kernan's-"The Gay Masqueraders."
The promise of joviality and spiciness
embodied in the name, together with the
excellent reputation the show has always
enjoyed, brought two exceedingly large au-
diences TO Kernan's yesterday, when The
Gay Masqueraders" appeared at that house
That both assemblies felt repaid for their
trouble was demonstrated by the enthusi-
asm which the performance evoked. Two
burlesques Columbia Forever" and NC
Nulty and the Model" opened and closed
the bill, while in between there came one
of the most attractive olios ever presented
here Its chief feature was contributed by
the Kinsners whose equilibristic feats are
nothing short of marvellous. Then there
appeared Bud Snyder, a remarkable bicy-
clist: the Murphys, in a laughable sketch;
Nick Brown and LYDIA Camille, whose per-
formances on the cornet proved thoroughly
enjoyable The California Four" neat
dancers" Mabel Carew, whose songs were
| heartily applauded; McCale and Daniels,
comedians par excellence, and Cooke and
Mais, who followed their illustrated songs
with a moving picture representation of the
Sharkey- Mccoy fight.

the Lafayette and appeared before an en-
thusiastic assembly as the zero of 'owling

of Dumas THE Three Musketeers," which
goes under the title of The Kings Mus
keteer,' is as blood dthunder an affair
as ever graced the stage of Londons Adel-
phi or of New Yorl's modern Star Theatre.
And were the production not fitted out Law
ishly as regards scenery and costumes
were it headed by any less person than
Mr.. Sothern one of these famous houses
would have had the presentation, and the
applause heard so frequently during the
evening would not have been muffled by
kid gloves.
Mr.. Hamilton's newest effort deserves
precedence over the versions arranged by
Waller and Grundy because of its modern
ness of construction and because the love
story in which D'Artagnan is now made
to figure places him in a position of domi-
nant prominence. All the old dash and
color and spirit of the piece is retained
with fineness of characterization that
has heretofore been lacking. But the Incl
dents newly introduced are so boldly SEN
| sational, the manner in which they are Civ
en- is so noisy, and the lines by which they

lavishness of the plays fittings permits

Observation-Disclosures"

There are some plays in which the
touches of humanity are so broad and the
interest surrounding the principal char
acters so un1agging that the most griev-
Gus faults in construction, conyentionality
and simplicity of plot and even the intro
duction of people utterly foreign in their
sympathies and sentiments does not in
terfere with the enjoyment of audiences.
Such production is Henri Lavedan' s
Catherine, which Annie Russell and her
company presented so competently last
night at the National Theatre that not even
the most critical could find anything to
condemn in the offering until the final cur
tain had fallen and the charmed senses
had given way to the reasoning sense.
Catherine is not a great work and 1t
is not drawn upon great lines. M. Lave
dan is enthusiastically Gallo writer
and some of his worst marks have been re-
tanned in this effort while his better ones
have suffered in the translation Thus
many CT the personages whose actions go
to make up the story are rather inexplica
bic to Americans, and conditions that might
easily have been comprehended in this
country have been so strange to the French
public that the author has found it nee
essary to explain them at great and some
times wearisome length. Thus also the
original dialogue has been greatly marred

breakfast is at about S, Your dinner at

The landlady usually does the mar
keting and is in almost every instance
scrdpulously honest in returning your
change. and she probably can buy
cheaper than you can. But as the Eng

of the landlady to cook, or you can take
part of your meals elsewhere.

Keep strict account of your expenses
and often reckon them up in dollars, as
you will find that your weekly expense
will he $15 or $16.
Sometimes two or three young ladies
or other persons club together and in
that way reduce rent at least. Make all
stipulations regarding your domestic
affairs before you take the rooms For
instance, reserve the right to make
your own coffee, etc.
The landlady will agree before you
take the rooms and keep her agreement,
but beware how you encroach thereaft-
er. Life in lodgings is Independent, and
having your private table is pleasant,
and if you choose to live on bread.and
cheese and tea it is all right if you will
only allow your landlady to prepare
them for you, and she will respect you
as much as if you lived extravagantly.

THE PROSPERITY ISSUE.

The Republican party made ''pros-
perity" it's leading issue in the Presi-
Dental campaign in 1892. Although
it had neither Mr.. Hanna nor the
trusts to load down the ticket that
year, everybody remembers what
happened to Mr.. Harrison.
Now that the trusts are charging
workingmen and farmers from % to
80 per cent more for the necessaries
of life than was charged in 1892; !;
with property in the hands of the
people daily depreciating in value as
result of the change of the standard
of money, and with the curse of Han
naism upon the ticket, the Republi-
can managers are going to risk an
other campaign upon the prosperity
issue.
1t will be losing game.
Whatever degree of prosperity is
enjoyed by America today is shared
in common by all the nations
which have not been devastated by
causes beyond human control.
Americas prosperity has come in
spite of the retroactive effects of the
gold standard, enormous taxation for
the benefit of the trusts, and the
blunders and extravagances of the
Administration.
American people have the intelli-

OUGHT TO ELECT MCLEAN.

Senator Jones, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
who will shortly return home from
Europe, has authorized the following
statement:
1.-the Democratic party, in the next
presidential campaign, will fight OH
a platform of anti-imperialism, free
silver, anti-trusts and the reduction
of tariffs. These, 1 believe, win be
unequivocally indorsed by the con-
vention. Other issues will be met as
they arise.
personally believe in giving the
Filipinos absolute self-government
and in telling the world to keep its
hands off them.
"Wm. J. Bryan will surely be the
Democratic nominee for President.
Goebel is the regular nominee of the
Kentucky Democrats, and therefore
should be supported.
Mclean, by his splendid service
to the party in 1898, ought to carry
everything in Ohio"
Democrats who have the principles
of their party at heart will have no
reluctance in endorsing Senator
Jones' sentiments.

The Sad Casr of the Young Woman

A most embarrassing experience was
that of certain West Philadelphia

attended reception, in which a num-

we're several who had found the matri-
monial yoke an unwelcome one for
various reasons and had obtained legal
separation from their husbands To one
of these women, quite unwittingly,
having just been introduced, the young
woman, who is nothing if not vivacious
and conversational, addressed the ques-
ton:
''By the way, Mrs. R., don't you
think divorce is wrong?" The woman,
reddening slightly, replied:
"My dear, there are two sides to that
question. Perhaps you have not heard
my story.

measure, stammered an excuse and
walked away. To the first woman she

Some Timely Suggestions For Pro-

Especial Correspondence
LONDON, Sept. 12.-When f-om any
reason any A. ricans wish to ''take
lodgings" in London, the first thing
they should do is to get full under
standing of the fact that . shillings is
dollar worth and pound So; other
wise they are liable to become very ex-
travagant. Later penny will look big
ger than shilling did at first. 1t is
hard to overcome the feeling that the
unit of a pound means more than the
dollar unit, and so in looking for lodg.
ings 20 and 80 shillings week is about
the average of decent little parlor with
small bedroom furnished. But, put
into American, it would mean. from
$50 to $50 month rent for those two
small rooms. with coal gas, attendance
and the washing of the bed linen all
extra OF course there are cheaper and
dearer places.
These prices obtain in and about
Bloomsbury, which is within a short
distance of the British museum and
other places that Americans like to
visit Near Regents park there are also
thousands of lodgings, and the aver
age price and accommodations exist
there also.
The food supply is the next question.
Usually the landlady markets for her
lodgers, taking their orders for each
separate meal during the day, for it is
rare that provisions for more than one
day are made, except Sunday. 1t is
curious to the newcomer to see the way
of marketing, and she feels as though
it would cost next to nothing to live in
London when she sees little dab of
butter on a cabbage leaf for "tup-
pence, - roll or bun for penny,
loaf for ''thrippence' or more. accord
ing to size. one mutton chop for about
fvepence, a penn orth of milk and
ha penny bunch of cress, which alto
gether forms your breakfast. with pot
of strong tea Or couple of eggs at
''tuppence' and jar of bitter orange
marmalade. But never ask for coffee,
for the British lodging house keeper cam
not make coffee fit to drink. Few pota-
toes are served and still fewer vegeta-
bles.
There are no okras, no eggplants, no
beets, yellow turnips, white beans or
corn. Green peas and asparagus, salad
cress and tomatoes, cabbage, onions and
white turnips are all the vegetables
they use, and all are very dear in COM
parison with meats, and that, I sup
pose, is why the Englishman falls back
on cold beef, beer and cheese and bread
In the way of made dishes puddings,
cakes and tarts are about all that the
lodger can get, Fresh fruit is very
dear, even in the best seasons.
In lodgings you are expected to have
