Officials Should Get Busy

Elsewhere in this issue of the Her,

the gamblers to shut up shop.
The enforcement of the anti-gam-
bling statute has been lax indeed in the
state and it is high time the executive
officers are waking up. When the agi-
tation for its enforcement became too
great to be longer ignored we heard
from everywhere the plea that it was
impossible to secure evidence. What
n monstrous piece of i~mpudence!
Think of trying to impose on an intel.
hgent people with such a plea. The
sheriff of any county knows that one
word from him will shut up every gam,
bling shop within his jurisdiction. The
same with the county attorney. No use
beating about the bush. These officers
swore most solemnly before God and
man to do this very thing-but they
haven't done it. Not only this, but
there are deputies who haven't done
1t. Not only this, but there are depu-
ties who have continuous personal

can prevent. 1t is not a question of
what laws these gentlemen think
should be enforced, or of what a large
number of people may want, or of what
they think the law should be: but
what the law is, and of their official

More Cheerfulness.

There ought to be a state prison for
those who destroy the hopefulness
and lessen the energy of their fellows;
they are human ravens e~ternally
croaking their "Nevermore!" like that
dismal fowl whose neck the poet
should have wrung at an early stage
of his visit. We want a prophet Of
cheerfulness; a dispenser Of sun

conductor with a mop and a dust

Heat Of the Sun.

1t is not impossible to express the
marvellous power of the suns heat,
but we can admit without shame that
1t is impossible to comprehend it. The
heat emitted by the sun in each sec

suit from the combustion of eleven
quadrillions, six hundred thousand

Women on French Juries.

A movement Is being made in GER

the representation Of women on the

try women for crime before a court
where the jury is composed entirely
of men is an unnatural and unfair
proceeding.

5 University Notes
BY LESLIE BAILEY COOK.

The second term of the university
year will begin next Monday, The first
day will be devoted, as usual, to the
assignment OF classes and lessons, and
to entrance examinations. The stu
dents who resolved at the end of the
last examinations to study no more
that year are now facing the necessity
of gathering up their scattered book,
and resuming operations. The follow
ing rule for successful maintenance in
the college community is offered, with
due apologies to Bill Barlow:
Late to bed,
Early to rise,
Hustle like thunder,
And improvise."

power he put into each part was eX-
| traordinary. He threw himself so com
pletely into each that his skin contract
ed, his eyes shone and his lips grew
winter and winter. The pains he took
| in drilling the minor characters was
unbelievable. He never lost patience
but would go over and over a single
sentence sometimes until he was salts
| fed. In rehearsing Hamlet" for in
stance, he went over and over the
opening words, Who's there?" He
wanted the words to ring out like a
pistol shot, and was unable to make
| the actor catch his meaning. Miss
Terry saw him growing more and more
| fatigued. and begged him to give it up
as he was, in her estimation, making
no-readway. "Yes; it's little better, u
he answered quietly, and so it's worth
| doing" AS has been before stated
Miss Terry considered Hamlet lrv-
! ing's greatest part, because 1t was the
only part big enough for him. Its diff
| culties gave more scope Tor his great
talents than any other, but she thinks
that if dramatic literature had fur
nished a part greater than Hamlet.
his success in that would have been his
crowning triumph, and would have car
ried his name in a blaze of glory down
thru the ages.
Altho it has been rumored that Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt's wedding has been
postponed, and even that her engage
ment to the Hungarian nobleman has
been broken off, yet nothing really re-
liable has appeared in print to cor
roborate this statement, and it is there
fore presumed that the wedding will
take place on Jan. 2S, which was the
date set for the ceremony in New York.
h9 hpPn from
Newport to the New York establish
ment of the Vanderbilts, Count SEE
chenyi is on the spot, several of his
relatives have left Vienna to sail for
America to attend the wedding, so we
are told, and various other straws seem
to indicate pretty plainly which way
the wind blows as regards this particu-
lar matrimonial affair. In Hungary, so
the newspapers say, all is excitement in
the topmost social circles, and the com
ing wedding, as well as the series of
receptions and fetes arranged for the
brides welcome, are the principal top
les of conversation. An army of work
men are still working on Castle OrmeoZ
the Counts ancestral estate, and one OF
the Oldest and most historic in Hun
gary, which is being put in apple-pie
order for its new mistress. The estate
comprises LOO acres, and tho allowed
to run down considerably, has the nat
ural beauty of fine old trees, hill, dale,
forest and glade, which, fortunately,
the lack of money cannot affect nor the
possession of it supply. The newspa-
pers also tell us that the Count has or
dered a dress for his brides presenta-
ton at court This is of heavy gold
embroidery and has a sort of apron
down the front, while with it is worn
a flowing vail attached to the coronet
in the back. Miss Vanderbilt enjoys
the distinction of being the first Amer
lean girl to marry into the ancient Hun
garian nobility, Count Szechenyi being
the pioneer of that exclusive class in
thus sharing his title with an American,
and it is to be hoped that he may prove
more satisfactory as a husband than
have most of the foreigners whom our
girls have married.

sympathies. and it is a well-known fact
that at the time of England's war in

and spent much of his childhood with
in the walls of old Windsor Castle. The
unmistalabIe animosity which undoubt-
edly does exist between the two coun-
tries, however, is largely the work of
the press of both Germany and Eng
land and while the former has refrain
ed from personal attacks upon King
Edward, and has contented itself with
assailing his Government, the English
papers have been most abusive in their
criticisms of the Kaiser. There has
hardly been an issue of their comic pa
pers, from Punch down. which has not
contained some caricature OF him. The
recent visit of William II. to England
was supposed to proceed to some extent
from a desire on his part to overcome,
if possible, the British prejudice to him,
but it is doubtful if much was accom-
pliShed in this respect. The British
public received him without any dis
play of animosity, but with Indifference
His appearance awakened no enthusi-
asm. 1t is also given as a reason for
the London visit that he wished to con-
suit a specialist with regard to his
throat trouble. The Kaiser has had the
sympathy of the entire world in the
black cloud which has always hung over
him concerning the possible inheritance
of the disease which killed his father.
Four years ago he had a most success

and all danger of the dreaded trouble
was supposed to be entirely removed.

Ellen Terry, the English actress, who
was Irving's intimate friend for s5
years and always speaks of him as
Henry" tells us she thinks no one
really knew the famous actor. Henry
Irving from childhood up was lonely
His chief companions in youth were the
Bible and Shakspere. When watching
his aunt's cows in the Cornish fields ne
studied his Hamlet" In this connec-
ton Miss Terry tells a rather amusing
story about the great actor. One day
when SO engaged he looked ZIP and saw
the face of a sweet little lamb gazing
upon him from the top of a bank. The
symbol of the lamb in the Bible had
always attracted him, whose own ma
ture was sweet and gentle, and his heart
went out to the little woolly animal
After some difficulty he climbed up the
bank, slipping frequently in the damp
red earth before he gained the top, and
throwing his arms around the neck of
the lamb, kissed it. The lamb bit him,
and his faith received a tremendous
shock Miss Terry wonders if this early
setback Influenced his after life, making
him, as she believed he was, unable to
wholly trust his friends and never real
ly admitting them to his intimacy. That
Miss Terry's fresh, charming interpreta-
ton of her Shaksperean roles-when
shall we have another Beatrice like
hers?-was largely due to her associa-
ton with Henry Irving there is no
doubt; neither is there doubt that she
in her turn, by her rare appreciation
srafn ipiS oil hnr
superior knowledge on many subjects,
helped him-when he would allow her
to. He did sometimes appeal to her,
and on one occasion asked her If the
public criticism on his manner of walk
ing and his pronunciation of certain
words was warranted. Everyone well
remembers that peculiar dragging walk
of Irving's, his unusual voice and the
strange, unfamiliar sound of some of
his words. Miss Terry had the courage
to tell him that he did drag his leg, and
say "Gud" for Cod and she made
some suggestions with regard to these
undesirable manneriSms for which
Irving thanked her and said he would
think over, afterward telling her SIM
ply that he had adopted her plan with
great comfort to himself. Some one
has said that genius is the faculty for
taking infinite pains. If this is SO,
Henry Irving was certainly very great
genius, for in the preparation of his
plays for presentation the pains he took
were indeed infinite No detail was too
small for him to neglect; he left moth
ing to chance. When about to bring
out a new play he gave himself up for
three months in advance to a study of
his part. His room was filled with
books on the subject, busts and pic
lures of the character were everywhere
about; for three months he soaked him
self in his subject, and did not desist
until he had thoroly Investigated every
crook and Granny of the brain he was
studying and felt himself complete
master of it. Then he began training
his company. He called a rehearsal
and read the play to them, reading his
part exactly as it was spoken on the
night of presentation. AS he read the
