VAUDEVILLE.

} .t
 If the current bill at the Jacques fails to pack the theater to the doors at every performance it will be be- cause it is being presented during the dullest week of the theatrical year, and not on account of any shortcomings in the material offered. The headline feature is the Military Octet and the Girl with the Baton. The Octet furnishes as pretty and at tractive an act as any musical offer ing ever seen here. Because there is no orchestra at the Phoenix ave- nue amusement dispensary the Girl with the Baton is in the penumbra of the spot light, but it is easy to see that with a few more musicians than Pianist Madden, who is some" him. self, she would be an important addi- |tio nto the turn. The novelty is in three scenes, handsomely mounted, and sumptuously fitted out with plenty of theatrical fnery. The sec |ond one, camp of Royal Bengal Fusileers, is made to look like the Delhi Dunbar by an elephant (not real one) which flaps his ears in time with the very excellent music played by the eight instrumentalists Throughout the action of the num- Der there are introduced vocal and brass selections that are we'll worth hearing. As drawing card it should fill the requirement. and will please all classes of variety lovers. The supporting acts are away above par. James H. Lee, the most mar velous wire performer ever present ed here, and his feats will set every youngster with clothes line in his
 back yard wild with the spirit of emulation. Bettina Bunee and con- pany have sketch, Adams Ashes" which is funny when worked into,
 but the opening drags perceptibly | It has the merit of being we'll played,
 however. Dean Edsall and Arthur
 Forbes have another sketch, Dads
 Boy," which is bright and is worth
 listening to. Miss Edsall makes a
 fine figure in the satin small clothes l of a youth of the year 1900, and the
 skit closes with rattling good fenc. ing bout Smirl and Kessner re-
 peated old triumphs last night, and
 Gus Leonard has a style of comedy
 that is so new that it will be funny
 when the patrons of the house get
 used to it. Milt Wood is the same
 peerless dancer as ever and has no
 difficulty in making an indubitable
 hit.

 WASHINGTON, April 10.-The fol lowing statement was given out at the Japanese legation: lowing to the fact that the withdrawal of the troops from Manchuria not having sufficiently progressed. the Japanese government hitherto has neither permitted citizens and vessels of foreign countries to en- ter the ports and regions of Manchuria nor allowed foreign consuls to proceed to their posts therein. The Japanese government has now decided, in ac- cordance with the principles of open door and equal opportunity ever ad- vocated by them, to permit citizens and vessels of foreign countries to enter from May Antunghsien and Tatung- kao and allow foreign consuls to pro- ceed to their posts at Antunghsien."

SAM BERNARD.

"The Rollicking Girl" which will be seen at Polls Thursday evening of this week, started it's career in. New York months ago. A six months run in the metropolis, and a most successful tour of the south and middle west-that is the story of its travels up to the time when the company of eighty reaches Water bury. Charles Frohman calls it a musical play for lack of any bet. ter designation and the critics may classify it as they wish. So far in its career 1t has met only with the most unqualified approval as gloom mdestroyer. It has a story; it affords opportunity for innumerable songs, a continuous succession of laughable situations, and rich scenery and costumes What is even more to the point, 1t affords the best opportunities to Sam Bernard and his host of associate fun-makers. Prices are 25, 50, S1, $1.50 and $2. No free list. Curtain at sharp. Sale of seats Wednesday. Telephone lie. Orders not held after midday Thurs day.

Rules for Christmas shoppers.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Str: \ movement
Is on foot to relieve as far as possible the over
worked clerks and shop girls Of the big department
stores during the holiday rush. This movement
has been started by the Consumers League OF New
Jersey to relieve the shopping conditions rs far
as possiblein the Newark stores.
Some stores are open from $50 A. NJ. TO II p. NJ.
for nearly two weeks preceding Christmas. These
long hours are not made necessary by the greed
OF the shopkeepers. but by the habit into which
the purchasing public has fallen OF Crowding holi-
day shopping into the last few days.
This result Is Overwork and actual suffering on
the part OF statesmen, s~alesgirls, package girls. de
livery boys and messengers TO a degree which can
hardly be appreciated. To relieve these conditions
as far as possible the adoption Of the following
rules Is advised:
I. shop early, not later than December Is.
.. Shop early In the day.
3. Request that no package be sent after p. NJ.
4. Telephone your orders II possible.
This last suggestion Is perhaps better than any
Of the three others. as II one telephones he Is not only
saving his own time. but the time OF the clerks In
the store, and avoids adding TO the crush In the
stores.
II these suggestions are pertinent TO conditions
in Newark, how much more applicable are they to
conditions existing In our New YORK stores,

won possessions on the Asiatic conti-
nent. They would have no such result
to dread from a contest with Germany
or with France, and they do not expect
a Russian feet u face them again in the
Pacific.
From another point Of view far sighted
advisers of the Mikado must desire to
see him make a friend of the United
States. Some time during the twentieth
century-expert opinions differ only az
to the particular decade-New York may
be expected to become the great money
lender of the world. Upon her associated
bankers will have devOlved the de-
cisive power behind the throne which
during a part Of the nineteenth century
was believed to be exercised by the
R%oTHsCHILps. II is not more certain,
however, that our country is destined
to become the worlds chief money
lender than it is that Japan, in the pros
ecution of her designs in Eastern Asia,
will become one of the worlds chief
borrowers. For the moment, indeed,
the Japanese may feel that all the finan-
cial help they need is %prOcurable in Great
Britain. A loan could be fioated, how
ever, more easily in London if New York
would take a part of it, and it is i'm
probable that Japan could borrow a
shilling in Great Britain if it were known
hat the money was to be expended on
a fight with the United States.
With the exception Of the branches
of the English speaking ace there are
no two countries upon earth so strongly
drawn toward friendship by ties Of self
interest as are Japan and the United
States. Competitors they may be for the
trade of Manchuria, but only in the ami
cable sense that Britons and Americans
are rivals for the trade OF Canada.

Protest Against the ways or an Exalted

imagine a vain thing when they Couct.,a

predecessors because of his selt-elaoins

Much more might be added in common
justice as a tribute to the mental efforts ~

suffice. As to his bodily efforts, one should
reflect upon the dangers OF travel 10y land,

MIR. StOrcr's Letter to President
Roosevelt.

We print to-day, and we do so with
no little reluctance, a letter which Mr..
BELLAMY SToREP, lately American Am
bassador to Vienna, has addressed to
President ROOSEVELT, and also, IL We
are rightly informed. to the several
members of the Cabinet. Mr.. STORER
was abruptly and peremptorily removed
from his post last winter, no categorical
or other explanation of the act being
v~ouchsafed; and he and his wife, Mrs.
MARIA LoNGwoRTH SToRER, have ever
since suffered severely at the hands Of
gossip, rumor and deliberate misrepre-
s~entation. The matter of this letter OF
Mr.. SToRER's has obtained some pub
licity during the last day or two, appear
ing in a more or less garbled and frag-
mentary form in various newspapers all
over the country, having reached the
press from some source to us unknown,
but not, as we are informed, from Mr..
SToRER or by any agency of his.
We think it proper then that it should
be published in full, and give it, as
we say, with unwillingness, because we
sincerely deprecate a publication which
reflects so seriously upon the President
OF the United States. We prefer, for the
present at least, TO leave the whole sub
iect to the judgment Of our readers, be-
Iieving that it is one respecting which
they are abundantly able to conceive and
express an adequate and just opinion.

not all hotel men are mean OF spirit and small
