Miss Mary Johnston evidently does not
believe that the day of historical novels
is over, and we are not at all sure that
it is for such as write like Miss Johnston.
"Sir Mortimer is the title of her next
story, which is to run serially through
one of the magazines before it makes it's
public appearance between book covers.
All that is told of the story at the pres
ent time is that the period in which the
action of the plot takes place is that OF
Queen Elizabeth. The heroine is lady
in-waiting at the Court and the hero is
young officer in Sir John Nevils fleet.
Miss Johnston spends most of her time
in her Virginia home. She writes slowly
and the typewriter comes in for the great
burden of her composition. She has re-

is an interesting addition to what has
been said and written about Hall Gaines
having first introduced the Pope into a
play, in his version of THE Eternal
City"
"All this poppycock talk about The
Eternal City being the first play that
has ever contained a Characterization of
a Pope of Rome is amusing to me. I
have good reasons for knowing that it is
nothing of the sort. Away back in the
middle '70s, when | was managing Nj
bios garden, we had one of those eX-
periences which am not likely ever to
forget. Dion Boucicault, then at the
height of his fame, had Just finished his
famous run in The Shaughraun. He
wrote a new play which, although 1
won't be positive of, however, the pope
was the principal Character in the play,
and Boucicault played the role himself.
At the first performance, although the
play met with little popularity, there
was no hostile demonstration. But the
next morning the newspapers opened fire
on us with a unanimity which was awe
inspiring. The second night the house
was packed. and in all my experience 1
have never witnessed such a scene OF
pandemonium. In spite of the fact that
he was the popular idol of the day,
Boucicault was literally Kissed off the
stage. But the actor was game and in
sisted upon giving another performance.
1t was our third and last for that night
the audience almost tore the seats out.
and then l stepped in, and, wishing to
protect my furniture as we'll as my star,
insisted upon an immediate change Of
bill. To his dying day Dion Boucicault
never forgot that experience"

tales have made, placed herself in the
position which she has both striven for
and feared for years. at is so hard to

not need to be told that Mrs. Cutting
has been through all the suburban ex-
periences and has lived the married life
with which the book deals Five of her
six children are living; her husband died
nine years ago. and since then She has
been trying to write the stories which
she says she was always making up to
herself. Before her marriage, she wrote
a few poems which appeared in Lippin-
colts Magazine signed Mary Stewart.
Later on she wrote number of children's
stories for small church paper.
Writing for children" says Mrs. Cut
ting, Il found an excellent education,
as one IS obliged to be clear and con-
else. But it was about seven years ago
that l begun to turn my attention Sc
riously toward writing. 1t was slow and
discouraging. By dint of hard work
got one or two stories accepted by diff
ferent leading magazines and papers. Try
as hard as | might could never get two
articles accepted and sent, and sent and
wrote, always expecting a refusal and
with fresh determination to succeed each
time all manuscripts came back to me.
About three years ago l wrote Their

Oemurrers Filed by Defendant
In Dawson BrOOme Case.

The demurrer to compainant's bin In
the cause of Ellen Dawson. ct. al, VS..
Robert Broome, are sustained in an opin
ion handed down by the appellate divi-
sion. Complainants bin asked for a
perpetual injunction TO restrain the re-
spondent from interfering with certain
alleged riparian rights claimed by them
and for other relief.
Complainants bought from Broome
land In harrington that was on Edwin
street. The land bordered on the water,
and soon after the sale respondent be-
gan filing In front of complainants'
premises.
They objected TO this action on the
part OF the respondent, and he threat
ened TO build houses on the land he was
filling in II the complainants did not
keep quiet, as he had been given leave
TO fil I'm by the harbor commissioners.
Complainants claimed that at the time
of receiving their deeds and at the time
of this purchase of the lands referred 10
they were entitled under the law of this
state TO all the riparian rights apper-
tanning to said lands as bordering upon
and bounded by tide water, including the
right OF access to and egress from their
lots from and TO tide-water, and includ-
ing the rights OF filling In and building
on the lots so purchased TO tide water
A number OF demurrers were filed, but
the court considered only these two
that the complainants by their said bill
show no right. title or interest In or to
any OF the land or lots of land or ripa-
rian rights lying westerly OF the open
way or ships. as shown upon the plat
referred 10 in their deeds lying along and
across the westerly fronts of their said
lots. and that the plaintiffs have not, I'm
or by their said bill, made or stated any
case calling for the action of court OF
equity.
Judge Rogers writes the opinion OF the
court and holds that the respondent and
his grantees have the right TO fiji out as
far as license had been given them by the
harbor commissioners The language of
Chief Justice Durfee In Bailey VS. Burgess,
that "In this state, at common law. the
fee OF the soil in tide waters below high
water mark Is I'm the state. It is true,
the riparian proprietor may fill out In
front OF his land. but, II he does so he
fills out by the permission or acquiescence
OF the state"

damages and double costs.
The plaintiff moved an arrest OF judg-
ment which motion having been over

division on exceptions. Mr.. wildes set
up that the pleas were filed in the district
court after the date OF certllcation to tho

filed In said division nor properly filed I'm
the district court; consequently that the
only plea I'm the case was that OF the

Philadelphia Record: South Car
Dina has a case in the supreme court
Of the United States in which she asks
for release from the internal revenue
taxes on her whisky dispensaries and
distilleries. The claim of South Caro-
lima is chiefly based on the ground
that the internal ven laws apply
only to persons and private corpora
tions, and that congress could not
have intended to subject a state to
taxation. Should this position be
judicially affirmed a state could set
up a tobacco monopoly OR any other
kind of business and claim exemption
from internal taxes as well as from
customs duties. But when a state
goes in to the business of selling
whisky, or any other kind Of traffic,
It must pay the taxes that are levied
by the federal government on such
traffic. and this will no doubt be the
! decision of the supreme court.

IMPROVING THE INDIAN.

Brooklyn Eagle: Our Indians are
solving some Of our difficulties for US
by coming in," as they used to say
on the reservations, and expressing
not only a willingness but a desire
to be enrolled among people whose
habit has been to work for their own
living. The latent possibilities Of USE
fulness among our wards are consid-
cradle. Indeed, when left tt them
selves in some parts Of the land and
untroubled by meddlers and govern
ments emissaries, they have worked
their own way toward a practical
civilization. The state Of the Chero-
KEGS in Indian Territory in the, old
days was hardly inferior to that of
their white neighbors; they invented
an alphabet, they had schools and in
door Industries, they respected per-
sonal and property rights far better
than do the Slave, Czechs and Polacks
in Pennsylvania and did not show
sings in degeneracy till the white
missionaries went in, with the usual
following of white liquor dealers and
gamblers.
Since the new system went into eff
feet of employing the red men where
possible, inducing the able-bodied to
refuse government rations, p%ersuading
the men t o cut their hair and desist
from painting their faces, over 10000
Indians have been dropped from the
rolls of the dependents. This is not
only a good to the white people, but
is a greater good to the red ones, since
it will arouse a self-respect that is
hardly consistent with the acceptance
of aims. Our course toward the In
dian was probably the most feasible
one in the past, when there was plen-
ty of room and game, but now that
the whites are closing about the res
ervations and the game is being eX-
terminated the Indian must either be
a beggar or he must work, like other
! people, to avoid being one. That so
many accept the latter alternative is
promising for the better peace of dis
tricts that were kept in fear and more
promising for the raising of unraised
Indians to better usefulness. Nor
ally they are as good as the whites
and with little urging they will be
our equals in all respects.
