WHEELING PARK-Sunday Afternoon
and evening, Chicago Marine Band.
Perhaps the most emphatic success
of the present season has been that
achieved by Fallen Among Thieves
Davis & Keogh's most recent triumph
and Frank Harvey's masterpiece 1t is
melcdrama, with a spirited plot, in
which comedy and sensation are inter
woven, that appeals to the heart as
well as to the eye. It's success is not
due to the fact that it is produced with
superb stage settings, strong compa-
ny and in a popular house. 1t is the
common human chord touched by the
story. This is not one of intense dra-
matte interest, but has woven about it
very skillfully the semblance of actual
life, and by reason of this readily ap-
peals to the ordinary human under
standing and to the appreciation of all
classes At the Opera House next Mon
day, October 18th.

Mr.. William c. Whitney finds that
he cannot support Tammany this year
and he will shortly sail for Europe to
escape voting. Mr.. Whitney's loss Of
interest in Tammany dates from the
adoption Of the Tammany platform,
which declares for municipal owner
ship of franchises. This deals Mr..
Whitney solar plexus blow, as it di-
rectly assails his street railway monop-
oily in New York city and will, if
Tammany is successful, prevent him
rom grabbing several other franchises
he and his associates are after. Nc
wonder Mr.. Whitney will sail for Eu-
rope to avoid helping Tammany and
no wonder he and his street railway
associates are preparing to aid Boss
Platt all they can to defeat Tammany
If things continue on this line Tam
many will soon be loved for the enemies
it has made.

Prussia controls the railroads within
her domain and the income from them
pays 46 per cent. of her total expenses
which are $114,0OO,000. j. Pierpont
Morgan now owns in the United States
more miles of railway than does Prus-
STA. While the United States is not
prepared for State ownership of rail-
roads Pierpont Morgan's growing mo-
nopoly is preparing a condition which
may drive the people to State owner
ship in self-defense. The great and
growing demand for municipal owner
ship of street railways is the outgrowth
of similar condition only on smaller
scale.

In India the people are employing
native coiners who travel about the
country coming silver trinkets into
rupees. Of course, this is illegal and
is nothing more than counterfeiting,
but the conditions have grown so des-
perate in India since the stoppage Of
at it per force. 1t is a strange state of
affairs, this enforced legal sanctioning
of counterfeiting, but it conveys a pow
erful object lesson.
