AT THE THEATERS.

Fanny Davenport has never had role
which tested her dramatic ability as much as
that of "Gismonda," in which she will ap
pear at the Metropolitan on Friday and Sat
urday nights and at the Saturday matinee.
In it she portrays all the passions known to
her sex. She is fierce and gentle. loving and
hating, threatening and beseeching, cold and
seductive, and, in fact, changes from one ex-
IRENE to the other perhaps few women on
the American stage can do. Her company is
an excellent one, and is headed by Melbourne
Mcdowell. From a scenic and costume
standpoint. 1t is the most gorgeous and i'm
posing production ever placed on the stage.
Each scene is faithful transcript from the
period and place represented. The last scene
is the most imposing and impressive of all
Santa Maria at Athens on Palm Sunday. 1t
requires forty men twenty minutes to set
this scene. Miss Davenport will begin her
engagement tomorrow evening with the re-
vival of la Tosca,' which has not been
seen here for many years. and is one Of the
strongest plays from the pen of the great
French dramatist, Sardou.
Eugene ORourke. who, with Ada Dare, Is
presenting the little one-act farce, "After the
French Ball." at the Grand this week. will.
tomorrow night, sing the very latest song in
the comic line, entitled II Love to See My

A BLOW AT FOREIGN TRADE.

The discussion in the German reich
stag on the subject of the proposed
changes in the tariff laws of the United
States is interesting to us chiefly in
the intimation which it conveys of the
effect that the Dingley bill will have
upon our foreign trade. Our astute
who are always prattIing
about the desirability of extending the
markets for our products abroad, while
they are scheming how to prevent the
nations who buy from US from selling
to us again, may learn easily from this
just what treatment the products of our
farmers will receive abroad after the
tariff goes into effect. The discussion
proper shows the bitterness of the feel
ing which this has aroused, in that it
was devoted to the question whether
or not retaliatory duties and other re-
prisals could be, put into effect. The
objcctieni btaodaaSpg this directly is the

MIR. Rockefeller to Have Floral
Clock Mt TarrytOwn.
NEW YORK, May 4.-John D. Rock
efeller, according to report, is to have
an extraordinary floral novelty on the
grounds Of his country seat on the
Hudson, near Tarrytown-a clock made
entirely Of growing flowers, which will
tell the time of day with much accu-
racy. The floral clock is the suggestion
of Mrs. Rockefeller, who has for many
years been an earnest student Of hOri-
culture. It is said that before she was
married to Mr.. Rockefeller, and while
he was yet a bookkeeper, she was a
teacher Of botany. There has never
been floral clock planted in this coun
try, but the BARONESS Burdette-C outts
had one, and 80 did the duke of West
minister. The one that it, is expected
will be seen Gup the american Rhine
Wilt be of home design, and the flowers
used will be for the nf6At part those
that grow wild about TafFytbWn.
Their are sixty-seven varieties of
opening and closing their petals. The
white lily opens at Z a. m. and closes
at p. M, and in the country districts
is called "day lily" The design for Mr..
Rockefeller's clock, it Is said, has just
been completed by an Ohio landscape
gardener, who has selected tine COM
mon yellow dandelion to represent the
hands These flowers open at $50 a.
m. and close at about $3.50 p. m. For
the D. M the hawkseed has been sug
gested as the best, as 1t closes at that
hour. The snow thistle, also common
to the meadow, closes it's little white
flower at exactly p. m. The best II
a. m. plant is from the pasture and is
called the cow thistle. 1t opens at S
a. m. and begins to close at II, but IS
not completely closed before noon.
From a distance the clock will have the
appearance of a flower bed but no one
will on close inspection mistake it for
anything other than what it is

their part, whether the first duty Is
not to get together those who believe
in Democracy?
There never was a stronger moral
lesson on the futility Of discord and
the disgrace which follows it than this
new dividing line that's being drawn
in the house Of representatives. The
money issue has nothing to do with It,
The leading spirits of both factions in
Mondays vote protested to be in entire
accord on the currency. They are sim
ply squabbling among themselves over
petty issues of precedence and leader
ship. They have not solidif1ed their
ranks. They have not formed definite
policy in caucus and agreed to abide by
it. They are acting merely as a loose
aggregation Of units to discredit the
Democratic party and to give AID ana
comfort; as well as amusement, to the
enemy. If there Is any one tnlng
which Democracy demands at the pres
ent time, it Is the dropping out OF slgnt
of questions that divide and distract
it. the formation of a strong and in
telligent leadership and party orga-
nization based upon issues on which
we are all agreed and on which We are
convinced that majority of the people
are with us.
1t is not yet too late, but 1t soon Will
be, for Democrats to open their eyes
to the situation and to take that course
by which alone they. can win the VIC
tory that waits for them to grasp 1t.

aiding the Republican party to over
come the immense disadvantage at
which it has been placed by it's present
policy. If the men who now claim to
be leaders know anything at all about
politics, it is time for them to assert
themselves and show us compact par
ty, with definite policies and a COM
plete organization, sustained by effec-
tive discipline, about which the great
and daily increasing opposition to the
Republican party programme may
gather for the coming assault.

What the National Sons Of the Rev

Rukard HuFd, returned yesterday
weeks ago as a delegate to the National
Sons of the Revolution meeting, which
was held at Philadelphia April 49,.
This was, general meeting of the or

were present nearly 100 delegates rep

societies, and at which steps were tax

long-ta.lked-ofi. amalgamat with the
Society Of the Sons of the American

44 The action Of the society was briefly
chronicled in the G 10 b e at that time,
Mr. Hurd believes that this, the third
attempt at consolidation, the others
being made at New York in 1898 and
at Savannah in 1896. will in all proba-
bility result favorably, as the majority
Of sentiment seems In favor Of such a
move At the April meeting a, resolu-
ton was adopted, after some extended
discussion, providing not only for con-
solidation, but for the appointment of
a conference committee of five MEM

TAXING HIDES.

one OIL the Few features OF the ldIHl
bill as it is likely to emerge from the
senate, over which even the enemies Of
protection can afford a quiet chuckle, is
the tax of ~ cents per pound on hides.
This, it is said, the Western senators
are prepared to insist upon; and, as the
bill cannot be passed without their
votes, they are likely to get what they
want Their proposition, and it Is
wholly reasonable one, is that they are
entitled to their share of the pie. Pro-
tective duties have been levied this
many a year for the benefit of the
Eastern manufacturer. He buncoed the
Western farmer with arguments, but
when it came to profits he alone was
in it. He conceded lot of worthless
effective as the pope's bull against the
comet, and offered them in exchange
for duties ON the various necessaries of
life manufac tured in New England and
the middle states. So this jug-handled
arrangement has gone on, with the West
paying the piper and<the East doing
the dancing This time it is going toybe
quite different. Wessesa interests, hav-
ing obtained thesBa1s1ce of power in
the senate, have given their ultimatum
to the effect that not only wool, but
hides must be duly protected.
1t is wonderful what a buzzing this
Nc
hornets nest. New England in gen
eral, and Massachusetts in particular,
are the center of an enormous shoe and
leather interest These people have
been for years the most ardent pro-
tectionists in. theory, and are so yet.
AS long as they could get their raw
were willing to join in levying taxes to
promote their sectional interests at the
expense of the rest of the country. Now
the boot is on the other leg, and it is
of high-priced leather on account of
tariff taxed hides. The New England
senators have all started the ball roll
ing, and the bitterest fight will be made
on this portion of the bill. We hope
sincerely that in this case the hide
may go with the hoofs and horns.
Let these selfish people, whose vision
of justice is limited by the little area
where they are centered, taste some
thing of the dosersthat they have adj
ministered to the rest. ef~the country

thing, but so are free wool and free
lumber and free coaEand free iron ore.
Let them stand or fall together. AS we
said the other day in discussing the
proposed tariff on wood pulp. we want
to see no exceptions made in the bust
ness of tariff robberies. Let all be
treatedsa kilse. Let those who in the past
have gathered in with one hand, the
unearned towards of protective tar
iff, while with the other hand they dis

bill is passed, hides ought to have the
