 He then took up the attitude the national problems of the day. He takes up the labor question scoring the papers for failure to speak with no un- certain voice and declaring labor can not have greater rights under the law than capital. Then he takes up the question of temperance reform, on which he says, Under the law, a brewery is as much entitled to pro lection as a. theological senlfnaryS'
 An income tax, he said. is essentially just if imposed upon the man whose income is $1oO, or $500. as we'll as upon the man whose income is $1.

 Fred" Gebhard's name is known on both sides of the globe. As a gilded youth with $1o0,00e a year, he paid court to Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily" The actress, in the heyday of her beauty had just arrived irony Flu rope where she had captivated the Prince of Wales now King.

ALLIANCE FRANCHISE CLOSES ITS SEASON
Brilliant Performance Given in
 Ball Room of Stratfield

The musical and dramatic soiree of the Alliance F'rancaise was given: last night at the Stratfeld. It was a bril- liant success, perhaps the most bril- liant thing that the Alliance has yet had. The ball room was filled com pletely with a most brilliant audience and the performance was excellent.
 The musical part was given by Mrs. Susan Hawley Davis and Blanche Goode, Mrs. R. E. Wheeler accom-
 Mrs. Davis sang with superb drama tic force and wonderful interpretation the most popular aria from Tschai- kowski's Jeanne d. Arc.''
 She also sang several other numbers and encorea and was very much ap- plauded.
 Blanche Goode's selections were ex- cel1ent. She played the Beethoven Minuet with the same mastery that she did the G1uch Gavotte at the other musicale; and Schumann's Papillons she gave with fine contrasts of delica- cy and brilliance. Two Peasant Dances of her composition were especially well received, and her encore of the Blue Danube waltzes was excellent.
 Following the musicale was the pres entation of Labiche's amusing comedy, given in a small way last year, and was now repeated at the request of many of the members.
 The cast was practically the same as last year; Francois Caboussat, M. N. P. -Bissonnette; Poitrinas, M. E. Le- Pienne-Sequin; Machut, M. Michel Bis Sonnette; Jean, M. Harvey J. SWann; Blanche, Mile. May Topping. Cabousz, sat- the lawyer whose schooling has been more or less neglected to his constant embarrassment when he tries to run for mayor, was well portrayed by M. Bissonnette.
 Poitrinas, the antiquary who sees archaeological value in the old frag- ments of broken dishes, dug up in M. Caboussat's garden, was excellently impersonated by M. Sequin who is a finished actor-rea1ly almost profes- sionaI and whose makeup was espe- cial1y comfcal.
 Machut the veterinary as played by M Michel Bissonnette, was very in- teresting and very good in the scenes in which he pleads with Caboussat for his certificate.
 Miss May Topping was an excellent French daughter and showed great skill in her subtle de1ineation of the character. She was especially good in the little touches
 Jean, as played by MT. Harvey J. Swann was a very divertfng and face- tious young servant and made consid- erable fun for the audience.
 The performance is perhaps the most brilliant thing the Alliance has yet done and is fitting climax for the season.

DECISION rs REVERSED
Famous Gunter- Donahue Case Must be
Tried Again by Circuit Court Here

The famous Donahue- Gunter case
which was recently non-suited in the
circuit court for Kenos6a county must
be tried again as the supreme court
on Tuesday handed down decision
reversing the decision of Judge Belden
by which the case was non suited and
sent it back for new trial. The
suit was the outgrowth of an assault
made on M. G. O'Donnell an attorney
by former Justice of the Peace Ed
ward Donahue. o. Donnell brought
suit for damages and was given a
small verdict. Donahue gave notice
Of an appeal, but failed to get it in
on time and in order to prevent him
self being jailed he placed money to
pay the damages and costs in the
hands of Sheriff Gunter. This was
paid over to O'Donnell, but Donahue
claimed that it was paid without due
legal action and brought suit to re-
cover 1t is probable that the new
trial of the case will be taken up at
the next term of the circuit court.
The action of the supreme court was
a surprise to the attorneys interested
in the case.
