PLAYERS in "ParsifaI."

When "Parsifal' was first produced
by Martin and Emery some four sea-
sons ago, two players who have since
become very widely known were at
the head of the cast. Lawrence Graf
tan was seen as Parsifal, and he has
since gained the widest sort of fame by
his dignified and beautiful imperson-
alton of Justice Prentice in Augustus
Thomas 1.-THE Witching Hour" play
that has been one of the biggest hits
of recent years. The Kundry, in the
first production, was Miss Eva Taylor,
who is, in real life. Mrs. Lawrence
Grattan. Miss Taylor has been re-
markedly successful in stock COM
panies since then, and has also ap-
peared to good advantage in other
productions. Mr.. and Mrs. Grattan are
at the present time filing a most lu
crative engagement in vaudeville to-
gether. Other players of the first sea-
son were Richardson Cotton and Will
lard DaSheil.

argued that there is an earthquake
belt. in which volcanic disturbance
may be expected at any time. Others
contend with equal vigor that there is
liability of seismic disturbances
wherever there are mountains that
nave been thrust up. They point to
the fact that Vesuvius was beaut-
full wooded mountain until the erup-
ton which destroyed the great cities
of ancient southern Italy. But it is a
fact that there appears to be certain
zone where the ajority of these dis
turbances have taken place. There are
isolated cases which have happened
outside this belt, but they are few.

AFTER RACE TRACK GAMBLING.

. In a letter to Ole Hanson, president
of the Anti-Race Track Gambling
league NJ. f. Hay says: Il can see
nothing in your anti-race track gam
bling bill but what / can endorse and
have TO suggestions or changes to Of
fer If the bill passes as you have 1t
drawn, l can see no reason why 1t
does not cover the ground we are all
attempting to cover and l doubt not
but what the bill will pass. You may
rest assured l will do all 1 can to
help the good measure along"
From every corner of the state peo-
pie are writing the league offering
their aid. If a vote was taken to-
morrow on the anti-race track bill, 1t
would carry by at least % to one.
|, A pitiful letter from a woman whose
home had been ruined gives an ex-
ample of this evil. She writes:
Three years ago we came to Seat
tie My husband was an expert
jeweler We had $4,000 saved up, and
with this we purchased a modest
home. He had never gambled in his
life. The men where he worked play
ed the races, and sometimes went out
on Saturday afternoon. His employer
also played them. and my husband
was prevailed upon to attend one Sat
urday. In 80 days he was cheated and
robbed of his home, and today he and
are both working off the chattel
mortgage on our furniture. May the
kpeople who uphold race track gambl-
ling burn in hell, say I. Send me one
of your petitions, that we may both
sign it."

What They SAY

Secretary: There will be Yeoman
meeting Tuesday, February %, 1909, at
K. P. hall. The business session will
be followed by a social session and
dance. All Yeomen and friends invited.
Tickets 81 per couple.
J. S. Knauss: "The law on doors
is as follows:
Section PIT. Doors of public
buildings, construction of. All doors
of ingress and egress in all buildings
used for public assemblages of any
character in this state, including school
houses, churches, =. theaters, public
halls, city halls, court houses, factor
les, hotels and all other public build
ings, wherein numbers of persons are
s employed or are in the habit Of meet
ing together for any purpose, shall be
so constructed as to open and swing
outward, and doorways shall not be
less than four feet in width, with prop
err landings and stairways of at least
equal width.
"Section 2178 Who shall comply
with this article. It shall be the duty
of all persons owning or having charge
of such buildings, including trustees,
boards of directors and boards of edu-
cation, to comply with the provisions Of
the last section within six months after
the same shall take effect; but moth
ing herein shall be construed to require
a change in the width of existing star
ways and doorways, and this article
shall not apply to churches and school
houses not within the limits of any city
of village
"Section 2179 Penalty for failure to
comply. Any person failing to comply
with the provisions of this article, or
who shall build, maintain or permmit
to be used any such building contrary
to the provisions hereof shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor"
1t would seem that the foregoing
statute of the state of North Dakota
would be perfectly clear to any man or
woman who was able to read and TN
derstand the English language. One
party who wrote about school build
ings seemed to be in doubt as to what
was meant by this statute He did not
know whether it, meant inside doors or
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-02-19

merely outside doors. The statute says
very plainly ALL DOORS Of. ingress
or egress.1
If pupils are confined in particular
room there must necessarily be some
door by which they enter or depart
from that room Is that door of in
gress or egress or is it not? Better
find out. The statute seems plain
enough, and to use biblical quotation,
"a wayfaring man, though fl need
not err therein"
1t is barely possible that the law
makers of our state did not know what
they intended to do; and then again,
the supreme court might interpret the
law to mean that ingress meant going
out instead of going in. Can't tell any
thing about that. We are only taking
the statute as it reads. Form your
own conclusion.
