the list of property which will be
sold September 18th. by Revenue
Agent win Husbands, for delinquent

court OF appeals. which has three
times sustained the sales.
The decisions of the court are
plain and unmistakable, says Reve-

MODERN MODE IN ACTING

Ever so often some dramatic
writer or critic. generally a man past
middle life, whose views are retro
spective. will prepare an article tor
his paper in which he deplores the
decline of legitimate acting and the
commercialism of the stage. He will
rant for a column about the evils OF
the star system" and call for a re-
turn OF the "palmy days OF the
drama,'' forgetting that the suit OF
clothes which he wears Is cut in the
latest fashion, his hat of the prevail
ing mode and everything surround
ing him of the current style.
Why does not such a man stop "a
think that the public sets a fashion
in amusement-a fashion which the
actor must live up to or be dropped
by the wayside?
II stands to reason that We have
ltoday on the American stage more
and better acors than We had 90
years ago. More persons are edu-
Gated in this day, the average man
has greater advantages. playt are
more lavishly mounted, the atmos-
phere which surrounds the actor is
more conducive TO successful work
and the profession is recognized as
belonging to the arts. and the preju-
dice against Il fast dying out.
The great actors, whose names
have been handed down from the
last several generations. are not so
many, and our children will be able
to speak to an equal or greater num-
Der in the next generation.

CONFUSION.

Last week was a strenuous one
for the guessing bureaus OF the daily
press at Beverly and oyster Bay and
a collation. OF the various guesses is
entertaining II not enlightening as
70 the real political situation. That
most OF the stun sent out, both by
he regular news gathering assOcia-
lions and the special bureaus Of the
big city dailies were guesses. is
shown by the varying constructions
placed upon Taft's and Roosevelts
inaction. The skill with which the
articles are written becomes ap-
parent, when one realizes that they
really are putting construction on
inaction, and giving 1t the semblance
Of action. For instance the New
York Sun and the New York Times
agree that Roosevelt and Taft have
had a row, aud The Sun speaks OF
Roosevelt's restrain in the matter OF
the New York state convention as
follows:
"But he doen't want to go, be-
cause he does not care to buck the
administration yet, and his appear
ance In Saratoga would mean that
very thing"
The New York Times has 1t that
he may not go to the convention on
the ground that his presence there
might lead TO the belief that he is
willing to indorse the Taft admins
tration."
You may take your choice or leave
them both alone, but the simplest
construction one can put on Roose-
velt's determination not to go 10
the New York state convention Is
that his name was dragged before
the committee without his authority.
and that the insurgent element is
endeeavoring to force Mr.. Rboseyelt
and President Taft TO take a hand
in New York. They will, too, II they
see chance TO carry the state this
fall. Otherwise, they will keep hands
on and let the machine take its
whipping, just as Taft seems de-
termined to do in Ohio. Then the
party will be bawling for them TO
take charge.
