From my observation of systems en-

organized school systems Of any state in
the Union. The nearest approach to it Is
the wisconsin system, which in some re-
spects is superior to ours but taken all

The feature that commends the Mime

Is the state aid. The state makes this

New York Gossip.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, March l. = During
the week past the theatrical storm
center has been "Sapho. " And q
regular blizzard of canards has been set
flying westward concerning the position
occupied by Olga Nethersole in her rela-
ton to this play.
In the first place, Miss Nethersole has
not been ''prostrated," as the result of
any action so far taken by the courts
No performance of "Sapho" has been in
terrupted nor has 1t been necessary for
her to avail herself of the services Of an
understudy.
Secondly, the attack on the alleged I'M
morality of the play was not actuated
by any sordid conspiracy to seek a sensa-
tional method Of advertising. 1t is rather
difficult to believe this. However, 1t
happens in this case to be true. 1t was
purely the result of one of the high
lights of saffron journalism-an object
lesson Of what newspaper buzzard could
do when afforded an opportunity. Speak
ing in her own defense and from evident
deep conviction, she says:
Il am not i'll, and was not i'll on Sun
day. as alleged. Nor did spend my time
IN weeping because l have been reviled
by few unscrupulous persons and no.

the Metropolitan Opera house for an en-
Gagement consisting of four nights and
one matinee, beginning with the perform
ance Sunday night March a. will present
In & most elaborate manner De Koven &
Smiths charming opera, THE Highway
man" In contributing this work, Messrs.
De Koven & Smith have given to the
Lyric stage q masterpiece. The. score is
replete with music of an unconventional
description, the solos being particularly
brilliant, while the ensemble numbers par
take in their general construction some
what of the nature Of grand opera. The
book contributed by Harry B. Smith pre-
sents Us with lines decidedly on the hu-
morous, and without apparently breaking
the continuity there is incessant laughter
caused by their delivery. The story deals
with English life, It's scenes, customs and
habits, of a period during the reign of
George ", when hold ups were prev
alent through the realm. One scene in the
opera deals with an episode Of that kind
and the music which is intermingled with
the action at that point is decidedly
interesting Inc scenery Tor this produce
ton is the original that was expressly
built for the engagement of the company
at the Broadway theater, New York,
which engagement was so successful that
1t enjoyed an uninterrupted run of seven
teen weeks. The music-loving public of
this city Will undoubtedly welcome the
presentation of this, the greatest of all

as is 'Zaza' and many of Shakespeare's
works. gives me every confidence that l
shall be acquitted without any trouble"
The comical side of the prosecution
crops out In the court of Jurisdiction.
Magistrate Mott, the alcalde presiding
over the legal tribunal before which the
case is brought, never witnessed a dra-
matte production in his llfe--not even the
passion play. 1t is proposed to present
in his court few of the warmer pas
sages Of "Sapho," in street costume, and
leave to his judgment the momentous
question whether the play is or is not
immoral
Upon what basis could Magistrate
Mott decide such question? With what
could he compare it? He has never wit
messed a Shakespearean production He
never saw Camille" Possibly he would
be startled with righteous indignation
at the unfolding of the plot of "Pinafore"
The proposition to do a few scenes of
'Sapho' in the presence of such a critic
is phantasy; an Illogical exploitation

1t will be presented with all the original
magnificent scenery, costumes and eff

slVe one. The gentleman who staged the
production, the stage manager of the

opening night of the season that by all
ODDS the company was more efficient than
last seasons in every respect. The pretty

the term applied to 1.-The Telephone Girl"
1t is vivacious, lively, tuneful, pictures
que and boisterously comical, like 'The
Belle by the same authors. It's dialogue
is up to the period In smartness, its songs
are delighting, the situations exceedingly
laughable and the whole entertainment is
bright and punctuated with the merry
sayings and doings which audiences of
late seem to relish more than anything
else The specialties are choice of their
Kind, and are introduced with provoca-
ton and propriety. The chorus is a sa-
lient feature, being composed exclusive
ly of young and comedy girls who possess
good voices as we'll as good looks. Mr..
Dave Lewis, a well known comedian, is
the comical telephone inspector Hans
Nix. This is one Of the most thoroughly
unique characters ever seen upon the
stage. He is type of himself. OF course
no such inspector was ever. seen. 1t is
the extravaganza of the character that
makes the hit. Miss Jessie Merriles, the
winsome innocent kid of hvans & Hoey's

Estelle, queen Of the telephone" The
cast also includes James F. Mcdonald,
