MUSIC-THE DRAMA.

A DANGEROUS RIVAL TO DUSS APPEARS.
Mr. Hammerstein promised that Creatore and his
italian band would make a hit at the Paradise
Roof Garden last night, and Mr.. Hammerstein is
= man of his word But few OF the good sized au-
dience expected quite the surprise that was in
store for them. When Creatore came out before
his band he was seen to be a man with sharp feat
ures and a tremendous shock of black hair When
he began TO lead, raising his hands high above his
head, shaking back his hair. swooplng out over the
players, now on this SIDE on that, a very
Svengali in uniform. the audience was inclined to
smile. But Creatore didn't the smiles; ne was
busy getting music out of that band. Before many
measures 1t became evident his gestures were not
a pose; his men obeyed them too keeny and heart
lily for that. And the magnetism which ruled the
banu soon swayed the audience. Smiles gave way
10 the sharpest attention. till when Creatore shook
back his hair and strained up on tiptoe to his
climax, the entire house broke out not in hand
clapping but in spontaneous cheers 1t was a gem
uine tribute to the power of personal magnetism

SHARPSHOOTING AND UNIFORMS.

In his address 10 the New-Jersey National
Guardsmen at Sea Girt President Roosevelt
spoke OF the Importance OF craftsmanship in
warfare as ii is carried on at present While
he hoped that the men would never be called
into active service, he urged upon them the
Importance of good craftsmanship and told
them that in action it is mighty important to
hit the other fellow" At West Point, when
he addressed the graduating class short time
ago, the President enlarged upon the same sub
ject and tried to impress upon the young men
the fact that modern war methods have made
the sharpshooter more valuable in the army
than he ever was before.
Shooting at the butts and at armory rifle
ranges has been included In the National
Churchman's curriculum for many years, but
the men had decorations, prizes and company
records in mind when shooting. To-day the
Guardsman understands and the fact is inn
pressed upon him by remarks like those of
President Roosevelt, that craftsmanship Is a
necessity and that the soldiers chances for sur
yiyal In battle are greater If he is good shot
The President expressed the hope that the
National Guard would soon be armed with the
weapon used in the regular army, but he said
nothing about reform in uniform with regular
army regulations and weapons, however the
adoption of the mud colored uniform is only
matter of time. The regulation blue and the
various distinctive uniforms may be retained
for street parades and for local military func-
tions but when the men are called into the field
the mud colored uniform will be adopted. de-
spite the objections of the men who would pre-
fer the bright uniforms for sentimental reasons,
because it is the rational uniform in this the
day of the sharpshooter.
Organizations like the Old Guard, the Bur-
gesses Corps, the Charleston Blues the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery and similar bodies of
brave soldiers should retain their highly deco
rated and picturesque costumes, so that on
national holidays and on other occasions when
they appear In all their glory in street parades
the people may see how the nations defenders
looked In the days of old, before improved fire.
arms and advanced craftsmanship made a
simple, inconspicuous uniform necessary

view of the acknowledged superiority of the
Porto Rican coffee over the coffees of Brazil,
Central America and Java. The truth is that in
this country the taste for really good coffee has
not yet been developed sufficiently to warrant
dealers paying the price that Europeans are
willing to pay, any more than a taste for tea

New Publication Comparative LiteratureDeath Of the
Brandur Magazine Rumor ofa Magazine Consolidation
New Books and Some ProbIemsHow the News
Affects the Production of NoveIs-Dumas
Outdone in Modern Life.
By HERBERT BREWSTER.

Intelligence comes to me at the mo-
ment of writing this letter of new
magazine, the first number of which
is to appear on Jan. /. 1t is a quar-
terly Journal of Comparative Litera-
ture and is to be devoted to the inter-
ests of that most modern of literary
studies in America and Europe. 1t
will be based primarily upon the de-
partments of comparative literature at
Columbia and Harvard, Prof. g. e.
Woodbury. and DR.. J. e. Spingarn of
the former institution and Prof. ]. b.
Fletcher of the latter, collaborating in
it's editorial management. A very inn
pressive array of foreign professors
have promised their active support.
The list of universities represented by
them includes those OF Zurich. Berlin,
Paris, Innsbruck, Padua, Copenhagen,
Heidelberg. Truly a cosmopolitan
gathering Justifying the claims on the
part of the editors that 1t is "the
most cosmopolitan Journal ever
planned" Among these foreign col
laborators in the enterprise appears
the name of j. j. Jusserand, the new
French ambassador at Washington,
who comes from Copenhagen to re-
place Monsieur Cambon. Jusserand Is
the leading French authority on Eng
fish literature. His best known work
in this country is one now used in all
colleges, on the English novel.
There seems to be some doubt as to
what the term comparative litera-
ture' means, and 1t has come in for
it's share of newspaper ridicule on the
supposition that It meant comparison
of individual authors, as for example
Winston Churchill and Mary Johnston
for the purpose of determining their
relative literary merits. Comparative
literature, however, as 1t is to be dealt
with in the Journal, deals with races
rather than with individuals, taking
the broadcast possible view of litera-
ture as a comparison of peoples, and
seeking to find in all the literature Of
