FREE THouGHT on THE STAGE
A Phase OF the French SOcls1 state Pictured
ON the stage.

Phase OF the French SOcidl state Pictured
ON the stage.
PARIS, May a.-Two plays are now run
ming In Paris dealing with the discord
and unhappiness brought into French
family life by the present day struggle
between free thought and Christianity.
Paul Hyacinthe Loyson is the author
OF the first, which is being played at the
Theatre Antoine He is the son of the IA
nous Pore Hyacinthe. whose deposition
from the Roman Catholic priesthood and
whose marriage to Mrs. Meriman, daughter
Of Afnory Butterfield, caused some stir
about forty years ago. Paul Hyacinthe
Loyson is thus half American and in adj
dition has married an Americap. Miss
Laura Jayne Bucknell. He hopes in a
few years to go to live in America be
cause he thinks life there more interesting
and the condition of affairs created by the
! existence of great millionaires offers great
opportunities to the playwright.
His play "Ames Ennemies' Souls at
! Strife) is based on a book by Henry White,
the present Ambassador in Paris. Daniel
Serrdn, a celebrated scientist and free
thinker, returns home after a two years
mission abroad. He finds his wife, daugh-

the domination OF the Church, thanks TO
the influence of Able Godule, who has
been made a resident in his house.
The play turns on the struggle between
| Serpan and his wife to win the conscience
OF the daughter. In the end the father
wins, but at the cost OF his daughters life,
for she. worn out by the constant strife
at home, dies after telling her father that

size proclaims that the only goal and COM
forter and savior of life Is love.
The second play is "The Hostage" at
the Odeon, written by Gabriel TriareuK.
The hostage ia the daughter Of a freethink-
ing project, whose ambition Is to be ap-
pointed Governor OF Algeria, and a mother,
who is a devout Catholic.
The father learns that his daughter is
in a few days to be confirmed and attend
her first communion. To permit such a
thing would ruin all prospects Of promo
ton for him. Violent discussions between
husband and wife follow and az in Loyson's
play, the daughter dies, this time sup
posedly from typhus fever, but really
from the strain on a mind too young to
bear the contradictory teachings OF her
father and mother.
The two plays undoubtedly describe the
present day situation IN many a French
family. nonelnstance this Is so VIGOROUSLY
the case that the facts have been published
in the papers here.

4 WEsT YIRGINIA EPISODE.

A girl in West Virginia fired on hsr father with a revolver when he came into the parlor, where she was enter taining a young man, and told her it was time for her to retire.
 Here is a girl who knows her rights, and knowing dares maintain them. To be sure, it looks a little harsh for her to fire at her dear father with a re- volver, even if he was "butting in," as the folks say. But there can be no question about the quality of her esti- nation of herself, her speedy temper and her decision. We do not read what the young man who saw this ex- hibition thinks about it. Perhaps he doesn't dare to say. It may be wise for him to keep his thoughts to himself and thus avoid getting shot If he thinks her action was a measure of her affection for him and her appreciation of his company he is probably wrong in so thinking. It looks much more like a measure of her appreciation of herself.

apply the air brakes should a motor man attempt to run by danger sig nal. The cars are of solid steel con- struction, with interior furnishings of mahogany. The doors are opened au- tomatically by compressed air. The signal for the motorman to start is the closing of the doors, which rings bell at the motorman's ear Bell-pull- ing is abolished, He cannot start un- til the last door is closed. There is also something new in the controller han de, which turnssoff the current by it. self if the motorman takes his hand off it. If the motarman fell dead the motor handle would shut off the cur rent by it's own action,

I have wondered what lies past the
 worlds far rim,
 Where the great red sun goes down. Since the dreaming of youth, so long have ionged, so longed, sometimes to Over the slopes and the mountain The deserts and valleys, through wood
 and wales,
 Tc tNo land where the sun. goes
 down have gazed Tn the desolate, tinted
 west,
 There where the sun goes down. And wondered at strange and foreign lands, Of unknown tongues on other strands. And longed. so longed sometimes to go That I might see, that l might know There where the sun goes down. I have looked in the far-away jewelled There se9, where the sun goes down, And longed for the deeps of starry A traekless waste and a polar star And Wished that I had been born to Those lands and know of their mys-
 There where the sun goes down. And I've turned in the dusk, from the
 afterglow,
 After the sun went down, To the lights that gleamed in the city's
 heart 10 lights in hall and throbbing mart And longed, so longed, for the arms
 and breast That cradled me sweet to sleep and
 rest
 After the sun went down. Win F. Griffin In Milwaukee Senti-

MEpA1s FOE MODEST HEFo $.

There are many modest heroes in this country, and the Navy department wants to find some of them, It is making an effort to find the former of fcers and men of the navy, both of the regular establishment and volunteers, who took part in the war with Spain. There are many such who have left the service and whose addresses are un- known. All of them are entitled to battle medals for taking part in the West Indian campaign. There are some thirty-fve or forty vessels which took part in the engagements in 1898, including those whict1 did not amount to much, up to the fight off Santiago on July 3. The Navy department has had these medals struck off at the Philadelphia mint, and is distributing them to the people now in the service whose location Is of record. The de- partment is availing itself of the facil- ities of distribution and publicity af- forded by tile Postoffice department land every postmaster will receive a bulletin which he is asked to display so that people in all parts of the coun- try who are entitled to these medals and others who know of those in that class may communicate with the bu- reau of navigation.
 As one of these medals will at least be good thing to have in the house and to hand down" 1t may be expect ed that most of those who ought to have one will eventually get one. That they haven't got one before now indi- cates how slow the rewards of merit sometimes are.

William Jennings Bryan is coming into what he used to call "the enemy's country again. He can't fairly call it so now, and he doesn't call it so. He will start his speaking in Boston March IA, and during the last two weeks in April will speak at other places in New England.
 Mir. Bryan will be well received. The people like to hear him talk, and they will like to hear how some of the re- |cent happenings strike conservative" like him. He is going to appear under the auspices of the New England Dem ocratic Progressive League, but that fact probably wont change his con- servatism.

Queen Victoria of Spain does not know the taste of alcohol. Her special ''tipple' is made from oronges-the fresh fruit squeezed into a glass, which is filled with aerated waters. Oranges are her favorite fruit
 For years Princess Henry of Batten- berg was a teetotaller, but of late she has suffered so much from rheumatism that she has been ordered little whis- key which she regards as a penance. Both Princess Christians daughters, too, are teetotallers.
 All the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales are being brought up strict teetotallers and they know noth- ing of alcohols. Princess Patricia of Connaught and her married sister also abjure wine. Another royal teetotaller is the Duchess of Argyll and the two daughters of the Princess Royal, their highnesses Alexandra and Maud have never in their lives touched wine.-Tit- Bits.

ELETATION IN PHTLADELPHIA.

Philadelphia is happy over her new elevated railroad, and it appears that she is justified in being so. It runs from the. subway at Twenty-fourth street to Sixty-ninth and has cost over $10,OO0,OOO. It has many excellent fea- lures, one of which is that it is com paratively noiseless, the structural work being solid steel and concrete,
 with ballasted ties It is impossible for anything to fall in the street. The gir- ders are higher than the car rails, so IS to make it impossible for the trains to jump from the structure even if they run off the track. The third rail is completely protected along the entire length of the road. 4 block signal system is used. An automatic stop will

PROGRESS OF 4 GREAT CAUSE.

simplifed spelling got quite shock from congress, but it is still in the ring. Very much in it, according to state ment made by the simplified spelling board. It is announced that in the last two months three hundred and fifty business men and six hundred college and university professors have joined the movement, and that the movement is now indorsed by 2,50O educators in higher institutions of learning in this country. The spelling reformers will now turn their attention to the normal schools. Already about 5000 teachers have signed the adhesion card and tho revised spelling is being taught or au- thorize1 in the State normal schools of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and in the public schools of Washington, D. C., Dayton O., Columbus O., Duluth, Minn., and Passaic, N. J. Plans for fur ther advancing the simplified spelling will be formed in April, when there will be simplified spelling conven- ton in New York.
 This certainly does look encouraging to the simplified spoilers. Meanwhile, people will continue, we suppose, to spell pretty much as they please.

Commenting upon the new law of public meetings in France, the Paris correspondent of the London Times writes: After more than twenty-five years of agitation in press and Parlia- ment Frenchmen have finally supple mented the liberty of speech liberty which, in the absence of a good libel law, is even excessive-by liberty of public n. .eetings. Since 1881 the French Administration has vigorously chung to its right to grant or withhold authoriz- ation for the gatherings of French citi- zens. No dozen people could be con vened in public without the risk of be- ing sent about their business. unless previously they had made formal noti- fication to the police. A primordial right was thus hampered by a regula- tion which was by no means a mere matter of administrative red tape. It was sufVlVal oI luperldllsl nlelnOuS, and part and parcel of the system of centralization which is traditional in the French State. The new bill changes all that It is a triumph for individual liberty at the expense of the principle of State intervention. It marks an al- t,aost reVoIutiOnarv advance in S3cial reform in France. Even if the Clemen- ceau ministry had done nothing else

He has won his success by hard work and well-used ability, and it is a success which is worth having, be- cause 1t has not been won by trickery or appealing to the bad part of the hu- man outfit.
