Hon. JOHN G. ROSE, of Baltimore county,
spoke at large Republican mass-meeting at
Middletown, Md, on Saturday night last. He
thoroughly exposed the whole subject of the
Poe amendment, which he declared was
scheme to beat the Constitution of the United
States. He said the amendment would dis
franchise $4,000 white citizens of the State.
He ridiculed the efforts of the Democratic or
ganization to fool the people over the dangers
of negro domination, and used figures to prove
the utter falsity of such assertions.

ACTING is NO ART"

To call acting an art and to speak
OF actors as artists is pose that cam

It is common enough TO hear an actor
discourse upon my art" and 10 discuss
it as if it was something originated by
him, which had it's life and being solely
through his own Will power and effort
There is d great deal of cant and no
little egotism in this attitude. Generally
it is assumed by men and women whose
abilities are small little minds are most
likely to glorify seif-but occasionally
players of unquestioned talents fall into
the same error.
If acting IS not art, these may ask,
what is it?
1t is Il talent, a gift, birthright, I'M
attainable by Individual initiative.
The fact may be pointed out that all
players who amount to anything i'm

fective today than they were ten years

Science appeals materially, art spir-
itua1ly, was the view put forward by
Forbes Robertson, the eminent Eng
lish actor, in an address on Art before
the Canadian Club. short while ago.
Mr.. Robertson spoke Of the little galaxy
of wonderful men Of whom John RusRin
was the trumpeter whose efforts had
brought the Victorian epoch out of the
dense darkness in which 1t was enyel-
oaed.
The whole of his life, said Mr.. Robert
son, had been devoted to arts-the dra-
ma and painting. It had been his pleas
ure to know great many eminent
artists and he felt that one could not
too often speak Of the refining and SOFT
ening influence of art. He was aware
that they were all busy men. but in this
strenuous. busting life they needed the
distraction that art gave. In England
and, in a large measure, in Canada, they
were advancing along right lines
The opening of the Victorian epoch
was blank The buildings were cut Of
proportion, the public halls were ugly
and no attention was paid to interior
decorations. It was a black period for
art. There came a time when a mere
handful Of men, poor men, and young
men, struggled with high aims TO adj
vance art, IN architecture, sculpture.

decorations Of homes.

Love and the Man viii be the at
traction at the Columbia this week, pre-
scented by Mr. FORBES Robertson and his
London company. at the head of which
is Miss Kate Rorke, one of the most
popular of English actresses. Mr.. Rob
ertson's presentation of this new play
of Henry V. Esmond has been some
thing Of a revolution in dramatics. be-
cause of the new attitude which Mir.
Esmond has taken in his handling Of
the love of an honorable man and viz
tuous woman. His ideals were high and
he has brought them through series
of most dangerous situations without
so much as soiling the skirts of either
the man or the woman The interpreta-
ton of the part of Gerald Wagoneur by
Mr.. Robertson seems to have given him
a new place in the theatrical world 1t
has earned for him in Canada popular
favor as the foremost emotional actor
on the stage.
The story of Love and the Man" is
rather out of the ordinary in its treat
ment of the theme on which is builded
most Of the successful dramas. AT ev-
cry turn the play teaches duty; duty to
country, duty to ones self. and duty to
the laws of man and heaven. This les
son Is carried to the very last lines of

woman in the presence Of her dead hus-
band
