acted This is what they heard:
The Moor of Venice approached
his wife with knitted brows.
"Desdemona," he mumblcd, give
me dat handkerchief"
Silence from Desdemona.
Then again Othello:
"Desdemona, says TO yo' to git

But still no reply from the Venet-

Wednesday and Saturday, with the

where the play is now in its second

all street railway presidents are sun
posed to do, he calls in the "boss

Together they make their plans.

He agrees to deliver the council. But
in order to make the election sure,
it is necessary to find an honest can

than the book. Such is the case as
regards "The Man on the Box" the
splendid comedy in which Max Fig
man has associated with him a COM
pany of clever people, the play Is
handsomely staged, the humor is
simply delicious, in fact nothing is
lacking to make Of the Man on the

killer and a mirth provoker of the
first order, Salt Lakers can truth
fully recommend Mr.. Figman, his
company and his play, who were at
the Salt Lake theatre for four per-
formances this week, and could have
filled the house the entire week, had
they been allotted that much time in
Zion. "The Man on the Box" is a
clean-cut comedy-drama which can
not help but leave pleasing impress
sion.
Anna Eva Fay, the mysterious one,
who is usually whole show in her
SELF is only one among many in the
entertaining performers appearing at
the Orpheum this week. While Miss
Fay uses practically the same tricks
she has performed during past ap-
pearances in the city, crowds have
been entertained and mystifed this
week by her performance. The 9TH
er acts are of equal merit, however,
although Of different character. The
Diamonds. minstrels, have very en-
tertaining act, while the comedy
sketch, Those Were Happy Days"
as presented by Howard and North,
is we'll worth while. Zimmerman,
the impersonator, has had the crowd
with him at each performance, and
has created no end of merriment.
The juggling and equilibristic feats
of Valazzi are a strong feature of the
performance. The attendance the
pas, week has been equal to the pre-
vicus one.

FAITH; FLOWERS; INF1DELITY

In a recent issue of the Duncan Ban
ner published at Duncan, Oklahoma,
which has been forwarded by friend
there appeared an article under the
somewhat captious title FLOWERS of
Faith VS.. Infdelity" attributed to
some person by the name Of Austin
Callan, and supposed to have been
previously published in Remarks and
Arrow, whatever that may mean. The
article is beautifully worded but
careful perusal leads to the conclusion
that it strongly resembles a pleasant
dream in which fanciful pictures APP
pear to find upon waking that it was
but Pigment of the mind, a mirage,
mere guess in the dark, and entirely
without substance.
And where are the "fowers Of
faith? Faith hath no flowers. Faith
is allied with clustered walls, the
cross of agony and despair, the dead
and the dying, and it's very form is
made lurid with the glare of hell s
fire. Faith subscribes to a fanciful,
but revengeful, god and it fills the
eyes with tears, the heart with pain,
and the life with gloom IF during
its long career it was ever able to
boast few flowers they were artif-
cial and turned to Dead Sea fruit in
the hands of men and women. Faith
is the prison-house of the mind and
flowers do not belong in a penitentiary.
Faith has been and is yet the charnel
house of nations and individuals in
which are cremated the best thought
of the ages, and flowers do not find
place amid such surroundings.
Interested advocates are ever and
always inclined to lay claim to the
good, the true and the beautiful in
life and assert that it belongs to and
is part of Christianity. The very
devotees of the Christian form of SUI
perstition give the lie to any divine

shows how fagrantly and openly that
law is violated. Young girls and even
female relatives, the latter closely af-
filiated by ties of blood, are unsafe in
face of such an institution and the
Blade is especially grateful to the
friend who has thus interested himself
to the extent of having the translation
made. We have the original print in
Prussan for examination at any time
should it ever be needed for examin-
alton and comparison.
Side by side with this expose comes
a little paper entitled worldwide
Missions" published in New York,
which, commenting upon the use of the
confessional in Mexico, says:
cit is in morals here, as in other
countries where it has long held sway,
but the Holy Roman Catholic and
Apostolic Church is most at fault
If it were really holy and inculcated
holiness and morality Of the people
would indicate it. 1t lifts faith high
above morals; but that faith is spur
iOus which does not lift morals to it's
own plane. Salvation in sin seems to
be the practical idea of the church, not
so much in acts committed against the
moral law as in offenses against the
creed. A morally corrupt priesthood
gives sanction to a morally corrupt
laity. A clergy solemnly committed
to lifelong celibacy gives the lie to it's
vows by its unbridled license A dying
priest told his physician that if he
could choose among the professions
again he would elect to be a priest,
for, said he, eve have all the gold we
need and the pick of the women"
When one considers the fact that
these assaults upon sex morality are
not exclusive to the Catholic priest
hood alone, but that large number
Of protestant ministers are guilty Of
like offenses, we are forced to the con-
clusion that the Christian church, in
Guiding all it's sects and denominations,
is morally rotten and corrupt, and we
must redouble our efforts to deprive
it of power and privilege.

that a popular vein has been struck.

will open new vistas to the progress

THE CONFESSIONAL.

From time almost immemorial the
devotees of superstition and orthodoxy
have maintained system of espionage
upon the conduct of their non-clerical
brethren through the medium of a
confessional and in this manner has
the individual power of the priesthood
been multiplied and strengthened
Political and personal secrets have
been laid bare and in many instances
have the innermOSt recesses of the hui
man heart been explored by these
self-cOnstituted cOnfessors.
Many of our readers will be well
aware of the fact that numerous ex-
poses have been made in the public
prints, but, as rule, these have come
from men and women, who once firm
believers in the virtue of the confess
sional, for some private or personal
reason had renowned the faith and
were engaged in a systematic assault
upon their former associates. We
have escaped nuns and monks, con-
verted priests and priestesses, all tax
ing the public platform, and for spec
ial hire, engaging in making known
their opposition to the confessional
and giving reasons therefor. AS rule
these attacks come from Protestant
sources and small weight have been
given to such authority. Their argu-
ments and presentations lacked that
moral force necessary to serious affect
and as a result their missions proved
failures.
In this issue of the Blade is an arti-
Gle reproduced from the original print
in Prussian, the translation being paid
for by friend Of the Blade and sent
here for publication. This article is
Of an unusual character. 1t does not
emanate from one who has been I'M
frocked or who has abandoned his
particular form Of faith. 1t comes
from a devout Catholic priest still in
the exercise of his ecclesiastical func-
tons and in charge of large church
in Austria. Its apparent cause is from
a strenuous campaign in favor of re-
form in the civil marriage law which
is designed to enable persons once
married and divorced to marry again
and to make such marriage recogni-
Fable by the church authorities. Be-
ing of such character it is vastly
than the common run of such
articles and the startling experiences
it relates are worthy Of the utmost
There is something pathetic, deeply
sentimental and touching in the facts
as there given. 1t offers an unanswer-
able argument against the law of eel
hacY imnosed unon the priesthood and
