Doing Business.

The Branagan & Brannan firm is do
ing business in their coffee department.
Yesterday they roasted, packed and
shipped 1000 pounds of their famous
"Lillye" coffee.
Doubtless but few people in Pales-
tine knew that this venture had
reached such proportions, but it's
fact. The old roasting apparatus is
entirely inadequate to meet the de-
mands made upon it, so a new outfit
has been bought, and is now here and
ready to be installed. 1t consists of
gas engine of six-horse power, a
dynamo, electric coffee grinder, etc.
This only goes to show what we'll
directed enterprise will do.
The Herald predicts this coffee bust
ness will soon grow into one of the
biggest Off not the biggest enter
prises in Palestine.
Branagan & Brannan are liberal
users of printers ink, too, which
should be taken as an indication that
they are sure enough hustlers.

thoroughly schooled in the art of act- ing, for which all credit is due to Mc- Kee Rankin. An essay could be writ ten upon the power of the human voice as exempIified by Miss O'Neil. It is of great range and wonderful timbre. For the most part it is of even tone, well modulated, but when strong feel. ings assert themselves it takes on all most a masculine tone, it is of such a heavy contralto quality. Was there ever an actress who could stand with her back to the audience and yet domi- nate that audience without the utter ance of word? There was expression in Miss O'Neil's very pose. The man Ter in which she stood indicated what was to come. It was the supreme test of Miss o'Neil's personal magnetism. Few actresses would risk so daring an experiment. with an audience, yet Miss 0'Neil not only turned her back to the audience several times, but in the last act she held the stage alone for fully minute with her back turned com pletely from the audience There was not even the sign of gesture or the slightest movement, yet the audience hung there breathlessly and not a sound disturbed the scene It was not the acting; it was complete absorption in the personality of the acress. Some
 nay call it the triumph of art, others may call it the triumph of personal charm, but there was no question of the complete subjugation of the au- dience. 2
 The company in support of Miss o.Neil this season is one of particular strength. Its roster includes such names as Charles Dalton. Louis Mass en, Joseph Wheelock, Charles Milward, Charles Smily. Mrs. Clara Thompson, Miss Gertrude Biniley, Miss Ricca Allen and twenty others. Seats are now on sale.

bought by kings with cattle and costly articles, just as those less fortunately situated were obtained by number pur- chase. History records that the cove tous Anglo-Saxon fathers drove extor- tionate bargains and cheated simple buyers like modern horse dealers at a fair. Ethelbert provided against this by enacting: If there be any deceit, let him bring her home again, and let the man give him back his money. T This privilege in it's turn became obso- lete when morning gifts were general. These were presents made to the bride by her husband on the morning after the marriage night to show his satis- faction with his bargain, and she who received morning gift could not be afterward returned. In process of time, when the brutality of selling ones own offspring dawned upon the coarse minds of our ancestors, a eupheniism was in- vented to conceal its baseness and satisfy public conscience. Contracts for future marriages had been called meningitis.

A woman of statuesque build and pose, of classic features and regal head she moves about the stage as "a queen yet, withal, the ineffable charm of wo- man predoninates.

WEST HAVEN ARSON cAsE.

In the West Haven court yesterday morning Edwin Bradley and Ebert Cartwright were arraigned for arson in connection with the burning of the formers blacksmith shop in that town a week ago. but their cases were con- tinued for a week to allow the state to call in more witnesses.
 AtAthe hearing Warden Peck was one Of the witnesses. He told of conyer- sation which he had heard between the accused shortly after the fire, but there was nothing in 1t which would help the state in the prosecution.
 Policeman Robert French testified to what he heard the men say while they were in the town lookup. Policeman French concealed himself near their cell and listened to what they had to say about the fire, and his presence was unknown to them. From the testimony given by French his ruse was unsuc- cessful in securing anything against the two men

DIALECT IN THE scHoor,s ,s

Tn an address delivered at Indianapo-
 lis the other day, Professor shryock, of
 the Illinois State Normal school, took
 exception to the language employed by
 James Whitcombs Riley in many of his
 most popular poems. According to the
 published reports Of the professors re- marks he deplorsd the,s fact that MT.
 Riley had not preferred the vehicle of classic English to the use of Hopsier
 dialect, which he maintained cannot be taught in the schools without debas- ing the language. Possibly encouraged l by applause he went on tossay that be-
 cause of this unfortunate qualification 1 the poems should be barred for all time.
 Assuming that the professor has not
 been misquoted, it must appear that he
 has not made a very convincing argu-I ment. While it may be that Hoosier or any other dialect may not be safely taught to urohins in school as proceed ing from "a well of English pure and undefiled, it does not appear to follow that it must be barred for all time.
 Even the professor must admit that Ethere is a good deal in literature that
 has survived many years that cannot be taught in schools, and, that schools are by no means the beginning and the
 end of the acquisition of human knowl- edge. And even if the professor meant
 to convey only the idea that the, barrier
 applies merely to the scholastic educa- 1 tion of youth, there is still hope for Mir
 Riley, whose poems may con
 tinue to delight thousands of readers
 whose literature is not specially selected for them by a schoolmaster.
 It is hardly necessary to defend MT.
 Riley's use of dialect. He has employed | it for purpose and with a meaning
 and it is altogether likely that when he sat down to compose a song for the people he did not give a thought to the
 reception that the poem would en- counter at school or college. If a pos-s sibility of Professor Shryock's criticism had occurred to him he might have
 changed "Goodby, Jim, take keer 0 yerself to Farewell James, do not un-
 necessarily expose yourself" with ether variations that would assure professor ial approval. And all the little girls and boys would have largely profted by the elegant sentiment.
 Mir. Riley is a peaceful and modest citizen as well as capable dialect poet and it is not probable he will. stren- uously resent the onslaught on his verses. It is really too bad that people
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-12-28

will continue to talk in the way MT. Riley writes, but we are not going to hold him responsible for this deviation from Addisonian English. And when the little boys and girls grow up and get out of school we hope they will read and enjoy Riley with the same relish and keen interest experienced by us who have passed beyond the domination of the pedagogue. If meanwhile they can read little Riley dialect sentiment on the sly at home, we dare say they will not be the worse for it From the Chicago Evening Post.
