THIS EVENINGS DRAMA.

Results.

A Glance at the Work Done and Its
Results.
After many weeks of the most arduous
planning and preparation, the Roman
drama Is to be presented tonight. 1t has
been referred to as of great educational
value to the spectators; it has proved
even more educational to the students
who have worked out the innumerable
details of costume and accessories under
the direction of the head of the depart
ment. And the results are an ample JUS
tification of all the labor expended. The
scenes are brilliant and in many of their
features most impressive, and their effect
is greatly heightened by the beauty of
the setting. 1t ought to be again i'm
pressed upon the people of the vicinity
that nothing so elaborate, so artistic,
and at the same time so historically
faithful, has ever been attempted before
in this country. The stage itself will be
a revelation to those familiar with its
usual appearance. As one sits in the
audience and looks toward it he will see,
with the exception of a portion of the
floor, absolutely nothing hat he ever
saw before. 1t is a new creation, bril-.
liantly lighted, though not a light is Wis
ible, and stretching back to a seemingly
impossible distance, through the power
of the scene painters art. And when to
all this is added the grace and color of
the costumes and the intense interest of
the action itself, the whole is a series of
fascinating pictures that will long llnger
In the memory.
The seats have sold well were the affair
to be one of ordinary excellence, they have
sold exceedingly well. 1t is something
more than that, though-the issue will
prove that what has been said in these
columns was not in the least eXaggerat-
ed-and the sale ought to be much
larger. We are far from the artistic
centres; to encourage the enthusiasm
and enterprise that brings us this oppor-
tunity for exceptional art enjoyment,
the practical way is to extend our
patronage. This Is especially true when,
as in the present instance, the outlay eX-
ceeds by hundreds of dollars the greatest
return that can be hoped for. Surely
there is nothing mercenary in the under
taking. The remaining seats are just as
good as those that have been sold-the
back rows are in many ways better than
the rows ordinarily sought for, and it is
hoped that many more sittings will be
reserved before s o'clock tonight.
The librettos went on sale at Sterns's
Wednesday and are being warmly prais-
ed for their beauty and completeness.
They can be purchased at the ticket
office tonight, but a preliminary reading
is advised when that is possible.
All should be in their seats Lby s
o'clock. Positive instructions have been
given to the ushers to admit no one
while the first scene is being presented ;
as a consequence, those not In their plac-
es when the curtain rises will be COM
PEELED to remain in the vestibule some
fifteen minutes.

REED BOTHERs THEM =,

The position of Speaker Reed on the
Philippine question bothers the President
and other Republican leaders. They don't
know what TO make of 1t. 1t is well known
that the President has been trying to get
on the popular side of the question, and
it is doubtful if he is yet entirely satisfied
as to which is the popular side. In his
trips through the West and South his ut
terances in favor of holding tie islands
We're applauded, and he was led to believe
that the people wanted the government
to hold on TO the Philippines.
So many of the strong men of his own
party. however, and the great majority
of the Democrats having taken the posi-
ton that 1t would be a grave mistake TO
extend our sovereignty over the islands.
that lie has begun to doubt the correct
ness of his judgment And he knows that
Speaker Reed wants the Republican NOM
inaton for President next year.
This ambition of the speaker to be Pres
ident troubles a good many of the Repub-
lean leaders. They are afraid that he is
waiting to see beyond the question of a
doubt which is the popular side of the
Philippine issue before making a public
declaration OF his position in regard to
it. 1t is believed that he is against exer-
cising sovereignty over the Philippines.
but 1t is not a matter of much consequence
what his position in respect to the matter
is. so long as he does not state il pub
Ideally.
The fear Is entertained by Republican
leaders that he is preparing a surprise for
his party and the country-a surprise that
he hopes will greatly increase his chances
of being the next presidential candidate OF
his party. 1t is believed, and with some
show of reason, that the Philippine mat
ter is going 20 play an important part in
the next presidential contest. Evidently
AIR. Reed also thinks so.

SUNDAY LIQUOR SELLING.

A curious thing in connection with the
retail liquor business is that those en-
gagged in it prefer to risk losing their bus
mess altogether to obeying the laws made
for its restriction-laws which public sent-
ment demand For instance, they refuse to
obey the law against selling on Sundays
The result is that the sentiment in behalf
of prohibition is greatly strengthened.
A large majority of people are willing that
liquor shall be sold under certain restric-
lions, but they are not willing that il
shall be sold in accordance with the will
of the liquor dealers. The liquor dealers
win bring about the destruction of their
business themselves, and hence will de-
serve no sympathy.
The foregoing remarks are suggested by
the announcement of Senator Raines Of
New York that ne intends to have his
Sunday liquor law amended so as to pro-
hibit hotels. restaurants and clubs from
selling liquor on Sundays. The law now
permits the selling of liquors with meals
In about all of the cities of the state the
saloons have taken advantage of this pro-
vision of the law to continue their bust
ness on Sundays. Various means have
been adopted for evading the law. The
consequence VIII be, in all probability, that
liquor selling on Sundays in the state of
New York win be prohibited absolutely
And the law prohibiting liquor selling on
that day viii be enforced.
1t is regrettable that the retail liquor
dealers insist upon pursuing a course that
will result sooner or later in the destruc-
ton of their business If they would show
a proper regard for the Jaw they would
not be continually at war with The au-
thorlties.

WILL THEY OPPOSE THE BILLs

The newspapers of New York city are,
as a rule, against the bill carrying ap2rD-
prations for rivers and harbors. 1t will

spect to the bill that is now being framed.
1t is expected that the bill will provide
for deepening the harbor of New York
from it's present depth of thirty feet TO
thrty-fve feet, and it may be to forty
feet. from the Narrows to the sea. 1t is
estimated that for a channel of the depth
of thirty-hve feet and 1000 feet wide, the
cost will be $4,5O00O0 If it should be de-
cided to deepen the channel to forty feet
the estimated cost would be $66Ss, 600
1t is very seldom, however, that the cost
of such works is kept within the est-
mates. A forty-foot channel therefore
would, in all probability, cost $1O,OOO.OOo

that he will be unable for an indefinite

is sweeping-lack of ships, officers and en-

THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION APP
PROVED.


The Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depcw. who has
been elected to the United States Senate
from New York, and who is President
of the New York Central Railroad is a
strong believer in the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The very general belief is
that the railroads are hostile 10 the com
mission. In speaking of the kind of leg
islation that will meet his approval when
he takes his seat in the Senate, he said
in an interview, the other day: Il be-
lieve that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should be strengthened in its
power, its discretion and its judicial dig
nifty. 1t is one of the elements which is
rapidly solving the railway problem
1t ought to be source of satisfaction
that the railway problem is being solved.
and that the time is not very far distant
when there will be no such problem. Just
at present II is a very serious one for
those who own the roads and those who
manage them. Most of the roads find it
a difficult matter 10 earn enough to cover
expenses, necessary improvements and FIX
ed charges. Even a greater difficulty than
that is the maintaining of rates. The
struggle for business Is , terrific, and the
competition is so keen that only the roads
that are financially strong can stand it,
The weaker roads have to- give up the
struggle sooner or later and become parts
Of great systems. The lawmakers insist
that there shall not be either pooling Of
earnings or consolidation. Therefore the
roads. il they obey the laws strictly, must
eventually go into bankruptcy-that Is,
those of them which are not financially
strong enough to keep up the fight.
If Senator-elect Depew and the Inter
state Commerce Commission together
should be able to relieve the
railroads Of the difficulties under
which they now labor-dihiculties
which are forcing them into very few
great systems-they will do the country
a service for which they will be entitled TO
unbounded gratitude In the West tie
cause of the very large wheat and corn
crops of the last year, but who can say
that the present year will be as pros
porous? When bad year comes and
competition is keen. the stronger roads
will swallow a few more of the weaker
ones, and this process will go on until
there will be only two or three systems
in the whole country. Then there viii
be no railroad problem. The few systems
will find a way to avoid competition.
That would be a solution of the railroad
problem in which the Interstate Com
merce Commission and Mr.. Depew would
have no part.
