A POOR RELATION

The advisability to be on hand
early at the opening of the advance
sale of seats for the engagement of
Mr.. Horace Lewis in Sol SMITH hlRus-
sells great paly, "A Poor Relation"
is earnestly recommended to the lovers
of clean, wholesome amusements.
Horace Lewis, the clever youno actor
that Manager Fred G. Berger has en-
gagged to play Mr.. Russelrs part of
Noah Vale. gives an impersonation
Of the leading character in Mr.. Kid
der's beautiful comedy that is remark
able for its sincerity, its unstudied
pathos and unforced humor. "a Poor
Relation" is nc. an ambitious play,
il does not treat of social life or
abound il sensation. hut is sweet and
wholesome as n clover blossom. "a
Poor Relation" is play in which
smiles and tears are closely mingled
dealing in heart interests in such =
natural way ~ to awaken immediate
sympathy. The play is full Of humor.

journment had taken place and. pri-
vately discussed the matter with the
members of the franchise committee,
but nothing was said that is available
for publication.
Through its attorneys, Waldo &
Dawson, the d. & R. G. Railroad
Company asked the council for a
renewal of its water contract with
the city, which was extended for a
period of two years at the rate of
sixty dollars month. which is the
same as it has paid heretofore.
The contract between the county
commissioners and the city in re-
lation 70 the property used by the fire
department having expired County
Clerk Kohlman made a proposition tc
the council on behalf of the COM
missioners for renewal of the lease
for a period of one year. On motion
the matter was referred to the water
committee with power to act.
The ordinance opening Fifteenth
street from its present terminus south
to the Cripple Greek railroad shops
was carried and ordered printed in
pursuance of the statutes.
As the representatives of the labor
unions of the city Capt. II. NJ. Min
gay and Conrad Meyer addressed the
council ON behalf of the widow of the
late Oscar Lewis. who lost his life
while at work on the city sewer sys-
tenn last summer.
1t is contended by the labor unions
that Mr.. Hovey. the contractor. de-
Quoted a certain sum of money each
month from the pay of his employees
for the purpose of creating an insur-
ance fund TO indemnify the men in
case of injury. Hovey now main

the men Were for hospital fund and
had nothing TO do with the matter of
insurance
Te labor unions are planning TO
bring suit against Mr.. Hovey for the
sum of $500 on account of the death
of Mr.. Lewis and asked the council
to withhold any money that may be
due Mr., Hovey on the. sewer contract.
1t is not likely. however. that any
steps of this kind will he taken unless
enjoined by a decree of the district
court.

of the city Council was held last
Monday night, Mayor Peabody pre-
siding.
Anticipating that the meeting
would be one of more than usual in
terest by reason of the consideration
of several important measures. there
was large attendance from the pro-
f-ssicnal and business elements of the
city. all of whom were anxious TO see
what disposition would be made of
the applications for the electric rail-
way and gas franchises and the propo-
sition to pipe artesian water here
from the Chandler wells.
After the TRANSACTION of the usual
routine business, the water committee
reported adversely to the council upon
the proposition made by the Colorado
Springs & Florence Oil Company to
piP Watcr hcrt iiuni Shahoiei, thc
committee maintaining that the terms
demanded were practically prohibi
tive, and on vote being taken the
matter was turned Gown.
As The Record understands it the
Colorado Springs & Florence Oil Com
psny asked the city to enter into a
contract with it to take not less than
500. 900 gallons of water every twenty
four hours for a period of twenty
years. and to pay for it at the rate of
ten cents thousand gallons which
would mean a minimum cost of $50
day or els. $50 per snumn.
1t was pointed out by the members
of the committee alluded to. that the
normal consumption of water here is
much more than 500, 600 gallons per
diem. the amount running up in some
instances in the summer time to a
million gallons and more a day which
would double the cost to the public,
making the expense something like
s., 900 a month.
Ir view of what WAS deemed to be
An exhorbitant price the proposition
of the Colorado Springs s Florence
Oil Company was rejected by the
unanimous vote Of the council.
The petition of H. A. Black Of Pu-
eblo for franchise to build and equip

Party and Expansion

From the Nashville American.
The Republican party happens to be
in power and the Government IS com
PEELED to face a situation which does
not admit of inglorious retreat from
territory which has become ours by
all the rights and laws Of nations. In
such cases THE obligations of Govern
ment are not to be measured by a mere
party standard. Whatever party may
happen to be in power the obligation
is the same The party view in such
a matter is small and insufficient
view.
The expansion sentiment has always
been strong in the South. II is to the
honor and glory of the South and the
Democratic party that they have added
to the Union by far the greater part Of
its territory and to the flag the great
majority of its stars. They added ter
ritory to the Union when it required a
longer time to reach it than it does to
reach Manila now. Distance Is to be
measured only by the time required to
cover it. Nations are now closer than
States and States closer than countries
formerly were in the matter of inter
course and communication. Steam and
electricity have almost annihilated
time and distance. Expansion senti-
ment Is naturally strong in the West
where the Democrats have made such
vain and disastrous attempts to gain
followers The West realizes the I'M
portance and value of our Eastern pos
sessions in the development of East
ern trade for which the Pacific must he
the highway
It is not a party question. 1t can
not strengthen the party which seeks
to make il a party question. 1t is a
question on which opinion and sentl-
ment cannot be manufactured or con-
.trolled by the dictum of political lead
.ers or convention resolution. Public
opinion or individual sentiment cannot
be violated or controlled by the be-it-
resolved process.

Corporal OBrlen, who has been tes-
tlfying before the Senate Committee on
the Philippines, has not done his OBJ
structionist friends any service. He
testified to the use Of dum-dum bullets
when the Government has never pur-
chased suoh articles. Not satisfied
with this he accused certain officers
with violating women, but when press

NEW SPAPER OPINION
cefaming the Army
n the North American.

From the North American.
Most OF the testimony given by Cor
poral O'Brien before the Senate Phil
excluded under the settled rules of
evidence. What a nameless native may
have told him OF the acts of unknown
Officers is not entitled to credence, and
he never should have been permitted to
put into record such an outrageous
mess Of malicious gossip. Nothing
short Of the most positive evidence, ca
pable of cOrrOboration, can be held to
Justify public charges of infamous
bestiality against officers of the army
Whoever is responsible for the produc-
ton Of such witnesses as O'Brien may
well be accused OF recklessly defamlng
the army.
The corporals testimony relating to
the use of "dum-dum" bullets is of diff
ferent character; if true it can be con-
firmed. Doubtless he misapplied the
name "dum-dum" to the ordinary ex-
panding soft-point bullet made for
use 1t lis a common error to
speak Of these proiectiles as "explo-
sive" because they usually fly to pieces
when they strike a bone. Technically
they are not 'dum-dums.' but THEY are
practically the same and their effects
are identical

siles have been used by the army the

TnE puTY oF CouNCm

Yesterday the press OF this city APP
peaied to the people and to Council to
contribute money Immediately for
the purpose of sending the eight per-
sons bitten by a mad dog to the Pas
tour Institute in Baltimore The
Morning News opened a subscription
list and the amount contributed in one
day was gratifying Perhaps it is suffi-
cient to justify sending the unfortu-
mates. but there is still a considerable
sum needed.
Every consideration of justice and
mercy demands that Council should
appropriate the necessary sum to de-
fray this expense. IL should show its
appreciation of the generous acts Of
our people in contributing certain
sums. but insist on returning the
money, and on defraying the expense
itself 1t is municipal obligation,
and the city ought to be too proud to
accept this charity.
There is a dog tax levied by the city
yielding a considerable revenue. 1t
would be poetic justice for a part of
this fund to be setaside for just such an
emergency. The promotion of health
is regarded as a public duty. Persons
suffering with contagious diseases are
cared for at the public expense. Here
is fun justification for an appropria
tion to cover tie expense of treat
ment of these cases. We have our hos
pitfalls for the care of the afflicted, but
as they do not treat this disease, we
are under obligations to secure medi-
cal attention elsewhere. Occasionally
the Levy Court appropriates a sum to
recompense farmers for the loss OF
sheep killed by dogs; surely human
life is a matter of greater moment.
Council cannot afford to wait on pub
lie charity; it should act tonight.
But while we believe the above to be
true. we must take no chances. Let
usdotermine that no matter whatCOun-
ell may do, these unfortunates must
be cared for Should IL fail to make an
appropriation. sufficient funds must be
raised. We understand that the persons
who are threatened by the dread af-
fiction will be sent away this after
noon. by tomorrow we shall know
what is to be done. If individuals
must foot the bill, then we shall open
our columns for subscriptions. In tho
meantime anyone wishing to contrib
ute may send any sum to us. IL il is
needed II will be turned over TO the
proper parties; il not, it will be re-

Florence Burns. who was charged
with the murder of Walter Brooks,
has been relieved Of all suspicion by
a verdict of the coroner's jury. She
now announces that she will go on the
stage One of the surest ways to secure
a passage to the footlights is to figure
in some tragedy. If the plaintiff is fair
and young, a jury will always be
found accommodating, and in a
iwinkling an actress is made. The pro-
fession win doubtless feel honored by
the new acquisition. The old line
artists must take back seat, before
the advent Of the Sulllvans and Cor
belts, the James Boys and the gentle
dabblers in human gore. Truly, the
stage is in a way to be elevated.
