SPAIN BoRRoWs $4o,ooo,ooo
To Garry on War With the United
States.

London, March All indications in
London today are that Spain is pushing
her preparations for war with the Uni
ted States. 1t is, of course, impossible
to verify all the rumOrs in connection
with SPANS transactions here, but it is
reported on the very best authority
that her agents today concluded nego-
tiatiOnS for a war loan, said to be $780,
100000. The most persistent rumor is
that the ROthschilds have furnished
this amount, but this is positively de-
MED by ROthschiId's agents here.
The fact is that two different COM
missions from Spain have been in Lon
don for two weeks attempting to raise
money, for which they have offered as
high a rate of interest as 40 per cent,
which is believed to be the rate at
which the 40 million dollar loan was
made. Financial agents of London cap
italists have been in Madrid for 10 days,
investigating the security offered by
Spain, and it is on their report that the
transaction was concluded today. The
import of this is that if Spain has OBJ
tanned this money she will at once pur-
shase seven war vessels, for which she
has been negotiating since the relations
between Spain and the United States
became so strained.

SOME BRIGHT ACTING
In Faulty Comedy by Marie jan
sens COMPANY.

Marie Jansen's character of Pearl
DOdo" in THE Nancy Hanks" is not
essentially a star part. AS far as work
is concerned it is decidedly a light part,
and the condolences principal ap-
pearanceS are simply opportunities for
her songs. Her songs should be more
catching Miss Jansen is clever and
pleasing, and the audience at the CraW-
ford theater last night would probably
have been better satisfied had she been
seen oftener But with such able as
s1stants as Harry Beresford and Jessie
Bradbury, the Coincidence can have the
satisfaction of knowing that her alb
sence from the foot lights was not too
deeply felt.
The latter is a young lady with
pretty face, a smile peculiarly her own
and a remarkably powerful and pleas
ing cOntraltO voice, all of which feat
ures combined to capture the audience
i've minutes after her first appearance.
Miss Bradbury started by singing
coon song, and her work so pleas
ed the audience that the verses of her
songs following that were applauded
separately.
AS an encore in the last act she dem
onstrated that her smile and her voice
were not her only compliShmentS, eX-
ecuting bit of terpsichOrean art that
called for an encore in itself. OF course
she sang The Wabash Far Away"
which was rapturously applauded both
before and after"
Harry Beresford, as the French mar
quis, who for half a day is forced into
taking the part of a woman, through a
ridiculous desire to help a friend, has
the heaviest work of the piece, and fur
nishes the greatest amount of amuse-
ment. Mr.. Beresford proves himself
capable in the somewhat difficult role.
The comedy is weak in one or two
places. 1t drops into mawkish senti-
ment several times. Light comedy is
no place for sentiment and it gives sus-
ceptible natures in the audience a
chance to annoy their neighbOrs with
ELUSIVE applause of commonplace gush.

ward by Night az Well as by Day.
The electric light on the lofty frame
work Of great modern buildings under
construction is now familiar sight,
says the New York Sun. The work goes
on at night as well as by day, SO that,
with it's new building completed, the
valuable land shall as soon as possible
again be made productive.
1t Is common now in busy streets to
do work that involves tearing up the
street payements, on underground
pipes, wires, and SO on, at night; so that
the work may be done with the least in
terruption to traffic, and with the great
est facility az far as the work itself is
concerned.
And nowadays work on new pave
ments is carried on at night, to hurry 1t
to completion; simply to save time. It
may be, for example, that in residence
street two shifts Of men are employed
in laying an asphalt pavement, and the
work goes right on continuously, day
and night. One might look down this
quietstreet at three o'clock in the morn
ing and see the men at work by the
faring naphtha torches, and the big
steam roller moving back and forth Just
the same as at three o'clock in the after
noon.
On occasion work on gas trenches
and other street work is nowadays kept
right on at night. And all these things
are In keeping with the great modern
tendency to save time; to utilize every
minute and to waste nothing.

The Curfew Gives satt.tactton,

The revival of the curfew custom In
certain western cities and villages Is
giving much satisfaction where the or
dinances have been put in vogue. Ac-
cording to the ancient law, all persons
were obliged to heed the ringing of tho
evening bell and to be within their own
doors when the signal was sounded.
The regulations as modernized apply
only to children under fixed age, usual
ly Is years, and are intended to save
them from harmful associations on the
streets at night. Thereby they are not
permitted to remain abroad from their
homes at an hour later than eight
o'clock in winter and nine o'clock in
summer. In the city of Lincoln, Neb.,
where curfew law has been in effect
about two years, Mayor Graham says,
''The results in reducing crime were q
complete surprise. There has been q
decided improvement, socially and NOR
ally, of the youth, and a pecuniary saw
ing from the falling off In the number
of arrests" In Omaha, too, the chief
of police finds that ''it is now an easy
matter for parents to enforce home
rules" About 300 other towns in the
west hive adopted the custom, and
some eastern cities are proposing to
accept and enforce the same.
