NO RACE QUESTION.

From st. Louis Post-DitpatchI. -.
The new state of Oklahoma had
Its first race riot on Tuesday at Mus,
kogee in what was formerly the In
dian territory. The net result was a
policeman killed. two whites wound
ed and three Negroes killed. The &C
'tual fighting began in resistance ia
officers or the law. Though great
alarm was felt afterwards, it ended
as usual with the discovery that law
abiding colored people are In the ma
jority and are no more likely to take
part in rioting than law-abiding
white people. The immediate cause
of the trouble was not specially I'M
portant, but perhaps the remote
cause was the foolish and now aban-
doned attempt to create the impress.

BuRT'S.

"At Cripple Greek" is the type of
play that is perhaps the very best seen
on the road. 1t is melodrama, pure
and sweet; and at the same time
amusing and interesting. 1t teaches
a wholesome lesson; it leaves no bad
Impressions, but rather an abiding
pleasure that benefits and inspires and
rests those who see and hear it. 1t
stands in contrast to the average
melodrama like the GOODNESS and in.
spring freshness of May morning
compared with the sultry and tempest
uous heats.
Few better things are promised at
the Burt theatre than this beautiful
Western play which will be the at
traction beginning with the Thursday

THE MODERN HOTEL.
A Product of the Times, 1t IL Made by
the Guests.

Product of the Times, 1t Is Made by
the Guests.
Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
Ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells
US again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns of colonial
days. In these articles the writer di-
lates and eXpatiates on the hospitality
Of the old time tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands of the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
If he will drop sentiment for moment
and give the subject little sober re-
Election that the modern traveller, tour
ist or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of hundred years ago. The
only advantage OF hotel of those
times lay in the fact that the lack Of
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler warmer fellow feeling and great
er sociability-a condition in which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together, en- route or at the hotel, made
closer acquaintanceship not only possi-
BILE, but far more desirable than in our
day of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel Is q product of the
times. The wants, desires. whims, fads
and, on top Of all these, the imperative
demands of those who travel have
made the hotel of today what il is from
the standpoint of food. accommOda-
tions, method of service and manage
ment and from every point of view.
The hotel keeper of today responds to
the bidding of the guests. One might
almost say of the man and woman who
travel: Here is your hotel. You have
planned 1t, furnished it. You have out
lined its methods of management and
1t is what you believe should be COM
pretended in the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would not
be tolerated for a moment In our days,
was adapted to its times. To speak of
1t as being superior to the modern hos
telry Is to claim that the old stage
coach, which left you more weary and
worn at the end of Il hundred miles
than the palace coach does today at
the end of thousand miles, was a su-
perior vehicle of travel to those used

Selma Herman the we'll known emo
tional actress, who is to appear In
Theodore Kremer's new play. "Queen
of the Convicts," will do some very
novel stunts during the action of the
piece. In the first act as a pleasant
girl, she makes her stage entrance
with bare feet. Later on, she is seen
milking cow, keeping busy at fenc-
Ing, doing servian dances and flip
flap through trap door. The new
play is under the management of 2.
H. Sullivan, brother of Congress
man Tim Sullivan, the we'll known
theatrical puryeyors of .melodrama,
Sullivan, Harris & Woods. The play
is in four acts and twelve scenes,
based upon the Queen Draga affair,
but after the first act the stage-queen
is depicted as good woman. In real
ity, Queen Draga and her consort were
killed, but in the play she is sayed by
Yankee lover. The production gives
Miss Herman an opportunity to wear
eleven elaborate evening costumes.
She comes to Burt's Sunday afternoon
for a half week.

MORRIS PLEAD GUILTY
Judge Friess Gave Him undetermi.
nate Sentence in Reformatory.

John Morris, who was arrested
charged with the crime of assault with
intent to commit rape was taken be-
fore Judge Friess on Monday morning
and plead guilty to the charge. He
was sentenced to an underestimate
sentence in the Mansfield Reforma-
tory.
Morris is very inferior specimen
of humanity and densely ignorant.
When brought into the jail he was so
dirty that the first thing he received
was substantial bath. This proved
of much benefit to him outwardly, and
it is hoped he may remain in the re-
formatory until he is sufficiently puri-
fled to make him safe to run at large.

II may all be we'll for some of the
big railroad magnates to inform the
public that the cause of so many dis
asters on railroads in which so many
liyes have been lost during the past
few months is due to the fact that the
railroad companies are unable to
properly handle the immense amount
of traffic, and that their lines are COM
PEELED to disregard rules and run
more than one train in the same
block, but it will be different thing
to make the people believe the story
when it is generally known that at
hundreds of signal stations, target
stations and telegraph Offices, these
same railroads are working little boys
of II years of age, twelve, fourteen
and sometimes twenty hours at a
stretch, paying these same boys the
magnificent wages of $25 and $50
per month, and entrustlng to the care
of these children the liyes of hun
dreds of people, and property to the
value of many thousands of dollars.
One of the first things to do to les
sen the number of disasters and con-
sequent loss of life will be to pay bet
ter wages and employ older and more
experienced men, and reduce the
number of hours each man must
work. Increase the number of men
and work no man oyer eight or pos
sibly the hours in twenty-four and
thus have fresh active men at each
throttle, each telegraph instrument
each target and switch, and enough
men in the section gangs to keep
tracks in good condition and the
roads will carry more people with less
loss of life than has been done for
many years. All honor to these boys
who are thus carrying the burdens of
life that should fall on older shout
ders, and was it not for their courage
and pluck in doing work and endur-
ing hardships that should meyer be
put upon them, but which they must
carry in order to get a start in this
hustling age, there would be many
more OF these awful accidents which
make the people shudder when they
read Of them. And greater shame on
the managers of great corporations
which seek to build up fortunes by
the operation Of great companies by
