The exclusion OF Mylius. the libeller
Of King George, as an undesirable i'm
migrant will meet with far more gen.
eral approval than the similar action
against Cipriano Castro. The plea that
his offence was purely political is not
acceptable to reason. His gross charges
against King George were directed
against him not as a sovereign but as
a man. not in his public capacity but
in his private relations. On no con-
vincing ground can they be interpreted
as merely political. The salutary prin-
ciple was long ago adopted that muir
der even Of sovereign Is not to be
condoned as a political offence. Neither
should assassination Of private char
acter be thus overlooked.

TUESDAY NIGHT
REV. J. FRANK NORRIS OF FORT

CESSlTY OF REVIVAL.

"A large audience heard Rev. j.
Frank Norris Of Fort Worth in the
second Of a series of services being
conducted at the Broadway Baptist
church last night, and were regaled
with a talk pungent with pithy cpl
grams, in fact this talk was epigram-
matical throughout and was given
rapt attention by all present.
He stated at the close that it had
been his intention to preach from
a text but so much time was taken
up in discussing the good of a general
revival that not enough remained so
that would be done at future meet
ing. Among other things. he said:
There are lot of people who oh.
ject to a revival, so does the devil,
How many of you people were saved
and brought into the church during
a revlval?' Nearly everybody raised

HIGH SCHOOL OPERETTA.
Miss Ruth Bake's Singing Will be
Feature. Forty in Chorus.

Jack and the Baked Bean Stalk
which will be presented to the Ard
more people Friday night at the Rob-
ison opera house by the Ardmore high
school is said to be the prettiest op-
eretta that has ever been prepared by
Ardmore schools. Forty splendid
voices will be in the choruses, the
operetta is brim full of the classiest
songs of the modern opera. The in
dividual work is very fine. One OF
the leading parts is by Miss Ruth
Blake whose voice has attracted
much attention. This young lady,
who is a product of the city schools,
does not realize the melody and
sweetness of her own voice. Another
leading part is by Tom Frame, who
has demonstrated that he has the
ability to please opera goers.
The High school gives an opera
each year and the dramatic talent
grows from year to year and every
citizen who takes a pride in the city
schools observes with great pleasure
the advanced steps taken year by
year in this important work.
