the getting up of the production and
paid much attention to its cast The
oramat1zation is the work of r and

comDlshed much in transplanting the
story and character sketches to the

The play is now in It's third year, and
ITS success has been extraordinary. No
comedy produced in recent years has
approached it in the matter of poDu-
lallIy. 1t follows the book very closely,
it is clean and wholesome. its scenes ana
incidents are diVertinS and it's full OF
humor, rugged epigrams and homelS
philosophy. The play viii undoubtedly

1t is a common occurrence to see and

theater after each performance, pucker
up their lips and whistle the motif

performance as this is the best evil

the hit in New York and SO repeatedly

There are twenty-four other songs in
The BurgOmaster" many of them of
unusual note and equal popularity.
Frank Pixley wrote the book and
lyrics and Gustavy Luders the score, and
the music of The Burgomaster" is as
bright and catchy as the lines are
clever and is brimful of the daintiest
and prettiest little airs with choruses
to match.
The comedy is presented in a pro-
logue and two acts. The prologue
shows old Peter Stuyvesant bearing up
in an admirably sanguine way, under
all the burdens which the office of Bur

characteristic method. Peter and his

Down Mobile" a romantic comedy
drama of southern life, by Lincoln j.
Garter, which win be the Offering at
the Crawford tonight, is said to contain
q succession of stirring climaXes and
realistic scenic effects The play has
been pronounced by the press and
public wherever it mas been presented
as the best exponent of southern Gus
toms offered to theatergDers in many
years. As the title suggests, Down
Mobile is placed in the south, giving a

cessful books appeal to two classes Of
people, one being the readers Of the

If the Legislature proposes to starr

People have queer ideas about car
toonists back East. as is shown by the
$4,000 salary paid Davenport, the
Hearst effigy-maker, and by the en-
pIoyment of John T. McCutcheon, the
Chicago Record-Herald's cartoonist, at
$4,000. The quality of Mr.. McCutch-
cons work is seen in the Pictorial Ser
monette" occasionally republished by
the Sunday Advertiser. The "Sermo-
nette" is not without interest; it is a
pleasant feature in a varied table of
contents. but cartoonists who would be
dear at $500 per annum could do bet
ter drawing. A study of the figures in
the "Sermonette" Of Sunday last will
set people to wondering why the great
papers should pass a man like Yardley
for example, and give $4,000 to Nc
Cutcbeon. If McCutcheon is worth

Poor old Sumner! Why can't the law
let him take what little money he has
left and go home with it? The money
is his: he has paid handsome sum to
his kindred here on condition that they
shall let him alone; he has interests in
Tahiti which need his presence and the
use OF his capital. The old man has
been kept here on one pretext or an
other for a long time; and now it is
proposed to prove him insane, despite
the fact that he has had one legal
acquittal under that head and then, by
means Of a guardian, keep him and his
money here until he dies. Then the
relatives will get the estate, minus
what they pay their lawyers. 1t is a
sad case. assuming Mr.. Sumner to be
sane, that the privileges of liberty and
the pursuit of happiness can be legally
withheld from him simply because
other people want his property.

Little papers all over the country
have blossomed out with special corre-
spondence from Washington in which
a good word for VIM. r. Hearst is
eandwiched in with more or less valu-
able news. The Independent Of this
city is on the list. Such a device speaks
well for Mr.. Hearst's thrift as well as
his cunning. II he tried to buy space In
all these papers 1t would bankrupt him;
but by hiring a man to send one Wash
ington letter a week free to a thousand
or more small papers he, in the guise
OF doing them a favor, gets their ad-
vertising space for nothing. This
scheme is a very old one and was once
used by patent medicine men to the
marked enlargement OF their incomes
One OF the most brilliant periodical
writer's in America made a good thing
out Of a free newspaper correspondence
from New York in the text Of which he
deftly wove a neat puff for some
nostrun. He simply sold the advertis-
ing space Of his free customers and
pocketed the proceeds.

next year is that of District Attorney
Folk of ST. Louis. He has no national

no surprising, inasmuch as no man the
Democracy could name would come
nearer meeting President Roosevelt on
his own ground as a reform leader.
Mr.. Folk, in his regeneration of the
boodler-ridden city OF St. Louis, has
pursued the same methods, with the
same courage and to as definite re-
suits as was the case with Theodore
Roosevelt when that leader was max
ing the public reputation which elected
him Governor of New York and Vice
President of the United States.
True. Mr.. Folk is young, but so is

accepted the leadership of the boy

While it would serve a partisan pur-
pose to have the Democracy put one of
it's worst men forward, so many acct
dents happen in politics as to make it
the duty of every good citizen to en-
courage all parties to name their best
and wisest candidates. Then, what
ever happens, the country will be safe
from the reign of Doodle politics in the
