ACTRESS.
a no rights in 1.-The Kreutzer Sonata"
to dispose of two years 6 to Messrs.
Wagenhals e. Kemper or at n other
time or to any one else. When Messrs.
Wagenhals & Kemper produced The
Ereutzer Sonata" in Chicago the owners
prepared to take legal steps to restrain
further unauthorized performances Of the
play.
The author, Gordin, sides with Wag-
enhals & Kemper and says:
Mr.. Fiske recently announced
through the press thatino one in the
world has any rights to The Kreutzer
Sonata except himself. Even the au-
thor of the play must not presume to
set forth his claims. Such absolute
rights were said to be conferred upon
the rulers of the past by divine grace
Of heaven. Mr.. Fiske acquired his
rights by the grace of his trusted S
sociate in the management Of Miss
Kalich-one Mr.. %Spachner.
"Mr. Fiske appropriates my literary
property, my own work, and openly
consigns it to The Jungle He pro-
poses to make out of the tissue of my
brains and nerves 'sausages' for him
self and his co-mate, Mr.. Spachner.
He is mistaken, however, If he thinks
he can do so with impunity.
my able lawyers will safeguard my
rights in the court of law. On my
part l intrust my case to a higher court
to the court Of honest public opinion
and social equity.
This piracy, which has passed from
the commercial world into the literary
must be stopped"

The bank commissioner, to the sur
prise of many present who had been
led by the equivocal state of affairs to
believe that actual proofs of fraud
had been found to exist, stated that
with the exception of the two altered
notes, everything had been found to
lie correct.

"They did, invariably. Mr., Hamil-

When Tony Osborn was called the
manner Of the young man was far
less nonchalant than usual. An ex-
cited glitter shone in his eyes, and
he answered with clenched hand at
his side and nervous glances from
time to time at Mr. Hamilton. His
replies were unsatisfactory to a de-
gree. He seemed fretted and suspi-
cious, and in some way his attitude
affected people in the court room till
they became fretted and suspicious,
too, as If some occult influence was
at work. When his examination was
over he frightened with what seemed
relief, and he quickly took his seat
and resumed his watch of the proceed

at variance with his halfEearted man

II must decline to answer that ques-
ton, not because l should not care to
have it known, but because it is, or

persons, who would object"
One of the specialists, Sidney W.
Lamb of Boston, was allowed to ques-
ton Mr.. Hamilton and to examine him
professionally with a view to discov-
ering whether he was, or had been,
mentally deranged, as in that case,
he could not be held accountable for
any act performed at such a time.
This was an important part of the
proceedings, and the result of the ex-

point.

We'll, l do not think he gave the

But you cannot be certain"
Il cannot recollect, but my impress
sion is that the name of the cashier
was not mentioned"
In the court room was the cashier
of the Cheshire bank, when the four
hundred dollar note, altered to four
thousand was presented, and he was
examined at this point. He stated con-
cisely that a man who closely resem.
bled Mr.. Hamilton, as he appeared
now, gave him the altered note and
said that he was the cashier of the
Grovedale bank.
Il knew the name of the cashier was
Hamilton, and l called him SO, prob
ably, during the interview"

"And I, also" said Simon Low "He

A point like this was most puzzling
and of considerable consequence
Taken in connection with the fact
that he had stated he was the cashier
of Grovedale bank, the whole was
tantamount to an acknowledgment of
his name as Hamilton. Now the cues
tion arose, could he give the name or
acknowledge it unwittingly, in con-
nection with fraudulent deed CON
trary to his usual or moral character
or was he personated by professional
bank robber disguised to resemble

unnunished Offenders.

There are things which to sensitive
souls constitute disturbance of the
peace, and yet for which there is no ade-
Quate punishment prescribed by law,
very truly observes writer in the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. A man in a
short coat and silk hat is an offense of
this kind, and fat woman in ''rainy-
day" skirt and peek-aboo waist is an
other. There are legions of them. They
offend the artistic sense, and mar the
face of nature. Now and then some
aesthetic person, made desperate by
these abuses, takes the law into his own
hands and inflicts punishment, usually
at severe cost to himself. For instance,
II the man who stabbed Thomas Reed
for playing guitar in an undertaking
establishment is caught. he may be sent
to the penitentiary. Such is the injus-
tice OF our laws. What Is needed Is
corps Of armed censors of things in gen.
eral. something between police and
humane society force, and vested with
authority to arrest offenders against
good taste. A special court for the trial
of such offenders could be provided, and
the keepers Of mechanical musical in
struments, the street-car whistlers,
platform chumps and persons who talk
at the play ct al. could have justice
meted out to them. AS long as such Of
tenders are left unpunished by law, SO
long will there be unexplained" mur-
ders and assaults, for they get on the
nerves" of people who have artistic
sensibilities, and these people become
aroused to desperate deeds, braving
even martyrdom for the holy cause Of
good taste. The world would welcome
such department of justice as we have
suggested, II some one would take the
initiative to secure the proper legisla-
ton. Here is the opportunity for some
ambitious reformer to endear himself to
the masses and make Folk, Hadley and
Jerome to pale their ineffectual fires
In the bright light of his genius.

IN THE LITTLE WHITE BOX.
Fear Of Little Understood Terror Too
Much for Bow

MUCH Ior BOY.
One day when the tailor's wife and
her little boy went out for walk they
saw that an undertaken had moved
into the shop next door. The boy
stopped and looked at the coffin in the
window.
What is that, mother?" he asked.
He was very little boy and had
never seen coffin. His mother tried
to tell him. His eyes grew big with
wonder and fear.
will they put me in the white box,
mother?" he asked. 80.
mot If you are good" said his
mother. "Only bad boys go into the
little white box"
After that the tailor's boy tried to
be very good. He did not caper noisily
about; he obeyed every command, and
at night he asked: Mother, have
been good to-day?"
One day the tailor's boy was excep.
tionally quiet. He lay in bed almost
all day. At night great fear beset
him.
"Oh, mother" he cried, I'm afraid.
I've been good, so good. Don't let
them put me in the little white box"
His mother tried to comfort him, but
the white box was very palpable ter
ror, and he could not get away from it.
Three days later crowd of people
came to the tailor's house. They
were dressed in black and came in
carriages. The tailor's little boy was
there. but he did not see them. He

this morning to distinguish men from

for many women could be seen
dressed in ordinary soft shirts and
overalls. In this garb they were walk
ing about their tents, unconcernedly

able to make themselves comfortable
in any sort Of clothing were indeed fit.

WORK IN SAN FRANCISCO
Seventh Day Shows Changes for the
Better.

San Francisco.-Witho one hand out
stretched for the aid of the homeless
and destitude and the other clearing
away ruins and preparing for the build
ing of a greater San Francisco, the
men who control the ruined metropolis
of the Pacific coast are making history
rapidly.
This was the seventh day since the
earthquake Jared the city SO severely
and started the fires that laid 1t in
ashes, and, as with the preceding days,
Tuesday took up the accumulated i'm
petus Of Monday and added SO much
volume of force of it's own that
Wednesday will dawn on situation
that is long way toward the normal.
Such marts of trade as remain un-
burned were opening for the transac-
ton of ordinary business, temporary
structures were being run up for the
accommodation of others, clearing OF
the devastated area Of its ruins was
we'll under way, the inquiry into the
condition of the bank vaults was COM
pleted, the organization and prepara-
ton for service of the street railways
were SO far advanced that the COM
pany expressed it's readiness to resume
business as soon as the mayor would
permit, the water company announced
the completion of such repairs as en-,
abled it to supply IA total of 12,OOO,O 900
gallons daily.
In fine, there was all the evidence to
put at rest now and forever the fears
Of those who predicted that San Fran
cisco would never rise again.
The city Is not in sight of the re-
sumption of banking business. There
was an inspection to-day of the bank
vaults in the burned district and in no
instance were they found TO have been
destroyed, but it is realized that an
early opening would endanger their
perishable contents, and in order that
this may be avoided, some weeks must
elapse until they are thoroughly cooled
off before they are entered.
Meantime business will be done at
temporary quarters with money fur
nished through the medium of the
mint and the United States sub-treas-
ury officials.
The work of housing and feeding the
homeless and of reconstituting the san
itary conditions, already so far ad'
vanced Monday, was carried on with
tremendous energy. 1t is certain that
no Cne is hungry in San Francisco to-
night, unless he is wilfully so.
There is food for all, and the method
of distribution has been so perfect that
it is within the reach of all.
AS for the health and sanitary con
ditions, these are, considering all cir
cumstances, excellent. An investiga,
tion of the sewers has shown that they
were not as badly damaged as was
feared and where there were breaks
these have been repaired.
There has been no outbreak OF dis
ease of contagious character, nor is
any feared, and as for those pulmonary
diseases that might be expected to be
prevalent in such crisis, they are
chiefly notable by their absence. The
hospitals, which in few instances
were crowded by great numbers, are
discharging them by the score. These
facts speak in stentorian terms for the
energy and skill of the surgeons and
nurses who had the institutions in
their charge.
