ton of assorted sympathy on hand, ano

peka man who permitted his wife and
her gentleman friend to chase him OH
his own premises.
Some dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed because Governor Stubs made
a citizen out of Convict Hinton, and an
justice to the Gov. we feel constrained
to publish this satisfactory explanation:
Mr.. Hinton did not, as some mignt
suspect, sell booze; his only orense
was to murder a lady friend.
DISCOVERED, The Old Fashioned
newspaper correspondent who always
found "weltering in his own blood, IS
shipping his stuff out Of Spokane
WASH, via the United Press.
We are now advised that Dean
Templins roast on Governor Stubs
was not authorized by the regents.
This is our idea, however. of a super
fiuouS alibi. Owing to the fact that the
regents are appointed by Governor
Stubs, they have never been under
Templin's squawk.
The New York coroner's jury finds
the 144 dead girls guilty of "contribu-
course out of the reach of the New
York courts, but for their negligence in
failing to provide themselves with
wings so that they might fly out OF
the burning building, they should be
punished, in some manner. How would
it do to Jail their surviving relatives?
They are going to can the postmaster
at Lawrence. The most serious charge
against him seems to be that he Is
Bowersock's son-in-law.
The dispatch from Fort Worth an
ncuncing that the woman who killed
another woman for stealing her hus-
band, had been acquitted on the
grounds of justifiable homicide, was
the first intimation that petit larceny
is considered capital offense in the
Lone Star state.
Oh. for a Southern correspondent who
will, in reporting the regular semi
weekly lynching. say: "Shot him full of
holes instead of "riddled the suspend

FROM OTHER PENS
TOURIST AND CUSTOM HOUSE.

The articles which returning tour
lists may bring into this country free
of duty under Secretary MacVeagh's
new customs ruling, are as follows,
and if the total value belonging to one
tourist exceeds one hundred dollars,
interest will be charged Oh the excess:
Clothing, toilet articles jewelry, per-
sonal ornaments, = cameras, fishing
tackle, golf sticks, musical instruments,
guns steamer russ toys, shatEls,s "a
Uses trunks. The Following are duti-
able: Goods in the piece. presents for
others, household goods, books. pic
lures, tableware, bed linen and all sim
liar articles unless they have been used
by the owner at least year abroad.
Americans who claim to be expatri-
ated must prove that they have aban-
doned their homes in this country.
Heretofore in countless instances the
claim has been a transparent device
to avoid paying duty. Foreigners are
allowed to bring in all articles to be
used for their own comfort or adorn-
ment without limit of value under the
usual regulations.
Undoubtedly much of the contention
which arises at the custom house is
due to ignorance of the rules. Know
ing the rules, and aware as everyone
must be by this time that the rules will
be strictly enforced, few would be rash
enough to place themselves in an atti-
tude sure to bring down upon them
selves the rigor of the law. Secretary
MacVeagh has made the rules so clear
and made it so easy for all who will to
learn them that there Is no excuse Tor
ignorance.-Milwauk Wisconsin.
o.
NAVY NOT A REFORMATORY.
Notwithstanding a number of such
experiences, committing magistrates
and Judges are constantly making the
mistake of assuming that the naval
service is a sort of reformatory and
that it is better to give young men the
option of enlisting in the navy than of
sending them to jail for delinquencies
or minor crimes.
The judges that entertain such ideas
no doubt honestly believe that life in
the navy would have tendency to re-
form youthful delinquents, but they ut
terly fail to. realize that no man can
be enlisted in any of the military ser
vices who is not of good, moral char
acter. 1t is true that recruiting officers
sometimes do not inquire as strictly
into the antecedents of applicants for
enlistment as they might, but when
ever they are informed that the candl-
date is not of good character they
promptly reject him as matter of
course.
without doubt navy discipline has a
tendency to correct youthful exuber-
ance. or even vicious habits, but the
law demands that the country
soldiers and sailors should be respect
able citizens, and no man of question
able moral character can or should be
accepted.-Now Orleans Picayune.

ROTH SHOULD HAVE REDRESS.

Just now Andrew Roth is being held
up as an example of misplaced justice.
Roth served about twenty years in
prison and then was found to be in
nocent. In the first place that is an
argument against capital punishment
but in the second place where does
Roth come in? He has wasted his life
Is there no redress for this? The state
has taken his liberty and his time and
has heaped disgrace upon him. Is not
the state responsible? It seems to us
that the responsibility for false i'm
prisonment ought to be fixed. There
are not many Andrew Roths of course
but why should they be the losers
is an equity side in this.-Lawrence

KANSAS COAAENT
NEW AGE DAwNs

new phase of the bath question is
pelng presented by the Lawrence Jour-
nal World, which has declared for a
bath room for every house.
This new platform of the Lawrence
statesman-ed1tor is worthy of more
than passing notice. 1t is the voice of
new epoch for "bleeding'' Kansas.
Inc time was when taking such a
stand would have meant the Fatal
Mistake for a man in public life and
soclal ostrac1Sm as well.
In the earliest days of the state the
marks of honest toll were removed by
a dip in the creek down in the COW
pasture, and as brave and staIwart
sons as Kansas ever had never knew
other means of reaching the first state
this side of goodness.
Then came the era of the family
wash tub. There are few of us of yot-
ing age who haven't been on intimate
terms in the kitchen with this old
fashioned civilization kclp-meet, as
our turn came on Saturday night.
Poets, statesmen and scholars all took
their turn in splashing water to the
ceiling as they hoped into the old
friend of distant years ami one and
all have barked their shins on it's
sharp rim.
But a new age has dawned and from
within the shadow of Mt. Dread comes
a voice Proclaiming that the porcelain
luxury, but lately the marx of kings
and mlll1onaires. is now a household
necessity and there is none so bold as
to dispute his testimony.
The old order changeth The grass
hopper no longer hops on our fertile
plains The festive cyclone has ceased
to cavort from the muddy Kaw to the
bankless Arkansas. No more do Kan
sas zephyrs play hide and seek in flow
ing whiskers, or lumber wagons haul
the family to the county fair
Kansas has ssuccumbed to the soft
ening influence of luxury, and no
longer can heave bricks at the aris-
tocrat.-Chanute Tribune.

PARK THEATRE
THE LEARNED LADIES"
 AND 'THE THUNDERB

THE LEARNED LADIES'
 AND 'THE THUNDERBOLT''
 The two best examples of the mod ern and classic drama that could pos- sibly be chosen so far as contempor- ary interest and vitality are concern ed are probably "Tfe Learned Ladies" of Moliere and "The Thunderbolt" of Arthur Wing Pinero. These two plays represent the very best product of these two masters of the dramatic craft And it is these two plays which will be seen at the Park thea- tre tomorrow, '"The Learned Ladies" being the offering for night perform ance and "The Thunderbolt' for the matinee performance. The dramas will be offered by the Drama players, an organization formed by the Messrs. Shubert, under the direction of MT. Donald Robertson, which has for it's purpose the presentation Of the best international modern and classic dramas. 1t is made up of some of the very best actors on the English speaking stage. '1The Thunderbolt'' is a wonderfully strong, vital drama. Of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." '"The Learned Ladies' is one of the most justly famous of all Moliere's comedies. It was first produced in 1872 but it is just as charming and delightful, it's wit is as keen, it's sa- tire is as pointed, and it's philosophy is as pungent as though it had been written today. Among the we'll known players who will be seen in these two productions are Herbert Kelcey, Fife Shannon, Hedwig Reicher, Ed ward Emery, Helen Converse, Fred Eric, Eugenie Woodward, Sheldon Lewis. Alice Cobourn, Lionel Belmore, Barbara Hall, Charlotte Granville, A. Hyiton Allen and Donald Robertson.
 Patrons of the Park next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with daily matinees will be treated to an entire- ly new brand Of burlesque rivaling the best Broadway musical comedy. This is the best description of ''The Midnight Maidens" new play entitled "On Their Honeymoon"

 Terms In China
Especial from United Press)

Especial from United Press.)
 .Pekin, Dec. 1-Premier Yuan Shi Kai has granted a three days truce for the purpose of discussing proposed terms of peace with the rebels If, at the end of three days, no definite decision has been reached and there is still a reasonable possibility of a settlement, the time will be extended 15 days. The Manchus are more dis posed to be lenient in their terms since the capture of Purple Hill with in the walls of Ranking by the rebel force.
 General Lii, commander-in-chief of the rebel force, has not yet reported whether he will accept an armistice but there is a general feeling that he will consent to a barley. If he does, the rebel and imperial leaders will meet at Shanghai to talk over the terms of settlement as outlined by Yuan Shi Kai.
 There are persistent reports here that the premier has hopes for the new leadership.
 Yuan, today, announced his willing ness to accept the constitution if the revolutionists would agree. The na- tional assembly, in session, today, ap- proved the Franco-Belgian loan of $30, 100000 and also a contract for a bridge across the Yangtse between Hankow and Wu Chang.

SUES DOCTOR WHO SET LEG. Demitt Says it is So Wobbly He Walks
 as if Heavy Sea Were Running.

Greenwich, Dec. 1-Suit has been brought by Paul Demitt, Captain of John M. Williams yacht Senorita, to recover damages from Dr. Stacy Boyle, a. Greenwich physician, because /, he cannot walk as well as two years ago, when he broke his leg while cut H.rg ice on MT. Williams estate at Afianus. The ice came against his leg with such force that two bones were broken. He was taken to the Green wich general hospital, where Dr. Boyle and another physician set the bones. Demitt remained in the hospital for a month, then became impatient and left, it is asserted, against the advice of the physicians.
 Tn his suit he asks the Superior court to decide what value should be placed on a leg which had done its full duty for forty-f1ve years and is now so wobbly that he walks as if a .heavy sea were running all the time.
