and when the people greet him as your highness'' and prince he concludes that they are honoring his worth as a brewer. He is shown to suit of twelve rooms and never allowed to pay for anything, and he is surprised, but much pleased. His daughter meantime does not know her fathers interpretation of all this honor and is much worried, but is stopped in polite ways when she would try to explain. The widow takes to the old man, and he is thanked for services he never performed. All this makes funny situations, and when the real prince does arrive he decides to look on incog. for awhile and forthwith falls in love with the brewers daugh- ter.

Helen Bertram a. the Widow.

Helen Bertram played the widow She wore some lovely gowns and looked we'll, but her singing, while good, took second place. Her superior in that line was Lillian Coleman, who played the brewers daughter Nellie, and this young lady had decidedly the best voice of the company. Carl Otto,-the prince of Pilsen, was sung by Arthur Donald son, and while he was in good voice, his work was in no way startling, but was satisfactory. Lieutenant Tom Wagner was Albert Parr, and he made a fine appearance. His singing was best in the song of "The Naval Ca dets" Edgar Norton as Arthur St. John Wilberforce was excellent and played the English dude with taste.

Elberfeld for Detroit, Long for New York and Davis for Chicago should give the fans exhibitions of short field work that rival the performances of the days when Glasscock, Ward and Williamson were in their prime. Many experts consider the shortstop niche the hardest on team to occupy and the satisfactory filling of which has principally to do with the success of a team. In this opinion, however, pitch CTS are not considered. as they form a department by themselves.
 With the addition of Corcoran of Cin- cinnati and Hulswitt of the Phillies, the Americans would have a complete cor ner on the market in shortstops. Cor coran had been a top notcher for seven or eight years, and Hulswitt made his reputation by his splendid work last summer.
 Who Is the Best shortstop.
 It is difficult task to pick out the American league shortstop who is en- titled to be termed the best. Each has some conspicuous point of merit. Monte Cross is one of the best throw CTS in the business, and this accomplish ment enables him to cover great deal of ground. He can line the ball over to first base from left field as easily as he

Nationals Have Lost More Players.
 The teams in the National league pre-
 sent a front vastly different from that
 of last year. The American league, un-
 der the effective guidance of President
 Ban Johnson, has made still further in
 roads into the ranks of the Nationals, and at the present time his hustl1ng or
 ganization may truthfully be said to pos
 sess more individual stars than the Ma
 tional. But this state of affairs con-
 stitutes phase of what some folks are
 pleased to term the fortunes of war"
 and all fair minded observers must ad- init that if one warning body proves stronger and astute enough to secure an advantage over another the victor has rightful claim to the spoils In deed, some of the green diamond epi- erammatists are so bold as to para phrase a familiar quotation, saying 'sAll's fair in love, war and baseball. While it is very true that the Amer ican league has taken extreme meas ures in securing certain players of the National persuasion, yet, on the whole, their principal mode of attack lay in of fering these players sums of money far in excess of the reward the older or sanitation gave for their services. If the Nationals did not deem it expedient to meet these offers, they have but
 themselves to blame.
 keeler,s Change to the Americans. Probably the most serious inroad of Americans on the Nationals this year
 so far as the players are concerned has been the securing of Wee Willie Kee- l Ter for the New York team. Keeler was the most popular player in the National 1 and was the mainstay of Ned Hanlons S | Brooklyn Superbas. He alone, it may l well be said, was the player capable of | drawing big crowds to the BrooIxlyns ! splendid grounds at Washington park, ! and his loss leaves Hanlon in despair. l The able manager is doing his best, of l course, to fill Keeler's place, but he has an impossible task before him.
 I As captain of the Brooklyns last year l Keeler did good work with inferior ma- terial, and it is doubtful if his successor will produce such satisfactory results. l The Nationals were also disappointed l in not being able to control the services | of Ed Delehanty for this season s.Dep, l was, reported to have accepted several | hundred dollars advance money from l one of the National teams, and it was l stated that he would not be seen in the
 ranks of the Americans. There's many 1 a slip, however, 'twixt the player and I the contract, and "Del' is certain to re-
 main in the Johnson fold.

cynthfa should Be Chained.

She might be truer in parts little heavier, but as a butterfly and silly grownup child she is not good. Such a being as Cynthia does not exist in an unclaimed condition, am sure, for her folly and ignorance would prove too dangerous to be allowed freedom. Miss de Wolfe is accorded good taste in dress by all her critics, and her wearing ap- parel is so frequently made the main topic for criticism that it reminds me of
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-04-04

almost an anomaly, for she is nothing
 more than good leading woman and is not beautiful nor particularly grace full. In her effort last year she played the principal role in The Way of the 3 Worlds and was eclipsed by her own support, Miss Bloodgood. In Cynthia" the beauty of the heroine is so fre- quently mentioned that rather shock is experienced when Elsie de Wolfe appears. The play is in three acts and the third should be eliminatede A cli- max is reached in the second act which should end the play, but much good work could be done if new second act were written and the present one made the third and last. The third act now has no raison d'etre whatever except to produce sort of genteel skirt dance which is scarcely worthy of the name and which. to say the least, is rather undignffied for woman of the dignity of the star. As to the affinity of the ac- tress for the role of Cynthia, there is none. It is incongruous, and the two do not assimilate. There is not true note in~the first act, but in the later period there are fieeting moments of sentiment when peeps of reality evince themselves.

ofselling goods is to make
profit on them. All agree
on that score. But how
much profit should there
be? There is a decided
divergence Of opinion on
this point. Some go in
for enormous profits.
Those are the very fellows
who, sooner or later, are
on the wrong edge of the
situation. We, on the
other hand, never dream
of large profits-what we
want is a fair comfortable

tie get both. We hustle
enough to save money in

usually are kept busy dis
