Bon Ton Theatre.

''The Gay Masqueraders'' will be the
attraction at the Bon Ton this week. The
name of this company is a rad mark
for novelty. Special talent has been
brought to bear to make it the reigning
triumph of the season in burlesque. A
picked company of pretty girls with good
voices lend valuable assistance to the
principals. THE Congress of Nations
opens the performance. One of the most
exciting and thrilling performances is
Adgie and her den of lions. Among
others are McCale and Daniels. the Cali
fornia. Quartette. Budd Snyder. the
Clark Sisters. Maud Treat. the Everett
Sisters. the Murphys, Brown and Camille,
and Mile de Rossett. The concluding
bvrlesque is entitled 1.-THE French Girl in
Greater New York"

occasion demands warfare.
There are a good marx lawyers and
bright politicians who believe that as
soon al Charles a. Reed is elected Presi-
lent q the Senate on Tuesday, he will
become Acting Governor. It Is held that
the recent decision Of the Supreme Court
sustaining the resignation of Acting Gov
ernor Voorhees, and the authority of
Speaker of the House Watkins in the
exercise of the functions of that office
also made plain the fact, that the incom-
ing President of the Senate must needs
become the Acting Governor until the
actual Governor takes the oath of office
on Tuesday of next week. That would
make Reed Acting Governor for a week.
On the other hand, however. It Is con-
tended that under the Courts interpreted
ton of the constitution Speaker Watkins
must continue to act as Governor until
the regularly elected Executive is inaug-
urated. 1t Is generally understood, how
ever, that the Speaker will continue as
the Acting Chief Executive until Voor-
hees takes the chair.

way for the late triumphs of American

tion. ought to sit up a night or two to
study yesterdays New York papers. They
migh read, with great profit, the long
statement by Clara Barton in the
HERALD and when they had finished It
they might turn to the Journal and read
Colonel Allison's evidence before the IN
vestigating, Commission. and the account
given of efforts made to muzzle General
Miles and prevent him from telling what
he knew about the embalmed army beef.
Colonel Allison pronounced the some
body's sons who acted as commissaries,
Their work. he said, could
not be surpassed as an Illustration of 1.-The
blind leading the blind. There existed
among them "a reckless disregard OF the
most ordinary precautions" regarding the
soldiers food. Some of the soldiers knew
more thar the McKinley-Alger gang OF
officers and protected their W beef.
But the volunteers, who were not ex-
perienced campaigners, were literally
starved and poisoned with the purified
stuff.
Now,~it looks as if the revelations re-
garding the army beef would have a
ruinous effect upon our export trade in
meats. Attempts are being made to blame
General Miles for this and to make it an
excuse for secrecy in respect to the army
scandals in general. This is quite char
acteristic OF the administration But the
public will not he easily blinded. The
crime is not attachable TO those who ex-
pose it. but to those who committed it.
MISS CLARA BARTON is one of the
most remarkable women of the age. That
she knows her field of work is as indis-
putahia- as that she is single-minded of
purpose and benevolent of heart. There
fore her evidence can be questioned
neither on the plea of Ignorance nor bias.
Her narrative has been written as a
feature of a history of the Red Cross
movement which is shortly to be pub
lished. AS the Herald says, it is a
thrilling, almost a grewsome narrative.
It must remain for the Wal Investigating
Commission to fix the blame for the mis-
which she pictures. Every
candid reader,' the HERALD adds. will
rise from the perusal of the book with the
fixed impression that had it not been for
the aid cheerfully extended by the Red
Cross and ~grudgingly accepted by the
military authorities, the loss of life and
health at Siboney and Santiago would
have been well nigh unparalleled in the
history of modern warfare
