RULING ON SHIRT WAISTS.

Sunday Chicago Times-Herald.
An imitation shirt waist man went to
McVicker's theater last evening to help
celebrate the opening of the season He
soon wished he hadn't gone, and incident
ally he was the occasion for a formal
ruling on the shirt waist question by
Manager Lift.
The man appeared, bought ticket and
went into the house. He was wearing his
coat over a negligee shirt and belt, but
when he got inside he hung his coat over
his arm and strolled leisurely down the
aisle to his seat. 1t took about three min
utes to put him outside. There he was
offered his money back, he was offered
check for another performance, or any
other accommodation that he wanted He
would have none of it; and when he
found he was out finally for the night, he
went away breathing threats of damage
suits.
This is Manager Lifts dietum: 1.-THE
real shirt waist is all right here, but no.
body can begin taking off his clothes in
the theater, for we don't know where
he'll stop. If he comes with a coat he
must wear a coat. Otherwise who knows
but collars and neckties will go next, and
where will we be-"
The performance of the evening was
''Way Down East presented by Will
liam A. Brady, and it took well with the
audience, that was remarkably large con-
sidering the heat of the evening. Almost
all the seats We're sold before the per-

THE BABIES BEDTIME.

Sweet are children in the morning, I'm the
afternoon or night,
In their dainty frocks Of red and blue OE
gowns of simple white;
In their play up in the play room in this
yard or on the lawn,
But they're sweetest when It's bedtima
and they get their ''nighties" on.
Little ghosts of white a-romping Ger ths
bed and through the room,
In the season Of a lifetime they're this
rosy month OF June;
Little ghosts of white a-marching to the
music Of their laugh,
And the one who ere would miss II see5
in life its minor half.
Little curls a-dangling, frowsy-to the
heads a fitting wreath,
Little gowns a-hanging loosely and the
peeping feet beneath;
Merry monarchs of the household and
their love as Is the fawn,
And they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they got their 'nighties" on.
Oh. the clear notes OF their laughter and
the patter Of their feet
AS they romp and chase each other IN
the game Of hide and seek
Gives a hint or faint suspicion OF the
world that 1t to be,
For the Master taught US, saying: "Suf-
fer these TO come to me-"
Soon fatigue o'ercomes the players and
the white brigade IS still,
And the Now / lay me" whispered with
a pleading and O will!
Oh, the wee tots are in slumber and their
dreams are in repose,
For the clearness Of a conscience rivals
beauties OF the rose
And the white. up-turned, sweet vIsage
ads to innocence the charm
Of the soul-reposing trust upon the guar
dian angels arm:
Oh, the sweetest scented nectar flowing
from this life is gone,
II you cannot see the babies when they
get their ''nighties" on

AT THE GRAND.

If every farce comedy that plays at
the Grand this season is as clever as the
one with which the theater was opened
last evening then the season will be a
good one.
"A Wise Guy is a farce comedy and
| when that is said there is nothing left
| to say except that it is a good farce
comedy. 1t is. funny and that is some
thing that cannot be said of all farces.
The plot, what there is of it, contains
the elements of hunnor. The situations
are very funny and they are we'll worked
up too.
The story Of the play, in brief, is that
Of an ambitious actress who goes to Long
Branch and poses as the daughter of 4
millionaire for the purpose of catching
the fancy of an English lord. In the
operation it is necessary for her to have
a father, and Spike Hennessy, a piano
mover, is employed to irnpersonate the
! millionaire. AS a father he is not a sue
cess, but as a fun-maker he does more
than is bargained for. Around this plot
are hung a number of specialties which
are entertaining in the extreme.
The company is one Of the cleVerest
even seen at the Grand. William Sell
cry has, in the part of Spike Hennessy,
a character which is new to the stage.
He is not a tramp or a tough, simply an
ignorant laborer,wh has seen the rough
oAtO u CAlS VIZ ~ etttu ID d real wise
guy" BIr. Sellery takes the part at the
authors estimate and gives an exceed.
ingly interesting performance.
Miss Anna Mortland who makes her
first appearance in farce carries out the
part Of the actress in a very creditable
manner. She is an actress of ability and
her work in farce is fully equal to that
she has done in emotional relies.
Miss BERTHE Haydn, as the landlords
daughter, looks pretty and sings sweetly,
several of her songs being heartily en-
cored
Edward Sanford, as Busse, the German
landlord, gives a clever performance OF
a very difficult part. Charles E. Graham.
as the lover who masquerades as the old
maid raised many laughs. Fred SavilIe.
as the bell boy, caused much amusement
with his character work and his speciality,
as did William Barlow in the roll of the
bogus lord.
The Burdell sisters gave a clever dane
ing specially, and Joy and Clayton danced
themselves into the hearts Of the audi
ence.
Taken all together the performance
was one of the cleyerest seen in ST. Paul
for many years.
The same bill all the week with the
usual matinees.
Next week will present for the edifica-
ton of Grand opera house visitors o visit

list. For the good of his moral and ply
steal condition it would be better for him
to continue his prize fighting than to take
to the stage. He would at least be COM
PEELED to remain-phys man, in
order to do his part in the squared cir
Gle, while on the stage the last spark
of manhood would inevitably disappear.
The stage is no place for the gladiator;
it demands higher qualities than the pu-
gilist possesses to resist the insidious and
seductive temptations that beset the ac-
tors life. Education and mental vigor
and a rigid regard for the rules of NOR
atty and health are essentials. and the
poor pugilist wallowing around on the
stage is in much the same plight as
typical hayseed in the hands Of the bunco
men,
The feelings of the theater-loving pub
lie must also be considered. It cares not
for the weight, age or condition of the
actor if he but be capable Of intelligent
ly interpreting the drama and of por-
euse if he is tiresome or ridiculous
which the pugilist-acter usually Is.
AS to the morals of prize fghting-the
question has been discussed until it Is
threadbare. There are thousands Of
good citizens who regard prize fighting
and professional pugilists with horror,
and as denominations. Two men settling
their differences by battling to decide a
question of superiority with their fists as
weapons is something which they hold
to be entirely and essentially bad; yet
these same people will cheer the profess
sional soldier who fights with deadly
soldier Stays the other fellows soldier or
makes him hopeless cripple for life.
No matter whether man fights with
fists, nails, feet, knives, rifles or can
non, the primal instinct of sayagerv
and lust for blood and destruction lies at
the bottom Of his valor. The fighter
who kills a Spaniard or a Filipino NAV
be advancing civilization, but the instinct
which makes him fighter is the same
which leads Jim Jeffries to knock out
his brother pugilist. The soldier who
sticks his bayonet through the midriff
Of Filipino does not consider how much
he has advanced the cause Of human
liberty and civilization thereby, and the
pugilist who Glands left hook on his
adVersary's chin and puts him to sleep"
has no idea that he has given the cause
of civilization setback.
The value of pugilism Is that 1t sets
premium upon physical excellence. or
strength, skill and endurance. If the
only exponents of pugilsm are of a So
| eial class which respectable citizens re-
! gard as impossible from a social and
moral standpoint it might perhaps be
desirable to deprive the rowdy and the
tough of the monopoly he at present en-
joys of the advantages and delights of
pugilism by flooding the profession"
with better class of individuals.

THE pRoFEssIoN OF pUG1EsM

The carnival Of prize fighting which
New York has enjoyed since the passage
of the so-called Horton law will come
to an end on Sept 1. The Horton law
was repealed by the last state legisla-
ture and a new law, absolutely forbid
ding prize fights, was adopted. The pu-
gilists will no longer be able to follow
their calling within the limits of the EN-
pire state and must hunt for more con-
genial pastures.
The absolute prohibition Of prize fight
ing, with all due respect for the opinions
of people who regard such encounters as
being altogether reprehensible, is not en-
tirely an unmixed blessing. The profess
sional pugilist is fit for nothing else, and,
physically, at least, he inflicts no injury
upon the general public He batters and
assaults his fellow pugilists and rarely
attacks the non-pugilist. He is as harm
less, usually, as bulldog and is gem
orally kept under restraint by his back
ers and trainers.
The pugilist. driven from New York,
will be compelled to do one of two things.
He will either find some other state,
where prize fighting is not forbidden, or
he will go upon the stage and become
that singular absurdity-an actor-pugil-

SWIMMING POOL.
In w. X. VanderbIIt's New MnnsIoa
VIII Cost 100000.

Chicago American.
William X Vanderbilt, the senior mem
Der Of the richest family in America. IS
building a palace in Long Island that will
be the wonder Of this continent.
The croWning gem of 1t will be the
great swimming pool, or bath, which will
surpass the balneatory splendors Of an
Client Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
This bath alone will cost 81, 100000.
The palace occupies the site Of the one
that was destroyed by fire last year dur
ing the honeymoon Of young William K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., and his bride. 1t is near
Oakdale, L. I. With modesty that is
quite ironical the palace IS called Idle
Hour.
To supply the swimming pool a canal Il
mile long has been dredged 1t brings
salt sea water to the door Of the house.
The pool is enclosed in a falry-llke ORR
entail court in front Of the house. The
roof of the court consists of arches Of
steel and glass, while the walls are OF
marble. The architecture is PERSIAN, but
the genius of American engineering
has been called upon to make the pool
a marvel Of convenience and luxury.
Here one can become cool on the hot
test day in summer, and here one can
swim with pleasure on the coolest day i'm
winter. The owner who commands all
this luxury can shut out the heat OF
summer or admit the breeze on pleas
ant day or warm the water on a cold
day at will.
The pool Is 300 feet In length and 1Oj
feet in width. The water is changed so
constantly that it is always pure one
can see the white marble bottom shining
through the delicate sea green water.
A majestic flight Of broad marble steps
leads down to the clear pool from tho
front of the palace. Around the pool runs
a gallery, slightly screened by beautiful
wrought iron work as light as gossamer
This will be a delightful retreat on hot
days for those who have already enjoy. /
the pool, as well as for those who prefer
to lounge and do nothing but drink tee
or something else and smoke cigarettes.
