background, and the aristocratic members OF
number of comedy scenes of refreshing or
iglnalty. The skill displayed at this point
is remarkably ingenious. Chimmie's bad
friends try to rob the house. In trying to
protect it he is almost dubbed to death, first
by the burglars and then by policeman.
To crown all, he is charged with the crime.
The final act is devoted to establishing the

The story of my Friend From India
which opens the regular season at the Metro
politan next Sunday, Sept. 5, and which will
be presented by the Smyth & Rice Comedy
company, is certainly interesting. 1t is based
on the attempts of Erastus Underholt, a re-
tired millionaire pork packer from Kansas
City, who takes up his residence in New York,
to get his family into the exclusive society
circle of the metropolis. At the end Of three
years he appears to be no nearer the goal
than at the start, when the desired oppor-
tunity is furnished, as he believes, by his
|, son Charles. The latter is a gay, convivial
young man. One night, while out on lark,
he makes the acquaintance of a stranger, a
barber named A. Keene Shaver. In the morn

II don't know whether such features will

The filling of the papers with pictures crowds

MORE INDIVIDUALITY WANTED.
What, Mr.. Dana, are some of the chief
faults of the newspapers of today?''
"One great fault is the lack of individual
ity. Many of our papers are too much alike
in their makeup, and in their news. They
are set UP by typesetting machines, which
make all look alike The result is not artistic
and there is too much sameness. l think
1t is bad thing for a paper to publish the
same news in the same words that its sister
cities publish it. Why, there are three great
newspapers in New York using the same
press dispatches. 1 don't like that. 1 think
every newspaper should have its own individ-
uaity, and l do all that can to give the
Sun character of its own. We are now
getting our, own news from our own CORE
spondents, and we hope to do this more and
more. large part of the Sun is set by hand.
This is always so with the editorial page

The result was. that paid Henry James 81 900

The Giffen-Neill Stock company be-
gins its farewell week of the summer
engagement in st. Paul at the Metropoll-
tan tonight. From all sources there
will be nothing but regret at the de-
parture of the most popular dramatic
company that has ever played stock
engagement in St. Paul. Since the 18th
of May last, with the exception of four
or five weeks in Minneapolis, the
Giffen-Neill players have appeared
every night on the Metropolitan stage.
Very few people outside of the profess
sion know what a vast amount of labor
and detail is required in the rehearsal
and production of different play, and
frequently two plays every week. In
all this time the company has never
catered to anything else but the best
taste of the amusement-loving public,
and has given only the highest class Of
dramas and comedies.
Great credit belongs to James Neill,
who has been, and is, the head and
front of the organization. His intelli-
formances of his company what they
have been-thorough and careful in
detail. His own magnetic personality
and ability as an actor have always
been hailed with pleasure whenever
he has appeared himself He possesses
that rare faculty of getting the best
results from stock actors and actresses.

A CHAT WITH THE VETERAN EDITOR

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-How would
you like to be in your prime at sew
entysix years of age-to be able to do
as much work as you do now at thirty
and to get more and more out of life
as the years go on? I know of man
who is having such an experience. I
had chat with him this afternoon in
the editorial rooms of the New York
Sun. His name is Charles A. Dana.
and he is, as you know, one of the
most influential men of our country.
For more than fifty years Mr.. Dana
has been one of the chief molders Of
public opinion in the United States.

man just as the latter's father enters and
calls him to account for his youthful Wild
ness. AS way out of his embarrassing
position the young man introduces the
stranger to his father an old friend from
India, who is learned in theosophy and is
distinguished member of the yellow Robe"
The Old gentleman Immediately seizes upon
the idea that by judciously advertising in
the society columns of the papers that A
genuine theosophist from India is a guest at
his house he will doubtless be able to land
his family among the '40O'' in New York
society. The barber is anxious to get away
but the old packer has the house guarded at
every point, and the former makes the best
of his circumstances and permits himself to
be introduced as a learned pundit from India.
A series of amusing complications and hilari-
Gus situations ensue, which make up the fun
OF the play. The company which will he

as May Vokes, Frederic Bond Helen Reimer

CURRENCY REroRM-NOT TARIFF.

The last statement of the New York
banks shows them 10 be in excellent
condition. and the exhibit is a marked
improvement upon that Of the preceding
one of October 9th. The average re-
serve held at the close Of business Decem-
Der nth is 1918 per cent. as against @S
on October 9th. The total OF
the forty-nine New York banks then ag-
gregated s577. Ss2,ssS The resources now
are sGi2. COG. $50. Since the statement Of
October 9th the deposits have increased
from s274.373.oli 10 s29s. 9l2, s26.
This Is a gratifying exhibit so far as
the New York banks are concerned. but
1t simply emphasizes the fact that there
is a plethora OF money In New York ana
the money centres and a scarcity OF
money throughout the rural districts. The
New York Sun looks at these immense
figures. pats itself on the back, and says
all is well. while II attempts TO ridicule
those who say otherwise. Blu all is not
well In the country. The New York Her
aid seems 10 n a wider range of vision
than the Sun and takes a very different
view OF the situation. The Herald OF
Tuesday has a most sensible article on
this subject. in which 1t gives Major Nc
kinley some very sensible advice. The
Herald fears that Major Mckinley is go
ing TO be a President OF one idea and push
the tariff TO the exclusion OF the financial
question. but 1t tells him that the pros
perity which he promised has not come
and that II is not TO be obtained by high
protection. which seems to be his only
thought
The Herald directs Major McKinicy's
attention to the fact tina the advocates
OF free silver are making capital out OF
present conditions with which the tariff
has nothing to do. and insists that a
reform OF the currency Is necessary. and
In conclusion It respectfully suggests to
Mckinley and his associates that IL Is
quite time for them TO begin TO think
about currency. Tariff will not help us
Currency reform will. and 10 prescribe

medicine which is not suited TO his NAL
