The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1903-12-08

One of the sorest pains to modern
Japanese patriotism is the fact that
the nation is virtually without lit
erature. 1t was probably with the
intent of fostering national literary
taste that the editor of Toxic daily
offered recently eight considerable
prizes for original poems. No re-
striction of themes or treatment was
imposed, but when the elk hundred
manuscripts were examined, it was
was found that every one of them
voiced Christian sentiments or show
ed in some way Christian influence.
And when the eight most worthy
were selected for the prizes, it turned
out that every one of these was from
Christian author. As An index of
how aspiring Japan Is coming to be
dominated in thought and feeling by
the teac hings of Jesus Christ, these
facts are more significant than COL
umns of statistics could be.-Interior.

Methodist Missionary Gain.

The General Missionary Committee
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
at its meeting at Omaha, found that
the missionary collec ions of the con-
gregatlons in the past year amounted
20 81, IS2, 900 which was a gin of
about sl37, 200 on the record
of the previous year. Appro
propriations were correspondipgl,
inc reased. A special fund of SO 200
was created for property repairs and
investment on the foreign field, and
then S7U2, 800 was devoted to current
needs of foreign work and s6ls, 500 to
current needs of home work. Count
ing with this the money controlled
by the two women's societies, the
Methodlsts have given two and half
million dollars for all forms of mis-
sions in the last year.-Interior.

How Men Fan when Shot.

Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of a supposed death shot strikes an at
titude, clasps his hand to his heart.
stiffens every joint and muscle,
breathes Historically and goes down
like log toppled over from the end.
Another popular yet erroneous notion
is that men shot through the vitals
leap into the air and go down in dra-
matte attitude. Sometimes men are
found on the field in striking positions,
but often an examination shows that
the position was taken after the fall
AS rule man who is hit above the
hips sinks down. The slighter the
wound the more connection, for the
body instinctively resists, just as it
does when one slips or is pushed or col
lides with some object. But a wound
in Il vital spot weakens the resistance
and men sink at once or reel and tum
BILE with very little self control.

Concerning Proctor's Attractions.
f. f. Proctor, whose seven beautiful
play. houses, devoted to Stock Companies
and vaudevill, cut quite swaJh in the
theatrical world, is expected here shortly
from trip through the South with his
family. During his trip Mr.. Proctor visit
ed Palm Beach, St. Augustine, Aiken,
Washington, etc. In the latter city ht
made a careful investigation of the the
trical situation, and looked over several
sites which have recently been offered
him. This may lead to something later
as Mr.. Proctor believes in expansion, an0
is not yet through adding theatres to his
already large circuit.
The exactions of conscientious work in
a modern stock company are seldom
understood or appreciated by the average
play goer. With two performances daily;
with the rehearsal Of a new part every
morning; with the necessity of visiting
the dressmaker, the tailor, the wigmaker
etc, added, the life of leading man or
woman in one of these stock organiza
tions is not exactly a bed of roses Gan
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Sometimes 1t Is provocation of nervous
prostration; but usually the actor stands
this strain better than the actress. The
case of Miss Florence Reed is an illustra.
tive one For an entire season Miss Reed,
a bright and pretty girl, daughter of the
late Roland Reed, whose clever forte for
comedy she inherits in large degree, has
worked assiduously in the Proctor stock
at the Fifth Avenue. Her piquant man
ner, her Infectious good humor, and her
handsome and modish gowning have com
bined to make her a great favorite with
her audiences; but the strain of had work
and constant study have at last told upon
her, and news comes that she has sue
cumbed to an attack of nervous prostra
ton, which has forced her, temporarily at
least, to take rest. She Is under
physician's care, but Is expected to shortly
resume her work In better form than ever
A contract was signed recently whereby
Mr. Proctor will shortly given a produc-
tion to new English farce, written by a
we'll known author, and produced for the
first time in America by Proctor's Fifth
Avenue stock company. The play has
had run of little over year in London,
and is said TO be exceedingly clever. The
play was offered to Mr.. Charles Froham
and Mr.. It. r. Proctor at the same time
Mr. Proctor Immediately saw the posi-
bilities financially, and otherwise, and
secured the farce first. It's production
will be the first attempt on the part of M
Proctor to produce new play, In which
his Fifth Avenue stock company will
create the various roles.
