brilliant, versatile, widely advertised
and much disputed editor Of the
Philistine. The audience applAuded
loudly when he first appeared. They
evidently expected something very
radical, yet 1t is doubtful IL he gave
impression to any sentiment which the
majority could not endorse. Last
night he presented q picturesque and
impressive personality. His uncut
hair fell to the rim Of his white turn
