THEATRICAL NOTES

'The Two Orphans" which has held
the stage for over a score of years
seems to be one Of the few plays that
will never lose interest. Melodramatic
in the extreme, its story is one of ex-
ceptional interest and cannot fail to
excite the sympathy Of any audience.
Inseparable from THE Two Orphans
is the familiar name of Kate Claxton,
who will be seen here in the role Of
Louise" the blind sister, at the Grand
Opera House on Wednesday, February
10. "The Two Orphans" is one of the
most remarkable dramas of the old
school. free from the ''realisms" of a
river Of real water. a fire engine, steam
boats or the introduction of life stock
or horses, or cows to gain the public
sympathy and favor. There is nothing
but-its pure heart interest in this story
Of poor blind girl. lost from her sis
ter and subjected to all kinds Of wrongs
and abuse. which the story surely re-
calls to every lover of the stage.
TOO Proud to Beg" is the title Of
Lincoln j. Carters latest effort and
will be seen at the Lyceum today for
three days, with the usual matinees.
The plot is a good cone. consistently
told IN such manner as to thrill one
from the beginning TO the finale. It
tells the old story but with much new
ness and novelty OF an INSCRIPTIONS
character falling in love with another
mans wife; his conniving schemes in
getting the husband out of the way,
his eager words Of love to the wrong
ed wife. his reception OF scorn and
contempt by the noble woman and fin
ally the discovery and his ultimate
imprisonment.
"The Child Slaves OF. New York." an
original melodrama by Charles f.
Blaney and Howard Hail. win play an
engagement at the Lyceum on Febru-
airy 4, 5, G. In the presentation of this
play, the management makes a strong
bid for the favors Of the lovers of
strong melodrama. AS may be in
ferred from the title, "The Child Slaves
Of New York" depicts the hardships OF
the child slaves Of the great metrop-
oils.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FANATICS.

If we are to have the race question
forced upon us, it is most important
that st shall be treated by those Of
temperate views and sane minds. In
the nrst place. It Is apparent that we
should have 30 race question were 1t
not for the dereliction Of the whites
themselves. There are about five white
voters in the state to every colored
voter. If then the colored vote is a
menace 1t is the whites who allow 1t to
be so. One ballot in the hands Of
black man cannot outweigh five bal
lots cast by white men. In those
states where the negroes predominate
the question is very different.
Now an effort is being made 10
arouse the negroes to heroics over the
prospect OF a lost ballot. The colored
man who wants TO retain his right to
vote cum bo better engaged. He should
rather make a crusade against the SELL
ing of negro votes. to the end that such
conduct shall be regarded as a crime
not only against the state, but against
the race.
For upon what ground do the Demo
Gratis propose to disfranchise the ne
groes Because 80 many OF them sell
their votes. They may protest TIL
doomsady and talk Of martyrdom. but
the fact win remain that every time a
colored man sells his vote he gives the
Democrats an argument, and brings
disfranchisement nearer. The best way
to defeat the project OF disfranchise-
ment is for the negro TO convince the
people that he proposes to regard the
ballot as sacred trust-jnst as he
used to regard it.

city needs is more money every year
for running expenses" Yes, that is
true. but the source Of revenue is con-
stanuy Increasing. AS the city grows
its properties increase in valuation, and
more money can be collected without
raising the tax rate. What the city
really needs IS system under which
the taxes levied are actually collected.

the theatre himself? Does he know
the nature OF the performances from
personal observation2 He tells us OF
a young woman who claims that her
spirituality has been killed by the the
atre. Perhaps however, that spiritual
ity in the beginning was a mere sham.
and perhaps she mistook an attack OF
dyspepsia for spirituality or it may
have been that she selected some play
to her taste and thus avoided all Of
the performances With arc as moral
and elevaung as many Of the sermons
we hear.
1t is possible to sec degrading plays.
but It is also possible to avoid them.
1t is possible for young people to sit
at home and read their Bibles while
their friends are seeing vicious plays
but It Is also possible that the young
people may be better off at the theatre
than alone in the back parlor.
These rigid ideas are accomplishing
two things: they are keeping out of
the church many of our young people
who cannot think that good plays
dance in the home Of a friend and an
occasional game Of cards are wrong;
and they encourage a sort Of hypocrisy.
since two-thirds Of the membership OF
the church offend IN one or more Of
these particulars
The age Of sSlemn-vlsaged Puritans
is past. If any church wants to insist
on its members denying themselves
these amusements. It has the right. But
it must not assume a superior attitude,
roll its eyes heavenward and consign
to perdition all who win not see
through its blue goggles.

The only proper solution of the prob lens that grow out of the tariff laws and regulations between the United States and Candada, lies in a reeiprOc- ity that would make trade between the two ocountries as free as its between New York and Pennsylvania, but no such a desirable solution to all the people con- cerned is immediately probable, so it behooves the United States to insist that the tariff regulations shall not be so manipulated that Americans get the worst of iJ as is now the case in the north. Our government should insist that American merchants be given the right to carry Canadian goods in bond to sell for reshipment to the Canadian side, duty free, or it should cut oil some of the privileges that it is now giving Canada.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

The question has been asked as Go what difference it would make, if the election which vii. be held next Tues day is not legal proceeding as far as the eouncilmeu are concerned, whether those men who are now serving shall be reelected or whether others should be chosen. It is asked if the title of the council to be elected is not good why would not the same objection apply if the present councilmen were reelected as would were the new council com posed of different men entirely.
 The answer is simple. If it shall be held that an election for city council men held on any other day than the first Tuesday in April is not legal, then those men who were legally elected to the council at the last election prior to the passage of the recent act of con- gress would have the right to continue in that body. Therefore, if the same men as those who were chosen at the last legal election should be again elected to the council, their right to exercise the powers of the office could in no event be successfully attacked. They would be legal city councilmen. If they could not hold office undeE the new election, then they would be enti- tied to hold over from the preceding election.
 To illustrate, let us suppose some one not now ou the council were elected next Tuesday and sright to hold office were attacked by any citizen. He. would be brought into court by quo warran,o proceedings and asked by what authority he held office. He would have to answer by setting forth his election June 2l, 1904 If the court held that no councilman could be legal ly elected ou that date, he would be not entitled Go the office. But, if g mem ber oI the present council were re- elected, and he were brought into court in the same manner to show by what warrant he exercised the powers of his office. he could SC, forth both titles to the oHcs. lie could say chat he had been elected so the office by the quail 6ed electors Jaac i8, 1908, and that he had qualified sa5er that election by taxing the oa.h y-ce, etc. He could also SC, up .4e fac. that he had been elected ia the same manner June 2l, 1904, and bad guaIiEcd under Una, cleo ton. 1.-the cour. held tha, he was not entitled to the office under enc of the elec,ioas, .- would have to hold that be was entitled to it under the other,
 By re-elec,iug the men who are now in office next Tuesday the city will have a legally qualified city council all the time, no matter what the court may hold as to the validity of the election.

ALBANIA, day ana night, this fire was never
allowed to die out, but was kept for both

went out dire misfortune would befall
the tribe
The first Indian town established in In
dian territory was Alabama, named for
the old home. In Alabama, the tribal fire
was built and the permanent home of
the Creeks established. Since that time
there have been established forty-four
Indian towns that still exist. From this
central fire embers were taken to start
a town fire in each town. AS 1t was es-
tablished an official fire-keeper was chosen
whose duty it was to sec that the fire
was kept constantly in his house. This
was a great honor for an Indian. and if
he was unfaithful the punishment was
banishment from the tribe. In winter
and the hottest days of summer, the
fire was kept alive. Once a year there
was secret visit of certain medicine
men 10 these towns to investigate the
faithfulness of the fre-keeper. An un-
faithful report meant banishment of the
keeper and the hatred of every member
of the tribe.
In the full-blood districts the Indian
town fires are maintained to this day
An Indian town is not town in the
American sense, but may be merely a
