The committee met Wednesday and
waited on Mr.. Marshall of the Grand
Opera house that evening. The mat
ter Of Sunday closing of theatres was
talked over very fully on all sides and
phases of the situation being discuss
ed
After the meeting with MIR. Marsh
all the committee drew up the follow
ing report.
The committee appointed by the
City union of the city churches of the
city of Superior waited on &, \.
Marshall, the manager of the Grand
Opera house and presented him with
the resolution drawn up by the com
mittee of the Young Peoples union
and were very CourteouslY received,
The position taken by the manager
of the opera house is as follows;
/. Personally he does prefer to do
away the Sunday theatre.
2. He does not propose to give the
highest class of shows on Sunday eve
niags.
3. He will continue to give the
Sunday operas as long as they are
financially remunerative or unless
stopped by the authorities. In such
an event he will take such recourse
IA the law will permit.
4 The manager has several sun
day evening plays scheduled, but it IL
uncertain ~ to whether he will pull
them off or not.
The resolutions are ma follows:
Whereas, on last Sunday evening,
the manager of the Grand Opera
house of Superior, Wisconsin, opened
the door of said house to a public
opera or play, in violation of the laws
of the state, and in opposition to the
churches and religious organizations
of the city.
BE it resolved by the Young PcopIe's
! union Of the city of Superior, that we
! depiore the above named aCtiOn OF
the manager of the Grand Opera
| house We firmly believe that the
continuation of this practise will
greatly demorlize the religious and
moral influence in the city, and will
do much toward making the Sabbath
a day of festivities and desoCrati0n
rather than a day Of rest and relig-
ious worship.
Resolved further, That we respect =
fully request the manager of the
Grand Opera house to discontinue
holding the Sunday evening opera III
this city, and
BE il further resolved, that a copy
of this resolution be sent to the man
ager OF the Grand Opera house, and
to each of the papers of the city for
publication.
Signed in the city of Superior this
29th day of July, 1903.

Theatres, Base Ball and Kindred
AmuSementS.

At n meeting of the City Young

ming ii was decided To take action
against the desecratiOn of the Sabbath

| He stated the purpose of the meeting
rs being to protest in some manner
or TO take some action against the de-
scIetion of the Sabbath. lie said:
"There is nothing more important
than that we as Christian live in OPP
position to the encroachments of Sa
tan. 1t is the business of Christian
to be fighting against those things
| The reason that this thing comes up
front ranks of battle. | have watch
ed things of this kind and find that
| people do not bring them forward un.
| til they see the way is clear. They
| feel the public pulse and try not to
overstep the bounds but we hope they
nave this time.n
John Taylor of the Hammond Ave
nue church said that this was an OPP
portunity for the Christian people to
put their foot down on an evil, eve
do not, p" he said, "need TO stop to tell
of the effects upon the children of the
city if this thing goes on. We spend
our time teaching i'll the Sunday
school and then these things are in
| operation for our children to go to
after we have spent our time with
! them"
| John MacQuarrie of the First Pres =
| bSteiian church said that he believed

lhese last two books have peculiar

much like American girls, after all.
The Evolution of the japanese, by

Stray Leaves from Strange Literal

The rest of the library is made W

convince anybody, willing to be con-
WINGED. that in Maine, at least, the ma
tives are looked after as sharply as arr
the foreign sportsmen. Up to the pres
ent time this year the warden service
has been self supporting by reason Of
fines collected from convicted poach-
ers. practically all of whom are resi-
dents of Maine.
1t has been contended by many that
the license law is unconstitutional Per-
haps the best answer to this is the fol-
lowing extract from a letter from Hon
John s. Wise, ex-governor of Virginia
on this point:
some time since you wrote ME of5
the subject of testing the license laws
against nOn-residentS and i replied to
YOU promptly telling you that in M
opinion it VAS within the power OF the
State TO impose licenses upon non
residents ard to discriminate aSainst
non residents 1t has been SO decided.
See McCready VS.. Virginia. 94. u. S.
391.
The ground is that the states never
did cedc to the federal government any
control over the subject of fish and
game. 1t is not regulation of COM
merce. The question of. Individual
enjoyment is not one of public policy
and not a private right, see Magma VS..
The People. 81 Illinois, 800 and Geer vs..
Connecticut, 161, U. S. 519. | might
cite many other authorities but the law
is very plain"
Now as to the advantages of this Ii
cenSe law. Probably many will say
that there are none and yet at one
sweep it does away with two things
which have been Il source of annoyance
for number of years to srOrtsmen and
Wardens alike. The first Of these and
by all means the most annoying to Il
hungry hunter is the matter of identf-
fcation of game at Bangor. In the fu-
ture the sportsman need have no
thought of his game, be 1t deer or
moose, from the time he delivers it to
the express agent at NCrcroSs Prince
ton or any of the many shipping
points until it reaches his home. The
tag which forms q part of the license
when attached to the deer or moose is
sufficient identification for the Wardens
at Bangor. What this means only
those who have been forced to go With
out dinner on supper at Bangor on one
of the big game days in order that they
should identify their game can APP
preciate The other is that the law
does away with the so-called special IL
cerse which was tag for the shipping
home of game unaccompanied by the
owner.

I UUTS Truly,
isabelle Hermogenes.

state Librarian Carver has Just COM
plctcd a library on China and Japan to
be sent to East Machas, Me, to the
Womans Federation there; and it is
one of the best ever sent out. There is
almost everything in it that one could
wish to know about the two countries,
and should anyone read all the books,
he would be in condition to go on a
stereopticon lecturing tour. The
library is arranged systema tically, be-
ginning with history The first is Il set
of four volumes entitled. China; Its
History. Arts and Literature. F.
BrinkIey. These books are in them
selves an epitome of the Chinese En-
pire and contain fine illustrations in
Young Peoples History of the Chinese
by w. G.. Cunningham.
Following the historical books come
a number which give a picture OF the
Chinese themselves, their life and ways
of thought. They throw light on Chin
ese character from every side. The list
is as follows:
t;limpscs of China and Chinese
Homes. Edward S. Morse: American
Engineer in China, William Parsons;
A Cycle Of Cathay, w. A. +. Martin;
Traveller Tales of China. HeZekiah Buff
ferwortle: Chinese Heroes in the boxer
Uprising, Isaac Headland; Chinese
characteristics, Arthur II. smith; VII
,ape Life in China, Isaac Headland.
The literature and learning OF emma
are presented by the following books
Lore of Cathay, w. A. =. Martin :
Books of Chinese Poetry. Clement r.
Allen. Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes
All three are especially interesting, OF
rather the first two are, and the last
ought to be reproduced for the pene-
tit of American little folks. for IN
