Such was the declaration authorized

vania railroad 1t followed examina-
ton Of reports which Rave been made
on the cost and performance of the
new Pennsylvania coach, No 1851, the

: frame and box but steel and non-con,-
bustible material in every particular.
This will involve a very large expendi-
ture of money, but the management
feel that no expense should be spared
to remove the danger from fire and col,
lision in future railroading.
The decision now definitely reached
will call for about 1000 unburnable
railroad company cars to be ready
when the New York tunnel is com.
pleted. 1t will also call for some 500
Pullman cars which must also be of
completely non-combustible construc

MIA railroad, the pullman company is
now building the first all-steel sleeper
ever constructed. 1t will be inspected
by the Pennsylvania officials at very
early date.

the republicans, for the reason that the
democratic managers have greater
number of districts to fight for. The
republicans could lose more than fifty
districts and still retain control OF the
house Thus, Chairman Sherman can
afford to devote all o. his energies and
resources of his organization to only a
few of the close districts, whereas
Chairman Griggs must divide his activ-
tiles among fifty-eight districts, while
at the same time keeping close watch
on districts now held by his party but

Individual Contributions.

AS for obvious reasons the large spe-
cial interests will not be heavy con-
tributors to tie campaign fund of eth
err party this year, reliance for the SIN
ews of war must be placed more large
ly upon individuals by both parties
than ever before. 1t is known that
generally speaking, the wealthy men
in both parties who occupy seats in
either ranch Of congress are giving
more than they ever did before. At
the some time, however, this will not
compensate for the loss of revenue that
used to come in bulk from the large
special interests, and, as a result, the
chances are that less money will be
used in the pending campaign than has
been employed for many years. This
is causing the congressional franking
privilege to be more heavily drawn up.
on than ever before. The great bulk Of
literature which will be scattered over
the country in this campaign will go
| through the mails free. In times past
a great deal of this has been sent by
express and paid for. However, as SO
many members of congress are giving
express franks, it is needless to say
the United States mail, will be called
upon to bear their portion of the ex-
pense of contributing literature for the
enlightenment of the voter
The great bulk of the money used
in congressional campaigns is not dis.
bursed until the day Of election. 1t is
held back for the last pressing emer-
gencies. And how many people know
what the chief emergency then is? It
is for carriages, buggies, wagons, auto
mobiles, and every other Imaginable
means Of conveyance with which to get
the reluctant and hesitant voter to the
polls in time to drop his ballot. Dur
ing the twelve years Representative
Joseph w. Babcock, of Wisconsin, was
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee, he spent more mon

he never lost campaign It is fact

HOWARD KYLE
In "The Greater Love" at Madison
 Square Garden

In "The Greater Love" at Madison
 Square Garden.
 Howard Kyle, by his interpretation of the composer Mozart in ''The Greater Love" at the Madison Square theater, New York, has won golden econiums from music lovers for his faithful char acterization. Walter N, Lawrence, who produced the play, has been liberal in the expenditure of money. He has cos- tuned 1t beautifully and has presented four acts of scenery that are not, only picturesque but have atmosphere. The production, altogether, is as beautiful in every way as was the late Henry Irvings production of "The Vicar of Wakefield" which in it's scenic envest- ment was never surpassed, "The Greater Love" has charm. It is a virile play with dramatic situations, while presenting many poetic incidents in the life of Mozart. The sweetness of his character is always dominant. To students of music 'The Greater Love" has an especial interest and to theater-goers in general it supplies all that is entertaining in clean and whole some drama. The most fashionable schools of New York are sending their pupils to see the play, which is an in dorsement few productions can boast.

New Haven Theater.

Broadhurst & Currie will present on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week. and at the holiday matinee on Friday and regular matinee Satur- day, at the New Haven Theatre, new four-act play of American frontier life entitled Texas" by J. Maudlin Foigl whose thorough knowledge of the plains is a birthright. Texas" is a charming play of western life, and is unusually picturesque. in fact it is as romantic as any costume play ever presented, and deals dwith variety of subjects almost entirely new to the stage. It tells of the love and trials of the people of the plains in a captiva- ting and realistic manner, and immedi- ately wins the hearts of every auditor. The play is at times exciting, as vest ern life is apt to be with it's cowboys, Mexicans and gun men," but it also has it's moments of love and sentiment, it's touches of patllos and noble self sacrifice, as well as its moments of happiness, when all Is laughter, joy and sunshine.

DE FOREST STATION FIRE.

Pole Used in Transmitting Wireless
 Messages Burns Like a Torch.
 In some unaccountable way the top of the pole used by the De Forest Wireless Telegraph Go. at City Point caught fire yesterday afternoon and burned f1ercely for a time. The fire was first seen shortly after 2 o'clock and a still alarm was sent in to No. lis house, But the flames were so high in the air that nothing could be done. The fire finally burned itself out after about ten feet of the top of the pole had been consumed.
 It was stated at the office of the company on Center street last night that the accident would delay the work but a day or two. The pole will be repaired and new apparatus put up. The origin could not be accounted for. The damage was estimated at from $50 1 to $75.

to their patrons, and the great audi ences that attended this theater yes- terday gave every evidence of appreci- ation of this great dramatic version of sienkiewicz's famous story. Too much praise cannot be given the management for the liberality and good taste shown in the staging of this production. Care
 has evidently been taken to reproduce so far as possible, the architectural effects of the period of the story, the costumes show that the same care has
 been given to this feature of the pros duotion, and all of the minor details of the stage picture harmonize with
 the general scheme of the play. The company has been largely augmented
 for this production. Mir. Lawrence B. McGill made notably good effort as
 Marcus Vinicius, the impetuous young Roman soldier. MT. Willard Dashiell,
 as the cynical Petroiiius showed rare dramatic intelligence Mir. Harry Langdon as Nero, gave realism and fi- delity to his character. Mr. Lucius ! Fairehild, as Chilo Chltonides acted the | character in masterly fashion. Mir. James Gordcns ponderouse voice and
 massive figure realized the Ursus of the cast, and Mr. Everett Butterfeld as Glaucus, the Christian doctor, spoke the lines of the character with great
 intelligence. Miss Gertrude Shipman
 made Lygia another of her notable suc- cesses. She was daintily feminine through all her scenes, Miss Doro-
 thy Lamb as Acte appeared to particu-
 larly good advantage, Miss Edith Cro- ] Illus, as Pomponia was as usual most | pleasing. Miss Margaret Hagen, as
 Eunice. and Miss Ettie Ashhorn, as
 Iras, were both happily cast. As Little ] Aulus, Esther Ara Smith made quite hit. The entire production was care

THE POWER BEHIND THE


 A novelty in the current local alnuse- ments ois announced at the Hyperion Theatre next Tuesday, April 1T, when Mildred Holland the popular actress, who Elas gained an enviable reputation in the world of dramatic art, will pre- sent with elaborate scenic and costume surroundings, in this city, her success full romantic play entitled "The Power Behind the Throne" Miss Holland portrays the part of Aria, the daugh- ter of a humble musician. The charac- ter is a legitimately serious and almost tragic role, which is entirely different from any part which she has hereto fore assumed. There is every reason that Miss Holland should continue to meet with success in this line of work, as she possesses all the necessary re- quirements, charming presence and a marked degree of personal magnetism. sentiment and pathos. However, 1t will be with some curiosity that she will be greeted on this occasion, be- cause, as has been said, her character in "The power Beaind the Throne" is in such marked contrast to the line of parts in which she is most familiarly 1 known.
 scenioally the production is on an elaborate scale, the costumes are said l to be beautiful and historically cor l rect, The furniture is carried by the organization.
