A MODEL BOSS.

DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew would make
a picturesque and pleasing head Of the
Republican organization in this city
and county. The meetings Of the Com
mittee would be attractive II only In
expectation OF the good Jokes the Presi-
dent might get of, and In the hope
that something would occur to draw
from him an extended speech.
But will Mr.. Depew accept? Can he
run a railroad and a political machine
at one and the same time? VIII not the
duties Of guarding against collisions on
the road and in the Committee be too
much even for his well-known admins
trative powers?
1t Is said that tho Republican machine
has been reformed" But what sort OF
a reform IL It that leaves all the boys
except Frank Raymond in control OF
their districts? What nice reform tools
the wicked Gibbs. and Deane. and Shea.
and Simpson will be to work with. And
how we'll MIR. Depew knows the worth
OF the wicked Gibbs as a reformer.

will accept. But II he should do so. wha,

"OLD LAVENDER"

The revival OF 'Old Lavender" at
Harrigan's Theatre last night reminded
us that our popular acknowledgements
ger can be melodramatic as well as
farcicai, n that although we have not
seen much of him OF late In the Hence
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES form
OF entertainment. 1t was In melodrama
that some of his best successes were
achieved.
In "old Lavender" Harrigan gives us
a consistent well-drawn, deftly shaded
character sketch. lone in colors Of as
fine a quality as could possibly be de-
sired. II George Coggswell, otherwise
Old Law, gets to be a bore before the
evening is over It Is simply because
Harrigan is telling the truth about him.
There are just such beer-soaked bores In
everyday lif~e-preachy. discursive. aro-
matic-and one meets them far too fire.
quently. At least l do. They buttonhole
my one who has the reputation of being
a good listener and make his life a
misery. Harrigan's Old Lavender Is
wonderfully true. Whenever he becomes
a nuisance the truth becomes more con-
%spicuous. 1t Is an unpleasant part. al
though Harrigan probably thinks that
he has the sympathy of the audience
because he gives his unkind brother
$500 o. at a moments notice. and rescues
a damp woman from death. Lavender's
Pecksnifian talk, his sudden plunge into
the disreputable and his general grimi-
ness do not inspire sympathy.
H%arrigan is on the stage all the time,
and none Of Mr.. Abbey's songsters labor
rnnra n rJ ,te tha, he yFhAn he t.r't
talking he is singing, and his voice is
In a wonderful state of preservation.
Dave Braham's songs introduced into
"Old Lavender" have none of the
catchy" characteristics of his other
compositions. They are tame. and they
sound like Braham tired out. More
over, 1t seems odd in melodrama to
hear the same sort of choruses that
are used In Harrigan's ~farcical efforts.
The cast was, as usual. exceedingly
good. although nobody had many OPP
p%ortunities. Mrs. Yeamans. as the deaf
old sailors clearinghouse keeper, was
admirable In the mail part she was
called upon to interpret, and Johnny
Wild was as vigorously vociferous as
ever. James B. Radcliffe. George Mer-
rift. Dan Burke and Richard Quilter
were all good. The heavy villain. John
G. Dixon, suggested the cheap miscreant
OF such plays as THE Power OF Gold
and THE Span of Life" He had the
usual air of oily malevolence, although
he did not wear kid gloves or smoke
a cigarette. However, what's the use of
Analysing anything at Harrigan's Thea
tire. Everything goes there, and every
thing deserves to go. as long as we have
Harrigan. Mrs. Yeamans, Dave Braham
and Johnny Wild doing their pas de
quatre before audiences who adore
them. ALAN DALE.

To the Editor:
do not understand how the young man whose

can hesitate a moment between his poor. old
mother, who has been his best friend all his
life, and who is now all alone II he leaves her.
and a woman whom he has perhaps known a
year o. 80. particularly when she gave her prom
ise to go with him TO his mother, and now In
sists upon him leaving her, or rather. as the let
ter states, turning her cut in her old days or
course, It is much better for young married people
to be by themselves for the first few years at
least, but in a case OF this sort 1t seems to me
to be not only a duty. but a pleasure as well,
to do all In their power to make mothers declin-
ing years her very %happiest, And II the young
wife truly loves her husband she will deem it a
privilege to make such a sacrifice OF her own feel
ings for his sake. Think OF your endless remorse,
young man. should you desert your mother and
she should die a few months afterwards. You may
not have her but a few years at the most. Tell
your wife kindly and firmly Just how you feel.
and she will, | am sure. not only do as you wish,
but also respect you more than ever. "A good
son makes a good husband I should be very

THE HUBBUB.

The message on the Hawaiian ques-
ton Is OF interest only from that point
In the story where the Instructions to
Minister Willis are made public. These
instructions show that the President felt
1t his duty to put affairs at Honolulu
back into the position they were In
when Minister Stevens overthrow the
then existing Government. In other
words. the speculative Government Com
mission was to retire and the Queen to
go back to her opera-bouffe throne pro-
vided she would promise to extend COM
plete mnesty to all concerned In her
temporary overthrow and provided the
Stevens Government Committee would
step peaceably out.
This Is just the point where opposition
to Mr.. Cleveland's policy begins. His ac-
ton has been honorable, and prompted
by a strict sense OF Justice and right, no
doubt. Our Government was clearly in
the wrong. But the American people
cannot relish IN proposition to put the
black Queen back or her throne, to re-
establish a monarchy there under exist
Ing circumstances and they would rather
shut their eyes to the long-hatched Ste
'N'S tfeth tfihN' HuNh Nv
tons as Mr.. Cleveland proposes. This
may be unjust, but 1t Is American and
human nature after all.
The popular feeling seems to be In
favor OF letting affairs In Hawaii work
out their " destiny; Of reorganizlng
as far as necessary the sham OF a Gov
eminent In existence when Mr.. Cleveland
entered the Presidency last March. and
OF taking care to be ready to protect
American interests and American citi-
zens II there should be any fighting be-
tween the deposed Queens party and the
self constitutes PROVISIONAL"
The Presidents plan OF settlement
failed because It seems that neither the
Queen nor the Stevens Committee would
agree to Its condition. 1t now remains
to be seeen what disposition will be made
OF the matter by Congress.

Rescue Homes for Girls.

To the Editor:
believe that Mr.. Parkhurst is doing some good
in this city by compelling the police to do their
duty, and the only dra wback to his way Is thai
he eviots these poor girlS from their homes and
does not provide places for them to 20 to.
A larg. number OF the girls turned into the
streets by the police don't live the way they dc
from choice. but are turned out Of the house by
a drunken father or mother because they could
not obtain work, and so rather than starve they
live a life OF immortality.
I think a good plan would he to set up a Sal
walton Army Rescue Home. and as soon as these
poor girls are turned adrift they could. II they
wished. 70 to this Rescue Home and try to LEAD
better lives.
Mr.. Parkhurst should, In my judgment. maxi
this proposition to the Salvation Army and sup,
ply part Of the means. The salvation Army is do,
ing 1t without Mr., Parkhurst's aid at the pres
emit times. but they have not started enough homes,
for the reason, ] suppose that they don't want
to spend all the money on one city when there
are so many to look after. I hope this will catch
Mr., Parkhurst's eye, and that he will adopt the
suggestions I am trying to convey In my note.
