The CoIumbia-s.The Bureomaster.'

The Burgomaster," which opens its
engagement ut the Columbia on Monday

musical comedy, extravaganza, burIesq'le
and comic opera. 1t is the joint work Of
Frank Pixley, author, and Gustav LUd-
ers, composer. Its story is quaint. anus

vironment admits of picturesque mount

write for The Saturday Evening Post of
Philadelphia the story of the "opening"

account Of the mushroom city that
sprang up in a night is Of striking and
timely interest.

for Scotland, and Lord Rector of the
university Of Edinburgh, will contrib
ute to an early number of The Saturday
Evening Post Of Philadelphia a paper of
official significance on Carnegie's gift to
Scotland. Lord Balfour is one of the

An interesting development of the de-
partment store idea will soon be tried in
Chicago. Several independent retail
merchants occupying different stores
and carrying different lines Of goods will
combine in renting one big establish.
ment in which each will carry on his
OWL business. Each store will be sepa.
rate and each will have its own proprie-
tor, but all will be under one roof, and
each will do what he can to help the
others. This plan will make several i'm
portant economies possible, and the good
will which each merchant will bring
into the combination is considered q
valuable asset. 1t will take time to
prove the wisdom Of the plan for the in
dividual merchants who thus bunch
their resources, and not the least inter
eeting feature to observe will be whether
harmony will continue to exist among
them.
