FAVORABLE REPORT FROM KANSAS.

John F. Seaman, of Chicago. who has
dust completed a three weeks stump
/ ing tour of Kansas for the national re-
/ publican committee, was at republican
Headquarters in St. Paul Tuesday. Mr..
Seaman says a 7nost conservative est liz
mate gives Kansas TO Mckinley and
Roosevelt by 5000 TO 10000 and in his
estimation the republican plurality viii
I be considerably larger. He was also
/ satisfied from personal interviews with
4 business men in the principal cities OF
Il Nebraska that Bryan's own state Will
4 be found in the republican column this
{ fail.
Mr.. Seaman said of the situation in
4 Kansas: Kansas has for ten years
+ been considered the stronghold and
home of populism until two years ago,
Il ,.,ihen the republicans elected their state
Ticket by small majority. During
4 the republican administration the work
4 Of the preceding populist officials was
such that thinking citizens were
amazed at the lack of business capacity
4 shown by the administrations OF aide
eade.
sts The exposure showed a deplorable
state of affairs, the finances Of the
4 state were run down and the manage
ment of the state institutions haG been
q shameful. The principles which the
populists had earnestly and with the
Il to be failures when put to the practical
test, and thinking men of the party saw
They had made a mistake. Many of the
local populist leaders have this fun ac-
~ knoWledged their political errors and
are now supporting the republican
H ticket, state and national, as earnestly
as they formerly supported the pnpu-
Il list ticket. y

THE MIMI PINSON" FUND.

YOUNG COMPOSERS EFFORTS To GIVE PARIS
WORKING GIRLS THEATRICAL TREATS
Paris correspondence of The Pail Mall Gazette
Some of the leading women in Paris society
nave started fund of which the object is TO
give the work girls of the capital the treat of
an occasional visit TO the theatre. The Mimi
Pinson Fund-it would have been difficult to
choose a more appropriate name-is the out
come of a campaign carried with irrepress-
ible zeal by NJ. GuStaVe Carpenter the rising
composer. whose Louise" produced at the
Opera Com;que, has been the event of the mu-
steal season. When NJ. Charpenter first sug-
gested the desirability of giving his protegees
an occasional evening at the theatre, there
arose a very lively controversy. The project
encountered many scOffers 1t was urged that it
of their finances should preclude work girls
from going TO the theatre, where more often
than not they would run the risk of being any
thing but edited AspersOns. too. were cast on
the taste of the young persons in question, who,
it alleged, are inclined to prefer the ditties
of the music halls and sngsonSs to elevating
drama-supposing this latter article to be any
where forthcoming.
Undeterred by the objections Of the Philis-
tines, NJ. Charpentier pursued his purpose, and
has since been endeaVOring to cope with the
practical difficulties that beset his scheme. His
main concern was to obtain ample supply
of free tickets. To distribute them would be an
easy matter for in spite of the representations
of the mOralists, the ParisienneS who would de-
cline on conscientious grounds to spend an
evening even at the Palais Royal may be sus-
peCted to be in the minority NJ. Charpentier

addressed himself in the first instance TO the
theatrical managers. He asked them to put
certain number of seats at his disposal every
month, but none of them, strange to relate,
showed any marked anxiety to be a party to
this philanthrOpic distribution of paper
Fooled in this direction. NJ. CharpentieT tried
the dramatists. 1t is the practice in Paris for
dramatic authors to receive a number of seats
for each performance of one of their pieces. All
NJ. Charpentier demanded was that once week
the dramatists should make present of these
tickets to his wOuld-be theatre gOers. But the
dramatists proved as hard hearted the man
ayers. They explained that it is the regular
custom in the profession TO dispose of the
thors tickets to an agency. which buys them
en- bloc at half price and makes what profit it
the transaction. The author draws in
this way about f2 week, and of all the play
wrightS of France and Navarro appealed to by
NJ. Charpentier, very. very few expressed them
selves willing to dock themselves of is month
for the benefit of the Mimi Prisons of the
capital. And the very few who declared they
were ready to make the sacrifice were careful to
point out that, for reasons it is unnecessary to
go into, il could not be realized in practice
