Delightful Rural Comedy This Week.

"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" the
New England pastorale by Mrs. Kat,
Douglas WIggin and Mss Chariot.
Thompson, will this week made its sec
ond appearance at the Columbia Theater
in Washington City. This delightful
rural comedy-is in its third American
season. I'd the warmth of Its weicomr
will doubtless b. as great as in previou,
years. The play epitomizes the rugged
sterling qualities of the New England
folk. More than that, it has served to
give 10 the stage one of the most fasci-
mating of girlish heroines, and Incident
ally, TO bring into prominence as an
American actress the youthful Edith
Taliaferro. The action begins with Re.
becca's arrival at her maiden auuts farm
to unfold the influence of her sunny ma
ture upon her grim relatives as well as
all the quaint, crisply drawn characters
with whom she comes IN contact. Tin.
play carries Rebecca through gIrhood
and leads her TO the gateway of roman
ces through which she gains vista OF
womanhood. The original cast Of play
ers still surrounds Miss Taiaferro, IN
Guiding Archie Boyd, the cd village
stage drive, Klaw & Erlanger ard
Joseph Brooks have given the play q
magnificent monnting.

YOX POpuli YoX Del.

In communication from Wheeling
in the Baltimore Sun, it is elaine d
that the Constitutional Amendment just
adopted, is unconstitutional. because
Sec. 2, Art. Ia of the Constitution pro-
vides that . an Amendment shall be in
force from its ratification. and the recen'
amendment prohibits the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors on ard
after July Ist. 1914.
The contention looks like the final
gasp OF An expiring cause. When the
Prohibition Amendment was ratified or
the 5'h of this month. 1t became par
OF the organic law OF the State, and will
SO rem ,in until changed by the same
power that created it. A provision Of
State Constitution. unless repuynan,
10 the Federal Constitution, can not b.
set aside by either the Legisa AZURE or the
Courts. All that the Court can do is te
construe it. that Is. say what it means,
the meaning of this Amendment is Sc
obvious, there would seem to be little
room for construction.

Charlie Osenton. when he spoke here
during the recent campaign. told the
psope of Jefferson what the Democrats
of black-ridden Fayette county would
do IN the November election, and they
have done it. Fayette is so black nor
mally that Democracy would not make
rift in the Republican cloud. This
time the Democrats made a coalition
with the best element of the Republican
party. and the result has been victory
for the independent ticket with maj ri
ties ranging from $50 to $500. The

Brewers Sssk New Location.
From the Petersburg Sentinel


Wheeling, ". Va. Nov. o.-The fact
that the West Virginia brewers ale al
ready seeking locations on the Ohio side
of the river. following Tuesday 'selection
in which the Little Mountain state won't
dry by an overwhelming majority, should
ID itself suffice to still any arguments on
the consttutionaIly of the prohibition
amendment. Representatives OF Wheel
ing aud other West Virginia brewers
have been at work since Wednesday
taking options on Belmont county prop
erty. preliminary to moving out of the
state by July /, 1914. Real estate agents
acting for the Schmubach company are
said to have chosen site at Rivefview,
just below West Wheeling. Other OPP
tons are also said to have been taken.
one at Shadyside.
The newly elected Ohio Legislature
is believed to be literally inclined and
repeal or great modification of the
Rose county option law is anticipated
within the next year, as result of which
no trouble is expected in fixing upon To-
cations in Belmont county. 1t is not
likely. however. that any building oper-
atoms will be started by the brewers I'M
til the attitude of the Buckeye legislature
is fully determined.
Amendment Constitutions al.
The question of whether or not the
amendment is constitutional has been
much mooted since Tuesday. owing to
the difference in the wording of the con-
stitution aud the act of the legislature
providing for the am end ment. The
constitution states that an amendment
thereto shall be effective from the date
of its ratification. On the surface the
provisions of the amendment seem con-
Trajectory to this point. as it is therein
stated that the amendment shall not be-
come effective until July I. 1914. over a
year later.
Attorneys, for the most part, however
contend that the point has been settled
beyond all question Of dispute. Attor
uey General Conley. two members OF
the state supreme court. two exmembers
of the same body and other leading
jurists have thorough y investigated and
reviewed the matter and declare it to be
entirely constitutional IN every respect.
They contend that the line of procedure
followed III framing the measure was ex-
tc.ly similar to that by which the inn
portatiou If slaves was abolished under
the constitution of the United States.
that amendment was so worded that II
was some years later before the importa
ton was end=d.
1t is under that prec ID mt that the
Prohibition amendment is held to be
legal and proper. AS the point was
we'll weighed and considered by both
sides at the time the amendment was
submitted to the legislature it is hardly
probable that any attempt will be made
to carry the matter 10 the courts.

pected to sail. To give the impression that
we were in no hurry l returned to the city
and spent the night at the old Stevens
House. on lower Broadway. was then liv
ing in Arlington, New Jersey, which is only
a short ride from New York; but did not
60 home, after Our arrangements were COM
p1eted, nor send any word to my family.
They had become accustomed to having me
disappear suddenly; but they always ex-
pected that would eventually turn up safe.
If they did not know when or where l was
going, there could be no words dropped
that neighbors and detectives might put to-
gether
At four o'clock Sunday morning l went
aboard the Bermuda and proceeded to get
under way. We were not long about it; but
before we were clear of the Narrows three
tugboats, filled with deputy United States
Marshals, customs officers, and newspaper
men, were tearing after us. They came so
close that for a few minutes it looked as if
they intended to board us; but they con-
tented themselves with ranging alongside
and peppering us with questions. My hear
ing was very bad that morning; so l let
them talk to the cook. The only thing
told them was that we did not have General
Garcia nor any of his friends on board. They
hung onto us down through the lower bay
and out past Sandy Hook, without getting
enough information to pay for pound of
the coal they were furiously burning to keep
up with us. l don't know how far they
might have followed us; but when we were
well clear of the Hook kind fortune sent
along binding snowstorm, which soon
chased them back home.
To be continued next Sunday
