"THE MERRY WORLD"

1.-THE. Merry World" properly de-
scribed by it's owners, Canary &
Lederer as a dramatic PAUSE cafe, in
tended to cheer one after a good dinner
and containing a little of everything
except plot, was presented to a three
quarter filled house at the Frothing-
ham last night. The thing is in three
acts and three or four times as many
scenes and its junsble of song, dantce
and specially work serves the strictly
amusement purpose for which Is was
built. 1.-The Merry World Is good-but
it is not as good. not near as good, as
was it's predecessor, ''The Passing
Show"
There were three features of the pro-
duction-the general good looks, figure
and costuming of the chorus, the Trilby
impersonation by Amelia Summer
vile, the dialect sketches Of David
Warfield and the dancing of La Petite
Adelaide. The performance concludes
with Trilby burlesque. In the final
scene Miss Summerville, under Sven
gali's hypnotic influence, Is said to give
the best characterization Of Du Mauri-
er's creation than has yet been shown
in burlesque or Legitimate acting. Her
general poise confirmed the report
which preceded 1.-The Merry World"
that she appears very nearly as the
artist -author drew and described the
first Trilby

BICYCLE MAKERS NEW MOVE.
They Have Decided to Abandon Their Ex.
ncnsiYe Racing Teams.

ihGy udNC DCSiuSu w NOuuuVu iuSu
peusive Racing Teams.
Despite the arguments which some
people adduce in favor of the retention
of the three classes Of cycle racing men.
as the days go by 1t becomes more and
more certain that the intermediate, or
'What-ls-it?" class. is doomed.
In connection with the circular letter
sent out recently by the Cycle Board Of
Trade sounding the manufacturers on
the subject of racing teams, 1t Is stated
that already four of the larger firms Of
makers have decided against the cy-
clists, and will put no racing men on the
circuit next year. Others who needed
but a leader will, 1t is expected, now
flock in, and with no one to hire Glass
men it is difficult to see how that form
of cycling can exist.
This does not mean that the good old
system Of paying men to ride wheels Is
dead. BY no means. Manufacturers
will undoubtedly continue to pay racing
men for some time to come, but they
find 1t cheaper to add to the cash which
professionals can win than to maintain
a stable Of their own. In other words
the manufacturers will pay certain pro-
fessional racing men retaining fees
conditional upon their winning prizes,
and let them go where they like, how
they like, and hire what trainers and
private secretaries they like.
The abolition of Glass "B" will be a
good thing for professionalism in this
country, and the cash prize league, If
It was in existence today, might pay
-'idend next year.

Of the wedge interference. Tho an
swer came quick as a flash. Its .,reat:
it's an Improvement on the tandem"
and SO II has proved to be, for no team
has yet been able to stop It. This
peculiar interference was not used by
Scranton until after the University Of
Syracuse game. which practically ac-
counts for that game being lost by
Scranton. for 1t is safe to say that II
Scranton was in as good condition and
had the same interference they used
so successfully against Elmira on Nov.
20. they would easily have defeated the
Syracuseans.
Last years score with U. p. was 24-O:
this year the boys are determined that
1t will be much smaller. and they will
put forth every effort not only to score
against the lusty collegians, but to
defeat them.

RAILS FROM ENGLAND.

A New York dispatch to the Tribune
is IA follows: "Griswold & Gillett. Of
No. ss broadway, representing Charles
Cammell & Co.. steel manufacturers
OF Sheffield. England, have ordered for
immediate shipment from Liverpool
10000 tons of steel rails for use on the
San Joaquin railroad in California.
Griswold 6 Gillett, in addition to do
ing general banking business. are
interested in the Stuttgart and Arkan-
as railroad, the Pine Bluff and East
ern railroad, the Centralia and Chester
railroad, and are the sole agents for
Cammell & Co. in this country and
Mexico.
ITO a reporter Mr.. Griswold today
said that this was the first order filled
in England for steel rails for use in the
United States in over ten years.
The reduction of the tariff by the
Wilson act said Mr.. Griswold, 'makes
1t possible for the English manufac.
turer Of steel rails to underscll the
American manufacturer at such points
as San Francisco. New Orleans or Gel
weston, but nowhere else. I do not
think that there will be any future
shipments of steel rails in great guam
titles from England. however,
"A. r. Whitney, agent for part Of the
product Of the Carnegie mills, said
While l am not interested in the sale
Of the Carnegie steel rail. I must say
that the Wilson tariff discriminates
against the American manufacturer.
and the first act of congress should be
to abolish that tariff. This matter of
steel rails is an illustration. The cost
Of the English steel rail. including duty.
is $29.SO American rails cost s2S.75.
The freight tariff from New York to
San Francisco is $6.72 a ton, but from
Liverpool to New York 1t Is only 50
n ton. England-made rails can there
fore be landed in San Francisco at 81
q ton less than the manufactured ar
ticle.
Then, again, the Wilson act has nut
cotton ties on the free list. We had
heen making 4O,00 tons of cotton ties
year here. From this on they will be
made on the other side. and The $2000,-
900 or more annually used in their
manufacture will have to go abroad.
Tn addition to that, the men employed
in the making of the ties in Tennessee,
Ohio. Alabama and Pennsylvania will
he thrown out of employment. These
are the reasons why so much gold is
going out of the country. The material
purchased ther must be paid for. Con-
gress can stop the gold outflow quickly
enough by raising the tariff at once"
