From the Boston Herald
Mr. Edson's assertion that the country
IS food drunk will be indorsed by the abb
stemious individual who has been watching
the effect of this modern form of idolatry
with almost as much amusement as alarm.
For 1t is part of the worlds play to In
dulge in nothing with moderation. Speed
madness food madness. money madness are
phases of the same mental state caused by
some mysterious influence which experts
have been too occupied with other matters
to considet. Regarded as disease, they
may come 10 1t by and by, when business Is
slack and they can spare time for expert
ments on the eater. But, after all. why not
let men die as they like best?

wards a better class of literature
among people who heretofore read
merely trashy stuff. is very crafty

read better quality of matter and
the call for books of scientific ma
ture is also very conspicuous. There
are but few books we carry in stock
which are not sought and we are
glad that the library has passed such
an excellent year"
The board will not buy more books
for some time, having recently

Yesterdays Nashville American
says of Paul Gilmore's Capt Debon-
naire," which will be presented at
The Kentucky theatre tomorrow after
noon and night:
Many of the people in the two big
audiences that greeted Paul Gilmore
in Capt. Debonnaire' at the Ven
dome "Wednesday afternoon and
night had probably cecn the thrill.
ing play before. but il appeared to be
the unanimous verdict OF those who
saw ii this time that they had seen
the master of the role. Mr.. Gilmore
Is an ideal Debonnaire in stature.
voice, expression and bearing. and he
was appreciated to the. fullest ex-
tent. There are some. perhaps. who
do not appreciate the kind of sword
playing and daring that belongs to
the character of Debonnaire, but this
could not prevent them from fully
approaching the play as Paul Gill
more and his company presented 1t.
There Is not tiresome dialogue or
an uninteresting feature in the show,
for in the dramatization of the play
Gilmore presents leaves out much OF
the book narrative and condenses the
play into steady action. There is di-
versity in the scenes and novelty in
the historical costumes and dances
and the scenes are as natural as his
tory depicts things in that age. 1890,
The performance is iniated with a
prologue. in which perfect scene of
the governors house in Quebec is
shown. The four succeeding acts
are equally well staged and the seem
cry is SO natural that il adds much to
the beauty of the performance
Mr.. Gilmore is about as true pict
ure of the D'Artagnan and Debon-
naire type of French gallant as one
could well imagine. and those who
had seen him only in drawing-room
plays could hardly believe that they
were looking at Gilmore. He has
the bearing of military gallant and
wears that fearless smile that proves
him an actor of diversified quail
ties. He is also an ideal lover aud is
emotional enough when the occasion
demands.
