JAMES QUiN.
Reign Of tho Great Irish Act0s In the
Eighteenth Century.

Reign Of tho Great Irish Actos In the
Eighteenth Century.
The son Of an Irish barrister. himself
Intended for the bar, hack Of means
and consciousness of ability sent Quin
on to the stage. He made his first
success in 1920. when he persuaded
Christopher Rich 10 allow him to ap-
pear as Falstaf In The Merry Wives
Of Windsor" After Booths death he
advanced still further in public esteem
by what he modestly described on the
playbili as Ibis attempt" to follow that
trugedian In hts greatest part OF Cato.
He 80 delighted the audience by his
attempt that after his delivery OF the
line Thanks to the gods, my boy has
done his dutyw they cried: Booth out
done! Booth outdoner' And after he
had spoken the then famous soliloquy
on the immortality Of the soul the en-
thuslasm reached such a pitch that In
answer to d vociferOus demand for an
encore Quin was obliged to repeat the
speech.
From this night Quin as an actor
reigned supreme for ten years. 1t was
a solemn reign. dignified. welghty. ira
ditional. He was unsurpassed In such
characters as Falstaff and SlS1ohn
Brute, but In tragedy he did~no more
than uphold with fine elocution, pom
derous majesty and rugged independ-
ence that solemn unreality Of speech
and action which both in England and
France was then considered the ap-
propriate expression Of tragic senti-
ment. AS In France lie Kahn was the
first to restore nature to tragic acting.
so did GarrIck In England by q similar
return to nature expose the dullness,
the llfelessness Of tho settled methods
Of the actors Of the type Of Quin. And
Quln had too much good sense not to
see 1t himself, for as a man he was the
rather coarse embodiment Of that rough
but ready witted, prejudiced but gen.
erous and warm hearted disposition,
which we admire and respect In DR..
Johnson.
The few Of Quln's sayings preserved
to us almost make one regret that he
had no Boswell by bis side. Lords and
bishops, clergy ard gentry. all were
represented In the ciccles Of Quin's
many friends, who delighted In his wit
and conversation. He could hold his
own In an argument with any man.
One instance must suffice. At some
gathering Bishop Warburton, dictate
rial and overbearing, was arguing in
support of royal prerogative. Quin said
he was a republican and thought that
perhaps even the execution Of Charles
l. by his subjects might be justified.
AYE" asked the Indignant Warburton,
"by what lawT by all the laws he
had left them," answered Quin. The
shocked bishop then cited the wrath OF
the divine judgment as visited upon the
regicides; they all, he said Though 1t
Is not strictly true), had come to violent
ends. II would not advise your lord
ship" said Quin, ito make use of that
inference, for II ain not mistaken that
was the case with the twelve apostles"
Horace Walpole greatly admired this
instance OF the players readiness and
aptness Of retort.-H. B. Irving In Fcrt-
nightly Review.

Letter To Mr. Snyder, Coal -deaIe
Staunton, Va


Dear Sir: IF you could get the
exclusive sale Of coal that would
give double heat and cost no more
you'd Jump at 1t wouldn't YOU?
You'd control the trade for a
hundred miles!
Deyoe is like that among paints;
short ton is as good as a long
one of any paint you can uame; a
gallon is worth two of many pop
ular paint,
Suppose you have painted yout
house about once in the years ever
since it was new; you buy the same
mum Der gallons Deyoe, have third
of it left, and it wears six years
Count your costs.
S1.75 gallons for paint; $3.50 q
gallon for pntting it on; you saved
5 gallons; 1928 Is on this job. But
YOU save the whole job of three
years hence: about SIS. Put 'en
together: $lOO.
Can't reckon so accurately as
that; but you see how it goes.
Paint isn't alike any more than
coal. How much more is coal
worth than / slate. 10

Bad Wreck

Perhaps the most disastrous
wreck in the history Of the West.
ern Maryland Railroad, from
monetary standpoint, occurred at
1910 o'clock this morning, on the
grade between Elklns and Tunnel
No. 1. A freight train consisting
of 30 cars loaded with lumber, bark
and pulpwood was being brought
from Durbin q W Mock conduc.
tor, and + Dodson engineer.
Upon reaching the Cheat river
grade the train was cut in two and
one cut brought up to the tunnel
and left on this side; the second
cut was then brought up, and
while the engine was being taken
down the siding so as to attach to
the train the second section. which
lad not been securely fastened
started down the grade, running
into The first section, which was
oosened by the jar and the entire
train started for wild run down
the mountain. twenty-five of the
cars were wrecked, wreckage being
scattered at various places along
the grade. A number of cars were
wrecked at Hartley's cut, the Shoe
maker crossing and in the big cut
lust east of Isner's curve. The track
was torn up for long distance
and it will probably be late Friday
before train service can oe resumed
on the road, although large forces
of men are working at the scene
of the wreck.
Jay Gilpin, fireman. who had ex.
changed places with the front
brakeman coming up the grade,
was seriously, if not fatally injured,
being buried beneath the wreckage
for seven hours in An unconscious
condition. He was brought to 81
kins this morning and taken to his
home at T G Curtis, where he is
still in semi conscious condition.
G X Crawford, brakeman, was
bruised about the face.
Conductor G W Mock was also
slightly bruised. Inter Mountain.

An Important New Law

1.-THE constables and magistrates
Of Highland county would yigor.
ously enforce the following proyis.
ions Of the laws Of 1902-3.4, page
S76, a farmer would have less
trouble getting help:
"The following persons should
be deemed Migrants: Gall persons
who not having wherewith tc
maintain themselves and their fam
lilies, living idly and without en-
ployment and refuse to work for
the usual and common wages given
to othe~ persons in like work in
the place where they then are.
persons wandering or strolling
about in idIeneSs who are able to
work and have not property to sup
port them.
persons leading an idle, i'm
moral or proAigate life, who have
no property to support them and
who are able to WORK ana 40 hot,
cali able bodied persons found
begging for living, or who quit
their homes or leave their wives or
children without the means OF SUBJ
sistence.
"All persons who are able to
work aud do not work. but who
hire out their minor children and
live upon their wages.
1t seems that this law was first
adopted in Georgia and it worked
so wall there that the legislature
adopted it for this state. In Geor-
gia man cannot plead that he has
support from his parents, or either
Of them, or other relations or
friends. and therefore don't need to
work. He must show that he
himself has property upon which
to live without working at the or
binary wages or works enough to
earn a sufficient amount to pay a
reasonable board and buy reasona-
BILE clothes; in other words, must
work and make a living when able
bodied enough to do so.-lt was
adopted to prevent idleness either
among the class known as dudes or
among the class belonging to plain
and ordinary families. 1t is a good
law and should be enfWced.-As it
is now it is dead letter GU the
statute books. The section follow
ing the one quoted from makes it
the duty of constables in counties
and police officers 10 cities to look
out for the above class Of persons
and bring them before magistrates
and police justices for trial.
