An exchange says that it seems
strange that nature made so many
mistakes. 1t placed horns on the
head of cattle, but man saw a
chance for improvement and de-
creed the horns were useless and
must go. 1t placed tails on horses,
but man said the Creator was
again mistaken and the tails came
off. 1t placed whiskers on the face
of man, but populism faded from
the face of the earth and man
babe adiew to the unnecessary ap-
pendage. 1t placed seeds in
oranges, but little children swal-
lowed the seeds and miniature
orange trees grew in their
stomachs, SO man said the seed
must forever depart from the
luscious fruit. 1t coated chickens
with feathers, but now man de-
clares this coating is not fitting
and the feathers must go the way
the cows horns. the horses tail,
the mans beard, the oranges
seed. And now the agricultural
department is looking for a pig
without hair.

THE MODERN STAGE A
PRuDE BESIDE THE OLD
Written by Clara Morris.

The decline of the stage is the
burden of much theatrical criti-
cism. Is the reproach deserved?
Hamlet's scornful criticism of the
players implies that Shakespeare
himself had been often veXed by
its failings. 1t was addressed not
to troup Of obscure strollers, but
to the "tra gedians of the city" act
ors in whom the prince was wont
to take delight" and who had been
temporarily driven afeld by IAN
aiery of children" then berattling
the common stages; plainly an illu-
sion to some singing boys from the
churches.
Not long after the Restoration,
the two licensed companies of act
ors petitioned the king for relief
against a puppet show, which drew
off the public. The big four of the
stage at that time-the four BIS,
BettertOn. Booth, Barry and Brace
girdle, after their secession from
Drury Lane, were obliged to i'm
port French dancers at a very high
price, to compete with the French
mimics and tumblers of the other
house. Manager Rich wished to in
troduce an elephant into old Drury,
but RETAINED because the building
was not strong enough.
In 1916 the pantomime at Covent
Garden had a performing dog and
monkey in it, calling out from Haz-
lit the observation that the de-
generacy of he modern stage
threatens to be shortly redeemed
by accomplished recruits from the
four footed creation"
Think Of it, ye who deplore the
inferiority of the present with the

1.-THE YANKEE CONSUL"

Miss Vera Michelena, the beauti-
full and talented prima donna of
The Yankee Consul" company,
whose phenomenal success in com
ic opera roles have caused her
within the past few years to be rec
ognized as one of the most famous
singers in the profession, is a Cali
fornian girl, barely out of her
teens, and conceded by all to be
the possessor of a glorious singing
voice.
Miss Michelena was born in San
Francisco, and her childhood days
were spent in the quaint old Sa-
cred Heart convent in that city.
One Sunday she consented to sing
a solo at the mass services. John
p. Slocum, manager of Princess
Chic" company, was present, and,
realizing the possibilities of the
young singers voice, sought her
out, and offered her the prima dom
ma role in the company. She ac-
cepted and then began career
destined to make her famous. She
also added to her 1aurels in the
stellar roles in "The School Girl"
"The Jewel of Asia" and other
operas.
"The Yankee Consul" is at the

HUGE PLOT IN THE
UNITED STATES SENATE

vide the alleged friends of the legis.
latiOn between the administration
plan and the democratic plan, and
both will fail, as intended. That
is the plot in all Its simplicity.
Meantime, the senate Is taking
steps to impress the president with
its power. Senators are busy
knocking over Postmaster General
Cortelyou's new plan to have good
postmasters retained in office.
In Chicago the first test case was
made, and Senator Hopkins, who is
dominated by the railroads and the
steel trust, Joined with Collum in
having Coyne thrown out to make
way for a political henchman. In
practically every northern state
the senate is doing the same thing.
The Panama canal has also been
seized upon as a preteXt and the
railroad senators are finding ways
to worry the president in this mat
ter.
The effort on the president to ap-
point a democrat on the interstate
commerce commission to succeed
Jos. Fifer has been frustrated. The
railways pus down their foot and
said that Lane would not do, that
the appointment never will be con-
firmed.

tie hope that any rate bill will be-
come a law.
The republicans in the senate
are seriously divided and a large
majority of them, under the domin-
alton of the railways, are secretly
opposed to this legislation.
Even men like Dolliver and Hep
burn, officially champions of the
presidents cause, are not forgetful
of many favors received in the past
years at the hands of the railways.
There is not a particle of doubt
that the railway dominated Dem
ocrats of the senate are acting in
secret collision with the railway
dominated republicans, moth max
ing common cause against the pres
ident and his rate legislation. In
matters of graft and public plum
der these honorable gentlemen
rise above partisan politics"
The presidents hope of securing
rate legislation at the hands of the
senate was based largely on the
fact that practically every demo
cratic senator had come out in a
formal interview as favoring the
presidents policy. Now it is the
plan of Mr.. German to get up an
ultra radical bill which the presi-
dent cannot approve. This will di-
