both ashore and afoat. seems to take the
cake.
One Of the useful things about a navy
is that whenever a surplus in the treas
u.y at Washington gets too large-as it
is just nova large gunboat or two gives
US something to spend our money on and
avoid cutting down the tariff tax on the
people. So it works both ways. Gives
US an excuse for taxing the people on the
one hand and supporting on-produoing
class on the other. A beaurooraey is bad
when it exists in some benighted country
like Russia. but it is an institution to
glory in when It exists at home. especially
when It wears little different eolored
uniform.
We are making good deal Of ado
about sending our feet Of gunboats from
tho Atlantic to the Pacific just now. A
very reasonable view Of the matter would
seem to be that the fellows on gunboats
can have just as good time on the
Pacific as they can on the Atlantic. About
all that is necessary in any case is to
raise enough hullabaloo now and then to
keep the American fellaheen thinking
that costly navy is in some way nee
essary TO our national Importance. The

HARR1sONBURG, VA. April 2o.-Dur-
ing the rendition OF Thomas Dixon's play.
"The Cansman," in Assembly Hall here
last night, diabolical attempt was made
to stampede the large audience present by
Gripping the electric light system and
turning In fire alarms. The theatre was
crowded to SEQ tho play, many having
come forty and fifty miles. Just before
the first act closed the entire house was
plunged into darkness, as well as the rest
OF the town. An investigation by the
superintendent of the plant developed the.
fact that one OF the transmission wires
which carry the current from the plant on
tho Shenandoah River. twenty miles east
OF Harrisonburg, to the substation here
had been cut. There was no doubt but
that the wire had been deliberately cut
by Some persons who was an experienced
electrician. Strips had been nailed to
the pole to enable the miscreant to climb
It, and tho wire was cut near the cross
arm. The damage was not repaired until
early in the morning, but the play pro-
coded, kerosene lamps being used to fur
nish light for the actors on the stage.
The rest OF the theatre was In darkness.
but fortunately cooler heads among the
audience, which numbered nearly thous-
and people, prevented panic. Soon after
the lights went out fro alarms were
turned In, one right after the other. In
outlying sections Of the town. 1nvesti-
CATION proved the alarms to be false, and
general alarm was not sounded. The
town authorities are conducting all In
vesugation to discover the Identity of
the man who cut tho transmission wires
a telephone wire was also cut, presum-
ably by the Same man. In the hope Of
cutting off communication between the
power plant and the substation. but the
wrong line was severed. Thousands Of
dollars worth of machinery would have
been ruined II word could not have been
gotten to the power plant for tho men
on duty there to cut of tho current.
