Stanley Weyman's very good story,
Under the Red Robe" became an even
better one when Edward Rose pruned 1t
and remodeled 1t to meet the requirements
of stage use. The public recognized this
long ago, but recognized It no sooner than
did some very capable actor-folk and from
season to season we have had 1t told us
by different companies selected especially
for It's telling and led by men especially
qualified to impersonate the daring, revel-
rous. but latently honorable Gil de Berault.
There is then a very good reason why
there should have been for the most Of
those at Boyd's theater last night no par
ticularly new thrill Of delight In the presen-
tation given II by Mr.. James Neill and his
Pacific coast company. Mr.. Neil Is not a
great De Berault; Edyth Chapman is not a
great Renee; Frank MacVicars lie not a
great Riehelieu. And among their sup
porters there is not one who stands out
as conspicuously qualified for his part nor
memorably ~forcefuI. But with this said,
criticism must cease and praise begin. II
the company be not great, 1t is at least
good, and II 1t contain no giant, 1t at least
is ~encumbered by no dwarf.
Mr.. Neill is pleasing because he refrains
from attempting to atone with volcanic
| eruptions In some scenes for the force
that he seems to lack in others, and the
De Berault of his Interpretation becomes
a very likeable fellow before the final drop
obscures hin
Miss Chapman does we'll all that she
has to do, which is more than a little, and
leaves a consciousness Of versatility and
studiousness quite sufficient for all ordi-
nary exactions Of work in stock. Frank
MacVicars is an acceptable cardinal.
George Bloomquest is a more thar ac-
ceptable Captain La Role. Julius Nc
Wears makes fully ineligible his un-
spoken lines and to the rest Of those In the
cast there may be paid the general re-
ward Of "well done" The staging was OF
SUFFICIENT beauty and elaborateness to
evoke, in several scenes a spontaneous and
sincere applause.
The company closes its engagement al

material for discussion in a report sub
hitting a draft Of new laws to be intro
dueed in the legislature this coming ses-
sion. The committee recommended that
the attorney Of the board be instructed to
use his utmost endeavors to secure the
enactment OF these laws. Robert Smith
moved to amend by adding to the report a
provision to allow Mr.. Herring IS per day
for a period not to exceed thirty days for
such expenses as he might incur at Lin
coin while urging the passage of the bills
In question.
Mcintosh objects.
Mr.. Mcintosh antagonized the motion to
amend on the ground that the board should
not demean its attorney by placing him In
the position OF a common lobbyist. He
also objected to the adoption Of the report
for the reason that he did not think the
members had n sufficiently clear under
standing OF the nature OF the legislation
in question. In his opinion. Mr.. Homan
and w. F. Johnson concurred and a motion
to lay the matter over was lost. The motion
to amend was then carried. Mr.. Herring
being requested to explain the nature o.
the proposed bills, said that last September
the board had passed a resolution instruct
ing MIN 10 prepare certain Dllls 10 amenu
the existing laws and he had merely fol-
lowed Instructions and nothing more. One
OF the sections, he said, was to make free
text books compulsory in cities Of the
metropolitan class, as In the rest Of the
state. Another was to enable the board to
make contracts to exceed 5000 in amount
without violation Of the law and the third
was to make it discretionary with the board
to appoint a truant oflcer. These measures,
he said, the board had already decided upon
as necessary to correct some fault or am
biguity in the present law. On the strength
OF this explanation the report as amended
was adopted.
The committee on special instruction
recommended that Jesse Tompsett be ap-
pointed commandant Of cadets at the high
school under the same arrangement and
at the same salary as the late incumbent,
Mr.. Holman. This report was adopted.

to Witness Ceremony at Rifles Point.

PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. 81
When Young Lochinvar came out
of the west he was not the last of
his kind.
In Oregon there lived a young girl
with three large strapping brothers
and her father and mother In this
family the daughter, Margaret
Black. was regarded as the idol
also the slave. Margaret was to be
worshipped so long as she obeyed.
When she wanted TO disobey then
she was to be ruled.
One day Margaret happened to
walk further than usual into the
great woods around tile Black home
and lost her way In this predica-
ment she was -ound by a young
man who carried a rifle under his
arm. He was hot lost. He smiled
when the girl confessed that she
was. Of course he would take her
home. Then they both laughed and
the work was done.

girl found her way home was moth

After that the disobedience of
Margaret began. When the three
large brothers and the father dis
covered this they found that they
did not like young Lee and discov-
cred an unimaginable number of
reasons why he would not do, all
of which were communicated to
Margaret, only to be received in
the usual fashion. Finally the fam
lily brought matters to a crisis by
locking Margaret in her room.
Lee finally learned that Margaret
was a prisoner. He also learned
that he was the cause of it. Being
young man of decided convic-
tions, he acted promptly.

Young corbett Explains
HARDER TO PUT A GREEN MAN
OUT THAN AN EXPERT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 81
Young Corbett has been exciting
criticism from sporting men lately
on account of his failure to clean
up the second rate men he has been
fighting in a business-like manner.
1t is said by several experts that
in his fight with "Cocky' Boyle at
Philadelphia, an almost unknown
fighter, he was outclassed on all
points.
Terry McGovern saw the bout
and said that unless Corbett at
tended to business we stand a
chance of being without feather
weight champion some fine morn
ing.
Corbett gave as an explanation
that it is much more difficult to dis
pose of a second-rate man than it
is to win out with an out and out
first-class, because the former will
back out of fighting and take every
advantage of time and other ring
gencralship in order to draw a fight
he could not possibly win and thus
enhance his reputation at the ex-
pense of his opponent, who has all
the work to do.

RAkES IN GOOD ENGLISH
MONEY FOR PATRONS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Maher,
the American jockey, has returned
after a most successful racing sea-
son in England In the five months
racing which he has done this year
he has won for his patrons the big
sum of 100000. Not since Tod
Sloan made his record the second
year of his racing in Europe has
anyone approached these figures.
Maher has ridden a good many
times for King Edward during the
present season.
There is just one thing about Ma
her which gives him the cinch on
the American jockeys and that is
he is always the same modest
American he was when he first left
the States. Sloan and the Reiffs
gave American jockeys a very bad
name by their super Americanisms.

SPAIN RESUMES PAYMENT.
Regarded Itself as Still Liable to Ante
Bellum Obligations.

The Treasury Department has begun the
distribution of the sum of SOS, 800 received
from the government of Spain as one OF
the annual payments of indemnity due I'M
der the treaty Of 1884. The continuation of
these payments Is regarded as a marked
evidence of the high sense of honor cher
ished by the Spanish people in meeting an
obligation.
About 1918 some American merchant ships
were seized and destroyed by Spanish IA
tional vessels. and when the matter was
brought before a tribunal an award was
made in favor Of the United States citizens
for the amount of their losses. The rrin-
cipal was converted by a curious Spanish
method into perpetual rentes and the Span
ish government has met the interest upon
these with great regularity ever since the
treaty of 1884 By a rule Of International
law, war absolutely eXtinguishes treaties
previously existing between the principals;
but the Spanish government did not regard
itself thus relieved by its recent war
with the United States, and the only dis
comfort to which the scrip holders were
subjected was in slight deferment of two
payments during the war.
