the largest and,ences that ever

"A l,..,. o.,e...."

"a Little Outcast." that much
talked of production, will be seen
at the La Junta Theatre, Thurs
day evening. January 2eth. 1t
comes with a wealth OF scenery
ard tons of electrical appliances
for those bewildering effects which
have beeu astonishing theatre
goers.
The play itself, is pretty,
natural story-all warmth and
grace and singular originality. the
kind of play to captivate all kinds
and conditions of men and women.
The play opens in the Office Of
MIR. Hare ourt, a wealthy broker,
who is about to take his clerk,
Paul Weston, into the firm as
junior partner. Incidentally Wes-
ton has won the heart of the
brokers' pretty daughter, Made
line, and has welded her secretly.
Mr.. Harcourt approves of him.
and the young people agree to an
nounce their marriage that evening
when the partnership papers are
signed.
But before evening De Voc, the
brokers' graceless nephew, who
had hoped to be both son in-law
and business partner of his uncle,
discovers dark secret in Yves
tons life, aad plans the young
mans downfall. He discovers
that years before Weston had
served states prison sentence
for another mans crime, and De
Voc chanced to be present when
Weston is recognized by "R-d"
Darby, former cell mate.
Weston, in buying the mans
silence, becomes involved in a
money transaction, and is de-
nounced by De Voc to MIR. Har-
court as an ex convict and thief.
He is utterly cast off by the
broker, and Madeline is ordered to
forget him. Branded as a thief
and foIsaken by his friends, Yves,
ton becomes an easy prey to drink,
until he falls to the level of habit
ual drunkards and consorts with
criminals and outcasts. At the
darkest part Of his career, on the
eve OF committing a great crime,
Weston is brought to sudden
Realization of his situation, aud his
manhood asserts itself His re-
redemption and ultimate triumph
over his enemies is accomplished
by a series OF powerfully dramatic
incidents, in all of which the
faithful little newsboy, "Bob" is
his trusty ally, and the curtain
fails on a happy scene, where
Weston. restored to his friends
confidence and to his wife's love,
receives the spontaneous cheers
of the audience, which is ever
ready to applaud the triumph OF
virtue and good will.

THE OWL CAR ORDINANCE.

1t would be serious mistake for the officials of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company to decline to obey the
terms of the owl ordinance But there is plenty of
evidence that they intend to evade the provisions of
the measure if possible
Vice President Goodrich is accredited with having
ntimated that the ordinance is based arbitrary
assumption of authority. While the be-

people suspciousy inactive after the fact
was demonstrated that thousands of working and
women demanded the passage of the ordinance They
remained in passive attitude and their friends in the
council declined make fight. Practically without
position the enacted and this because the
managers Of the franchise holding corporation
hdent of their ability defeat the ends sought by the
proponents Of the law Now they permit it to be under
stood that though they may put owl Gas en-
pertinent lines they have intention of COM
plying with the letter of the ordinance.
Mr. Goodrich and his associates should be warned
against pursuing the line of action they have evidently
laid down. The owl ordinance framed in accord
with the wishes of very large and influential body
of citizens It's enactment assuredly warranted by
the police powers reserved by the city when the street

THE ORIENT TRADE.

The story that was given publicity yesterday by the
St Paul Dispatch, the effect that the plans of Pres-
dent Hill of the Great Northern railroad extend the
trade of the United States with the Orient by putting
a number of steamships of great size into commission
on the Pacific had been abandoned, is absurd.
1t would scarcely be worth commenting but for
the fact that it must have been inspired by traitor
the interests of St. Paul which to great extent
wrapped up in the development of this trade with the
East to which the president of the Great Northern road
has OF late years devoted much attention.
1t is announced with sufficient authority that the
story canard This will rest the idle gossip
that might have resulted from the publication But it
is to be regretted that St Paul paper should lend itself
to the furtherance of what appears be attempt

OTHER THINGS BESIDES
ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Old Propositions to Come Up Before
Joint High Commission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 19.-
1t is the purpose, the Alaskan boun-
dairy matter having been eliminated by
arrangement to submit to a special
commission, to take up again and ad-
just the same proportions that were
under consideration when the Joint
high commission adjourned. Most i'm
portant of these are the propositions
to amend the treaty Of Washington so
as to permit the building of warshiy,S
upon the great lakes; to define the
boundaries in the Rainy lake sectien:'
to define the rights of American and
Canadian fishermen on the great lakes:
to regulate the use of the bonding
privilege for goods in transit from one
port of the country to another cross
ing part of the territory of the other
country.
One Of the propositions in which tbs
state department is most interested
is that relative to lake ship building,
and it is hoped that an arrangement
can be made by which the United
States navy can profit by the splendid
resources of the lake ship builders, the
probable basis being a strict limitation
of the period of time that newly con-
structed naval vessels may remain In
the lakes after completion, and per-
haps a requirement that their guns be

RUIN AND DEATH
FROM LOVE OF BOOKS
Why Howard T. Goodwin EmbezzIed
and Killed Himself.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. ID
Gardner Cassatt, head of the banking
house of CasSatt & Co., today gave out
statement in which he says that
Howard T. Goodwin, formerly conf
Dental clerk of the firm, who commit
ted suicide last December, was a de-
faulter to the extent of from 100000 to
$4,000. Goodwin killed himself in the
company's office. Mr.. Cassatt says:
'GoodWin's downfall was due to his
love of books. He was a lover of rare
editions and expensive bindings. His
early embeZZlements were to crafty
this taste. AS years passed he found
his shortage becoming greater, and
took more money for speculation in
cheap stocks in the hope of recovering
himself. I had, the utmost confidence
in Goodwin, as he had been with the
firm thirty years"
Cassatt denies that the firm will
bring suit against other firms or per-
sons in connection with the case. ''The
affair is ended he says.

body three days and that the strongest
meat extracts were cunningly mingled
with Nhe egg food. 1t is certain that
the pope ate very little, but he moved
and had his being and apparently en-
joyed vigorous health.
The word vigor is scarcely the one
to apply to his holiness. Always a
spare man, slightly understood and
very ethereal in expression, he became
after his ascension to the popeship ex-
tremely slender and of the color o. ala
baster. Clearer and clearer and more
and more transparent his skin grew
until his hands were so delicate that
you could see the light through them
and his cheeks little more than skin
drawn over bone.
1t was at the age of sixty-seven, the
age when men are preparing To lay
down the burden of life forever, that
Pope Leo took up his life. He assum-
ed the mantle with ardor upon his cleo
ton to his high post and stepped into
the great chair with the determination
to perform all it's duties.
The pope's duties are difficult ones.
1t is his first care to preserve the peace
OF the world second, to keep harmony
in his churches; third, to build UP the
church of Rome so that it maintains
the wonderful prosperity which it has
always enjoyed.
Shines by His Wisdom.
To the Iayman, to the unbeliever, to
the person of the world, Pope Leo
shines forth for his wisdom, for his
brotherly love; third, for his diplo-
macy, which is a profound form of
wisdom; for his moderati ton, which is
another word for diplomacy, and for
his manly example to every man TAX
ing for his motto a correct manner of
life.
1t is not four years since he stocked
all the pools of the surrounding coun-
try, wherever he controlled a ribbon
of running water, with fish, so that the
poor might catch and eat. There was
famine that year and the fish were
relished by those without money to
buy.
1t is within a short time that he or
dered the fruits of the Vatican and of
a nearby orchard put up into preserves
to be distributed to the needy of Italy.
