The war between Russia and Japan
continues to absorb public interest,
but the conviction is beginning to
force itself upon the thinking part of
the world that Japan has not the
"walk over" that her two or three de-
cisive and successful attacks first
seemed to Indicate. The vast re-
sources and noted stubborn and
staying qualities of Russia's millions
of people have yet to be reckoned
with, and while the sympathies and
we'll wishes of the world are with ia
pan in her plucky fight, that the final
result of the war will be in her favor
seems to be rather doubtful.

teacher of Fairfield school, has ar
ranged for an interesting entertain
ment and "box supper" at the school
house tonight. The supper is ex-
pected to net handsome sum, which
is to be expended in the purchase ola

praiseworthy enterprise, and We hope
to see other communities pattern af-
ter the example.

Rev. J. A. Naples, State Supt. of
the Anti-Saloon League, (member of
the Texas Baptist Convention, who
is touring Louisiana in the cause of
temperance, called in to see us on
Thursday to give US an account of
his work. He has been invited by the
Louisiana conference to engage in
this work, and is eminently fitted and
qualified to accomplish good. Thurs
day night he gave a lecture in the
Methodist church, illustrating with
cartoons and life-sized paintings his
subject, which was made very effective
and entertaining by his methods of
presentation.

The latest reports from the war in
the east are that the Japanese were
repulsed in their attack on Port Ar
thur, six of their ships being disabled
and a number of lives lost. While
the accounts are conflicting, there
seems to be but little doubt that the
Russian forces entirely repulsed the
japanese attack.

Special Correspondence.
I oNDON May H.-slnce sir Charles
Wyndham was practically
L. "booed" off his own stage the
other evening, II Is being declared
on every hand that something must be
done to check this peculiarly British
means of expressing disapprovnl in a
theater. Probably nothing actually
viii be done. The "plt.queue" has
been threatened many times with aboli-
tion, likewise the custom Of charging
for programs-not 90 mention the CEN
sorship and the theater dinner that re-
suits In fashionable folk arriving in
the middle OF the first act, Yet all these
drawbacks TO play-going In London
we stlll have with us lsowever, II is
rather amusing to compare the varl-
GUS opinions that have been offered on
this portentious subject since ,he affair
at Wyndham's. What IL the origin OF
the boo as an uncompllmentary
manifestation, no one seems to know,
but 1t is rare thing for the final cur
tam 10 fall on a London production
without some boos being heard. And
when the pit and gallery are really on
the war-path, the bovine sounds that
come from them are absolutely deafen-
Ing. The boo" however, may mean
anything. Some OF the boo-ers arrest
ed at Sir Charles Wyndham's play
house the other night declared that al
though they dlslked Arthur Laws new
play, THE Bride and Bridegroom"
most heartily, they made a row be-
cause an actress who had pleased Inn
mensely In Wyndhams previous pro-
duction, was not re-engaged The
fact that II Is booed doesn't necessarily
mean, either, that a play is doomed.
William Gillette had n lot OF this sort
of thing to face on the first night OF
Sherlock Holmes In London. hut he
played II at the Lyceum for nearly
twelve months Perhaps It should be
observed that some boo-ers boo as a
matter OF conscience. IL Is a London
first night custom to "dead-head" all OF
the house except the pit and gallery.
The earnest students of the drah-m
seated in these parts declare that the
stalls and dress circle are In duty
bound to applaud a piece whether It
be good or bad so II the pit and gal
leryites deem a play TO be the latter,
they believe in volcing their opinion as
loudly as possible In order that the
dramatic critics may not be able to
write that the piece was favorable re-
celyed.
BY the way, the writer's on theatrical
matters are largely to blame for the
abuse. greater even than boolng, that
has sprung UP In London lately. For
some time, mixed up with the boos
there have been expressions OF opinion
shouted from the gallery and these
some Of tn critics have been foolish
enough TO quote As consequence
there Is reason TO believe that the kind
OF jibes with which Wyndhnm was
literally deluged, the other night, are
now delivered by their authors for the
simple purpose of getting into the pa
pers," A tendency which the following
skit, published the other day, hits off
amusingly:
IN THE PLAYBOOERS' CLUB.
Tom--It was epoch-makng, tell
yer. What'll yer ave to drink?
Dick-Small Bass, please. I say, the
papers ave done me proud, Ell?
