Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, has
issued an order suppressing the fur
Their production of the 'Clansman"
in that city. He arrived at that con-
clusion because of an ugly demonstra-
ton of the colored people on the first
night it was presented and for the
reason, he stated, that it was calcu-
lated to produce disorder, and en-
danger lives"
The reason given by him for yield
ing to the demands of the mob is an
absurd one. If a mob can force a
mayor, especially in city the size of
Philadelphia, to accept their views
and be controlled by them, as to
whether or not play is proper to be
presented in the theatres, then the
laws made for the government of a
city can be trampled under foot by
them at any time with impunity. 1t
is folly to say, as the mayor of Phila-
delphia does, that life and property is
safer when mob rules than when it
is under the control of the proper
authorities. His action in the matter,
perhaps, admits of only one interpreta-
ton that he was in sympathy with the
movement for the suppression of the
play. With the large force of police
men at his command no one can be-
heve that the play could not have
been peacefully presented, and that it
was not his duty to see that it was
done.
1t may be that it would have been
better if the "Clansman" had not
been produced in the Quaker City,
but if "Uncle Toms Cabin" false in
most particulars and written to fer
ment strife between the North and
the South, is not interdicted in the
North, why should the "Clansman"
be, which presents the Southern side
of the reconstruction era?

Drives Tandem Well.

Miss Mabel Hogg is one of the

being a very clever whip as well as
equestrienne. She has a beautiful
cart and horse which were given her
by her father last Christmas. and
since then she has ridden rather less

Daughters show, few years ago,
Miss Hogg rode and drove three
horses tandem, which was one of the
features of the affair. 1t requires
decidedly more than average skill to
control ones mount and manipulate

woman proved herself more than
equal to the task, and no matter how

ened them out with a firm hand.

B The OUTJDER,

THERE is nothing that marks
more clearly the changed condi-
y tions of life in California since
the early days than the general
attitude in regard to riding horse.
A few decades since it was the natural
thing to do, something like riding on
street car today Horses were
plentiful and cheap, and it was the
easiest way to get from one place 10
another. So many of the earlier
dwellers here were Spanish or South
ern, and with neither of these was
walking considered a pleasure or, in
fact, possibility, for any great dis
tance, but both could ride with a
grace and skill that has made them
world famous. There were but few
comfortable carriages or trains, no
trolleys or automobiles, and to ride
was rather necessity than an ac-
oomplishment as it has come to be
considered now.
1t was one Of the principal pleasures
of that period, too, when there were
fewer diversions than at the present
time. There was pride of horseman-
ship as well, and a man was quite
as well pleased at his ability to sub
due plunging, rearing horse and
bring the vicious or terrified animal to
a state Of subsection as the men of the
present day are at achieving a clever
business turn.
Women rode, too, not in short
divided skirt fashion, but with long
sweeping habits and large hats with
long plumes, which gave an air o.
fascinating grace, but which seem tc
the modern young woman to have
been remarkably uncomfortable anc
dangerous. 1t is all IN the custom
however, as there are very few
records of accidents in those days
and the discomfort can probably b,
matched with ease in one thing o.
another of feminine apparel in tn,

mile run across country. Besides
riding we'll they ride beautifully, Miss
Anita Harvey especially being greatly
admired. Miss Ethel Dean, who is
noted for her grace, never looks bet
ter than on horseback, and as she is a
great favorite at Burlingame and is
extensively entertained there she may
be considered one of the members OF

Will Wed Army Man.

She has been especially popular al
ways with army people, and the news
that she has decided to become
member of army society herself came
hardly as a surprise Just when her
wedding will take place Miss Mont
gomery has not decided, or whether
it will be quiet home affair or cele-
brated in church.
Mr.. Sturgis is TO be examined for
promotion to captain in the very
near future, and where he will be
stationed afterward is, of course, un-
certain. So Miss Montgomery is still
at loss as to whether her trousseau
must be suitable for winter in the
Philippines or in North Dakota, on
the Atlantic coast or here in our owl
Presidio. AS she laughingly says, Il
am beginning to feel the uncertainty
of army life before / am really in it,"

innate friend of Miss Montgomery
