Affie Warner and Lulu Tabor were
identified with the part for several sea-
sons, and one of the first and most
notable imperSonators was Laura Burt,
who was the first Madge to be seen in
London. Miss Burt played the part for
many seasons. One of the prettiest Of
the Madges was Elsa Ryan, who had
the role for two seasons and afterward
joined the King Dodo" company and
later starred On her own account, as
Stunning a hoydenish part in a Western
.melodrama called Nevada
Alice Treat Hunt played the part one
season and was well received through
out the country, but the present Madge,
Miss Bessie Barriscale, is the very best
of the lot. She is scarcely more than
child, either, having just passed her
eighteenth birthday, but she had long
training as a child actress, and when
the part of Madge was offered to her
she was prepared to undertake it be-
cause of her previous training. Her
success in the role last season was
phenomenal. and she received the most
f1attering of notices from the press
throughout the country.
Other woman who have played
Madge are Bettina Gerard, who was
the first woman to play it on the road;
Lizzie Evans, Nellie Elton, Hattie De-
laro Barnes and Alice Riker.

STILL DOING BUSINESS.

Magelssen, of Fillmore county, Min
nesota, came very near to getting his
picture in the paper. AS it is. he owes
something to the press of the United
States.
The Globe has no personal ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Magelssen. That
he is a distinguished citizen, an orna-
ment to his age and time, has been
demonstrated by his eulogists. The
mere fact that he might have been
casus belli ought to help Fillmore
county bit He was killed by Turk
the other day But the report of his
was greatly exaggerated. He is still
able to sit up and take nourishment.
MageIssen, of Fillmore, overlooked
the opportunity of his life when he
lodged the bullet of the assassin. He
might have served as the reason for
the putting out of the Turk. We had it
all fixed to avenge his death by taking
Constantinople and turning the Mosque
of Sophia into a museum to contain
the bones Of Abdul Hamid and some of
the veritable bowstrings that he has
been using of late on the Russians
1t is too bad that Magelssen did not
take advantage of the opportunity that
was presented him. AS vice consul at
Beirut he cannot expect much in the
way of preferment. Eventually he may
become consul-but there is always the
possibility that Senator Knute Nelson
may give up his job under the stress
of the Van SAINT attack. and then what
would become of the man from Fill
more?
Obviously Magelssen is a bad man
ager. He ought to have got himself
into the same class with the person
who fired the Ephesian dome.

PLENTY OF USE FOR SILVER.

There is no reason in the world why;
cease, or why the government should
not continue to purchase bullion for
this purpose as it has been doing. On
the contrary if the authorities choose
to order it so, they may easily open
up use for the white metal that will
absorb large product for many years
to come. 1t all depends upon whether
the government furnishes small notes
or coin in it's shipments of currency.
This is wholly a matter of local pref
erence, and the opinions of the people
are very much divided. On the Pacific
coast, for instance, the small bill is
unknown. For the matter Of that,
thing of a curiosity. The people have
adhered to the custom, adopted in the
early days of the gold discoveries, of
using that metal almost solely in or
binary business transactions. If you
want bills instead of gold at a bank
when you get check cashed, you have
to ask for them. And for all lesser
sums nothing but silver is employed.
If you hand out a small bill to a man
there, the chances are that he will re-
fuse to take it until he has asked for
the metal instead. His objections,
which seem to be we'll taken, are that
this currency is usually filthy, is easily
lost and is a general nuisance And
nobody in the community finds the
slightest inconvenience from the ex-
elusive use of metallic money.
In the cities of the East the opposite
rule prevails. 1t is all matter of habit.
The people there have become accus-
toned to handling small bills and want
nothing else. If silver dollars are Of
fered in change, which seldom happens,
they grumble outrageously; talking
about cart Wheels" complaining of the
bulk and weight of even a small vol
ume of money of this character, and
demanding notes instead. Through the
Middle West there is a middle ground
of custom; both use and preference be-
ing divided between the bill and the
coin. And in ordering currency ship
ments, bankers usually cater to the
wishes of their own constituencies.
1t has long been evident that great
opening for the use of silver could be
| made by disseminating the circulation
of notes of less than SIS in value.
The gradual retirement of these would
make room for a great volume of the
actual coin. The constantly expanding
| needs of the people for currency, as
population grows and business in
creases, would keep the minis turning
out reasonable quantity of these me-
tallic pieces. And experience has shown
that the choice between the metal and
the paper is wholly a matter of custom
that can be changed or governed by
use. The complaint that the public is
averse to the silver dollar on the ground
of its inherent Inconvenience is COM
pletely answered by the situation on
the Pacific coast, where the people will

TRADE PESS|M|STS
ARE POOR PROPHETS
Weekly Review Shows None of
the Evil Prophecies Full
filled.

NEW YORK. Aug. 28.-R. G. Dun &
CO.'S review of trade tomorrow will
say:
There is still no indication of the
depression in trade and industry that
pess1mists predicted would follow the
decline in securities. Conservatism
was developed by the uncertainty re-
gafdlng the effect upon financial condi-
tons, but legitimate business is liable
to receive funds as they are required
and the progress of building gives
promise of greater permanent gains.
! Weak spots have been disclosed and
the technical position strengthened just
as occurred in the stOS, market. Re
adjustment after a period of imitation
must of necessity bring some losses,
yet the outlook is frightened by the
scattering of industrial clouds. Dis
patches from all sections testify as to
the liberal distribution of merchan-
disc and the disposition to prepare for
greater consumption of all the neces-
saries of life, while the crops are max
ing good progress aside from some
cotton districts in Texas. The number
of buyers in New York is increasing
and heavy fall trade is anticipated.
1t is gratifying to find that consum-
ers of pig iron have at last decided to
place contracts without waiting for fur

larger number of contracts Offered and
this is the most important indication of
more prosperous condition in the steel
industry. 1t is reported that a larger
amount than ever of steel rails will be
ordered for delivery in 1904. There is
fair business in plates, sheets and
bars, but an effort to sell an oversupply
of billets has produced temporary
weakness in that division
There is sufficient business on the
books of New England shoe manufac-
turers to assure full operation of ma

but small offerings maintain imported
hides. Thus far the liberal jobbing
trade in dry goods has not affected the
situation at the cotton mills where the
percentage of idle machinery has in
creased. Woolens are quiet and the

been forced to recognize, but there is a
very evident determination to hide the
guilty behind pronunciamento against
them which sounds very like buster.
The country needs badly to have the
light turned on at Washington. 1t will
not get it while the administration OF
affairs remains in the hands that WELD

Roosevelt dishonest, but we know that
he is in the power of politicians for
whom as much cannot be said and
whom he dare not at this time either

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Secretary Shaw Decides to segresate
and Deposit Them.

WASHINGTON, D. D., Aug. Is
The published statement that Secre-
tary Shaw had decided that under ex-
listing laws he was authorized to segre-
gate government receipts from internal
revenue sources and deposit them in
national bank repositories does not
raise new question. although such
deposits as have been made heretofore
had not been previously covered into
the treasury. AS early as 1878, it is
said, the courts held that national
bank repositories are parts of the
treasury of the United States so far as
their authority to hold public deposits
is concerned.
The secretary. with a view to meet
ing any possible money contingency
hereafter, has segregated the internal
revenue receipts from other receipts
and has opened separate account tn
the treasury ledgers so that in case OF
need he may know just what amounts
are available for this purpose.

AN HONEST BOAT.

Sir Thomas Liptons published ut
yachts as they are made today is char
acteristic of the man on whom. in the
very beginning of life. circumstances
forced an appreciation Of the useful
italist has not forgotten the cabin boy
who Learned to love the strong bolts
and the solid planking and the sails
that babe the wind do their worst
nor that still younger boy who, stand
ing on the banks of the Clyde, watched
the fisher boats and the ships that put
out to sea and eIoved the strength and
honesty of them ALL America has
come to know Sir Thomas Upton too
we'll to attribute to spleen his criticism
of the American type of racing yacht.
Moreover the article he has contributed
to the current Cosmopolitan was pre-
pared before any trial Of speed had
been made between Reliance and Sham
rock Ill, and Americans generally Will
doubtless be disposed to accept 1t as
the honest opinion Of practical man.
Had Sir Thomas succeeded in lifting
the cup this year, according to his own
statement yacht racing would be revo-
lutionized while the cup remained in
England at any rate. IF l have any
voice in the matter the chaHengers
must build an honest boat, healthy
boat, real boat to meet the defender
on the other side" BY this, Of course,
the writer means boat that will not
have to be thrown on a scrap heap,
once she has displayed her prowess.
His ideal of racing yacht is one
that unites usefulness. safety and
speed. His Yankee competitors ideal
of such a craft is one that possesses;
speed. It is not unnatural that Sir
Thomas should desire to beat the fast
Yankee on the latter's corner of the big
pond, and then to confront him on the
other side with a different kind of
craft. Perhaps it is this ambition that
has induced him to cross the pond a
third time.
ALI sports are more or less costly, but
yacht racing has been, quite flttlngly,
termed the sport of millionaires. The
horse that wins the Derby this year
is not considered useless for further
trials A polo pony's value is enhanced
by the experience it has had in pre-
vious games. An automobile racer
may become a touring car. But the
yacht that wins this years race is near
ly always counted out of the race next
wear, because of the fact that each
year sees some improvement in the ra-
cling model. And the old model once
abandoned, its day of real usefulness is
over.
But the Yankee is royal sportsman.
He may have won his millions by the
hardest kind of work. but he forgets
the grubbing when he becomes inter-
ested in a sport. He spends his money
freely and is quite content If the horse
he has backed OR the yacht he has
built wins. Therefore it is probable,
in spite of Sir Thomas criticism, that
so long as the cup remains on this side
of the water, the challenger will be
forced to meet a defender that pos
sesses speed which has been obtained
at the expense of all unitarian quail
ties.
