DRAMA OF THE PRESENT, DAY

Company. j,
Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA Feb. 25.-Jacob
Lift has scored another tremendous
success in Charles T. Dazey's new
play, '"The War of Wealth. which
was produced at the most aristo-
cratic theater in Philadelphia, the
Chestnut street opera house, tonight
in the presence of an audience
which filed every part of the big
house Not in a long time has there
been such a cheering, enthusiastic
multitude within the walls of a Phil
adelphia theater, and never in the
history of Philadelphia theatricals
has a new play been so emphatic
ally stamped with approval. In
scenic way it far surpasses any pre-
vious production of an American
drama. The author has handled his
theme with consumate skill, and pre-
sents a phase of American life with
which everybody is familiar. He
graphically delineates bankers, spec
ulators and promoters of prominent
financial schemes. Types Of the
bank presidents, types of controllers
of mighty corporations, types Of the
drawing room and types of the street
are shown, and opposite roles of the
social system are personiffed in the
women of the lengthy cast. One in
tense1y thrilling and animated scene
represents a run on a bank. There
are 200 people on the stage, and the
effect on the audience was electrical.
Again and again was the curtain
run up in the responses to the shouts
of the enthusiastic audience. The
company is admitted on all sides to
be the strongest ever organized for
an American play. The author was
called upon for a speech, and so was
Manager Lift, but the latter de-
clined to appear. The critics agree
that Mr.. Darcy has treated the live
issues of the day in a thoroughly
original manner, and predict that
the "War of Wealth" will create a
sensation. Many New York man
ayers were present. All pronounce
it the most notable production Of the,
American play seen in years.

AFARMERs, BAROMETER.

A significant difference is observ-
able in the length of delinquent tax
lists at present being published in
country newspapers. In counties
where diversified farming has been
practiced for any length of time, the
number of descriptions is compar-
atively few, in several instances not
exceeding two columns. Newspapers
published in the sections that still
sow only wheat and kindred cereals
are printing from one to two pages,
and more, of descriptions of property
on which taxes are delinquent. No
surer or more positive evidence of
the great benefit of diversified agri-
culture can be found than the de-
creased size Of the delinquent tax
list. It is an unfailing Indication of
the condition Of the farmers in any
section.

MIR. sPRINGER,s REToRT.

That was a very happy retort of
Mr.. Springer to Mr.. ST. John, the
silverite president of a New York
city national bank, who wrote Mr..
Springer urging measure making
the secretary of the treasury pay
out silver instead of gold. Mr..
Springer paraphrased Mr. st. Johns
letter, and suggested that the latter
exercise the auth ority vested in him
by law and pay the checks presented
to his bank in standard silver dol
lars. eff" concluded Mr.. Springer,
using the words of the bank presi-
dents letter, you should pursue this
course for a reasonable time the
achievement would be in all details
and in every respect happy one. On
the other hand, if you should neglect
this opportunity the neglect may be
proved one more ground for fault
finding with those financiers who
preach one doctrine and practice an
other"

HADDAM, Conn, Feb. 25.-Persons
on the way to church last night made
horrible discovery about mile back
of the village of Middle Haddam, at
what is known as Hogs Hill. For
some thirty years, Thomas Cavanagh,
an industrious farmer, has lived in a
little story and half farm house with
his wife. The church-goers were sur
prised to see that the house was Il
mass Of ruins, with only here and
there bit of smoke arising from dy-
ing ember. Searchers soon came upon
a mans body, badly burned and bare
ly recognizable. Near by was found
a pelvic bone, which was all that re-
manned of the womans body. From
the location, it was concluded that the
couple, who were about sixty years
old, were asleep at the time the fire
started and were burned in their bed.

CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT
Given at Christ Church Last
Night to u Good Audience.


Night to Good Audience.
The concert given last evening under
the auspices of the Episcopal Church
Charity association at Christ Church
Guild hall attracted a large audience,
representing almost every parish in the
city. Especial pleasure was afforded
by the singing of Mrs. c. B. Yale.
Since her return from an additional
course of study in the East, her voice
has acquired even an increased vol
ume and resonance. Her first number
last evenings ga Summer Night" by
Goring Thomas, at once made mani
fest that her rich vibrating tones could
be heard to full advantage only in
hall larger than the guild room. New
ertheless the passionate tenderness of
this charming love song was rewarded
by hearty recall.
Mrs. Yale's next song was the sue
cess of the evening. 1t was 1.-THE
Brownie King" beautiful contraIto
gem, not alone rendered by a st. Paul
artist, but written and composed by
ST. Paul author and a st. Paul COM
poser-the words being by Franklin
W. Lee and the music by Prof. Ober-
hotter. The verses are simply sweet
and picturesque, and the music begin
ming as a gliding andante baraCole,
changes from one tempo and express
sion to another in accord with the
changing spirit of the verse. The
theme is markedly original, and the
phrasing and treatment is rich and
beautiful. The song, soon to be pub
lished is still in manuscript, and was
last night sung in concert for the first
time.
In could p by Tosti, and ODER
hoffer's Loves Weather" A. P.
Quesnel was enabled to display the
evenness and brilliancy of his fine
tenor voice.
Nothing can be more delicately
sweet than the music of the either in
the hands of skilled performers, and
the st. Paul Either club certainly be-
longs in the latter category Pugh's
"Lorelei'' arranged as a either duet by
Miss Elizabeth Mangold and Christie
pher Arnold was altogether delightful.
La Reve," Golterman's romanZa, is
as softly sweet as the picturings of the
novel whose name it repeats, nor was
any of it's musical possibilities omitted
when translated by Emil Traeger's
cello.
St Johns Church Male choir, includ-
ing as it does so many little white
robed boys, is a constant favorite
among local music lovers. But even
the absence Of the picturesque robes
last evening was scarcely missed, so
successfully did the youthful singers
cope with the difficulties of the mad
rigal "Matona, Lovely Maiden" by
Orlandus Lassus.

A SHJFVY DIAGNOST,

If any of the readers of the GLOBE
also read the Chicago Inter ocean
they will be struck by the rapidity
of it's diagnoses of the Industrial
conditions. They will remember
with what virulence that paper in
sisted that no country ever enjoyed
such unaHoyed prosperity as did this
country up to that fateful day in
November, '92, when a majority of
the voters turned the Inter Oceans
party out of power 1t was that
act that caused the panic, and that
alone, it aSseVerated daily during
the campaigns CT '93 and "a. Cor
nered with the fact that the panic
did not burst until June. '93, when,
if its theory were sound, it should
have broken loose the preceding De-
cember, it replied that it was not
known until after the Legislative
elections that the senate would be
Democratic, and that, when that was
ascertained, the storm broke in all
it's fury. Reminded that the legiS
latureS that elected the senators in
January and February We're elected
in November, and the fact that the
senate would be Democratic was
known then as we'll as the change
in the administration, it fell back
on it's original assertions, and re-
doubled it's energies in rejteration.
Meanwhile the Tribune and other
papers OF it's kidney were insisting
that the adequate cause of the panic
was to be found in the elimination
Of the effects of the Allison and
Sherman silver acts.
The election terminating satisfac-
torily to the Inter Ocean, and the
depression still continuing in spite
Of the restoration of Republicanism
to congressional control, the Inter
Ocean drops it's former diagnosis
and frames new one. 1t is now
the treatment silver is getting that
is the cause. If that were restored
to free coinage all would be well.
The farmers mortgage has not
declined in amount, but the value of
the mortgaged land has. The in
terest on the bonds issued to pro-
mote great enterprises" remains
the same, but rentals and earnings
have declined" The coupon clipper
is happy yet, but the man who pays
them is not.
There will come a time" says
this agile politico-diagnost eff the
shrinkage continues, when the acres
and buildings and these internal en-
terprises will so diminish in earning
capacity that incomes will be INSULT
Gent to even pay the interest on
their membranes. Then will come
a lamentable crisis in the country,
and bankruptcy will do it's terrible
work" What will prevent this?
What must be done to avert this
impending crisis? Any believing
reader Of the Inter Ocean, mindful
of its ante-election warnings, would
answer: Restore the Mckinley tar
if, of course. That was the cause,
and the only one of all this calamity,
and common sense SAYS remove the
cause and cure the condition" But
the wind has changed, and now is set
due west, blowing out of the silver
states. Thousands of people, con-
tinues this compounder Of remedies,
are becoming convinced every day
that this can only be prevented by
restoring silver to it's old place
among the monetary metals ef the
world" And there you have it.

Senator Voorhees, has called a
meeting of the finance committee for

lions with a view to securing the
desired changes.
THE NIGHT SESSION

twenty senators, but as the oues-
ton of a quorum was not raised,
work proceeded on the sundry civil
appropriation bill. The appropria-
ton for the chief officials of the

stoned much debate. The house had

plant for the capitol. The amend
ment increasing the appropriation
for surveying the public lands from
$4,000 to 100000 was temporarily

notice of further amendment maxi
ing the appropriation $4OO 900
The amendment was agreed to

on the subject.

ney military reservation and build
