The editor of Tiik Lake Siiobe News Is in receipt of a reprint of a speech made before the United States senate by Hon. J. D. Works of California, In which is set forth and commented upon to the length of some twenty- eight pages of finely printed matter, the Increasing tendency of the news- papers of the land to fill their pages with sensational stories, crime, scan- dal, immorality, all played up in an :, ^exaggerated fashion to catch and hold the public interest. That the Honorable Mr. Wobks has some foundation for bis complaint, which he takes pains to explain is not directed at any Individual, but is ,' meant to assail a custom which has fefefel mromn nn of oublishlne objectionable ||f3<; matter, a casual observance of the papers read by persons In the trains and street cars will show. The sensa- tional paper always predominates in any promiscuous group, a fact that appears to support the claim of the ^publishers of such paper* that they are only giving the people what the people want. Jijkft Interesting feature of the other- wise somewhat tedious document which the gentleman from California kail evidently complied with much pains, is a comparative table of col- umns of reading matter bearing on various subjects printed In four of New York's largest dailies in 1881 sad 1893. It is Informing to see that from 200 columns of religious matter in 1881, the Tribune dropped to none at all in 1893, while in gossip the if@ Bach of the four papers cited showed ||»l..'•.. similar development, which fact Ipl; seems to point to a demand for the ||T gossip and a lack of interest in the WM'- religious news, a condition which the newspaper men were endeavoring to f||::.'iBeei Iff; Like Senator Wobks, we are not di- p| recting our remarks to any individual ||| tMtt to a custom that has grown up Pi among people to read and to demand ||! a certain amount of sensationalism in &-: tieir newspaper reading which taste J&- there will always, we fear, be found p;^. papers to satisfy. wSl- - * * m ||||.'.

J a man all but dying In the Bnglewood fekospltal, without haaiUtion Mr. Wans TWO POINTS OF VIEW. Commenting on a special notice which appeared recently in a relig- ious magazine to the effect that the charge of four churches which consti- tute the Fort Wayne, Indiana, circuit is awaiting "a single young man, well equipped and furnishing good refer- ences," with the munificent salary of $600, possibly $700, the current Issue of Collier's has this to say: "This may have some bearing on the fact that fathers these days are raising their eldest sons for Wall street rather than for the church, and that many choose the easier course be- tween staying home to read the Sun- day newspaper and listening to a twelve-dollar-a-week sermon." The fact that Garrett Biblical Insti- tute is about to graduate the largest class In the history of that institu- tion seems to discredit somewhat the assertion of the magazine quoted that the culture of young ministers of the gospel Is in the process of being dis- continued and suggests that possibly the financial consideration is not the only factor In deciding a young man to dedicate himself to a life of service to humanity through the ministry. m * m DO WE DESECRATE THE FLAGf Is there such pronounced disrespect for the flag common among Ameri- cans as to warrant the members of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution in passing resolutions condemning the common desecration of the stars and stripes? Or have the Sons of the Revolution inherited the fighting propensities of their forefathers, and, lacking a legit- imate exercise for their militant patriotism, forced an Issue in the In- terests of the national emblem? We believe that the American citi- zen is to be relied upon to protect the fiag of bis nation from insult or degredation of any sort; that he looks upon the stars and stripes as the symbol of the privileges which he, as a citizen of the republic, enjoys; and that the possible lack of enthusiasm displayed on ordinary occasions for the. flag is due entirely to the unex- cltable and phlegmatic disposition of our people and in no wise shows in- difference or Irreverence for the flag. « m m HIDE AND SEEK. If the suspicions entertained by Thomas Appletow, assessor of Lake county, be founded upon fact and prove upon Investigation to be true, there is an uncomfortable time In store for some of the wealthy resi- dents of Lake Forest. Mr. Appleâ„¢>• has begun to doubt the truth of statements made to him by various citizens who have taken advantage of the possession 01 two post offlce addresses to evade their taxes, and has taken steps toward verifying their assertions by compar- Ison of his tax lists with those' of the assessor In Chicago. Should the co-operation of the two officials result as it seems probable tbat they will, m disclosures of tax- dodglng, there will doubtless be aA in- teresting season in the North Shore town. * * * WE CONGRATULATE WILMETTK.

Admission ::<a^*s^f||P 10c f^ BSssasJ I BOOKIN * KBANE, ttsnafer* Joseph Jefferson, in bis contribu- tion to a splendid work on the drama, writes that the frigid reception which greeted the first actors who crossed the sea to interpret the drama to the new world was due to the conditions of the stage in England at that time. Even ShakespeaTe had been banished from the stage, being considered too tame to suit the tastes of a lewd pub- lic and licentious court. Can it be wondered that our Puritan forefathers exhibited a decidedly hostile attitude when actors from England first landed on our shores? However, the drama was duly Inaugurated in America, al- though the precise date is in question, and to counteract the hostility of the Puritans, the Virginia colony received the actors with great cordiality. The demand for entertainment fur- nished by the stage increased as America progressed, and the violent prejudice against theatricals declined, and American actors gradually sprang up to the surprise of their brother pro- fessionals from the old world. A well-known theatrical family in the early history of the Middle West fitted up a large boat as a theater and floated It down the Mississippi river, | stopping at the different towns along the banks and giving excellent dra- matic performances. Thus was the drama literally launched in our midst. This enterprise was a great success and the theater boat was always wel- come. The hardships and inconveniences of the old professionals may be imag- ined If we look at the trials which beset them traveling in the West, of- ten in open wagons, acting In the dining rooms of hotels with nd back- ground or scenery to relieve the dra- matic picture. Even the few theaters were not only badly lighted, but in- differently heated *and during cold weather a few stoves were the only comfort for both the actor and the audience. ' As to the public, Jefferson writes, "Tell the public that a. play is vulgar, not fit to be seen, and it will rush to witness it. Tell this same public that a play Is refined, beautiful and educa- tional, and the audience will be equally anxious to see it. The public fj likes a play not because It is moral or immoral, but because it is Interest- ing and well done, but ths stage should have a high mission, and while it should always entertain, It should never degrade." Harmony is the most important ele- ment In the work of art. Late in the sixteenth century a few Florentine amateurs set them- selves to the task of reconstructing the Athenian drama. The result of their labors was a failure, but un- known to themselves they produced the germ of that art-form which, as years passed on, was destined to reign supreme in the affections of the peo- ple. The foundations of the new art- form rested upon the theory that the drama of the Greeks was thoroughly declaimed to a musical accompani- ment. Thus we have the beginning of the dramas and opera combined, Opera did UjSt take long to cross the Alps, and early in the seventeenth century found a warm welcome at the courts of southern Germany. The story writer has been the great' cat contributor to the world's enter- tainment, but the «ong writer has added most to the world's pleasure, and both combine In elevating and re- fining all peoples, and hence all nations. The supreme type of music is the opera, because it represents the union of story and song, and the opera is quite as dependent upon the drama as upon music, which the lovers of drama and music are realizing with the passing of time. NORTH SHORE MEN HEIRS OF PIRIE ESTATE Gordon L. Pirie of Evanjton is one of the heirs of the late John T. Plrie, one of the founders or the firm of Carson, Plrie, Scott & Co., who died April 24 at his winter home in Florida. The value of the estate is estimated at $12,000,000, and is divid- ed among the widow and seven chil- dren. The widow, Mrs. Sarah Pirie, re- ceives all the realty holdings, house- hold 'effects, horses and boats, and $5,000 for immediate use as her share. The residue is divided among the children. Gordon L. Pirie of Evans- ton. John T. Pirie of Lake Forest, Mrs. Marie P. Weir of Brooklyn, Misses Sarah L. and Margaret C. Pirie of Sea Cliff,V L, and Pirie of l^ke Forest. A bequest of hut $1,000 Is tt*i the fourth son, Allan H. Pirie. who resided on Ridge avenue, Evanston, until be left to live in the east about seven years ago. * ' :'yf^W. Was Pioneer Merchsnt. vtv Mr. Plrie was one of the pioneer merchants of Chicago. Following his retirement he resided on Long Island and In Florida He held large inter- ests In Standard Oil and had So-hand- some residence at Sea Cliff, where he controlled much of the water front It is estimated that the share of each will be in excess of $1,000,000. John T. Pirie, Jr., denies that the bequest of $1,000 means that the young man is virtually disinherited because of his marital troubles. "My brother has been well taken care of," says Mr. Plrie, Jr., "and when the will is completed it will be found he has received an equal amount In the estate. He receives nearly the whole of his father's es- tates in Long Island and Florida." EfcuMteiiMtnei L.LITT DlflttMti sadBawMstHy ««mi*eTlT% price Here sad Save, on pi 325 W. Merfkoa Street Bet.
