A Tall Statesman.

Hats off to my good friend Hon. Cy-
rus A. Sulloway, representative from
New Hampshire. who stands six feet
seven in his stockings. He is not only
taller than any of his colleagues or
than any senator. but also taller than
any member Of the house Of commons
or house of lords. The tallest common
er, Eric Hambro. who has just resign
ed. is only six feet five and three-quar-
ter inches. while Lord Ampthill. who
can't resign even if he wanted. to. is
only six feet four and half inches.
Thus. even in the small matter of phys
ical altitude. our statesmen beat the
Britishers

Englishmen were free. Charles I. was
much such man as Nicholas. and ey-

The story of England was in many re-
spects repeated in France later on.
Louis XVI. was an amable sort of
king as kings go. He spent his leisure
in making locks to such an extent that
he came to be known as 1.-The lock-
smith" He seems to have possessed
the domestic and private virtues to
large extent for king but he repre-
scented bad system. and he lost his
head for it, The sins of his ancestors
were visited upon him. Talleyrand said
that Louis made dozen concessions
to the people any one of which would
have saved his life and his throne had
1t been made twenty-four hours sooner
It's wonder that no king ever has
sense enough to read the handwriting
on the wall and to yield gracefully to
the inevitable. There must be a dis
ease peculiar to monarchs which
should be named royal blindness.
Nothing is more certain than that Rus
STA will be free.

1.-THE HOLY CITY,"
A Strong Play-Presented by a Re-
markably Strong lG Company AT
the Opera House Tonight.

While in attendance upon the dis
tlict convention of the knights of
Pythian in Gaffney this week. it was
our pleasure to hear and see the
presentation of "The Holy City,
The story as recorded in the scrip
lures b. the evangelistS. is very
closely followed in the presentation
Of this play, and in connection with
it is interviewer a thread of romance,
which deals with the love of Salome,
the daughter Of Herodias, for MariuS,
a young Reman. The love story reach
ing its climax when Salome, through
mistake. pierce> Marius with her dag
ger, taking him for Andrew. She ac-
cepts the Christian faith and turns
the dagger upon her own body and
falls lifeless upon the body of Mar
JUS. Marius had also accepted the
Christian faith and had resisted the
passionate love Of Salome.
In the play there are presented the
characters of Caiphas. Pontius PLATE,
Herod, Herodias. Salome, John the
Baptist. Peter, Andrew, Nicodemus,
Judas Iscariot, Elizabeth, mother Of
John, and Mary Magdalene. The
crucifxion, which is shown on can
vas, is taken from Michael Angeles
masterpiece.
The acting is very fine, and the play
is a very difficult one and calls for
talent above the ordinary. Miss
Pauline A. Harice. as Salome; John
F. Duorak, as John the Baptist; Clay
Clement, Jr., as Marius; L. D. Kirk,
as Pontius Plate were very good,
and J. H. Williams, as Andrew was
exceptionally good. In fact, the
company is we'll balanced throughout.
The stage setting and scenery as we'll
as the costumes, represent the period
from which the play is taken. The
dance Of Salome before Herod is one
of the scenes, which is portrayed IN
the play, and it is not as extreme as
some of the other plays Of a similar
character.
The bringing in Of the head Of John
the Baptist on charger, and the
purchase of Judas with the thirty
pieces of silver are other scenes,
which are portrayed in the play. In
fact, we saw nothing in it, which
could offend anyone, and it is pres
ented by a very strong company
You should see it at the opera house
tonight.
