GREATEST EUROPEAN
EVENT SINCE GOETHE

1t seems to be a great consolation to
many good people that Friedrich
Nietzsche, the revolutionary Polish
German philosopher and poet, went
mad. No other explanation Of his be-
wildering aphorisms is l-ecessary they
think, after that But the critical mind
Of Europe finds II not so easy thus to
dispose of his vigorous and original
genius-the prophet of the "Superman."
NietZsche is now the "war-cry of op-
posing factions in Germany and
France while in England heels the chief
subject of controversy in the new art
and philosophy group OF the London

which attracts such famous debaters as

Age, has just published valuable study

STAGE HEROES DOUBT
GIRLS THEY WOULD WE'D

Long before The Chorus Lady and
THE Three of Us" were produced, many
dramatists had taught us that heroes
have a habit Of discovering heroines at
midnight In another mans rooms. Why
is it, L wonder. that in this familiar sit
uation the hero always assumes the
worst at once and casts the heroine
away 1t is a convention in the theater
that the hero should be the sort of man
that the audience wishes the heroine
TO marry. Why, then. If he be conceived
as worthy TO marry her and make her
happy does he show so little faith IN
her at such a moment? The girl always
has a good and simple reason for being
in the villains rooms. Why, / wonder,
does the hero never even suspect that
she may have an honest reason? And
why, after he has discarded her like a
cad. does the audience always approve
Of the reconciliation in the subsequent
act, when the hero admits that ii was
all a mistake and the heroine promises
70 marry him after all?
The theatric view of life that is taken
in these scenes seems TO me not only
base. but false. L believe that a right
minded hero really worth while. loving
a rfght-minded heroine really worth
while, would believe in her at such
moment. and that even if the villain
should (for reasons Of his OWN assert
that the heroine was guilty. the hero
would reply, not by believing the viii
lain, but by punching his face. I should
Ike to see the dear old situation handled
in this way. truthfully for once I offer
the suggestion freely to any American
dramatist: for / feel that II a hero were
exhibited manly enough to believe in
the girl that he loves. the audience
would be surprised and pleased. and ed
ucated in the things that ought to be-

BOSTON, June 1.-The remark made by
President Roosevelt to a delegation Of Har-
ward graduates at Lansing. Mich, the
other day, that in a year and eleven months
he expected to be an active member Of the
Harvard organization, has aroused the
hveliest interest in college circles at Cam

President Eliot lie quoted in a despatch
from Detroit as saying that he could see

President Roosevelt aspired to head the
faculty at Harvard when he left the White
House, but there is not the slightest ground
for any report that DR.. Eliot is to resign

AS a friend Of President Roosevelt, 1
have reason to believe, in common with
others, that his earnest hope is, after his
term at the White House to become Senator
from New York State.
Il should not vote for his selection to
head the Harvard faculty because. in the

NOTHING BUT RAIN AT CAMP.

P%ERKsKILL. N. Y, June 2.-Many words

was a green morass, the main highways
were mud the company and officers streets
were mud, everything under foot was mud.
The first guard mount Of the week. for
which the regiment had made 30 many
plans, was held in the big mess hall. The
Sunday meeting scheduled for the mess
hall at IL o'clock was omitted altogether.
Col. Foote decided that he would not take
his men out even to attend divine services.
Chaplain Sattig laid away the prettily
printed order Of services and saved his
sermon for another time.

Circuit Court at Newark to-day between
Frank W. Meeker, a Livingston farmer,
complainant, and the city Of East Orange.
defendant. Meeker asks $4,000 damages
for the loss OF his water supply, due to the
sinking Of twenty artesian wells by the
CITY near his farms in Livingston.
Many prominent engineers OF Essex
county will be called TO testify. including
City Engineer Morris Sherrerd Of Newark,
Cornelius Vermuele. George G. Whipple and
eI-County Engineer James Owen. Meeker
has retained Ralph z. Lum az counsel,
while Jerome Gedney will appear for the
city OF East Orange.
In his complaint Meeker says that springs
upon which he depended for water for his
cattle and for refrigerating purposes in
connection with a dairy were rendered
useless after the wells OF the East Orange
supply we're sunk three-quarters OF a mile
away and that fields that produced twenty
acres OF hay now produce only six. He
maintains that the artesian wells tapped

his springs were supplied, thus diminishing
