This computation ts based upon the fact that the Continental Con- gress on June 1771, passed the following resolution: Rewived, That the flag of the thirteen Mat be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white Uiat the Union be thirteen stars, white ine blue eld, representing @ new constellation. ‘O1d Glory” bears well its years. It is as brightly red, white and blue as ever; it has preserved every stripe untar- nished; it has more than multiplied ite stars by three. It is known in all lands and means more to the broken-down In heart and hope than any symbol save those that come from heaven. Flag worship is not superstition, not mere sentiment.

According to the Court, such charters must be strictly interpreted. r What ie not dta- tinetty ‘and plainly granted 1s thereby Gistinetly and plainly prohibited. ‘There- fore, the Pullman Company, whose Mulishness in refusing to listen to even the ion of arbitration with their employees caused the great railroad strike of 1894, is clearly also an “‘illegal combination.” Its charter grants {t power to bulld parlor cars—it does not Grant it power to build houses and charge high rents for them to its work- fngmon, to lay water mains, to operate Surface cars, to build gas works—in fact, to own and operate a city, and thus to seek to own and operate the lives an@ souls of the dwellers therein, But all this is merely the legal view —the sound, common-sense view is that all these Truste, grinding rich and poor Glike between the stones of reed, are legal, because they aim to prevent all honest, wholesome business competi- tion—they all commit the old common- law-pilense of forestalling.

DRAMATIONEWS AND NOTES Rese Whytal's Professional Matinee with Original Playe--De Mas- rier Speake About “Trilby.” An emphatically Rialto-eeque audience assembled at the Fifth Avenue Theatre yeater- day afternoon to see three one-act plays, written by the effervescent- lyenergeticyoung actor, Russ Why- tal. Mr. Why- tal called it ‘the author's mat- inee, compliment- ary to the theatrical profession,” and he certainly put himself to a good deal of trouble, He explained it all most im- Pressively in a speech that wasn’t half. bad. He believed in the approval of actors and actresses, he sald—with a pause for effect—and he chose to pre- Sent his plays for the appreciation, or otherwise, of his professional sisters and brothers, Whey Mr. Whytal is oldor he will know better. An actor Is the worst eritic a play could have. All the actor clamors for is a good, meaty bang at the end of each act. Mr. Whytal, however, was probably satisfied with the recep- tion accorded to his play. The old sou- Drettes And (he SKICt §N ingenues C2\.CKI6d with glee at the love passages, and the leading men applauded ferociously when Whyta! was shot at the close of his “tragic romance.” They thought it so strong. The death scene to an actor 1s the acme of romantic bliss. The best of the three plays was “Agatha Dene,” a comedietta, In which a father and son both loved the same woman, but the father had got anead of his son by loving ner before the young man was born So Alan was introduced to her daughter, and ten minutes later he was on the high road to falling in love with her. In fact, he had an exceedingly loving heart. Frank Mordaunt was the best feature of this comedietta. Mr. Whytal as a comedian was neither a thing of beauty nor a joy forever, Mrs. Whytal showed to better advantage as Agatha than in the emotional roles that she prefers. She keeps her mouth open ai) he time, as though she were catching files, but'in comedy you don't mind it so much, She had, several excellent mo- ments, "Taps," described as a war memory was a fool.sh affair, full of red sunset, and reeking with slow music.
