Evart has been leading support to
Mr.. Whiteside, and in that capacity,
proved himself an actor of talent
and ability.
In this comedy Mr.. Evart plays a
dual role and ne has to make the
change from one character to
another in five seconds. AS this
change is complete from head to
foot, he requires the aid of six men
working simultaneously to assist
him, together with several duplicate
costumes. in order to complete the
illusion. This is far more difficult
change than that made in the "Pris-
oner of Zenda" or the changes in
"The Corsican Brothers.

our DAY OF REST.

In communication to The Times
Dispatch of Sunday, Mr.. II. j. Farman,
a Seventh Day Adventist says that
citizens of Virginia arc required by
law to close their places of business
on Sunday, because Sunday is consid
cred TO be a holy day.
That is a popular error. The Sunday
law Is not an enactment Of the fourth
commandment. Tho legal observance
of Sunday is not n religious observ-
nnco. Our Bill OF Rights declares that
religion, or the duty which we owe
to our Creator, and the manner Of dis
charging it, can be directed only by
reason and conviction, not by force or
violence; and, therefore, all men are
equally entitled to the free exercise
of religion, according to the dictates
of conscience"
The statute making Sunday day of
rest does not once mention religion.
1t does not intimate that Sunday is a
holy day" 1t docs not cnjoin or
admonish men and women to "remem-
Der the sabbath day to keep it holy

THE rwo-cnNr RATE.

According to Raleigh correspond
ent of Tho Times-Dispatch, the Sea
board Air Line has not found comfort
in its experiment with the tWo-and-
a quarter cent passenger rate, which
is fixed by the North Carolina stat
ute. The Seaboard declined to join
the other railroads in contrasting the
law, but cut its passenger rates &C
cordinr to law as soon as the stat
ute became effective.
The new rate has now been In OPP
Grafton about thirty days, and our
correspondent says that for all of the
local passen ger business Of the Sea-
board Air Line in North Carolina in
the month Of July, there is shown ap-
proximately an increase in the sale OF
tickets of two per cent. with an ap-
proximate decrease in total receipts
for that period OF TWENTY-FIVE per
cent.
The receipts of the Norfolk and
southern road show about the same
Il
revenue of the Asheboro and Abcr-
deem road, a short local line has
been such as probably to force the
company TO abandon It's regular pas
senger trains and do its passenger
business with passenger coaches at
tached to freight trains.
"one swallow. does not make a
summer" and it does not necessarily
follow that all railroads in North
Carolina and Virginia will show a
similar decrease OF revenue under
the reduced rates. If they do, the
rate will Doubt, be declared by
lie courts to be unreasonable" In
tie meantime. The roads Will have
lost Il considerable revenue which
some OF them are scarcely able to
stand, and there will be no redress
But all tn, railroads are now in
for it. and they must get along as
best they can until the issue is finally
determined in court In any event
the two-cent rate will be put to the
test, and that is what the public has
been bent on doing for some time past

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

The Hampton Monitor urges that the
Exposition be continued for
another year at will be September at
least" says our contemporary, before
the fair can be perfected to that de-
gree of completion in which it could
be regarded as finished. When all is
done, when the great government pier
is finished and the grounds have been
finally adorned and beautned, 1t will
unquestionably be one of the greatest
expositions the world has ever seen
and it seems a pity that the COM
pleted project should have only three
months to rum.
1t does seem shameful waste to
tear down and destroy the exposition
only a few months after it has been
would cost round sum Of money to
keep 1t through the winter, with cx-
penses going on and little or no rev.
enue coming IN. Again, can the ex-
hibitors be induced to let their eS-
hibits remain until the next season?
These are all very serious considera-
tons, but if it is practicable to hold
the show intact and reopen 1T neXl
spring 1t should be done. The James.
