Probably the most novel theater in
the world is that which was recently
opened at Thale, Germany. The thea.
ter is on the summit of the mountain,
and is surrounded on all sides by steep
rocks; the seats for the audience are
hewn out Of the rock and accommo.
date 1000 persons, and the stage,
which is also hewn out OF the rock,
is so feet long by 81 feet wide. No
artificial scenery is used, but the
background is formed by the dense
forest and the outlines of the noun
tains in the distance. The dressing
room for the actors is close at hand in
the forest, but completely hidden from
the audience. The theater is fully
protected from the wind, and its
acoustic properties are so excellent
that every word is heard.

They have some very odd people in
Seattle. A couple lately went through
the marriage ceremony. they allege,
simply as a form of engagement for
marriage at some future time. Mabel
G. johnson, the prospective bride, now
alleges that it took from March 31st,
this year, till the present time to find
out that she and Charles F.. Cook
were legally united. 1t seems H.
cense was obtained in due form, and
the Rev. NJ. A. Matthews performed
the ceremony in good faith, and it was
only when the impatient party who
played the part Of groom insisted upon
another ceremony, that Miss johnson
persistently refused to take the second
degree in the Ancient and Honorable
Order of Married People, and like the
San Francisco girl few months ago,
who simply freed herself from the
silken tie by declaring her marriage
d" all off," without the formality of a
divorce, Miss johnson asks that Judge
Hatch declare the engagement an
nulled on the ground that there was
no intent to be married at that time.
The fact that the young lady is 81
years Of age, and Cook %, old enough
to know better, makes this complica-
ton quite as interesting as that of the
Mayor of Tumwater, who affirms that
he believed himself and persuaded Mrs.
Lefgreen to believe, when he married
her nearly quarter of q century ago,
as girl, but certainly old enough to
know better, that the ceremony was
illegal because he married her under
an assumed name.

Morality By Avoidance.

The following novel announcement
has been made.
Pittsburg, Dec. 11.-New York city
contains too many temptations for
bright young men who attain the po-
sition of president of the United States
Steel corporation. For this reason a
movement is on foot to have the head
quarters brought back to Pittsburg.
The reason that viii BE given is that
the general officers and the president
would keep in closer touch with affairs
at the plants, the most important of
which are in and around this city. The
financial department w1llremain in New
York, to be near the fnanciers who
control it's destiny.
From which it appears that the young
bloods who are selected because of their
smoothness as the heads of great in
stitntions are so weak that they have
to be shielded from the baneful influ-
ences that prevail in the fast society of
the great graft and gambling center of
America-the city of New York.
All of which goes to show that the
mighty ones are not SO strong in those
tendencies that characterize men of real
worth those who are proof against al
tendency toward wrong doing.
No, the men at the head Of the
scheming institutions of the country
have been and now are men whose tai
ents lie along special directions
veloped by years of practice in fooling
the public. That is why they are Sc
lected. But they are not able to re-
press the same influences they are
selected to exert.
CHdFlcS M. SCHWduU was SFnOOCn
one-but he had little resisting power
and had to be retired.
w. E. Corey, the present president
is to be retired because he, too, was
unable to resist the influence of graft,
corrupting, gambling and general moral

old jaunty air. He did not grasp hands
right and left and fling the merry quip
or the seasoned chestnut at his col
leagues. When recess was taken and
the solons retired to the cloakrooms
Chauncey was not there with the latest
story from his European travels. In
stead the Peach sat silent, alone and
breeding at his desk. He was thinking
perhaps, whether it had paid HIM to
grab the money of widows and orphans
for mythical legal services; whether it
had paid him to be anything but square,
open and aboveboard.
He might have been thinking of that
suggestion of The Journal that ne
resign. Restitution and resignation are
hard things to face.
But it is better sometimes to face
them than to be obliged to dispise ones
self. Chauncey has still an opportun-
ity. Minneapolis Journal.
But the Peach, like some other
peaches we all know of, ought to have
been thoughtful long ago. It is use
less to be thoughtful at the wrong
time. Those who think of going into
graft. whether as a U. S. senator, or
member of joint committee on coun-
ty organization when a new county is
being organized and district attorney
ship is in sight-in either of these or
any other graft event-it would be well
to think twice before acting.
Graft was once popular-th aver
age man "winked the other eye" at
it. But that time has passed and
grafters and grating have both been
relegated to the list of things disgrace
full. The highwayman, the forger, and
the sneak thief is not now so low in
the esteem of thinking people as the
grafter-there is none so low. He
lives in the lower end of the lowest
street-in the basement.

The Star of Stars.


The Ladysmith News being the only
paper in the county which cares
continental about the interests of the
taxpayers, will of course, be the only
paper that will discuss the matter.
Ladysrnitl News, referring to sherif's
bills.
Among many other things which we
have occasion to be thankful for on
this Thanksgiving, is the fact that we
are not afflicted with the abnormal
amount of egotism, gall or bile, which
prompted the above remark. While
we often disagree with our brother
editors of the county, have occasional
tits with them, land expect IN the nat
ural course of events to have scrap
now and then in the future, yet we
believe they have the interests Of the
county a. heart as veil as we our
selves, End as much as has Brother
Campbell.
The Star has always advocated econ
omy and exposed extravagant expend-
itures. BY the way, we don't notice
Brother Campbell saying any very
strenuous things against the string of
useless county institutions which are
proposed.-Glen Flora Star.
We take water. In the language of
Dorothy Dix, we ego away back and
sit down" We didn't mean it. We
meant to except the Star-mentally
we did, but the Faber failed. Truly,
we acknowledge for the past, the pres
ent and the future, that the Star has
the interest of taxpayers at heart. If
we ever make slip Of the kind in
she future, we want our readers, and
especially the editor Of the Star, to
remember this acknowledgement of
the Stars inherent intrinsic and en-
trinsic merit. The Star has said many
good things in the past and we say to
it in the language of the little boy to
his grandmother when she ''teetered'
him on her foot: 'do it gin, do it
gin"
Seriously now, laying aside all jokes
and getting to the facts, isn't it true
that the News is the only paper in
the county, excepting and always ex-
cepting the Star, that has said word
in the interest of tax payers? If we
are wrong-if some item or paragraph
has appeared in some prominent or
remote corner of some county paper
IN The recent or distant past, and has
escaped our attention, we would gladly
be advised.
The Ladysmith News believes that
it is one of the functions of journal
ism to look after matters affecting the
interests of taxpayers. 1t believes
that failure to do this is dereliction
of duty which is inexcusable So what
the News says along this line is as a
duty and not for pleasure. Again we
say: do it gin, Bro. Maloney, do it
gin
