FORMOSANS FORCED TO
GIVE UP ENEMIES SKULLS

Several weeks ago, says the South
China Post, ten communities Of the
Nan-Ow aboriginal tribe in the Giran
province Of Formosa proposed to tho
government to submit. Upon this the
government gave them the following
items of conditions under which the
government was disposed to admit
their submission:
/. The aborigines concerned should
hand ove to the government those
skulls which had been cut off the bodies
of the other tribes whom they killed
and are keeping In their houses accord
ing to their habits.
2. Their ARMS and ammunition should
all be surrendered to the government.
The aborigines agreed to the former
condition, but many Of them objected
to the latter, and thereupon they gave
up the idea of submission. Since then
they are again offering resistance
against the government troops, appear

play, "Arrah-na-Pogue," viii appeal to
many, for the irish comedian has no
end OF admirers.
Many regard "Arrah-na-Pogue" as
the most famous play OF the celebrated
Irish playwright. Although it is more
than two-score years OF age. it has
been played In every Englisn-speaking
country on the globe. ana yet il seems
10 be the most popular play in any
Irish actors repertory. Mr.. Boucicault
wrote "Arrah-no-Pogue' for his own
use n starred in 1t most successfully
for many seasons. 1t was presented
here a couple of seasons ago by Mr..
Mack
The keynote OF tho story is the plain
tive appeal of Ireland which every son
Of Erin loves. The piece has three acts
and the time of the action is in the
year 1898. There are eleven scenes.
At the beginning of the play Beamish
McCouL q handsome young rebel, who
has been ia hiding, meets Michael Fee
ney the most deepised member OF the
community, who IS just returning with
q large sum of money from the estates
OF McCoul. which have been confiscated
by the crown. The money has been
collected for rents and the d~esplcable
Michael Feeney Is stopped by McCoul.
the rightful owner.
In the next scene Beamish tells the
pretty little irish girl, his foster-sister
that he is about to leave Ireland and
presents her with some Of the bank
notes which he has r~ightfully taken
from Feeney. Arrah is about to be
married to Shaun the Post, and her
foster-brother therefore presents her
with the money. Soon after this, the
officials begin TO search for the robber
who relieved Michael Feeney of his
money. The latter arrive on the scene
and during a conversation with the
little girl Feeney becomes cognizant of
the fact that she has the banknotes
taken from him. He accuses Arrah of
having stolen the o in her possess
sion. Just as the officers are about to
arrest Arrah. her sweetheart. Shaun
the Post. In order to save the girl,
declares that it was he who held up
Michael Feeney on the o to Larragh.
Shaun 10 arrested and in later scenes
Is convicted of the crime. Notwith-
standing the fact that he is innocent,
he In cast into prison, from which he
escapes and all complications are hap
PLY ended.
Mr.. Mack's role is, of course, Shaun
the Post. Miss Mary Nash has the
role of Arrah. On Wednesday the mat
inee will be at popular prices, with no
reserved seats.
