THE ONCE
FAMOUS
ACTRESS
Adaiaide ReStOrid Celebrates
Her Eighty-eighth
Birthday

Rome, Jan. Tomorrow will be
the SD birthday of Adelaide Ristori,
the famous Italian tragic actress, and
she is already in receipt of a food of
congratulatory messages, many of them
coming from America, where she
achieved her greatest histrionic tri-
umphs.
Ristori was born at Cividale, Italy,
on January 20, 1922. After achieving
fame in her native country she made
her first appearance in Paris in 1855,
winning popular favor and becoming a
rival of the celebrated Rachel, Her
subsequent receptions in other countries
especially in America, were enthusias-
tic. Among her leading parts were
Maria Stuart, Francesca da Rimini,
Myrrha, Phoedra, Judith and Lady
Macbeth. The last character she played
in America with Edwin Booth. She re-
tired from the stage a quarter of a
century ago.
In private life Nine. Ristori is the
Marchioness Rel Grillo. Her husband,
to whom she was passionately devoted,
died some years ago. The Marchioness

Rome. Her only son, Marquis Giorgio,
has for years been one of Queen Mar
garita's misunderstanding, the
queen mother showing the utmost def
erence to his aged mother, going oc-
casionally to see her and always dis
tinguishing her by her notice when the
two are in the same room. Nine. Ris-
tori has also a daughter, Donna Bran
ca, who is of quite exceptional beauty,
and is her mothers stay and comfort,
accompanying her everywhere.
The celebrated actress is now a little
old woman, with pronounced features,
sparkling eyes, and hair that is still
abundant. Her hands, covered with
magnificent rings and with silk mits,
are as eloquent as ever, and as she uses
them to emphasize her meaning, and
her beautiful modulated voice rises and
falls, one can realize even now, glimpses
of where her power lay in the past.
Her daily life is simple in the eX-
treme. She rises somewhat late, after
cup of coffee in bed, and if the day
is fine, goes for drive in a closed
carriage, together with Donna Blanca.
She returns after an hour or two, has
her grandchildren in to amuse her, and
about noon they all have lunch togther,
After lunch she rests, and usually does
not go out again. In the evening she
seldom goes out, except to the theater
and there she is often to be seen, es
Ipecially on first nights. She made Q
special effort when King Edward wa,
in Rome last year, and went to the
English embassy on purpose to be pre-
sented to his Majesty, whose father
had been one of her most fervent ad
mirers

Intermediate Measures 10 the Present Extremes

mo human being is entirely justified in
remaining within the liability of such
offenses, yet the questions involved in
a successful and satisfactory termina-
tion of the difficulty are so varied ac-
cording to the case, and of so little pub,
lie Importance, that it would seem rea-
sonable to allow legislation of the two
extremes rather than have no pro-
tective measure because of the moral
technicality required by an intermedi-
airy measure We have a remedy at
law for killing by the bullet, but the
cartoon, the ridieule, the satire, the
falsehood and all the avenues through
which these agencies pass are not with
in reach of the laws governing our civil
conduct. The law does not reach the
more subtle and insidious devices prae-
ticed. To deny a man the right to crit
icise another is taking from him a
right born in him. Yet this criticism
may be more terrible in its effect than
the blow of club or the encounter of
a bullet. The rights of a man are so
closely mingled with the deadly effects
Of these practices that it is doubtful
if we ever have a law which will fill
this gap of go-between remedy.
Since the measure is not demanded by
the public at large, Oregon can wash
its hands, as a people, from any en-
barrassing effects of the operation of
the proposed law, and allow the ambi-
tious legislature to shoulder the re-
sponsibility. FRED R. WATERS.

legislature by an irresistible and over.
whelming demand of the general pub.
lie, is question which may also cut
some figure before the post becomes a
fixture in Wilson avenue or Marion
square. The bill is weak in some re-
spects. Even those favoring the meas
ure think some amendment necessary
to make it just the thing. For instance,
there is no promise to give the whip
ping master authority to hire q clerk to
throw in the salt as he lays the lash.
Then some one ought to carry off the
victim after he is cat-tailed to finish.
If he happens to be a high-toned viii
lain, of course he can have his carriage
sent around after him, but if he be poor,
the county will have to pay the ex-
press charges. So the matter of pub
licly whaling fellow for humping
his wife has it's graft in the way of
spending more money just the same as
any other bill created for the public.
The educational feature will be the
great similarity it will present to burn
ing negroes down south, and will save
northern people trip to see how it is
done. The bill is sort of mild pun
ishment for those who do not entirely
kill their beloved. When they kill
them dead the law is supposed to step
in and hang them by the neck. If they
only beat them half to death, then we
shall whip on the backbones every man
who leaves his job unfinished.
Here we have two extremes. The
law will hang for killing and the whip
ping-post will punish for half killing.
Now for a law which will suitably pun
ish those who kill their wives by de-
grees. Women are dying all over the
country by inches under brutal treat
ment, and this is all right in the eyes
of the law. The law winks at this.
But swhen the husband is kind enough
to kill the poor, defenseless woman all
at once, or do the job of half-killing
quick, that she might recover and have
spell of enjoyment waiting for the
next mauling, these fellows are to be
publicly disgraced The smooth-sur-
faced lords who go about the work
daily twisting the thumb screws or TAX
ing a turn at the rack are to escape pun
ishment The cutting word, the insinu-
ating remark, the ridicule, the deliber-
ate lies, the systematic and studied
methods of killing by inches has no
remedy under the law. We have gal
lows on one side and post on the
other, while the bulk of the women,
for whose especial protection this law
was framed, pass between.
To reach this class of offenders
should also be included in the provis-
ions of this proposed legislation. While

question now arises as to who is Legal

Eldora, June 21.-A bill of sale was
filed with the county recorder yestef-
day transferring the properties of the
Hardin County Telephone System, sit
mated in Hardin county, to the Iowa
Telephone Company of Des Moines,
iowa.
The bill of sale was given by j. III.
Bales, who held the property In the
interest of the preferred stockholders,
they having purchased the same at the
referees sale held on Feb. 30, last.
The Iowa people certainly made
clever deal by buying this plant as the
price named in the instrument is but
$4,000, which is about 40 cents on the
dollar of the actual worth OF the plant.
The system includes exchanges at
Eldora, Ackley, and Steamboat Rock,
besides about ninety miles of toll lines
reaching nearly every town In the
county and also the county line in
many directions.
1t is fair to presume that Hardin
county is soon to see telephone war
between the Iowa and the Mutual COM
panies for by the taking over of this
stock by the former company 1t puts
itself in better position to compete
with the mutual, which now holds the
control of majority of the telephone
business in the county.

Mason City, June 21.-The residents
of District No. 3, Mason township, are
much incensed over species of van
dalism which has just been discovere
and which occurred last Friday even
ing. Sometime during the night the
school building was entered by a
number of persons who gained en-
trance by prying off the blinds then
breaking the sash and glass of the
window. On gaining entrance, they
began destroying the interior. The
seats were pulled from the floor, the
blackboard torn from the wall, several
valuable maps torn from their fasten-
ings and scattered about the room, a
fine $50 chart was torn down and de-
stroyed, the books of the library were
taken from the shelves and thrown In
every direction, and the stove over
turned and the pipe bent and battered
till useless. Not content with this they
then broke the window glass from all
the windows. No clue of the culprits
has been found 1t is thought that
someone Of the vicinity did the act, for
it is the opinion that tramps would not
do this as they frequently stopped
over night in the building during the
winter, but never molested or destroy
ed property. The officers of the dis
trict are making an investigation and
will prosecute if the guilty parties can
DE found.

Clinton. June 21.-Clinton is can
didate for the next Iowa state fremen's
tournament, with good prospects OIL
winning out. The tournament comes
to the eastern part of the state in 1901,
and this city is the strongest pldder
for the event. 1t has been seventeen
years since Clinton entertained the
state firemen; and if it is decided to
hold the meet of 1907 here, elaborate
preparations will be made for the
event. The state fiSemen will not de-
eide the next convention place until
late in the summer.
. BY reason of her location, which
is within easy access from all points in
Iowa, and her natural advantages, this
city would make an ideal place for
the next tournament of the state fire
men. The fair grounds, where the
tournament would be held, is on the
north side, and has a splendid half
mile track, and ample accommodation
for the visiting teams. The new Crom-
we'll hotel, which is in course of con-
struction and which will be one of the
finest hotels in the middle west. will
be completed before the time of the
next tournament, and there Will be no
lack of accommodations for the thou
sands of visitors from all sections of
the state who make up the crowds in
attendance at the annual iremen's
tournaments. The Clinton Davenport

the crowds. There would be no diff
ficulty about the raising of funds, and
the probabilities are that should the
next tournament be held in this city
it would be the most successful in the
history of the association.
