Forest Fire Control.

The system of FIRE lookouts through
out the State of Massachusetts, is TN
dergoing a thorough system of testing
this spring. Another tower has been

tional day when no forest fires are seen
He has a chart corresponding to the
towns within the radius of his obser-
walton, and as soon as a fire is dis
covered he telephones to the warden
nearest to the menaced spot.
The greatest record was last week,
when twenty such fires were discov-
cred in single day and notifications
given promptly. Another new station
is to be established at Beckett, and the
State hopes to save thousands of acres
of forest lands, to reduce the material
damage to a minimum, and to prevent
conhagrations which yearly sacrifice
many lives.

II was disappointed in neither.
Hiss Heming Is no stranger TO WASH

peared for the first time last evening.
previously OF seeing her speedily fell
captive TO her personality. her charm.
and her delightful acting.
Excellently fitted by nature to play
inKenue roles, Miss Heming found in the
part Of Mici. the fourth Of the seven
sisters. a character which might have
been written to order. 30 well does II
suit her. and none OF the lines last night
lost a particle of their appeal or charm
through Miss Heming's acting. Com
PARSONS are proverbially unpleasant but
one cannot but compare this Mici with
Laurette Taylor, who played the same
role at the same theater and Miss Hem
ing loses nothing by the comparison.
Indeed, granting the equality with Miss
Taylor-especiaIly when the new ingenus
gets better acquainted with her lines and
her company-Miss Heming Is the better
actress, particularly from her knees
down. And the leading role in Seven
Sisters" while II was not OF the musical
variety. demands charm OF the purely
physical order In the first act In the
others the less material appeals make
themselves felt-but in neither is Miss
Heming found wanting.
Opposite the new ingenue in the role
OF Count FerI Horkoy-as you might sus-
pect, the play is translated from the
Hungarian and no attempt is made to
change its European atmosphere - is

and red trousers, a real sword and a

The remainder Of the Gyurkovics-pro-

An Example to Be Followed.

The, tendency to let off murderers or
the plea advanced in vain for Rev. C.
V. T. Richeson needed to be checked
by striking instance like the refusal
of Gov. Foss to use executive clemency
in spite of the faint of insanity discov-
cred by the aienists of the State OF
Massachusetts. The Governor main
tains that the murder of Avis Linnell
was not committed during one of the
condemned mans periodical attacks OF
delirium.
We think that generally this act OF
Gov. Foss will be approved, inasmuch
as this executive heretofore has shown
much leniency toward criminals, dem
onstrating that he is not hard-hearted,
which no one who happens to know
that genial man, with almost a boys
frolicsome good heart, would have be-
lieved anyway.
Another thing. The persistent and
extremely influential efforts to get Har-
~ Thaw out OF Matteawan will not
be helped by the example set in the
case of Richeson.

Teddy and Bryan COmparison.

There was a time when the great
business interests of the country fear

of his 10 to I free silver coinage the
DRY, the main ground of objection to
him was his attacks upon the courts
("government by ihjunction"). To-day
Roosevelt has gone so much further
against our Judicial system, not to speak
of his other extreme notions, that the
mild protest of Mr. Bryan against gov
eminent by injunction now seems rather
tame. But this very change in estimat-

whom he openly charges with stealing

We hardly believe the people are
ready 70 accept either the Roosevelt or
Bryan type, but if the Republican vot-
ers are confronted by the necessity Of
selecting a President without reference
to party interests, they might be ex-
cussble If they preferred Bryan to

THE BELASCO.

At the Belasco last evening the But
terneld Players appeared in George
AIDES laughable comedy, The County
Chairman" a comedy redolent Of the
political humor for which its author is
so eminent; and while they did not
give a Broadway presentation, It was
sufficiently merttorious to please an au-
dience which filed the house to about
three-fourths Of its capacity.
The task OF picking pieces for sum-
mer stock productions is not an easy
one, and Director Butterfeld has been
successful above the average this sea-
son; but II there is any criticism to
be passed upon last nights presenta-
ton OF The County Chairman IL Is
that the play is not one that lends itself
easily to stock. Nearly every part is a
character study, and to expect any
artist to do in a week what Il takes the
very best many weeks to create is ask
ing almost too much. Yet, in spite of
this, last nights performance furnished
capital entertainment and the audience
was well satisfied.
Certainly word OF praise is due Wal
ter Wilson for the manner in which he
played the part Of Jim Heckler, the
chairman. It Is one OF those quaint
parts exactly fitted to the man for
whom II was originally written, and
NJ Wilson did better with II than
might have been expected. II is safe to
say that In his hands the part will grow
better all the week Mr.. Butterheld as
the youthful candidate for the ONCE of
prosecuting attorney. looked the part

There are some exceedingly strong
dramatic scenes In The County Chair
man. as well as some very funny ones
and these were really done better than
the more humorous. Not every actor is
a comedian, no matter how versatile,
and that Is why the humor in some In
stances last evening depended a great
deal more upon the makeup and the
lines than in the way the parts were
played. OF course Uncle Eek is always
bound to get laugh, and in that char
acter Holland Hudson scored quite a hit.
Jupiter Pettaway. with his big voice,
as played by Frederick Forester, was
always funny, and Charles Lane in the
blackface part OF Sassafras Livingston,
while not Willis Sweatnan, managed
to score a good many laughs.
The most enjoyable bit OF work among
the ladies Of the company was done by
the part has more in II that interests,
although Anna Parks Warren as Mrs.
Jefferson Briscoe always made herself
felt when she appeared.
It is not fair, however. to 20 into de-
tails too closely In a production that is
put on with only weeks rehearsal, and
50, as was said In the beginning, II is
sufficient that the audience was well
pleased and that the production was of
suficient merit to warrant good weeks
business by those who enjoy the George
AIDE style Of comedy.
