ON FILTH IN FICTION.
Countess Tolstoi Says Much Low Life
 ness Is Praised.

A discussion is raging in Russia on the proper limits of realism in fiction. The debate, says the Literary Digest, had its origin in letter written by the Countess Tolstoi to the Novoye Vre- mya in denunciation of a story by a young novelist. Leonid Andrieff re- garded as a sort of follower of Gorky and literary grandson of Tolstoi him. self. The countess resents both com parisons, especially that to her husband.
 "In the stories of Andrieff one feels that the author relishes and derives satisfaction from the vile phenomenit he depicts. and by this love for vice he affects the undeveloped morally un- washed reading public, which is as yet incapable of analysing life and which stupidly repeats the favorite but sense- less formula: But this is reality!'
 Reality! But why should the read CTS eyes be turned on that particular side of life? What an immense hori- zon there Is before the really gifted artist, I cannot refrain from men, tionlng the great work which was cre- ated under my own observation-'Wa and Peace'-in which the author pene- trated into so many hearts and com pelled us all to love that which he loved. For years thousands have been attracted by this book, which throws not the smallest shadow of corrupting influence on the souls of its readers"

THE AMERICAN-MEXICAN RAIL
 WAY

An important meeting of the com mittee appointed to arrange for the raising of s2O,O0O to enable bond issue, for the construction and equipment of the Tucson division of the American Mexican Pacific railroad. to be placed before the English capitalists for sale, was held Wednesday afternoon in the chamber of commerce rooms, says the Tucson Citizen.
 The entire committee was present, except General Manning who was un- able to attend. The finance committee, having reported that, practically. all of the money had been subscribed, the eX- ecutive committee took up the matter of detail leading up to and expending of the money.
 After a great deal of discussion, on motion of B. M. Jacobs, it was resolved that no part of the subscribed money be expended until direct communica- ton was had with the English deben- ture company, and the obtaining from them their opinion as to the probable result of offering of the bonds for sale. A subcommittee. consisting of B. M. Jacobs, Albert Steinfeld and M. P. Freeman was appointed to communi- cate with the debenture people, asking a reply by cablegram.
 This answer should be here within two weeks, during which time the sub scription list will be completed, when active work leading up to the offering of the bonds will be prosecuted if the reply be favorable.
 H. F. Cooke, promoter of the Ameri- can Mexican Pacific railroad, will leave this evening for California, hay ing completed his part of the work on the new project. The remainder of the work as to the handling of the finances will be left to the board of directors, which will be elected at a meeting held in the chamber of commerce this after noon.

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTES.

Marie Cahill, an actress who has achieved some renown of late as an ex ponent of roles in musical comedies, and whose claim to distinction rests chiefly upon the manner in which she sang Nancy Brown" has been cathechiseu as to her likes and dislikes, and the confessions of this young woman ara so perfectly up to date that they are interesting though many may not agree with her on all things to which she gives the authority of her name When asked who were her favorite composers, she unhesitatingly replied, "Rossini and Cole and Johnson" Ask ed to name her favorite humorist, Miss Cahill said George Ade." Mssrs. Cole and Johnson wrote Under the Bamboo Tree" They are two colored gentlemen of talent, who are furnishing the music for the Klaw & Enlarger spectacles and keeping publishing houses busy supplying the demands of variety act ors who want that class of music. Mr. Ade. as every one knows who reads the Sunday Post, is a versatile writer of fables in slang. As for Rossini, though he wrote William Tell" overture and some sacred music, we really don't see why he should be dignified with place beside these brilliant young men. But there is no accounting for tastes.- Washington Post.

Love 0utgrown.

Quarrels come and the day turns
 dark Partings are, and the parted moan; Death stalks by, and body stark Lies where love once claimed its
 own; But the saddest thing is love oug-
 grown. A word. and the quarrers smooth
 again A time. and the parted clasp and
 kiss; And even death is eased of pain By hope of a reunited bliss But love outgrown is stript of this. Iris the living form and the heart long
 dead; Iris the touching hands, yet the soul alone; 'Tis the trick to walk bride garmented With dust and ashes upon us thrown, The saddest thing is a love outgrown,

Now comes another report of the story to the effect that the event occurred a day or two since. However. no further light is shed on the mystery, and beyond the fact some heavy cattle stealing had been continually going on and the cat tie owners were getting desperate. it is presumed the drastic methods employ ed to rid the section of suspected Mex jeans was resorted to and an example made of the first Mexican caught in the act of killing or stealing cattle. The scene of the hanging being at the further end of the mountains and near Patagonia, it is probable a coroner's inquiry was instituted by Santa Cruz county. The Mexican who was hanged was reported to have served a term in the county jail here and believed to have been one of the prisoners who broke jail here about six or eight years ago when quite a number of prisoners gained their liberty by digging through the walls under the cells, having first sawed through the floor. Nearly all of the prisoners were recaptured, but the Mexican now believed the one who was hanged evaded the officers and has practically been in hiding ever since, although several times reported near the line and at various times in the Mexican wood camps in the Huachu- cas.-Tombstone Prospector.

THE EARTHBORN MOON.

Looking back through the Inists of time we see the moon ever drawing nearer and nearer to the earth. Our satellite now revolves at a distance of 24O,0O0 miles, but there was a time when that distance was no more than 200, coo miles. There was a time mill lions of years ago. no doubt, when the moon was but 100000 miles away and as we look further and further back we see the moon was ever drawing closer and closer to the earth, until at last we discern the critical period in earth moon history when our globe was spinning round in a period of about five or six hours. The moon, in stead of revolving where we now find it. was then actually close to the earth; earlier still it was, in fact. touching our globe, and the moon and the earth were revolving each around the other, like a foot ball and a tennis ball act ually fastened together.
 It is impossible to resist taking one step further. We know that the earth was, at that early period, soft molten mass of matter, spinning round rap idly The speed seems to have been so great that a rupture took place, Q DOT tion of the molten matter broke away from the parent globe, and the frag- ments coalesced into small glob-. That the moon was thus born of our earth uncounted millions of years ago Is the lesson which mathematics de- clares it learns from the murmur of the tides

THE SICK CHILD.

He for whom the world was made Cannot lift his heavy head, All its pretty curls puffed out. Burnt with levers, parched with
 drought. He, the tyrant, whimsical. With the round world for his ball. In a dreadful patience lies. Old since yesterday and wise. Like a martyr on the rack Smiles. his soft lips burnt to black. While the fever still devours His small body, sweet as flowers. Dreadful patience like a sword Stabs his mothers heart. dear Lord; Make him naughty, wild and gay. As he was but yesterday. Little services he pays With his kisses and his praise. While his eyes ask pardon still That he's troublesome and i'll. He lies smiling with a fire In his cheeks blown high and higher. By the wind of fever famed. Lord his kisses on my hand, Give me back my boy, I pray. Turbulent, of yesterday, Not this angel, like a sword In his mothers heart, dear Lord,

AN ADVERTISEMENT
Which Proved Again the Worth of the
 Republicans Columns.

Somebody unknown caused to be in serted in The Republican day before yesterday an advertisement stating that Charles Gittner, the bicycle man, wanted to buy dogs in unlimited mum bers. As a matter of fact he has no use for days but the advertisement has not been without result. Like all ad- vertisements in The Republican it has been read and since then Mir. Gittner or his assistant has been busy telling owners of dogs that a mistake has been made.
 Yesterday morning a woman called at MT. Gittner's shop. He hastened to explain that he did not want any dogs. The woman replied that she did. A valuable dog had been stolen from her on the day following the appearance oi the advertisement which seemed to indicate to her that a sort of sec ond hand dog store had been estab- lished and she thought that would be a likely place to find the stolen dog.
 Late in the afternoon two young women drove in front of MT. Gittner's place of business. He saw them but being engaged and having his mind mainly on dogs he told his assistant to tell the ladies that it was all Q mis- take: he was not buying dogs
 The women thought the assistant had gone crazy. Who said anything about dogs?" one Of them asked. They had come to see about getting q bicycle re- paired.

BURMAHs ODD sHR1NEs.
Caves Beneath a Fortress and a Tenn pie on Top of a Balancing Rock.

Burmah doubtless can offer the odd est places of worship to be found any where in the world. Some miles ont of Maulmein. in the middle of a great plain, stands lone rock so peculiar in form as never to be forgotten when once seen. Ages ago the caves which honeycomb this fortress were trans formed from the habitats of bat and wild animals into places for devotions. Thousands of images of Buddha arc carved upon the walls and in every chamber bronze, stone or wooden gods are standing. sitting or reclining in end- less, silence, writes Jessie Acgerman ir the May Housekeeper. No one can com pute how many millions of feet have pressed the earthen floors of these sac red caverns. Almost as remarkable is a Burmese shrine built by rich man as an offering to his favorite god. Tins was erected on the very apex of balancing rock so formidable in ap- pearance as to strike terror to the heart before one can carry out the resolution to make the difficult ascent. The material was transported to the rock on the backs of men and pulled lO LHc up Nibh pO"tA p- of rope. To reach the top requires stout limbs and steady nerves. Tiny steps have been cut in an almost per pendicular wall and a slip means a fall to certain injury and perhaps death.
 The difficulties of erecting a place of worship have given no end of anxiety to the well intentioned who have the interests of a community at heart
 Sometimes it is as difficult to, obtain the material as it is to raise the money with which to pay for it. In North Queensland the problem is: What will withstand the ravages of the white ant pest? Every kind of wood has beer tried in vain. Again and again have the little white ants destroyed fine churches, raging them to the ground. As a last resort the good people de- clded to use corrugated iron. This ma terial has proved satisfactory so far as resisting the attacks of the insects is concerned, but it has one decided disadvantage in that land where Old Sol pours his burning rays down so pitilessly. The iron draws the heat and on hot summers day the temperature inside of one of these veritable furnaces will often rise to as high as 120 degrees. reminding the congregation most forci- bly, of certain orthodox theories regard ing the hereafter of the wicked

JOHN HENRY"
Klaw & Erlinger's Latest Production
 Opens in Philadelphia.

l<law & Erlinger spring production this season will be George V. Hobart and Edward E. Roses new American farce, John Henry" in which Dan Daly will play the title role. It will receive its premiere in Philadelphia May II, and, after two weeks in that city will be presented at the Herald Square theatre in New York for a run. opening Monday evening, May 25.
 The foundation of the story of the new laugh-maker is comic inciden' s from MT. Hobarts famous humorous sketches of the same title, which, pub lished in four small volumes. have made the record breaking sale of 26J,- 900 copies.
 The character of John Henry" in these books is unique and one entirely new to light literature His philn ,n- phy is that of the vigorous young Tnln of the period. He always expresses himself in original slang remarkable for eXpressiveness and colloquial pi- qrancy," possessing the merit of the 'unexpected' in his humor and differ ing materially from any funny type of American life heretofore created by the NA'ilN W liltis III lildl llc itpItStHtS d high social plague and is surrounded by such people in the experiences which he so facetiously describes in language mainly unauthorized by the lexico- graphers. but without being coarse or repellant.
 MT. Hobart and Mr. Rose have trans lated John Henry" with all his strong individuality and merry revel in orig inal eXtraVa gance of speech. to the stage in an attractive story, into which they have interwoven his most comic adventures and the characters who have most interested the hundreds of thousands of readers who have laughed to the limit of human endurance in in their perusal of these sketches. This role is one peculiarly suited to MT Daly, who will make his first appear ance in years in a comedy part out side musical production. In person. ality, natural drollery of speech and stage methods he is exactly suited to it.
 The stage story of John Henry will be told in three acts, the scenes repre- senting the rotunda of the Manhattan Hotel in New York City. Doves Nest villa in Ruraldexe and the railrod sta 'ANii AAA Nili' -NCN T Ol SubuID. III scenic equipment and costuming this production will be exceptionally elab- crate. One of the scenes will be a dis tinct novelty and will represent a most advanced evidence of the progress of American stagecraft.
 Underlying the humor of John Henry on the stage. there is a very pleasing sentimental interest carried by the hero, Clara J.. Bunch" Jeffer- son, his chum, the real estate agent and Alice Gray. The complications in these love affairs involve Uncle Peter Grant, Clara Us uncle. and William Gray, Alice's uncle. cottage in Rural dene purchased by Bunch Jefferson for the Countess Veccio, an Italian noblewoman, which John Henry claims as his own to further his love affairs and a large selection of delightfully."- entrusted funny characters.
