Joesph Jederson has just closed a sea- son in New York with the representa- tion of Rip Van Winkle, a part he first relayed in 1859. 35 years ago, and repeat- ed thousands and thousands of times since. If any one in America deserves to be rescued by heroic means from slav- ery, "hnmdrum and monotony,” Joseph Jefiereon is surely a case for relief. But he goes ahead, voluntarily embracing the monotonous role without a cry for help or even a growl gainst fate. The comp nts heard 011 all sides against the “demd horrid grind" of cer- tain occupations are most pathetic. The farm boys go to the factory, the mschenice’ sons to the army and to the ;, winhpnse, the merchants' sons tocol- . legs and to professions, and the sons of W. lawyers and clergyman rush into journalism or art or politics in order to escape the humdrum and monot- ony of ceilings familiar to them. They must have variety,kso they say,never thinking that successful work in any field means doing the some thing over and over and ov,er and unless there be thought and enthusiasm in it it growshorribly monotonous. Joseph Jefferson‘s work has paid well, of course. lie has made a fortune out of “Rip Van Winkle" alone, and he could have well begged off and asked the pub lic out of sympathy and regard for a veteran to patronize something else for variety's sake. The spirit of untold thou- sands in America is unlike that of Jet- ferson. The country boys. the factory boys, the store boys and the boys born tothe gown rush into fields promising variety and excitement without a dollar of reserve for emergencies. Often they jump from the frying pan into the fire— that is, from the humdrum 11nd monotony of work to the humdrum and monotony of penury. a misery from which there is no escape, for it is. after all. the work that galls them and not the nature of it. All work is monotonous unless the werker puts life and soul into it by striv- ing for the highest result in amount and character. This it is which may relieve the tedium for the ditch digger, and this it is which does relieve it for the Joseph Jeflersons. Mouotony 11nd humdrum are the rule and always will he, and the only way toescspe them is not to fly from work, but to think of the Work to the exclusion of evorythingelse. Work is 111nnotonous, but it. purchases life and meat. m‘réation and plenty. Idlencss is equally monotonous. cease" lonely so. and its records are want and decay. There' is no middle ground.

He lays the wires. which in this case are iron rails, in a conduit. The wires are upheld by brackets that are supported on glass pedestals. The trolley wheels pass along the rails and take the electricity from them.

Fifteen red- skins recently went to Kansas City to take the Keeley cure. Excluding Women Spectators. The question has been asked a number of times recently whether there is any law that will permit a judge to send women spectators out of a courtroom while at the same time he permits men to remain. The question has not been an- swered. The Pro Re Natais a club of ladies in Washington that at least have not a little amusement from resolving themselves into a mock congress and dis- cussing und passing or defeating bills prepared in exact imitation of those laid before the real congress. The Pro Re. Nata recently took up this very matter of excluding women from courtroom tri- als in which women were concerned either as accused or accuser. The ladies prepared and passed unani- mously a bill declaring in substance that hereafter in the District of Columbia, in cases where a woman is one of the par- ties, it shall be unlawful to exclude women as silecmtors unless men are also excluded; further. that in cases in which a woman was party to a suit the jury should be made up of at least half wom- en. In cases where a woman alone was on trial the bill of this mock congress made it unlawful for men to be present as spectators. The Pro Re Nata mem- bers were of the opinion that the pres. ence of refined, moral women was al- ways a check and a safeguard at legal trials, and the interests of their own sex demanded that they should be present At least the presence of such was as proper as that of the young military cadets and male college students who througed to the courtroom at Washing- ton receutly and filled to overflowing the seats from which Judge Bradley had excluded the women. is this aspecimeu of what advanced women think they are. thinking about? One of the gigantir tasks of the twcu tieth 1.-entury will be the irrigation of arid lands all over the globe. Agricul- turists will learn not to depend on rain- fall. but to supply water artificially to the roots of plants. Many parts of the United States now considered to be sup- plied with water from the rainfalls will be provided with irrigating canals, and droughts will do no harm. Then will commence the era of great things in ag- riculture and fruit raising. We observe with comern the growing use of that abominable phrase quite 11 little." We think it started from the great city of New York, where the worst English in America is spoken, but we are not sum. At any rate, don’t say it. We haw seen it in a dignified speech. and theetl'oct was gnlwsome. Say "some” or "considerable" or “a Iittie"~anything, in short, except "quite a little." it is meaningless. and it is vulgarism. Steer away from it. Hungary has ochieved a step on the road to progress. The bill legalizing civil marriage has been passed.

Hendrick s army of veterans which isi being formed' In Bridgeport to march to Washington and offer its services to the government to defend its propelty against the Coxeyites, will leave that city next Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock. Norwalk will he reached that evening. The Soldiers’ Home at Norotou will be visited the next morning, and those veterans who get a leave of absence will betsken along. The Home is crowded now, and the management will be will- ing to allow some of the soldiers to take afurlough. None of the inmates have been able to get work this spring, as in former years, which makes the Home Mrs. William Glass " left town this] crowded. Stamford will be reached Wednesday evening. Captain Hendrick will take only about the number of men required to swell his army to fifty at Norwalk. Nomton, Stam- ford and Greenwich. The army. when it reaches Washington, will tender its services to Major Moore. the head of the police department. Mr. Hendrick be- lieves that the old soldiers will be given positions as special policemen after they ; have shown their love for their country's capital by marching many hundred miles to Washington. After offering their services to the chief of police, and whether or not accepted, Captain Hen- drick will ask Congress to do something for the relief of the people, and then see if something cannot be done to bring about a better pension system—one that would do justim to the old soldiers. He is of the opinion that his army will have great weight in Washington. as it will be composed only of veterans who have been; out of work for months as a result of the depression. There is no doubt that the Veterans will receive line . treatment all along the line of march It will indeed be an inspiring sight to see these men. who over three decades ago fought to save the Union, marching; on to Washington willing to defend theI country again. ' Capt. Hendrick is already making ar- rangements for the entertainment of his army. and has received assurances that the veterans of Norwalk and Stamford will give him a hearty welcome.
