street has seen, and there have been
several within the memories of very
young men in stock speculation. 1t has
sometimes occurred during the last few
years that two or three belonging to
this class have appeared on the stage
at the same time. For instance, James
r. Keene, John w. Gates and j. Pier
pont Morgan were trying to play the
star part at once for a year or more.
Attention was divided between them,
first one and then the other being the
most conspicuous figure in popular es-
timation. There were others of hardly
less consequence. Now, however. they
have all taken the back seat and have
given way to the mighty Mr.. Rookie
Teller aided and abetted by H. H.
Rogers and William Rockefeller.
If half the stories that are told about
the elder Rockefeller and his friends
are true this coterie must be bound
on wrecking the entire country and
swallowing everything up that is worth
swallowing. They are represented as
attacking this property and that prop
erty with malevolent intention to ruin
present holders and to wreak mys-
FERROUS revenges. Just why they
should do all these things when they
are hurting themselves more than any
body else is not clear. The Standard
Oil group has more money invested in
corporate property than any other sin
gle interest in the world. A shrink
age in business and a diminution in
earning capacity reduces Standard Oil
revenues in proportion to those Of
other people interested in the same
properties. Just now the Street and
the public are RECALLED with reports of
a Rockefeller determination to make
a meal of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and summarily dispose of Mr.. Cassatt
and his associates. For lack of more
reasonable excuses for the performance
it is alleged that he is doing this part
ly out of revenge for Pennsylvania's
opposition to Gould's invasion Of the
Eastern Trunk Line territory, and
partly for the reason that at some re-
mote period in the history of the oil
trust the Pennsylvania interfered with
the Rockefeller rebate scheme on Pc
troleum.
As stated frequently in these letters,
the Rockefeller interests have for some
time back been heavy owners OF not
only Pennsylvania, but New York Gen.
trail stock. They are also large own
ers of stock in the anthracite coal
roads. That they have increased their
investments in these properties during
the last six months is altogether like
". That they are doing this for the
double purpose OF putting their money
into something that will bring good

Washington, Nov. 21.-The ladies of
of the week. both Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Alice, visiting in New York, but
in different houses. Naturally. it does
not escape the public eye that this
step" mother and daughter spend as
little time together as possible, and,
though having mutual friends. never
by any combination of circumstances
making visits at the same time in
the same houses. Both are too well
bred for the remotest suggestion of
quarreling, but their frigid reserve to-
ward each other is well known. The
Lee family, of which Alice's delicate
mother, who died so young, was
member has never forgiven her robust
and happy successor-especiaIly since
the story somehow got abroad that
Miss Edith Carow was the quickly
consoled widower's FIRST and only
love-" Gossip? Of course it is.
Mrs. Roosevelt went to the metropo-
lis to meet her unmarried sister, who
returned a few days ago from Rome
where she has made her home for
many years. Miss Carow spent part
of the season at the White House two
years ago, and promises to be a guest
of the Roosevelts during most of the
coming winter. Since the elevation
of her brother-in-law to the presiden-
oy, Miss Carow has been a much-ob-
served figure in the American and Eng
lsh colonies of the Eternal City; but
she Is said to be devoted to literary and
artistic pursuits. with little taste for

Miss Alice Roosevelt and Miss Ethel

with the opening of the portrait show.

find their way into print from time

that she does not ride at all, much less
astride, as has been asserted. 1t is the
one accomplishment of the Twentieth
Century girl, which Miss Alice has en-
tireIy neglected-that of horsemanshiP.
she prefers a carriage to the saddle at
all times, and does not even drive her

Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the 1O-year-
old sister, and her pony, are, however,
very familiar figures on the country
roads about Washington. One of the
frequent companions of this small
maiden is Commissioner Proctor. who

obsession.
You may recall chat opium drugged tale
OF "Ligeia" by Poe, with it's sinister merg-
ing OF the souls OF two women beloved by
the crack Drained hero. In 1Trugbild'
Rodenbach attempts the dramatically i'm
possible by setting before us man who
loves the dead in tho living. His hero
Hugo Ia wealthy widower living in an old
Bruges. His existence is given over to a
mad devotion-the memory Of his dead
wife. Her pictures are everywhere--on
tie walls, on tables. in cabinets, and huge
coil Of her hair is enclosed within a crystal
Jewel box. Alone In the house, save for
the presence OF devoted housekeeper,
Hu1o parades daily with these souvenirs
OF the dear dead one. One friend painter,
visits him, otherwise his life ia clustered
one. The first act, short. slow, tells all this,
though not with much skill. The two
friends speak OF the past--in Bruges the
present seems pale and remote-and then
the bcreaved man relates an extraordinary
encounter he has had with young woman
who, SO 1t seems to him, is the apparitlon
OF his departed wife.
Act II. shows the growth Of this dellsion
He has made the acquaintance OF the girl,
who is dancer sc theatre, and he has
fallen In love with her. The painter twits
him on his infdelty to his memories. but
dcsists when he realizes the peculiar nature
OF his friends malady. A spiritualist, .
seer OF visions, this dancer ~ for Hugo
but the NATURALIZATION OF his dream.
He shocks the painter by informing him

she Ia to array herself in tho garb OF his
