Mrs. Fiske's Play
Strengthened by the

One critic. who has written much in
praise Of Mrs. F'iske's acting as the
MagdaIen in Mary of Magdala." in
which this famous artist viii be seen

self. puts much in little by saying that
the representation-aside from Mrs.
Fiske's wonderful acting and the ex-
ceptiona1 support she receives from
one Of the best companies ever organ
ICED in this country-presents five acts
Of lawless stage pictures" The scenes
Of this drama, as Mrs. Fiske has pro-
duced it, are said, as they are success
sively unfOlded. to represent pictures
as perfect as though magnified from
the canvases Of great masters Of
painting. It is not only the beauty Of
the scenes themselves, which enlisted
the best talent to be found in their
composition. but also the added beauty
and harmony of it furnishings, and as
much as anything else. the wonderfully
accurate and picturesque costuming
that gives to the scenes as they are
peopled the aspect of actual Oriental
life.

A Worlds Parliament.

1t was only 200 years ago from the
authorization of trial by jury in land
disputes in England till private war
was wholly abolished in England, and
the Parliament which did this came
into existence 100 years after trial by
jury was authorized. Already the ma
tions have authorized trial by jury in
all controversies. Remembering when
wager Of battle was abolished the coun-
ty seats in England were farther from
London than the capital Of the nations
now are, il is hard to escape from the
conclusion that an international Parlia-
ment will come into existence as Eng
lands Parliament did, much more
speedily as time for travel and COM
munication diminishes. and that this
Parliament will do. in say 100 years
under twentieth century conditions.
what it took the English Parliament
500 years to do under ancient cOndi-
tons But whether this reformation
according to the nineteenth century
revelation in political affairs takes 100
or 200 years for its realization, it seems
almost proved that the world will be
included in this union when II is
formed-Guntons Magazine.

work of Julian Edwards and is con-

Eloouence as an Investment.

Webster Davis is an example of how
poor a thing is eloquence as a perma-
nent investment. few years ago
Webster was recognized by friend and
foe as one of the finest spelIbinders, at
a time when "spellbinding'' was at its
highest worth. He dropped public
speaking, and now he is only known
to fame as a builder Of apartment
houses. 1t is in that connection his
name gets into the papers occasionally,
and even that is with a streak Of mel
ancholy reflection on what might have
been. 1t is only occasionally that we
hear now from Charles A. Towne, who
has been drowned in oil And many
lesser lights in oratory are lost
in the sea of commercialism.
Prosperity is not an unmixed Joy.
1t is sad in it's encouragement OF
brilliant oratory on the hustings.
Speech making is not a good cash In

mental good that is in all young

The artists say that all bad art is
immoral"
What do they mean?"
Possibly that art must, first of all,
be truth, seen through some prism of
genius, or else it's ultimate effect will
be immoral We know that virtue is
not always rewarded and that the
wicked flourish like the green bay tree
not seldom, and, further, that the bad
are neither so purely bad nor the good
so wholly good as in the average
melodrama-ergo, that the picture of
life it presents is false. 1t seems to me,

Considerable money is being ex

one at Alta yista. The tracks
have fairly good ballast now, and
the crushed store will be placed
on the old ballast. The steel on
the Rock Island is the heaviest

Irregularities in the Indian Ter
rItory Will Be Ferreted Out.
Every Charge Will Be prObst
Report that Interior Department
will Take No Action
Is Denied by
Judge Ryan.

Washington, July 2l.--Judge
Thomas K. Ryan, who, in the All
sence OF Secretary Hitchcock, is
acting secretary of the Interior,
said tonigh. that the report that
the Interior department would not
investigate the charges Of irregu
laFities in connection with the sale
aud leasing of lands in the Indian
territory WAS not true. He ated
that every charge involving any
government official would be made
the subject of inquiry and int
mated that that the department .
Investigation would be followed
by prosecutions 10 the courts Of
the territory
"None OF the complaints that
have reached the Interior depart
ment involve any Of the depart
ment officials in the Indian terri
tory in criminal misconduct, " said
Judge Ryan. Secretary Hitch
cock hss for some time been
thoroughly impressed with the fact
that there should be a searching
investigation OF Indian territory
aFairs by more effective means
than he is authorized by law to
employ. fit be true that any OF
the federal officials in the Indian
territory have been guilty OF Grim
inaI acts no one possessing any
knowledge Of the fact, or any in
formation tending TO prove that
fact, has shown sDy disposition 70
disclose it to the department OF to
anybody else, so far as the secre-
tsry knows.
9Th. secretary has 20 power to
compel any such person to tell
what be knows. He Is hopeful
that q grand Jury may be directed
By the federal court IN the Indian
territory to take the matter up,
because that tribunal can compel
witnesses to testify TO any facts OF
which they may hsve knowledge.
The secretary believes that II Is
only by such az investigation that
official crimes, if any exist, can DC
uncovered. But whatever may be
done along this line all the power
Secretary Hitchcock has will cer-
tainly be exercised to investigate
thoroughly not only pending com.
plants. but Gil the conditions and
situations under his jurisdiction IN
the Indian territory. Neither Sec.
retary Hitchcock nor any Other
| ofiicial OF the department ever
stated OF intimated that no inves-
| tl9ation would be made.
