WHEN THE STAR ENTERS.
Must BE Applauded, and That Some
times Makes Trouble.


times Makes Trouble.
One of the stage conventions alto
gether American, says the New York
Sun, concerns the entrance" as 1t Is
called This is the applause that
greets the star when he first comes
on the stage; and no American actor
who can have say In such matter
would think of accepting play that
did not allow him to come first be-
fore the public in some striking fash
ion that would arouse the audience
to an outburst of enthusiasm.
Authors are compelled to rack their
brains for effective ways of intro
ducing the stars. And this custom Is
known in no other country.
In France and Germany the lead
ing actor enters whenever the action
of the play requires 1t. If it seems
to the author more appropriate, he
will have the actor on the stage when
the curtain rises.
Imagine the American star quietly
seated on the stage when the curtain

planning to bring him first into view
in a way that will stimulate the au-
dience to the most enthusiastic out
break!
1t Is the librettist for the comic
opera star who finds his task in this
particular most difficult. He is
driven to all sorts of straits to devise
a new means of hurting the star into
view. He may shoot him out of an
automobile into the middle of the
stage or roll him down the steps-any
method permissible that brings him
striklngly into view
The task of the playwright Is some.
what easier. But he must, under all
circumstances, provide an effective
order from a star.
A French play that had been popu-
lar for long time in Paris was never
accepted here because the heroine
was discovered on the stage when the
curtain rose and there was no means
of changing the scene, try as the
adapters might. She had to be on
the stage at that time. So the play
went begging, and to this day it has
never been acted here, though il
would furnish an admirable vehicle
for a star. In England there Is nc
such importance placed on the ques
ton of the entrance" as there ID

listening for the footsteps of her hus-
band, who. at some neighbours ireside,
was cracking the merry joke and quaf-
fling the sparkling cider, which, at Breeze
HILL was considered essential to hospi-
tally. And all this time Herbert pro.
fessed to be strictly temperate and
when about the middle of March, trav-
cling lecturer held forth in the old log
school house, laundering his anathemas
against the use of all spirituous liquors,
Herbert was the most Jealous of all his
listeners.
Knowing this, was greatly surprised,
after our return home, to see the young
orator 20 up to the sideboard and drink
off, at one draught, a goblet of the por-
ter which had been ordered for Anna.
She saw 1t, too, and for an instant her
face was pressed against that Of her
sleeping boy; and when next the lamp
light fell upon 1t, saw there traces Of
tears, while faint smile played around
her mouth, as she said 81 am afraid,
Herbert, your audience would hardly
think your theory and practice agree,
could they see you now"
The words were ill-timed for they
awoke the young mans resentment, and
with flushed brow he retorted angrily,
that IF porter were good for her, it was
for him; he saw no difference between a
drinking woman and a drinking man. ex-
cept, indeed, that the former was the
most despicable."
The next morning the bottles Of porter
were gone from the sideboard; but out
in the orchard, where the grass Of an
early spring was just starting into life,
they lay shattered in hundred pieces.
Would oh, would that she, the life of
| little more than year, could thus easily
have broken the habits of him she loved
better than her life! But it could not
be; and all through the bright spring
days she dropped, and faded, and strug-
gled hard to keep from me the fatal
! truth.
At last Aunt Charlotte wrote to me,
asking to be assured of her sons safety
and then poor Anna begged me not to tell
that the wine cup was his companion at
morn, his solace at noon, and his COM
fort at night. Yielding to her entreaties,
| answered evasvely; and thus the shock,
when it came to that mothers heart, was
harder far to bear, from the perfect Sc
curity she had felt. At Sunny Bank, too,
they little dreamed how their absent
daughter wept and prayed over her fallen
husband, who, day after day, made rapid
strides down the road to DEATH

JEWS PANIC STRICKEN.
They Fear Another Massacre at
st. Petersburg.

Berlin, May 26.-A special dispatch
from St. Petersburg to the Lokal An
zeiger confirms the news that the Jews
in that city are in fear that similar OUT
RACES to those which occurred at Kis-
chineff may occur in the Russian capi-
tai during the celebration of the 20oth
anniversary of the foundation of St.
Petersburg, which will be held on May
29 All the Jews who are possessed of
means are preparing to go to Finland
while the poor Jews are panic stricken.
The authorities hope to avoid rioting by
diverting the attention of the masses
with free shows at the theaters and
other entertainments.
New York May 26.-The chief officials
of the district military court of this city
have started for Kischinefi, cables the
Odessa correspondent of the World.
This is taken TO indicate that the gov
ernment means to try those persons
who took part in the massacre before a
military tribunal. which alone has pow
er to infiice capital punishment.
Springfield. Ill, May 26.zBishop Sey-
nour of the diocese of Springfield CT
the Episcopal church in communica-
ton published by the State Register,
strongly takes the ground that the Uni
ted States government should interpose
in behalf of the prosecuted Jews of
Russia and demand that the Russian
government take speedy measures to
protect the outraged Jews and punish
their prosecutors Bishop Seymour says
that Of course the United States should
not interfere in the domestic affairs OF
other nations, but that this is a case
where humanity is outraged and the
United States, in the interest OF human
ity. should say. and 1t seems to him
that this nation is strong enough to
make its words a. quasi command and
one which must be obeyed. that these
maSsacres must instantly cease

A peculiar complication will arise from
the election of Victor Murdock to congress
today. 1t is this sort of a propositions

one law and have the vote canvassed and
receive his certificate OF election under an
entirely different statute2

sion laws of the last legislature viii l3a

that date. The present election law viii

win be elected under the old statute, but
before the vote can be canvassed BY the
state canvassing board and q certificate Of
election be issued to him the old law cen
tanning this provision will have been re-
pealed. The new law contains a similar
provision, but it is part of a different stat
ute. Now the question arises can the state
canvassing board. after the law under
which Mr.. Murdock was elected is no
longer in force give him a certificate
of election under a law which was not in
force at the time of his election2 Secre-
tary of State Burrow has passed the puz-

THEY PLEAD FOR MEFFERT
Attorneys Asked That He Be Al
lowed to Practice.

lowed to Practice.
It is possible that DR. William Mef-
fert NAV not be allowed to practice
medicine in Emporia pending his appeal
to the United States supreme court,
after all. 1t has been generally sup
posed that the appeal was largely for
the purpose of delay and allowing him
to retain his license to practice medi-
cine in -ansas while the appeal
pended, which may be two or three
yeaSs.
The state supreme court may not look
at it that way, however. DR.. MeffertS
attorneys, ]. J. Buck of Emporia, ana
Judge A. l. Redden, of Topeka. went
before the court in chambers late Mon
day afternoon and made application
for a suDersedeas bond and a stay Of
execution in the case while the appeal
is pending. A supersedeas bond wouln
be a common matter in a common civil
action, as it would merely secure the
party winning in the lower court
against any loss by reason of the ap-
peal and the delay in the execution Of
the judgment. In the Meffert case,
however. the situation is different and
the court took it under a6visement.
The practice Of medicine is a privilege
and not a right. The theory of the
state medical board is that DR.. Meffert
is not a fit person to enjoy this priv
ilege, and hence it intends to revoke
his license. That is what Dr. Aeffert
is trying to prevent, and so he is trying
to retain his license and give the state
a suDersedeas bond. In case he keeps
on practicing. however. it would be
difficult to determine just how much
the damage would be, and proba bly, the
parties most DANA ged would have no
recourse under the bond. The court
may conclude that DIR. Meffert cannot
enjoy the privilege of practicing med
icine until the supreme court of the
United States says that he may
