William Winters Criticism
William Winter voiced his opinion
of present theatrical conditions the
other day in strong terms There has
not been a time in fifty years he
said when the theater was at so
low a level as It has reached today
when the impulse is vanity the mc
tivo is greed the method Is sordid en-
grossment the aim is exclusively
business and the result is a barren
traffic and an arid waste The pres-
ent state of things will endure until
tho number of theaters Is greatly re-
duced the hydra of monopoly stran-
gled and destroyed a horde of Incom-
petent performers driven Into other
pursuits for which they arc fitted the
playedout veterans tucked up in their
little beds and the arena made clear
for the men and women who can real-
ly act Dramatic Mirror
A Mans as Old as He Feels
George W Wilson the actor who is
playing the role of Caspar Moulton in
Captain Barrington was for twenty
five years character actor ot the Bos-
ton Museum Stock Company He
joined that organization at an early
age and as he has usually played
old mens parts he Is popularly sup-
posed to be much older than he is
A few weeks ago Mr Wilson who Is
a high degree Mason went to pay a-
social visit to Lieutenant Governor
Curtis Guild of Massachusetts It was
Mr Wilsons fiftyfourth birthday ami
he Informed Governor Guild that he
was celebrating his natal day

So they tramped the three miles to
the old swimming hole which neither
car little Harold Welch showed
plainly that trie stage Is his natural
vocation He Is 13 years old
Governor Well well howtime

son

way Curtis replied Wilson amiably
Good Lord George sputtered

son who Is a bit sensitive as to his
age doesnt ask his friends to guess

SEE NAPLES AND DIE
ANCIENT BOAST NOT WITHOUT FOUNDATION
Special Correspondence
Naples the city of the siren PaT
thenope sacred to one of those sea
nymphs whoso marvelous sweet sing-
ing floated out across the waves and
lured the ancient seamen rowing near
in their strange old galleys It is
frowned upon by the great Vesuvius
caressed by the soft waves of tho
famed Bay of Naples and has for its
neighbors lovely Capri and Sorrento
and also pathetic and romantic Pom-
peii and Hcrculaneum Could a more
interesting or more charming combln
atlon be tounu anywhere for the tour
ist to visit
Virgil wrote here the Georgics and
Acneld with the loveliest view on
earth before him and on this spot
his remains are buried he having died
just nineteen years before Christ was
barn
In an outlying section of Naples is
the tpwn of Pozznoli where St Paul
set foot In the dawn of the Christian
era Cicero called it then miniature
iRomc and with its hundreds of mar
fblo palaces temples and magnificent
baths it was both princely and Im-
posing
Driving from there on a small is-
land called Nlsitla is reached a tiny
spot but rich in history Hero Brutus
retired to a villa after tho murder
ko Caesar and here he aud Cicero met
VJnrconsuiiatlon and then partcd never
tagain to tee each other Brutus fare
well words to Portia were spoken
here and here the lovely and devoted
wife committed suicide upon hearing
of his death
Tho ruined town of Baiac next de-
mands ones attention It was the
grandest Roman watering place ever
known all the great writers of the
day having spoken of its luxury as
something unsurpassed Caesar Pom
pey Nero Caligula Hadrian and oth-
er owned villas In this now deserted
spot where nature and man have
combined to make the place a scene
of desolation with earthquakes and
repeated wars
The reader Is thus given a fragmen-
tary Idea of the past or Naples its
departed wonders and glories and
can understand the great interest its
records have had for centuries for
scholars Now for the Naples of to-
day the bright charming hopelcssly
dirty Naples Some one has said that
her environs form a paradise but that
the city itself is a purgatory
Great Improvements have doubtless
been made In the past few years and
spacious thoroughfares greet the eye
but new Neapolitan features cannot
change the chief characteristics ot the
place viz rags and noise donkeys
and dirt
To really get at the life of the peo-
ple one roust visit the Strada Santa
<
may well be understood in such an
unlettered community where 250000
human beings literally live from hand
to mouth sleep often in kennels and
corners even rob tHc dying of their
clothes and are ever nearly starving
It Is said that in no other city in Eu-
rope is there such frightful poverty
and suffering and the reason Is as
every Intelligent person knows the
present military system of the govern-
ment
In the sacristy of the cathedral of
The Grand Hotel
San Gennaro is the almost priceless
treasury of the saint and in the In
coronata founded by Joanna I are
damaged frescoes attributed to Giot
to The San Dominlco Maggiore is
very rich but to the tourist who has
little time and who has just como
down from Rome with its glorious
treasure houses in tho form of
churches other things arc sure to
claim attention
For instance the National museum
which is one of the first in the world
It Is filled with statues vases friezes
and what not all of great value and
many of grandeur unearthed at Pom-
peii and Herculancum Tho famous
Farncse Bull and Farnese Hercules
are here They were oilginally in
Rome and were found in a pati state
of mutilation but wcra broiighf to
Naples and restored by skilful sculp-
tors
The splendid town palace ot the
king is sumptuous and with its
grand white marble staircase adorned
with statues anil its wholly palatial
appearance 13 certainly a delight to
the risttor
The grotto of Poslilpo wlilclr was
In use when Christ was born must
find a place in this sketch This tun-
nel perforating Posilipo Heights re-
cently cavel in with a tremendous
crash and is now a ruin bnt a new
one has replaced it close at hand and
is considered a remarkable example
ct engineering skill The tomb of
Virgil Is just over the cast entrance
Grand and sombre old St Elmo a
fort once of immense strength crowns
the hill of St Ermo and on the sea-
side are the fortresses of Castel Nu
ovo often compared to the tower of
London and the Castel dell Oro
built by the Norman Wltliam I
Near St Elmo rises the monastery
of San Martino with its exquisitely
cool treaded courtyard of white mar-
ble the center occupied by a garden
filled with palms and roses which
grow profusely around the ancient
draw well Two aged monks alone
remain in these cloistered walls And
are never seen by visitors
The interior is rich with Carrara
marble petrified wood jewels and rare
Monks Conducting Funeral
Lucia that spot famous in song and
story Here is exhibited more of tho
highly colored If unclean existence
ot tho poorer class than In any other
street Some of the alleys leading
from here arc but six feet wide and
seem even narrower by reason of tho
great height of the tenement build-
ings rising on cither side Unkempt
head aro seen in astonishing num-
bers at the windows and when on
feast days they are combed let tho
tourist beware
The public letter writers alsslon
carvings in the Egyptian bosala In
one corner of tho courtyard there Is
an entrance to the belvedere and as
one gazes from Its height far out to
sea where Capri catches the bluo
light and Sorrento rests like a pearl
where Vesuvius rises grim and dark
with its pillar of black smoke and
then looks down below where lies
the lovely old city full ot seductive-
ness and charm with its densely
peopled streets one wonders not that
from this spot were uttered the fa-
mous words See Naples and die
6LIQHT CAUSES FOR WAR
Bloodshed Often Begun With Very
Little Provocation
At least it was no small matter that
brought Russia and Japan to hostili-
ties There was a good deal of truth
In tho scylng that England drifted
Into tho Crimean war without knowing
exactly why it did so No less accur-
ate was Lord Palmerstons familiar
declaration concerning the Schleswig
Holateln troubles Only three men In
Europe he said ever knew what those
warmaking troubles were Two of
tho men died before the war broke out
and the third forgot what was tho
point In dispute A slighting refer-
ence by Frederick the Great to Mme
Pompadour was one ot the exciting
causes of the seven years war An
overturned glass of water was one of
tho contributing elements to another
The omission of a slmplo etc was
tho pes upon which an earlier one was
hung The theft of a Jadys petticoat
brought Moors and Spaniards to blood-
shed The smashing of a mandarins
teapot was the basis of a war between
the imperial forces of China and hill
tribes which lasted for generations

Williamson M D a successful and
clever local physician says
Thero is scarcely another form ot

often to treat as Kidney Disease I
invarlablly prescribe Dodds Kidney

formed his duties as farm laborer In

Dr Williamson has been a regular
practitioner for over twenty years and
his unqualified indorsement of Dodds

tribute to this remedy

DOCTORS COFFEE
And His Daughter Matched Him
Coffeo drinking troubled the family
of a physician of Grafton W Va who
describes the situation briefly
Having suffered quite a whllo from
vertigo palpitation of the heart and
many other derangements of the ner-
vous system and finding no relict
from usual methods of treatment I
thought to see how much there was
In the Postum argument against cof-
fee
So I resorted to Postum cutting
off tho coffee and to my surprise and
satisfaction havo found entire relief
from all my sufferings proving con-
clusively the baneful effect of coffee
and tho way to be rid of it
I havo found Postum completely
takes tho place of coffeo both in flavor
and in taste It is becoming more
popular every day with many of our
people and 13 having great demand
here <
hereMy daughter Mrs Long ha3 been
a sufferer for a long time irom at-
tacks of acuto indigestion By the
dismissal of coffee and using Postum
In Its place she has obtained com
plote relief
I havo also heard from many oth-
ers who havo used your Postum very
favorable accounts of Its good effects
I prescribe Postum in placo of cof
feo in a great many cases and I be-
lieve that upon Its merits Postum will
come into general nso Name given
