The Lafayette-Kiralfy's Production

A dramatization of Jules Verne's ia
miliar story, Around the World ii
Eighty Days is at the Lafayette Thea
ter this week, and is an entertaining
performance.
The features in the main are spectac-
ular, and the reputation which the Nir-
alfys made years ago for high class bal
let Is maintained in the present produc-
tion at the Lafayette.
There are number of exciting and
interesting scenes, among them the at
tack on a train by band of Indians, tnc
attempted burning of the Rajah Naka-
hira's widow and other specially con-
ceived situations for which the author
is noted. The scenery is elaborate and
the costuming attractive.
A capable company interprets the
piece. chief of which is Edgar Foreman,
who. as the valet, Passportout, claims
most of the comedy honors. The actor
completely rejuvenates the role and con-
tributes much to the success of the
piece. Others in the cast are Joseph
Slaytor. as Phineas Fogg: Agnes Ardeck,
an excellent actress. as the Princess
Aouda. and others. The ballet is we'll
trained, and executes some extremely
difficult figures.

In an old book now out of print the

dote OF the original John Jacob Aston:
He was asked one day what was the
largest amount of money he had ever
made in one transaction. This he de-
clined to answer. but said that he
would tell the largest sum that he
failed to make. Then, he went Oh to re-
late how he, Dewitt Clinton and Gov
Morris had planned to buy Louisi
ana from France and sellit again to the
United States government, retaining
the public domain, and charging en-
per cent. commission. They changed
their minds, and Mr.. Astor said tina,

find one who ds getting good wages.

eight-year-old Walter Slattery, OF
Bath Beach who, when his five-year-
old cousin, Alma McNally, fell through
the ice, bravely held her head above
water for is minutes until man
came to his rescue. In Bloomfield, N.
j., woman was walking along rail-
road embankment carrying basket
of clothes on her head when she heard
the cries of Frank Serene, a skater,
who had broken through the ice. She
ran to him and wisely threw to him
an end of her blanket. Serene
grabbed 1t but the blanket parted in
the middle. Diregarding the danger
OF breaking through, the woman
stretched herself on the Ice, seized the
skaters hands and pulled him out.
Without telling her name she placed
her basket on her head and went her
way. Then the action in New York
of the Rapid Transit Contractors as
ISOLATION and the Rapid Transit Sub
way Construction company recalled
the bravery of William Tubbs, the en-
gineer who lost his life while endeav-
oring to put out the flames in the
dynamite magazine at Forty-second
street on Monday. Tubbs knew per-
fectly the peril that he faced without
finching, and he sacrificed his life In
consequence. No man can do more.
Nor was the heroism of the two wom-
en- nurses from North Brother island,
who were caring for 13-year-old girl
suffering from smallpox in tent on
the grounds Of the Smith infrmary
at New Brighton, Staten island, any
thing more, in their opinion, than an
act of duty. Isolated and exposed to
the. gale of Monday night this tent
was practically wrecked and the stove
which heated it rendered useless. The
patient began to grow cold. Realizing
that she would die if she could not be
kept warm these nurses got into bed
with her aud by the warmth of their
bodies saved her life. They declined
to give their names for publication be-
cause that would violate department
rules. We are proud to record these
cases. though courage is not uncom-
mon. Whether it be the instructive
courage of the small boy, OF the cour.
age born of the engineers sense OF
duty or the nurses devotion to her pa
tient, courage is always something
great.

reputation for correct figuring, has
lust made public his calculation of
the cost Oh cur Philippine adventures
up TO date.
Up to June 80, 1902, by his reckon
ing the total cost of five years of war
first with Spain and since with the
Eillpinos, was 1860, 100000, about one
half of which was spent on warfare
in the coded islands The cost of our
operations in the Philippines for the
fiscal year that ended June 30, 1901,
was S144, 900, O00--or s1.S6 per head for
the entire population of the United
States.
On the credit side Of the account,
as the total Offset to this huge annual
expenditure, Mr.. Atkinson places our
increased exports to the islands which
now amount in value to the "magni-
fcent total of a little over So, 500,0 00,"
or not quite five cents per head for
the total population of our country.
These exports MI. Atkinson thinks,
"may pay a profit of one ntper head
of our popula tion"-say 100000.
Spending sl44, 100000 year to get
back $4,000 precisely expressed,
therefore, the business results of our
expansion in Asian. Y. World.

excited for sure the other day, and
with good reason. The big "bull whis-
tie" of the rubber factory blew furious
iy. The whistle is the signal for fire,
and the continued roar alarmed the
town. A man was found clutching the
end of the whistle rope, which hangs 16
feet above the ground. He explained
that he was repairing valve on the
drying apparatus when his ladder
slipped and he clutohed at the nearest
thing. 1t was the longest and loudest
alarm of fire the town had ever KIN own,

The People and Governmental
Policy.

II it were not for the sublime COM
placency of many American people,
and the faith they have that every
thing they do or that is done in their
name is right from every point OF
view, they would now be somewhat
doubtful of their own infallibility.
Such disquieting thought would &C
company the consciousness that the
only one of their national administra-
tions that ever made so much as a
pretense to enforce laws against trusts
is an accidental administration! The
artisans of the administration can
not take any credit to themselves fol
a policy that many Of them now pre-.
tend to admire and approve, for they
have previously given the most posi-
tive assurances that the course pur,
sued by the former administrations
was to their liking, and to that extern
invited the present one to follow the
same path. Would it not be difficult
for the aforesaid partisan to acqui
themselves of the charge that an ad
minlstration of their own making
would not be a prosecutor OF trusts:
Where would they find the evidence
that they ever desired such an admin
istration? Surely it would not b
found IN their endorsement of forme
administrations OF their making. Th
situation is not complimentary to
people assuming to be "self-goverr

educational ques-
ton, according to
the Milwaukee Sentinel. 1t has been
argued that the victory or defeat of
n college in the annual athletic con-
tests influenced the number Of fresh
men who applied for matriculation
For instance, it has been believed that
when Harvard lost at football young
men ambitious to be freshmen imme-
diately scorned the defeated uni
versity. On the other hand, when
Harvard won in the regatta the foot
ball influence was said to be offset,
and in the years when victory was
general the freshman class was ex-
pected to be crowded. President Eliot,
who has compared the rerults of foot
ball games and college entries for the
Is no relation between athletic VIC
tory and defeat for Harvard and th9
increase and decrease of preliminary
candidates In the following years.
He shows that in 1894, 1895, 1896, years
OF uniform defeat were followed by
substantial increase in the freshman
class, and that 1899, year Of victory,
was not productive Of an overwhelm-
ing rush to the college. In comparing
Yale and Harvard he has discovered
that although Yale has been the more
successful in athletic sports, Harvard
has gained the greater number of stu
dents. This news will be q great relief
to American parents. The idea that
their sons We're led to choose col
lege according to it's athletic reputa-
ton has been naturally rather dis
tressing. There has been for some
time growing belief that Drawn, not
brain, is needed for successful uni
versity career. The assurance now
that the youths of the land are becom-
ing willing to ally themselves with an
institution that does not win in foot
ball shows there must be healthful
reaction in sentiment. President
Eliot has performed valuable serv-
ice to the cause of education in thus
proving that college which is weak
in athletics and strong in classics has
chance for success.
