manly characterization. On occasion of his having to protect his sister from the advances of an inebriated admirer, Farnum plays the role of a brother, who engages the man in a struggle in the sisters presence. Dur ing the fight. a revolver shot is heard, the sweetheart drops to the floor dead, and the brother, thinking his sister has fired the shot, gladly assumes the charge of murder and serves a sen tence in prison. His release finds him ready for the mans fight"-to free his name from the stain of crime and to clear the honor of his sister. Be lieving that he can make good in the west, the brother leaves for the "coun- try west of the Mississippi" and it is in this locale that the realistic action forming the closing part of the drama is handled.
 It is a character part calling for much skill. for it is a role that could easily be spoiled by an attempt to overdo it, but Farnum handles the de- lineation to perfection and perfect performance is the result.
 Tomorrow begins the engagement of William Desmond, to offer White washed Walls.

Prisoners at the Arizona state peni- tentiary at Florence live in a sanitary and healthful environment and as a. result show a ready willingness to do any work assigned them and give practically no trouble to the prison authorities, according to an unofficial report from a representative of The Arizona Republican who recently vis- ited the penal institution.
 The visitor expressed surprise at the adequate equipment of the prison hos pital, reporting it equal to any emer- gency with operating rooms, dental parlors and X-ray outfit Because of the excellent living conditions they enjoy, there are no prisoners in the hospital at the present time. All are in good health with the exception of few who are tubercular and isolated from the rest.
 Humane treatment on the part Of the officials is reciprocated by respect full considerati ton from the prisoners Because a strict censorship regulates the nature of reading matter given the prisoners. their minds are not poisoned by radical literature.

Nehemiah The Inspired Leader"
A Strong Moral Leadership is a world
requirement. At this time. 9e0ple
ready to follow such leadership is q
world necessity. The Public Ledger of
Tuesday, April 20, published a most
remarkable letter, and also an editorial
that should make all true Americans
ponder. The writer Of the unsigned
letter says in part: Here in the Unit
ed States we have what we call centra-
lization. But is it? Certainly If it is,
it is a very stupid one. 1t has no
sense of values. What someone has
called the eternal verities, or at any
rate a recognition or appreciation of
them has been nonresident in the Uni
ted States for close fifty years" The
Editor refers to it, and declares:
What the writer means we take it is
that in our fatuous worship of mate
rialism, u fat and complacent pros
perity, we have turned a contempt ous
eye on the twin pillars of national
stability and power from the beginning
of time. Religion and education, re-
construction days, are not expressed in
stone and cement; it is re-made life
and renewed and transformed charac-
tiers.
At the evening service, the subject
will be THE Fatal Barter" a study of
near-sighted men and women, who live
in and for the present. and STAY there.

PLEASANTVlLLE TALENT
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE.

One of the most delightful musical
entertainments that Pleasantville folk
have had the opportunity to hear in
many a day occurred Tuesday evening
last in Hubin's Theatre. The idea was
conceived by Mrs. Victor Jagmetty,
who was untiring in her efforts, es-
pecially in the arranging of an attract
i've program, in which she was excep-
tionally successful and for which she
deserves all praise. Every number
vas enthusiastically received by the
audience which comfortably filled the
large theatre and encores were nee
essary in each instance. All the num-
bers were very difficult, and they were
rendered in a manner that showed the
performers to be artists of rare abili-
ty. So well did each singer and player
do his or her part that we do not feel
competent to report their efforts indi-
vidually. 1t is the opinion of The
Pleasantville Press that our city has
talent of which we should be proud
and which cannot be excelled in the
large cities. The proceeds which were
for the benefit of ST. Marks Church,
netted 5000. The stage was attract
lively decorated with ported plants,
ferns and draperies and presented a
most pleasing appearance. The pro-
