AUDITORIUM

There is most peculiar old law
In Holland governing the conduct
of orphans. These children who
become wards of the state are
given every protection and the one
referred to holds that any man who
makes love to an orphan must
marry her or else be hanged, a
pleasing alternative. In "A Child
Of the State" which will be play
ed by the Shirley company next
week. the whole story centers
around this old law. There are two
children of the state in the play.
one Gertrande, a title hunter, and
the other, Carline. a bright and
vivacious little thing. Gertrande
is the leading role in the play
She is woman who is supposed
to be an orphan but in reality is
the child of Louise Won Armsdell
and a villain named Waldberg

padlocks, supplied by anyone who
cares to bring them. In two min
utes he comes forth alive and well.

stated, by jumping into the Ohio

FORAKER GOT It

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. IGNORE
letters attacking the conduct of
Senator Foraker in his connection
with the Standard Oil Co. were
read by w. r. Hearst here last
night in response to Foraker's re.
ply to the first attack.
Some of the letters read are as
follows:
"26 Broadway, New York, Janu-
airy 81, 1902.-My Dear Senator:
Responding to your favor of the
25th 1t gives me pleasure to hand
you herewith certificate of deposit,

The second letter, as read by
Mr.. Hearst, was:
"26 Broadway, New York, Febru-
airy %, 1902.-My Dear Senator:
venture to write you a word re-
garding the bill introduced by Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas known as
s. B. 40. intended to amend the
net to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and
monopoly, etc. introduced by him
December 4.
1T really seems as though this
bill is very unnecessarily severe
and even vicious. Is it not much
better to test the application of
the Sherman act before resorting
to measure of this kind? l hope
you will feel so about 1t, and will
be greatly pleased to have a word
from you on the subject. The bin
Is, | believe, still In committee.
