NIGHT.

AS an entertainer of unusual skill
an liability, John b. Ratio, inlperson-
ator, has won more than ordinary
favor with the patrons OF the local
lecture coure. This was demonstrate,
ed last evening at the Gale theatre.
Presenting d variety OF sketches,
OF both a humorous and pathetic ma
tyre, he captured the appreciation OF
his audience at the very start CT his
work. His character delineations
we're clever. his methods of treat
ment original and typical.
In the successive roles OF a Ger
man politician, an old-fashioned
farmer, an Irish magistrate. an eXcit.
able Italian. and in two or three
other equally strong p~ortrayals, his
appeals were instantaneous. The sue
cess of each sketch was enhanced by
the degre OF realism impaired by the
makeup changes, in the handling O!
which Mr.. Ratio i san adept.
Mr.. Ratio is successful in inject
in into his art much of the attract
iveness and magnetism of his own
personality. His temperance here
at future date will always be well
come.

TO CURB IMMIGRATION

Gulicy, a veteran missionary who
recently laid before the United

limited to five per cent annually OF
the members Of each race already
naturalized in the United States,
with their American born children.
This rate, he pointed out, would per
nit the entrance OF all who might
come from north Europe and cut
