The evening times., 1898-12-31

The American Nation is about the rich
est of all and the best able to treat its SOL
diers well. The young men who yolunta-
rily entered the army and were willing to
give up their lives for the cause of human-
ity, included the most intelligent and ca
pable of all the sons OF the Republic
young men who had been used to high
plane of living. Yet they were starved in
Cuba and denied medical treatment when
they were SICK and even surgical treat
ment when they were wounded. 1t is now
revealed that enormous quantities of meat
unfit to eat We're purchased by the Gov
ernment and this was the chief part OF
their rations. The Commissary General
from his own statement, did not know
the meat was bad-did not know it until
General Miles made the fact public short
time ago, and then he denied it. The evi-
dence since published must convince the
American people and the Commissary Cen
eral,

in Paris newspapers bear tomorrow's date with
yesterdays news.
Can engage theater seat and have program
free; extra charge for this in Paris.
Can take my seat without consulting an old
woman usher; impossible in Paris.
Can take a young lady alone to the theater;
in Paris must take her parents also.
Can propose to girl In private; in Paris her
mother must be present.
Can get married without certificate of birth
and baptism; can't in Paris
Can pull teeth without a license; must have
license TO do that anything, in Paris.
Some of these alleged good points of
New York are of dubious quality. Why
should anyone wish to live on the twen-
ty-first floor of house? More than this,
why should anyone wish to live on any
thing but the top floor of twenty y-one-
story house? Imagine city full of Tow
ers of Babel; does any one imagine that
that town would be an agreeable place
of residence? Again, one may pull teeth
without a license in New York; but why
should any ordinary man wish to pull
teeth? If one is going into the business
of dentistry he surely ought to be willing
the community, especially If he is not
very good dentist; and if he is not train
ed for the profession he certainly ought
not to be allowed to pull teeth, with Or
without q license.
AS for being run over free of charge,
the New York citizen who is run over is
often even more fortunate than that. He
tlxa
experience, though few people would care
TO resort to such a method of money
making.
Some of the advantages of life in New
York, however, are really important.
Here, for example, is the social conven-
ton. which makes it possible for young
man to take young woman alone to the
theater. II he were obliged to invite her
parents the expense would be consider
ably increased, and, as consequence, the
pleasure of theatergoing could be induig
ed in only half as many times in course
of a season. Besides this, there is in the
Partisan plan the disadvantage that half
the party would almost inevitably be
fearfully bored. The greatest advantage
of all, without question, is that which
follows: Imagine the sensations OF an
American youth when contemplating a
proposal of marriage to the girl of his
choice, if he were obliged 10 make that
proposal in the presence of her mother!
When the advantages and the disad-
vantages of life in New York are weighed
one against the other. it is evident that
on the whole New York is a very good
place OF residence-compared with Paris.

Willie Collier, the talented and gen.
ial comedian, under the direction of
Smyth and Rice, will present H. A. Du
Souchets roaring farce, THE Man
From Mexico" at the Auditorium Sat
urday, Oct. 1st. The choice is said to
be happy one, as Mr.. Collier in this
play made one of the most marked
successes of last season at Hoyt thea
tire, New York, where it ran for months
after which it was presented in many
Of the large cities duplicating its met
ropolitian favor. Du Souchet, the au
thor, through this farce and My
Friend From India has sprung into
a position of prominence among Am
erican dramatic authors such as he
himself must scarcely anticipated.
Much Cf the fun in The Man From
Mexico" is concentrated in the prison
scene in the second act. where Benja-
min FitZhugh willie Collier) an or
dinary steady New Yorker is serving
sentence of thirty days for aggrav-
ated assault and contempt of court.
In this role Mr.. Collier is said to be ex-
cellent. The lock-step drill and
Stumbling gait he mimicks in a conf
cal manner, and in his interview with
the Warden, he ieeps his audience in
roars or laughter. In the last act he
