"The Bonnie Brier Bush"

When The Bonnie Brier Bush" was
first produced at the Theatre Repub-
lie, New York city, Mr.. LaShelle and
Mr.. Stoddart conceived the idea of
giving a special matinee performance,
to which all the ministers in the city
of whatever denomination, should be
invited as guests of honor This by
way of compliment to DR.. John Watson
Gan MacLaran author of the stories
from which James Macarthur wrote
the drama. DR.. Watson as nearly
everybody knows, is the leading nom
conformist clergyman of Great Britain,
pastor of a big Congregational church
in Liverpool. The invitations were sent
to all the ciergymen in Greater New
York of whatever creed, and the good
men responded with singular unani-
nifty. In issuing coupons for seats,
discretion was left to a young Irish
ticket seller named Johnnie Dacey in
the box office of the Republic Theatre
Dacey is a good bit of a wag and the
way he fixed up the boxes was an OBJ
ject lesson to the religious enthusiast
who advocate the "One creed, one
church" propaganda. For instance
in Box A he had DR.. Styers of ST.
Thomas Episcopal church, Father Du-
cey of St. Leo's Roman Catholic
church, Levi Hirsch, Rabbi of the Beth
Isreal Synagogue and the Rev. Phoebe
Hanaford, Baptist Evangelist at large.
1t was one of the jolliest box parties
in the house at that.
A telegram to the Journal, last night
from Manager Frank A. owen of the
Bangor Opera house, speaks of the
play in terms that need no further
mention, in view of Mr.. Owens long
experience in the entertaining line. 1t
says:
Mr.. Stoddart is playing the Bon
ME Brier Bush" here, tonight. The
play, company and production are the
very best that has appeared in Bangor
during my management"

THE HEBREW QUESTION.

FIX President Cleveland In his re-

Russian government for what had oc-
cured unless ndsputable proofs we're
had that the government was lmpli-
Gated This Is good. conservative adj
vice, especially as It is true that we,
ourselves, have not been able to pre-
vent mob violence and atrocities on

government after the event is not sat

learn that the city Council has decided
TO build an isolation hospital at suit

the councils proceedings.
When Il becomes necessary to remove
persons afflicted with contagious dis
order from public contact a proper
building or buildings ought TO be pro-
vided for them, where they can receive
such treatment as their condition re-
quires. The miserable pesthouse here
tofore In use ought to be and will be
abolished. We hope the name of the old
shanty will not be carried to the new
institution. "Pesthouse" has an abom-
inable sound, and ought to 30 with the

in such matters as are now to be In

That patients have been allowed to
roam around from the "pesthouse'
while under treatment for smallpox,
has been a common report from dis
interested persons travelling to and
from the canyon. and from people living
in It's nelghborhood. Probably those
who have made the complaint VIII not

Secretary Moody Of the Department
OF the Navy made brief but happy
speech In this city on the occasion Of
President Roosevelts visit He was

On reaching Washington, Secretary
Moody was interviewed by an agent OF
the Associated Press, ana the report Of
his alleged utieranees was published
throughout the country. Here is the
paragraph that referred to his speech
in this city:
"eecretary Moody declines TO say
whether he would recommend the con-
struction OF Ave battleships by the next
session OF Congress. an Inference de-
duced In some quarters, as result OF
