WOMEN SHOULD PROPOSE.

A minister of a Congregational Church in Missouri recently caused sensation by suggesting in an interview thar wo- men should propose marriage. He is quoted as saying:
 .sThe idea seems to have always been that women are dependent upon the men. There is no reason why this opinion should not be removed. Let them become men's economic equals. and then they can do the proposing themselves. instead of waiting for the man to come along and ask them to become their wives. Right now women do not usually let men propose to them until they are ready. and there is no reason why they should not have and exercise the same right of proposing as men,

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 6.-since No
vember II, when an earthquake occurred In
southern Utah and as far north as Salt
Lake, there have been daily shocks felt In
the extreme southeastern portion Of the
state.
According to advices received from Pine
Valley, a hamlet in the mountains of Wash
ington county, not a day has passed since
that day that at least one earthquake shock
has not been felt, and serious alarm is
being felt for the safety Of the place.
Every chimney in the town has been
badly cracked or completely tumbled over,
At Pinto the shocks have been so severe
that the public school has been abandoned
for several days.
About fifteen miles south are FIVE or six
old craters and the continuance Of the
earthquake shocks has strengthened the
belief that there has been a fresh outbreak
Of volcanic activity in the mountains OF

Mr.. Richard Mansfield made his appear
ance as Brutus in Julius Caesar at the
Herald Square theater in New York last
Monday night, and continued the triumph
he has won since his opening performance
at Chicago. Mr.. William Winter, the
veteran critic of the Tribune, declares in
his review that Mansheld's production is
the only adequate one ever given the play
in New York In comparing Mr.. Mansfield
with the great actors who have played the
part Of Brutus in the past, Mr.. Winter
says: 9TH stage method customarily pur-
sued in the treatment OF this play has
been that Of s~tatuary and defamation; not
invariably pursued, for Edwin Booth in
vested Brutus with melancholy dignity, and
Lawrence Barrett. as Cassius, was incarnRte
passion touched with pathos; but, as a
custom, the representation Of this tragedy
has been somewhat stately and frigid. In
Mr.. Manshcld's presentment OF 1t, and
largely because OF the method and quality
OF his acting Of Brutus, the supreme and
pervasive note is that OF feeling. An effort
has been made 10 depart from tradition, 10
be flexible rather than classical, and thus
TO soften and tighten an august theme
with the warmth Of human sympathy. :
MI. Mansfield has given TO the play a mag
nihcent investiture. the like OF which II
never had before-at least on the local
stage-and his impersonation OF Brutus
shows an ideal Of that character in some
ways original and in every way effective.
