The; .Lyceum has one Of it's best bills
this week. The sketch presented by Mr.
and Mrs. Robyns, straight Tip Jim,'' is
a bright little play, and in the hands of
these capable artists arouses much en-
thusiasm. The surprise sketch of Bart
lett and Collins introduces a new come
dian in the person of Bartlett, whose
eccentric tumble of nonsense makes an
immense hit. He is a large man, Timber
as a ribbon, up to a dozen new aero
batic fip-fops and has some Irish, Ital-
ian and Ethiopian limitations which place
him in high favor. Huntress, female i'm
personator and elegant dresser, won APP
plause in his famous skirt dance. This
act shows Huntress in many of the dances
which made Loie Fuller renowned. Mar
velous coloring, brilliant light effects,
ETC., are achieved, the turn being exc
cuted on a revolving globe.
Rawls and Van Kaufman have a sketch
quite out Of the ordinary and in which
Rawls presents one of the best "cullud
men" ever seen. Charles s. Laird, who
is singing in Illustrated songs this week,
last evening sang 'Sail-Ho' and t'Massa' S
in de Cold, Cold Ground in response to
repeated encores. The motion pictures
showing the great Vanderbilt auto races
are wonderful, the lightning speed Of the
immense racers being shown.

Jerome's Case.

In New York every rogue's hand is
against Jerome and in Philadelphia
every scoundrel resents Governor Folk s
speech there as an "impertinence' and
an s'insult.'' An impertinence in what
way, an insult to whomg Why an i'm
pertinence for citizen Of Missouri to
take an interest in the affairs Of the
people Of Philadelphia? Why an insult
for a citizen of one state to make sug-
pestions to the citizens Of another out
of his own experienced
The insult cry is the last refuge OF
the boodler. He is insulted when any
one inquiries, "Where did you get 1tg''
and he is grieved when honest men
from other states come in and say,
s'This is not the way we do things at
home.'
Mr.. Jerome is asking Murphy
sssWhere did you get it?' and the chief
of Tammany Hall is insulted. No doubt
he feels that the action of the people
of the city in putting up campaign
fund for Mr.. Jerome is corrupting the
electorate. There are scarcely any
limits to the humor Of fellows like Muir
ply. They even pretend to be deeply
moved lest the city lose it's fair name
thru some excited preachers giving
away the fact that gambling is ram
pant.
Will the people Of New York bt

Taft and Root.

The lull in national news caused by
the departure Of the president from
Washington puts some of the CORE
spondents to it for material. The sue
cession of the presidency is always an
alluring topic. 1t takes bold man to
handle it. however, because the people
will not read pure twaddle on the sub
iect. Walter Wellman believes he is
a big enough prophet to tackle this
branch of futures. He has done SO, and
he comes from behind the veil with a
distinct prophecy that Taft will be the
republican nominee for president.
Why Wellman should have picked
Taft to the exclusion of Root it is hard
to see. Perhaps it is because 1t is
known that Root comes from too near
the big corporations as starting point
Of a campaign. Taft has done some
things which entitle him to special con-
sideration. He is the man VINO has
shown most grasp of the Philippines
problem. He has accomplished some
thing toward putting that in the way
of solution. He has taken hold Of the
canal project, but his success is that
department is not yet such as to demand
even vote of thanks.
The secretary of war is an independ-
ent gentleman, one Of the kind who
appeal to the American people today.
His promptness in replying to Stuyve-
SAINT Fish on the railroad question
stamped him as man who knows his
| own mind and does not hesitate mo-
ment to express himself thru policy.
His Yale address on the enforcement of
law touched popular chord. The
American people are pretty tired of the
claws delays,' and if they were con-
WINGED that Mr.. Taft would be as ear

inal laws, they would flock to his ban.
ner in considerable numbers on this
issue alone.
Neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr.. Root may
be named for president. But their
presence in the government is an evil
dence of the fact that the big men are
not all dead. They are splendid exam
pies Of the American public man, either
one of whom would grace campaign.
And yet if neither one was nominated,
the country would not despair, because
there are others.

they keep their audience in an uproar

American journalism.

Z The American newspaper had con-
siderable sport with Mr.. Sato when he
came here as the mouthpiece Of the
Japanese peace contingent, but now
that peace has been made Mr.. Sato is
gradually coming to, and he is Incl
dentally remembering that he owes the
American reporter something. He is APP
preciating him and has recently per-
mitted himself the privilege Of writing
a loving-cup speech all around the
American interviewer.
Mr.. Sato says he is superb, he Is
magnificent, he is all commanding. The
American journalist meets the arriving
stranger with a condescending hospi-
tally and proprietary patronage that
is impressive. This was the case with
the peace ENJOYS Of Russia and Japan.
They were taken into camp unani-
mously and without distinction Of
country or condition by tho American
correspondent. s-.
cit gradually dawned upon us, - says
Mr.. Sato, "that instead Of being a
company of serious-minded persons en-
gagged upon a mission Of the highest
diplomatic Importance we were a COM
pany of light comedians who had come
from abroad for the amusement Of the
American populace; that we were in a
country Of eighty million sovereigns
and no king; and that the first duty
of American journalism was to make
their millions Of maiesties laugh"
This, Mr.. Sato admits, the newspapers
did so well as to make the ENJOYS
laugh too, whereupon the reporters and
cartoonists redoubled their efforts to
please. ~.
Journalism in Japan has no such
field as it has in America. It is handi.
capped by the language. The American
reporter makes his own language and
he does not stop to explain it. When
he writes that Murphy died on first,
his readers are not deceived into be,
ieving that some person has lost a
dear friend. They know it refers to
the sudden extinction of the hopes OF
a baserunner in the national game

"After sailing to the south the Shen-

took her, sent an officer aboard her
and learned that four months before
Lee had surrendered and that Jefferson
Davis was a prisoner, and that the au-
thority Of the United States was para

" Surrendered to British.
"On Nov. Is, 1865, the Shenandoah
dropped anchor in Liverpool harbor.
Close to her was the British warship
Donegal, Captain Paynter commanding.
Captain Waddell boarded the Donegal
and said he wished to surrender his
ship to the British government. There
was some delay following a report to
the British government and then those
of the crew who were not British-born
were turned over to the American con-
sui.
"The Bulloch brothers remained in
England for some time and then re-
turned to Georgia, where Commander
Bulloch wrote a history of the secret
service of the confederacy in Europe.
They have both been dead for several
years.
Mrs. Roosevelt Devoted to South.
"Mrs. Roosevelt was devoted to the
cause Of the South. She was in Phila-
delphia on one occasion during the war
and while those around her were flying
the federal flag she flung little silk
banner to the breeze. From this little
incident it is easy to infer where her
son got that full measure Of courage
and independence which makes him IA

The people of the south very justly
look upon President Roosevelt as one
of their own sons, They say that the
influence of the Roswell colony of the
old Midway distict helped to make the
president what he is. They say that
he was fborn of it's spirit at least,
which is vastly more than being born
of its flesh. -

1.-THE kidnapping of Ripley Brewer is
the title Of little skit now undergoing
careful rehearsal. The plot is the work
of some friends Of the gentleman from
st. Cloud, and some others whose inter-
est in him, is not personal, but political.
They have already begun to assign the
parts and give out the lines for rehearsal
Mr.. Brewer has decided to run for con-
gress-is now running, in fact. The
plotters intend that he shall run for gov
ernor. The state convention will meet
probably in June, about three months
ahead of the congressional primaries.
The intention is to work up such a strong
Brewer sentiment thru the state that by
the time the convention meets he will
be carried off his feet. No man can re-
fuse nomination for governor and then
run for another office, at least, no one
has done so. So the plotters are schem-
ing to nominate Brewer and make him
take it. He does not want it, but under
the circumstances he would probably be
like Byron's Donna Julia, who swearing
she would ne'er consent, consented. =
One reason for this concocted plot, and
a sufficient one for ordinary needs, Is
that Brewer is considered first-class gov
