When woman-or man. for that matter
tries to come out ahead of Mr. Israel Zangwill,
the novelist dramatist, critic and wit. aside from
several other things, it is an awful case OF mis-
placed confidence.
Not long ago the distinguished visitor to these
shores was the honored guest at reception in
Chicago, where they pack pork, read Ella
Wheeler Wilcox and diamonds.
OF course all the women in attendance upon
the function crowded around Zangwill in sheer
hero worship. He suffered them to press his land
and look into his eyes and chatter about the
.sreal Ghetto'' regardless of the fact that Zaug
will knew that they wouldn't know Ghetto if
it were to go by them with sign it,

that her hostess had sbeeh the TO give the

QUAY LOSING MANY
FORMER SUPPORTERS
FEARING TO DEFY PUBLIC OPINION
Reports of Deal I'm Prospect Be-

the Beaver County Boss.

Reports of n Deal I'm Prospect Be-
tween State Senator Magee and
the Beaver County Boss.
Pittsburg, Dec 27.-It is becoming daily
more evident that Senator Quay must
clear himself thoroughly from the crimi-
nal charges against him il he expects to
be reelected, Many of the most promi-
nent Republicans in the State rest in that
belief as told in interviews with quite a
number of them.
Assemblyman Simon Harold, of B-aver
County, said he had voted with the d
man for thirty-two years." but pub. ic
opinion is such that he can no longer do
SO unless Quay clears himself of the con-
spiracy charges. Harrold's desertion
breaks the solid delegation from Quay's
home county.
W. Fred Turner, of Armstrong County
another former Quayite, has also declared
against Quay.
The legislature will meet on January g.
Quay is anxious to force the Senatorial
caucus for that or the following evening.
January Is is the appointed date for it.
Quay believes il he can secure an early
caucus and his own nomination for re-
give him little trouble. 1t is conceded
that he has friends on the supreme bench
IL the caucus be not held until after the
supreme court acts and the decision be
unfavorable he would be out of the Sena-
torial race. In that event State Senator
c. L. Magee will jump in. Magee no -ds a
good hand and is not showing it.
Representative John DalZell of Pittsburg
is being urged, and it is said President Nc
Kiniey and the Administration are pull
ing" for Dalzell- The latter is a young
man of great ability.
II Magee cannot get the Office now he
may make an advantageous deal with
Quay whereby, in return for support OF
Quay's candidacy, Magee and his friends
would control the State and Federal pat
ronage and boss the State machine. Quay
is an old man and cannot hold the office
much longer.
1t may be that if Quay is elected Magee
Will succeed him either during or at the
conclusion of the term. Magee has vast
business interests that will require his at
tention for the next two or three years
and he is not overexerting himself TO take
possession of the Office March next.
The failure of Democratic National Com
mitteeman J. NJ. Guffey and his friends to
attend the Democratic caucus at Harris
burg December II started story that
Guffey will not oppose Quay because of his
close associations with the Standard Oil
Company The octopus wants Quay re
elected, and it is said. is putting the
screws on Legislators.
Guffey says he is for fusion. and the
seventy-four Democrats, with one Or TWO
exceptions. have so declared themselves.
Guffey says to make fusion successful
twenty nine additional votes are necessary.
and indicates that the matter is now up
TO the Republicans
So far as can be seen Mr. Gufey has not
done anything to bring the fusionists to-
gether to break Quay's control of the leg
islature and his subsequent nomination.

That officials face darkened and he said some

Then, with great distinctness and a strong sar-

The banks appear to be faced by new
and startling condition In the case of the
bank robbery at Lima, Ohio, the details
of which appeared exclusively in The
Times this morning, the costly time locks
that have been trusted to foil the most
skillful burglars are found to be worthless.
1t is evident that the robbers were more
expert than the safe men themselves, as
they quickly opened a lock set for many
hours later, while it took the safe ex-
perts long time to do 1t. The facts are
almost incredible. The lock is the last
and best product of inventive ingenuity
and was supposed to be perfection. Most
banks felt so sure of it that the night
watchman was looked upon as useless
employe, and was dispensed with If We
are to believe safe makers, there is no way
known to the most expert of honest men
employed by them by which vaults with
time locks can be opened so quickly and
easily. The wonder is that these burglars
should have exposed their skill for so
small a sum. Now banks will take pre-
cautions so that the robbers cannot have
free access to the establishments. 1t is
another proof that the criminal is an abler
man than the guardian of property-the
safe opener is more shrewd than the safe
maker, as most criminals are more cum
ming than policemen and detectives.

Who Is the commander-in-chief.

fFrom the Cleveland Plain Dcaer)
II seems that somebody also disregard the
orders OF the constitutional commander in chief
of the army. Yesterday President Mckinley cx-
pressed his astonishment that a brigade of troops
was not at Atlanta. II ordered a brigade OF
troops sent to Atlanta and thought it was here
he said. and seemed surprised that the troops had
been sent elsewhere. Who is the actual head of
the army, President Mckinley, Secretary Alger,
Maj Gen. Miles, Adit. Gen. Corbin, or some
obscure clerk in the War Department? 1t does
not seem to be the commander-i -in-chief or the
major general commanding Who is it?

To Abolish Treating.

1t is surely absurd 10 suppose that by an
get of the legislature it is possible to
prevent men from treating one another to
drinks. If such a law could stand the
test of a court decision, 1t would be evad-
ed even more persstently than prohibi-
tion laws invariably are. 1t is pity, too,
than is original appetite for liquor. Mod
ern specialists regard inebriety as a dis
ease, but often it is more disease of the
will, lack of the power to resist the
Rllurements OF good fellowship. than Of

:'The Forty Thieves" Which Will Be
Produced in This Country, IMAM
imOusIy Commended.
London. Dec. 27.-All of London's thir-
ty-four pantomimes got into swing last
night with more or less success OF
course the principal ones were at the two
West End houses-the Drury Lane and the
Adelphi.
THE Forty Thieves which New York
will have an opportunity of seeing in the
spring, after its run is completed at the
Drury Lane, as well as "Diek Whiting
ton,' is pronounced by the unanimous
voice of London's critics to be great
success
Speaking of ''The Forty Thieves" the
Daily Telegraph says:
For many long year the lovers of
true pantomime, the merry. light hearted
adorers of fun in its most attractive form,
have not had such treat as Arthur Col
lins has given them this time. 1t is a
children's pantomime in double sense.
Every child will love it. Every man and
woman in the audience will, by the magic
of the pantomime. become child again.
But were there ever two such entran-
ces as those of Dan Leno and Herbert
Campbell, the one burlesquing Beerbohm
Tree as D'Artagnan In THE Three Mus
keteers,'' and the other caricaturing
charming Edna May in The Belle of New
York
Like a true liberal unionist and a dra-
matte free trader, the enterprising Collins
has gone this year to America and the
English colonies for the best representa-
tives of their art
In this form of wholesome, genial. old
fashioned entertainment, America is repre-
sented by Miss Amelia Stone. who at once
made her mark when she appeared in this
country in an American play, and has made
an even stronger mark now, for she can
act, she is bright and has humor, and is
never dull. stupid or lethargic. Miss Anne
lit Stone plays Morgiana, Cassims slave.
She lights up every scene in which she ap-
pears.
"AustralIa's representative is Miss Nell
lie Stewart, a lovely, graceful woman, a
born actress and an experienced artist. She
is attractive in style and has pure and
beautiful voice.
''At the close of the performance, again
and again Mr.. Collins was called out.
May all congratulate him on the beautiful,
costly entertainment, the fun there, the
porcelain ballet, the magnificent transfor-
nation scene. Loves Golden Gates will
be the talk of London and far beyond ii.

A soldier who served in Cuba says that one
night after march, It happened that few OF

to the tent of an officer of another company. The

The talking continued. and soon out came the
officer His anger was great, and he threatened
to report the men to their colonel, winding up
with: Don't you know enough 20 obey an

have obeyed you if you had had shoulder-straps

Cost of Trusts to Consumers.

(From the Wi!mington Every Evening)
The purchaser OF spade shovel will have
to pay 80 per cent more for these useful articles
in the hardware stores of Wilmington today than
two years ago. And the same is true of other
places. In addition. having absolute control of
the home market, by virtue of protective
tariff that keeps out competition, the trust goes
largely into foreign markets with its products
But it will sell spades and shovels in foreign
markets for lower prices than exacted OF

members may attack the whole scheme of

tract the interest of the country and form
public sentiment strongly against the

powerful argument in the pernicious pro-

shops, which costs thousands Of dollars.
This press has an extension power OF

gained over the old n Is that where 1t
