AT TIE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

"A large audience last evening at the
Grand saw Miss Percy HasweIl in the
role of Camille. With the possible ex-
ception of Catherine" no play that
the stock company has put on this
summer has given Miss FIaswell so ex-
cellent an opportunity to prove her
hlStrionic capabilities. Not that Miss
HaSWell' realizes the general conception
OF the character of Camille. A love
that ennobled and an illness that puri-
fed could not have entirely wiped out
the stains of a past that made Camille
a woman to be scorned. But Miss Has
wells Camille betrays no convincing
traces OF that past. She is a refined
woman always, even when she smokes
cigarette or flies into a rage. How
ever, the portrayal is none the less a
strong one, showing keen discrimina-
ton and that attention to detail that
has always marked Miss HasWelPs
work. 1t won for her repeated recalls
last evening. Frank Gilmore played
acceptably the role of Candles lover,
Armand Duval. The remainder of the
cast was very satisfactory.

the role admirably, and a striking pro-
duct1on of great play is promised.

BOLIVIA SEEKING INTERVENTION
Appeals to America in Her Dispute
With Peru and Brazil.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Bo-
livian government, through Minister
Guachil, has appealed to Secretary
Hay to intervene in its interest in the
triangular contest between Bolivia,
Peru and Brazil for possession of the
territory of Acre, which lies at the
point where the three countries nam
ed touch.
The question is a complicated one,
involving the rights of a powerful syn
dictate composed of wealthy Americans
and influential Germans and English
men, and the state department has al
ready declined to interfere. However,
Secretary Hay today promised to lay
the matter before the president.

You Can Smoke for Microbes.

The London Lancet, replying to an in
vitation to make some declaration con-
corning the influence Of tobacco on mi
crobic life, regrets its inability to say
maintain, however, by a reference to re-
cent experiments that when STEPPED in
dense tobacco smoke for many hours GER
tain disease germs were either Scorched
or killed. The Lancet remarks that 1.-The
conditions of the experiments cannot of
course, be represented in the use of pipe
or cigar. Yet it is not at all unlikely that
a very considerable effect may be produc-
ed on mouth microbes, many of which are
quite harmless, by the ingestion of to-
bacco smoke. Possibly the soil is rend-
cred a less fertile one for microbe develop
ment; but microbes have an evil habit of
breeding rapidly, and in the contest it is
quite likely the tobacco makes only a
feeble second after ALL"

THE LITERARY SNAIL.

9Th write a book the author said,
"As full of problems as the sea;
For polemicS are all the rage,
And tales of human mystery"
But ere he'd written Chapter Five"
The library and stall and store
Were flooded with the problem books
The tickle public called "a bore"
"I'll write adventure stories bold"
The buoyant writer cried; "for tales
OF wondrous deeds are all the go,
And leading now with wondrouS sales"
But ere his hero battled twice
With pirates on his ship of gold,
The public took its eye away
And wild adventure lost its hold.
"TH write a happy lover tale"
Then sighed the literary snail;
And so he crawled into his heart,
To hear it WOO, and wish and wall.
But ere his lover won a bride,
Or he had scrubbed down 'rhe End"
The public had discarded love
And publishers wrote back: Don't
send!'
Historic novels swept along
From Ethelred to Charles the First,
And that one had the largest sale
Which proved the wickedest and worst,
Till weared with the lightning change,
The literary snail, perplexed,
Resigned his pen, and, sitting down,
He waited, whispering: What next?"

AGuINALDO AND BOSTON.

Aguinaldo has recently been releas-
ed from prison for the offense George
Washington committed against Eng
land in 1875. Washington would have
suffered the same fate at the hands
of the English if they had been able,
by the use Of forged letters and the
wearing of the uniform of the Ameri-
can soldiers, to capture him. 1t will
be remembered that both these de-
vices were used by Funston in the
capture of Aguinaldo. The English
would have put Washington in prison
because he fought for liberty and in
dependence, and his successor put
Aguinaldo in prison for the very same
line of action.
Washington resented the quartering
of the English army upon the people
of the United States without their
consent, and Aguinaldo resented the
quartering of the United States army
upon his people without their consent.
Washington, for the American people,
demanded that there should be no
taxation without representation, and
Aguinaldo made the same demand for
the Filipinos. Washington led an
army fighting for the right of the peo-
pie of the United States to establish
from the consent of the governed, and
the English would have put him in jail
if they had been able to catch him.
Aguinaldo led an army fighting for the
same principle, and he was put in
Jail, his capture having been effected
by the use of forgery and deceit.
Aguinaldo was captured by a ruse
morally as heinous as that which sent
Major Andre to the gallows and made
the name of Benedict Arnold syno-
nym Of shame and infamy.
In a dismal effort to be sarcastic,
the esteemed Pioneer Press suggests
now that Aguinaldo should betake
himself to Boston. The Clio b e
knows of no more BETTING place, for
Boston heard the first shot fired for
liberty in the war for freedom and in
dependence.
Boston would honor Washington if he
were alive today, and would honor all of
the patriots of 1776 who struggled for
the same principle Aguinaldo upheld.
Boston is the place where a memorable
tea party was held. 1t was the center
of the influence which eliminated at
Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill.
Whether or not Aguinaldo should go
to Boston, there is one place where
an advocate of the principles he rep
resents would find no welcome, and
that is in the EDITORS room in the Pho
neer Press building. A man preaching
liberty and independence in that room
would be thrown to the stone side
gled beyond recognition; for, indeed,
the spirit of Washington, Of Patrick
Henry and Abraham Lincoln has no
abiding place in that building. 1t has
given place to the spirit of party zeal,
and instead of the motto my Coun-
try" being prominent there, the baneful
words my Party" are conspicuous on
the walls-and this is true of the Re-
publican party throughout the United
States. Liberty may perish from the
earth forever if the Republican party
can keep possession of the spoils Of
office in the United States.

Cow Objects to Stool.

In response to a missionary's appeals
for various articles for use on an African
farm a milking stool was sent to him from
England. He gave it to the negro whose
duty it was to milk the cows, with in
functions to use it. On the first day the
negro returned home from the cowsheds
bruised and battered, but with an empty
pail. When the missionary asked for an
explanation the negro replied: milk
stool very nice, massa, but she won't sit
on it!''-Chicago News.

Tobacco Acreage.
The acreage reported as under to-
bacco is considerably smaller than that
shown for the crop of 1901. OF the
principal tobacco producing states,
Maryland shows a decrease in acreage
amounting to 2 per cent; Virginia, 4
per cent; Pennsylvania and Ohio, 8
per cent Tennessee, 10 per cent, and
Kentucky, IL per cent, while in Wis
consin and North Carolina the pres
ent areas are and 8 per cent, respect
lively, larger than those planted last
year. The average condition Of to-
bacco is point below the ten-year av-
erage in Maryland and North Carolina,
2 points in Kentucky and Pennsylva-
MIA, 8 points in Tennessee and points
in Virginia. On the other hand, Ohio
and Wisconsin show conditions 5 and
10 points, respectively, above such av-
erage.
Reports of the hay crop are very
favorable, an Improvement in condition
being noted during June in nearly
every hay producing state. The rains
of the past two months have been ben
eficial to pastures, and their present
condition is excellent, nearly every
important state reporting a condition
considerably above the ten-year av-
erage.
While there has been a general de-
cline in the condition of apples and
peaches, as compared with last month,
reports of those fruits from almost ev-
cry important state indicate that more
than an average crop of each of them
will be harvested. The condition Of
grapes is very good, and it is quite
probable that the crop win be as large
as that of an ordinarily good year.

NEW YORK CITY GOSSIP
COLUMBIA'S WORK COMMITTEE
ADDS PlNG-PONG TO LIST
Pirates Steal Ancient Bell Intended
For Gift to King Edward-New
Jerseys Auto Speeding Ordinance
Gives Half Fine to Witness Who
Gives the Evidence.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Ping- pong's
popularity has afforded another means
by Which impecuniOus collegians NAV
earn money with which to pursue Their
studies. Several young men who are
attending Columbia university have
entered the field of employment fur
nished by the new game as attend
ants at the miniature courts at sum
mer resorts and are profting by the
prevalent craze
1t was through the committee on
employment for students of the faculty
of Columbia that places were found
for these young men, who are forced
to work their way to their degrees.
In a report just issued the committee
takes this credit, but it fails to throw
any light on the wages the attendants
earn or whether they depend upon
tips" or upon salaries.
Another source from which self-sup-
porting students derive financial aid is
the summer hotel. Through letters
sent to the proprietors OF five nunGred
of the more important hostelries a,
summer resorts the committee reports
placing eleven men in positions OF
more or less Importance, while another
has been assigned to work as a geo.
logical expert in a legal case regard
ing a boundary line.
From the calls made upon it by bust
ness houses, lot the services OF stu
dents, the committee deduces the con-
cluSion that there are numerous op-
portunities for competent and pre-
sentable" men if they have three hours
of each day to themselves. In this
knowledge, the committee declares, it
feels justified in encouraging men of
small means to come 10 Columbia in
the expectation that they will be able
to earn at least a fair proportion Of
their expenses. At the same time it
issues warning that the demands
upon the time of students IN medicine.
and applied science ure sucn as to
make it inadvisable for men pursuing
those branches to expect assistance
from the committee.
For women students in the graduate
schools the committee has thus far
been unable to provide work, but it
hopes later to develop some field where
they may earn, in part, their expenses.
