TOO REALISTIC,

When Mime, Rejane, in Ma Cou- sine" played the best part of an act sitting on sofa, most playgoers, irritated with the inconsistent way in which English actors run about the stage-to break up the picture as they call it--when in real life the people they represent would be quiet raVed with delight and hoped that the innoVa tion would catch on" Alas, they hoped and have gone on hoping lnValn! !!

For the few performances she gave at the Royalty Theatres there were large audiences, but beautiful as Mrs Campbell undoubtedly looked as a chronic invalid it is doubtful whether even she could secure any permanent consideration for a play which non enthusiastic playgoer after sitting 1t ont said he was sure had had it's title incorrectly translated. for he believed that the play ought to have been called "Reyond Human Endurance.

they call themselves, Terrorists' Theirs is a cult of crime. Their deeds of violence are not political offences. Politics is that part of ethics which has to do with the government of state. We cannot predicate politics ot the violent deeds of anarchists, for crim- inal anarchist believes and teaches the overthrow or destruction of all govern ment by violence Every government of necessity must hold that the use or force and violence to destroy that gov ernment is a crime. Murder and treason are usually punished with death The death penalty with more reason should be inflicted upon those who wilfully kill, or attempt to kill, the head of the state, The death penalty is the best defence government has against anarchist assassins. It is said this punishment will not put an end to the crime. Neither has capital pun ishment made an end of treason or murder No government dare let these crimes go unpunshed for this reason. No punishment extirpates crime. The death penalty for those who Wilfully kill the head of the state and for all ac- cessories before the fact is the severest punishment and the most likely to de- ter men with a homicidal mania, Even though many of these fiendish fanatics regard such punishment as martyrdom, it is still the wisest course. Govern ment can do not otherwise. At this time congress should provide by law that the person or persons who will fully kill or assault with intent to kill, the president or vice-president or any officer upon whom the powers and du- ties of the office of president may de- volve under the constitution and laws, shall be guilty of felony and be pun ished with death, be tried in the Fede- ral courts, and sentence be executed by Federal authority. Accessories before the fact should be punished with death. Accessories after the fact should be punished with death or imprisonment- Senator McComas in Leslie's Weekly

THE GREEN HORSES OF VENICE

THE GREEN HORSES OF VENICE
 It is a popular joke to say that there are but six horses in Venice, four over the portico of St Marks Cathedral and two bronze animals of heroic size, one hestrode by Victor Emmanuel and the other by Gen. Colleone. But this IS mistake.
 There are four other horses, also Of bronze, in the Church of St. John ana St Paul, and quite a number or ulaster and marble in the different nublic buildings, making altogether at least fifteen or sixteen. Ruskin and other competent critics have declared the statue of Colleone to be the best eauestrain monument ever cast in bronze. It was designed and cast by Andrea Verrocchio, painter, sculptor ieweller. engraver, poet and musician, a man of infinite genius, whose great est fame lies in the fact that he was the instructor of the greatest artists of all centuries Michael Angelo RaphaeI and Leonardo di Vinci. The statue of Victor Emmanuel is not so highly thought of
 The horses on the top of St. Mark s are famous and have had a trying experience They date back into the prehistoric age and are supposed to be the work of a Greek artist named Lyssippus, and designed for a sculpt- ured chariot They were taken to Rome during the Empire and first used as ornaments upon a triumphal arch

ENTERTATNN ENTS,
uyperion Theater.

That splendid realistic rural play way Down East" that far surpasses all such plays on the road to-day was presented at the Hyperion last night before a packed house which, if much larger. would have called out the Standing Room Only sign. The play is the same, of course, which was pre- sented here with such unusual success last season except for several changes in the cast which certainly improved the action of the pl<N to a decided ex- tent.
 "Way Down East is beyond doubt the deserving successor of "The Old Homestead" in the popular favor, and far exceeds that interesting play in dramatic interest and truthfulness of portrayal Ii would be almost fruitless to go through the cast, but Scott Coop CT as Squire Amassa Bartlett" Philip Yale Drew as David Bartlett" his son, and Frank Nelson as "Hi Hollister' de- serve more than passing mention. The ouartette this year is far better than ttat cf Inst. and the'r e0rgs alone arH almost show in themselves, In few words Way Down East" Is far better than ever before and the crowded house last night is a proof of it, There will be a matinee to-day and a performance this evening.

Catfish
i'm a Jug...

Rev. Ezra Snsth. who rides a Meth
odist circuit in Southwestern Texas,
has a fish story which he tells only
when sure of his company. He is not
only man of God, but is naturally
truthful. and those who know him best
say that he never told a lie in his
life.
He is gaunt, hard-muscled and Sc
rlous. He has temper which he con-
trolls by gripping it with both hands
and holding it down. When his story
Is doubted he gets dark-red of face and
tells it only when sure of his listeners
This is the story:
Two years ago l was in cabin on
the bank of the lower Guadalupe:
kept there because the river was full
and l could not cross. l thought to

hooks hung from pieces of line each a

mile, baited with chicken liver, swung

at sharp angle before the lead struck

over here. They go in most cases to
meet a man about "a deal" to talk
over the business of the day and dis
cuss the business of the morrow, or to
read up the finance of the papers. The
result is that when an American be-
comes a member of an English club he
hardly ever uses it because its ways

Extraordinary
Fish Story

In less than ten seconds 1 got a bite.
I sunk the gaff into him hard and
began to haul in, hand over hand. He
came heavy and slow, like other cat
fish, and l felt good.
When l got the last hook from the
water / saw that two-gallon jug hung
to 1T. Then i didn't feel good.
dragged the jug upon the bank and
stopped to get the hook out of it's
mouth, but it was caught and held
something inside.
Il supposed that it was caught on
weeds, took a rock and broke the jug.
On the hook, fastened through the up
per lip, was blue catfish that weighed
more than two pounds.
Now, you know me and my calling.
There amt but one explanation of this
thing. Some fellow threw the jug into
the river long time before. 1t sank
to the bottom and lay with its mouth
upstream
"A baby catfish went into it one day
and stayed in it. living on such food
as drifted IN, until it got too big to
get out. 1t lived in the jug and grew.
Maybe some day it would have burst
the jug. l don't know. My last hook
landed against the jugs mouth, drifted
in and the bite followed.
"M5, sir, l didn't think to keep the
jug as reminder, and ! ate that cat
fish. He was as good fish as I ever
tasted"
