DUBLIN AUDIENCE
 KISSES A PLAY

Dublin, March 9-Extraordinary scenes were witnessed recently 1T, the Abbey theater, Dublin, which is nolely devoted to the production of plays dealing with Irish life and character. In new piece named
 'Playboy of the West" which was produced in tie Abbey theater last night, one of the characters is a self-aCHsed parricide, who is made love to by a number of young Irish peasant girls. Soon after the cur tain was raised misses were heard and little later the crowded pit rose to man, and the uproar for a time was deafening. The orches- tra began to play, but the music was drowned in the singing of Irish songs and cheers for "the men of the west. After a time a dozen policemen entered and took up a position on the left of the pit, while a large force remained outside the principal entrance. An attempt was made to resume the play, which pro- ceeded amidst hooting and hissing of the entire audience, not a sylla- ble of the play could be heard

their pensions from the date of the receipt of their applications
 In justice ta himself and to the members of his family, every ex- soldier entitled to a pension should have pension certificate That shows definitely that he served hon. ! orably and was discharged from the service honOrably. That paper will be of great value in years to come, entirely aside from the good the money he will receive may do the pensioner. Fifty eyars hence, that certificate will be framed in gold by the descendants of the pensioner, because it is badge of honor
 Pensioners are now dropping off the rolls at the rate of approximate ly 5000 a month. Among the old soldiers the death rate now is very great. That does not mean, how ever, great decrease in the actual number of pensioners, because, when a soldier passes away, his widow and minor children usually apply for and receive pensions. These pensions do not aggregate so much money as the pensions of sol diers, but they do amount to almost as many pensioners.
 We now have on the pension rolls about SO0,OOO names. This number will be increased somewhat under the new law and the amount paid out will increase for a year or two, but it soon will begin to de- crease, as, in the course of events. the man who fought the countrys battles cannot survive a great while longer"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. C., March g. Every person entitled to a pension under the recently enacted service pension law ought, in justice to him self and to his descendants, apply for a pension.
 This statement was made by Gen eral Vespasian Warner, Commits sioner of Pensions, in cowmentins upon the operation of the new law. General Warner was asked how the law was working and if there would be a material addition to the pen- sion rolls by reason of it's enact ment
 Naturally, he replied, cit is making lots of work for the pension office, but that is what We are here for. Personally, I do not believe now that the law will put on the rolls many new names. When it was under consideration experts in
 
 thought that the new names added to the pension rolls on account of the law, il it should be enacted, would be very great in number. General Ainsworth, adjutant gen. l eral of the army, estimated that the number of what We call the sun- known army''-that is, the men who served in the Civil War and are not now on the pension rolls-would az gregate one hundred thousand. 9th CT estimate did not differ material ly from General Ainsworth's fg- ure,
 The indications now are, after | the law has been in operation l month, that the estimates of the unknown army were too high. 1 do not believe it will aggregate more than fifty or sixty thousand. We are receiving an enormous num- Der of applications for pensions un- der the service pension act, but they come principally from those who already are receiving pensions and are entitled, under the new law, to an increase. The men who served in the Civil War are getting old and very many of them. if they should make proper application. will receive somewhat greater pension than they are receiving at present.
 These applications are pouring into the pension bureau at tre- mendous rate just now, Many thous- ands are received in the mails each 1 day. The bureau force is far be- hind in it's consideration of the cases, simply because it is a physical ! impossbility to handle every day all l the mail of that kind which comes in. Thousands of the applications have not yet been opened, but that lact will make little or no differ ence to the applicants. Eventually the applications will be handled duly and the applicants will receive

A MISTAKE
But BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE
SOUTHERN CONSTITUTIONS Is
THAT NEGRO SHALL GET BAL
LOT WHEN QUALIFIED FOR 1T.

The principal address at the an
nual exercises yesterday commemo-
rative OF the opening OF the Johns
Hopkins university at Baltimore, Md.
was delivered by Hannis Taylor, for
mer minister to Spain, and now
professor OF international constitu-
tional law at Columbian university,
Washington. His subject was THE
relation OF the South to pending
problems" He regarded the 18th
amendment to the constitution as a
declaration OF independence because
II set the South free from a dying
institution. The first great mistake,
he declared, was in the enfranchise-
ment OF those entirely unprepared
for citizenship. The principle upon
which the new southern constitutions
rest is that as fast as their colored
citizens became qualified by educa-
ton or property, or both, for the fran
chise, they shall be endowed with
it. Along with a just and gradual
bestowal OF the franchise should go
an earnest effort TO advance the ne
gro race through public education.

WANTS MONEY
SULTAN OF MOROCCO WOULD
LIKE To MAKE A LITTLE
BORROW.

Paris. Feb. 26.-The Sultan of
Morocco is seeking the financial aid
OF the Powers. He has sent a cir
cular to the diplomatic mody. in
which he requests that the necessity
for a loan shall be laid before the
respective Governments. The circu-
lar points out that the Government
has been compelled to send several
expeditions against Raisuli and the
Pretender, and that these expendi-
tions have entailed heavy expenses.
The Makhzen treasury is now ex-
hausted. and his majesty asks that
the various bankers connected with
the Morocco State Bank may be EN-
powered to anticipate in proportional
amounts the ten millions OF francs
which are to be paid directly the
bank is established.

Whipple that he would have to place

Now, Major Whipple, while a man
of great bodily strength and perfect
health and activity, was a little de-

REGION NOT YET

As IN THE HEART OF SOUTH

Four men. constituting a Harvard

from New York bound for No Mans
Land in South America. They mean
to enter region perhaps the size
OF Texas. perhaps much bigger.
where Peru, Bolivia and Brazil come
together, which no white man is
known to have visited.
The departure of this party is a
reminder that South America now
affords more room than any other
division OF the earth for the fresh
exploration OF land surfaces The
headwaters of the Amazon are fer
tile fields OF research. Away TO the
south, In Paraguay, Argentina and
Bolivia, are vast stretches Of Ell

of five nations. a recent writer has
said that 1--WE know more today OF
inner Africa than the government OF
Bogota knows OF the southeastern
third of Colombia"
Sixteen or seventeen years ago the
Scotch geographer. Bartholomew. es-
timated that one-eighth of the land
surface OF the earth was almost
wholly unknown. The march of dis
covery has been rapid since then and
the fraction representing unexplored
country has been reduced below one
fiftieth. An area almost one-third
as large as the United States is
still to be trodden by the pathhnders
Or mapmakers.
Many points of interest i'm the
Canadian Rockies are yet to be fully
revealed, Labrador has not yielded
its last secret, the arctic regions Of
Asia have their unknown territory
and nature still has her hiding spots
in Africa, despite the marvellous ad-
vance Of the explorers.

been saying for many years, but the

WORLDS BIG
GEST DIAMOND

What is said TO be the biggest dia-
mond in the world is reposing in
bank on Holborn viaduct in London,
quite close to the home OF the dia-
mond merchants in Hatton garden.
The very name of the bank is kept
a profound secret And so careful
a matter is the showing OF the stone
TO the representatives OF oriental
princes, TO commercial syndicates
and international associations OF dia-
mond dealers that a number OF crys-
tai facsimiles have been made and
prospective buyers have TO be salts
fed with these replicas.
If, however, it is seen that they
mean business the insurance COM
pany is notified and, according to the
American magazine, n heavy premi-
UNI paid by the owners for the re-
moval OF the stone from the strong
room OF the bank. This gem is
twice as big as the biggest egg the
biggest hen ever laid. weighs a pound
and third, and is invaluable. No
body knows what It is worth, but
50 100000 Is reasonable price.
This record stone was not, as
might be supposed, sent to Europe
in ship of its own. So prosaic is
the civilized commerce OF today that
this vast treasure was merely sealed
up in tin box registered as a postal
packet and sent through the mails
as though it were a worthless geo
logical specimen. It was received
from South Africa at the London Of
flee of the Premier diamond mining
company, limited. and measures
were taken at once to insure It for
about half its value-say, $2,5OO.-
900.

given his freedom, or rather he had
been allowed to transact his own
business. Andy worked at the smelt-
ers and drew his own money without
interference from his parents They
