"The Wheel of Love" is from the
pen of that versatile, refreshing and
famous humorist and writer, George
V. Hobart, and it is, beyond a doubt,
one of the prettiest, happiest, jolli-
est, cleanest and most invigorating
comedies seen on the local stage in
several seasons. 1t fits Paul Gilmore
and he fits into 1t. In fact, this
young actor will shine in any wor-
thy role, be it ever so different from
any other role he has assumed. He
is as versatile as he is clever; he is
as original as he is handsome. Jack
Hartley" the role assumed by Mr..
Gilmore, is a jovial, buoyant, yet
strong character. Mr.. Gilmore's de-
lfneation of the lines and character
was superb. His quick changes from
the serious to the ridiculous were
typical of his versatility. He was
good in every scene. His lovemak-
ing, his teasing, his bantering, were
charming. THE Wheel of Love" is
crammed full of clean and forceful
slang expressions, and it is slang
that is not rough or vulgar. Humor
bubbles up every moment or two and
flows in sparkling streams. There
is nothing commonplace or stale in
the little comedy.
Like many stars, Mr.. Gilmore does
not carry an inferior company in
order to shine all the brighter him
self. He picks out capable people
and he has succeeded admirably this
season in the selection of his COM
pany.
Every member deserves much
credit. willard Louis, as "Griz,"
Hartley's pet cowpuncher, was most
enjoyable. 1t is almost an original
character, so happily different is it
from the usual run of stage cow
boys. Griz pleased immensely. The
character was portrayed ideally and
was at no time exaggerated Miss
Phyllis, young, dainty and sweet,
was charming as Eleanor. j. X. APP
plebee, the Englishman, was very
good. Hal Newton Carlyle, whose
earthly career ended with last night S
performance, as detailed elsewhere,
proved himself talented actor as
Grayson, the old guardian. Paul
Terhune, as Prof. Billings. George
Bowen as Nathaniel Weatherby and
Bill Murdoc, Maude Howe. Lillian
Baker and Ricca Allen as Aunt An
gelica, were all pleasing and worthy.
The stage settings for the three
acts were handsome. The last act

 If reason is to be our guide and all the established facts are taken into considera ton, there is no escape from the conclusion that a brutal murder was committed and that the convic- tion was just.

MAN AND HISPUTURE Dr. Phillips Heard in Last of Series of Interesting
 Sermons. JUDAS NOT ALL BAD Was Tempted at the Weak Point Just as Any Man May be-liis Vul-
 nerable Point.

Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phillips last night preached the last m the series of Sunday evening sermons which has been running for some weeks at the Church of the Redeemer. He took for his subject Man and His Future" In the course of his remarks he took oc- casion to justify Christ in His choice of Judas as one of His disciples. He said Judas might well have become one of the foremost of the disciples, preaching the word abroad as well as | Peter and James and John. The one 1 thing that pr rsvented was the fact that | he had his vulnerable point and that right there he was most sorely tempt ed. That Inerable point was his l cupidity, his desire for gain. Dr. Phillips said he could not bring him self to believe that Judas was chosen from the very beginning to play the part of betrayer in great tragic drama.
 The text was found in Acts I-xxv: That he might go to his own place. Dr. Phillips said there are those who would have us believe that Christ chose Judas to be one of His disciples, even though He knew him to be an apostate from the very beginning. They would have us believe that Judas was chosen to play his part in a sort of mechanism But this is not the true view. One cannot hold that view and still have the same respect for the Di- vine God
 Cupidity was Judas great vulnera- hle point and it was there that he was most tempted as is usually the case with those who fall Judas and al of the disciples had everything in theil favor to help them. First they had His presence with them. Then they had His ever-present love, His exam pie. and His teachings.
 It was simply that Judas failed to re- spond to his environment. He listen ed but failed to take action. That is the sad. sickening fact about Judas, said Dr Phillips, "aud about us, too We trust too much to our environment for our hope of grace and glory. We depend too much upon our training and righteous bringing ID. If Judas failed in such company, surely we need something more positive than environ ment and training to depend upon to attain life"
 'Is 1t not true that the temptations that carry men down are the ones that assail them at their weakest points? There is no mystery about this man 4 Judas There is no evidence of divine
 prearrangement. He simply found hi! level but that finding was of his owl choice, not at all predestined and SC he would have been out of place among those other disciples in whose hearts He was enshrined.

GUARDING ASSASSIN.
Deported Miners Return to Colorado
 Leads to Precaution.

Telluride, Col. March 29-As a result of the attempt to murder Gen. Bulke- ley Wells, general manager of the Smuggler- Union mines at Pandora yes terday, Sheriff Fitzpatrick is taking precautions tonight to guard the jail in which Steve Adams, charged with the assassination of Arthur l.. Collins, Gen. Wells predecessor, as mine man ager, is confined.
 The feeling against Adams is becom- Ing more bitter every day. He is sup posed to represent the element among the miners that believes in violence against mine owners Feeling against Adams has also ben engendered, 1t is said, because during the last two weeks fully score of miners who were de- ported during the troublesome strike days, have returned to the Telluride region and are actively attempting to create sympathy for Adams.

smarty spoke up with commonplace answer to say that the railroad did not go anywhere but that they kept it right there to run trains on. It was true that the railroad was permanent. But what of the man who goes on it? Can it be said that he is forced to go where it goes simply because he gets on the train? The initiative is on his part. The hint in this whole matter seems to me to be: Study myself. Learn your weak points and guard well.
 'There are three points that I want to leave with you before I close. The first is this: Your own place may be among the heroes on the heights. That is God surely wants you, an honor to yourself. life of value in the city and a power in the world. But you may find yourself among the depths, among the men who have yielded to the lower forces and have been over- Whelmed.
 "The second thought is that the speed increases as we go, the good ascending and the bad descending. There was a driver of stage coaches in the west who was given to the vil- est kind of living, His name was a synonym of the wickedest follies. He came to his death-bed and those around his bed noticed him feeling about with his foot outside the bed cloths and wondered what he was do- ing. Listening intently they heard him say: I am on the down-grade. The leaders are running away and cannot find the brake The speed was increasing. But as fast as we can go on the down grade thank God We may go up as fast, up to the high est heavens. to the perfect man.
 "The third thought Is that it is not easy to wreck oneself as Judas did. Can you think of him outside the city walls without any agony of spirit? He knew what remorse was, He was man enough to be sorry, he was man enough to be afraid to go back to his fellow disciples and to face their scorn.
 An artist painted two pictures once One was the face of young boy. He was laughing innocently. He was the l joy and the hope of the home and great things were prophecied of his l future. The second picture was of a hardened criminal behind the bars. The face was lined and scanned by the fingers of cri ne. The eyes were flash ing hatred. Beneath the artist placed these words This Is the beginning and the end of one life Are you prepared to say that it was easy for that boy to be turned into that hardened crim- lnal? Was it easy for him to disap- point a mothers love a fathers ambi- ton for hlm7
 "Oh, let us believe 1t. let us believe that no man finds his place in the depths except as he brushes aside and beats dow nthe influence which led him toward a better life I freely affirm that Judas might well have become a good disciple a worthy minister of the gospel sharing such fame as did Peter and James and John later. want to acquaint my Master of chos- ing an apostate from the beginning, one who was to play a part in a great tragic drama. Judas might well have inspired men through his words through all time. But he was tempted at the weak point and he submitted. Oh. let us he watchful of the peril. Let us guard well against our weak points and look out for our futures"

 T find that the obligation of tho state is to take care of all roads from the passage of this law, and not to be under any obligation for the condition of roads which passed over into the possession of the state in an imperfect condition
 Tn regard to the distribution of moneys, we have under the present law for the purposeof repairs in the towns of the state a fund of $25000,. with the current and next ensuing year .i appropriations will result in s5000).
