ana the approval OF the smart sets and unless
the sober second thought of the public be de-
clslVe against IL, prosperous career for it may
DE anticipated. The censorship. dramatic criti-
cism and West End patronage seem to have no
resources for discriminating against disagree
able and unwholesome plays. Bad air and faint
ed meat are liked on the stage as they were in
the evil period of the debauched Restoration
drama Those who protest against the iniu-
ences Of such pieces are considered squeamish
ana prudish. and are ridiculed for taking too
serious view of the stage. They are forced

success of such plays Mice and Men" and
quality Street" and to emphasize the fact
that there is a middle class public which pat
ronizes clean and untainted drama and makes
1t remunerative investment
These reflections are justified by the play bills
OF the London theatres this autumn. There is
good business for the box Offices for the times
are fairly prosperous and the public has re-
covered from the dispiriting influences Of the
war In South Africa and Graves cheerful enter
talnment In the play houses. The return of the
King TO Buckingham Palace and the renewal of
Parliamentary labors have filled the West End
with its permanent residents and reinforced
the audiences at the theatres. With few excep-
tons the business is better than the entertain
ment. Theatrical melodrama, vapid farce and
immoral and disagreeable plays. without social
problem or serious purpose, make Up in the main
the dis OF the playhouses. Shakespeare is neg
lected; Sir Henry Irving and Miss Terry are In
the provinces. and there is appeal 20 the
imagination. no stimulus to the mind and little
rational relaxation in the London theatres. It
is not strange that sincere lovers Of wholesome
and elevating drama turn away in disgust from
the theatres of the time and advocate. as a des-
perate remedy, municipal playhouses. where
higher literary standards can be established
and the influences of the stage be adequately
disinfected. IN

she was swung bodily from the deck and deposited
on the floor of the dock. At the car she baked

srAY-Ar-HoME REPUBLICANS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some surprising facts are revealed by an
ANALYSIS and comparison of the vote cast in the
four counties of New-York City for Governor In
1900 and 1862 a study OF the following figures
should be interesting and instructive to the lead
ers of the Republican party.
Governor odelrs plurality Of Hips in 1890 was
given IN a Presidential election year. and with the
distrust of Bryan'sm a still strong factor. HIS
plurality of about 1900 in 1902 Is surprising. es-
peciaIIy as his administration has won the COM
mendation of many of his political opponents.
A reduction in plurality may be caused in two
ways-by a swing from party TO the other, or
bv a 'stay-at- home class in one party and not
in the other study of the vote as tabulated
shows conclusivelv that stay-at-home Republicans
in New-York City caused the deere; Sc in Governor
Odelrs plurality. The increase in the Democratic
vote was ~; the decrease in the Republican vote
was SO; - taking the net decrease In total vote
81 400 The increase in the Democratc vote was
25S per cent or five in every two hundred voters,
an Increase natural with the fear of Organism
removed The decrease in the Republican vote
was 1856 per cent, or hfty-one IN every two nun
crease from the So ST. Republican decrease. the net
decrease was 81 400. 2256 cenT. The stay-at-
home Republicans at least forty live in every
two hundred. A similar analysis by counties would
10 be fifty-three in two hundred and in Kings
thrty-eight in two hundred.
II vet possible to analyZe the vote IN the
other fifty-seven counties Of the State Enough

the same conditions which existed in these fifty
seven counties obtained in New-York, Governor

MISS GOBLET NOT CAUGHT.
PRINCE HOHENLOHE'S TITLE HAD NO
WEIGHT WITH HER
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE. ]


San Francisco. Nov. 9.-some sensational rev
Citations were made to-day in The Chronicle
of a bargain alleged to have been made three
years ago by Prince Hugo Won Hohenlohe,
nephew of the late German Chancellor. to Sc
cure marriage with Miss May Goelet, one of
the richest heiresses in this country. The agent
was a former military attache to the German
Embassy in London.
The story is that he agreed for f2,O0O to bring
Prince HOhenlOhe's suit to the attention of Miss
Goelet's parents. and to employ two of the lead
ing society women of title in London in the I'M
dertaking; that he carried out his part of the
compact but that the Prince failed to find favor
in Miss Goelet's eyes because of his age, and
that the prince at first refused to pay the
agent. who finally obtained f1,1OO. Lucius
O'Brien. who was counsel for the agent, re-
veals the story. and has documents to support
it. The story has significance, because of the
recent attentions paid to Miss Goelet by Prince
Hohenlohe at Newport, and because of the So
cial success of the prnce in Newport.
1t seems from documents printed in The
Chronicle" that Prince Hohenlohe made bar
gain for Miss Goelet's hand in the same way as
various impecunous noblemen who have re-
Gently got into trouble over heiress hunting.
One of the women who were to help in the deal
saw Mrs. Goelet in February, 1899. in London.
She reported that the mother would not listen to
the proposition, as her daughter was opposed to
marriages de CONVEYANCE. Prince Hohenlohe
then made an attempt himself to secure an
interview with Miss Goelet, but when she
learned that he was fifty years old she refused
TO see him. The prince returned to Germany
and it was only the threat of a suit in Berlin,
with a full exposure of his agreement, that
forced him to settle with his agent The same
man made contracts with three other titled Ger
mans to secure American heiresSes, but they all
failed because they were too old.

about fifty railroad organizations which habitualy

The city association at Pttston, Penn, cashes
a much larger sum each month for miners. Payday
at one of the Alaska forts in midwinter has been
a time of dissipation among the soldiers. but the
association there at payday time has popular
entertainments. Since the opening of the assOcia-

one thousand men have been enrolled as members
and four saloons have been forced to close on
