A Splendid Attraction.

Al. Wilson inhis latest play, Metz
in the Alps" at the Grand opera
house on Wednesday night proved to
be more popular than ever. The
production was witnessed by a good
sized audience, and was high class in
every respect AS singer Mr.. Will
son has few equals. and he has asso-
ciated with himself very capable
company. The scenic and electric
effects were superb, and the entire pro-
duction so meritorious that the audi
ence was delighted with it. The re-
peated curtain calls at the end of each
act and numerous encores showed the
complete satisfaction with which the
play was received. 5 ai

honor to be recorded after death as

Proof Of Merit.

The proof of the merits of plaster
is the cures it effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and genu.
inc porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making -plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you
would counterfeit money. 15.1

INDIA's POLITICAL UNREST

| The worlds political center of
gravity is changing. If one were
asked to name the four or five most
significant events that have happened
lduring the last twelve months, he
lshould include among them these
three: The adoption of constitu-
tional form or government by Persia,
the insistence by the last session of
the Indian National Congress upon
the rights of the Indian people as
British subjects TO govern them
selves, and the decree issued by the
Emperor of China calling upon the
Chinese to prepare so that within ten
years that empire would be ready to
adopt constitutional form of gov
ernment.
India is well within the circle of
this world movement. There are
many things to indicate that the peo-
pie of India are slowly finding them
selves. are coming to their own.
Everywhere there is ferment and Il
lmurmHr of discomfort. The cry
"Bande matarm!" (Hail to the mother
countryD is heard throughout the
land and "swaraj" (home rule) and
"swadeshi' (home country have be-
come words of magic to conjure with.
What does it all mean? Briefly and
fundamentally it means this: A new
nation is about to be born.
| There are three dominant notes in
the murmur of discomfort, one polit.
ical, another industrial, and the third
religious and social. During Christ
mas week of 1906 Dadabhai Naorii.
a Parsee gentleman of Bombay, for
some years past resident in England
and formerly member of the British
Parliament in the course of his presi-
dental address at the opening of
the twenty-sccond session of the In
dian National Congress insisted up-
on the right of the Indian people as
British subjects to govern themselves
and asked that this right be real
lied. There were nearly 10000 dele
gates and visitors present and the
address was received with tumuIt of
applause. The members of the Con-
gress belong for the most part to the
l"Moderate" party. They maintain
IAN attitude of conference toward the
British Government and believe that
IN the end they will gain what they
ask by persistent agitation. They do
not on any account wish the guiding
hand of the British Raj to be with
drawn, for they know full, well that
the people of India are not vet ready
to take the government into their
iown hands. There is on the other
hand an Extreme party, led by
Isuch men as Bal Ghanghadar Tilall
lof Poona, Bipin Chandar Pal, of Cal
Icutta, and Lala Lajpat Raj, OF Lahore
who openly assert that 1t is useless to
continue to ask the government for
what they want. that to do so Is ia
play the part of beggars, and that the
thing to do is to take by force what
! they cannot get otherwise. From
