day beer with their families. The fathers
go to beer gardens with their wives and chill
dren; they hear good music surrounded by
their families. 1t does no one any harm.
Il am not connoisseur of beer, but do
know that when a man wants draught beer
he won't drink bottled beer.
Il am for Sunday opening OF the saloons
during certain hours because the Germans
regard this as their inalienable right, and I
regard them as one Of the most valuable
factors in our population.
Il look upon the German idea OF a beer
garden as one of the most beneficial ex-
amples Of domesticity in the world I have
been in them on every day in the week and
know about them. "
Once we can convince the Germans" he
continued, that we are for their ideas re-
garding Sunday beer, and we will have them
with us in our fight against indecency The
German is a man of family and a man Of
self-respect He would be the last to stand
for what we have undergone. l for one want
to convince him that we mean to look to his
welfare and comfort
Let no one think that I am an advocate
OF drinking. But what men regard as their
inalienable right, I have no right to disre-
gard"

Everett Bodine Latham, 2S years old, who
says he is promoter, was arrested yesterday
I by the tenderloin police and locked up in the
West Thirteenth street station charged with
J forgery. Latham has been living in good
style in an apartment at West Forty-sev-
enth street. The complainant against him is
Lee A. Agnew. the business representative
in this city Of the Chicago Record Herald
Agnew lives at the Hotel Victoria.
For the last ten years Agnew has been
working on a machine which he hoped would
make him rich. This machine folds, wraps
and pastes wrappers on newspapers and
pamphlets, thereby doing away with con
siderable manual labor. Early this year he
perfected the machine and patented it in this
and other countries. Agnew says It Is now
in successful use in the mailing department
Of one New York newspaper.
Last July Agnew arranged with James c.
Lenney, lawyer Of 149 Broadway. to put his
machine on the market. Lawyer Lenney rep
resented capitalists who were on the lookout
for an investment and after several talks
he offered Agnsw $4,000 in cash for his
patents. Agnew had almost made I'D his
mind to accept the offer when he met Latham.

Robert ManteII at the BfjOu in
"RicheIieu."


Robert Mantell and his company gave an
acceptable Interpretation Of Bulwer Lytton s
"Richelieu" at the Bijou last evening 1t
would be invidious to say that the great
role has been seen in more capable hands
in Minneapolis. Certainly no better produc-
tion of Lytton's dramatic masterpiece has
ever been offered here at popular prices. What
is more to the point the play gave entire
satisfaction to the immense audience which
followed the action of the tragedy with
breathless interest from the rise to the final
drop of the curtain.
There is much to commend and little to
condemn in Mr.. Mantell's conception of the
role Of Richelieu. 1t was, altogether, an
artistic appreciation of the part Mr.. Man
tell gave an admirable delineation of the
character Of the great cardinal, who lived
only for La Belle France-"My France, my
Mistress as he fondly put it-with the
conviction borne in upon him that only his
strong personality could prevent his native
land from tottering to its ruin.
Mr. MantelPs acting was particularly ef-
fective in the scenes with the headstrong but
heart-true Adrian De Mauprat. officer in the
French army, and with his ward, Julie De
Mortimer He was at his best in the pas
sage with Baradas, the kings favorite-in
that strong scene where the cardinal, as a
last resort to save the girl, draws about
her form the "circle of the holy church"
and launches the curse Of Rome on him who
dares intrude upon the sacred ground.
Miss Marie Booth Russell was a satisfactory
Julie De Mortimer. AS Adrian De Mauprat,
w ]. Bowers leaning to the effeminate did
not seem exactly suited to the part
Praise is also due to Alfred Fl. Hastings
as Joseph, the Capuchin-confidant of Rich
elieu, and to Miss Mary MacGregor, for her
very intelligent conception of the part of

women Found Utopfan Cluh.

The new home Of the Womans Club in For
ty-sixth street will be formally opened on
Monday of next week, and many society wo-
men are on the membership list of the new
organization. The purpose of the club is to
provide for New York women just what a
mans club provides for men, and for women
who live in the suburban towns the club will
afford conveniences which men find at hotels,
but which are practically denied to women.
Membership fees are moderate, and the club
is designed to be an inexpensive one. Annual
dues are $15. and bedrooms are from 81 to 81
a night. Exclusiveness in regard to the ad-
mission Of membership and full regard for
the proprieties will be insisted on, while at
the same time the club will cater to women
of advanced ideas. Its founders express the
hooe that it will neither furnish material for
gossip nor be the home Of gossip.

The Commoner, commenting on the
fact that the per capita circulation Is
greater in this country than ever before,
and upon the satisfaction which the re-
publican newspapers take in this fact,
rebukes the boast of the republican press
on the ground that in 1896 the champions
of the single gold standard assured us
that We had then, when our circulation
was much smaller per capita, plenty Of
money. So we did, but the editor of The
Commoner, with his wild, unscientific and
unbusinesslike threat of what he would
do with that money if he were president,
scared 1t into hiding so that it refused
to do it's work. AS soon as it was demon
strated that he was powerless to carry
out his threats the money on hand came
out Of hiding and other has been added
to it, not alone from the mines and mints,
but from the prosperous trade built up
with foreign countries which have be-
come buyers of our products in hitherto
unprecedented and unexpected quantities.
