grave, but in his quiet life and study
has found some strong evidence upon
which to base the hope for a future ex-
iStence.- He gives credit to whatever
good there is in any creed or religion,
and grants sincerity to their prophets.
Politically, this merchant is a strong
protectionist, both on the tariff and
American labor. He would ameliorate
the condition of intelligent American
workingmen by keeping out of this
country the hordes of foreign paupers
who now crowd our shores. Likewise,
he argues, a high protective tariff is
advantageous, since it builds up indus
tries in this country, and keeps money
at home instead of being sent abroad to
purchase manufactured articles. In his
belief wealth is an important element
co ones happiness. and should be dill
gently sought after by the poor man.
The important thing for families to do
is to be economical and deprive them
selves of whatever gives no substantial
returns, expending their savings to Sc
cure better homes, the uplifting influ-
ence of music and the enrichment of
reading and education.

something new and funny in all these
years? Now, there's one Hebrew team
the Cohans-which plays in my thea
tire quite often and always scores. There
/ are four of them, and the youngest one,
a boy still under 20, in addition to writ
| ing all the material which they them
selves, has written no fewer than
eighteen successful sketches for other
variety actors. He has made such a
name for himself in this line that all
the big variety stars who are too lazy
to think for themselves come to him to
be measured for their sketches, as they
would for a suit of clothes. 1t amuses
me to hear people express surprise at
the success which a certain team of
variety actors has achieved as mana
gers of their own company. Those boys
have worked for me on and off for
twenty years, and the very first time
they played with me I realized that
they We're going to achieve a whole lot
They were witty, and they never missed
a chance of introducing some local allu-
sion that would make a hit with the
house. When variety actor gets pop
ular he can feed his audience on old
jokes for just about as long as his per-
sonality can carry him. Then suddenly
one day he awakes to find himself a
back number
Irish sketches have been so done to
death that, unless they are exception
ally good, audiences don't take to them
now. The negro sketch is not dead: it's
only sleeping. 1 would rather have a
really good coon sketch for my theatre
than any attraction l could find, but
they are hard to get, as many of the
old-time MINISTRIES have grown so high
toned that they prefer to take less
money and appear in white face The
rage for Jew specalties will not last,
although Jew stories on the stage will
always be popular. Funnily enough.
there is no one who enjoys Jew story
more than the Jews do themselves. AS
a class, they are much more ready to
laugh at themselves than the Irish are
But the chief reason why I think there
will be revival of the old-time negro
speciality is the fact that in all parts of
the country music-hall audiences are
rebelling against the German dialect
performers. There are three or four
men in the business who are successful
in this line, but the great horde of imi-
tators have driven this particular dia-
lect into the ground"

The last few seasons have brought
about such a tremendous change in the
nature of musichaIl humor that it is
hard TO say which is the deader of the
two-the stage negro or the stage Irish
man. One fact alone is self-evident
The stage Hebrew is still on top, and
it is he who, by his natural originality
and cleVerness, has helped to put many
a nail in the collins of his two rivals.
How often nowadays in a first=class
music hall do you see what is known
as "burnt-cork artist" Willis Sweat
nam is the only one that can be re-
membered at the moment who con-
tinues to furnish the people with orig
inalities. Lew Dockstader used to do
so, but of late he has gone into the
wholesale chestnut business, so that he
threatens even 10 rival Mr.. Press Ell
driqge in this respect.
There are more colored performers on
the stage than ever before, but their
wit lies in their feet, and, apart from
certain Delsartian sort of fun which
they manage to throw into their cake
walks, they make no attempt at hui
NOR. Then, again. there never was
such rage for coon" songs as there
is at the present time. But that proves
nothing. The men and women who
make the greatest hits in singing these
songs appear almost invariably in
white face, while. as for the stage
1rishman, his fate is even worse. There
are two actors who can still make a
comic 1rishman endurable TO an aud
fence. One is John T. Kelly and the
other John Sparks. and even these two
artists sometimes have a hard row to
hoe nowadays in trying to raise a
laugh. A good Irish song viii always
win immediate favor. but since the
deaths OF Harry Kernel and Kelly, the
Rolling Mill Man, the irish sidewalk
conversationalist" has become more or
lass OF back number For every good
Irish or negro story that Is told on the
stage at present, you hear at least ten
good Jew jokes. This may be small

and Frank Farr were arrested last
evening on a charge of burglarizing
the resort at Riverside park. The first
charge against them was disturbing
the peace, they having imbibed a con-
siderable quantity of liquor taken from
the saloon. Later plumber was discov-
cred in the barn of Lorin Farr, grand
father of two of the boys. and this led
to their arrest on the charge of bur-
glary. The case was worked up jointly
by the sheriffs office and the police de-
partment. Wallie Farr has one charge
of burglary pending against him now,
he being out on bond.

wind is blowing, and it is only another
I demonstration of the undeniable fact
/ that the Hebrew is fast monopoliZing

affairs. As theatrical managers the

Owe Success to Their Humor.
The most successful burlesque COM
pany that America has known in the
I last ten wears is run by the Hebrews
wao, although they hire playwrights
10 write their burlesque, owe most of
the fun in them TO their own sense of
humor. the actress who, as heavy
woman OF a stock company, ranks both
as beauty and an actress among the
prime faVorites of the day is a Jewess,
and only dropped her own name when
she took to the stage because her man
ager feared that her name might han
dioap her chances of success.
In speaking of this matter, a for
eigner who has been making a close
study of the American stage this sea-
son remarked:
The hardest thing for a stranger to
discover is what you Americans mean

This is. of course, an extreme view.

timony OF the manager of a variety
theatre who probably Knows more about
variety actors and their methods than
any ten other men in town.
Hebrews Forging to the Front.
1T is perfectly true that the Hebrew
is forging to the front in the theatrical
world, said he. He deserves to. Not
only is he naturally clever, but he
throws himself heart and soul into his
work. IL you know anything about
variety actors, you must be aware that
they are about as lazy a class as exists.
Let performer once secure a sketch
that makes a hit, and he is content to
play II year after year. Now, look at
the Russell brothers. for instance They
are playing the same sketch that they
were playing eighteen years ago. It's a
good sketch, l admit, and their excuse
for still playing it is that they cannot
get another one as good. But do you

TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY.
Preacher Denounced In Church Dur
ing His Sermon.

Milwaukee, Wis, May PA Sentinel
special from Calumet, Mich. says that
city is all excitement over a sermon
delivered by the Rev. H. G. Hunter at
the First Congregational church today.
The Rev. MIR. Hunter took occasion TO
criticise the national administration
for its Philippine policy, and it's course
during the Spanish war.
Charles Tomma, a volunteer in the
Thirty-fourth Michigan. who was in
the audience, interrupted the pastor,
saying:
ANY man who talks like that is a
traitor to his country and his flag, and
L refuse to listen to him."
He then left the church.
