Boston. June 2.-The appearance of young women

Brooklyn is probably worse off than Manhattan

known thing to see persons who need crutches

be interesting to know if it is legally permissible
to replace pavements with such devices.

the three acts, simple and easily set.
 To the strength and originality of the drama Is probably. due it's success There must be merit to the Berstein story or Arthur Brisbane, the most conspicuous of the younger school of extremists, and William Winter. the dean. of the New York reviewers. would not have been in perfect accord when The Thief" was first presented in New York. When play can arouse tho enthusiastic commendation o1 such diametrically opposed critics as Winter and Brisbane. the piece must possess worth and quality. But Win ter and Brisbane saw tho production by. cast other than that which zap- peared In this city.
 The Thief" te,ls the story of wife who pitlfully steals money to pur- chase dresses and adornments with which to continue charming her hus- band. Asrassed by agony. she con- tesees her guilt to him and pleads that she stole in order to retain his love.

political preferment instead of plac' ing these federal employees under civil service, which, 1t is believed, would do much to increase the value of their work.
 The vetoed measure is a palpable evasion of the civil service system while pretending to comply with 1t. It Is proposed to accept census en- ployes under the non-competitive ex- aminations plan. In other words, an applicant is appointed as matter of political patronage and Is examined alone and free from competition with other applicants. This means that the whole matter will be a farce so far as the civil service principle is con- cerned. It is stated on good authority that the absence of the civil service examinations at the census Of 1900 cost the government q needless ex- pense of fully $2.O00,000. The comins census Is to Do more thorough and complete than the last. with many moro persons employed, and if the old system Is retained the loss cannot fall below that of 1900 and probably will be considerably more.
 "The people of Kansas City retain a very vivid recollection of the census of 1900. After the city had been can vassed by the agents of the govern ment, the compiled reports indicated that 1t had a population of only 163.- 752. Tho result was bitterly disap- pointing to Kansas City .inasmuch as it was believed the showing was ill., correct and belittled the city In the eve of the outside world. For ten years that figure had to stand; no amount of protests could change 1t. It Is very important that the coming cen sus be thorough and just, and the best way to insure this result Is to take the work out of the hande of the po- litical spoilsmen and require 1t to be done by intelligent anl painstaking enumerators. This is what President Roosevelt Is insisting upon. ->..,;..5
 There Is some talk of passing the bill over the Preident's veto. but 1t is doubtful if this can Dc done. and 1t is to be hoped that the attempt will not be made .,.: '',..:' :: .=... .::.;

EXCELLENT PLAY
 IN POOR HANDS

Although presented by an inferior company. The Thief" Henry Bern steins passionate drama, was enjoyed by large audience at the Elks The ater last night. Not because of any exceptionally strong acting, but be cause 1t was the first time the pro- ductien was offered here. "The Thief has had a big run in the East and all the other sections of the country and naturally Pine Bluf1lans, eager for good plays. were anxious to sec 1t. The company here last night was ono of Charles Frohmans and that Is where the keen disappointment was. F'rohman seldom puts an inferior company on the road. With one ex- caption 1t might be said of the entire east that the play Is entirely too much III them to handle properly. One member of the cast was equal to the character assigned him. Richard Gar rick, who assumes the role of Mons. Gordon, and his efforts are cut short with only one scene. Miss Rea Car lysle as Marie Louise C"The Thief') appears to fairly good advantage In the second act, where she passionate ly tells her husband of her great love for him, but even in this she fails to take advantage of an excellent oppor- tunity to display talents. There IS no fault to find with her acting. She i Is just as sweet and amiable as the part requires, but she Is not capable physically of portraying the emotions and passions that is expected of Harie Louise. David Proctor is handsome 1 fellow, with fine stage presence. but 1 his voice Is entirely too weak for the
 part of Richard Voysin." Maurice Drew in no wise fits the character of "Raymond Largades." He is absolute
 ly failure in the part.

\ Parting Curtsy.

As a parting curtsy to the Rev. Mr. Hyphen, who, 1 hope, will soon make his inglorious exit from our other
 wise harmonious little city, If he has, n't done so already, I wish to point
 out few little mistakes which he made in his naive and unsophisticated
 unacquaintance with history in his re-
 ply to Monsignor J. NJ. Lucey. The
 Rev. Mir. Unclassifed holds Monsig- nor Lucey's church responsible for Russia's cruelties to the Jews of that country. Now if he knew as much
 contemporary history as an average high school pupil, he would not have made such blunder; he would have recalled that the Russians are Greek Catholics and not Roman Catholics. Again, the scholarly self-appointed Apostle to the Hebrews permitted him. self to make very rash statement
 when he intimated that the Protest ant peoples have not mistreated the
 Jews. Evidently he is not aware of the fact that the Long Parliament in Cromweu's day, made up of Simon pure Protestants. voted not to permit Jews to re-enter England, though Cromwell himself recommended their admission strongly. Then, too. our Innocent Abroad, perhaps because he
 doesn't read or doesn't understand the newspapers. seems to be utterly and blissfully ignorant of the fact that at this very moment there is all open political party In Germany, con- sisting chiefly of Protestants, which makes attacks on the Jews tho chief burden of It's work, and even sails under the brazen name of Anti-Sem- ,tic. Many. other past. and present sins of Protestant peoples against. the Jews might oe mentioned, but I shall desist. We Jews are willing to for- give them; we only ask them ta let us lone. Let those who: arc without sin cast the: first stone:

FAKE THE CENSUS CORRECTLY.

FAKE THE CENNUS COBK6C1LI.i,
 Pine Biudaans can fully appreciate tho feeling os the average patriotic Kansas City citizen in the disappoint- nent occasionally In looking over the tctals of the last government census there. Pine Blu6 has for years suf- lered from an inaccurate census as far as the population of Pine Blun is concerned. It Is well-known fact that Pine Bluff has been rated among the 10000 and l2OOO towns and cities sver the country for many years and that the official figures given out at Washington were seldom changed. notwithstanding the fact that this city has grown rapidly in the past fifteen CT twenty years. The last city d. pectory, issued by the Polk Directory Company a little more than year ago, eave this city more than 1000 Inhabitants. and 1t is nov generally admitted that tho population of Pine Hun will easily reach S0.0oo.
 The recent action of President Roosevelt in vetoing the census meas are meets with the approval of all who have given the new census some thought. The bill provides for the appointment of census takers by the congressional representatives. It would only result i'll incompetent enumerators being named in many cases where congressman and sena- tors were politically obligated to them.
 In discussing the action of Presi- dent Roosevelt, the Kansas City Jour nal says:
 "In vetoing the census bill passed by congress President Roosevelt is right from the viewpoint of the coun- try's interests. for he is standing out for an efficient and economical service as free as possible from those scandals and gratis that have characterized the general census service in the United States for decades. The President 8 objection to the bill Is that 1t in- wolves the naming of an army of cen- neus takers under the spoils system of
