AWAY FROM THE BASE.

William A. Brady, producer or plays
and promoter of prize fights and top
notcher in both lines, bewails the fact
that actors of today seem to think
that in order to succeed they must get
away from the traditions and usage
that are the base Of the profession.
He points out that thespians, like c1ti-
zens. are getting away from the time
honored and proven laws, the actors
by refraining from playing Shakes
peare and the works on which the stage
rests, and citizens and politicians are
forgetting that there is constitution
and making the latest whim OF the
public the law of the land. Regarding
the DEPRESSION of the actors, Mr.. Brady
says:
don't agree with the popular notion
that Shakespeare spells ruin. Edwin
Booth died rich, and so did Lawrence
Barrett and Salvini. Mansfield would
have died rich if it had not been for
his artistic tastes, which prompted an
extravagant outlay for scenery AND
costumes. Booth and Barrett in their
famous tour together cleaned up. over
$65O,O0O in one season Of about forty
weeks, and Mansfield in the later years
of his life made easily 100000 a year
AS long as the American stage ex
lists Shakespeare is bound to be played
profitably by at least one or two per
sons, man and woman. Sother1
and Mar1owe are now clearing uI
$3.50 900 a season from these classic
plays. In the course Of time some one
will be called upon to take the place
of Sothern and Marlowe and Mantell
and l know of no one at the present
time who is being prepared to do it
You ask the average actor to play
Shakespeare and he looks at you con
temptuously and says, What do
want to play that old stuff for?'
The other day offered a prominent
actor-an old man--who commands
about $50 a week, 5000 week to &c

Judge. the unfavorable opinions they
had heard expressed touching on the
guilt of the defendant were based up
on newspaper accounts or upon neigh

not and would not be changed by the
evidence. And this brings us to the
crux of the whole matter. Our law pro.
vides that if a juror has formed or

such opinion is founded only on news
paper reports or rumor he is not dis
qualified.
The newspa per articles offered in
evidence are absolutely free from un-
fair, inflammatory or prejudiced state
ments, nor did any of the newspapers
indulge in any editorial comment. The
newspapers did nothing more than to
print from time to time somewhat de-
tailed and circumstantial but fair and
impartial accounts of the various oc,
currences.
Every newspaper worthy OF the
name is expected to do this, and 1t
is expected further that these papers

NEWSPAPERS AND JURIEs.

It has been the custom In many
courts to disqualify Jurors from sit
ting on a case about which they have
read in newspapers, but Judge David
H. Harris of the thirty-fourth Missouri
judicial circuit takes different view
of the matter.
In case before him Of woman
charged with the murder of her hus'
band, change of venue was sought
newspaper articles being offered as
evidence to show that they had preju
diced the people of the county so that
they could not with fairness serve as
Jurors. -.....
Judge Harris overruled the applica
ton and IN doing so held that man
who does not read the newspapers
would prove less capable Juror than
the one who does. 1T may be safely
stated as general proposition said
Judge Harris that the time has come

out with Mantell and play such old
mems parts as Polonius, Antonio, and
Kent in King Lear" He replied that
he would rather play modern parts at
$50 a week than Shakespeare at 5000
This attitude of the American actor
cannot understand.
Let the young actor take this tip
from one who has studied Shakes
peare, played it, and for many years
observed it both from an artistic and
a business standpoint: Study Shakes
peare, get an apprenticeship in a
Shakesperean company, go at 1t seri
ously, and play it as often as you can

THE TARIFF COMING INTO
EFFECT


Local dealers are beginning to re-
ceive flambuoyant circulars announc-
ing goods made in England and
made In Germany" and every other
old place, except in our own country,
by American working men and at
American wages. The effect of the
new tariff, we are told, is almost over.
On the contrary, it is not even com
menced to be felt in the industrial
lines. Corn and eggs and butter have
been shipped from China, Argentina
and Siberia, even to Iowa, but in the
lines of manufactured goods we are
just beginning to feel the influence.
One big New York manufacturer OF
clothing for men has just sent out
circulars to the effect that 1t now de
sires to announce that it has estab-
lished In London, England, a manu-
featuring department for the manufac-
ture of English made suits for Ameri-
can wearers' II we imported the cloth
and had them made up by American
workingmen there might be some
sense in English goods, which some
people insist are better than Ameri-
can woolens.
The explanation that this New York
house gives Of this new movement is
rather interesting.
THE new tariff enables us to show
these English made garments at prices
as low as our American made suits, y
and, eventually, we are told they will
be able to undersell American made
goods.
This particular house sets forth that
it is going to have it's goods made In
London because there it can get "the
daring touches of style and make that

Coats which, of course is buncombe,
for they could make coats in the Eng

desired by their customers, even If
they had to import the cutter from

found in the fact that they can hire
workmen In London for one-half the
money they have to pay American
workmen. This is known to every
tailor in the country. And under the
present tariff they can bring them In
without paying much, if any duty on
them. It is the saving that they effect

goods in New York, we have been

WEAVING THE BABY.

preparation for the final weaving at
twelve months. 1t is not good for
either mother or child to nurse the
baby exclusively after the twelfth
month. In fact 1t should be weaned
completely at about this time. or the
mother becomes anemic and the baby
no longer gains in weight, while its
muscles become ffabby.

bottle-fed baby should be having three
bottles day and two meals of soft
food. At sixteen months, the diet
shifts to three daily meals of soft food

no night feelings, and the baby Is
weaned.
The breast fed baby that gains
steadily needs nothing but breast milk
up to the time the scheduled weaving
begins, but the bottle-fed baby should
have from two to eight teaspoonfuls OF
strained orange juice daily, from SIX
months upward. This is because In
the mothers milk there is a certain
acid quality not found in cows milk
which the baby's system requires. The
