setting to please theatre goers.
Complete new stage and scenic in
vestiture adds only to the atmosphere
of the honest old German musician e
home. where he and his two daughters
exc out scanty livelihood. So many
interesting plots and counter. plots
are introduced. including two love af-
fairs that as the story unfolds, the i'm

brief intermissions, as the musical
numbers given by Mr.. Winninger anG

a change of play on Tuesday.
! As Mr.. Winninger is the author of
the play, the stage production can be
said to have achieved its success
through this author-ac s years of
experience in catering to the amuse-
ment public. for this is not his first
effort along dramatic lines, as he has

dramas. "You can feel over the

interest in homely, clean play with

One or two wholesome. human situa-
tions will almost carry play, but in
this new production of "A German

running simultaneously. with never
conflicting moment with the real plot
of the piece. for both clean comedy

CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
OF FIFTY YEARS AGO.


The Chicago Tribune prints a
column or more on the Christmas of
fifty years ago, eight months after the
breaking out of the Civil war. The
senior editor of the Union remembers
it we'll for he had enlisted seven
months before. There was great
gloom in the hearts of the people of
the north for the die was cast and no
way open to avoid the most deadly
conflict of modern time. OF course
there were currents and counter
currents here in the north, and a
semi-disuniOn sentiment, really born
more of anti-repub lican partIzanship
than of sympathy with the south,
largely permeated the loyal portion of
the country. But when the flag was
fred on at Sumpter, tremendous
tide of patriotic devotion swept over
the people, bearing down every form
of opposition. The south was also
all on fire, Armed secession seemed
to have burned it's way into the very
bone of that people, and the sane and
conservative ones could no more stem
the tide than as if it had been a
cyclone.
The spectacle affords a blazing
refutation to the doctrine of the
radicals nowadays that the people
can never go wrong. The four years
of terrible war that followed, the
billions upon billions of destruct ion
to property in the south. the million
of lives that we're offered on that
bloody altar and all to salty the
ambitions of certain southern radical
statesmen who wanted free field Of
their own, no matter what 1t cost, tells
whether a people, even nine million
strong, can make fearful mistake.
One great big lesson was taught by
the rapidly eliminating events of
that Christm as time of 1861. That
was, that nothing but sorrow and
destruction can result from rushing
into revolution as cure for poIitica
evils. Another thing is taught, and
that was that the evils complained of
we're in large part imaginary, and
at the worst could not come within a
million times of being as great as
those the south brought upon itself
through the war.
Strange, is it not, that when every
one knows that peace is vastly more
blessed in every way than war. yet
ten men who counsel war can put
to fight a hundred men who counsel
peace7 What is it that is in our
blood that SO easily tips the scale in
favor of such disaster
What change hath time wrought.
What different Christmas this. we
have just enjoyed and the Christmas
Of fifty years ago And yet, who
shall say that the fires of disunion, uf
revolution. of class prejudice and
willingness to tear down rather than
build up, do not exist today just as
they did then?
There is only one way to guard
against such an evil Let every
American citizen teach himself and
his children to respect the flag. the
law and all constituted authority.
That and only tnat will keep rs free
from the horrors of internal strife.
No American citizen. no matter
what his grievance, has the right to
say that his government is his enemy.
That was tried once Behold the
lesson and it's bitter answer. Any
man who would teach as the contrary,
is no friend of American capitalism,
American liberty or American
