HORSEClR RELICS
 OF NEW YORK  Have Roamed Groves of Man haitian Many Years INTERESTING TO STUDY Man In Search of Peace and Rest Can Always Find 1t In the
 Surface of Horse Cars
 of Gotham.
BY HAROLD STEVENS.

From the New York Post
 Some travellers have gone so far as to assert that the antiquities of New York are as scarce as snakes in Iceland. This is a needless exaggeration. There are no snakes in Iceland, but there are at least two first-elass antiquities in New York. One is St. Pau1's Chapel. Broadway, at which George Washington worshiped in the remote deimness of the eighteenth century. The other is the belt line sur face horsecar Before the Indian came, the belt line surface horsecar roamed the untrodden groves of Manhattan It is growing old now, naturally. It may be that the fiery elan of It's youth is some thing grown cold. Preadventure its nim- bleness is not what 1t was.
 Like the okapi, or the giant sloth of Patagonia, the belt line surface horsecar shuns the light of day clinging mostly to the obscure shades beyond the bowery, or the low-lying swamps around the coast. It is as one who has lived beyond HIS time; a creature over whose head the tide of evolution has rolled It Is as a be- Ing left behind-stranded on the shores of time.
 A Reminder of Home.
 To the lonely Londoner there is noth- ing in all New York so affecting as the belt line surface horsecar. The sight of a belt line surface horsecar brings tears to his eyes and a lump to his throat.
 1t reminds him of home.
 In the outer parts of London, that great city, we have what Is known as the surburban bus. The hand of dissolution has long been upon 1t; it is veryinigh unto distruction; yea. higher than the Fifth avenue and Central Park bus. But like that cognate relic of earlier colonial days, it is possessed of a miraculous power of conference. Compared with a London sur burban bus, the Deadwood coach Is as a Pullman saloon to a belt line surface horsecar
 The driver of crack Strand bus once said, alluding to a surburban bus; "They comes nobody knows where from, and they goes nobody knows where to-" Even so 1t is with the belt line surface horsecar.
 The belt line surface horsecar seems to the Londoner in some subtle way to belong to himself more than New York. It seems to have neither part nor lot in

 The appearance of Doc Quigley, con- ceded to be the best grotesque dancer on the stage, as interlocutor of the Al G. Field Greater Minstrels, recalls the story of the time the first American minstrels invaded London and the troubles they had with an English middle-map.
 One of the end men, who. poor fellow. is dead now. had joke the substance of which was. Why is an old maid like green tomato?' The answer of which was, Because 1t Is hard to-mate-her." But the English interlocutor with his British ac- cent would invariably ruin 1t all by an- swering the query of the end man with, Well. I don't know; tell us why is an old maid like green to-mah-to' " The manager of the show finally told the end man his jokes did not seem to make hit so he had better go back to the United States and. Your boat goes Wednesday" The comedian asked for one more chance to try to get the Englishman to pro- nounce his lines right.
 It was Monday night when he put the riddle once more to the Londoner about the similarity of the passe maid and the tomato, but 1t was no use for again the English interlocutor said in return to the question, ''rell us why is an old maid like q to-mah-to?" Then to the amuse- ment of the troupe the deiected end-man answered in disguest. Because the boat leaves Wednesday,"

4 HUMOROUS SAFE BLOWER
BY JOHN MARTHoL.

New York, July 2S.-That democratic success is to reward the party effort in November is not questioned by men who read the signs a long way ahead One sees the confident ones everywhere ready to fall into line behind Parker; and many are scrambling for seats on the band wagon. Esopus, the home of the silent judge, Is two hours over a hot and dusty road from New York nevertheless 1t Is the mecca of many perspiring political pill grims. In those who seek to ride on the band wagon, walk in the Parker pro- cession and journey to the presence of the democracy's standardbearer can be found the evidence that the warriors are not to enlist for the campaign with faint hearts but on the contrary with great confidence.
 On Monday evening last, so-caled con- ference was held at the Hoffman house. It was in fact. sort of democratic town meeting.

 On this day the national chairman will be elected by the committee and the past week has been devoted to the discussion of availability" The names most dis cussed are Senator German, August Bel mont, Thomas Taggart ana James M. Head. The Maryland senator is desired by Vice Presidential Candidate Davis, Thomas F. Ryan, Col. Gufy and a few others who regard him as skillful cam paigner and adroit manager; but German has no desire to assume the burdens of campaign management. His nonors are too well established to require the ex- pendlture of so much labor. He prefers the glory as well as the labor to fall on younger and more ambitious men.

 One of the most attractive features of Wagenhals and Kemper's dramatic spec tacle "Salammbo" in which Frederick Warde and Kathryn Kidder will star next season is said to be the incidental music especially composed by Henry K. Hadley. This music which includes an overture and several choruses, is said to be both impressive and melodious.
 The final scene in "Salammbo'' the new play which Stanislaus Stange has writ ten for Frederick Warde and Kathryn Kidder Is said to equal In intensity and suspense the greatest tragic moments of the Sardou dramas. It pictures. the death of Matho, killed by the tortures of the frenzied mobs of Carthage and that of Salammbo who, compelled to witness the sufferings of her lover. dies of a broken heart.

On an extensive tour. he is now In thu
northwest
A very good reason for the revival
was that few cities outside New York
have seen the play. Mr.. Kyle carries
the original production aud a compe-
tent cast.
Louis N. Parker and Murray Carson
wrote this play with the charming
name In the best spirit Of English high
comedy. The story concerns the love
Of Sir Jasper Thorndyke, 4 bachelor Of
forty, for Dorothy Cruickshank. the
daughter Of an old sea captain who has
eloped with an ensign in the East India
service. Sir Jasper plays the chival-
rous part Of getting the young couple
welded, but Dorothy gives him q sprig
Of rosemary - That's for remem-
brance."
Professor Jogram, lifelong friend Of
Sir Jaspers, shows the latter his duty
toward the young couple, and the cur
tain falls on a disappointed bachelor,
twice deprived Of the girl he loves.
Fifty years elapse between the third
and fourth acts. Sir Jasper. q man Of
ninety, il again In London. The little
room 10 old, the panels are crumblins,
and q musty air pervades the place. The
queens jubilee II in progress, and the
din and noise Outside are not unlike
that of fifty years ago during the coro-
nation. Sir Jasper accidentally breaks
q panel and discovers a bit Of paper
and a sprig Of rosemary. The paper
proves to be the leaf of a diary, on
which he IL barely able to discern the
happenings of fifty years ago. The
sprig Of rosemary recalls the young
girl, now dead; the ride to London, the
elopement and the denouement. Sir
Jasper sells the old London house and
returns to his country home.
As Sir Jasper Thorndyke, Mr.. Kyle
has q role admirably suited to his Ca
pabilities as q versatile actor. He has
played many and numerous parts, such
as the title role in Nathan Hale" and
large repertory Of stock roles, but
nothing 30 subtle or replete with quiet
reserve and epigrammatic comedy has
yet been interpreted by Mr. Kyle.
In Helen Prindeville. young woman
Of eighteen years, Mr.. Kyle has the
youngest leading woman on the Amer
lean stage and an actress OF sterling
qualities. Miss Prindeville played the
role Of Tirxah In "Ben-Hur' for two
seasons. The balance Of the cast in
cludes such well known players as
Frederick Weber. George CASTOR,
Henry Booker. Norman Macdonald,
Alfred Conibear, Louis Ellsner, Edna
Even and Margaret Hardy.
