THE 1RoeUo1s TREATER~
Something About the Inflated
PlaYhouse.

Charles Adams. who recently return
ed from Chicago. has one of the play
bills of the Inflated Iroquois theater.
1t contains the bill of Mr.. Blue
Beard" which was being presented at
the time of the fire.
On the front page of the bill is a
handsome picture of a clay model of
the theater. 1t is a massive building.
of roomy architecture. with huge col
umns at each side running clear to the
heavy Corinthian caDitols which sup
port the roof The end of the roof is
finished on the street in a very similar
manner to the end of the wings of the
state house here.
The building is owned by the Iroquois
Theater company and the resident own
ers and managers are Will ]. Davis and
Harry J. Powers.
Thomas ]. Noonan is business mana
ger and treasurer.
1t seems that all possible precautions
to prevent fire had been taken by the
management. The following announce
ment is made in type an inch tall:
Smoking in this theater will not be
allowed, save in the smoking room down
stairs to the right of the main foyer"
Under the gable is an immense carved
stone bearing the name of the theater.
and the rest of the distance to the
ground is occupied by highly orna-
mental archway set off with rich cary
ings, pillars and massive windows.
There are five double doorways opening
building is about 100 feet high, and is
of very unique and striking architectu-
raj design.
The Iroquois theater is located on Ran
dolph street, between Dearborn and
state streets On the several pages of
the play bill appear this legend in big
black type: absolutely fireproofi'
The play, "Mr. Blue Beard" was in
it's sixth weeks run at the Iroquois.
1t was presented there every night

and Saturday matinee. 1t is a spec
tacular production from the Theater
Royal of Drury Lane, London. 1t was
written by ]. Hickor Wood and Ar
thur Collins and adapted for the
American stage by John j. McNally
The lyrics were written by ]. Cheever
Goodwin, the music by Frederick Solo

CHINA WILL SOON RISE
And the Detested White Barons Will
Be Swept Out of the
Country.

London, March 4.-Rumons are again
prevalent of approaching trouble in China.
An anti-foreign movement within the next
few months is declared to be inevitable.
The Standard correspondent at Tientsin
says that entertainments which are being
prepared at the palace for members of
the legations are like the treacherous
friendliness that preceded the Indian
mutiny. Tung and Tuan are declared to
be the villains of the piece and the Stand
ard correspondent thinks that. the idea
once again will be the powerlessness of
the court to check rebellion. The north
ern hordes will come down under the two
exiled leaders, and nominally, .overpower
Picking. and at the same time swell their
following whit all the forces in the capital,
and begin a grand march of extermina-
ton against everything foreign. This
time, however, the Yangtse region and
every port must. rise simultaneously and
for this purpose all the Yangtse defenses
are being brought to the highest state of
effectiveness
Russia Is very much alive to the situa-
ton. The latest information received at
St. Petersburg from the secret emissaries
of the Russian legation at Picking indicates
that nearly the whole celestial empire Is
ramified by a huge network of secret boxer
committees which only await an opprtun-
| ity and given signal to sweep the detested
| white barons out of the country.

Broadway when two men. to be funny, bumped
against him. Wounded Buffalo turned around
and hit one of the men, who fell and cut his
head so badly that an ambulance surgeon put
five stitches in his scalp. IA policeman came
along and took Wounded Buffalo to a station

Cigarette Premiums.

The House committee on ways and means
has voted favorably on bill which
deserves passage at this session. 1t i'm
poses a penalty upon any manufacturer of
tobacco who affiXes to any package of to-
bacco, snuff. cigars or cigarettes a mark
label. wrapper or any other device which
promises or offers a premium TO the holder
This Is intended to stop the issue of gifts
TO purchasers of these articles in quantities
and especially to reach the nefarious prac-
tice OF tempting youthful buyers to indulge
freely in cigarettes for the sake OF pictures
knives and other premiums. Prior to 1897
this traffic had been swelled to an enormous
extent by the prize package methods en-
ployed. and thousands of boys were led into
vicious habits in consequence The Dingiey
act of that year however, checked the
practice by imposing penalty upon all
such offers accompanying the package 1t
remained IN force for five years, and Its
good effects were everywhere TO be noted

greatest number OF sets OF. flag pictures or

No Telephone Law Repeal.

The refusal of the Senate Yesterday to
entertain proposition to repeal the tele-
phone law of 1898 by way Of an amendment
to the District appropriation bill, leaves
that matter just where II was, doubtless
until next session. The agreement between
the company and the Subscribers Associa-
ton puts a stop to all litigation to enforce
that law, and SO 1t will remain imperative
as far as the private users of the service
are concerned. whatever may be its effect
upon the governments tolls. This will be
an unsatisfactory condition, as affecting
not only those already using the phones,
but especially those who desire phone serv-
ice and are deferred by the high rates.
Those who spoke yesterday for the COM
pany averred that 1t Is willing to submit to
a full inquiry at the next session into the
question of the rates. Now that the repeal
provision has been defeated there would
seem to be an urgent necessity for an even
earlier inquiry to pave the way to a worl1a-
BILE statute enacted next year to fix the
rates on the most reasonable basis. fair to
both users and corporation. The continual
ton of the law of '9S on the statute books
is undesired by the company, as evidenced
by its tender of a large sum to the Sub
scrbers' Association to reimburse It for its
expenditures III ililSHlloN But as long as
it remains IN quad It is of no use to the
public.
The situation, therefore calls for n prac-
ttcal substitute for this moribund but cur
poration-annoying law. That 1t can be
framed with comparative ease now that the
ground has been so thoroughly gone over
by committees. citizens and courts, can not
be doubted. Indeed there would seem to be
which TO base satisfactory schedule In
any event the public should not be much
longer left at the mercy of the monopoly
and 1t is just well that the Senate has
refused to sweep away even the slight bar
rier now raised between the company and
unduly high rates. There must be some
thing more tangible than promises and pro-
fessed kindliness toward the public on the
part of the corporation

Governor Garvin.

Governor Garvin OF Rhode Island is the
latest man to wake up and find himself IA
nous. The country at large knew OF course
that Rhode Island had a governor, and
those people who follow political events
very closely knew that the present occu-
pant of the chair was a democrat. but no
body had associated him with presidential
honors. 1t was left for Mr.. Bryan to do
this, and now the governor Of Rhode Island
holds for the moment the center Of the stage.
1t is to be doubted. however. II his nomi-
nation by Mr.. Bryan will serve as more
than temporary advertisement. II New
England Is to be drawn upon for the demo-
cratic leader for next year Mr.. Olney has
claims superior not only to those Of Gov
ernor Garvin, but to those OF every other
democrat OF that section, and Mr.. Bryan

Street Duels.

The pistoi-carrying habit Is a dangerous
one In any case. for even the worst shots
may chance to strike a human being when
they open fire. Pistols In the hands Of
experienced marksmen are only a shade
more dangerous than when they are WELD
cd by novices. In any case the law should
regard not the results OF fusi1lade. but
the violation of its provisions In the pos
session and discharge Of weapons. The other
night in New York two men who had for a
week been harboring bitter resentment
toward each other met In Broadway and
at once drew pistols and began firing
Each fired six shots, exhausting his
charges. Out Of the twelve bullets fired at
close range in u crowded thoroughfare only
four hit anything. Two went through the
wrist OF one of the dueiists. another grazed

The Antitrust Legislation.

If it shall prove to be true that the pas
sage by the House of the Eikins bill COM
pletes the antitrust legislation of the ses-
sion even those who would go further
will yet have much to be thankful for.
The Littlefield bill has not been abandoned,
but there are difficulties In its way in the
Senate which may cause it to fall With
out that, however. material progress has
been made. when We consider that at the
beginning OF the session predictions were
uttered that nothing at all would be done.
To sum up:

suits now docketed under the Sherman law
should yield good results Lawyers of dis
tinction, ex-senator Edmunds among the
number. hold that the law Is stronger than
the efforts to enforce it would Indicate. In
other words. a little more ginger on the
part of the government is recommended
The ginger has now been arranged for. and
We shall see what there may be in that
view. The sum appropriated Is ample for
the purpose indicated.
C2) Publicity has had many advocates. 1t
likewise has had many opponents. The
trusts have fought 1t with might and main
The Standard Oil Company directed all of
its efforts against that feature Of what was
ried. and we shall now get the benefit of
whatever there may be In that remedy. If
it yields as it's advocates have promised,
and more may be obtained by broadening
that provision, the next Congress can at
tend to that.
CD The ~Elkins bill seems to have met
with general favor. Even the trusts have
forborne to fight that. 1t Is not to be
judged. however, by its failure to arouse
trust opposition. The manipulation OF rail-
road rates to the advantage of trust ship
pers has been vigorously complained of, and
by prohibiting rebate schemes Congress has
undoubtedly acted In the interests of the
general public. The measure ought to
prove a valuable factor in the anti-monop-
oily movement
The value Of this legislation, is enhanced
by the fact that it was enacted practically
by a union Of both parties. Only a few
votes were recorded in opposition. The
democrats 1t is true chaffed the republi-
cans in debate, and made signs of great
impatience to go further but that was only
politics. Had the responsibility rested upon
them, the aggressiveness of their attitude
and deliverances would probably have
been materially softened. The middle course
is usually the one stesred by the party in
power. and 1t was Well enough to steer 1t

Offensive Demagogy in Congress.

From the New York Herald
Some queer persons certainly do find their
way into Congress! Intelligent Americans
are amused and at the same time mortified
by such exhibitions as that of Thursday,
when sundry representatives displayed their
ignorance and vulgarity in comments upon
the Executive Mansion and the social life
of the President. With the growth Of the
country the scale of private living and the
cost of government have risen, and it would
scarcely befit the dignity of the nation
which has become q power throughout the
world to have it's chief executive receive
the ambassadors and representatives of
other nations in a manner that would COM
port with the notions Of these representa-
tives who are SO extraordinarily democratic
in the speeches for buncombe." The day
has gone by when mean and vulgar crit
icism of the demagogic sort that disgraced
the House last Thursday can appeal to
even the least intelligent constituency In
the United States. and its authors invoke
merely contempt and ridicule.

The Boycott at Waterbury.

A Waterbury, Conn. groceryman has lust

cause Of the boycott placed upon him by
the striking street car workers, who resent
ed the patronage OF the car line by his
wife. This is the most conspicuous case of
persecution which has thus far been report

been in force now for some time and
every person who rides on the cars is spot

ance If after warnings those who ride on
the cars persist in thus accommodating
themselves they are subjected to infinite
difficulties by the strikers and their active
sympathizers. Physicians are warned not
to attend patients who have thus been put
