was very seldom indeed that he perpe-
trated joke on the stage although
when away from the theater he was
one Of the most humorous of men. On
one occasion. however. Sullivan could
not resist the temptation Of giving an
apt retort to an amateur who. as Rat
cliff to his Richard Ill. had quite
overlooked the necessity Of committing
his words to memory
During the early part of the trag-
edy." says Mr.. Robert NJ. Sillard in his
Life of Barry Sullivan" this too
confident amateur strutted agrceably
and ELECTED applause from his friends
in the front. In the tent scene he
screwed up his energies. and when
Sullivan. as Richard, started from his
knees at the conclusion of his COM

he never went to bed without taking his

Another was addressed, This is for

proved too much for the mail carrier.

Cincinnati, Jan. 1S.-At the Vine
Street Congregational church last
Sunday Herbert S. Bigelow, the pas
tor, took for a text Kipling's line:
They. If their own front door is
shut. they'll swear the whole worlds
warm" Mr. Bigelow said in part:
What you want in a machine is the
maximum amount of power with the
least possible waste. II is not enough
that the engine is able to pull the
load. How much coal does 1t con-
sumo? How much friction is there?
Human society is a machine that
must submit TO the same test As to
the many ;riumphs of our civilization
We may agree, But what is the per-
centage Of loss? What is the cost?
Nay, is ii not obvious that there is
serious flaw in the work?
The past week a man was arraigned
in the local police court for stealing
coal. He had no work and his wife
and a sickly daughter We're suffering
with the cold Therefore. he helped
himself TO coal from a railroad train.
But he was not sent 10 the work
house. The judge said: Il don't
know what I would do IL were
placed in a similar position"
II would seem that there is some
thing out Of order when the deca-
iogue will not work Why do we ap-
prove Of the humanity of this judge
Is it not because we have a vague
consciousness that the misery which
drove this wretch to steal is itself the
consequence Of other and more re-
spectacle forms OF stealing?
We cannot condemn the judge for
suspending the moral law when We
read in the report Of the Industrial
commission Of congress this official
statement.
1t cannot he long before the an
thracite coal business of the United
States In all its enormous extent and
commercial value will be entirely
monopolized by few powerful finan-
cial interests"
