THEATRICAL NOTES.

BEN-HUR Again to be Staged at the Auditorium.

Chicago

Conspicuous among the many splendid offerings that will mark the current theatrical season in Chicago will be another production of Gen. Lew. Wallace's stirring: religio-historic romance, "Ben-Hur," which has heretofore been so brilliantly and spectacularly staged in the western metropolis. Two seasons ago when the idea of pre-

seritir!? this play at the big Auditorium was conceived, the Klaw & Erlanger company imported from London the production used at the Drury Lane theatre. This equipment was the most massive and costly, as we'll as the most beautiful, that had ever be-n constructed for the setting- of Gen. Wallace drama, for It marked the advent of its producers in the Kntrllsh metropolis, and as a matter of managerial pride they were anxious that the production should impress, even if the play did not from a dramatic standpoint. It is now on record that not only did "lien-Hur" score aa a drama, but the production eclipsed everything that had theretofore been Been on the Drury Lane stage, which has for more than a hundred years been noted for the greatest spectacles of Great Britain. When this production was being adJusted to the Chicago Auditorium stage, many opportunitiees for betterment and elaboration were discernable, for no stage In the world presents as great opportunity for massive and magnificent stage settings as this temple of amusement. Thereupon Klaw & Krlanger decided to build a production adapted to every opportunity permitted by this vust stage. For several months rast a staff of artisans have been engaged in constructing this wondrous spectacle, which it is claimed will overshadow everything that has gone before, and which is of such colossal proportions that it cannot tie used on any other stage in the world in its entirety. The first unfolding of this new and greater "Den-llur," will take place at the Chicago Auditorium on Monday evening, October 15th, when a limited engagement will be inaugurated. During1 the run no Sunday performances will be given, but matinees are scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday of each week. Novelty seldom if ever accruer from constant repetition of any drama except those of Shakespeare, but this instructive spectacle of dramatic and plctoral beauty seems to contain that virtue.

CARRIERS IN MOROCCO,

Rural Free Delivery Basis of System Remarkable Postmen.

The rural free delivery system in America is the outgrowth of many years' experience, says the Youth's Companion. It comes as a late result In the process of development. In Morocco, on the other hand, it seems to bo the basis of a system yet to be formed; only there is ono respect in which the two methods differ; that of the United States is maintained at an expense to the government, but the Moroccan system is a source of revenue, according to the following account given by the author of Moorish Lotus Leaves: Swinging along at a jogtrot a native courier a barelegged and bareheaded fellow, with a pair of coarse slippers thrur-t into tho hood of his ragged cloak and a wallet on his back approached our party, and, halting, leaned upon his long staff, while he Informed us that the head of Cid Melood's oppressor adorned a gateway In the principal market o" Marakesh. Mail trains and native post offices being nonexistent, these hardy letter carriers represent the whole postal system of Morocco. Superintended by a government commissioner, a corps of couriers, as trustworthy as they are indefatigable, is to be found in every town. Ready at an hour's notice to undertake the longest journey, perhaps through disturbed districts, always over miserable roads, generally sleeping in the open air, the courier has been known to do the double trip from Mogador to Marakesh about 270 miles within five days and a half, the fee, a small portion of which goes to the government, being just $2. This, it should be borne in mind, is the pay of a special courier. On any additional chance letters he may carry the charge is something under two cents.

UNWILLING GIFTS.

How a New Enqland Preacher Beat a Stingy Parishioner. When Elder John Malvern, the wellknown Free Baptist preacher, was a young man, in charge of the parish at Gilmanton, X. H., he was rewarded for his pastoral faithfulness by frequent gifts of farm produce. He once called on a rich but 6tingy parishioner. He praised his crops, and especially one variety of winter apple. As he got into hi? buggy he again repeated his wish that he 'night have "some of those apples." The farmer, wishing to get credit for generosity, said: "If you had a bag I'd fill it." Much to the farmer's surprise, the elder drew from under his cushion a laree bag, which the skinflint filled, with evident lack of enthusiasm. Then, deeming himself safe, 5 added: "You could have more if u had another bag.'" "Certainly. I have another bag." promptly answered the preacher, as he sprang out of the carriage and removed T " old bag which he used under the saddle to prevent the horse from chafing his back. The second bag was loosely filted and the minister drove off, with no additional suggestion of more bags that ;. be filled.

BRUTAL NEGRO LASHED

H Gets Thirty Blows with a Whip, l'reliminary lo a Iong Prison Sentence. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 24. Before the eager gaze of nearly DOG persons Charles Conley. a negro who was a few days ago sentenced to fifty years imprisonment and to receive thirty lashes for committing an atrocious assault and battery upon Mrs. Beatrice Prankish and her daughter, Miss lussie Loitch, two weeks ago, was publicly whipixxl in t lie yard of the Newcastle county workhouse. Conley walked to the whipping post and stood without a tremor as his wrists were fastened into the iron bracelets. Warden Meserve took his position and administered the punishment. The heavy whip with its nine leather throngs fell across the culprit's bare back with a force that raised a large welt. This was repeated thirty times, an assistant warden monotonously keeping audible count. Conley never uttered a sound until the sixteenth stroke, when an agonized "Oh"

was forced from his lips, and was re-

peated until the last blow fell.

7"E must keep our navy abreast of the times must have

it ready AT ANY MOMENT to do its appointed work and do this well. Those who think it can be made ready in a little while and rest satisfied with this

state of preparation assume the gravest responsibility. A week, even a day, in these davs of ocean cables ani wireless telegraphs and long distance telephones and six day liners is worth, for purposes of warfare, a month in the days of our fathers almost a year in those of our grandfathers. If vou wish the navy to be what it should be, the safeguard and warrant of the country's security and honor, you must have a navy prepared for war at a moment's notice, and to have such a navy WE MUST USE AND NOT WASTE THE DAYS OF PEACE to make it thus prepared.

There is no use closing our eyes to the fact that this means spend-

ing money, ana no little money, ltie expenses oi tne navy will grow j as the navy grows, and we cannot have a good thing unless we are j willing to pay for it. Neither can we fix arbitrarily a certain sum ' and say this shall not be exceeded. If we give 90 per cent of what the j navy needs and refuse it the indispensable remaining 10, WE ARE NOT ECONOMICAL, but foolishly wasteful. We throw away money if it does not bring us a return in effective service. ! I BELIEVE, WITH WASHINGTON, THAT, WHILE HUMAN NATURE

AND HUMAN SOCIETY REMAIN WHAT THEY ARE, WAR WILL BE ALWAYS POSSIBLE AND SOMETIMES UNAVOIDABLE AND THAT TO PRESERVE PEACE WE SHOULD BE AND BE KNOWN TO BE EVER READY AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE TO MEET AN APPEAL TO ARMS. Doubtless there are among us those who profess to expect and in part at least have e,vcn persuaded themselves into half expecting the millennium to dawn in our days. These may be very worthy people. Some of them undoubtedly are, but it is hardly worth one's time and breath to discuss such matters with them, for they simply do not eeo things AS THEY ARE. Another class of people would take in peace time no heed for tho

national defense, because, with the very little heed we have given it in the past, we have always managed somehow "to pull through" in our days of stress and trial. Such men are about as sensible as those who will not vaccinate their children because their great-grandparents didn't have the smallpox; as those who will not repair their plumbing because no one in their home has yet had typhoid fever; as those who will not insure their houses .BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN BURNED; as those who will not bond their clerks because no one of those has yet defaulted. To trust to "luck" as a safeguard against a terrible personal calamity, in the face of experience and common sense, is perhaps mere

folly, but when the unheeded peril threatens THE NATION'S SAFETY AND HONOR, the happiness of our people and our usefulness to mankind, this folly reaches the dignity of a crime. Happily for our country, such men are few. The American people know its need of a navy and of such a navy as such a people should have. It is ready to pay what must be paid to get and keep one, and I venture to say emphatically that an enlightened and patriotic public opinion will always cheerfully sustain the legislative branch of our government in making that LIBERAL AND FARSEEING PROVISION for the navy's needs AND GROWTH which he navy expects with confidence.

The man who writes solely for money gets nothing else. Game is not for him. By the law of compensation we get that for which we work or get nothing. If we work for money, and get anything, we get money and only money. The writer whose work endures writes for expression, writes because he cannot help it, writes with no object in view save to express a thought that he cannot suppress. And so it is with every kind of work. The best that is in us will not respond to the call for mere money. If you would succeed you must work because you like to work you must get in some position where your daily work is your very life, and the compensation is a matter of course. If you can find that kind of position, your salary will take care of itself, and in it you cannot fail, however little you may seem to accomplish. Many successful busines men die quickly when they retire. Their life work is so inseparable from their lives that to sever the ties means dissolution and death. That's the secret of their success. Work was life to them. The best literature of the world, the classics of all languages, the things that will endure through all time and will thrill generations yet unborn, brought the smallest compensation in money.

"Shylock Was a Good Man"

By RICHARD MANSFIELD. America's Foremost Actor

KYLOCK was probably presuming him to be an actuality

a good man and an honest merchant. He was all that. until the wrongs suffered by his tribe in Venice and the personal

abuse offered him warped his nature and ENGENDERED

DESIRE FOR REVENGE. He then determined to square

accounts with Antonio if he could.

It becomes his one idea, his object in life, and when Lorenzo steals

his daughter AND AT THE SAME TIME ROBS HIM and he falls, stunned by the magnitude of the disaster, this desire for revenge becomes thereafter a madness. Shylock is practically the only MAN in the crowd. Antonio borrows money from the Jew and despises him whom he has wronged and reviled, but refuses to abide bravely by the terms of his contract. Gratiano is a time server and lickspittle, and Balsamo a fortune hunter who borrows money from his friend to make a brave show when his friend has confessed his poverty. Lorenzo is a thief, or particeps criminis, and JESSICA IS UNSPEAKABLE. SHYLOCK IS SHAKESPEARE'S TYPE AND EMBODIMENT OF REVENGE AND WAS SO INTENDED BY HIM, JUST AS OTHELLO IS HIS

IMES change, and w-e change with them. New exigencies bring new duties. The issues that arise in the life of a great people must be solved in the lisht of their ATTENDANT

CONDITIONS. Slavish obedience to the letter of tradition may involve disregard of its ESSENTIAL SPIRIT. The highest honor we can pay to the memory of Thomas J eff erson is to meet the problems of today, not by trying to discover their analogy to the specific questions HE encountered, but by bathing our souls in the high inspiration of his great GENERAL PRINCIPLES of government and liberty and addressing ourselves as practical men to the solution of practical difficulties. LET US HAVE HIS FAITH IN PEOPLE, HIS SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO THE WELFARE OF THE WHOLE CITIZENSHIP, HIS OPPOSITION TO

CLASS RULE, HIS CONCEPTION OF THE DANGERS OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE AND THE SACREDNESS OF HONESTLY ACQUIRED PRIVATE PROPERTY.
