held that the writer and publisher were
clearly within the limits Of their rights.
This Judgment will be recognized as rea-
sonable, for II a critic cannot have Sc
curity for the expression Of opinion, and
must be under the apparent duress of a
suit for libel n his expressions do not suit
the persons under consideration, then his
opinions become worthless. In this con-
nection Il Is worth while to note that
actors as a rule do not take kindly to
criticism. So long as they are praised
they can stand II all right, but let a writer
undertake to point out any OF their faults,
and the trouble begins. This is not true
Of all, for the really conscientious actor
welcomes Intelligent criticism as warmly
as he does praise. Very few Of them are
entirely satisfied with the way they do
their work and are continually looking for
opportunities to improve. Its effect in de-
tail is best conveyed TO them by the dra-
matte critic, II he be competent, and On
his Judgment they learn to rely. Actors
are still human, and do not relish the un-
mitlgated abuse to which they are quite
often submitted by writer's who like to say
smart things and who do not consider all
the clements of a performance for the rea-
son that by so doing their c%ritiques might
lose some OF their ''piquancy." But the
honest critic never abuses anyone, and he
must feel that he is untrammeled in the
exercise OF his calling or his work becomes
worthless.

part is made of three semicircular

Thomas is a ind of Steve Lambert. The latter tried to get the Hartford club to engage the Thomas brothers and have the best battery in the state, but Alphonse was not hired and soon afterwards he went to Springfield. He left Springfield because he could not get an advance, although he was worth easily twice as much as he was getting. Thomas was the best catcher in the league this season and his work att uacted considerable outside attention. He is always in fine trim and keeps hard in the winter by felling trees in the CoLinsville woods. The Hartford ball players will accompany him to the station this morning and give him a send-off Hartford Comant.
