WHERE Is THE sTAFFs

Where is the staff. the worthy stan. that
but a month ago
Marched up before the cashiers desk on
Tuesday in a row.
A handsome row, a mighty row, an intels
lectual line,
The best that ever stormed bank one mins
ute after nine?
The man who did the railroads left the
very first of oil
To cast his lot by Tampas shores, whore
gulf waves break and fall
And with him went the art-room's king
with camera and plates
To view the battle from a-near, defiant
of the fates.
And then to Old Point Comfort, where the
fortress cannons frown,
Sped he who used to hustle round for
''features3 I'M the town;
Meanwhile the artist of the dug was sailing
far away
On board a Yankee man-of-war that
sought Manila bay.
The rowing man just getting home from
an Australian quest
Then packed his little typewriter and
started for Key West,
Whereat the. labor editor bid all Of W
farewell
And went to distant Springfield. with
Camp Tanners flock to dwell.
Then he whose tales of city life oft caused
the eyes to melt
To sympathetic tears went down to camp
with Roosevelt
And he whose Luetgert stories were 90
worthy took a boat
And with the bold dramatic man set mer.
rily af1oat.
They are all gone; our worthy staff Ii
scattered far and wide
Some sleep in Chickamauga, some in Texas
tents abide,
And only we poor special folk unhonored
and unsung
Remain wretched home guard, with ouI
hearts by envy wrung.
We pound away in gloomy peace; our lives
are but a blank;
We almost feel ashamed to go on Tuess
days to the bank;
We write our dismal book reviews and our
financial stuff
And swear that fate is treating US super.
latively tough.
We grind out editorial and stories Of the
Streets
And baseball chat and essays, on the, latest
naval feats,
And fierce, heroic verse and joke and Jest
and paragraph
But all the time we're sick to be OF with
the rowing staff.

The Pocket Nerve in Paris

1t is the misfortune of France that its
recognized head is Paris and the most no.
ticeable voice of Paris is that Of the boule-
ward journals. These have been proved
again and again to be hopelessly venal and
corrupt. The only way to touch people of
that sort is through the pocket. 1t may be
well for the United States to let them uus
derstand by the pocket nerve that we do
not care to continue spending hundred
millions or more per year in French Luxe
uries and be insulted and vilified while do
ing so.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Adrienne Lecouvreur

A performance of scribe and Legouve's s
"Adrienne Lecouvreur" at the Comedie
Franz aise late in April was particlarly in
teresting, because one of the authors of
the famous play, Legouve, who is ninety
one years old, was present, accompanied
by his daughter, Nine. Desvallieres, and
his granddaughter, Mme Paladihe. 1t is
gravey staoted that the set of scenery
used in the last act nowadays at the
Comedie Is the same as that employed in
the first performance of "Adrienne" in
1S49. OF course 1t has been repainted. 1t
is in this play that Modjeska will be seen
in this city, possibly next week.

A Moral Theater Project

A movement in favor of a so-called
''moral theater" has begun to have effect
in Italy. The Pope is said to have contri-
buted $4,000 for the building of such a
theater in Rome, and 100000 has been
promised In Milan for the same purpose
Not alone moral dramas will be given
in Milan, but operas of the same sort, and
priest has already composed one for the
purpose. Most of the Italian plays written
today are pessimistic, psychological, and
in many cases fiagrantly and unnecessarily
immoral. The dramatists of that coun-
try in their discussions of social problems
have gone much farther than the French.

cational agency has been much written
up and on the other hand often derided
In Germany since the time of Schiller says
an eastern journal, the idea has been quite e
general and has in recent years produced
practical results in the shape of repre-
sentations for the special benefit of pupils
or the common schools. At Hamburg
5000 children were three times dn January
FEBRUARY and March, taken to the Stadt
theater where such plays as civilian
Tell, THE Maid of Orleans" and "Minna
Won Barnhelm" were given with an excel
| lent assignment of parts. The seating ca
pacity of the house being 20OO, each play
mad to be given four times. The price of
admission had been put at cents, and
Wnen 1t was found that some children
could not afford even this small amount
they were provided with tickets at the
expense of beneficent citizens. 1t is IN
teresting to read in the Hamburg Jugend-
Warte the favorable expressions of teach
ers concerning the influence of these en-
tertainments upon their pupils they may
be summed up in the words of one of them;
The school representations are an edu-
cational instrument of the first rank" At
Leipzig and Breslau, and probably in other
cities, similar advantages are offered to
the pupils of the upper classes of the
Nolks-schulen, though not on as generous
a scale as at Hamburg
had something to say last week about
municipal encouragement of the theater.
Here is the latest from over the water:
London is to have a new school for dra-
matte instruction in connection with the
Guldhall school of music on the Thames
embankment. The building is of white
stone, three stories in height, and classical
in design. On the ground floor there will
be theater fitted with every modern i'm
provement, with seating accommodation
for 800 persons. The stage will be fitted
with all the latest mechanical appliances
In the orchestra there will be room for
forty instrumentalists. The floors over the
theater will be occupied by class rooms and
dressing apartments, and access to them
will be obtained by an electric elevator In
the theater practical instruction will be
given in every branch of dramatic art
Drama. tragedy and comedy will each be
dealt with. The student will have to pass
through course of study extending over
specified period, at the end of which will
be an examination. Diplomas will be
awarded to successful candidates. In ad-
dition to the regular courses, classes will
be held in special subjects connected with
theatrical art such as department. gesture
stage fencing. etc. The corporation of Lon
don has contributed 922,O0O towards the
enterprise.
Modjeska's season opens at the Burbank
next week. and promises to furnish the
finest entertainment of the kind that has
been seen here for a long time. The COM
pany has been strengthened by the addition
of Lester Lonergan and Olive Oliver and
some other important acquisitions, and will
apparently be quite adequate tn the re-
quirements. The stage setting at the Bur-
bank is always excellent. so that nothing
should prevent a most acceptable rendition
Of Modjeska's favorte plays.
