THE LATEST FAD.
Nobody but 3 Coarse Singer in Variety
Theater-A Craze That Beats the
CArmencitA SillinesA
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, Nov 21.-The newest fad in
this city of changeful excitements is
woman, and not a pretty woman, either.
Moreover, she is just coarse singer In a
variety theater, where song and dance and
noisy wit are her natural surroundings. In
foolishness this fad has never had coun-
terpart since New York began to cultivate
fads 1t beats the Carmencita Stiffness.
Maggie Cline is the fad's name. Everybody
who has gone to a variety theater few
times has surely seen Cline during at least
one of his visits. That is because she has
been constant traveller, a hard worker
and a very vigorous self-advertiser; but
now, after having worn herself out with or
binary variety audiences, she is taken up
by the Four Hundred. She has been sing
ing several months at Tony Pastors. Her
''turn" comes on the programmeabout9 800
o'clock. At s O'Clock this house is gener-
ally not more than half filed. At nine
there are solid black rows of i" standees
back OF the orchestra and in both balconies.
And at 9:15, Just before Cline comes on,
there isn't breathing room scarcely IN the
little Iheater. 1t is the clothes of the late
arrivals that tells the silly story. They
come in carriages until Irving place presents
a spectacle such as was common in the
golden days when the old academy had the
flower of the worlds opera singers on its
boards. They hustled into the house in
frivolous excitement, taking possession Of
rows of seats previously reserved for them.
Section after section of the smart set have
come to wildly applaud Maggie Cline night
after night. To see her is the caper. She
is food for repartee in many gilded draw
1ng-room. The bands play strains of her
vociferous songs at all the cotillions. In
Delmonico's gay diners exchange her latest
jests. Three or four nights ago James Cor
don Bennett paid for a dozen orchestra
seats and led into them the jolliest party OF
notable men and women that this theater
has ever contained. They came in just be-
fore Cline appeared. They watched her
with unfeigned curiosity. and they ap-
plauded her, Bennett with the rest, as vo-
ciferously as If she was Bernhardt or Patti.
And when from exhaustion she ceased ac-
cepting encores, Bennett and all the others
went right out Of the theater. That Is the
way the faddist patents himself
r yline's age may be thirty-fye and 1t may
be more. A dozen years ago she was what
is technically designated as ''chair-

CONGRESSMAN CULBERSON puts
himself on record as favoring the cleo
ton of United States senator's by
popular vote. Were the president and
the Federal senators thus elected, we
would have a more truly republican
government than is the system we now
maintain. To complete the work OF
making the congress and the president
representatives of the people and not
of the states, the senators should be ap-
portioned according to population and
not by states. There is no justice in
giving Nevada's 10000 population the
same voting strength in one branch OF
the law-making department as New
York's 100000 people have. But as
no state can be deprived of its repre-
sentation without its consent. this is
reform that we are not likely to see &C
complished.
