should not be overlooked.
Such a lyceum as / have mentioned
has been maintained in Denver by the
officers of the Colorado National guard
for a number of years. the lecturers be-
ing given largely by staff officers con-
nected with the headquarters of the De-
partment OF the Colorado and also by
officers from Fort Logan, and the ef-
feet of the instruction given in that ly-
ceum is very apparent in the expeditions
and orderly manner with which Colorado
was enabled TO place her first volunteers
in the field in the Spanish-American war
The militia system of the country is
being thoroughly overhauled and reor-
ganized as the result OF the enactment
Of the new national military law and,
in consequence, is becoming much more
effective as the nations second line of de-

and a fair degree Of professional qualifi-

An Army of Idle Thespians.

Though the theater season Is in full
blast in New York and the playhouses
are well patronized, these are not alto
gether joyous days on the Rialto. There
are something like 5000 actors and &C
tresses without engagements, and In
consequence there is much talk about
the "overcrowding Of the profession"
and much dramatic denunciation of the
heartlessness and cruelty of managers
and of the men and conditions that
have prevented the building of new
theaters and delayed the repairs on
others, though a number of new thea
tiers have been built in the metropolis
since the close Of last season.
The men and women who compose
this considerable army of unemployed
Thespians have been in the habit of
drawing salaries of from $500 to $50
a week. Possibly some Of them might
have had engagements at lower sal
aries than they demanded or could
have gone out with "Uncle Tom" and
EAST Lynne" aggregations; but, true
to their art, they consider it noble to
starve rather than lower their stand
ards. 1t is possible, too that many of
the gentlemen could secure jobs in the
boiler shops and on the street railroads
of the metropolis, and more than like
ly If the ladies apply at the employ
ment agencies they might find places
where they could earn a respectable
| living.
The condition is a sad one for the
unemployed artists though it is by no
means certain that dramatic art will
suffer by the enforced retirement Of
most of them to other callings. I'm
doubtedly many good chambermaid
! has been spoiled to make an Indifferent
