~ davs" Doesn't that sound like the plant of
New York first nighter? But it isn't; it is the
lament of Plato sometime philosopher in Greece, about
400 B. c., when the then school of drama had sub
ordinaed the chorus and made the actors more prom
nent in the development of the play.
The wall of Plato has been borne the winds of ages
down to from Thespis to Eschylus, and on past
Euripides, Menander Roscius, Shakespeare Garrick.
Kean, Forrest, and Edwin Booth; and it will be heard
again by children and childrens children long
: the theater exists
Since the cry of Plato so thoroughly up date in
this twentieth century, let take look backward and
what the great philosopher had to complain of in
those olden times. Also let whether have
improved our drama much should have, con-
sdering the lapse of time and the great advance in
mechanical science.
Some surprises await the reader who has not been
close student of the history of the theater For instance:
Did you know that thousand years ago there
theaters that cost twice much New Thea
ter that there hippodromes that seated ten times
many people our New York Hippodrome; and
that there mechanical effects that considering the
times, far in advance of those of Belasco and Fred
Thompson? Yet these absolute truths.
Thespis credited with having been the creator of the
Drama although Victor Hugo places Job among the
earliest dramatists, and drama in some form has
listed from almost prehistoric ages every country
the globe, including the ancient Peruvians and the
North American Indians
Thespis created the "new school" of acting and drama
succeeded him. Thespis from the rural
districts and, like the great Edmund kean,
who followed twenty-four centuries later. he
became the rage of the capital of his
country. ~
Some dramatic historians deny that Thesps
wrote any of the plays with which he is
credited Isn't this deliciously modern? Not
only do Baconians try to dscredt Shakespeare, but
David Belasco and Eugene Walter assailed as
plagiarists every time they produce play. Verify
the question: "Who it?' is in connection
with the drama
The first theaters the open air, and the ar
rangement of seats in modern payhouses its
origin those ancient al fresco theaters The perform
planned to take place the foot of hill and
seats arranged in tiers above the other
forming to the and slope OF the hillside. There
no stage. The performance took place in what is
now the orchestra circle Our modern New York Hip
podrome this space to enlarge its stage area,
and 50 does the London Hppodrome. Not new these
innovations of the meteorc theaters of the twentieth
century!
The old Greek thcaters had no roofs and although
they seated from twenty thirty thousand people the
acoustics said to have been excellent. Experiments
made in the ruins of of these old theaters have
demonstrated that moderate sounds be heard with
ease from the orchestra TO the remotest seat Do you

actors were very bad, the audience
could demand that they be logged, and
the punishment would be inflicted in

OROzCO LACKS THE NERVE
FAILS To STOP RABAGO
The Besieging of Juarez May Not Be
Attempted---Regular Troops Have
Been Strengthened Re-
turning to People.

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 6.-The
star of the insurrectos leader, Pas
eual Orozco, who was to occupy
the city of Juarez by sunrise yes
terday morning, appears to be on
the wane. His policy of delay has
enabled reinforcements to reach the
city of Juarez and the probabilities
of taking that city are now con-
sidered much more remote than
yesterday. Other reinforcements in
the shape of General Navarro's col
umn, are en- route from Chihuahua
and will reach Juarez tonight or
tomorrow, and it is said here that
the federals will be able to hold
the city, and, that knowing this.
the insurrectos will retire.
There is rumor that the insur-
rectos are near Juarez but this
cannot be verified.
The net result of the battle at
Bauche between Orozco and Ra-
bago was two killed and five
wounded among the insurrectos.
The federal loss cannot be learned,
as they carried their wounded with
them, but it was reported that ITO
had been killed.
With Rabago now at their doors
and his entry into the city assured
within the next hour, unless inter
cepted by Orozco at the very gates
OF the city, the people of Juarez
feel easier. What the result will
be, the next few hours are ex-
pected to determine.
Col. Rabago, with about 400
federal soldiers and Gatling gun
Is expected to reinforce the gov
ernment troops at Juarez tonight

EXPEDITION WITH
RELIEF SUPPLIES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-For the
purpose of sending an expedition
from Seattle, Wash, to China with
relief supplies for the famine suf-
ferers in that country, the Com
mercial club Of Seattle yesterday
asked the war department for the
use of army transports. They were
informed the war department was
without authority to place a trans
port at their disposal, and that it
could be done only by an act of
congress.
The American National Red Cross
society received a request for as
sistance in connection with the ex-
pedition. The society telegraphed
to Seattle asking for specific infor-
nation as to what cooperation
was desired from the Red Cross,
and is awaiting a reply before talk
ing any atcion.

EMBEzzLED
and SUICIDES
IN REMORSE

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The BODY
OF Edward st. John, assistant
treasurer of the Westinghouse EIec-
trio company, was found, fully clad.
In the surf at the foot of West
Fifth street, Coney Island. He was
90 years old and lived in Flatbush
A high officer of the company was
informed late yesterday afternoon
Of the death of st. John. This
man, on the promise that his name
should not be revealed as having
given the information, said:
The news is more shocking to
me than l can tell. 1t is true that
from ar examination of the books.
which began Saturday, we have
learned that st. Johns accounts
were short. We knew that he had
been speculating in Wall street
and made an examination out of
precaution. The examination has
gone far enough now to assure us
that the shortage is less than $5O.-
600. st. John came to our office
ten years ago from the plant in
Pittsburg.

GOES BY BID
FURNISHING
OF SUPPLIES
LOWEST BIDDER WILL PROVIDE
GROCERIES, DRUGS, ETC,
THIS YEAR.

The session of the county COM
missioners which began this morn
ing is one of the most important
Of the year. This by reason of
the fact that at this meeting are
the contracts let for the year for
drugs, groceries, ETC., for the coun-
ty institutions, while the manner
of lighting Tonopah's streets will
be determined as we'll.
Heretofore the furnishing of sup
plies for the various county insti-
tutions mas been passed around
among the various houses involved.
One drug store would have the
job this month, another the next,
and so on through the year. And
SO with the grocery houses.
Now everything is to be let by
bid, which is likely to make the
cost of these supplies come some
what cheaper to the county. I'M
der the old system the county paid
the full market prices for every
thing.

ANOTHER CLASH COMING

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 6.-Mes-

phone from Campo and Tecarte in
dicate that the federals under Gov.
Vega and the insurrectos NAV clash
within few hours. The rebels.

camps six miles east of that place
In one camp are $50 Mexicans.
and in the other 800 Cocopah In
dians. The Mexicans are well nro-
yisioned and well armed and have
plenty of money. This information
was brought to Campo by two run
ners who reached there last night
Inc Tecarte message says that Gov.
vega, with $50 regulars and so
volunteers, is camped tonight at
.fecarte, which is twelve miles west
of Campo, and will march westward
in the morning to meet the insur-
gents. The two forces, according
to these reports, are now only a
few miles apart.
The Fort Rosecrans detachment
under Lieut.. Frank Drake, is camp
ed at Portrero, ten miles west of
Campo.
