Amused Only the Actors.

In his Random Reeollections" Charles H. E. Brookfield. highly es- teemed actor. on the London stage, says: "I remember piece which we produced at the Comedy theater, writ ten by a popular author and very strongly cast, which amused us all so much that we could hardly rehearse 1t. Charles Hawtrey used every now and then to warn us: Now, don't speak too soon on that. There's certain to be a big laugh, and we don't want them to miss the next line.' We rehearsed for six weeks. On the first night nothing went wrong but the piece. There was not one laugh nor one round of ap- plause from start to finish. We took off the comedy in ten days, during which we rehearsed as a stop gap a conventional three act farce with no literary pretensions. I think 1t ran for a year"

day morning from the text: IF thou for

death, and those that are ready to be slain;
If thou sayest: Behold we know il not"
Proverbs xiv, IL, T. In part, he said:
1.-The words of our text bring before us
a deep principle in the realm OF ethics
which cannot but challenge the moral sense
of every enlightened and thoughtful per-
SON. The principle underlying and running
through these words one can hardly think
of as of other than divine origin. IL is
upon a proper appreciation OF the import
of such words as these that one is inclined
TO say: There is a spirit in man and the
inspira ton of the Almighty giveth him I'M
derstanding' Examine the transcendant,
yet eminently practical, truth and wisdom
of these words Note first the moral obli-
cation of man to man.
Life calls for an intelligent knowledge
of the conditions under which. men live.
An intentional or thoughtless ignoring or
the conditions and character OF human life,
not ones own merely, but pre-eminently
others brands one as low and selfish. To
not know is an individuals or churchs
greatest shame. II Is by Intelligent SELF

FAKE STORY DENOUNCED.
Judge Bailey and Prosecutor Brand
1t an Absolute FaIsehood.

Another fake story of the Developments
in the Alexander trial was published in a
Chicago morning paper yesterday. With
a full-page headline announcing that an
attempt had been made to kill Judge
Bailey with a bomb and an alleged sketch
of the courtroom, with Douglass Case
liveryman, in the witness chair. the paper
printed one of the most sensational fake
stories yet perpetrated on the public during
the trial. Tie story states that bomb
made of gas pipe and charged with dyna-
mite was thrown on Judge Baileys porch
at Thirty-fourth and Meridian streets early
Saturday morning, but fortunately failed
TO explode. 1t also describes the excite
ment caused by the attempt and publishes
to the effect that the cap and fuse of the
bomb fell off before it did any harm An
other part of the alleged special dispatch
IL an erroneous statement of the progress
of the trial
The line over the sketch of the courtroom
reads: "Liveryman Case Telling at the
indianapolis Ghoul Trial of His Trips with

as Mr.. Case testified to nothing but his
dealings with Cantrell and Alexander in
renting horses and buggies to them. He
was not even questioned as to whether he
knew the use 10 which the rigs were put,

AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS.
Their Prompt Work Saved n Consider
able Loss at SchnuIl & Co.'S

Fire Chief Coots said yesterday that the
fire at Schnull & Co.'S place yesterday
morning would have undoubtedly brought
serious loss but for the important service
performed by the automatic sprinklers.
Chief Coots and Captain Brien, of Hose
Company No. Is, say that when they
reached the scene the sprinklers had
checked the fire TO such an extent that
their work was little in extingushing it,
The alarm was turned i'm by the automat-
ic sprinkler. which has a direct wire with
the 13's house. Maryland street. This
company turned in the general alarm. Other
members of the department say the pres
ence of the automatic device undoubtedly
prevented large fire.
G. A. Schnull. of the firm. said yesterday
that the work of the sprinklers was so
effective that no loss claim will be put in
The loss. said Mr. Schnull lis only
nominal. We cannot praise too highly the
efiic;ence of the sprinkler system, the
prompt response Of the fire department
and the salvage corps, which saved us a
large loss.
The cause of the fire is unknown Chief
Coots thinks il was an overheated steam
pipe. but the firm thinks il was more like

sational as the glove contract in the
war department and the scandals in

that government officials IN the In
dian Territory have conspired to de-
fraud Indians by leasing and buying
their lands at ridiculously low prices
is now entirely in the hands of Score
tary Hitchcock.
The case has been taken from the
