but when it comes to profits they're
not in the 'Ben-Hur' class. Ben
Hur' as play occupies rung on the
dramatic ladder by itself And the
statement goes for Ben Hur' as a
novel, too, for that class.
CAS- a play, 'Ben-Hur' had it's first
audience on the night of November
20, 1899-fourteen years ago. The
novel at that time was twenty years
old, It was published in 1880
During the first two years of it's lit
erary life it was a failure. Then the
book started to sell and sold rapidly
Long before it became play it had
brought to it's author large royalties
and had been translated into the
principal languages of the world.
"Ben-Hur,' the play, has played
two long engagements in London
and twice has toured England, Scot
land and Ireland. Four times it has
played in New York City; twice it
has created box-offlce records in all
the principal Australian cities, and
fourteen times it has toured the
United States from coast to coast.
"In America alone 'Ben-Hur' has
been presented forty-four hundred
and four times, to gross receipts of
Sc, 497,543. The business in Great
Britain and Australasia brings the
total receipts of this extraordinary
play to 1881, 60150."

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP
PENiNes IN FAR OFF
NORTHWEST.
ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the scandInavIans
In America.

The mutual danger with which
Sweden and Norway feel threatened
from the east. has, before anyone
thought possible at the time the old
union was dissolved nine years ago,
drawn both the countries nearer to
each other again. There is, however,
no question of another union. While
the two countries maintain their indie
pendence, however. affairs can be ar
ranged so that in case of need they
can DO Of assistance to each other.
After the dissolution OF the union
the two nations looked at each other
with distrust and each made its own
arrangements-Norway to the west by
means of a guaranty OF her integ-
rtty. which was for the purpose of
safeguarding against a surprise at
tack by Sweden, and Sweden by
means Of an agreement with the
Baltic powers concerning the exist
ing boundaries with its neighbors
on the North sea. During the period
of union defensive arrangements
along the Swedish frontiers had not
been considered necessary until the
conflict between the two countries
became 30 acute that Norway decided
It needed Notifications on the frontiers
to consider itself safe. Sweden set
up its defenses with the thought that
possibly the two nations would be-
como enemies. It was said that in the
event Of rupture between England
and Germany-which might cause q
general European confict-circum-
stances possibly would lead Sweden
and Norway to make different alli-
ances. the consequence of which
would not be in their power to pre-
vent. Now the tension between Eng
land and Germany has relaxed. but
there is danger of break between
Russia and Austria, with consequent
danger to the Scandinavian peninsula.
AS result the bitterness, so acute at
the time the union was dissolved, has
been lessened. A new generation Is
now growing up and the general feel
Ing Is much friendlier.

Democrats on the Defensive.

A gain of Is congressman by the
Republican party will put 1t in control
of the house of representatives and
enable It TO checkmate the enactment
Of laws which It may not approve.
The prospect Of Republican house
Is unquestionably the reason why the
administration Is flashing congress on
the antitrust measures at this time.
II the laws are not passed at this SEES
sion, 1t is likely that they will not be
passed at all. In the form desired by
the administration.
Republican members Of the house
Of representative are eager to begin
the fall campaign. They believe that
the record Of the administration fur
nishes an abundance of material for
reversing the Democratic majority in
the house. They point to the business
depression as affected by the tariff,
coupled with the steady increase In
the cost of living; the failure to settle
the Mexican question: the repeal OF
tolls exemption: the proposal to pay
SIS 200. 900 and apologize to Colombia
for alleged wrongdoing; the disturb
ance to business on account Of threat
ened drastic and unnecessary legisla-
ton; the breakdown of the govern
ment's foreign policy, and numerous
other matters which have aroused
public criticism.
The Democratic administration II
necessarily on the defensive. It can
not win by making promises. because
It is In a position where the perform
ance of obligations. and not the max.
ing OF them, fs in order. Every devia-
iion from the Baltimore platform con-
stitutes a point of weakness. and the
violation of the canal tolls plank alons
will call for the most energetic de.
sense on the part Of the administers
