Of the right kind Of stun who can rise
above. the things which annoy, harass.
ana handicap the weak, and do this work
in spite Of them. Indeed, this Is the test
Of greatness.
AS g. matter OF fact. the greatest
achievements In all time have been &C.
complished by rpen and women who have
been handicapped, annoyed, persecuted,

been great enough to rise above all these
things and to do their work In spite OF
them.

Tobacco Prices.
From the London Financial Times.

The ruling prices for tobacco leaf prac-
tically constitute a record for dearness.
and. Notwithstanding tho temptation
which. they would seem to hold out to
growers to increase their acreage. there
is very little prospect Of expansion Of
production. This IL attributable to the
Increased cost OF production and particu-
larry OF labor. In the United States the
increase in this respect has been very
substantial For several years past cot
ton has been offering superior induce
ments to the grower, with the result that
considerable areas previously devoted TO
tobacco are now planted with cotton.

Because She Loved Him So

Because She Loved Him So will be
presented by the Butterfield Players next
week 1t is a vivacious farce comedy from
the pen Of William Gillette, who adapted
it from the French Of Bison and LIE
Cierque. In making this Gallo farce an
American one Mr.. Gillette retained the
sprighthness Of the original and left out
the French characteristics which might
interfere with it's popularity in another
land.
The story is that Of Oliver and Ger
trude West. newly married and devotedly
fond one Of the other They ought to
be the happiest couple in the world. and
would be if Gertrude did not give way to
fits of unfounded jealousy. Her mother
and father. in an effort to cure the
daughter, simulate a quarrel after thirty
.,..ssful years Of tranquility. The results
are startling. The old folks find they
have set in motion continuous chain of
trouble over which they have no control,
and with this condition OF affairs the
laughs Of the play are rapid. Finally.
with q swift finish. the troubles are
Strengthened out and everything ends
happily.

Belasco.

Blanche Yurka. playing the part of a
butterfly woman OF fashion in THE
Spendthrift" at the Belasco Theater last
night. held the interest of brilliant
audience in every moment Of her COM
prehensive role. In this play, the Sec
ond offering OF the Butterfeld Players,
the promise of their versatility is full
filled, for the style OF Porter Emerson
Brownies drama Is completely different
from that Of the first weeks production
by this company. Not only does Miss
Yurka come forward as an actress capa-

New Cast in ia Boheme. ;

The resources Of the Aborn Grand
Opera Company were further disclosed
last evening, when Anna Frery, soprano,
and Pilade Sinagra, tenor, replaced Miss
kirmes and Salvatore Sciarretti in the
leading roles Of La Boheme.'' Both re-
ceived the enthusiastic Endorsement OF a
large audience. Miss Frery has a voice
of dramatic power especially effective
in the higher register, and her singing
of the role of Mimi, both from a vocal
and dramatic standpoint, was exceedingly
effective. Mr.. Sinagra made decided
impression. His voice is clear, rich and
flexible, and in the aria in the first act
his reception rivaled that given Sciarretti
the evening before. His dramatic ability
added much to the charm Of his role
There was no other change in the cast.
but there was a noticeable Improvement
In the opera, showing the quick correc-
ton of tho little irregularities that are
bound to crop out on first nights.
Kirmes and Sciarretti will sing this
afternoon. at the matinee. and Frery and
Sinagra at the performance tonight.
Tomorrow night La Tosca" will be
sung, with Kirmes and Sciarretti in lead
ing roles, Frery and Sinagra alternating

4 NEW ARGUMENT FOR HOME
RULE.

An important trend Of thought in
world affairs is succinctly set forth
in a recent considered statement made
by Winston Churchill. Mr.. Churchill
began political life by being, like his
brilliant father. the late Lord Ran
dolph Churchill. a Tory: but early
in life he saw the error of his ways.
and went over to the Liberal fold,
where he was received with open
arms. He quickly made his mark
in his new field of activity. and at an
unusually youthful age attained cab
met rank. He has been home secre-
tary in the Asquith administration,
and at present he is first lord of the
admiralty. In accordance with the
practice in Great Britain. he COM
bines legislative and executive func-
tons, for he is Il member of the
house of commons while at the SAM
time holding the admiralty portfolio
and. with it, his position in the cab
met.
The Asquith government is pledged
to introduce his year a bill granting
home rule to Ireland, and one of the
foremost champions of that measure
is Mr.. Churchill. In contributing an
introduction to a pamphlet on the
subject, entitled "Home Rule in a
Nutshell" and written by an Irish
member of parliament, Jeremiah
MacVeagh, Mr.. Churchill reasons out
the question, not from an Irish, but
solely from n British and imperial
standpoint.
One of his main contentious is that
the house Of commons is oyerwhelm-
