EVIDENCE” Why and How James H. Martin Happened to Write It. Perhaps the most pronounced dramatic hit of years, and one that will live when our children are old men and women, is San & Fowler’s beautifal production of “Circumstantial Evidence,” by James H. Martin, For the past ten years Mr. Martin has been making his home in Chicago. One morning he got up and found the papers full of a shocking murder case, Tt appears one Strong had, in a beastly. state of intoxication, whittled his wife to death with @ rezor. Strong was dressed in a light suit of clothes. He left a saloon on W. Madison street a few minutes before 11: 40 p. m., walked six blocks and was found bending over the dead body of his wife at 11: 45 p. m., the police having been attracted to the place by his cries. The razor with which the crime was committed was never found How he conuld euccessfully cut his wife’s throat without a8 much as getting a drop of blood on his bands, much less his clothing, some people could never guesr, although these facts were fally brought out at the three trials. At the third trial he begged the authorities to have him hypnotized, it being the general belief that while in a soporafic state but even this was denied the poor man and he was hanged according to the requirements of the law a few weeks after. It has since transpired beyond a shadow of doubt the man was innocent and the real culpritescaped. The tria), conviction and jadicial murder of this man so worked upon the feelings of Martin that Le determined to write a drama and call it “Oircnmstantial Evidence.” The piece was purchased from Mr, Martin after its completion by Gus Sun and Fred D. Fowler about a yeer ago and put upon the road. People who have seen the prodaction pronounce it a masterpiece. The author bas woven into the play a beautiful love story. bright flashes of comedy blended with the THE TORPEDO BOAT VINDICATED HE value and importance of the torpedo branch of the naval service have received a striking demonstration. At the beginning of hostilities, the Russian navy has been dealt a staggering blow which may go far in deciding the war. This blow was dealt by torpedo boats in which the Japanese navy is particularly strong. It is said by naval experts that the torpedo service of Japan is without a superior. It is thoroughly organized, and the Japanese possess the daring, dash and courage requisite to making a torpedo service effective. The superb contempt for danger they exhibited in destroying the Chinese fleet was again displayed in the cool effrontry with which they entered the harbor of Port Arthur and assailed the Russian battleships. In the torpedo the Japanese have a terrible arm which they are qualified to use to the best advantage. During the Spanish War the American torpedo boats had no opportunity to display their efficiency as a fighting arm, but they proved of great value as sea scouts and skirm-— ishers along the shore. No opportunity was presented for them to show what they could do against men-of-war. Dewey had no torpedo boats at Manila and Cervera’s fleet was destroyed in a single running fight. His torpedo boats hardly made an effort to strike a blow at the American ships. Besides they were operating in broad daylight against a foe fully apprised of their coming and completely prepared to receive them. Because the torpedo service achieved no signal feat in the war with Spain, there has been a disposition to discredit its importance im naval warfare. The Japanese have set opinion right with startling abruptness. Incidentally they have taught their arrogant antagonists a valuable lesson as regards the importance of being vigilant‘ and prepared.

(iood Meats . The Way These Exasperatingly Foolish Animals Court Death. A sheep herder gives some of his experience in handling sheep on the western ranges in the following: We have to watch them every minute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an instant the entire flock is likely to commit suicide. In handling most animals bome degree of self help or intelligence can be relied on to aid the owner in saving their lives, but sheep seem to set deliberately to work to kill themselves. . If caught in a storm on the plains, they will drift before the wind and die of cold and exposure rather than move 100 yards to windward to obtain shelter in their corral. drive sheep ‘against the wind is absolutely impossible. I once lost over 1,000 head because I could not drive them to a corral 200 feet away. In the corral they are still more foolish. If a storm comes up, they all Move “down wind” until stopped by the fence. Then commences the proceeding so much dreaded by sheepmen, known as “piling.” The sheep will climb over one another's backs until’ they are heaped up ten feet high. of course all those on the bottom are smothered. Not one has sense. enough to seek shelter under the lee of the fence, as a horse or dog would do. Again, if a sheep gets into quicksand its fate teaches nothing to those that come immediately after, but the whole flock will follow the leader to destruction. No more exasperatingly stupid animal than a sheep walks.

(iood Meats . The Way These Exasperatingly Foolish Animals Court Death. A sheep herder gives some of his experience in handling sheep on the western ranges in the following: We have to watch them every minute, and if vigilance is relaxed for an instant the entire flock is likely to commit suicide. In handling most animals bome degree of self help or intelligence can be relied on to aid the owner in saving their lives, but sheep seem to set deliberately to work to kill themselves. . If caught in a storm on the plains, they will drift before the wind and die of cold and exposure rather than move 100 yards to windward to obtain shelter in their corral. drive sheep ‘against the wind is absolutely impossible. I once lost over 1,000 head because I could not drive them to a corral 200 feet away. In the corral they are still more foolish. If a storm comes up, they all Move “down wind” until stopped by the fence. Then commences the proceeding so much dreaded by sheepmen, known as “piling.” The sheep will climb over one another's backs until’ they are heaped up ten feet high. of course all those on the bottom are smothered. Not one has sense. enough to seek shelter under the lee of the fence, as a horse or dog would do. Again, if a sheep gets into quicksand its fate teaches nothing to those that come immediately after, but the whole flock will follow the leader to destruction. No more exasperatingly stupid animal than a sheep walks.
