hurrah comedy, but clean, neat fun, for
chilly presented, causing laughter that one
may think about after it is all over. The
enjoyment one gets out Of the Cohans'
show is lasting; it is not all on the sur
face. In ones dull moments one may re-
call pleasantly some Of the incidents In
Running for Offive." The success Of the
piece and the people in New York last
spring was Overwhelming. No. musical
comedy has, in many year, caused so
much talk in the metropolis: The large
company Of last season has been in
creased and seventy-two singing cemed-
ians will appear. s
The musical numbers are exceedingly
bright and several "lnits" have been
registered, including Sweet Popularity"
IF Were Only Mister Morgan" Il
Want to Go to Paree, Papa" and ''rH Be
There at the Public Square" The cos
tuning is very tasty and rich in many
respects. The gowns of Misses Helen Co
han and Belle Rivers are very striking
while Josephine Cohan's dainty dresses
especially her butterfly dress, are wei
worth seeing. A unique electrical torch
parade serves as a stunning" finish tt
the show. All the characters are in the
best of hands. - 80 r:

Next week is Mansfield week. The great
actor comes to the Metropolitan for the
latter half Of the week, to present his two
great new successes and one Of the most
popular revivals of his repertory. We are
to see Mansfield on his way east from San
Francisco, where he has just achieved a
great artistic and popular triumph. The
prices were advanced, yet every seat ex-
cept the unreserved seats in the gallery,
was sold for Mansfeld's fourteen appear
ances before the curtain went up on the
first night. These were. sold when the
doors opened at night, and the crowds
which stood in line all day long were often
three and four times larger than the seat
ing capacity. The fire and police author
tiles had all they could do to dispense the
disappointed ones quietly after the ca
pacity had been sold.
On Thursday night Richard Mansfield
will be seen as the Car Ivan in his latest
triumph, Alexis Tolstoy's great Russian
tragedy, Ivan the Terrible" Mansfield S
creation of the car Is held to; be the
greatest impersonation this artist has ever
given. It Is a Kaleidoscope reflection Of
the most singular despot in history. The
play Is historical tragedy Of medieval
Russia, and Is the work Of Count Alexis
Tostoy, relative of Count Lyof Tolstoy.
For a long time, indeed until%the accession
of the present liberal minded Nicholas no
representation Of the person of the EN-
peror Of Russia was permitted on the
stage. Nicholas relaxed the censorship In
many directions, and in this one in order
that Ivan the Terrible" might be seer
by his people. Private representations hat
repeatedly been given at the royal palaces
by amateur casts made up Of immediate
members Of the royal family previous tt
1901, but in that year the company o.

was permitted to present Ivan the Ter

Spring is the "cleaning-up" season.

grade are generally anxious to have
it filled. Filling costs money, but a
place to fill is an accommodation to
us, so we will do it free on potifca-
ton. We promise, too, to use only
ashes, which makes the best filing,
and not to overdo the matter.
Where it is needed for city prop
erty, we also fill. For example, there
is that new park being made at the
foot of Lowry hill. That piece of
ground was low and nlarshy before
the city started to fill it. 1t Is now
pretty we'll covered with ashes. True,
the place is not being made very
slightly by the work, but the filing is
first necessary before the park board
can make it attractive.

Clean"
Property Owner Responsible.
DR.. Hall laments that renters of
property instead Of owners cannot be
punished for not maintaining the
property they lease in a cleanly way.
1.-The courts have ruled" continues
DR.. Hall, that the owner of property
and not the man who occupies 1t must
suffer the penalty for piling up
manure and garbage in back yards.
Often we are obliged to notify firms
which control property to clean up
refuse left by renters who have left
at the explorations of their leases.
1.-THE owners Of the property have
had nothing to do with causing the
trouble, yet they are responsible and
have to stand the penalty. Why, l
even had a man in here at my office a
few days ago who complained against
his landlord because the landlord had
not cleaned up the tenant's back yard.
It took me but o. short time to tell
the man that if owned the property
there'd soon be a new tenant.
'The law should be that the party
who makes the rubbish should be the
| one forced to clean it up. The man
who owns his own home Is the one
most apt to keep 1t clean and well

boring vacant lot. In the down town
district nearly all the vacant lots have
been made public dumping grounds.
But, also, nearly all the down town
vacant lots are surrounded by bill
boards. The bill boards are unsightly,
but the rubbish-covered lots they hide
are lot more so.
Occasionally for some reason the
bill boards around such lot are re-
moved, and then we get notices on
the owners clean that lot?' We can't
force them to unless there is some i'll
odor, or some garbage which has
been dumped there. We always search
carefully over such lots to find some
thing on which to fasten a charge that
will hold, but we seldom succeed. It
Is civic pride that must abate this null

There is an example of such va

In nearby town, says an eX- change, there was once 8 young lawyer. He was frugal, studioas and d plodder. He used to live near town and walked in every morning, carrying his dinner. He made little money, married and started family. His wife died and in a year he married a woman with S40, ,00O. He quit work and began spending. He has gone through with all of that money and has been concerned with some big speculations, all of which turn ed out badly. He is now a petty official in his town. Money spoil ed him. Another man in the same town was elected to a county off ce. He said there was only two things for a county official to do. One was to save hls money and be called miser, the other was to spend 1t and be called a fool. He saved. He purchased some prop erty that turned out we'll and when he left office had Sl0,O00. He quit work then because he was afraid to venture into anything. He has been loafer scr 9 years. a $10,000 loafer, but loafer just the same.
