the bot
tom cause of more than half the divorces
with the disastrous family results following
come from the husbands drinking. Many
crimes and much poverty come from the same
habit
In 1882 the form of referendum used wa:
this: The legislature enacted the prohibitory
law, to take effect the following March, if tn,
majority of the voters in the state SO voted a
meeting to be held, think, in February. |
the majority was against its taking effect thel
the law was not to take effect until after tn,
next session of the legislature, SO it could re
peal the law, in accordance with the wishe
| of the majority IL lies entirely with the leo

The king and queen of Roumania are
about to establish little theaters in all
the rural communes of their kingdom.
In these theaters the villagers will
give once or twice week, moral plays,
having as their object the incubation
of religious and social precepts. The
first of the theaters will be built on
one of the royal estates.
Charles Wyndham, the actor, who
has recently been knighted by King
Edward, made his first appearance on
any stage as an actor at Mrs. John
Woods Olympic theater in New York.
A story has been preserved showing
that stage fright and inexperience
combined to make his premier most
discouraging occasion. In certain
love scene he was expected to say:
Dearest, l am drunk with that en-
thusiasm of love which but once in a
lifetime fills the soul of man" But
the young actor, overwhelmed with
nervousness, could only exclaim:
Dearest, 1 am drunk" and there
stuck fast, to the great amusement of
the audience.
No drama in the theatrical history
of London has made such profound
impression upon the great mass of
English theater going people as ben
Hur," and the stamp of royal approval
set upon it by the visits of the king
and queen and the royal family have
given it great vogue all over Great
Britain. The Drury Lane theater is
conducted by a stock company, of
which the duke of Bedford, the great
est real estate owner and wealthiest
man in England, is the head. Shortly
after the production of "Ben Hur"
Drury Lane shares advanced sharply
in the market, to the qualification of
the 113 stockholders. who last year re-
ceived a dividend of 35 per cent. The
London Telegraph attributes this adj
vance solely to the success of Ben

A connection between thunder

claimed by meteorologists. Some
months ago a greater frequency OF
such storms at new moon than al

other inquiry it appears that Madrid
