A Long War.

Russia means to fight to the end.
The definite announcement of the for
nation of a second Manchurian army
with General Grippenberg at it's head
means that the colossal empire has made
up it's mind to fight this war out to the
end If it is possible for Russia to de-
feat Japan, the thing will be done, if it
takes the last rouble and the last con-
script. We shall now hear no more of
and making peace before the war is a
year old. 1t is more likely that this
great conflict will approximate the
length of our civil war.
In the short wars of recent years the
actual conflict has been on the territory
of one nation or the other. Strictly
speaking, this war is not being fought
in the territory of either combatant.
This would be true in a military sense,
even if Russia s title to Manchuria
were beyond question. The men and
money for the war come from Russia
proper, 5000 miles from the scene of
conflict. The war may 20 on for years
without the average Russian knowing
much more Of it's existence from actual
contact, with the horrors and destruc-
tion Of war than the average American
No wheat fields are being trampled
down, no great cities are besieged, no
vital railway system is destroyed, the
enemy gets no grip on the heart of the
nation. The relation Of Japan to the
actual theater Of the war is much the
same. There is only the remotest pos
sibility that the war will ever come in
grim actually to the shores of Nippon
This, then, is not war that can be
terminated by some single blow 50 deci

feated as victory is to the victorious

Rockefeller in the Tolls.

It is reported in New York that Mr..
Rockefeller has acquired a controlling
interest in the New York Central rail
road and in the New Haven road. He
now owns the gas works and electric
plant of New York city. He is most Of
the Amalgamated Copper company. He
is large owner Of United States Steel
bonds. He has a few miles Of ore
lands in Minnesota. He has a chain
of banks, including the National City
of New York, with its $2o,0O0,oOO CAPT
tai, and an important bank in Boston,
He is one of the large owners of Mis-,
souri,, Kansas & Texas and Southern Pa
cifc railroads. And, of course, every
body knows that he is the Standard Oil
company. People often say that they
should think he chad enough now and
would be willing to retire. AS Miss
Tarbell shows in the last chapter of her

calm that it leaves no impression Of
serious concern in the mind Of the
writer, speaking for himself and for his
party, as to the consequences if the
republican party should continue in
power. AS a matter Of fact, no such
apprehension exists, and it is probably
impossible for Mr.. Parker, who is a

Lyceum-"Monte Cristo.'ss

Altho ''Monte Cristo" has been played
on nearly every American stage and near
ly every theater goer has seen the pro-
ductiOn, the Ferris Stock company at the
Lyceum theater played to standing room
only at the opening of the weeks en-
gagement last night.
1t has been many weeks since the Ferris
company has produced a play that gives
it's various members such opportunities
for exploiting their individual talents.
There are no very weak places in tho
cast, while some Of the characters are
strongly played. =
Miss Grace Hayward, who was to have
appeared as Mercedes, was taken i'll yes
terday and had to go to the hospital for
an operation on her throat. At the elev-
enth hour, Miss Claudia Lucas took the
part and without a rehearsal went be-
fore the audience So well did she
do that had it not been that both
actresses are well known to the Lyceum
audiences, no one would have suspected
that change had been made
Louis Stone was pleasing as Edmund
Dantes. AS the young lover of Mercedes
he was full of life and vigor, and again,
when he had escaped from Chateau diff
and appeared as the Count of Monte Girls
to- the pathetic sadness that had en-
| veloped him after years of suffering be-
hind dungeon walls, was well Indicated
| The ferocity with which he attacked Dan
glers in the closing scene, showed the hate
those years of suffering had engendered.
Ben Johnson as Nortier and w. H.
Murdoch as Villifort, his brother, were
convincing. Dumas, himself, never imag-
| ined two characters more opposite than
the characterizations given by those two
actors.
Miss Laurette Allen, as Carconte, found
excellent opportunity for her talents, and
she pleased the audience. Leila Shaw
was pretty as Mile. DANGERS. 1872

Biiou-"For His Brothers Crime

6ilOu-'f or Ills 6FOLncrS CFIIHos''
In putting forth one of those melo-
dramas sure to achieve a boxoffice tri-
umph Charles E. Blaney does not pause
and ponder on the threshold Of fame:
he captures his star, masses his situa-
tions and plunges into the plot with un-
pardonable speed. Having plunged, he
comes up with various sputterings, strug-
glings and other demonstrations, and the
result is "For His Brothers Crime"-or
something like it. .<.a ,Fxs 55s1a sg3A :,
= Speaking from the standpoint Of &proba@ 8
bility, Mr.. Blaney began his present his
trionic adventure with the discovery of
Montgomery Irving, described on the bill
| boards as "America's sterling actor and
modern Hercules" Having a handsome
| star with a physique as fine. as Sandow
ever boosted, the author conceives him to
have been a poor blacksmith in love with
an heiress; cOmpels him to answer for
| his brothers murder of their father; dis
guises him as the professor in a boxing
academy and permits him to vanquish a
| host of enemies in almost every act.
| The feature of the play is the San
| dow act in the boxing academy, where
| f5r. Montgomery is arrayed SO as to show
| the full beauty of his muscular Develop
ment" and where he does sonnet heavy
| weight lifting which appears to- be mar
velous. Naturally, when this handsome
hero appropriately dressed, throws six
men thru a window, breaks tie chains

the same, the gallery is transported to q
heaven beyond that permitted by the
building regulations. And when he takes

It has been practically settled that
the annual convention Of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
will be held at Los Angeles in 1905.
made of this, Los Angeles has long
wanted the meeting, and the executive
committee has agreed informally that
it's invitation of long standing shall be
accepted next year, when special rates
to the coast will insure a large attend
ance. The Omaha women had hoped
it is believed now that with the meet
ing held in Philadelphia this year and
Los Angeles next year, they will stand
a better chance in 1906, as the conven-
ton will then rightfully belong to the
middle west. Nov. 20 to Dec 4 are
the dates for this year s meeting, which
will be held at PHILADELPHIA.
