1.-THE CRISIS" At WALLACk'S.
James II. Hackett We'll Received and Tells
OF Theatres In Prospect FOR stars.


When three acts of The Crisis" had been
played at Wallack's Theatre last evening,
James X Hackett was called before the
curtain repeatedly until he yielded to the
cries for a speech. MFR. Hackett said that
the reception which had been accorded the
dramatic version Of Winston Churchilrs
novel of war times was 80 enthusiast lie
that he must regard the play as a success
and that, with this in mind he felt the time
prQpitious for an announcement, which,
he declared. he was sure would please his
audience.
IL am safe In saying now" said Mr.
Hackett. that within the year there will
be in every important city of the country
a theatre for the productions of the indie
pendent stars. Audiences have been very
kind TO them and to myself. They are
appreciative Of this kindness can only
thank you in behalf of the author Of the
play, which has apparently been a success
tonight, for the artists Of the company
and for my humble self"
Mr.. Hackett's little speech was applauded
suitably, and then the play took up its
course to the final love scene between
Stephen Brice (Mr. HacketD and Virginia
Cdrrel Charlotte Walker. The book on

and II Is sufficient excuse for four acts OF
a love story, shown in three well-painted
scenes, one Of which. portraying the ex-
terror OF Missouri gentleman's country
home. Is particularly effective.
Mr. Hackett is himself throughout the
play Miss Walker Is charming AZ tho
belle. As Judge Whipple Joseph Brennan
made a distinct success and Thomas A.
Hall as Col Cdrrei was a favorite. George

Out Of sight OF the audience. but well
within its hearing a slave girl is sold,
street battle is fought, and mob disports
itself. Last evening tho audience was
friendly to the actors and not ill-dis-
posed to the play itself but. aside from rhe
personal greetings to the actors. the most
enthusiasm was aroused by the mention
Of Abraham Lincoln. and all the passage
which breathed a fervid patriotism were
received warmly.

WHAT ELECTRIciTYIS,

L OR A GOOD MANY YEARS it has
been thought that the Chinese de-
scription of an electrically propelled car
just about fit the case. 1t was; "No
pushee. no pullee; goee alice same like
hellee." Many an expert electrician has
confessed his inability to tell just what
the stuff was composed of. The public
mind will be set at rest by a recent
article in the London Electrician. The
writer thereof goes more into detail
than most writers on electrical sub
jects, but he makes himself entirely
clear. He says:
1.-The generation of electricity con-
sists in splitting off an electron from
the atom. The electron then produces
a stress in the ether similar to that
due to a negatively charged body The
remainder of the atom acts as a posi-
lively charged body, though we do not
know as yet whether the positive
charge is due to a special positive cleo
tron or not. If it is, we have not yet
succeeded in isolating the positive cleo
tron, but it is supposed to be about ten
times heavier than the negative cleo
tron. In any case, we have here an
elementary negative charge of about
One-ten- billionth of the absolute unit
and an elementary positive charge of
the same amount. These elementary
charges attract each other and repel
similar charges. They can associate
with clusters of neutral particles. A
negative electron thus associated with
ordinary matter becomes a negative
ion,' and positive electron becomes a.
positive ion.' Conduction consists in the
wandering of positive ions down the
potential gradient, and of negative ions
up the potential gradient. This wan
dering can take place in metals
After such a description, couched in
the simplest language and put so clear
~ that any child can understand. the
individual who can't tell all about the
component parts of electricity is dull
indeed.

{ COMMENTING ON THE PASSAGE
- of the national irrigation bill, the
Outlook, New York, says: THE bill Just
adopted as law requires that this work
shall be carried forward by the national
government-partly because it alone
controls interstate waterways, partly
because it owns the lands to be bene-
fitted by irrigation works, and partly,
also. perhaps, because the national gov
eminent will most patiently bear the
expense if the work proves unremuner-
ative"
1t seems very hard for some of the
eastern papers and magazines to be
generous enough TO concede anything
to the west. Where the Outlook i'm
bibed the idea that the work of national
irrigation might prove unremunerative
is beyond The Herald's ken. IF the
editor of the Outlook had followed the
congressional debates closely, he would
have seen that the possibility of ma
tional loss through national irrigation
has been reduced to such degree that
it is not worth considering as a posi-
bility.
The Outlook itself states the main
reason why national aid was desired for
irrigation. That is because it would be
difficult for states to agree on the dis
posal of interstate waterways. That
irrigation is remunerative has been
proven time and time again in the
west. Land which would not yield
anything except improbable sagebrush
and greasewood, has been turned into
profitable farms and happy homes.
Green clad fields have supplanted dusty
deserts, and shade and fruit trees are
growing where once the tarantula, the
centipede and the RATHER ruled in un-
disputed sway. VIII irrigation pay?
Look at the record.
Government aid was asked for an
other reason. Practically all the land
that can be reclaimed by private en-
terprise has been reclaimed. Western
ers have staked their fortune and their
happiness on the result to be attained
from watering the desert, and they
have won. They know, though, that
vast tracts which may also be brought
under cultivation may be made service
dDle, not only 10 the west, out 10 the
nation To reclaim such lands it is
necessary that the government take
charge as trustee, with full power to
act.
Irrigation is no longer an expert
ment. Its practicability is assure l.
What has been done on a compare
lively small scale can be done on a
much larger scale. The Outlook need
have no fear of failure.

before a disinterested body of citi- ems.
These facts are well known to the
eastern journals which are trying by
fair means and by foul to turn the
great tide of public sympathy away
from the strikers and toward the oper-
ators. For coid-blooded distortion, for
pure speciousness and for deliberate
misrepresentation, however, Harper's
Weekly is easily entitled TO a place at
the head of the trust procession In
its last issue Harper's Weekly says:
The longer miners insist on demands
that are unreasonable, the more they
win harm themselves. The opinion sof
an injured public is turning against
them. Streets and rivers of New York
are filled with a noisome smoke that
blinds the eyes and fills them with Gin
ders. One cannot take a breath of air
without filling his lungs with the nasty
SCOT that pervades every nook and
corner Of that vast city. The $50 OOO
strikers, IN their eagerness for gain.
may not consider the health of the mill
lions which they put in jeopardy: thew
may forget that other laborers suffer
nardships equal to theirs, if not greater
without grumbling; but they cannot
smut their eyes to the stubborn fact
That they and their families will suffer
ior- want of food if they persist in their
resistance much longer
isn't that fine, generous view tbs
take OF the situation? For the comfort
or the editor of Harper's Weekly the
miners must go back to starvation
wages so the editor and the people of
New York can have hard coal to burn
instead of soft coal. Because other Ia
borers, unfortunate devils, are suffer-
ing, the Pennsylvania miners should
also suffer without complaining. Of
course the fact that J. Pierpont Morgan
owns Harper's Weekly has no effect on
the position taken by that paper; of
course Mr.. Morgan would like to see
the strikers win. Those fellows he has
left in charge Of his organ have simply
taken the bit between their teeth and
started to run away. That's all

Seldom has a young singer met with
a more enthusiastic welcome than was
accorded Miss Agatha Berkhoel, whose
magnificent contralto voice was heard
in an initial recital at the Congrega-
tiOnaf church last night. The affair
was under the auspices of the music
section of the Ladies' Literary club,
and the programme was carefully ar
ranged to show the marvellous scope of
the singers voice. Miss Berkhoel
charmed her listeners from the first
number, and at the close of the last
"Oh, Dry Those Tears with a beauti-
full violin obligato by Miss Sybil An
derson-the audience refused to leave
till the singer responded with another
song. 1t would be difficult to make def
mite selection, for all were so varied
and so excellent, but the brilliant "Oh
Don FATAL" from the opera Don
Carlos" by Verdi, was certainly the
most powerful in tone, and came nearer
to showing all the qualities of a glori-
Gus voice than any of the other num-
berS. Miss Berkhoel is certain to prove
an addition to the sweet singers of
the city, and many were the praises
heard for her last night
Mr.. Shepherd is as much a favorite
with Salt Lake audience as ever. as
was evidenced last night. His delicacy
of touch was well shown in the num-
bers on the programme, the etude from
MOskowski being his best effort
