-.es------------- ADJUSTMENTS.
"Tess of the D'UrbervilIes."

It was n sordd, somber story that Mrs. Fiske and her excellent company unfold ed at the Majestic theatre last night. Tess is a heart-rending figure. a woman cruci- fled, and the background against which her character is portrayed is that singular Wessex landscape which Thomas Hardy has pictured so truly and so surely in his novels. There is little brightness in Tess of the D'Urbevilles bit of rough comedy here and there. a stray beam of sunshine in the one love affair of Tess and the curtain comes down on a trag- edy that is appalling. The play smaclts mire of Wessex The human heart has little to recommend it in such an environ ment. The characters are for the most part low or contemptible. Only two stand forth with any fidelity to the ideals which we are taught to reverence. The others may be dismissed for their brutishness or loathed for their villainy.
 Tess is the offspring of a decadent fam fly. At a tender age she becomes a ser want in the house of D'Urbeville. where she falls into the clutches of Alec Stoke b 'ITrbeville a cold -blooded, calculating scoundrel, with the diplomacy of an ac- complished man and the suavity of d spoiled wording who is accustomed to having his basest desires gratified. Tht girl is eventually cast off and returns to her family. sunk in poverty and disgrace. While a dairymaid Tess gives her heart to Angel Clare. Through deception she is lead to believe that he has read the confession she wrote to him in a letter and forgives her past error. They are married. and when on the point of leaving for Brazil. in a powerful and dramatic climax, Angel learns Tess secret. He leaves her. She goes back to the mire again Then Alec Stoke-D' Urbeville re- appears, logging her from place to place

PACIFIC ISLANDS
 ARE CONSIDERED
HAWAII AND THE PHILIPPINES ARE SUBJECTS OF DISCUSSION BY SPEAKERS AT LAKE MO MONK CONFERENCE.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y, October 24.-Ths Philippine islands and Hawaii were the themes considered at the Mohonk con- ference today The speakers were Paul Charlton, law officer of the bureau of Indian affairs: Thomas Lawler of Boston, William Alexander Sutherland in charge of the Philippine students in this country: Arthur J. Brown and pr. c. c. Cregan, who represented the Presbyterian and American foreign mission board, respec- lively.
 Congressmen Jones of Warsaw, Va., and Driscoll of Syracuse, N. Y, spoke against the retention of the Philippines. They did not favor the sale of the islands, but advocated eventually leaving them to the control of the Fiipinos them- selves. Col. F. F. Halford made a splendid reply, expressing his belief that the Philippines were under the present control of this country by divine ap- pointment, and that Americans should rejoice at the opportunity of doing good
 Hawaii the subject of the evening session. Two of the speakers, Dr. N. B. Emerson and Dr. Titus M. Coan, are sons of missionaries, born in Honolulu. Both responded to the call to arms in 1861, returning to the home land and serving in the Union army. Dr. Coan read a paper prepared by Judge Hatch of Honolulu.
 Dr. Emeson, in his address, spoke on the race problem in Hawaii.
 A. Lewis of Honolulu discussed the proposed American ship subsidy.

BLOWS OUT HIS BRAINS.
Litigant Shoots His Lawyer and Then
 Kills Himself.

Laramie, Wyo., October Civilian Lepper, for 30 years a resident of this city, yesterday shot Judge Charles w. Brammell three times in the law office of the latter, then turning the revolver upon himself blew out his own brains. Judge Brammel has a chance for recov- cry. but his advanced age is against him.
 Lepper. who was also an old man, has been in constant litigation for the past eight years over property in this city which he lost title to by giving it as security on a deal in stocks. He had attempted to regain the title through the law which refuses legal standing to gambling debt
 Judge Brammel, when on the bench sev- eral years ago. gave a decision favorable to Lepper, which was reversed in a higher court Judge Brammell later acted as an attorney for Lepper. and it appears that Lepper believed that he had not properly looked after his interests.

Chinese Attack Sailors.

San Antonio, Tex. October 24.-A special from Santa Cruz, Mex, says: Because 200 of their countrymen were detained on board by the sanitary inspectors of this port, 400 Chinese, who had just been landed, made a murderous assault last night on the English ship, Woolwich, and her crew. Many men were seriously in jured in the affray and five may die from their wounds The Chinese would have swept all before them but for the timely aid brought by a large force of federal troops and gendarmes

until she finally sells herself 10 him to save her family from starvation, after having been told that Angel is dead.
 The drama proceeds swiftly. Alec is more despicable than his previous con-. duct seemed to warrant. He abuses Tess, he treats her as his dog and slave. She endures for the sake of the money which goes to hold up her miserable family. When she has reached point of utter de- spair Angel returns and offers to take Tess in his arms. Again she is held back by the horrible knowledge of her guilt, again she confesses and again Angel goes away in agony. The end is at hand. Tess stabs Alec as he moeks her in maudling jest and when, drawn back by the overwhelming power of his love, Angel returns, he finds Tess staring into space and aimlessly brushing her hair Angel she says, T have killed him."
 The two flee, hotly pursued. At Stone hinge, in the solemn waste of the Druid temple, while darkness envelopes them and capture draws swiftly nearer, they spend their last and only honeymoon. Just as the sun is rising to flood the hills and haiiSyo WllH ms llBnt, Anger CiATe ana Tess of the D'Urbeviles surrenders to their pursuers and the story is ended.
 Mrs Fiske exemplifies her art in an admirable manner In situations which less capable player would have exag- gerated, she exerted repression and by si- lent suggestion swayed the audience with the emotion which was wrackins the soul of Tess. Such finished artist needs no analysis at this late day. Mrs. Fiske was utterly human and she made Tess a ere ation that cannot soon be forgotten. Her support was uniformly good. Guy Bates Post, formerly star of "rhe Heir to the Hoorah,' played the part of Angel Clare with rare sympathy and skill. George Arliss, an English actor of great ability, who Is little known in the south, made Alec Stoke-D' Urbevi1le vivid and clean cut, dominant figure in the play. He was at all times convincing through the deft touches which he knows so well how 10 put on. Florence Montgomery gave 10 Marion q pathetic interpretation that was exceedingly well done, while Mary E. Barker was quite realistic and sufficiently gross as Joan Durbeyfield, mother of Tess.
 The production was in every way ade- quate.

. 1t is thought at Baton Rouge
that the sheriffs over the State
will act favorably upon the sug-
gestion of Governor Blanchard
that the free time for the payment
of the taxes be extended until the
LIST of February. The only OBJ
lection to this extension is that
some of those who are able to pay
their taxeswill take advantage Of
the extension of the limit. This
extension may not be given to
those who;are amply able to pay,
but who simply take advantage Of
the time and delay payment until
the penalty is attached.
