Already d protest has gone out from among the theatrical profession against their appearing on the stage. The better element of the profession say it will be reflection upon the womanhood of America to permit Beulah Bnford to be featured before the footlghts Their contention is correct There is nothing, however, to stop her and as usual, the curious American public will flock to the theatcrs to see this mere girl of the underworld Beulah Binford says she will most likely be criticised for going to Broadway so soon after the tragedy that made her notorious, and well may she think so. It is very much to be hoped that the protests of the respectable element in the theatri- cal profession will have the desired effect
 Let the whole horrible story with its nauseating deatils sink into oblioson; teh lessons learned from the history of the whole pitiful tragedy as re- lated by the press all over the cour- try will have better effect without the false glamour of the footlights on the antics of a mental weaklng, and a pitiful girl of the lower world.

Your committee, to whom was re ferred the matter of resolutions upon the death of Mir. John F. Rutherford the president of this company. eX- presses as follows the loss we have sustained
 It is not likely that the community is fully sensible of it's loss Nr Rutherford performed his duties and fulfilled every trust imposed in him in such d modest way as to attract to himself but little notice from the public The many responsibilities that Mir. Rutherford was called upon daily to discharge he did so with a firmness and determination that won for him admiration from the eommer- cial world. The vast number of en- ployees identified with Mr. Ruther- ford's interests. We believe can be truthfully said that all were his friends. and to whom they felt freely to discuss their reNerses and sue NtSSeS dlii io SuNil tiitpib! ttS HiS losS will be hard 10 fill. No more beauti- ful tribute can be paid Mr Ruther- ford than that great and implicit con- fidence his employees reposed in him. He was gentle as little child. and when called upon to decide great questions lie did so, always leaving the best of feeling between himself and those who opposed him. He was Il man of the people and his many acts of charity are known only to himself and those who were closely associat- ed with him. We bow our heads in grief in the loss of our dear friend and associate. To the wife and chil- dren whose hearts are filled with grief in their great loss We extend our deep sympathy and direct that q copy of these resolutions be sent to the family and published in the papers of our city, and a page set apart in our minute book for the insertion of these resolutions.

THE BEATTIE CASE.

The farmer jury that found Henry Clay Beattie Jr, guilty of murder in the first degree for the killing of his wife, Louise Beattie, on the Midloth- ian pike near Richmond, Va, last Ju- ly, was evidently thoroughly convinc- ed of his guilt despite the instructions of Judge Watson, which favored the defendant. There is little doubt of the guilt of Beattie. His manner and cal lousness displayed during the trial and even before the death of his wife, in- dicated that he was none too good than to commit the crime. Beattie's except a moral degenerate could have been guilty of such an act. But, how ever little sympathy there may be for Henry Clay Beattie, his aged gray haired father is due the sympathy ot all the people. It is another case, however, of "petted son" and too much money. Young Beattie loved Beulah Binford and cared little if any thing for his wife and child, He used Paul Beatte as his "errand boy and at the last minute when Paul. though weakling, was tested, he showel better manhood than his wealthy cousin.
 Beulah Binford and Paul Beattie hay egone to New York to appear in tne hmelight as moving picture stars.

 One of the jurors. A. J. Fetterlof, spoke of the manner in which he and his colleagues had handled the case. Prosecutor Wendenberg made a powerful argument, but We did not need it, he said We didn't need the story of Paul Beattie that his cousin had confessed to him.
