AMUSING INCIDENTS
IN WAY UP EAST"

Way Up East" the Weber and Fields
travesty. which was the feature of last
nights offering at Delmar Garden. is the
most ludicrouS seen at Delmar this season.
1t is broad burlesque but it is 50 clever and
the points were SO well made that the audi
ence enjoyed the novelty. The burlesque
singing Of "All Wound Round With
Wooden String" by Arthur Whitelaw, with
Its accompanying rattle Of table cutlery and
breaking crockery, had to be given again
and again. The snow scene, too, was we'll
burlesquCd.
The performance verges on the vaudeville,
but the change is acceptable. Miss Gall!ck,
who has recovered from her illness. sang a
couple of songs-one Of them take-off on
Fougere. The ballet, under the direction Of
M. kiralfy, gave couple OF eccentric
dances. THE Seminary Girls" an intro
duced speciality by Fred Burns, and the
chorus was a travesty on the dormtory
scene IN Liberty Bellies" Instead o; one
pink pajama girl there were four AID all
could dance.
1t is announced that for the balance of
the season. because of the warm weather,
there will be matInees only on Wednesdays.
Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. There
will be free band concerts by Couturier's
band, however, every afternoon rs hereto

the programme is that Of Rose Naynon's
trained tropical birds. The stage IS a-glitter
with richly plumed cockatoos on brass
stands. swings, wheels and all possible
paraphernalia on which u bird could perch
and execute tricks. These little feathered
performers dance, turn somersaults, jump in
and out of hoops and act as if they We're

WALL STREET AND PROSPERITY.

Against the fact of the heavy stock declines in
Wall street must be set the reassuring truth that
general business throughout the country better than
usual at this Of the year and that collections
are being promptly made.
1t is beginning to be realized by the public that,
when farmers and legitimate business houses in the
various sections Of the Union are prosperous Wall
street happenings need exercise little influence in the
commercial and financial worlds. There was time
when furry in Wall street created something of
dismay in general business circles, but that time
seems 10 have passed The Spectators no longer con-
troll the situation.
In the present instance the excitement in Wall
street seems to have been caused by a fight between
certain big speculative interests. 1t has no signif-
canoe rs representing general conditions
There is no reason why the country should be
alarmed by Wall street developments in the i'm
mediate future. When the speculative interests now
in conflict have finished their fight 1.-The Street will
doubtless become normal and all will be serene once

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

In the current number of the Booklovers Magazine
the topic of THE City Possible as regards utility,
beauty and economy, is thoughtfully considered by
Mr.. Albert Kelsey in a spirit which commends it to
the earnest attention of the people of this country
pr Kelsey justly asserts that American cities all
nave some neglected opportunities for civic beauty.
European experience he tells u.s. has shown that far
from being costly, municipal improvement is an in
vesment yielding large income. The union Of utili-
ty and beauty is easily possible and its accomplish
ment may be studied in many European cities
The approach to the Cathedral Of Notre Dame by
way of the Seine is Of these instances quoted by

combination of utility and beauty in such work show
what can be accomplished in this field.
The topic discussed by Mr. Kelsey is one that is
receiving exceptional attention in st. Louis at the

KELLEY'S LETTERS.


Daniel j. Kelley mistakes the logic of his Lee let
GERS. He gives them out that he may break down
Lees testimony and acqut indicted State Senators.
Mr.. Kelley has not perceived the inevitable infer
ence from the letters. Such letters could have
been written unless there had been corrupt and
ruptibe Senators.
Lee himself had no vote except in of tie. He
could appoint committees but could do brihe givers
good unless there were bribe-takng Senators to be
appointed He could not control the of a single
measure except through Senators. Kelley admits
giving Lee various sums of money. He did not give
this money for love of Lee. He gave because Lee
stood in with certain members Of the Senate.
So far from weakening Lees testimony, the let
tiers fully establish the reasonableness the
which Lee gives of particular transactions. They ex-
pose his betrayal of public trust and his fabbness
of moral character but they tell in terms which no
man can mistake that there We're members of the
Senate for sale.
If the State show that the indicted Senator in
each case was of these marketable persons and
scap point to specific transaction the letters of Lee
TO Kelley will powerfully sustain the charge
If the defense offers the letters the State may con-
gratuate itself. If the defense does not the At
torney General should take measures to get them be-
fore the jury.

with discoored, yet wholesome, water But since We
can spare $3.50 900, 1900 O00 and since

Even $1,25O0O0 may appear to be large sum. Yet

Margarita first possessed
II remember well. my breast,
Margarita first of all;
Rut when awhile the wanton maid
With my restless heart had played.
Martha took the flying ball.
Martha soon did it resign
To the beauteous Catharine.
Beauteous Catharine gave place
CThough 10th and angry she to part
With the possession OF my hearp
To Eliza's conquering face.
Eliza till this hour might reign,
Had she not evil counsels ta'en;
Fundamental laws she broke.
And still new favorites she chose,
Till up in arms my passions rose.
And cast away her yoke.
Mary then, and gentle Anne.
Both to reign at once began;
Alternately they swayed;
And sometimes Mary was the fair
And sometimes Anne the crown did wear.
And sometimes both l obeyed
Another Mary then arose,
And did rigorous laws impose;
A mighty tyrant she!
Long, alas! should have been
Under that iron-sceptered queen.
Had not Rebecca set me free.
When fair Rebecca set me free,
Twas then golden time with me:
But soon those pleasures fed;
For the gracious princess died
In her youth and beautys pride,
And Judith reign-ed in her stead
One month, three days, and half an hour
Judith held the sovereign power:
Wondrous beautiful her face!
But so weak and small her wit,
That she to govern was unfit,
And so Susanna took her place.
