r NEVER have been able to discover the
i time when the stage was not declining
according to some writers of the period, and
l have come to the conclusion that each
generation, after 1t ceases to be interested in
theatrical exhibitions, comes to the conclu-
sion that the shows are not so good as they
used to be.
What led me into this digression was a
small theatrical journal kept by some en-
thusiast in Philadelphia in 1867. The young
man, and have come to the conclusion that
he was young, for the book contains sew
eral attempts at rather weak verse, began
in January of that year to keep record of
all the plays that were given at the various
Philadelphia theatres, although he did not
attempt to add any comments in the way of
criticism. However, the mere list of plays
and the occasional notes of the stars then
at the height of their careers seemed to me
to be interesting in view of the opinion that
one thing or another has caused plays and
actors to deteriorate.

Of the society watched with keenest
interest the fight that was sure 20 come
over the question of raising the rates
OF insurance, but persons holding rcm-
hership and policies with other fra
ternal insurance societies realized that
the outcome of the contest would de-
termine whether they, too, we're erentu-
ally TO break away from the old low
rate plans and join in a movement
toward the insurance schemes figured
out by insurance actuaries.
In the fight today the head camp Of
hcers stood arrayed against faction
OF the delegates coming chiefly from
the Mississippi valley, headed by z. S.
Smith. of Springfield, Ill. Smith will
be the 'insurgent" candidate for head
consul, the chief office of the head

located.
1t was generally understood that the
rate fight would be largely decided by
the election Of the head camp officers.

there shall be no submission to the pro-
posal for rate increases. the head camp
Is firm. and the insurgents" declare
they will make sure of their position
