Three More Stars for the Flag.

President Roosevelt can do nothing
that will add as much to the honor and
fame of his administration as to add
three stars to the American flag" said
Mr. Theodore l.. Bragdon, OF Santa Fe,
at the Metropolitan Hotel last evening
The Territories of Arizona, New Mex
leo, and Oklahoma, which are now
knocking at the door of Congress for ad
mission to statehood, are entitled to
such recognition, and at the present ses-
sion of Congress. The United States
Government having fought for and Sc
sured for the island of Cuba it's inde
pendence, should not overlook so impor-
tant an item in current history as the
admission of these three Territories to
statehood, especially when they have
more wealth, population, and natural
resources than many OF the present
States had at the time they were admit
ted to statehood.
THE possible political complexion of
these Territories after being admitted
to statehood should not concern our
national legislators in the least AS
matter of fact the people of these Terri
tories cannot help but feel kindly to-
ward the political party that grants
them the sovereignty of statehood, and
TO this end l say that now is the oppor-
tune time to heed their demand"

Oclf Prizes.

There are more problems in con-
nection with golf than any other
game known to man. The first one,
of course, is how to speak the
language; the second is how to get
the money to pay for the necessary
tools, and the third would seem to
be how to get interested in the
game without wearing out ones
conscience doing it. But after one
has done all these things it appears
that there is another difficulty, aad
that is, how TO store the golf
prizes. Mr.. Walter J. Travis. anna
teur golf champion OF the United
States, has about one hundred cups
and trophies which he has won at
one time or another, and which he
can neither sell, store, use, nor give
away. They have overrun his cabi-
nets and taken up lot of room be-
longing to more interesting and val
liable articles. Mr.. Travis cannot
eat golf cups and he cannot drink
out of all of them. OF what use,
therefore, are they to him? They
are the visible signs OF his glory, OF
course, but glory is a thing with
very little market value when one
has so much of it. 1t is best rel
ished when taken in homeopathic
doses. The boy who has won a
prize at the high school enjoys ev
cry drop of his glory, and licks his
lips and wishes for more; but there
have been cases of men who went
half around the world to get away
from theirs because it bored them
so.
AS a matter of fact, golf glory,
when 1t takes the form of prizes.
can be overdone. 1t seems as If so
expensive game as this might
have its prizes in the form OF
cleeks or clothes or something that
would save money to the recipient. !
At any rate, these tokens Of appre-
citation need not be so bulky that |
they make his house look like the |
silver counter Of department store |
on bargain day. A man has a right |
to eat and sleep in his own domicile
without being elbowed out of it by |
his prize collection.

WHY POLITE VAUDEVILLE is POPULAR
WITH THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE


the gift Of its most extensive and permanent patron
age upon polite vaudeville 1t is easy now, for
the unnated to that it is sort of rapid transit
pleasure. The auditor is whired along. with but
short stop for refreshments, from one station of skill
fun to another, and the long journey from the
sublime to the ridiculous is accomplished almost in the
space of every program.
In polite vaudeville everything is condensed. No
act, however merorous, even great, has unlimited
scope. The panorama is kept moving The public
loves change. Before the eye ceaseIess procession
during the time of the program comedy, music, spec
tacle, dancing, all swept along There IS hardly an
act, especially of the acrobatic, juggling gymnas
tic order, that does not represent performers life
time spent in learning to do it betto: than anyone
that has gone before and different from others of its
kind.
Polite vaudeville searches the universe for novelty,
for newness, strangeness, greatness No sphere of
endeavor, science or art is uninvaded Its agents
in every cline and their watchfuncss keeps the
increasing amusement loving public the qui vlve OF
expectancy. Trey in suspense all the time as to
what nex and that's tie secret of success IN arous
ing public interest in either the denouement OF
drama or the sale of amusement wares.
Moreover, polite vaudeville is avenue by which
genius shows itself to the public in form. Ceeb
rites of the legitimate stage seek and welcome the
opportunity to appear before vaudeville audiences.
Their remuneration is prncely, and if they triumph it
is felt to be victory desirable than any other
No audience is more discriminating, more versed in
staeecraft and lore. truly judicial in determin
ing true value more honest in approving disap-
proving than vaudeville assemblage
The thing tfat is of no use, no benefit, no lasting
good, does not endure either in theatricals else
where.

Vaudeville is offshoot from variety; sort of
hohouse development of the possibilities found in
humble species, like educated, refined child Of ilt-
crate, uncouth parents.
Polite vaudeville is one remove from vaudeville
To continue the compaison it is the result of refine
ment extending through several generations. Moth
ing but ndisnct resemblance remains to fix the
connection with variety. Evolution has carried it so
far that it to have come from an independent
source. Like everything else that comes to stay, it
came because the time ripe for it. In other
words, it destined to be and it came Public
necessity was met by its creation.
Everything in these days must be faster and
cheaper and better than it decade or two ago
Once the world only knew how to dawde, now it
pines to fly. 1t must fy Some time it will fly. SO,
too, il has been with variety, then vaudeville and
lastly, polite vaudeville. The public demanded fre-
quent change during the progress of a program;
something that should be different from play some
thing that would aggregate under one head diversity
of amusement gifts and accomplishments.
AT first it throve mainly among the unlettered e!e-
ment Of the public. As ii grew in favor and scope,
employing exhibitions of exceptional talent, skill,
daring, it commended itself to the more refined audi
tors, and to distinguish this clarified, progressive de-
veiopment from the earlier rude form it was caiieu
vaudeville, either high-class refined
Polite vaudeville has thriven because a conscien-
tious earnest persistent effort has been made to have
it truly American progressive, pure and wholesome.
1t has all the diversity of variety minus its vugary,
and it possesses all the merit of hgh-class vaudeville
without its lapses from rcctitude.
Indeed and actually it IS the cleanest, liveiest,
most divering form of amusement there is, and the
public, as in good old melodranas, has exemplifed
again the triumph of virtue vice by bestowing

Remembrance.

We think Of long-pa moments,
The day We say good-by;
The tear we do not care to show
Comes stealing to the eye:
The voice that lulled us long ago
Is tremulous and sad;
The busy city far away
Has lost the charm it had;
The peacock's cry is shrill. as though
Protesting, and her hands
Are pressed against her eyes. as we
Look back where mother stands
With prayers to Him above US,
We hurry on the way,
And leave the ones who love us
Too proud. alas, to stay!
We soon forget the heartache.
The tears soon cease to blind
We soon forget 10 pray ut night
For those we leave behind;
We hurry on to gain the height.
We strive for wealth and place.
And in our eagerness forget
The dear, pathetic face
But some ones hair keeps turning
white.
And while we push ahead
A prayer God first heard long ago
For us each night is said.
Though we forget they love us
And lose our old regret,
The God who reigns above us
Knows that they ne'er forget.

Tom Mast Is Very Much Alive.

Twice within the past year l have
heard it stated that Tom Mast. the celc-
brated cartoonist, had gone to his re-
ward. but his name appeared on the reg
lister of this hotel said Mr.. Thomas
W Campbell, of New York city. at the
Arlington. last evening.
About six months ago, when that
worthy gentleman's name appeared on
the register of this hostelry. l heard a
discussion incident TO Mr.. Mast being
dead. Again this evening heard sim
liar discussion. and the authority for the
statement that MIR Mast was no more
was no less a parsonage that the Hon.
Robert j. Wynne, First Assistant Post
master General and n journalist of note
In the discussion this evening IL re-
quired the attestation OF the proprietor
of the hotel to satisfy Mr.. Wynne and
those who We're as equally as confident
that the original Tom Mast was dead
that Mr. Mast was very much alive at
the time he wrote his name on the reg
lister few hours previous"

Interviewing Gamer.

Prof. Richard Lynch Gamers re-
turn from Africa. where he has been for
the third time to study the language
and habits of the monkey tribes. calls
to mind a little incident in which he
unknowingly figured. The professor had
just returned from a previous trip, and
upon reaching the United States went
at once to Chicago. where he is connect
ed with the Chicago University. The
daily papers were anxious to get inter-
views with him in regard to his study
of the language of monkeys. The city
editor of the Chicago Daily News" sent
a young reporter on the assignment, and
had forgotten about him in the work
Of the day when the enthusiastic young
man rushed into the office and ex-
claimed:
Well. I've seen Garner. the man who
says he can understand monkeys"
Then" replied the editor, II suppose
you had no difficulty in making yourself
understood"

South Strong for Hill.

THE Democracy Of the South Is prac-
ticaliy unit on Hon. David B. Hill as a
Presidential possibility in 1904 said
Mr.. Thomas H. Carson, of Louisville, at
the Riggs House last evening. With
Mr.. Hill as the standard bearer Of the
Democratic party, and on a platform
from which the silver plank will be
eliminated, it would seem safe predic-
tion that the Democrats will carry the
day.
las to Mr.. Hills possible running
mate in the event of his nomination,
the name of Mayor Carter H. Harrison,
of Chicago, is favorably mentioned. Mr..
Harrison has almost as strong a follow
ing in the South as Mr.. Hill, and the
Democracy certainly would unite on

GOSSIP AND CHAT HEARD IN
WASHINGTON HOTEL LOBBIES
Refinement of Presidents.

THE proposition to disinter the re-
mains of the deceased Presidents of the
United States, and renter them in Ar
lingtcn, would not, to my mind, meet
the approval of many said Mr. A. T
Humes, of Cincinnati, at the Arling-
ton, last evening.
THE people of Ohio would be loath
to allow the remains of either the late
lamented President Mckinley or Presi-
dent Garfield to be removed from their
present resting places, and | doubt Il
the residents of Fremont would consent
to the removal of the ashes of Presi-
dent Hayes from that city.
I'm cases where mausoleums have
been erected, as they have been for
Grant, Garfield and Lincoln, at no small
cost, 1t would seem absurd to institute
such a movement as that referred to.
Arlington, as the hallowed resting
place of those who fought and died
for their country, or did gallant service
for it and subsequently died a natural
death, is indeed historical spot, but
the mother States of deceased Presi-
dents should be the custodian OF their
ashes to the end of time"

Chestnut Hill she is surrounded by sew
eral aunts who have entertained her
since her childhood days.
During her visits here she lives a
life of absolute rest and quiet. No
fashionable functions are ever planned

far removed from the cares and respon-

daughter of the President that she goes

Senator Mason has served his con-
