MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
METROPOLITAN

It is eminently appropriate that
"Humpty Dumpty'' should put in an APP
pearance in ST. Paul along in the holiday
season. Pantomime is a Christmas at
traction dating many years back in mel
low old England, and it was the broad
burlesque of its essentials that Charles
Dickens loved, and its chief exponent,
Grimalci, the clown, Of whom he wrote.
But Dickson and Mustards elaborate
spectacular production which opened last
night at the Metropolitan Is Humpty
Dumpty up to date. True, there are the
old time clown, harlequin, pantaloon and
columbine, and all the trick traditions are
not swept away, the merry fooling so
dearly loved by children. It is not the
Humpty Dumpty of George L. Fox, but
it is better today than ever, and the ccm-
pany presenting it satisfactory In quail
tty and quantity.
Maffit and Bartholomew played clown
and pantaloon in the old Theater Com
1que, in Boston, thirty-four years ago
Well, the same Bartholomew was last
night before st. Paul audience, and his
mfTthful art is none the less pleasing than
in his younger days. Without doubt
Eddie Mcdonald is the best acrobatic
clown now on the boards. His work in
the second act, the coral grotto scene
was excellent and won enthusiastic ap-
plause
The second act opens with a chancel
scene in church, and Mae Raymond, in a
rich contralto, sang a Voice from the
ChanceI' with an expression that won for
her most hearty encore. Miss Raymond
was quite lately the prima donna Of the
Castle Square Opera company. A pleas
ing feature is the acrcbatic dancing of
the Burdock sisters late of Orrin Broth
ers Mexican circus. Whatever is well
done is meritOrious, and certainly the lit
tie ladies are humble with their feet and
graceful in their figures. Joseph Smith,
harlequin, is the premier male dancer,
and in pas seul lie lac des Fees" he
proved heartily acceptable to all. Moa
and Goodrich, grotesque skaters, pro-
dUced considerable knock-about fun to
the great edification of all lovers of ath-
letics, and the Trocadero quartette are
we'll worth hearing in their droIl musical
turn.
Turning to spectacular effects one again
finds the modern "Humpty Dumpty' I'D
to date and ahead of the famous New
York production of the late George L.
Fox. Not then had electricity been har-
messed to the aid of such a mise en- scene.
and the vast difference is easily appre
ciated. The cave Of darkness, coral
grotto of light and closing transformation
are all dazzling and bewilder1ng In their
Kaleidoscope changes and Developments.
And for the next three days. including a
Wednesday matinee, the children can see
the laughing turtle, the fearful iabber-
wock, monsters OF the deep, uncanny
spirits and demons, and the clown will
put red hot irons irto his pocket and
slap pantaloon in the face with dead
fish just as he did seventy-fve years ago
Humpty Dumpty' will be seen only

TRADE EXPANSION IN CHINA.

An English member of parliament hail
Ing from the center Of the cotton manu-

low river valley, $50 miles inland from the
coast of China, expresses an opinion
which has special significance for Amer
lean manufacturers in view of the Nc
Comber resolution now, pending in the
United States senate. He says:
My visit is much appreciated by COM
mercial men out here. This is a mag
nltcent country, richer, with greater pos
Slbll1t1eS of trade expansion even than
anticipated. If the British government
only knew how gross a betrayal of the
future commercial interests of our coun-
try has begun, and is being made by their
criminal neglect to uphold our commercial
rights in the finest neutral market of the
world. | think even they would hesitate
to further continue their policy of drift.
I am sure L did the right thing in COM
tiers really stand. I am sick at heart
when face to face with the humiliating
position we occupy"

the appointment of two commissions by
the president, enc to investigate trade
conditions and possibilities in China and

HISTORY OF THE "RUBAIYAT.

An interesting article regarding the
work Of the genial old Persian poet and
number of quatrains of marked beauty
are found in the National Magazine The
writer says:
1T was in 1S59-just forty years ago
that Fitzgerald's now celebrated para
phrase Of the 'Rubaiyat' of Omar Khay-
yam made its first appearance in Eng
land.
sit was published anonymously, and Is
described by Bernard Quaritch the we'll
known London publisher, as a little, in
ignificant-lOOking, brown-paper-covered
pamphlet This first edition included
only seventy-1ve quatrains, and of the
little brown-paper- pamphlets
but $50 were printed. OF these Mr. Fitz-
gerald kept fifty and gave the remain
ing 200 to Mr. Quaritch, who sold a con-
siderable number Of them for l penny
each-for the simple reason that he could
get no more.
Remembering this fact it is interest
Ing to note that in 1898 a single copy
of this first edition was sold at auction
in London for q guineas. Yet the poem,
obscure and unattractive as was the
guise in which it first appeared, COM
manded a certain attention, and 1t is said
that Swinburne and D. G. Rossetti were
among its earliest admirers
