LYRIC

Critical reviewers who witnessed the performance Of 'sThe Only Som at theeL.yrie theater, Monday evening, and again last night united in de- claEing the play the best offering of the Calburn Stock players have presented during the present season. Of course the play itself had 9 great deal to do with the success of the opening peEforxnances of the piece, but the acting of the different nnenn- bers of the company was given the rich credit it deserved at the hands Of every critic. Dealing with a sub ject which touches every man and Wornan with a spark of filled affec- ton in their hearts, the play could not fail to have a broad appeal
 Lowell Sherman took the part of the only son, the role in which Wal lace Eddinger made his big hit in New r ork and Sherman like his pre- decessor proved to be a great suc- cess in the part. Miss Violet Bar ney played the part of Sher1nanss mother in the production and John T. Dwyer enacted the role of his fasth- CT. Miss Suzanne Jackson was the young woman in the case. Other members of the cast had parts par ticularly suited to their capabilities
 The play was staged well in every particular and the members Of the cast were much ssIrer of their lines than they were in last weeks pro- duction The play proved to be a fine one in every sense of the word, and should draw record houses throughout the entire week.

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
 EXHIBIT AT PANAMA-PAoIFIC
 INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION.

If the spirit of Morgan, the pirate, should take the seas again and over haul the United States Auxiliary Ship Caesar as it sails through the wa ters which he once infested, that long deceased pirate would behold the most wonderful prize cargo which ever fell into his hands.
 If the boxes containing the exhibit which is consigned to the U. s. Pub lie Health Service were broken open, strange and varied would be the ob- jects found therein; many of them illustrating subjects which were uTl- dreamed of in Morgan's day. There would be a small theatre in which would be shown beautiful paintings the story of typhoid bacillus car rier7 and how she innocent1y spread typhoid ever brought sorrow and heath to many. Other models would show how the same disease is spread
 by flies, oysters, and water, and still
 other models would show the inf1u-
 ence of the improvement of public
 water supplies on the spread of the
 disease. There are mosquitoes in this
 strange cargo; mosquitoes as large as
 eagles, 1ifeIess to be sure, yet showing
 in every detail the life history of this
 disease carrying insect from the egg
 to adult mosquito-hood. There would
 be fleas which would strike terror
 to the heart of the footing pirate;
 fIeas big as dogs; so exhibited as to
 demonstrate the manner in which
 they carry plague from rats to man,
 and speaking of rats, there would be
 the model of a rat1eSs ship in which
 no rodent is permitted to take pas
 sage and in order to further discour- age this ubiquitous enemy of man, the bexhl bit graphically shows the varioI1s
 metf eds which may be employed in [ it's destruction. Poor Morgan would certainly rub his eyes in amazement were he to see the beautiful blown glass models of the germs which pro- duce the, various diseases of man, and were he a scientist of today he would go into raptures over the delicately | tinted glass models showing the lower forms of vegetable life which transmute foul and dangerous sewage | into harmless materials. There is a model showing the money which flows out of Uncle SaIn's pocket every year to pay the bills for wholly pre- yentable diseases; more money than l Morgan took in his famous sacking of I Panama, a sum far greater than the total amount of his Iootings.
 l When this exhibit is installed al San Francisco it will include a model municipal laboratory which will be I engaged in the examination of water 1 furnished by common carriers to pas- l sengers in interstate traffic. There | will be models and charts and draw 1 ings to illustrate the ravages caused | bv yellow fever, smallpox, tubercu- l losis. rabies, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever, and diphtheria and moving pictures will show the va

CT or reason.
 So far we have only been using this instrument, the brain, a re- ceiver of ideas, but some day we will utilize it transmitter well, sending out thoughts direct to others. via mental. telegraphy, no matter what the distance may be between us
 Ideas are but combinations of in cidents which relate to certain condi- tfons either past, present or prospec- tive which are brought to our con sciousness as whole things, therefore, the brain will be able to transmit them wholly instead of in parts which will make the process instan- taneous.
 The practice of telegraphy has not even taken it's first step in the minds of man as yet. The idea is here and is receiving some consideration, but, that is about all. There are, of course, trfcksters who go about giving mystic performances for profit, which they claim to be mind reading. The people should not allow themselves to be folled by these slight of mind l buffoons; however. as there is no such thing mind reading in this day and generation.

 Nothing in the universe is station ary, everything is transitory; there fore, our ideas and methods of today must give way before the changed conditions of tomorrow.
 Speech is merely one of the little stepping stones man has momenfar1ly rested his foot upon during his march forward to real intelligence. It has answered and is still answering it's purpose very well, but it must event. ually- pass out of use with as much certainty as hieroglyphics and other useless practices have gone out of mans life previously.
 Ideas will ultimately be telegraph ed from one mind to another direct instead of being conveyed by the roundabout and primitive method of nasal and gutteraI sounds.
 The new te1egraphic process will eliminate waste of time as complete ideas will be transmitted instantly. Their accuracy will also be true and thus it's advantages over our present arnfbi guous system can be readily un- derstood.
 The brain is a. human telegraphic l instrument into which messages are constantly being poured through the wires of our system. These wires bring to our attention through the five senses of sight, taste, smell. hear ing and feeling all that-we ever know about anything.

TRANSMISSION OF THOUGHT
 DIRECT WILL ULTIMATELY ELIMINATE SPEECH ENTIRELY
eEdttorial by Aired Lawson.1

: =
 The day will come when speech will no longer be the medium through which man will communicate his thoughts. Our present system of in- terchangfng fdeas will gradually pass out of use owing to it's inaccuracy of expression, and s1owness Of execu- tion Economic laws will cause man to save time by the elimination of speech, just as it caused him to save time through the elimination of the stage coach
 Notwithstanding that time in its broadest sense is unlimited still, in the life of man it is limited to a. few years of activity and therefore be- comes his gseatest asset which must be conserved and utilized to the very best advantage. We waste at least fifty per cent, of our time nowadays in explaining, or trying to explain, our ideas one to another through the slow process of speech.
 The grooves of habit and custom which take such a tenacious hold upon our lives cause us to oppose new ideas which have no direct bearing upon our iTnm edfate needs so when we are told that according to eco homie laws, that a few thousand years hence the human race will have reached a point in it's development far in advance of it's present state  that has ever been known before, we
 are likely to regard the forecast a. l absurd.
 That innate opposition of the rnin6 l to peer. into the future is the brake l that retards our attainment of su l preme intelligence.

Which Would You Rather Be-A Dram
atist or Novelist.

In the February American Magazine
Walter Prichard Eaton, dramatic critic
OF the publication, writes an exceeding
ly interesting article entitled stage
Success Foreign VS.. American" in the
course of which he says in part:
"Year after year dramatic critics make
themselves unpleasant by proclaiming
the superiority of foreign made drama,
by exhorting the American dramatist to
cultivate more solidity of thought and
more sense of style And year after
year the American dramatist fails to
respond. Why is it? Is it because the
best minds in this country do not go
into the theater? One OF the most dis
tinguished OF living British dramatists,
who was in New York this past autumn,
said to me one day, If ! were thirty,
with my life to live over again, should
not become a dramatist, but a novelist,
/ should not again undergo the hnmill-
ations and restrictions which our the
alter imposes II that is true of Eng
land how much more forcibly it is true
of the United States, where our play
houses are not conducted by actor-man-
ayers, like Tree and Wyndham and Alex
ander, but by graduate ushersA water
bows and the like Yet the born dramat-
ist will generally struggle up and through
any environment, however hostile. Prob
ably we ourselves are more to blame
than anyone We do not demand solidi-
ty of thought or sense OF style. Truth
to tell the American theater-goer, by
and large. has not yet developed taste"

BEAT THE CHAMPION.
Joe Shugrue Too Much for Freddy Welsh
Last Evening.

New York, Feb. l0.-Joe Shugrue, the
Jersey City lightweight. again proved
too much for Freddy Welsh, worlds
champion of that class, in ten round
bout at Madison Square Garden here
last night.
In their previous meeting here, Welsh
had the better OF it in only two OF the
rounds. but in last nights battle his
best efforts earned him no better than
an even break in two rounds the sixth
and seventh. Shugrue led in all the 9th
ers. The boxers weighed in as agreed
under 1876 pounds at three o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Their ringside, weights
were: Welsh 1861, Shugrue 1876.
Welsh fought faster than in his pre-
yious battle with the Jersey lad, but
Shugrue showed marked improvement in
cleverness. In fact, the Jersey boy al
times outboxed the champion and was
far better in the mix-ups. He met Welsh
coming in with stiff punches to the body
while the Englshmsn frequently sent
over hard lefts 10 the face. Many times
Shugrue surprised the onlookers by
blocking these lefts and caused the cham
pion TO miss as often as he himself did.
The bout started at slower pace than
the recent one. but the men fought al
top speed before the second round was
finished The champion found it neces'
sary TO fight his best TO make a show
ing against the Jersey lads heavy work
Neither showed any marks Of the bat
