Theatrical managers are seriously
opposed to the new theater ordinance
which was approved by Mayor McClel-
Ian the other day and is now a law
The object of the ordinance is to pre-
vent the repetition of tibet errible holo-
cause at the Iroquois theater in Chi
cago The provisions of the ordinance
are so radical. however. that they will
make it practically impossible to erect
any more new theaters in the Broad
way district. Under the provisions OF
the ordinance so much space is re-
CURED for alley room. that the erec-
zion Of any building complying with
the law. under the present real estate
prices would be altogether out of the
question Among other things the new
ordinance provides that all balconies

Business Education for Farmers

There are farmers sufficiently intel
ligent to know and appreciate the value
of a business education. which costs so
little. and can be acquired in a reasons
able time; but unfortunately the ma
tority look upon it as useless to a
farmer. but useful only to those who
aspire to be clerks bookkeepers or
merchants. This IL great mistake and
nne which ID the occasion of much
lose to that useful class Of citizens
Farmers are not aware that besides
educating young people for clerking
the business college educates them Tor
the most useful things in common life.
Every farmer has more or less to do
with notes. drafts. checks, bills of ex-
change. contracts. etc. 1t IL only the
who never have checks,
notes, drafts. etc. to handle. The
farmer II large buyer and still a more
extensive seller; that is II ne makes a
success Of farming. 1t Is usually the
farmer that does not sue

as much interested as the merchants
in knowing the proper vouchers to be
given or taken in his business tran
sactions Many an honest farmer has
last large sums of money and others
their farms by signing what they con-
sidered an innocent scrap of paper.
Had they possessed a good business
education, such losses would generally
be averted. The farmers son needs a
business education more than "A mer-
{ liant, because the latter can get it,
though slowly and imperfectly in his
fathers store; whereas. ii the farmers
son does not obtain it in a business
college, he must do without it.
We are all obliged to pay either for
knowledge or ignorance, the latter
places us in the school of experience,
where the tuition rates are higher,
much higher, than at the best business
college that our land affords. To IL

$3.50 to apply on the purchase Of same
needed farm machinery. On maturity
of the note, an agent appeared for its
collection and failed to have the note
with him, but proposed to give a receipt
in case the full amount was paid. The
farmer complied; consequently the note
appeared against him. The aggregate
amount paid by the farmer was over
$500 to settle the $3.50 note. Again. a
farmer took a note for $1,000 which was
as he supposed. properly endorsed by
two responsible men. The maker failed
and upon inquiry he was informed
that the Endorsements were so made

tcrest. $1,000.

 The Speaker announced that the motion of Mir. Payne took precedence even over the motion to take recess.
 Mir. William then appealed to MT. Payne to withdraw his motion that the House might adjourn over in memory of George Washington.
 Mir. Payne replied that he thought It would be more patriotic for the House to be in session on Monday and cele- brate the birthday of George Washing ton by building up a navy than to spenu the day about Washington.
 Mir Williams suggested that the gal leries were empty and again appealed to MT. Payne. but the latter adhered to his views.

 Matters.
 A special from Palm Beach, Fla, says: "ConsiderabIe significance is attached to the recent visit of President Samuel Spencer and nineteen other Southern rail- way officials, who came down to Palm Beach from Savannah and Jacksonville, where they were banquetted by the Busi- ness Mems Associations. For nearly two years there have been rumors that the Southern Railroad desired to control the Florida East Coast hotels, and about year ago the latter offered to sell to the former, and named their selling price, which included transfer of the mag nlficent chain of hotels in Nassau and along the east coast of Florida. The Southern replied that 1t did not care to go into the hotel business, and turned down the offer. though they insisted at the time that they would purchase the road without the hotels. Since the visit of President Spencer and Is officials, there has been a persistent rumor to the effect that a deal is about to be con- summated whereby the Southern will take both the railroad and It's hotel adjuncts. Neither a confirmation nor denial of the rumor can be obtained from any East Coast official in this section; but considerable credence is given to the rumors. While the officials were in Palm Beach they were the guests of Henry Flagler for the whole length of their stay.
