THE BURGOMASTER
Its First Presentation in the East at
 the Hyperion Last Evening

the HyperlOn LaSI EVSHlH8.
 An original musical comedy entitled ssThe Burgomaster," which has met with much success in the west, was given its first eastern production in this city at the Hyperion last night in the presence of large audience. The piece abounds in new songs and bright and catchy music. Abundant opportunity Is given to display an unusual number of pretty girls and elaborate costumes ' Tt is not comic opera but it is a legiti- mate musical comedy. The prologue deals with the time of the Dutch in the ancient city of New Amsterdam. It Is in the prologue that the Burgomaster is first introduced as staid old gentle man only careful of the city's welfare. Tn the next scene the time shifts to the year 1900, and is strictly up to date in every way. The body of the Burgo- master is found buried beneath the Dewey arch on Fifth avenue, and when discovered is in a perfect state of pres- ervation. Left alone in the warm sun the ancient slumberer revives and nwakes somewhat after the fashion of Pharo, the Phoenecian, after a sleep of two hundred and fifty years. The fol- lowing scenes deal in the strange things he sees in the greater city, and his man. ner of seeing them.
 During the action of the piece num- Der of pleasing songs are introduced. Among those worthy of special men tion were "The Soubrette," Dear Old College Daye," '"The Modern Gladia- tor,' '"The Tale of the Kangaroo" "The IT T.f1 ir1 ,y,I ino Cake"
 In the third act a very well rendered cake walk is introduced. The musical part of the programme was well rem dered. The scenery is all worthy of special mention, especially the scene at the seashore and the ball room The electrical palace at the Paris exposition served to introduce several new and up to date electrical effects. The piece will need a good deal of cutting before it will be a success. The company is well balanced and the chorus is composed of young and pretty girls.
 The cast is headed by Henry E. Dixey as the Burgomaster, but little oppor- tunity is given him to display his abil- ity. Knox Wilson as Doodly was ex- cellent and his musical speciality in the third act was loudly applauded. Miss Selma Rawston as Willie has a part which she makes much of Raymond Hitchcock also did a good bit of work. William Riley Hatch was excellent as the professional pugilist. Miss Gene vieve Gibson sang a number of pleas ing songs Mrs. Ada Deaver, Joseph s. Welsh, William Riley Hatch and Miss Jeanne Carkie are all deserving of special mention. The piece will be re- peated this and tomorrow nights and at the matinee tomorrow. Among the well known New Workers present were MT. and Mrs. w. A. Brady, Edward Price, R. J. Kirk of the Way Down East company, MT. Livingston repre- senting Klaw & Erlanger, Charles Os- good and many others.

THE ROMAN sATuRNALIA.

roasting and revelry and all the mad pursuits of pleasure are the features that seem to have especially marked
 this carnival of antiquity as 1t went on for seven days in the streets and public squares and houses of ancient Rome, from the 14th to the 23d of December. But no feature of the festival is more remarkable, nothing in it seems to have struck the ancients themselves more than the license granted to slaves at this time. The distinction between the free and the servile classes was tempo rarily abolished. The slave might rail at his master, intoxicate himself like his betters, sit down at table with them, and not even word of reproof would be administered to him for conduct which at any other season might be punished with stripes, Imprisonment or death. Nay, more, masters actually changed places with their slaves and waited on them at table; and not till the serf had done eating and drinking was the board cleared and dinner set tor his master. So far was this inversion of ranks carried, that each household be- came for time mimic republic, in which the high offices of state were dis charged by the slaves, who gave their orders and laid down the law as if they were indeed invested with all the digni- ty of the consulship, the praetorship and the bench. Like the pale reflection of power thus accorded to bondsmen at the Saturnalia was the mock kingship for which freemen cast lots at the same season. The person on whom the lot fell enjoyed the title of king and issued commands of playful and ludicrous nature to his temporary subjects. One of them he might order to mix the wine, another to dance, another to speak in his own dispraise, another to carry a fiute-g girl on his back round the house se-Fortnightly Review.

NEW HAVEN METHODISTS
TO PAY REM1 INNING CHURCH DEBT
 SUNDAY MORNING.

Iwenttetn century Wesleynh Lcasue wm Meet in First Methodist Church S66,OOO on Hand and Pledged $9, 1000 More Expected to be Subscribed at
 Meeting.
 It is probable that the Methodist churches of New Haven will commence the new century without debt. gen. eral union meeting of the Twentieth Century Wesleyan league has been called, to be held Sunday morning in the First Methodist church, at which it is expected that the remaining $9,000 of the church debt will be forthcoming.
 This movement has been very sue cessful. When it was first launched the debts of the New Haven Methodist con- gregations aggregated $75,000. The pro moters organized under the name of the New Haven Evangellzation union. The work was slow, owing to the hard times then prevailing, and all the so- ciety could do was to pay the interest on the debts, allowing each church to pay its running expenses.
 Over two years ago the bishop of the Methodist church called for subscrip- tions from all over the country to raise SEQ, 900 900 to clear off debts, endow col leges and other work of that nature. But this call did not prevent the local churches from continuing the work they had started upon three years be- fore. They reorganized with H. H. Benedict as president John T. Manson,  Charles H. Platt and l.. w. Moody as vice presidents, Peter F. Bowman, cor responding secretary and N. A. Fuller ton as treasurer
 The new society was named the TWen- tieth Century Wesleyan league. That its efforts were not unrewarded Is shown by the fact that there is now on hand the sum of $30000 in cash, $36,- 900 more pledged and 1t is expected that the balance will be raised at the union meeting next Sunday morning.
 It will be very interesting meeting. All the other churches of that denomi- nation will be closed that day. H. H. Benedict will make a statement re- viewing the work of the society of which he is the president. There will be other addresses by members of the society and by some of the local Meth odist pastors.

made articles have decreased from 3
to - per cent. And is it not fact
that business done by these immense
corporations on IL sound basis lends

a ,ndency to lessen the dangers of
prices? To the republican party hhs
been entrusted the problem of devisina

will strengthen their hold on the
