Hunting the Allen Outlaws.

Few persons can be showing better
spirit this week than the sheriffs and
deputies who are tracking the Allen
gang through the Virginia and North
Carolina mountains. Hunting the APP
palachian mountaineer has been called
stalking the biggest of big game. 1t is
always doubtful whether the sportsman
gets his man, or the man gets the sports
man. The difficulties of life in these
Virginia SUBMITS are illustrated in the
experiences of Archdeacon F. w. Neve
of the Blue Ridge He tells OF young
Clergyman who was fired at several
times, and finally warned that a certain
moantaineer had threatened to shoot
him at sight. He went Immediately to
the mans house, and called out, Il
understand you are going to shoot me. /"
The. mountaineer was so taken aback
that he dropped his weapon and engag-
ed in pleasant chat.
The posse which is tracing the Aliens
is armed with something more often
sive than hymn books, and if they find
their men, will meet with rougher re-
ception. In spite of the aloofness of
these hin people. they are scientific
adopts at gun play, said TO excel the
Western frontiersman in quickness. The
latest models of revolvers often find
their way into the highlands two
months after they are first issued from
the factory A government surveyor
gave in Outing a few years ago an &C
count of the craftsmanship of the APP
pallachian mountaineers. A half dol
lar was tipped in the air at distance
of 80 feet The mountaineer shot twice,
pulling the gun so quickly that no one
saw him move. Picking up the coin he
showed the hole clean through the CEN
ter, and another furrowing the milling
on tie edge The first shot must have
detected the coin, and how he hit II
again was a marvel. This is the kind
of thing the Allen gang pursuers are up |
against. These are called bloodless |
times, but our officers of the law must
often take about the risks involved by
going TO war.

Jose Miguel Gomez,

Ha
Havana, Cuba. May sO.-Americans
in Cuba do not believe that President
Gomez can quelI without the aid OF
the United States, the present rebel
lion. Twice before has 1t been neces-
sary for Uncle Sam to intervene, and
the situation now seems to be about
as serious as it ever has been in the
past.
The trouble is that Cubans are not
fit for self-government. They lack
intelligence and self-restraint. A ma
jority of the population seems bent on
holding Office, and this is as true with
the blacks rs with the Spanish eIe-
ment. In fact, one OF the immediate
causes of the present uprising is the
discomfort of the negroes who do not
think they are getting their fair share
of the Offices. To please the blacks in
this respect would mean the speedy
downfall Of the republic.
The propertied and more intelligent
classes in Cuba desire annexation to
the United States. They feel that with
annexation would come to the island
prosperity and peace. They know that
as long as Cuba tries to worry along
with self-government it will enjoy
neither lasting peace nor any large
measure of prosperity.
Annexation must ultimately come. II
is only a matter OF time.

The Theatres
Fargo operahouse.
May sO--The Pink Lady.
June May Robson.
June 7-Mose (local).


A dozen experts had their heads to-
gether in the preparatory arrange
ments of bringing The Pink Lady to
it's plane of excellence before it was
given a public hearing. This accounts
for the careful attention to detail
which makes the piece so distinctive,
but to one man is due the full credit
for it's excellence and many sided in
cidents which go to make up a capti-
waiting entity. This man is A. L. Err
LANCER, the best known man in Ameri-
can theatricals today. Mr.. ErIanger
devoted more personal time and atten-
ton to The Pink Lady than any play
yer sent out under the direction Of
the famous firm of which he is the ac-
tive head. AS an instance of this
care, it might be mentioned that dur-
ing the years run in New York, Mr..
Erlanger personally rehearsed the en-
tire company every Monday morning
for yer forty weeks, and by his force
and enthusiasm was able to keep life
and spur in the performance at all
times. There never was an occasion
when The Pink Lady seemed to be LETT
ting down.
May Robson stands alone among the
pretty women Of the stage, to mask
her features with grease, paint, pow
der and gray wig. She is quite con-
tent to win recognition by her art in
the im-personation Of character stud
les, even to assume ugliness. Al Night
Out offers a greater scope for the de-
velopment Of her ability in depicting
the eccentric old lady. and will be pre-
scented at the Fargo operahouse next
Tuesday evening.
