The Event Of the Season.

B. F. Craner's Widow McCarty'' is
easily classed among the few attractions
that have earned good money the past
season; when 50 many attractions have
not pfospered. The piece possesses the
attributes that 60 to make up an enter
tainment popular with all classes of pat
rons.
The Widow" is bright, snappy, fast
and picuant; and the music is the kind
that makes the public appreciate and sit
up and take notice. II contains enough
musical numbers for two such entertain
ments.
Ben Craner has added immensely to
his reputation as popular writer.
He has woven a fabric of fun and mel
ody Of sufficient strength to produce
uninterruptedly good business all over
the country. The Widow Mccarthy
has more than any other attraction Of
similar character the fun diversified.
There is the drollery Of Russell Craner,
in his many sided character Of Q 'Hooli-
gan, the Irish alderman, the irresistible
Irritation OF Wayne McPharlan as the
dashing widow, and Frank Christie as
the honest Irishman.
The closing act is laid IN the sands OF
Coney Island, the most famous OF all
summer resorts. The spectacle Of the
bathing girls, the well known board
walk and the bath house on the beach
does one almost as much good as a real
visit to this lively resort iE the good old
summer time. Then to all this refresh
ing scene OF seaside atmosphere and
color are added the clever songs and the
dialogue, and all OF a char
acter and tone to make one forget toll

Gov. Geo. w. P Hunt, Of Arizona,
contributes an article to the Hearst
magazine, for September, on the new
cdiminology, in which the main idea is
that they are endeavoring in Arizona
to develop new conscience in the
treatment of criminals, and that the
physical punishment for crime should
be at least humane. An effort is being
made to reform the prisoner, rather
than simply to punish him. Governor
Hunt saws: "In Arizona we have reach
ed the point now where we are devel-
oping a new conscience in our treat
ment of the criminal. We are trying tt
arrive at general plan that will de-
prive the prisoner of nothing but the
power to do harm and Will surround
him with influences that will make 6
better man of him."
The purpose is 70 revive within the
criminal the spark of honor instead
of trying to crush him absolutely.
We have always believed that it was
wrong to treat criminals inhAnanlJ
and that the purpose Of puAisnmenr
was not simp'-' 70 punish, but SHOULD
be rather to II ,rm, and when the
term of service has expired and the
prisoner is released, that he should be
better man and better citizen.
