vsrmeat,s Progress Toward prohibition


Vermont's local option law Is mp
parently working slowly toward fair
amount Of voluntary prohibition, as it
was meant to do and should. At the
recent elections the number of places
voting for license was further reduced
from thirty TO twenty-five, so that the
sentiment Of the communities appears
to be predominantly for the prohibitive
law. Burlington, curiously enough,
which is the most populous city and the
one which might be most inconyen-
fenced, in theory, by a prohibition
forced upon it by State law, IS now
dry, by her own neighborhood fat and
will continue so until the next oppor-
tunity at least, it not longer. Burling-
ton used to be one of the chief COM
plainants against State prohibition.
That she has swung over to the mo"
column, however, should tend to con-
vince the friends Of temperance that
under the local option law communities
can be depended upon to vote thus oc.
casionally, even when they are fairly
large. And it IL vastly better that
the matter be left to the individually
smaller units Of population, since there
by the local expression is apt to have
more determination behind it and really
result in greater measure OF actual
prohibition when prohibition Is invoked
at all. Each community now works out
it's problem to suit its own needs, as
IL ought to do; and ii is notable that
the number Of towns and cities voting
for the licensing of liquor sales in Ver-
mont steady diminishes, after a trial
Of about four years. That the number
at first should have been larger was
natural enough, as result Of the re-
action. 1t is probable that by this
time the State has come pretty near
the normal number of wet" towns.

WILL SETTLE ETHICS OF
STREET IMPROVEMENT WORK
Board of Works Will Determine When
Contractor Legally Starts OPERA
ticns and Whether commis-
sions Are Permissible

At Mondays session the board Of pub
lie works expects to render a decision
on several points of vital Importance in
street Improvement work.
A decision will be made, with the as
sistance of the city's legal department.,
On what actually constitutes the begin
ring of work on q, job under an improve
ment contract.
Contractors have always held in the
past that when they made formal ap-
plication to have stakes set by the city
engineer and pay the fee for this work
that work has been legally begun.
In the Ralph Sullivan case, now pend
ing, one of the charges is that actual
work has not been started on Jefferson
street because no shoveing of earth has
been done. The Western Paving COM
pany replies to this that it is the city
engineers fault. as the stakes have not
been set, though the fees have been
raid.
The Sullivan case, when determined.
will also settle the question of whether
it is right or wrong for individuals to
take commissions from contractors for
work in connection with petitions.
The board has always held that the
practice is wrong, for in the end the
property owners must pay the fiddler
and it is probable that hereafter affidav-
it's will be required on all contracts
showing that no money has been spent
in services of this character.

INSANE PATENTS
FILL INSTITUTION
CELLS CROWDED TO CAPACITY;
SOME IN BASEMENT
Legal Holidays Make 1t Impossible to
Relieve Congestion Because of
interference with Court
Business

With cells and basement filled with in
sane patien-,, officials and employees at
the county hospital are at their wits
ends to make the conditions surrounding
these poor unfortrmates more bearable.
With the cells provided for the accom-
moda ton OF the insane crowded to their
utmost capacity, the officials have found
it necessary to place large number of
demented persons in the basement a
place never intended for this class of
prisoners.
At present there is a total of fifty
three insane persons in the hospital.
Twenty of hese are confined in the cells
built for their temporary use, but the
capacity of these cells is exceeded, two
patients occupying cells intended for one.
In the basement thirty-three patients are
held.
Inside the barred inclosure on hte lower
level of the Jail the nurses watch and
attend to the wants of the inmates,
while on the outside, pacing along the
corridors, three armed guards are con-
stantly on duty, ready for any emergen-
cy.
There are at present more insane pa
tients in the county institution than at
any time during it's history, and until
the holidays are over the congestion will
continue, and probably become aggravat-
ed, as there is hardly day passes when
an insane person is not brought into the
receiving hospital at the police station
and thence transferred to the keeping of
the county.

BELIEVE MISSING MAN
HAS RETURNED HOME

That John d. Draper. who escaped
from private sanitarium in Los Angeles
over a week ago, has returned to his
old home in New York, is the belief of
the police, who have been asked to aid
in the search for the missing man.
The police yesterday found a pawnshop
in which a watch carried by Draper had
been pawned, and from a conversation
between the man, who deposited the
watch, and the pawnbroker, 1t is
thought he has left Los Angeles to join
a sister who lives at Gloversville. N. Y
Draper who was retired liveryman of
Escondido, is said to have become de-
mented in September last.

Stunt at orpheum Is Side Splitter,
and After 1t Is Over Every One.
Wonders Why He Laughed
His Head OFF

The cleverest acting of the week is
found at theater where acting per Sc
is not ordinarily at premium. 1t Is at
the Orpheum, and the actor is man
billed as a comedy juggler
His name is Carl Baggesen. He may be
juggler but he mercifully refrains from
juggling. He just acts.
The juggler we have always with u.s.
but the real actor is rare bird. Hence
this paean to Carl Baggesen.
Baggesen can act standing STILL With
out moving a muscle of his own he can
set all yours shaking with laughter. And
the best authorities will tell you that to
communicate mirth without motion OF
speech is the greatest manifestation of
the actors art.
He wanders onto the stage while the
other Baggesen is doing her childish
juggling stunt. You behold a shambling
red-nosed man in an impossible music
hall disguise. He is shabbily genteel and
quietly, unobtrusively soused. His is the
kind of jag which knows it is but thinks
itself SO well behaved that nobody else
is wise.
You expect him to start some funny
business" but he doesn't. In a quiet
way he is conscious of the audience and
resolved to maintain a nice, respectable
appearance.
He is furtively anxious about his white
cotton gloves. They dangle on his hands
as hopelessly as though they, too, had
been too oft to the wash With feeble
alacrity Baggesen steers respectfully
clear of the large juggling lady, and after
one or two experiments strikes a mod
est demure pose with eyes timidly fixed
on the gallery.
And though there is not trace of the
grotesque or exaggerated in that pose
the house explodes with glee.
Character the Reason
Why? It's character. Character sticks
out all over the great Baggesen. You be-
hold feeble minded wreck whose cloud
ed consciousness is wrapped sup in the
small vanity of not doing the wrong
thing and earning the displeasure of his
wife. All this he conveys to you without
n movement or gesture or a grimace
1t is the acme of the ludicrous
Baggesen does much more as the act
progresses, but he never smiles nor loses
particle of the original quiet simplicity
of his creation.
He gets into difficulty with a fly paper
and is deeply ashamed before the au-
dece as he plucks it furtively from one
MANU- Oiiiy u liIll IL IL IuOHlenC later aQ-
herring to the other.
In that and many other hopeless diff
cuties he brings laughter to climax by
the sudden resolution with which he am
bes off the stage to find solution of
his troubles.
The, fun becomes more active and COM
plicated toward the end The stage is
strewn with broken crockery-but not
a word is spoken.
In one of his extremities the solemn
Baggesen rroves himself to be a bit of
a contortionist But you don't want him
to controt-you just want him to act
because it is only once in a lifetime yo,r
see such acting as his.
The Herald artist has caught Baggesen
in characteristic attitude. If YOU have
seen him this picture will draw tears
of joy to your eyes. Every one who has
seen the Baggesen act will cut out this
sketch and in it on the wall as cure
for the blues.

tistic career is out of the question in
America, where could one find a country,
a city, where the embryo artist may

nizes the talent even without the superb
cial polish, one might say, in spite of the
outside veneer.
"And Italy! WHAT has it to offer the
artist? Absolutely nothing! 1t produces
nothing. The Italians are born singers
and have magnificent voices. But that is
all there is to 1t. Example: Caruso! He
has a God-given voice. But one cannot
learn to sing as he does. And what else
could one learn from a man who as
Faust wears white gloves on the stage

notice of the aforesaid virtuous maid

can only read it and be amused.
A critic in Berlin has this to say of
Ernest Schelling's playing:
Ernest Schelling has played for the
second time in Berlin. this time in a
piano recital. He belongs to the race of
pianists who coax their music out of the
piano instead of using the more drastic
hammer and tongs' method. have never
hear the first movement of the Schu-
mann Fantasie in C played with more
poetry and fantasy. Pianists are fond of
printing on their programs the Schlegel
motto which Schumann used to illum-
mate his music:
Durch allie Tone tonel.
I'm bunten Erdenrauu
Elm leser Ton gezogem
Fur den er heimlich lanschet.
"But the soft pervading tone is usual
ly swallowed up in a display of virtu
osity Schelling placed himself behind the
composition, put the music between him
self and the public, so that Schumann and
not Schelling had the chief word to say"
