 Shortly before o'clock Wednesday mornins Westerly had it's third fire and it was the fourth time that the fire alarm had been sounded during the past five days, but it didn't amount to much and was all over in a flash.

He notified his employer, who resides close by and an alarm was sent in by telephone for box AS, which is on the opposite side of the street. Before the members of the companies had reached the scene. the two men had extinguished the flames and the recall was sounded The cause of the fire is unknown. al though it might have been started by a spark from the chimney nearby fall ing on the shfngled roof.

are always new and interesting ways of giving them.
The same cannot be accurately said of any other
writer that ever lived. The illustration of this truth
comes with special force this season. for in the pre-
sentaon of the tragedies and comedies of the great
bard the actors lay particular stress in their an
nouncements upon the novelty of treatment which
they contemplate bestowing upon the familiar works.
Mr.. Sothern and Miss Marlowe believe strongly
in scenic elaboration and detail, and are already in
the field with sumptuous productions of the classic
works, while Miss Angn, following just the opposite
policy will show the value of Gordon Craigs ideas
and will give the plays with the simplest possible en-.
vironment depending upon suggestion. With cum
ningly arranged lights, some curtains and Slight
impressionistic background, Mr.. Craig believes he
conveys to the imagination of the spectator than
with all the wealth of accessories that money could
gather. Mr.. Faversham will show Iago in a new
light and will offer the balcony scene in Romeo and
Juliet without balcony. Mr. Drew is already dis
playing Benedick and Beatrice after an up-to-date
manner without the orotund impressiveness of ira
dtona defamation, and Forbes-Roberson, it is said,
is to throw an unaccustomed illumination upon Shy
lock-
In short something fresh, something out of the
customary channel, something to wonder at and dis
cuss, will be the policy, it appears in the disclosures
of Shakespeare's genius and the poet will still be
the foremost figure dramatically which he has ever
been This should be very comforting, especially to
the pessmists, who can perceive in the course Of
the stage only decadence.

IMMIGRATION AND CRIME.

The arrest and confession of pretended priest
IN New York have developed that the man is appar-
emily a professional criminal of remarkable talent
and versatility. He is a man of education and a
good deal of capacity to be personally attractive.
This man came from Germany, where, it de-
velops, he left criminal record. An associate of
the pseudopriest has also been arrested who, posing
dentist, turns out to have been counterfeiter
and the possessor of a startling criminal record
abroad. =
The cases of these two men deserve attention be-
cause they seem to illumne some aspects of immi-
grafton regulation. Either of them, appearing at
Ellis Island would pass with any possible liter
ary and educational test that the immigration laws
might set up. They would look, unless their ante
cedents could be thoroughly exposed like the very
most desirable character of immigrants.
There has been vast deal of discussion con-
eernng the literacy test for immigrants. Nobody has
claimed it as the only test but many have believed
it a very useful one. However that may be, there
certainly ought to be measures by which this Gov
eminent could insure against the unloading of crimi-
mails upon shores. Such men as Hans Schmidt
and his pal Muret could not gain admission here if
there were strict requirement that immigrants must
bring certificates of character from their home au.
thorites. This certificate should be Of such quality
as to remove uncertainty concerning the antecedens
Of the applicant for admission here. If merely per-
functory, issued by minor magistrate without actual
information, it would of course be worthless If, on
the other hand, the good faith of the foreign govern
ment backed it, if it represented the result of worth
while inquiry into the past career of the emigrant,
then it should be very valuable guarantee to our i'm.
migration authorities.
Just the other day distinguished Russian in:
dulged the contemptuous remark that the United
States had SO long pursued the policy of admitting
the undesirabes of Europe that it was working an
unfortunate effect on the American community. We
shall refrain from taking that observation too seri-
ously, but certainly it deserves attention. The very
fact that men of the stripe of Muret and Schmidt can
get into this country at all is proof that we are not
properly protected against the worst classes of
foreigners.

AND pANcERoal Is LEGISLATION.

Nobody in Washington wants the Washington Gas
Company dissolved and its property placed in the
hands of receiver Yet Congress has specifically
directed that that shall be done.
- Under the mandate of Congress, the District
government has instituted suit to accomplish this
purpose.
Neither the District administration, Congress, the
President, nor the people of this town wanted any
such action taken.
But rider, hitched in haste and without due con-
sideration on an appropriation BILL commanded the
thing to be done, and there is no help for it unless
Congress shall amend its enactment. Doubtless it
will do that in time to prevent any embarrassing
eventualites.
What Congress unquestionably wanted to do was
to pry loose the hold that the Washington Gas Com
pany had on the Georgetown Gas Company, by rea-
son of ownership of securities. 1t meant to order
that this control be dissolved; but it didn't say that
So long as the legislative needs of this city are
to be met by the expedient Of hitching riders upon
appropriation measures while nobody is paying any
real attention, this kind of thing will be constantly
happening. Washington deserves better at the hands
of Congress.

A DESIRABLE AMENDMENT.

Some question having arisen as to whether the
pending currency and banking measure would in any
wise interfere with the universal application of the
gold standard act of 1900 the House has done the
safe and wise thing, by inserting an amendment to
remove uncertainty. The gold standard act binds the
Government to maintain at parity with gold all the
forms of money or legal tender substitutes for
money There can be no two opinions at this date,
shout the necessity of strict adherence to that policy
currency reform that left any possible uncertainty
would be retogression toward the dark ages of in
fiaton, wild-catting and utter chaos in currency.
