was no question about the genuineness
of the case. The patient, a lady, is con-

with dropsy, and the albumen was in
such enormous quantities as to solidify
in the tube.
Death was expected daily by the ply

a California treatment that was alleged
to be curing Rright's disease in that
state. The results created great aston

success, a popular modern problem for
theme and the portrayal of two roles,
the Phelan of Felix Hanley and the

Torrance was no better or more in
teresting than many a one-two-three
melodrama given by a repertoire COM
pany with the leading lady in red vel
vet and near diamonds and the villain
alternately lighting a cigarette and
slapping his puttees with the handle of
his riding crop. There are as good
actors in any elocution class in town
as the leading woman, and the leading
man was unnatural, stilted hackneyed
and conventional from start to finish
as any ambitious amateur. There were
few times during the whole play that
one could forget the people on the stage
were reciting words learned by rote and
rule. There are many good lines in the
play and the theme is one of much
strong popular interest. For this rea-
son the play has achieved a great sue
cess and if played by first class COM
pany it would doubtless be a real
thriller. But many of its situations are
of the hopelessly conventional melodra-
matte order and the actors with the
exceptions mentioned, are the kind who
clap their hands to their brows, sway

like a collapsing jumping-jack to a
chair and drop their heads on the in

The Old Testament idea was much

Jehovah uses these things for his own

says G. K. Chesterton in Putnam's.
He uses the strength of hero as he
uses that of a mammoth-without any
particular respect for the mammoth.

many supplemented skeptics have
read such stories as the fraud of Jacob
and supposed that the man who wrote
it (whoever he was) did not know

honor does not change so much as
that. But these supplemented skep-
tics are, like the majority of modern

Lightning Killed Man and Did Some
Very Remarkable Things.

A bolt of lightning from an almost
cloudless sky struck and instantly
killed Joseph Bourassa, one of the
old residents of Ecorse township at
noon Saturday as he was hoeing his
garden. One of his shoes was blown
to shreds, the other was found twenty
feet away, wholly intact, his clothes
were stripped from his body and his
whiskers were shaved clean from his
face, but not hair of his head was
even singed.
The clothes not blown away caught
fire and were consuming the body of
the old man when son, working
nearby, extinguished them. The young
man says it was not raining, the sun
even shining at intervals. When the
bolt came he did not realize what had
happened until he saw the almost
nude body of his father. His body
and hands were frightfully burned,
but the face, although Clearly shorn
of whiskers, was not scorched. The
handle of the hoe he was welding
was burned to a char.
Mr. Bourassa had large family
and had lived in Ecorse township his
entire life. He leaves a widow and

Stories are afloat that the greed of

the subserviency of administration
officials in yielding to their importu-
mites have brought construction work
on the Panama canal to condition
of approximate chaos, it is claimed
situation has arisen which threat
ems to retard operations and delay
the completion of the great waterway
for years, if not indefinitely. 1t is
said Col. Goethals, Maj. Siebert, Com
missioner Smith and General Manager
Bierd, of the Panama railroad, are try
ing to get out. Ignorant senators and
representatives, with craze for ask
ing foolish questions, helped to make
John +. Stevens sick Of his job as
engineer in chief of the Panama ca
nal commission. This, at least, is the
claim that is made by his friends,
who declare that the constant grill
ing which Stevens received at the
hands Of senate and house commit
tees had a great deal to do with his
resignation.

A horrible holocaust is reported in

500 Chinese of the audience of a Chi

were burned to death when the native
theater was destroyed by fire.
The flames spread rapidly and the
building collapsed, blocking the en-
trance with burning debris.
The origin of the fire is said to have
been due to the igniting of explosives
concealed under the floor of the the
alter, the fire following the explosion.

Vardaman,s Conversion.

While Gov. Vardaman was deeply
moved at the Gates revival services
at the Coliseum building in Jackson,
Miss, Monday night, he does not pro-
fess conversion to Christianity. When
the evangelist called for penitents
Vardaman went with 40 others TO the
"mourners bench" and knelt for
prayer. Several members of the local
clergy prayed with him earnestly and
asked him to make profession of faith,
but he said that he did not feel like
doing so. The governor declines to
be interviewed concerning the matter.
He has been regularly attending the
revival since Sunday and manifests a
deep interest in the work.

ReaIthfuIness of Fruit.

IF people ate more fruit they would
need less medicine and have better
health. There is an old saying that
fruit is golden in the morning and
leaden at night AS a matter of fact,
it may be gold at both times, but then
it should be eaten on an empty stom-
ach and not as a dessert, when the
appetite is satisfied and digestion is
already sufficiently taxed Fruit taken
IL the morning before the fast of the
night has been broken is very refresh
ing, and it serves as stimulus to the
digestive organs, says New York
Weekly. A ripe apple or an orange
may be taken at this time with good
effect. Fruit, to be really valuable as
an article of diet, should be ripe, sound
and in every way of good quality, and,
if possible, it should be eaten raw.
Instead Of eating plate of ham or
eggs and bacon for breakfast, most
people would do far better if they took
some grapes, pears or apples-fresh
fruit as long as it is to be had, and
after that they can fail back on
stewed prunes, figs, etc. If only fruit
of some sort formed an important
item in their breakfast, women would
generally feel brighter and stronger,
and would have far better compilations

Divorce in America.

Society protects itself from epidem-
ics of smallpox and cholera; it should
adopt some safeguard against mar
riages that shall burden it with gen.
Grafton after generation of physical
weaklings, moral degenerates and
criminals. Experts tell us that one
half Of the Insane low confined In
asylums have hereditary tendencies to
insanity. We cannot tolerate the
Spartan law Of exposing weakly chill
dren, but, says Judge E. r. Stevens in
the Outlook, we ought to protect our
selves by preventing improper mar
riages and by putting an end to such
improper marriages as become
menace to society. The success OF the
Jews as a race is largely due to their
regulation of marriage. Some of the
higher class in Brazil, by self-imposed
rule, require the proposed spouse to
present the certificate Of a physician
that he is not afflicted with certain
diseases. Recently women's congress
at Paris voted to require such certifi'
Gates as a protection to their daugh-
tiers. In America we need more OF
the English idea that marriage is
life settlement, in which parents and
guardians should play larger part.
If this idea prevailed, we should have
fewer homes in which such see nes are
enacted as those that have been re-
hearsed under oath upon the witness
stand.

plants have been received.
The grievances of several street
railway companies in the matter of

encouragement for an opinion as to
whether the board may make review
of the complaint of corporation. The
law says that reviews may be had only
on complaint Of resident taxpayer"
and the question for settlement by
the states attorney is whether an
electric railway corporation comes I'M
