Prince Of Pilsen" visits Mr. Ransone
makes it a business to take his regular
outdoor exercise. This consists Of skip
ping rope and running mile during
the process. In a certain Pennsylvania
city recently he was followed by cur
ious crowd during his skipping rope
stunt. At first a couple of butcher boys
Joined in the chase; then three cabmen
and finally mob made of up the most
intelligent citizens as well as the police.
He was oyertaken near the depot con-
siderably out of breath. While he was
regaining this staple the police debated
whether Ransone should be taken to the
station house or to the neraest insane
asylum. They finally escorted him to
his hotel and left him in charge of the
clerk. Ransone thinks it is an outrage
that a gentleman can't take little ex-
ericse without being regarded as being
public nuisance.

So unanswerable were his arguments,
that the crew and its organs made no di-
rect attempt to answer it but tried to dis
count its effect by crying out that Mr..
Cochran had been paid to make the
speech. The irreleyancy of this attack is
too plain to need explanation. 1t will oc-
cur to most persons that lawyers
speech at the bar is none the less con-
vincing because he receives his fee from
his client. If Mr.. Cochran were retained
to array the facts and arguments in the
case of Mcclellan ct al versus the Mon
ster Fraud and Humbug Combination of
New York, T. G. Platt, manager, and to
present them to the great jury of the peo-
pie, why should his effort be any less con-
vincing than II he We're engaged in a
murder trial or breach of promise suit.
But, whatever there may have been in
the attack, it has proved complete
boomerang. 1t has simply afforded Mr..
Cochran chance to give an unqualified
and most convincing denial to SANDER
which has often been repeated. He s,l-
emnly declared that he was never paid a
cent, not even his expenses, for delivering
apolitical speech. Nobody can doubt the
sincerity of his declaration.

New York's greatest muscial comedy
success. Peggy from Paris by George
Ade of Fables in Slang" fame is estab-
fishing record for crowded houses at
Wallack's Theatre. This would seem to
prove that wholesome, American wit is
appreciated by American audiences. The
death knell of the Tenderloin musical
hodge podge, which has so long held sway
on Broadway, has been sounded and the
credit is due to Henry W. Savage whose
productions of such clean and witty
plays as king Dodo," "The Sultan of Su-
lu, .The Yankee Consul, 2 "The Prinse
of Pilsen" and Peggy from Paris" have
had most emphatic and liberal enorse-
ment on the part of the American public.
Entering upon its eighth week at Wal
lacks Theatre, Peggy from Paris with
bright lines, funny situations and tuneful
songs, has an entirely new scene written
in the second act by Geroge Ade, for
which new costumes and scenery have
been provided Mr.. AIDE has selected the
apartment house as the object Of his sa-
tire. The scene takes place in the court
yard sof the apartment and in addition to
the janitor the changes introduce groups
of his assistance, cooks, French maids
and nursemaids. 1t is one Of the funniest
