HARRY MINER IS HERE.
WelI-Known Theatrical Man Dis
cusses Greater New York.

Harry Miner, the prominent theatrical
manager and proprietor, who represented
the Ninth District in the Fifty-fourth
Congress, has come to this coast on a
business and pleasure trip combined and
is registered at the Palace. Mr.. Miner
enjoys the unique distinction of having
been the only Democrat elected in New
York in 1894, when David B. Hill and
nineteen others were defeated. AS Mr..
Miner puts it that was the year Tam
many was sunk" There were but three
other Democratic Congressman from the
State, and they were Amos Cummings,
George B. Mcclellan and William Sultz-
ner.
Mr.. Miner is the proprietor of five
theaters in New York City. the Fifth
avenue, Peoples, Eighth-avenue, Bowery
and Miners New York. He has six shows
on the road and in all employs 1900 people.
He has been actively engaged in the
theatrical business for twenty-seven
years, and he will shortly retire and
leave his interests in the hands of trust
ed lieutenants. He is a great admirer of
Richard Croker, whom he considers the
greatest organizer of the day and man
whose word is his law. When inter
viewed yesterday Mr.. Miner had this to
say:
1.-THE municipal government under the
able leadership of Mayor Robert Van
Wyck is successful from every point of
view, Notwithstanding that failure was
predicted for it. Improvements of great
magnitude are now being contemplated,
and under the guidance of Van Wyck,
who is a liberal and progressive man. the
improvements will be carried out Five
new bridges will be built across East
River from New York to Brooklyn. to
Queens and to Williamsburg in the east
ern district. This is becoming a neces-
sity by reason of the immense traffic be-
tween the points named. A system of
underground railways will be running
from the Battery to Harlem to relieve
travel on the elevated roads. We have
now an underground electric street rail-
way system throughout New York City,
and one can ride eleven miles in any
direction for a single fare of cents We
intend to make New York the grandest
city in. the world.
when L was in Congress was greatly
interested in the international copyright
law, introduced by Amos Cummings. AL
though we experienced almost insur-
mountable obstacles we finally succeeded
in having the bill passed, and it has
proved a great boon to struggling au-
thors and theatrical managers. 1t has
prevented the taking down of plays in
Shorthand and selling the pirated copies.
The offense is a misdemeanor and the
perpetrator is severely punished

of them. While I do not deny that I
have my individual preference, 1t is not
for me but for the regents to decide. We
do not desire to extend the presidency to
any one who might refuse it, and you
can rest assured that when the man is
selected ii will be one who will accept the
high Office with its great responsibilities.
The question of the election of presi-
dent for the university will come up at
the April meeting of the board of regents,
and 1t is expected that a successor to
Professor Martin Kellogg will be chosen.
Professor Kellogg's resignation took eff

repeated the solemn words that made
them one.
The brides gown was Of pure white
mousseline and was destitute of any orna-
ment. The fleecy folds of the bridal veil
completely enveloped the graceful figure.
A wreath of natural orange blossoms fast
ened the veil to the couture
The only departure from the extreme
simplicity that characterized the entire
affair was in the matter of floral embel-
lishments. Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson of
Santa Clara, uncle and aunt of the bride,
sent up a carload Of choicest blossoms.
