In the announcement of the final retire ment of this revered and distinguished actor. To the theater-going public it is a last farewell, for a familiar face on the stage becomes that of strang- CT in private life.
 Every devotee of the theater will grieve silently over the passing of this longtime favorite. On the other hand it seems only right that we should give him up gladly. for Jefferson has been on the stage uninterruptedly for more than 60 years. The time left to him, he promises, is not to be a slow prep aratiOn for the grave, but rosy-tinteJ holiday filled with the things he loves best. In his own way of explaining it "I shall begin to enjoy what have looked forward to these many years my long, long holiday, in which I shall enjoy uninterruptedly nature and out door life, my painting. my books and pleasant companionship with wife, children and friends. begin my holi- day at last"
 Jefferson is most widely known for his immortal interpretations of Rip Van Wrinkle and Caleb Hummer in "The Cricket on the Hearth"-both of them classics. Jeffersons impersona- ton of Rip created in us the same admiration as does Kyrle Bellows Rallies now. Both characters are summed in every day life by right thinking people, but on the stage, in the hands of a Jefferson or BelIew, they are forgiven and applauded for their forcefuI presentation.
 F'lawless acting was the sole aim and purpose of Jefferson. In the face of critics who perslstently saw nothing but evil in theatricals he continued year after year to demonstrate that there was a perfect stage art that had no alliance whatever with evil.
 What regrets we may suffer over this recent decision of Jeferson's are doubt less not to be compared with the ac- tors own feelings, in intensity. A man who has won laurels in a profession which he has practised for more than half a century cannot easily put them aside
 The first few days were full of regret, but now delighting in domestic felicity, and in keen anticipation of his long holiday. he is becoming reconciIed to his fate.
 Here's to his health ard his family's good health; may they live long and prosper"

The Unhappy NswIy Wed.

Certain persons of most uncouth hu- nor. desiring to manifest a playful in terest in a bridegroom at Sioux City the other day, slipped a pair of mana cles on his wrist In a despairing ef- fort to rid himself of the restraining bracelets the benedict broke the lock. The train which was to take the bride and groom on q wedding tour was due to start and the man with his bride was compelled to go away wearing the handcuffs.
 We do not as a rule favor a resort to physical force, but there are some con- ditions which may not be met other wise. The Sioux City man would have been perfectly justified in going to any extreme in resisting the strenuous idiots who subjected him and his bride to the humiliation which was put upon them. The humor of the pumpkin seems to be appealed to irresistably by wedding. He cannot refrain. unlezs the groom be of a size to check him. from indulging in tricks which he would not dare essay at any other time. The sacred character of the mar riage ceremony stimulates in the joker some latent phase of idiocy which aims at inviting public ridicule for the new ly wed.
 Ordinarily there are no means at hand for the checking or the punish ment of the wedding joker Occasion ally when he indulges himself in charivari the badgered groom has the excellent sense to take a shot at him, but as a general thing he goes unre- buked. Which assures a bad state of public morals. A people having no re- gard for the marriage ceremony can scarcely be expected to hold in very high esteem the sanctity of the mar riage tie.
 It is not seemly that a man who is about to enter a state which should call out the best that is in him should have his mind fixed on the necessity for arming himself, but it would help vastly in the matter of keeping the wedding practical joker in check, and save many a bride from nerve shat tering experience, if the groom would add a big club to his wedding outfit

The modern dream of a buHet-proof cloth seems impossible Of realization. General Crozier, chief of ordnance of the army, has received reports of tests of an alleged bullet-proof cloth, the conclusion of all of which is that the weight discomfort and expense, togeth- CT with the partial protection afforded by this armor, render it's use for the individual soldier inadvisable. It is said with reference to the use of this cloth for shielding cannon, etc, that the difficulties of protecting it from the weather and the resultant deteriora- tion, and of securing it and holding it against the steel facing, more than counterbalance the gain in weight Tested over wood backing, indentations half an inch deep indicated probable injury to the human body. even if the cloth were not penetrated.

A Noble Indian.

But little attention has been paid to the announcement of the death of Jo- seph. the famous Neg Perces chief. And yet, he was a man who, under circum- stances different to those in which he was placed. would have furnished chapters of human history Of supreme importance and thrilling interest. He was a man with great military genius. brave as lion and generous as few Indians. The war between him and General Howard in 1877 will always re- main one of the celebrated conflicts of American history. There were only a few hundred warriors on each side. but the retreat of Joseph from Oregon. across the Rocky Mountains. through Indaho and Montana, a distance of 15c0 miles, is regarded as a most remarka bIe military feat, considering the fact that the Indians carried their women and children with them. Speaking of this, Gen. sherman is quoted thus:
 ''The Indians throughout displayed a courage and skill that elicited univer- sal praise; they abstained from scalp ing; let captive women go free; did not commit indiscriminate murder of peaceful families. which is usual: and fought with almost scientific skill. us- ing advance and rear guards. skirmish- ing lines and field fortifcetions."

Olnev and Roosevelt.

Four years ago the Hon. Richard Ol- ney wrote an article for monthly magazine and one of his sentences read thus:
 ITO be weak is miserable, and to seem weak, however strong in reality. often comes to the same thing"
 There was nothing wrong with this statement and there was nothing wrong in the plea for peace made in Boston last week by the same MT. o. ney. But the Massachusetts gentle man is just now supporting Parker and Davis on a platform which declares in substance that the United States in committing a crime by making itself strong through it's army and navy. And the New York World, which seems to be speaking for Parker, has declared over the name of it's editor-that Pres ident Roosevelt is dangeous because he has fequently witten and spoken in the same vein in which MT. Olney wrote four years ago.
 President Roosevelt is just as much in harmony with the idea of universal peace as Mir. Olney is, and as MT. Park CT is supposed to be. And it was the same MT. Olney who wrotes the wig orous American note to Great Britain several years ago, taking the world by storm by reason of his daring and courage. Yet the then secretary of state voiced the sentiment of the Amer ican people just as President Roosevelt voices the sentiment of his people when he sets forth that a nation should be strong in order to secure peace and protection against ncroachments.
 Four years ago MT. Olney thought that the United States could not play it's part in the worlds affairs without equipping itself for the part with all the instrumentalities necessary to make its will felt, either through pa cific intercourse and negotiations or through force" Yet now he appears tc have changed his tune and simply be- cause one Of the so-called policies of the democratic party is opposed to na- tional strength and Amerian virility But President Roosevelt has never gone 10 the extent that MT. Olney went four years ago. Just the same he is held up as being dangerous and likely to involve the nation in war. The falsity and insincerity of the demo- cratic writers and speakers at this time are very apparent.

In the NoIth American Review for October, Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton had this to say aoout the first repub- lican president: Among some people. there seems to be a disposition to con- slider the great Lincoln as not ab7o- lutely of sound mind, and whatever gave rise to such a view was undoubt- edIy due to his melancholy tempera- ment and to a certain strain of relig- ious feeling which was occasionally ex- pressed in a manner that was not en- tirely understood. It has even been as serted that he had Authorizations, but appears to be unfounded in fact. Tn a personal letter to the writer his biog- rapher, the Hon. John Hay, says: He was man of deeply religious feelings rather than theological beliefs. There was vein of mysticism which char acterized him in all his life; but he was not what I would call superstitious and so far as I know, he had no hallucina- tions"

NAMES OMMITTED OUT OF RES
 PECT FOR THE DOGS.

In the New York World, today is dispatch from Newport which gives in- ternal evidence tHlt the information which it contained wCs supplied by those to whom it referred. evidently vaIt the desire and expectation that the a. count be printed. IL is an account of a dinner gotten up by a few we3ltay idlers of both sexes, for the pet dogs which some of their number own and fondIe. Ttie occasion, if it cin be cal led l.et, was in the name of a pet dog
 belonging to one Of ahe women, and the guests" were the pet dogs belong
 ing to ether women. The account des- cribes how bie dogs were placed at
 table, gives the bill of fare and the table decorations. and tells how the eight dogs were waited upon by the eight women Who ordinarily dandle them, and how the women were aided in helping the eight dogs, by five men servarts wlose names are consider ately withheld from publication by the news paper telling the story. The ac- count fills nearly a column and con cludas with the statement that kaen the, dogs, the women and some men left the table for the parl0r, harmless and necessary cats were brought in for the dogs to chlse, until they were tired. Then the dogs the women, their men attendants and the buffers went home. The cats were nO- injured.
 Events akin to the one just set forth mGrked old Rome, at the height of its T51tenness, which preceded very. short ly in time the overthrow of that rot tenness by the Uncouth, but honest and manly, barbariaus of the north We do not say that history will repeat it. self literally and absolutely but it can be relied upon to repeat itself substan- tially, and when the sntthesis to the inane nast.ness at Newport, which the world describes, shall occur. the dogs will be Iated as the least offensive and 2s the least objectionable participants in the occasion which the newspaper sets forth with great display, today. One can be considerate toward she dogs. They are not to blame. One

HOW TO MEASURE ROLLED
 TWINE.

J. L. Haycock, Canadian inspector of binder tWine, gives the following sim pie rule for determining the length Of twine in ball. Take sample ball, press the strands close together, and note the number required lying side by side to make ar inch. Every strand within the inch will represent fifty feet in the pound. If ten strands lying side by side mike one inch, then a pound will cor4l-n 500 feet: if eleven strands, $50 feet; if twelve strands, coo feet. and SO on Having this rule in mind, any one can test his twine for length end need not be duDed by short measure.

The strained relations existing be- tween the Vatican and the French government has set the Roman Cath ollie church authorities to provide in the best possible way for the protec- tion of their missions in China. Here tofore the French ambassador at Pe- king took personal care of the missions and missionaries within the bounda- ries of the Celestial empire, and when ever any disorder or massacre took place, it was the representative of the French who lodged the protest of the Catholic church at the foreign office Undoubtedly this official standing of the French government as the repre- sentative of Catholic interests in China and the orient greatly enhanced the influence of the minister at Picking. Now it has been found impossible by the Vatican further to rely on France owing both to the hostility of the French ministry and the formal sus- pension of diplomatic relation. Accord ingly the Vatican has entered into di- rect communication with the Chinese empire in order 10 establish if possi- bIe a representative of the Holy See in the capital of China It is propos- ed by the Vatican to appoint nUncio who shall have charge of the settle ment Of all controversies affecting Catholic missions, and 1t is stated to be likely that the Chinese government will soon accede to the Vatican pro posaL
