Jacques
HAZEL KIRKE."

The close of the first act of Hazel Kirke," which the Poli players are presenting so successfully at the Jacques this week, contains as ab- sorbing scene as anything the com pany will offer this summer. Dun stan Kirke, hard-hearted, quick tempered, implacable old miller. has promised the hand of his daughter Hazel to the squire of the village, Aaron Rodney, who has had her edu- cated for the assumption of the honor of the mistress of his ancestral home. The idea that the girl may have other plans for her future never crosses the mind of the self opinionated .Kirke, whose word has never been either questioned or broken in all his long life. When he learns that Hazel has given her heart to a man other than the one whom he had selected and whom he had told her was to be her husband. his rage knows no bounds. Not only is the resentment against the girl be- cause she has disobeyed him and used her own Judgment, for in the days when the action Is laid no self respecting young woman ever dreamed of exercising her faculty of selection in the matter of husband. but the most important consideration of all is the fact that she has forced him to the breaking of his word and the losing of the reputation of life times accumulation. So in speech full of the bitterest reproach and in- yective when she has declared her intention of fidelity to the man she loves she drives her out from his home with a curse as narrowing as the famous one in King Lear.

(Copyrlgnt, Dy JoSepn D. 6oWAos.l Probably you have heard of the great feud between Hapley, the en- tomologist, and Prof. Hawkins.
 it began years and years ago, with a revision of the microlepidoptera (whatever these may be) by Hawkins, in which he extinguished new spe- cies created by Hapley. Hapley, who was always quarrelsome, replied by a stinging impeachment of the entire classification of Hawkins.
 It was long struggle, vicious from the beginning, and growing at last to pitiless antagohism.
 In 1891 Hawkins, whose health had been bad for some time, published some work upon the "mesoblast" of the Deaths Head Moth. But the work was far below his usual standard, and gave Hapley an opening he had cov- eted for years.
 In an elaborate critique he rent Hawkins to tatters, and Hawkins made reply, halting, intellectual, with pain ful gaps of silence, and yet malignant. There was no mistaking his will to wound Hapley, nor his incapacity to do 1t. But few of those who heard him realized how i'll the man was.
 Hapley had got his opponent down, and meant to finish him. He followed with simply brutal attack upon Hawkins, in the form of paper upon the development of moths in general. The rejoinder of Hawkins was to catch the influenza, to proceed to pneumo- mia, and to die. .-
 In his private thoughts Hapley could not forgive Hawkins for dying. It left Hapley's mind with a queer gap in it. For 20 years he had worked hard, sometimes far into the night, and seven days a week, with micro scope, scalpel, collecting-net and pen, and almost entirely with reference to Hawkins. It had killed Hawkins; but it had also thrown Hapley out of gear. so to speak, and his doctor advised him to give up work for time and rest So Hapley went down into quiet village in Kent, and thought day and night of Hawkins, and of good things it was now impossible to say about him.
 At last Hapley began to realize in what direction the preoccupation tended. He determined to make fight for it, and started by trying to read novels. But he could not get his mind off Hawkins, white in the face, and making his last speech.
 It was on the third day afterwards that Hapley became aware of novel addition to the local fauna. He was working late at the microscope, and the only light in the room was the brilliant little lamp with the special form of green shade.
 One eye was over the instrument. With the other eye Hapley saw, as it were. without seeing. z.- ....-.

BLACK PATTI TROUBADoURs.

Americas greatest aggregation of negro Thespians will be the attrac- ton at Poli's tonight. Black Patti's lyric triumphs in all the leading music cities of Europe and America are without parallel. She is one of the most popular prima donnas in the world, and has probably sung be- fore the largest and most distin- guished audiences that ever assem- bled to applaud cantatrice. In ad- dition to her beautiful voice and ex- quisite art, nature has endowed her with bright intellect and qneenly form, and if 1t were not for the ac- cident of race and color, she would undoubtedly attain distinction in grand opera equal to that enjoyed by Melba, Calve, Albana and world famous diva after whom she is named. For ten years she has won fame and glory with the Black Patti Troubadours, the most popular band of darky play-folks ever organized. Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents. Telephone 116.

one eye to the other. The table-cloth was of the material called tapestry by shopmen and rather brightly col. ored. The pattern was in gold. with a small amount of crimson and pale blue upon a grayish ground. At one point the pattern seemed displaced, and there was a vibrating movement of the colors at this point.
 Hapley suddenly moved his head back and looked with both eyes. His mouth fell open with astonishment.
 It was a large moth. or butterfly. its wings spread in butterfly fashion.

If you, or any member of your fam lily, can do fine handwork, you are most fortunate this year, for this is the day when the pushing, boastful sewing-machine must take back seat. Hand-sewing has come in" with vengeance. retiring machine made work into the background with the folk that set the pace in aress. And so the modest little woman with skill in her fingers may make for her own women folk the fashionable frocks and blouses of the day that will compare with the S30 and s20 lingerie waist purchased at the shops. A good pattern secures the right cut, the hand work is thea the whole thing.
 Even the seams nowadays are made by hand, ard the sewing of yards of frilling and insertion and lace. Yes terday we saw lovely white null trimmed with cream-colored lace and insertion, very simply trimmed, but the work so exquisite, the de- sign so becoming, we voted it the Oret- tiest blouse noticed thus far. The wearer's whole costume was worth mentioning; white mohair skirt. a long black silk cloak, a beautiful white ostrich feather boa, black chip hat with one white plume, shiny black shoes and gloves.
 Black and white looks chic again, is particularly effective for woman with black eyes, seems to intensity their darkness. A neat little black and white costume. easily reproduced. consisted of a plaited cloth skirt, white null blouse, and most attractive girdle wrap. The deep girdle was almost a coat in itself, and really be- came one by the addition of an upper shoulder part which was more than shoulder straps and yet not bolero. The dainty wrap was adorned with rows of friils of narrow black ribbon, and looked quite dressy. For the or dinary summer day such dress would be just right for comfort, the upper part being adjustable. easily slipped on or of.
 Black silk gloves, of course, have gone up in price now that the heavy kid ones are getting bit warm. Time was when one could get nice pair

THE LATT AMENDMENT.
The United States as Well as Cuba
 on Trial

Baltimore News
 In the Nicely extradition case. decid- cd by the Supreme Court on January l4. 1901. the highest tribunal of the United States set forth the reasons for it's decision that Cuba must be regarded as foreign territory in lan- guage that shed light on something more than a mere legal question. Tae Court declared-and, what Is highly significant. the Court was unanimous in this case-that by the joint reso- lntion under which var was declared against Spain this country expressly disclaimed any purpose of exercising sovereignty, jurisdiction or control oyer Cuba, except for the pacification thereof and asserted the determina- tion of the United States. 'hat object being accomplished, to leav" tho gov crpment and control or una To la own people" Further on, the court lays it down that "as between the I-rftod States and Cuba that island Is territory hold in trust for the inhabi- tants of Cuba. to whom r1ghiuliN belongs, and to whose exclusive con- trol it will he surrendered when Std- ble government shall have been cs- tablished by their voluntary action.' This is not taken from resolution adopted by an anti-imperialist meet ing: it is not a plank in Democratic platform: 1t Is the unanimous dcrldra- tion of the Supreme Court of tho Uni ted States made in the decision ar an important case on o,-huary IA 1901. more than two years after the close of the war with spain. It would hardly have been possible Tor the court to put in stronger language it's sense of the moral o' ligation Of the Tinted States to secure to Cuoa an absolutely independent govern ment.
 Of course. this declaration of the views of the Supreme Court had not. and could not have, any 'nding force upon the legivlative or executive ne- partment of the Government. The treatment to be met"d out to Cuba was question of publ" policy. not of legal adjudication. The Supreme Courts statement ipon 1t was statement of opinion. not mandatory principle of action. But. while It could not prescribe what the nation al policy was actually to he. it did law down with as near an approach to final authority as couil possibly ne attained what that policy must be II it was to comply with the require ments of good faith.

GIRL FARM HANRS,
Indiana Farmer May Have Solved the Labor Problem.

Indiana Farmer May Have Solved the
 Labor Problem.
 Farmer George Winterwood. who lives near Galveston, Ind. believes ha has solved the problem of farm labor. It is generally the complaint that when the threshing and hay harvest Is on the farmer cannot get hands for love or money. While threading was under way at his farm his daughter had number of young women as her guests. George Sailors, one of tho farm men, complained that he was in reei of wheat pitchers. The young women volunteered to do the work. Sailors did the driving while Grace Winterrowd and Mary Streeter did tine loading. The other girls of the party did the pitching. The girls worked like beavers and grew very red in the face. but they were determined and would not give up. Their loads, de- spite prediction, held together until the machine was reached. In fact. the veterans of the field could not have improved upon their labor. When the machine was reached the feeders cr:- ed for mercy, as the separator was soon choked down. the young women threw the sheaves so fast. Tho only drawback to the whole undertakings was that the young women became veSy much frightened when a shock was upturned and mice scampered to all directions. They scampered and grabbed their skirts in terror, but quiet was soon restored. Farmer Win. terrowd says the young women are to be depended upon and in the future when men fail he knows the remedy Hiss daughter Miss Grace assistant agent of the interurban station at Gal weston, has made hay. shucked corn and done various farm work. She saya she prefers 1t to cooking and indoor work.
 We girls thought it was great sport" said one of the party. "our mammas didn't want us to work, but when that George Sailors said we wouldn't amount to anything and only be in the way we made up our minds to show him what kind of girls we were and that we could do something beside washing dishes. My: How we enjoyed dinner~It seemed so good to have some one else cook it. would like to try the work again"
 Winterrowd was in fear all the time that the girls would fall into the sepa- rator and through the rick of the wagon. his fears were groundless. They were as nimble as cats and kept the unpopular Sailors at their com mand as driver and sought to make him feel humlliated for the sighting opinion he had expressed of their abilities. He was generous enough take the girls up to the village. pub licly announce his mistake, and tre them to fec cream and csr6y.
