Germana Indignant.

The editor Of the w ashington
TOuyNai, the leading German news
paper published at the capital,
ought to be ashamed for not hav
ing helped towards the success OF
the recent pro Boer demonstration
Not one word did he publi5h con-
cerninp this magnificent outburst
oi patriotism on the part OF the
public spirited citizens OF the Dis
trict uf Columbia, until after the
meeting was neld, even then giving
a very briet and imperfect report.
The editor Of the SENTINEL, who
took an active part n that meeting,
was one Of the few Germans who
did his best to 60 on record in oP-
position to the vacillating policy
OF the Administration. AS a mem
Der ol the Executive Committee
and Committee on Invitations he
has been, since the meeting, over
whelmed with reproaches by mem
bers OF the Saengerbund and other
German societies, for not having
invited their hearty co. operation.
This protest has come from indi-
Vidual members, who cannot un-
derstand why the Presidents Of
the different organizations re-
sewing invitations did not invite
the attention of their members to
that fact. We wish to say that no
one was sighted, and all were cor
daily invited. Iftheir Presidents
did not give the matter sufficient
publicity, it was because nearly all
OF them hold Government posi-
tions and did not have the moral
courage to stand up for Kruger
and Liberty"

AN amusing scene occurred in
the House of Representatives
recently, when Representative
Ball, OF Texas, was speaking on an
appropriation bill. He took occa-
sion to criticise the AdminIstra-
tion's foreign policy, which called
forth sneers from the Republicans,
who consider it treason to crIticise
the President. Mr.. Ball at once
produced a speech made by Alb
raham Lincoln on the floor Of Con-
gress when the Mexican war was
being fought and read copious ex-
tracts from It showing how freely
and unsparIngly, if not to say
harshly. Abraham Lincoln critI-
zed President Polk. There is moth
ing so distre sing to a Republican
politician nowadays, either in Con-
gress or out oi it, as to force them
TO listen to the words of Abraham
Lincoln and bis compatriots.

long associated with him, so that It Is
said the parts are peculiarly fitted TO the
actors in this merry three act farce. Mr..
Collier, in the title part, has one Of those
suave, breezy, ofihand characters, which
he depicts to perfection. There is no
comedian who can carry the wiles Of an
imposter through such maze Of prevar-
ications with such nonchalance as Mr..
Collier. HIS character in this play is
that OF a Boung man who palms himself
of upon bank manager as the son of
his late partner, who is on a foreign tour.
Glib OF tongue and winning OF manners,
he soOE ingrstiates himself with the
financier. wooes his daughter, and is in
the full flood OF social success when the
real Mr.. smooth arrives. Mr.. Collier is
supported by his own eminent company.

viii St. Louis Reseutit2

The Associated Press, at the in
stigation OF the President, says that
when the check for $3.50 sent by
ST. Louisians through DR. Emil
Pretorius, for transmission to the
Boer Government reaches the
State Department, it will promptly
be returned. 1t is stated at the
State Department that the reply to
DIR. Pretorius will be in substance
as follows:
"There is no disturbance in the
transmission OF The mails from St
Louis to Pretoria, via New York
and Laurence Marquee Anything
sent o Pres den Kruger will prob
ably reach him through the ordrn-
ary channels. The United States
Government IS not a messenger
boy."
This is an insult not onlV to one
Of our most influential German
Americans. but to all the good
citizens OF St. Louis. Mr.. McKin-
ley is entirely too inconsistent.
Has he not ordered our consulsto
act as England's postmas
Why then can he not permit a val
usble letter TO be delivered to the
President OF a republic7 We hope
our old friend DR., Pretorius will
bear this insult in mind at the next
election.

To the person who expects to find in
"The Cunner's Mate" next weeks
attraction at the Academy a bowling
melodrama, Manager Augustus Pitou's
most recent offering is apt to be a dis
appointment. But to the man or woman
who looks for we'll founded, elaborate,
logical and coherent play the drama
will more than satisfy the lOngings Tor
something unusual and exceedingly
interesting. The same cast. the same
production and the same effect will
be seen at the Academy as at the
recent run of the naval play in the Grand
Opera House in New York. It is not a
war play, but IN the main deals with
sailors life upon shIpboard.

. Charles Frohman's star, John Drew,
in Haddon Chambers comedy OF tenn
permanent, The Tyranny Of Tears"
will be the attraction at the National
Theatre, the week beginning Monday
evening next, with the customary
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
The star will be supported by Miss
Isabel Irving. now his leading lady for
three seasons; MISS Ida Conquest,
Miss Georgia Mendum, and Messrs.
Arthur Byron, Harry Harwood and
frank Lamb The announcement of a
visit from Mr. Drew is always considered
an extremely welcome one to the play
gOers OF Washington and neighDorhood,
and he never tails to fill the National
with the most iudicious and representa-
tive lovers OF the theatre. He has the
remarkable record for star Of never
having had a failure; and so there is
considerable significance in the state
ment that The Tyranny of Tears" is
the most successful play he has ever had,
not even excepting Rosemary" of
delightful and fragrant memory. The
central part in it--that Of Mr.. Parbury,
a nOvelist-is also said to give the actor
the best opportunities OF his career not
only for the display OF those qualities OF
his art that have made him famous, but
for an added charm 10 his acting that the
critics consider somewhat inoe6nable.
The character is full Of light and shade
and runs much Of the emotional gamut
There may be found in it refined and
irresistible humor, much OF what has
come TO be known as tragi comedy, an
element OF pathos and a sweetness of
sentiment. Each part in the play is a
verv good one, for Mr., Drew is not one
OF those stars who love the stage centre
to the hugging point. The play is not
preachy, yet it has pleasing sermonic
tendency. "The Tyranny OF Tears"
was successful at the Empire Theatre,
New York, from the beginning Of the
season until hve weeks ago.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 16.-Although today's
business in stocks did not recover to the
full measure of last weeks in point OF
volume. the tone of the trading and tho
showing of strength were the most inn
posing and substantial that have been
made since the election. The feverish
and sensational movement in isolated
stocks and the indiscriminate rush TO
buy in lump were not shown today In
stead, there was a steady and persistent
absorption of stocks of the best char
acter with legitimate speculative pros
poets of increaed earning power or in
creased security by reason Of added earn
ings for junior securities. In the early
dealings the speculation showed dispo-
sition to look for leadership, and the pow
erful leaders were at hand to inaugurate
inviting advances in prominent stocks in
almost every distinctive group on the ex-
change. The absence of realizing pres

New York, Nov. 16.-Market conditions
show no important development though
there is a stronger undertone. Sellers
are not disposed to give way to the at
lacks of buyers, the stocks on the ma
iority of lines being so reduced that
agents are content to await an improved
demand. Buyers are taking only what
they need for Immediate requirements
and yet the cooler weather has increased
these needs and the jobber is feeling the
effect of better business.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 16.-The market for
cotton today was irregular, with the near
positions working towards higher prices
on threats of contemplated corner, and
The more remote positions tending down
wards under various causes, including
reported estimate placing the worlds
consumption of American cotton at TO-
10000 bales or 100000 less than con-
sumed last year. The opening here was
easy at an advance of from two to five
points on near deliveries and a decline
of eight points in September Cables
were better than looked for and the gen.
eral market steadied later on covering,
with some pretty fair speculative buying
At the best the market was eight points
higher to six points lower. The close
was barely steady, five points higher to
fourteen points net lower. Talk of con-
templated manipulation made parties who
were short of the near positions particu-
larly anxious to cover, but public specu-
lation Jagged. and there was more or less
selling at the top prices on the reaction
theory. The latter was increased by in
dications that the East Indian crop would
go long way toward supplying Contin-
entail spinning demand. Selling proceeded
with marked caution, however, as nearly
all of the Southern spot markets were
one-sixteenth to one-eight of cent
higher and conditions in the cotton goods
market were reported to be more en-
couraging.
