At the Spokane theater tonight H.
c. Barnabee, w. H. Macdonald, Miss
Grace Van Studdiford and the other
members of the Bostonians will ap-
pear in the most famous Of all light
operas, robin Hood" This season
the Bostonians have made special
efforts with their organization with
the view of a magnificent new pro-
duction, and it's recent revival at the
New York Academy of Music was
even a greater success than on It's
original presentation. From all ac-
counts the Bostonians will give
equally as brilliant an account of
themselves as they did when Robin

staging of Robin Hood" will be en-
tirely new. The scenery was express

The Boundary-Line Nuisances.

The announcement that the gambling es-
adjustment recently started at Wildwood
will shortly be closed is cause for general
qualification both in Washington and in
the suburb most directly affected by the
nuisance. But 1t Is always well to inspect
the gifts of the Greeks infinitely. The
surrender of the pool room proprietors
came too speedily after the opening of the
citizens campaign for the public to con-
graduate itself and settle back in conf
dence that the borders of the District will
be free from this evil throughout the sea-
son. Already 1t is rumored that the pool
room plant is to be taken from Wildwood
only to be set up at Chesapeake Junction
If that is true the fight of the District OF
last year must be waged again this summer
to remove this plague spot from the boun-
dairy. The requirements of the gamblers
in their search for a site are simple. They
merely want trolley line and the acqui-
escence of the state authorities under whose
immediate jurisdiction they fall. If they
the residents are not disposed to raise
trouble over their presence they will take
chances on running the gauntlet of official
disfavor. The governor of Maryland and
the authorities of Prince Georges county
are already on record as willing to CO.
operate with the District to relieve the cap
ital from the intolerable nuisance at Chesa-
peake Junction. and 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that the pool room can be set up
there on its removal from Wildwood with
any specific assurance of immunity from
official interference.

The Address Side Of the Postal Card.

Uncle Sam is a generous old soul in, most
matters, preferring that his great family
of nephews and nieces should be happy
rather than that he should skimp and
squeeze them in little details. But in one
particular, 1t has been recently noted. he
is disposed to ignore the needs of those of
his kin who have not acquired the art Of
condensed handwriting. He prints his pos
tai card in such manner that only one
half of the space Of the address side is left
open for the chirography of the user, the
engraving being set fully three-eighths Of
an inch lower than is necessary. Were this
raised more nearly flush with the top Of the
card the wide-angle penmen would be much
more comfortable In their use of the penny
post Inasmuch as "the space below is for
the address only" 1t would seem that the
government might reasonably be expected
to give a maximum for that which is so
essential to make the card of any value
whatever. More room for the address!

Mr.. Watterson Takes the Field.

Henry Watterson speaks very plainly
about the Cleveland business. He has not
hurried into print Assured of attention at
any time. he has deliberated upon the mat
ter, and even now contents himself with
deliverance which gives prominent place to
his opinions on the same subject expressed
a year ago. But he covers the case COM
pletely and, as The Star believes. with an
accurate appraisement of all that Is IN
volved In it. Mr.. Watterson was one or
the first to see the drift of things-The Star
had some early information on the same
point-and is entitled to the privilege or re-
minding the country Of the fact.
And now that he has entered the arena.
with the subject engaging national atten-
ton. shall we not hear from him from time
to time with all the force that his pen and
tongue command? If we may trust present
appearances, this Cleveland movement has
both wealth and strenuousness behind it.
The men in charge are old campaigners,
with several hard-fought battles to the
good. They have runners out in many
directions. sounding sentiment, and. when
found. fostering it. Mr. Watterson, IL he
cares to, may track them through Ken
lucky. Particular attention is being paid
to localities which Mr.. Cleveland when in
office complimented by drawing on for cabi-
net and other high officials. The friends of
Mr.. Carlisle in kentucky, of Mr. Lamar in
Mississippi, of Mr.. Herbert and Hannis
Taylor in Alabama of Mr.. Wilson in West
Virginia of Hoke Smith in Georgia, of Mr..
Bayard in Delaware. are being reminded of
how pleasant a thing 1t is to have Mr..
Cleveland in the White House. By his
offices they have known him. -Four more
years of Grover" they are assured, will
show that his hand in putting patronage
on tap has not lost its cunning.
Mr. Watterson took Mr.. Clevelands meas
uIe very accurately in the spring of 1892.
He advised against his nomination that
year. and foretold the disaster to his party
Cleveland leadership. He was laughed at
when the November returns came in. But
he laughed a little more heartily at his
critics after the four years were up. The
slaughter house and the open grave were
there all right, and the democratic party,
with Mr.. Bryan driving the hearse and Mr..
Cleveland complacently looking on was
laid to rest.
Mr.. Watterson belongs to the strenuous
school of politicians. He does nothing by
halves. But now is the time for him to do
his very best. His name Is national but
his immediate constituency is southern He
speaks to that section, If not always con-
vtncingly, at all times entertainingly. The
Cleveland men want the south TO believe
that he can carry the day. and will fill her

1t Is reported that the wife of young
New Yorker who was not long ago acquit-
ted by a jury after two trials for murder
is about to file suit in Dakota for divorce
on the ground of cruelty. The understand
ing is that she will allege that the arrest,
trial and first conviction Of her husband
constituted this cruelty, through the infiic-
ton of grievous mental anguish. 1t may
be that the Dakota laws recognize such
cause for divorce, but If so it will be
interesting to learn how the responsibility
of the state. which caused the arrest OF the
defendant and then failed to substantiate
it's charges, is eliminated from the equation.
A suit against the commonwealth would
appear to lie on such grounds rather than a
divorce proceeding.
