don Caesar de Bazan" was placed on
view at the Forest Park theater by the
Frand Readick stock company last night
before an audience, which, although thor
oughly appreciatiye, was by no means
as large as the attraction deserved. The
piece was handled extremely well in every
detail and the work dc2e by the several
members of the cast was Of such nature
as to fully demonstrate the ability OF the
people with whom Mr.. Readck has sur
rounded himself The costumes worn were
historically correct and some of them were
very handsome the special scenery used
was entirely appropriate and, in short, de-
tails were so carefully looked after as to
give TO the production smoothness and
finish seldom seen under similar circum-
stances.

WANT REPRESENTATION IN TEXAS.
All the Big Lines Talk of Appointing
Commercial Agents Here.


Outside lines have long abstained from
establishing commercial agencies i'll Texas
The st. Paul, however, in view of coming
changes In the regulation OF Texas traffic
by the interstate lines leading from St
Louis. has determined to establish its
own commercial agent in Texas, and such
action will, of course. soon be followed
by competing lines in the North and
Northwest. Lines in the Southeast will
probably take similar action.
An Eastern authority says: The ap-
pointments of commercial and contracting
agents OF railroad lines of other States in
Texas to secure the routing OF business
over their respective lines Is plainly evil
dence of the increase of tonnage in the
state. and it naturally follows that neces-
sity demands the building OF roads and
extension of others to accommodate the
business. Regarding the prospects for the
balance OF the year all signs point toward
an increase in mileage possibly reaching
beyond that Of any of the other States.
There are in process OF construction about
1870 miles located and under survey. over
500: projected of some promise, 1000 miles.

ing of Texas has been the railroads Tho

A somewhat crOtchety Engiishman pass.
ed through Chicago recently, says the Chi
csgo News. He was professor OF some
ming or other and was out picking up
"wrinkIes' for home use of a hardy ma
ture. and Injured for outdoor life, he is a
great stickler for ventilation. The hotel
at which he stayed in Chicago was in
the Van Buren, street region, and the
house was SO full that the only sleeping
accommoda ton they could offer him was
part of a double-bedded room, which ne
the rear of the house, and. having been
previously used for storage purposes. con-
tanned numerous articles of furniture
which are not generally seen in bedrooms.
Moreover, It was dark and dingy and the
window was Of the old-fashioned sort with
small panes.
Al night, after having been in bed for
time, and the lights having been turned
out. me professor began to puff and blow,
and raising his head called to the occu-
pant of the other bed: Don't you think
it's terribly hot?'
Not at all replied the other; "to tell
you the truth, was feeling rather cod"
I'm sorry for that sighed the profess
sor, because 1 was going to ask if you
would mind the window being opened
little. It's so unhealthy to be without
ventilation"
Just as you like" said the man. III
open IT,"
Thanks, awfully." said the professor,
and the man jumped out of bed and CROPPED
his way to the window.
II can't raise it," said the man, after
tugging at the window for awhile
Then knock pane of glass out; Til
pay for it, urged the Englishman. I'm
suffoca ting"
The man laughed and obeyed; then re-
turned to bed and was soon sound asleep
Not so the professor. He was still over
come by the heat, real or imaginary, and
unable to bear the burden any longer,
quietly stole out of bed and managed to
break a second pane so cleverly that the
noise it made was not sufficient to dis
turb the slumber of the occupant of the
other bed.
"Ah, that is better, much better" said
the professor to himself. as he crept back
to bed He now could breathe and was
able to sleep.
Next morning ne was awakened by a
tremendous burst of laughter from his
roommate.
why. what's the matter?" cried the
professor, booking up through the gray
light of returning day
Don't you see how we ventilated the
room last night?" said the other. THE
panes that, were broken to admit the air
were the panes of a bookcase, and not in
the window at ALL
The professor paid for them, but during
the remainder of his stay he carefully
avoided bringing up the subject of ventila-
ton.

PROGRESS OF THE sOUTH.

Commenting on an article which APP
peared in the Morning News a few days
ago. in which the statement was made
that the farmers of the South were in a
better financial condition than they had
been for long time and that the country
banks had an abundance of money with
out borrowing from the banks of the cities
or from the North, the Troy Times says:
The North is profoundly pleased at this
proof of Southern progress, and especially
that the farmers of the South are receiv-
ing such rewards for their toll The mul-
DUPLICATION of industries in the South is
another factor most promising of benefit
to that locality. 1t has vast resources
still undeveloped but the work is going
on with rapidly, and before long 1t will
be one of the busiest and most thriving
sections of the country. New markets
are opening for st to the south and west,
and II Is so placed by nature that 1t must
inevitably be a vast gamer by the expan-
sion of American interests, possessions
and trade opportunities that is coming to
pass with amazing celebrity.
There are many evidences to be found
In the Northern newspapers that Northern
capitalists are becoming deeply impressed
by the growth of the material wealth of
beginning to realize that the South has
great advantages for manufacturing, and
they see that these advantages are being
utilized. The manufacturers of the North
keep track of the factory building in
the South. 1t is probable that they are
somewhat amazed at the number of cotton
factories which have been built within the
last year, and at the increase in the out
put of iron in Alabama, Tennessee and
Georgia. A great deal of Northern money
has come South within the last few years,
but the amount is small in comparison
with that which will come in the next few.
The more Northern capitalists wake up TO
the fact that the South is a rich field for
investment the greater the volume of
money will be which win flow into the
Southern states. 1t has not been so very
long since a great deal of the money that
was put into Southern cotton factories
was Northern money Such Is not the
case now. The South has money with
which to build factories and furnaces and
she is building them.
There was some apprehension that many
Southern men would be lured to cuba and
Porto Rico by the reports of the oppor
tunities to make fortunes quickly in those
islands. That fear is not noticeable now.
South offers better opportunities for the
accumulation of wealth than either Of
those islands.

A HOME FOR THE PRESIDENT.

1t is doubtful If the bill to enlarge the
White House, which Senator Cullom, If
Washington dispatches are to be credited
will introduce into Congress this winter,
will meet with much favor The country
is getting ready to build a bigger and q
much finer presidential residence than the
White House. but there is not yet a very
clearly defined opinion whether the resi-
dence and offices of the President should
be in the same building or not. For some
reasons the Presidents dwelling and his
workshop should be under the same roof
If he had a residence away from the ex-
ecutive offices the politicians would follow
him there, and he would have to have po-
licemen and doorkeepers and other public
servants at his home as well as at his Of
fee.
There is no doubt that the White House
is too small for the purposes for which il
is now used. Besides, it is not in keeping
with the greatness of the country The
Presidents family is crowded into a few
rooms. and the members of ii cannot go
out or come in without coming In contact,
to some extent, with all sorts of people.
If the whole of the White House were Civ
en- up to the Presidents family all of it
would be occupied on special occasions.
The question of building a residence for
the President mile or so away from the
White House and keep the latter building
for executive offices has been discussed for
a long time by congressman, but such rad
ical differences of opinion have been dis
covered that it has been thought imprac-
teal 10 undertake to deal with the sub
ject until there is a consensus of opinion
as TO what should be done
Ii may be that Senator Cullom's bill
will cause a discussion that viii make ii
clear to Congress what the people want
done in the matter. 1t is safe to say. how
ever, that there will be a great deal of op-
position to removing the Presidents resi-
dence from the White House If the resi-
dence and executive offices of the Presi-
dent are TO be separated, public sentiment
will likely favor keeping the White House
for the Presidents private residence and
building executive offices elsewhere.

TRUTH FROM ONE WITNESS.

We have sold all along that the best way
to fight trusts Is to attack the Mckinley
Dingley tariff. Put the tariff on a reve-
nue. basis and trusts will find 1t difficult
10 survive Mr.. Havemeyer, president OF
the American Sugar Refining Company
about the biggest trust in the country said
that the tariff is the mother Of trusts
and evidence is cropping out all the time
that what he said is true.
Mr.. william H. Griffith, tin plate max
er of Washington, Pa, was before the
Congressional Industrial Commission one
day last week, and gave the commission
some interesting facts about the tin plate
trust He said that the trust was capt.
talized at 100000, and that all of us
plants could be duplicated for $2'OO0'"0.
The trust, however. is paying big diyi-
sends on this immense capital When the
trust got possession OF all of the tin plate
plants in the country it closed about 20
per cent of them. and Immediately put
up the price of tin plate from $3.50 to $4.65
per box. There was good profit Mr..
Griffith said at $3.50 box. He declared
that the plant with which he was con
nected made 20 per cent. when tin plate
was sold at that price.
Both labor and materials are higher
now, and perhaps 10 make a profit a
higher price is necessary. He thought
that 1884 per box would yield handsome
profit at the present time. The prevailing
price. however, is away above that And
the tin plate manufacturers are able TO
keep the price enormously high because
OF the protective tariff.
The tin plate manufacturers insisted
upon higher tariff when the Mckinley
Dingley tariff was being considered. They
said that they could not live under the
Wilson tariff. 1t is a fact, however that
at that time they We're building new mills
all the time. No better evidence is needed
to show that the high protective tariff on
tin plate enables the trust to force the
people to pay an enormously high price
for tin plate. Cut down the tariff to A
revenue basis and the trust could not pay
dividends on its $5O,OOO,OOO of watered stock,
Trusts are crushing the life out of the
business of the country. They are not
only compelling consumers to pay higher
prices Tor their products, but they are IN
juring business of all kinds. Take for in
stance the banking business in this Sec
ton of the South. Many independent fer
tilizer plants gave much business to the
banks. They had to have money and the
notes they received from their customers
went into the banks for collection. Now,
however big trust controls the fertilizer
business and all that business will be
handled by the trust through one bank
at its headquarters, either in Richmond or
New York This fertilizer trust will not
only put up the price of fertilizers, but it
viii injure business in every town in
which there was a fertilizer plant that it
absorbed.
Judging from what Senator Hanna said
in the Ohio campaign, the Republican
party intends to deal very tenderly with
trusts in the campaign next year. The
Democratic party can do no wiser thing
than to take its stand against trusts It
can afford to rest it chances of winning
the election on that one issue.

Mutually Agreeable.

On one of the recent warm days a sour
visaged, middie-aged, fusy woman got on
one of the smoking seats on an open car
in the subway, says the Boston Transcript.
Next to her sat a man who was smoking
a cigar, More than that, the woman
smiling, made out that the man had been
eating onions. Still more than that she
had the strongest kind of suspicion that
he had been drinking beer. The woman
fused and wrggled and grew angrier.
and looked at the man scornfully. Present.
ly she could endure it no longer. She
looked squarely at him and said:
III you we're my husband, sir, I'd give
you dose of poisonl'
The man looked at her "If were your
husband" said he. I'D take it,!
