rate ever given TO a play of its
class. The FIRST act shows a typi-
cal village depot with its trunks,
moving trains, loafers and other
characteristic equipment; the sec

Cross, one of the handsomest church
settings ever made; the third act
shows the exterior and also the III
terror Of an opera house with the
curtain up and the performance in
progress, a very unique and thrill

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed TO talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your

might have said, if he had thought
of it, "If a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under
half bushel.

all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid white
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear to you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you

Interest on tho Public Debt.

As regards interest on the public debt,
the figures of the Harrison udmnistra-
ton that intervened between the two
Cleveland administrations are of inter-
est. The interest payments for the year
1892, the last year of Republican rule,
were S23,37S, 1G. as against $5l,5SO, 146
for the first fiscal year of Cleveland's
first administration. Then. during Cleve-
lands second administration the public
debt was increased $500, 100000, and the
interest payments, which in 1892 amount
ed to $23.37S, 116, in 1897 amounted to
S37.791, 40 But in 1904 the interest
on the public debt was only $24G46.49O,
this reduction having been due chiefly to
the economy rendered possible through
the financial act of March, 1900, which
nearly every Democrat in Congress voted
against.
The most important increase in eSpend-
itures under Republican rule has been for
the navy-aud this policy Of upbnilding
the navy was pet policy of the late w.
C. Whitney, President Clevelands Secre-
tary of the Navy, whom Democrats often
term the father of the modern American
navy. During the Cleveland years, ex-
penditures for the navy increased $1O,-
OUO.OOO. and the Navy Department cx-
psnditures for 1901, compared with those
for 1897, Cleveland's last year, show
an increase of SGSOOO,OOO. the bulk of
which increase is for construction of new
ships.
In consideration of the fact that the
United States has increased nearly so

100 per cent. in wealth since Grover
Cleveland was first inau-urated. the in

HER GIFT A GRAVE.
Somewhat Strange Present Made by
Mother-in-LaW.

A New York widow, whose husband
has been dead about year, received
an invitation few weeks ago from
her mother-in-law to make visit to
her home In little town not far
from Boston. The letter said that she
and her husband had something they
wanted to give her.
Wondering what the gift could pos
sibly be, the widow made the visit.
1--WE must go to the cemetery" said
the New England woman.
After short drive they came to the
old church, and soon they were seated
on a mossgrown bench in the family
lot.
"I am going to be buried here" the
mother-in-law began. pointing out the
place. land my husband will be buried
beside me. Your husband lies here
and you can be buried at his side II
you wish. There. Mary, is your grave.
II you will take it. That was the lit
tie gift spoke Of in my letter."
The matter-of-factness of the gift
so that she could neither accept nor
refuse the offered grave. The mother.
in-law seemed to take 1t for granted
that she would take 1t. Later in the
day she remarked: What relief it
must be to you, Mary, to know that
you have a grave and that no one
can take 1t away from you"

There's one funny thing about pie"
said New York boss pie founder the
other day. That's the way Dutchmen
can't make 'em.
almost every ether kind Of baking
Is In the hands of Germans. and
don't deny that they make good snails
and pretzels and rye bread and sink
ers. But they are no good on pies.
And why? Because to take
thing right you've got to like 1t. and
could appreciate a good American pie.
They don't like 'em and can't make
'em right. a
at takes a Yankee, who can under
stand the fine points OF good pie.'
Our bakers just live on pie-eat 1t all
the time-and they're the healthiest
gang of men you ever met.
why, out West they've got pie
baker that's a pugilist. and mighty
good one. and he trains on pie. That's
right. If he doesn't get proud and
shake the pie-works. expect to see
him champion.
Pretty nearly every town in this
country with more than 100000 inhab-
itants has its pie factory with mon
opoly of the local business. We've
figured it out. and found that a town
smaller than that won't support fac
tory. But. of course the business
goes best in New England, where they
appreciate pie.
And here's something funny. All
you newspaper people seem to think
there's something funny about pie.
The alleged comic tramp always
steals pies from the young housewife.
If any one gets soaked with anything,
it's always pie.
whats funnier about pie than
about a doughnut or hunk or rye
bread or pretzel? But you fellows
seem to think that pie will draw the
laugh every time. Why? Honest,
now, why?
up in Boston, where they've
learned what pie. eaten in modera'
ton, can do for the human body and
brain, they don't josh it. No, sir. It's
pie for breakfast right along with the
champagne on the tables OF all the
best families in New England"

A GREAT QUALITY.
Roosevelt Quick to Think and Act,
but Always Wisely.

President Roosevelt is being attacked
as possible danger to the country be-
cause of his alert, quick mind and prompt
action. The scare-cat variety of politi-
clans are crying him down on this is
sue.
1t is a common error. the belief that
because man thinks quickly, and acts
promptly in an emergency, he is rash
or dangerous individual. To the slow
man, one whose mental processes are nat
urally labored, it is incredible that an
other mind, differently constituted from
his own, may arrive almost instantly
at the solution of a question which would
occupy the attention of the heavier NOV
ing brain for a long time.
Celebrity of Judgment and action are
characteristics of some very great men,
though not by any means is this an at
tribute of them all. Whenever this quail
ity is conspicuous in a man, his critics,
friendly and adverse alike, accuse him
of rashness. After long trial such
man often convinces his friends that his
instant judgment was well founded, his
prompt action well taken. But his enc
mics never will allow this.
A practical illustration taken from the
most commonplace fields of life shows
how unfounded is the idea that quick
horseman, football player, a locomotive
engineer, a woodsman telling a tree, all
these at times must instantly grasp a sit
uation, judge accurately as to distances,
chances and certainties, and act, with
the rapidity of light, upon the minds di-
rection. dispatch is the soul of bust
ness" This is the motto of every
great manipulation in the field of business
and finance. The money-makers decide
instantaneously, in crisis, and he who
most quickly thinks, and thinks right,
acting boldly upon his own judgment, is
the winner. There was never any such
thing as successful fighter who was
slow of brain, languid in motion.
1t is a great quality, that of being
able to think quickly, and think right
horses that they .'look over the whole
ground" There are men who do the
same thing. taking in the entire situa-
ton in one comprehensive glance. The
born soldier does this. So does the born
statesman.
When the ship of state is headed to-
ward the rocks the executive officer must
be quick to see and prompt to steer away
from the danger. To wait would be ia
tai. When advantage to the State is
waiting, the executive head should be
instantly alert to the potentialites OF the
moment, and competent to act upon the
case at once, for opportunity waits for
no man.
Because the mass of men are slow in
thought, scattered as to attention, late
in action. they should not suspect the
quick, alert, concentrated minds of men
more gifted than themselves. AS n mat
ter of fact, the public admires, trusts
and believes in the man of quick thought
and action. 1t has more faith in the
man who knows his own mind than it
can have in the man who waits for help
from within or without to make it up.
Events have shown that President
Roosevelt thinks quickly and thinks
right; that he acts promptly, and wisely.
What more could be asked, brethren of

business men do not, when they adver-
tise for a stenographer, add the words,
mo pretty girl need apply" but they
go on that principle. 1t appears that
they fear frlvolity as an accompant-
ment of beauty. 1t Is possible that
this is a good and safe rule in Phila-
delphia, but 1t is certainly not rule
that Is honored here, and we doubt II
1t is in any city where feminine beau
ty is not so rare as to excite suspicion
when 1t occurs. Nor is there the
slightest ground for the assumption
that a pretty woman is likely to be
any more frivolous than a plain one.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.
They Receive Abuse of Democrats and
Support of the People.

According to the Democrats, the Re-
publican Presidents, every one of them,
have been a bad lot. personally and po-
litically. Each and all of them were
declared to be running the country; but
when the day of reckoning came, and the
verdict of the people was handed in on
their ballots, judgment was given-save
in two cases in fortyfonr years-for the
Republicans. Impartial history acq,iits
every Republican President of criminal
intents and acts. In doing his duty to
the people Mr.. Lincoln became mar
tyr. No ruler was ever more yilihed and
denounced. His body in life, his spirit
in death, represent the dividing line be-
tween loyalty and disloyalty. between the
cohesion of the States or their disinte-
grafton. When Democrat, be he leader
or follower, writes or talks of the lte-
publican party as II nation-destroyer
through its measures or its Presidents, it
is because he does not know or does not
care to remember that Buchanan, who,
as Democrat, shaped the course of his
administration so that the advocates of
secession might have a quick and easy
victory; it was this Democratic President
who left to his Republican successor and
the loyal people he had been chosen to
govern, an empty treasury. corporars
guard of an army, a wreck of a navy,
dismantled fortresses, and lesions of of
ficeholders liberated with disloyalty
that the stern lessons of war and years
of Christian peace have not entirely Grad
icatcd. And before Buchanan were Dem
ocratic administrations whose acts were
seemingly studied prelndes to his crime.
The lineage of the Democratic party is a
record OF broken pledges conceived in po-
litical iniquities and strangled at their
birth. 1t is the Democratic party TO
which the people owe four years of civil
war and eight years of such misgovern-
ment that the rich became poor and the
poor starved.
1t has been the province of the Re
publican party to undo the work of its
opponents; it has again and again saved
the nation from degenerating to a low
grade in nationalities. and it has enforced
respect throughout the world for a coun-
try which the Democrats had brought in
to contempt.
or course the Democrats assail Repub-
ican Presidents and their nominees for
the place of Chief Executive; they do
this more by inhuendo than by direct ac-
cusation-a stabbng in the dark rather
than fight in the sunlight. But there
is always this in favor of the Republican
party's Presidents from the time they
begin to make history for the nation
that for their support in the ordeal of
public criticism they have had the Con-
stitution of the Union, its Congresses,
and the voice of the people.

or the excellence of Porto Rican cof-
fee over the cheaper grades from Brazil
and other countries, President Roose-

some OF the help she needs.
1t is now generally known that in the
Philippines there are many varieties of
cabinet woods in profusion, equal in quail
ity and more beautiful in appearance
than those we now buy from South
America. The forests of the islands also
abound in gums of all the kinds we use.
The islands also produce indigo, dye
woods and extracts. and several of the
products named.-(See philippine Gaz-
eteer" and philippines, products Of"

tropical possessions to grow our own

woRklNGMAN's FRIEND.
Fresh Evidence of Roosevelt's Sym.
pathy with Wage Farmers.

1t has been repeatedly stated that
President Roosevelt never misses an op-
pOrtunity to show his sympathy for
wage-earners. Here is fresh evidence
of the truth of this assertion. "Dur-
ing the existing administration" says the
Chicago Tribune, ''the. United States for
the first time has intervened in private
damage suit. Nothing was known of the
order until Senator Knox, late Attorney
General, mentioned it the other day. A
brakeman was injured, after the act re-
quiring the use of safety appliances on
interstate railroads had gone into effect,
while endeavoring to couple cars which
had not been equipped in accordance
with law. He brought suit for damages
in United States court but was unsuc-
cessful. The case was called to the at
tention of the President. and, as he saw
that the decision of the lower court nulli-
fled n great remedial statute. he directed
a petition for a writ of certiorari to be
filed to remove the case to the Supreme
Court. 1t will decide whether law
which was passed to protect the lives OF
hundreds of thousands of railroad work
ers can be violated with impunity."

BOOMERANG FIGURES.
DANGEROUS MATERIAL IN THE
HANDS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
com parIsons Sho wing How that Party
Increased Government Ex pc ndi iturss
More than 81 Per Cent. In . Twelve-
Year Period.

The Democratic campaign writers and
speakers are making use of highly dan
gerous material when they use figures to
show the large increase in government
expenditures under Republican ndminis-
trution. Alton B. Parker said to the
Democratic editors Mt RoseInount:
During Mr.. Clevelsnd's first term the
erage annual expenditure was about $2G9.-
100000. For the Inst three years 1t has
been about S519.OoO,OOo. The governmental
expenditure last year mounted up to $oS2,-
OOO.0OO. which is not eIualed by any year
since the civil war. with the exception OF
the year of the Spanish war.
Why did Mr.. Parker use the figures
merely of Cleveland's first term? Why
did he not make use of the figures for
President Clevelnud's second term! Had
these entered into the comparison it
would have been shown that expenditures
gained with the same proportional rapid
ity in Democratic times as i'll ltepubli-
can tfmes-and in some directions, like
interest on the public debt. they gained
more. The Democratic party, to use
legal term, is ''estopped' from criticism
of Republican increase in expenditures
when the figures comparing Democratic
expenditures, twelve years apart show
that the Democrats. just like the Repub-
LEANS, were forced to follow the rapid
growth Of the country with increased ex-
penditures for the government.
The total expenditures of President
Cleveland's last fiscal year. 1897. were
$3.50, 5,774.159 as against $242, ,4S3, l39 for
those of his first year as President, 1886
"A gain OF over 81 per cent. in the
twelve-year period.
The total expenditures for the four
years of Cleveland's first administration.
1886 to 1890 were S1.O52, ,OG5. .S94. The
total expenditures during Cleveland's
second administration, 1893 to 1897, were
81 AL .674.1S4.
Comparing the first year of Cleveland's .
first term with the last year OF his Sec
ond term, the following were the expendi-
lures:
