W4M New York. 1t IS the same the world over. LOCALITY
= HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT. The English
have a sense of humor, of course, but til very different from
ours. They appreciate impossible situations, when they are portrayed,
very keenly. A favoritc bit of comedy with them is the part of the
play when the servant masquerades as the mistress. 1t seems so
utterly absurd and impossible to them to have the servant putting on
the airs of the master II mistress that they laugh very heartily. You
see, 1T DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE POINT OF VIEW.
American humor does not appeal to the English people because
they can't appreciate it right away and don't care enough about it to
investigate it. If an English show is presented on this side we all 60
and make a fuss over it and over the actors. If there is a situation
which we do not see at first we sit down and FIGURE 1T OUT
UNTIL WE GET IT. Over there they don't see it, and they don't
care whether they do or not.
That is one thing that [ resent very much-the American adula-
ton for everything British and the way the British treat the Ameri-
cans. They always talk down at one from an angle of forty-fve
degrees. When an English actor comes over here nothing is too good
for him. He gets American Beauty roses by the bunch and is invited
everywhere and entertained in the most hosphablea manner.
WHEN AN AMERICAN ACTOR GOES OVER THERE HE Is RE-
CEIVED AT THE STATION BY HAVING THREE HUNDRED POUNDS
OF ICE PUT IN HIS LAP, AND THAT is ALL HE GETS WHILE HE
is OVER THERE.
No kind Of American plays really go well'in London. Take

A 1T OVER"

Boss Strong, in a frantic effort to
save himself, Is making preparations
{ o throw overheard jackson and ac-
cept someone for the senatorial nom
nation whose record is Il little more
favorable to the people.
A few weeks ago Strong caused to
be published i'm his personal organ,
the suggestion that both jackson and
Fordyce withdraw and a compromise
candidate, whom he could control, be
nominated. The NEWS ut hat time,
pointed it out as Il sign of weakening
on the part of the machine, the sug-
gestiOn being put out merely as a
feeler to see how the people would re-
ceive it.
THE BOSS FOUND THE FOR
DYCE MOVEMENT AS FIRM AS A
ROCK.
Now comes the report that the me-
chine may offer j. III. 7. Martin for
the senatorial nomination. There il
no doubt but that Boss Strong is in
earnest now i'm his efforts to find Il
mar to substitute for jackson.
The fact that there are as many
delegates filed who are pledged to
Fordyce as there are who will serve
the machine has thoroughly alarmed
the ring.
1t is becoming more and more evil
dent every day that jackson will not
be the next republican nominee.
THE RING is READY TO DE-
sERT ANYBODY, ANYTHING, IN
ORDER TO SAVE ITS OWN EXIST
ENCE.
But it is too late now. Col. For
: dyce has canvassed the county The
people have heard him. THEY
KNOW WHAT HE STANDS FOR
AND WHAT HE WILL ENDEAVOR
TO DO If ELECTED, FOR HE HAS
TOLD THEM HIMSELF. He has ap-
pealed direct TO the people and has
pledged himself to them.
This is too serious ii matter to
daily with. If the corporation con-
troll ut Trenton is to be broken IN,
the people must thoroughly under
stand the men whom they send to
make the laws.
THERE CAN BE NO COMPRO-
MISE. 1T is FORDYCE FIRST,
LAST AND ALL THE TIME, UNTIL
THE NOMINATION is MADE.

its power to defeat Mr.. Fordyce and
now that the BOSS sees defeat staring
him in the face he wants Fordyce
to SHARE THE VICTORY WITH
HIM.

municipal operation is the LAST DESPERATE MEANS, which

BerEns oft quoted ideal municipal conditions are lacking even in

CUE FOR FRISCO
DINNER PATRONIZED BY
 HUNDREDS.
Proceeds of Entertainment at Pickett Springs Will Go to the Suffer- CTS by Pacific Coast
 Earfhaual<e.

Several hundred persons yesterday enjoyed a splendid barbecue given at Pickett Springs for the benefit of the San Francisco sufferers. The barbecue was palatably prepared and finely served. It was pronounced one of the best ever given in Mont gomery. The menu consisted of camp stew. barbecued mutton and pork. and numerous varieties of salads. A bottle of beer was served to each person and coffee was served at the conclusion of the meal
 It had been announced that tho bar becue would begin at 12 o'clock yester- day and last until o'clock yesterday afternoon. Promptly at the noon hour everything was in readiness and the people began arriving at the Springs on cars.
 The largest crowd was served about o'clock, at which hour Mayor W. M. Teague attended and ate heartily of the barbecue, the best indication of his fa- vorabie criticism of the dinner. Among the crowd were large numbers of the most prominent people of Montgomery. and also many ladies. It was nearly dark before the last person had been served.
 The barbecue was given solely for the benefit of the stricken citizens of San Francisco and the entire proceeds, less the expense, will go to the suf- ferers.
 Late yeserday afternoon w. W. Seidle roughly estimated that about 300 persons were served, although accom- modations had been made for 1000 It was expected that the crowd would be much larger but 1t should be re- inemhered that the number of persons who attended the barbecue does not represent the number of tickets sold. A great many who purchased tickets failed to attend.
 The barbecue was served under the direction of w. W. Seidle, s. B. John son and J. E. Worswick. MT. Seidle was awake all of Friday night in prep aration for the affair.
 In a day or two MT. Seidle expects to receive returns from the tickets sold and he will then turn over the pro- ceeds to Mayor Teague for remittance to San Francisco.
