A Strict Dramatic Censor.

Vienna once possessed the strictest
dramatic censor ever known in the
person Of Franz Hoegelin. who held
that post in the Austrian capital at
the beginning of the last century.
Hoegelin published a manual for the
guidance Of censors. "a pair Of lovers
should never be allowed to appear Oh
the stage alone They must always
be accompanied by third person of
mature years." Marriages out Of ones
class were also strictly forbidden by
Hoegelin on the stage. and he quotes
an instance of play which he re-
fused to pass because the author made
the hero, Count Valdemar. marry a
gardeners daughter. "Such misalli-
ances have unfortunately been known
to occur in real life, but that is no
reason why they should be allowed on
the stage" he said.

Baseball Series End

Douglas and Juneau baseball fans have enjoyed an exceptionally long sea- son more games than usual having been played this summer The series with Juneau came to a close last Sunday, when Juneau won the fifth game by score of Il to 6.
 The game played at Douglas last Wednesday night, the fourth of the series, was won by Douglas, score to three. It was the finest exhibition of the great American game ever shown in Douglas. There were few errors and both teams fought hard to win.
 Sundays game was different. The Juneau stickers pounded the ball all over the lot after the first two innings. Chambers first went in the box for the locals, but retired after the fifth inning with a sore shoulder. Owens then at tempted to hold lem down, and was uu- successful, but finally Breakiron took up the task and proved too much for them. But it was too late; the game was already lost as far as Douglas was concerned.
 Sunday was one of the most beautiful of Alaska days, when the sun shone bright and clear from cloudless sky. Great crowds of Douglas people went over to the Juneau game and the town was almost deserted.
Douglas Island news., 1911-08-09

When the people of town are not united you will find that very little for the general good is ever accomplished. What is absolutely impossible for one man, or two or three men for that mat ter, to do, is an easy task for all, when they unite. Now there are many things in which the folks of Douglas Island are a unit. They have stood together on many occasions and have never known failure or defeat. But in some things they act only by fits and starts, and do but little. In some things we lead, but in others we are far behind the procession. For many years Doug las got along some way without a cem. etery. Finally a united and determined movement secured a beautiful site overlooking the waters of Gastineau channel As the years went by the soil of that sacred spot felt the tear from first one and then another until now there are few who have not stood at the open grave and said a last fare we'll to one they loved. Now all that remains for us to do is to make that last resting place of our loved ones a beautiful place. It is all we can do but that much is our solemn duty. To- stead, the cemetery looks place for lOrn, and those who have attempted some improvements are defeated in their efforts by the COWS which tramp at will over the mounds of earth. There is no confidence to be put in men, they have already failed, but if the good women of the Island will take the mat ter in hand they will not fail. Let them organize for the purpose of beautifying the cemetery, of fencing it and build ing an artistic gateway at the entrance, at the same time demanding that all loose stock shall be penned up. They can depend on the good will and help of all good citizens.
