VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The gorgeous Papinta has proved the sensation expected at the Jacques with the result that large audiences are turning out every afternoon and evening to see her transcendingly beautifully mirror dances. 1t is cer- tafnly most fascinating spectacle to see the beautiful young woman in her mirrored, circle with glare of light of varying shades making her more dazzlingly magnificent as she goes through the mazes of her different dances, and the spectators sit as in trance as though they feared the breaking of the spell that would once more bring them back to earth. The ladies in particular take great delight in the almost indescribable splendors of the fire and the snow dances. and it is many weeks since the ladies have enthused so much over an act as they do over Papinta's. For the bene- fit of those who who are so deeply in- terested in Papinta's dances it may be well to state that her act begins shortly before in the afternoon and a little before 10 in the evening. The remainder of the show, too, is very fine as might be expected from a bill which includes the Quaker City Quar-. tette, MT and Mrs Allison, Tom Brown and Miss Nevarro, the Great Trevollo, Max Ritter, James and Bonnie Farley, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

A Suppressed Tennyson Poem.

In, Harper's Magazine for December J. O. Thomson has collected a large number of Tennyson's suppressed poems, some of surprising beauty Of the one quoted below and referring di- rectly to America MT. Thomson right ly asks, "What reason can Tennyson have had for suppressing such stanzas as these:
 Gigantic daughter of the west,
 We drink to thee across the flood; We know thee most, we love thee best,
 For art thou not of British blood? Should wars mad blast again be blown,
 Permit not thou the tyrant powers To fight thy mother here alone,
 But let thy broadsides roar with ours. Oh, rise, our strong Atlantic sons,
 When war against our freedom springs! Oh, speak to Europe through your guns!

COMPARISON OF W0RKINGMEN.
The British Visitors Who Have Been Studying
Us Make Report.
(By the Associated Press.)


London, April 1.-THE report of the
commission of British workingmen who
were taken to the United States at the
end of last year by Alfred Moseley, a
wealthy Englishman, to study conditions
of labor there, was issued today. 1t
presents the views of % delegates who
separately give synopsis of their de-
auctions resulting from the American
trip. The report shows a lack of unani-
nifty, except that all agree that the
British workman has nothing to learn
from the American workman, while Brit
ish employers are not as far advanced as
the Americans in the treatment of their
employees.
Mr.. Moseley says that the American
workmen has a far better education, is
infinitely better paid, housed, fed and
clothed, and moreover much more sober.
Mr.. Moseley says in conclusion:
IF we are to hold our own in the
commerce of the world, the old methods
must be dropped and the old machinery
abandoned"
He believes that some form of profit
sharing is the true solution of the labor
question. He welcomes the trusts as
best able to compete, on the most eco
nomical lines. He says the organization
of capital on the one hand and of labor
on the other, will solve the industrial
problem.
d. C. Cummings of the Iron and Steel
Ship builders, quotes the ship-builder
Cramp as saying that Great Britain's
position as the leading shipbuilder is
unassailable and unlikely to be serious
ly mcnaced for the next quarter of a
century"
Mr.. Cummings concludes with a severe
criticism of the social and moral life in
America, where he says, gambling and
pleasure seeking appear to be charac-
teristic The disregard for human life,
the corruption in politics, and other i'm
moraltities tend to the moral and physi-
cal deterioration of the people and must
be arrested if diaster is to be avoided. -
NJ Dellar, representing the National
Plasters Union, found the plastering bad
''even in the rooms of the White House
where the delegates were received by
President Roosevelt" Mr. Dollar re-
ferring to Homestead says:
"The principle shareholder might here
find a good place to spend his millions

ing people. l would for this purpose

upon military power The policy of the
United States, its attitude toward the
Latin American republics in one of help
fulness and kindly interest. We have
been generous, tolerant and sympathetic
in the past and we are going to pursue
this line of conduct in the future"

the whole world was watching 1t was
not only shaping the destinies of Ireland.
but it held in its hand the fate of the
powerful British ministry"
John Redmond, replying to an enthu-
siastic vote of thanks for his chairman
ship, declared that the convention was a
credit in every particular to Ireland.

important announcement that the amend
ments adopted by the convention would

This was the day for agreeing on the
amendments to the land bill, which are
considered essential Most of these were
proposed by William O'Brien. They COW
cred several important questions includ-
ing demands for more liberal treatment
of the contested ditricts, and of the Ia
borers. The proceedings were extreme
ly harmonious. There was an animated
but good humored discussion on the re-
tention of an eighth charge as the re-
cent charge proposed by Mr.. DaVitt and
myself, the former representing views in
favor of the naturalization of the land
while l put forward those of peasant
property. Ultimately the resolution was
adopted condemning the eighth, but re-
tanning the rent charge"
One of the most important amend
ments was that proposed by Michael
Davltt that the principle of the American
homestead law be introduced to the land
bill to Safeguard the peasants from the
results of improvident borrowing and The
operation of land grabbers and land job
bers."
In view of a misunderstanding in the
case of certain English papers, John
Redmond introduced a strong home rule
resolution declaring that the Irish ma
ton would never be satisfied until it OBJ
tanned a full measure of self govern
ment.
Michael Davitt briefly seconded The
resolution saying Irishmen would be ne
glecting their duty to the cause if they
did not send such a message to THEN
race throughout the world.
Mr, Redmond's resolution was carried
by reclamation.
