at Takes Place Amid New Scenes. ,

"It Takes Place Amid New Scenes"
The scene of the first act of "Zaza,"
David Belasco's latest and greatest
play, shows the stage behind the
wings, and the interior of one of the
dressing rooms in a provincial theatre
in France. The color, the movement,
hud the strangeness of this scene to
eyes not accustomed to scenes behind
the stage, has proven most interesting.
The different characters that con-
tribute to the vaudeville entertainment
which is supposed TO be taking place,
fit about the stage In their quaint,
and queer costumes, laughing, talking
| and joking with each other as stage
folks do, while they await the time for
| their appearance before the public.
The atmosphere of this act is most
| delightful, and it happily introduces
'Zaza," around whom the story re-
wolves, and gives the public an UNDER
standing Of why this girl who after
wards shows herself to he so noble,
| and so self-sacrifcing, is the gay, beau
tiful, butterfly creature, petted, spoiled,
thoughtless and needless, never takincs
time to think whether a thing was
right or wrong. even if she knew.
Mr. Belasco has especially selected
| and thoroughly rehcarsed the company
which will present the play in this
| city.
Mr.. Charles Frohman has provided
for the production of all Of the scenery.
properties and costumes which have
| contributed so material a feature to its
success in New York
And speaking of successes in New
York, there may be those who do not
know. although they must be few, that
''Zaza' has been the most triumphant
| dramatic success of the age. For al
most two seasons it has completely
filled the Garrick theatre in New York.
and hundreds have been turned away
unable to secure even standing room to
see the play It will be presented in
this city for the first time at the I.yl
ceum theatre, Monday evening, Oct.
30.

swindIing svudicates.

1t is probable that as long as there
are people who can invent schemes
by which other people are to get
something for nothing, or enormous
returns for very small investments,
Just so long will dupes be found, and
men and women will risk their savings
in the hope of acquiring sudden
riches.
The public has had a number of
sharp and severe lessons with get
rich quick" societies. and it would
seem that the experience which the
people had with these should have
proved sufficient to make them steer
clear of them. But with each new
scheme there crops up fresh lot of
lambs ready for the sacrifice.
The latest fleeing machine, which
has just been closed up in Brooklyn
by the police, and which was known
by the honest name of Franklin
Syndicate, promised to pay its patrons
at the rate of 500 per cent. per annum
on T0elf investments. he OueT VI
such preposterous gains should have
been sufficient to cause any one to
hesitate before investing their money.
But Judging from the record made by
the Syndicate, the money fairly
poured into the headquarters of this
latest swindling concern.
Whatever assets may have been
seized by the authorities it is certain
that but little of the money invested
will ever find its way back into the
pockets of the investors. The number
of investors is so large, and the avail
able assets seized are so small, that
the amount for each one will be in
significant. Those who have been
bitten will probably profit by their
experience.
1t has been, doubtless, in many OF
the cases, an illustration of the old
adage, "a fool and his money are
soon parted

ALMOST from the outset of the
British occupation of Cape Colony,
saws a writer in the Engineering
Magazine, there was friction between
the two main classes of settlers, who,
though distinctly of the same generic
stock, failed to assimilate in the
friendly manner Of the Dutch aud
English in the settlement of New
Amsterdam, called New York after
the transfer. The Beers have always
claimed, and honestly believed, that
they were oppressed; which asser-
tion impartial history cannot be said
to have sustained. Great Britain, at
least for more than a century, and
also at least as regards her white sub
jects, has been scTupulously careful
in dealing with colonial affairs. In
this instance, one grievance seems to
have been as to the abolition OF
slavery, which was suppressed at
about the same period in the British
West Indies on similar adjustment
The Beers, however, were incensed
on not receiving compensation salts
factory to them This, combined with
many other and pre-existing causes
real and imaginary (such as extreme
love Of personal and national inde
pendence, racial antipathy, divergent
customs and ways of thought) led tc
the further dispersion Of the Boeri
