The man against whom the charge is
made spent yesterday and last night in
the central police station, being charged
with disorderly conduct and unable to fur

AS DR.. Quinn stepped from the Metro

a woman who was rapidly walking on

language. Not content with this Ga

There being no policeman in sight DR..
Quinn took Gagewski in charge and turned
him over to Sergeant Pat Murnane, with
the request that he be locked up. This
was done, the doctor agreeing that he
would appear in police court today and
prosecute the case.

across the Paclficu at the Grand

The slumbering echoes will be troubled
with insomnia fer one whole week and
two matinees more at the Grand this week.
Harry Clay Blaney in the decorating
drama Across the Pacific" began to burn
gunpowder with two performances yes
terday at the above theater.
1t Is the same performance of a season
ago with a few changes in the personnel
of the cast. The audience exhibited the
same keen appreciation Of the entertain
ment and applauded loud and long. They
laughed uproariously at Mr.. Bianey's an
tics as Willie Live, and blistered their
palms in commendatory expression of rel
ish at his and Kittie VOLTS specialties.
They also bestowed a generous portion of
their appreciation upon Eddie Koran, WHO
danced cleyerly and played the part Of a
Chinaman.
The melodrama is familiar to most pa
irons of the Grand, and apparently pleas
ing to all of them. The most commend
able acting, from critical viewpoint, is
acts the imperturbable wronged woman
who rights herself before the final concus-
sion. Frederick Ormonde is also a capa-
BILE villain. August Gill as the heroine
and Harry w. Fenwick as the hero de-
port themselves in strict compliance with
the melodramatic laws of heroic etiquette.
Miss Gill is especially convincing in the
soldiers uniform and goes through the
manual of arms Ike a veteran. Then there
is the rough riders band and lots of SOL
diers and supernumeraries and scenery.
The gatling gun speaks for itself. and
it is not bit modest. When it barkS the

ropean acts, which are exhibited for the
first time in this country, are the Be-
hemian musical troupe and the Austrian
troupe. The musical act is not very at
tractive, inasmuch as the selections played
by the not over-talented performers do
not appeal to the American popular fancy.
The Austrian drill however, is very sp1r-
tied and the songs sung In German are
quaint and pretty and are well sung by

musical extravaganza, slightly more
extrayagant than musical, but withal
hrst-rate evenings entertainment is 'tThe
Runaways, in which the abbreviated
comedian Arthur Dunn is the feature at
the Metropolitan for the first half of this
week. The comedy element is predomi
nant. Much of it has rs connection with
the gasfronomic theme which serves as
plot, but it is all bright and clever and
nearly all new to local theatergoers. The
music is Of the variety known as
catchy, but is not distinctive from any
one of number of recent musical pro-
auctions. This fault. however, possibly
belongs to the said recent productions
which may have "cribbed'' from the
RunaWays."
The interest naturally eenters on Arthur
Dunn Having done so it remains
on the extremely unctuous little COM

smooth little staggering walk, persuasive
smile and foguish eyes are all very very
funny to say nothing of the things he
says and his dry way of saying them. He

share of the credit for the success of the
entertainment. Charles Dox is another
comedian who is as tall as Arthur Dunn

THE REAL TROUBLE WITH KAN
SAS

One may select ones grandparents
with the greatest care, but if fate elects
that one shall be born in Kansas the
care will avail one little, for it is not
the occasional Kansas citizen but the
state itself that is mad. At least this
is what an Iowa professor who has
been diagnosing Kansanitis assures a
concerned public In the light of his
revelation, Mr.. Whites attempt to ex-
plain Kansas eccentricities appears I'M
successful and superficial. The editor
laid the blame for the states reputa-
ton for dementia on the shoulders of a
few citizens, but the professor places
it where he believes it belongs, in the
latitude. and longitude of Kansas.
It cannot be denied that this latest
diagnosis explains much. 1t explains
the smauness of Kansas potatoes as
well as the ebullitiens of Mrs. Nation.
1t explains Kansas cyclones and Kan
sas politicians. 1t explains the weather
and Mary Ellen Lease. 1t is as rich in
explanations. indeed. as the last act of
a meiodrama.
Nevertheless. we fancy the diagnosis
will not be gratefully accepted by Kan
sas citizens. For the thought that one
is predestined to madness because of
ones geographical location will de-
prive the great bulk of Kansas citizens
of hope and may deprive Kansas of
many of those citizens. For while the
professor does not state that a native
of Kansas becomes normal as soon as
he leaves the state, he suggests be-
tween the lines of his utterance how
the Kansas citizen may save his chill
dren.
It is not probable, therefore, that the
university mans diagnosis will be ac-
cepted as the last word on Kansas.
There is a nursery nonsense rhyme
that runs something like this:

ARIzoNiAN CALAMITY

Since young Lochinvar rode out of
the West, the Oceident has been a
synonym for masculine self-sacrifice
and for gallantry, but it has remained
for Arizona to furnish the most recent
proof that 1.-THE ladies, God bless
EN- is still the favorite toast drunk
in the land of the setting sun. A citi-
zen of Tombstone, Ariz., having de-
cided, modestly enough, that he was
something of a matrimonial prize and
being averse to placing under the ban
of his disapproval all other women by
his voluntary act of selecting one, has
determined to rattle himself off, one dol
lar a chance. With the money thus OBJ
tanned he and the winner Of the prize
will begin housekeeping.

anonymous, a great unknown) will
thus make it one in fact. But the deli
cacy that prompted the Arizonian's ac-
ton, his reluctance to offend the many
by declaring in favor of the one, his
willingness to give everybody a chance
Che has mentioned no age limit) must
convince the public that whatever risk
there is in the matrimonial venture is
assumed by him.
For whereas the holder of the lucky
ticket will have tolerably clear idea
of what she is getting, he, because of
his gallant Discrimination to make it
anything but a free for all race, must
expect the worst and will doubtless
get it. 1t would be comforting to be-
lieve that the Arizonian's heroism will
be appreciated by the right sort of
woman, but with regret it must be
confessed that such -abnegation is
seldom rewarded in this world.
However, no matter what unfortu-
nate turn the course Of events may
take in this matter of the Tombstone
citizens matrimonial venture, it is most
probable that his gallantry will be ap-
preciated by the gentler sex as a whole.
There will not be that disquieting
thought that one woman possesses that
which all other women lack On the
contrary, the Arizonian's commendable
humility will convince all womankind
that she is stin securely poised on her
pedestal and that. rumors to. the con-
trary notwithstanding, she has not ex-;
changed her superiority for equality.

MccLELLAN's FIGHTING BLOOD

Mayor Mcclellan, of New York.
probably had no idea what trouble he
was brewing for himself when he in
dulged in the remark that the old
Adam in him sometimes cried out for
war. He was talking to delegates to
the peace convention and it was rather
startling thing to say underline cir
cumstances. But Mcclellan voiced the
sentiment of a very respectable ma
jority of his fellows, the peace conven-
tons to the contrary Notwithstanding.
His utterance is not to be taken as in
dicative of a bloodthirsty disposition.
1t was not the warriors son in him that
spoke, but just the ordinary man who
is sickened by the balderdash that is
INDUCED in by those excellent persons
who are writing and talking platitudes
about the era of universal peace.
There are some things that require
the arbitrament Of the sword. In the
abstract we are all for peace of course,
hut when some other power steps on
Uncle n Sans eorns it is remarkable
with what unaninity we, forget our
peaceful intentions and insist on
punching somebody's head. When
Mayor Mcclellan spoke of the old
Adam in him he referred to that belli-
costly which is latent in all of us and
which is aroused SO promptly when our
rights are invaded. 1t is by no means
the spirit that inspired Col. Roosevelt
to advise that we speak softly and
carry a big stick. In that advice there
is agplunderous instinct. 1t is the spirit
Of the marauder who Ensembles in
order to strike the harder. Mcclellan
does not declare for war, he simply adj
nits the necessity of a resort to arms
under provoking conditions. War is, of
course, deplorable, but peace may be
too dearly bought sometimes.
The mayor of New York voices the
spirit of his time and country. We
want peaee-anq we will have it if we
have to fight for it.
