The Young Lady at "ehosts.D

The effect of Ibsen's Ghosts" upon the minds of the spectators is said to be nothing short of marvellous. Upon some the influence is of a hypnotic nature, causing auditors to sit spellbound, lean ing forward and maintaining a tight grasp on the back of the seats in front Female spectators are frequently moved to mysteries by the intensity of the scenes.
 Perhaps the most amusing occurrence was remark of young lady spectator during the run in New York city. It was during very strong situation on the stage in which Pastor Manders and Mrs. Alving were the chief actors Mrs. Alving said to the pastor: "I feel almost like throwing my arms about your neck" The young lady spectator, who had been wrought up to high pitch of excitement. exclaimed at this moment, "Oh, I wish she would" In an ordinary performance such an outcry would have been sufficient to ruin the effect of the scene, but in this instance so engrossed were the spectators in the action of the play that only a few chuckles of merriment were heard.
 Ibseffs much talked of drama will be seen at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow and Thursday nights and Thursday mati- nee. Alberta Gallatin will head the com- pany.

Let Colombia Take
 the initiative
AMERICAN NAVAL COM MANDERS.
Government, While Not Considering tho Situation Alarming, Neverthe- less Think it Delicate Enough to Be Handled Carefully and Diplomatic ally.

Washington, Dec 1S.-"Let Colom bia take initiative" is the restraining keynote of the specific instructions Which Secretary Moody cabled to the American Naval commanders in 18th milan waters. The Secretary has taken hold in shaping the naval poll cy on the Isthmus, and from now on instructions, whether to naval or ma. rine officers, as far as possible will be prepared under his personal direc. ton. It was announced tdoay, while the situation on the Isthmus is in no way alarming to the Washington gov ernment, it was sufficiently delicate to warrant a most careful and diplo matic handling, and for this reason the Secretary enjoined secrecy upon officials of the department regarding the operation of ships and marines. Only official information on the sub ject will be given out and that under the direction of the secretary.
 At a conference held this afternoon between Secretary Moody and Brig.
 
 the marine corps, the latter reported that upon twenty four hours notice he could get under way to Colon with the new Caribbean Sea battalion which was under orders to assemble at Philadelphia This battalion, which it is intended shall go south on the cruiser Dixie, now on the way to Philadelphia from Colon, will proba, ply sail between December 25 and January 1. General Elliott has been informed that unless the Isthmian sit uation entegs upon decidedly more peaceful phase in the meantime, he will command this battalion, and on arrival will organize three battalions of marines on the Isthmus, in a brig ade of which he shall assume the su. preme command.

ON BIBLE
 AS LITERATURE
MEETING OF THE BlSBEE WOM ANS CLUB FRIDAY NIGHT.
An Essay on The Ancient Book of Holy Writ by Mrs. keliy-Read at He9u' lar Session.

Tn writing this paper il has been my effort to divorce the religious and literary elements of the Bible. This has been found impossible. The two are so blended and intertwined that to lose one is 10 lose the other. So if this paper seems over Scriptural in its comments, it is because of the un- divorceable marriage of the greatest literary style to the Gospels.
 IT. it We have all the rhetorical forms of prose and poetry We have history law, romance, and even chil- dren's stories. The Psalms are both poetry and song, the Song of Songs. one of the most beautiful love dramas ever written. We have a tale of Adventure" in the Book of Jonah. It is without doubt Jonah was an his torical character, and it is irrelevant here to discuss the probability ci whether he was swallowed by the whale, or the whale by him. or whett- CT it was neither; but at least the cie- ment of adventure remains, and with it it's indiyidualism.
 But I am running ahead Of the sub iect, if the Bible is taken as it comes.
 In the first place, to fully appreci- ate the literary styles and true histo- rical worth of the Bible We must not read it in detached verses and chap ters as divided in the authorized yer sion, but search for the authors own division. This, it is needless to say, will completely route a superficial reading of the Bible.
 In Genesis, we have first a history of the creation, which. if differing in style and terms of expression from modern scientific conclusions. is yet the same couched in more readable and beautiful terms. Here is also a number of genealogies, giving ''faT;i- ly trees" etc, and folk lore itself, be- ing history of strife, requirement. and the bitter-sweet of every day life in that far away time.
 Passing on we come to the Laws as given to Moses and others of true in spiratior-for what can be truer or more perfect than the Ten Command ments, comprising, as they do, all the elements of ancient, modern, and Eternal law?
 Then the lesser laws, the generali- ty of the Hebrew legislature. It is ar ranged not to itself, but mixed in the narrative of the Books of Exodus, Le- viticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, the word deuteronomy meaning the law over again." and is probably a repetition by Moses before his death
