fellow who is the victim of a. mothers cruelty and whose only hope and reli- ance is a fathers love. Miss Barry more donned trousers for the first time in her career in this role, but the novelty of her costume was soon for gotten in the boyish nataralness and sympathetic quality of her excellent acting. In "A Country Mousse she has the part of a charming, ingenious country girl, and she has comedy role that convulses with laughter the same audience that she moves to tears as Carrots" Her supporting. company Is a singularly strong one, including such noted players as Bruce McRae, Harry Davenport, George W.

ERNEST THOMPSON SETON.

School children. teachers and the public generally will be interested to know that Ernest Thompson Seton has been secured to lecture on .s.The Indians As I Knew Them Wednesday, afternoon at Polls. MT Seton is the great naturalist who 1ectured at Polls several years ago on wild animals and birds, and his description of the h. dian as he actually is carries quite as much interest as his conception of birds and animals. StereoptScon il- illustrations of scenes that came under his personal observation are inter- spersed in the lecture, making it more vivid and realistic and adding to it's instructive value

 l A singing comedian now prominent on Broadway relates many amusing experiences of his younger days when he did turns with travelling variety show, On one occasion, when attend ing an afternoon rehearsal in q small town where they were to play that evening, the flute player of the orches- tra made him nervous by consistently playing his part of the accompaniment very much off the key. Hoping to remedy the matter he requested that musician to play more softly. But on going over his song for the second time the flute came in as discordantly as at first
 Out with the fute!'' was the angry exclamation of the singer, at which that insulted musician jumped up and shouted:
 3'You want to get rid of the flute, do you?'
 tsYe-es'' drawled the singer wither- lingly .tGo out and get drink and for get to come back"
 'sWell, young fellow replied the flute player, If I don't play the flute you don't sing that song-and the show don't play the town tonight. ! See?s
 Who's to hinder?" sneeringly asked the singer
 'only the 'fute,'' triumphantly answered that parsonage. q happen to be the mayor of the placeI issue permits See?'

 l VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. The great laughing show that has made such a tremendous hit at the Jacques this week will have it's last performance this evening, and if there are any in town who have not seen it l they should not neglect this last op- portunity. To follow it Monday after. noon Manager Poli has arranged an other great bill, headed by May Dur yea and John l.. Kearney in a merry comedietta entitled ''The Impostor. ; Both Miss Duryea and MT Kearney have won success and fame as conn edy players, and their names have be- come very frequent appearances on the bills of the leading vaudeville houses of the country. In New Ha- ven and Bridgeport where they have been heading the bills tie past two weeks, they have won high favor, and l it is predicted they will do the same here. A second great feature is of fered by the vitagraph, which will have film showing the experiences of American fremen in the discharge of their duty. The picture shows them at play in the fire house and then at sleep, when an alarm is sounded and they are shown going through terrible experience with a tenement house fire. It is a splendid bit of realism, and will cap off an oth. erwise highly attractive show. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 1b and 20 cents, ladies 10

Some Startling Figures on Lynching.

In an opinion recently rendered by Chief Justice Clark of North Carolina Gin the case Of State vs. Cole) and noted in the legal publication, Case and Comment" some startling figures are found grouped in a discussion of lynching. No fault can be found with the accuracy of Chief Justice Clark s statistics, it is to be presumed, and it is scarcely a subject for wonder that when the government of the United States makes representations on the subject of outrages against the Jews of Kishineff or the Christians of Ma cedonia, the czar and the sultan man age to direct the attention of the world to the criminal outbreaks in this coun- try.
 Chief Justice Clark declares that. while nothing is more subverSive of good government than lynchings yet more men have been executed in this mode in North Carolina in the last IA years than by lawful process, and some years twice as many" He quotes statistics from the report of the at torney general to show that for the two years 1901 and 1902 there were in that state indictments for 191 murders and 60 manslaughters. He compares this record with that Of London, which, with more than three times as great q population as the state of North Carolina. and with it's cosmopolitan and heterogeneous population, had last year but 70 murders as shown by police reports. This comparison is ex- traordinary and almost incredible The facts are probably no worse for North Carolina than for many other states of the union. The disgrace of an ap- palfing and almost incredible list of murders belongs to the whole nation. If every American official and every American citizen could be made to realize the shameful record of our country in this matter as compared with other countries they would be aroused to find a remedy
 The effect of lynching on the volume of crime is also strikingly shown by Judge Clark's opinion. The attorney generals records show that with all the lynchings that had taken place the crimes for which murderers were lynched in 12 years had nearly doubled. The figures for 1889 and 1890 as com pared with those for 1901 and 1902 were as follows:
 Indictments for murder had inCre1s- ed from 96 to 191.
 Those for criminal assault against women 25 to B.
 Those for manslaughter 15 to 50.
 Figures like these indicate very clearly that lynching breeds crime.

China Recognizes the Missionary.

As we pointed out Friday. the se- curing of the "open door in Man churia through the commercial treaty between the United States and Chlpa' signed on Thursday. entities Secretary Hay to the congratulations of hls 1ei- low citizens. As further details of the treaty are made public it is seen that the advantages obtained for Americans will not be confined to the 'topen door,"
 One of the most important features of the treaty is China's official recog- milton of the missionary. Hereafter missionaries will be permitted to teach Christianity, and to hold property ln the empire. and Chinese converts to Christianity have protection guaran- teed to them. It is stipulated, how ever, that the missionaries are not to meddle in the administration of Chi nese affairs in any way. as some or them foolishly did under the toleration clauses of the old treaties. It is made the duty of the missionaries to report to the nearest OniIeQ StdleS SoliSui oA to the minister at Pekin, any persecu- tion of Chinese Christians because of their religion.
 Any guarantee" made by China is not of much value, to be sure. in view of the weakness of the central govern- ment when it comes to deaiing with in- surrections and local disturbances. and it may be that missionaries will have no more rights in reality, than they have had under former treaties, but it will give them some measure of satisfaction to know that Uncle Sam stands ready to hold China to account for any violation of the treaty's pro visions.
 But how is it that John Hay man. ages to get all he wants from China while this country refuses to modify it's laws excluding Chinamen?

ality between the Hon. Joseph Cham berlain and the Hon. Arthur James Balfour. The facts adduced explain why. perhaps, there is such a remark able bond of friendship between the two men.
 It is explained that by birth Cham berlain was a pebeian tradesman; Bal- four is the scion of the aristocratic house ot Cecil. Chamberlain is busi- ness man, with business mans hab- it's of method, industry and energy; Balfour is a philosopher, and q very lazy one at that-always late, always behind in the details of his work, des- titute of method. Chamberlain is a man of action; Balfour is a man of intellect. Chamberlain is bent upon success; Balfour is more conscientious. Balfour is tco careless of detail to be an ideal leader of men. In fact. in dolence is the keynote of his weakness as a politician. we are told. As a young man he was an invalid, forever taking drugs. How far that circumstance
 
 may be imagined. Balfour's mother was the daughter Of the second Mar quis of Salisbury and sister of the Marquis of Salisbury who died a few weeks ago.
 He began active life as private sec retary to his illustrious uncle. His great opportunity came when he was made secretary of state for Ireland after one of Gladstone's defeats; and his indifference 60 criticism and abuse stood him in good stead when he gov erned Ireland during one of the most turbulent periods of the history of English rule over Erin. He never shrank from enforcing the crimes act and other laws odious to the Irish people. to whom he became an ogre. It was that experience that stiffened the fiber of his character to the point of fitting him for public life.

The Hog narket

During the week just closed, the price of hogs declined s1 per hundred weight in the Chicago market. The direct consequence is a loss. of hund- reds of thousands of dollars to farm CTS and stockmen throughout the west. Whether the decline is tempor- ary. or means d permanently lower level for hogs on the hoof, remains to be seen. According to the dispatches, the condition of the market has not been so bad in ten years. The pres ent condition is attributed in a meas ure to the recently disastrous attempt of the great packing firm of Swift & Go. to corner the lard market If this be true, a marked reaction and an upward movement of the market should be looked for shortly. If, how ever. the decline has been brought about by a combination of the leading packing houses. it may be some time before the market improves materi- ally.
 In any event, the situation is one that will lead western farmers to look with all the more favor upon the plans of the independent packing company which has been organized by the live stock interests of the western states

Law in tke Lone Star State.

certain Texan not long ago found it essential to his happiness, as Tex ans do. to shoot one of his neighbors. The bullet went into the neighbours el- bow and inflicted a wound that in or dinary circumstances would have been considered trifling, especially in Texas, but. it happened, the neighbor was suffering from Bright's disease. and he died from the effects of the anaesthe- tic administered by the surgeon who extracted the bullet The Texan who did the shooting was brought to trial. and he cOntended. or his lawyers did for him. that he wasn't guilty of any thing in particular-had merely been indiScreet-and that, as the wound in f1icted was by no means necessarily fatal. and as the neighbor died Of q malady in no way connected with or caused by the shot. the prisoner should be acquitted. The jurors admitted that this was a neat theory, but-they brought in a verdict of guilty. The lawyers-or perhaps it was the prison er-not being content with this verdict. carried the pretty theory to the court of criminal appeals and presented it again with such hopefulness as they could command. The higher court sus- tdlHeu lHe lower one however. nOiul0S that though the injury causing death might not have proved fatal under other circumstances, yet if said injury were the cause of death, without it appearing that there had been gross neglect or improper treatment of the person injured, it is homicide This seems to settle it. at least for Texas, that great care must be taken even in the infliction of slight wounds. Thus will the great monotony of life-and death-be increased. but perhaps it is as well. for it makes little real diff ference to a man whether he is killed by the entrance of a bullet into his anatomy, or by it's exit therefrcm, and neither is exactly popular. Whether anything is to be done to-or for-the doctor who did the actual killing in the case is not disclosed in the infor- maticn al hand. but no doubt he. coo, had a pretty theory with which to explain his failure to look over and into his patient before begiring to cut him up.-New York Times.
