LONDON, July %, 1907.
This Is the period in London's theatrical
year when actors have to take back seats
Dramatists are the people now. and they
are simply swarming in the metropolis at
present, most Of the English ones who
live out Of London having come to town
to confer with managers and good many
American and French authors being here
too either on business or pleasure.
Prominent in the throng is H. v. Es-
mond, a young English actor dramatist Of
whom a good deal was heard, particularly
In the United States, few years ago, but
who then rather dropped out Of sight as
a playwright, though he has kept on acting
right along. Esmond wrote when We
Were Twenty -one." 1t may be remembered
and "One Summers Day." and rather big
things were prophesed for him, but the
pieces with which he followed these sue
cesses did not prove moneymakers Most
people In London concluded that he had
thrown aside his pen in disgust. but ap-
parently, far from being discouraged, he
has been writing plays harder than ever

WHEN RAsHES SHOW.
How Scarlet Fever and Measles First
Appear.

Nothing strikes more terror TO a young
mothers soul than an appearance Of rash
on her baby. Unless the eruption is prickly
heat, which even the most inexperienced
person is likely to know. it indicates illness.
and a physician should be called accord
ingly.
But, while waiting for him. her mind may
be much relieved by knowing something of
the different forms rash takes and precisely
what they mean For instance, scarlet
fever, that most dreaded OF all Illnesses Is
not to be mistaken for measles by a person
versed In the indications of both. In scar
let fever the eruption is bright coored and
the spots close together that they
seem to run in one mass. though each little
specIl is really clearly defined. 1t begins on
the chest about the neck and spreads
quickly.
Measles show first. to the inexperienced,
on the face. but a physician will usually
see small spots in the mouth before they
appear elsewhere. This particular eruption
that develops rapidly from the face to the
body is accompanied by swelling and Is

once, but appears in rotation in different
parts of the body, that at first por-
ton may be quite clear OF any eruption
while another is covered. 1t disappears by
drying into crusts that drop of after q
time.
German measles, less serious than the
other FORM and frequently first mistaken
for it, may show by rash before there are
ANY fever symptoms. The eruption is
usually much paler than IN real measles
and may be either tiny or fairly large. 1t
remains clearly separate and defined. IL
lasts u shorter time than in measles, and
may fade after two days.

To Revive Dueling in Oklahoma.
From the Kansas City Star.

The Oklahoma constitution does not for
bid dueling. At time so far removed
from the days Of the code. the omission of
any reference to dueling should hardly
cause surprise. 1t Is somewhat surprising,
however. to know that one OF the most
conspicuous leaders in the democratic ma
1ority was prepared to oppose on the floor
or the convention any ban on dueling had
1t been proposed. This delegate. born in a
southern state where dueing was once the
mode Of settling disputes between ventla-
men. Is still in favor of this abandoned
practice.
He said: Men would not dare to malign
each other in the press and in the streets
as they do now II they knew that they
would be compelled to stand up and be shot
at, unsustained by the false courage of
passion and under rules that would give
the physically weaker man an equal oppor-
tunity with his stronger adversary"
