living 1t now. The American people
have worse than wasted foar years
at national lie by following the al

voters know work Ia now scarcer,
wages cheaper, products of the farm
lower than they were under Repub.

ThIa t'ny to Choose Morton Delegates.

Thi. city to Choose Morton Delegates.
'ALnASY. Jan. 10 New York city, having lost
the two National Conventions. will find solace
In the announcement that the Republican state
Convention for the election OF four delegates at
large to the National Convention will in all prob
ability be held there. Speaker Fish, who has just
returned from New York TODAY confirmed the
report that this had been decided upon Mt the
conference OF leaders held ut the Fifth Avenue
Hotel on Friday night.
There may be- n change of pan,"ho said,
"bcforc the State Committee meets to issue its
call for the Convention, but nt present the
weight of sentiment is very strongly in favor OF
the metropolis II is almost certain that New
York will be selected
The dnte for the Convention has not yet been
definitely fixed. but 1t will be between March 20
and -. 1t will probably not be held in the
Madison Square Garden, which is unneces-
sarily large. and the chances fnvor the selection
of Carnegie Music Hall. the Grand Central
Palace, or the Academy Of Music. 1t will be the
first Republican state Convention to he held
in New York since 1881. when n state ticket
was named in the Academy OF Music.
There is little doubt that the four delegates
at large who will he named at the coming Con-
vention will be Thomas e. Plat, Edward Iau-
terhach. Warner Miller. and Chuuncey NJ.
Depew. and there will of course be u ringing en-
iorscmcnt OF Gov, Morton's candidacy. 1t has
been understood nil along that syracuse would

toga. the other fnvorite Convention town, being
left out of consideration because of the early
date set.
The selection of New York Is part of a delib-
crate and well-matured plan adopted by Mr..
Platt and the other leaders for pushing the
Morton boom along in every possible way and
giving Repu ublicans in other States to under
stand that they are thoroughly Understanding
the first Presidential aspirant in the field with
q delegation at large behind him. and one OF the
purposes OF putting him forward in the netrop-
oils is to gain the additional prominence which
the Convention will have in the New York
news papers. 1t Is felt too that Its effect will be
to arouse the party pride OF New York Repub-
lcans and put their enthusiasm up to concert
pitch till after election.
IL may be in Mr.. Platt's mind that holding the
Convention in New York will serve to emf phasize
the control which he has now acquired over tho
Republican organZation in that city. 1t is be-
leved that the little band of kickers who rotate
about the person Of the Hon. G. :. Bliss will be
lost sight OF In the great gathering OF real
politicians from all over the state who acknowl-
edge Mr.. Platt Us their leader and mentor.

LITTLE TUESDAY A SCHOOLGIRL.
Her Mother Opens School to FIT Other
Children for the stage

Little Tuesday the child actress. whom the
Gerry society compelled to stop appearing in
public, is now 10 years old and is going to
school, To her teachers and schoolmates she is
known by her right name. Carlotta Wood. and
there are probably very few in the school she at
tends who know that the pretty, dark-eyed
dark haired child earned between the ages of
and years $4,000 for herself and her widowed
mother.
BY the end Of the present school year She will
leave the primary grade for the Junior grade.
She Is very fond of the theatre. Now and then
her uncle Joseph Art hur, the playwright takes
her to "a play. and when She comes home she
tells her mother n very complete story OF the
performance. and gives what NJ r. Arthur con-
siders IA very clever criticism of IL.
Now that Little Tuesday is IN school. her
mother, Mrs. Arnetta Wood of 1901 broadway.
proposes to give her the best possible education.
The mothers means are not large, however
and so. to support herself and educate her
daughter. she has opened a school at her resi-
denCe. where she Will teach children privately
just what she taught Little Tuesday. with the
idea of fitting them FOR the stage. She will
also teach children the Dcsarte system, with
the idea of making them graceful.

The French Concert Hall Singer Draws .
big Audience nt tho Opera House.
Mile Yve,te Guilbert had fair reason TO b
satisfied with her audience in tho Metropolitan
Opera House last night and therefore with her
self.
Despite the predictions. perhaps even the de-
sires. OF the devotees Of high art In music, who
make up the usual audiences at the lMetropoli-
tan. and who were astounded at what they
called Guilbrrt's etfrontery in venturing within
the sacred precincts of the temple Of music,
there WAS II pretty large crowd at the per-
formance last night.
Tho noticeable thing about the audience was
that by far the greater part Of 1t was down
stairs, in the high-priced seats The orchestra
was filled and there was n fair number Of per-
sons in the lower tier of boxes.
The dress circle, balcony, and family circle,
which Mt the regular concerts are usually
crowded. held only ragged fringe OF listeners
IN the first row and n few other folk In the back
seats. Tho character Of the audience gave the
impression that IL was composed of persons who
wanted to and hear Guilbert. but who did
not care To 20 to music hall 10 gratiiy their
curiosity. T.,

shown in several ways.

French and most OF their neRhbors in the
seats were made aware OF the fact. Fewer still
understood Guilbert's kind Of French.
The most interesting people, were those who
understood neither, but who tried hard to make
believe they did. A emile that was broad but
painfully uncertain was on their faces all the
time Guilbcrt WAS on the stage. and their loud
applause was always lust about three bars be-
hind that OF the little clique which seemed To
understand the singer well -
The greater Inrt OF the audience sat with
blank looks through each song and applauded
