Trend of the Times.

The follow letter has been received at
this office. 1t comes from one of the
most honored and critical men of to-
day. A man whose familiarity with
public affairs has taught him the les
sons we must all learn. A man who
this county has honored and who has
honored it, and whose view is bright
ened and wisdom increased with age
and experience.
To the Editor of the Spectator:
Some may think your expressions in
the last SPECTATOR on the result of
the election too pessimistic. But they
contain the truthful partent of coming
events as taught by the history of
other republics, which patriotic and
wise people should intelligently ponder
and not allow dire calamity to steal on
our beloved country while they are in
the carousal of indulgent ease and Sc
curity. The late Hon. A. HI. H. Stuart
in his efforts to arouse his countrymen
to sense of threatening dangers which
environed them, once exclaimed in the
magnificent grandure of his speech
"Must the earth quake to secure the
attention of the people?' You may
properly call upon all patriotic citizens
to examine the trend of affairs. Beg
the schools and citizens to read the
downfall of the Roman and Grecian
Republics. The special actors in the
great dramas and tragedies which en-
sued. Demosthenese and Cicero, Ca-
sar and Brutus, Anthony with his
Cleopatra, and Pompey, Nero and
Cattaline, with multitudes of intrig-
uers and murderers. Human depravi-
ty still remains. What may be expect
ed from like circumstances ?

sense of the dignity of art ana the re-

Mary Emerson in the Making of
Maddaiean.

In the Making of Maddalean, in
which Miss Mary Emerson will be seen
at the Beverly Theatre on Monday,
Nov. 10th, the author, Samuel Lewis,
has created play that promises TO do
much for star, company and the au-
thor himself, Mr.. Lewis, ii Will be re-
membered, wrote, His Majesty and
the Maid and Will of the Wisp for Miss
Emerson and the success of these two
romantic dramas was so pronounced
that in arranging for a new play, Mr..
Lewis understood the methods and
style of the star thoroughly. So the
Making Of Maddalena is the result of
this idea. Maddalena is a young ltal-
ian girl, and in her home city, Rome,
where two young Americans, George
Hale and Augustus Foster are study
ing art, she poses for the different art
students and artists. A thoroughly
good girl, she is attracted to George,
and in the first act, through combin-
alton of circumstances, he marries her.
Ambitious to become as she thinks
American women are, and trying her
best to please her husband, Maddalena
works and studies and really does inn
prove. But George realizes now the
great difference between them, and can
see nothing but that. The end of the
second act sees his separation from her,
and his departu e for the Uuited States.
The third act takes place in New York
City, where Maddalena has come, and
where George is now living. They
meet again and George, finally aWakes
to his responsibilities and for the first
time seeing what he has lost, asks
Maddalena to come back to him. The
last act brings to an end a remarkable
play, and unites the little family.
