for place of honor among this mighty

than fifty years ago.
by reason of the peculiar construction
of American institutions we are forced
to enter into competition with this strong

centuries in advance of us. Handicapped
as we are nevertheless, we are part and

though retarded by inheritance and train

are to very great extent, thrown upon
cur own resources as a race and must
of necessity rely upon our own effort to

THE race must no longer expect others
to carry its burdens. In this strictly COM

county. n. Y. The jury is composed OF
the following: John II. Trimyer, James
B. Fitzgerald, Conrad Johnson, James
B. Martin, Thomas Chauncey and Robert
r. Knox. 1t is expected that the jury
will return a verdict to the effect that
Murphy came to his death as a result of
a knife wound in the throat, inflicted by
Nolen.
If this be the case Nolen will be turned
over TO the authorities of Alexandria
county. and will. it is expected, be given
a preliminary hearing before Justice Isaac
G. Burrel The latter will probably take
place Monday. 1t was decided this morn
ing by Justice Cation to turn Nolen over

The latter, he says, ran after being
cut.
Nolen says that Immediately after the
cutting the men did not go near Murphy.

American theater going public.
Americans are notably moral and
respectable. Why it is that our
popular dramas are so often of the
scandal type? Here is a play
which deals from beginning to end
with the contamination of a ruined
home, shattered friendships, broken
hearts, death, exile and domestic
tragedy. By popularizing it and
making it profitable for its produc-
ers the American public has set a
premium upon all the wretchedness
which it disseminates. Why can we
not force the great actors and act
resses by our disapprobation to pro
duce wholesome plays?
The moral lesson is the real dra-
matte principle, the stage and act
ors but instruments for it's presenta-
ton. If the moral is bad, then the
play is bad, however excellent the
acting. And the moral is bad If the
atmosphere of the play breathes de-.
struction and vice. Dramas like
1.-The World and His Wife" should
give way to dramas like 1.-The Music
Master" plays of hope in place of
plays of despair
