The TheQterS

Miss Mabel Frost in the title role
of The Girl of the Golden West" Gre
ated by one of the finest actresses on
the American stage, Blanche Bates,
gave the best impersonation in which
she has yet been seen.
The writer has no basis of compari.
son since she has never seen the play
before but that the play itself has
considerable theatric substance is evil
dent through it's local medium of pres
entation.
Nor should criticism of the latter be
made on a basis of the deadly parallel
For Belasco is noted for his stage aes
theticism and the artistic canniness OF
his settings.
Barring this, however, the principals
in this drama gave a convincing and
attractive Interpretation to a play
whose human interest is it's chief ap
peal.
Miss Frost's characterization was
full Of charm but seemingly of less
virility than the conception of the au
thor although her intense femininity-
! femininity,by the way,more like thai
of Jane Austen's heroines than that
! of this day-gave her Interpretation Of
the role a verisimilitude it might other
wise not have possessed. Miss Frost's
presentation was, in it's fashion, a de
licate and finely accentuated bit Of
| theatric finesse.
Mr.. Lewis, whose attractive person
atty lends itself to characters of this
class, made an effective "devil-a-bit'
hero won back to his better instincts
by genuine and pure-hearted love.
Mr.. Wolcott, as Luke Short" the
| Sheriff-even Belasco must have 6
sheriff-gave an interesting exhibition
of histrionics that would have not lost
out in the original production. Mr.
Wolcott is an excellent actor who de
serves better than he gets at the hands
of his ten cent audiences. For no-one
loves a villain. Although the superior
/ ity of his art is seen in that degree
of villiany which calls out anathemas
from his auditors.
The company gives the principals
admirable support and, altogether
"The Girl of the Golden West" by the
Lewis Players is an interesting and
meritorious production.

A LITERARY RIDDLE.
Who Was IL Wrote the Tragedy c!
"Troilus and Cressida?"

Who Was Il Wrote the Tragedy c.
"Troilus and Cressida?"
Andrew Lang has just propounded a
puzzle in circumstantial evidence.
who" he asks, wrote 'Troilus and
Cressida p" You may answer, as you
please, Shakespeare or Bacon. If you
answer Bacon, Andrew Lang comes
back with the query. would Bacon
have said that Aristotle lived before
the Trojan war;" Bacon was too
learned man to make such mistake,
which would be as bad as placing
Abraham Lincoln among the signers
of the Declaration of Independence.
If you answer Shakespeare. Andrew
Lang shoots another query at you:
1.-The author makes Ulysses and
a pretty long and strange passage
from that author. who was Plato,
How could Shakespeare have read
Plato:' For Shakespeare knew no
Greek. and in his day Plato had not
yet been translated into English.
1t is quite conceivable that Shake
speare might imagine that Plato ana
Aristotle lived many centuries before
Homer. but it is inconceivable that the
erudite Bacon should fall into such an
error.
Andrew Lang does not pretend to
solve the riddle. He frankly says, Il
give it up.'-New York World.

the crown of the fruit when fully

RISKY POSTAL SERVICE.
In Russia the Government Opens All
Suspicious Packages.

Our own service of mails is we'll or
ganized. There is little doubt in the
mind of the average person that when
he posts letter it will reach its desti
nation.
But in other lands he might we'll fear
for it's safety. In Russia. for instance
any letter or parcel that is regarded
with suspicion is Immediately opened
and its contents noted. A clever ma,
chine gums 1t up again, so that the re
cipient does not know that it has been
tempered with.
In Lapland the mails are carried in
sledges drawn by RENDERS. In the
wilds of the Caucasus the postman
holds post of danger. He must be
protected against brigands and against
the weather. for he often has TO climb
mountains more than $4,000 feet high.
Asiatic Russia, which is apt to be
marshy. has the buffalo post, and. of
course. the progress made is very
slow. Buffaloes are more powerful
than oxen and they are also used in
Siberia for carving the mail.
Other postmen in foreign lands are
the swimming postman of India and
the skiing letter carrier of the Andes.
For the latter place the Argentine gov
ernment specially imports Norwegians

as careful to guard the interest OF
such men, by recommending that the
rates to the consumers of water
should occupy as prominent part in
your deliberations and recommends
tions as you give to the conservation
of the water company's profits and
dividends. There is no danger of I'M
fairness on the part of the men | rep
resent; they desire to be just and
fair, even to liberality, but to ignore
the many injustices to which atten-
ton has been called in the matter of
valuation, depreciation, etc, all of
which adds to the demands to be met
by these men, shows a suggestiveness
that you are Indifferent when it comes
to the interest of the common people.
I have at different times made ref
erence to the fact that the amount
allowed as depreciation covers per
iod of six years only. Why do you
ignore this possible construction see
ing it makes a difference of approx
mately $204,000.00 which should be
taken from the valuation, but If al
basis of per cent profit, $16,320.00,
which the consumers of water must
pay in excess of what would be charg-
ed if the proper depreciation is de-
Quoted.
Why do you pre-suppose the posi-
bility of the $110,00OOO going con-
Germ" value being capitalized, which
on the same basis of profit, means
another excess charge of $8,800.00 per
year, the two excess charges combin-
ed, equalling at least $1.00 per year for
every man, woman and child in the
city of Richmond. To the man hav-
ing the responsibility of normal fam
lily of five, including himself and wife,
totals $500 per year. Is this amount
worthy of no consideration?
A summary of your recommends
tons means: Accept the plant at its
present valuation of $715,0O000, plus
the cost of the additional main which
is estimated at $14O,00O.OO, making it's
valuation $845,OOO.O0. Let the rates
as they now exist stand and when in
some future time the gross income
exceeds $90,00O.O0, all in excess of
that amount, the city shall receive
one-fourth of such excess.
Such a recommendation is unworthy
of your organization and is not en-
titled to one moments serious con-
sideration.

Celery is best grown from seed plant

hotbed or cold frame about April
The rows should be six inches aparl

keep it moist and at temperature OF
about 6J degrees. When the plants
have reached a height of three inche.

will harden them and get them ready

ring pillow, throwing the ridges in the
same direction. Set the plants six
inches apart on the side of the furrow
nearest the ridge and a little above the
bottom. In cultivating keep the fur
row open and use it for an irrigation
ditch.
AS soon as the plants have a good
hold begin a careful cultivation and
keep it up until digging time. Keep
the ground mellow and destroy every
weed. A small hand cultivator is the
best tool to use the first time in a gar.
den. loosening the ground between
plants with a hand weeder Be care
full that you do not get dirt in the
hearts of the plants. An occasional
spraying-say every two weeks-witb
standard bordeaux mixture will be
found valuable
As soon as the plants have attained
the proper size for use bring the leaves
into an upright position by placing
boards on each side Of the rows These
should slope toward the plants at the
top. Another method is to draw dirt
firmly around the plant and pack it.
This will exclude the Hight from the
heart Of the plant and cause the later
growth to be white or bleached This
process lasts from two to three weeks.
