 Playhouse, Coart Says. New York Special
 Just as every man can be a king ir his own home. every theater manager or owner can be czar in his own thea tor.
 By majority of four to one the appellate division of the Supreme court today held that a mans theater is his castle and that he can keep out or admit whomsoever he pleases. James g. Metcalfe dramatic critic of Life. in- eluded. This decision spelled defeat for Metcalfe in his long legal fight against the. managers who would not let him enter their theaters at any price.
 No Crime to Keep Critics Out.
 The court held that the managers committed no crime in excluding Met calfe or critics who considered them in condemnation of plays or players.
 Charles Burnham, manager of Wal lacks, who volunteered as test case to be a martyr. and was held to trial on the charge of conspiracy, was dis charged.
 The courts decision follows closely the lines laid down by the Court of Appears in the speculator's ticket case of Collisters vs. Hyman. The highest court in the state decided then that a theater Is a private business, which the proprietor cS@ open or close at will and to which he can admit whom he sees fit

 There was a time when dancing, far from being consideredTa necessary part of the training of a boy or girl. was looked upon as positively wicked. ana. indeed, there are many persons not en- tiraly lacking in brains who now con- de,nf 1t as an invention of Satan. Which makes it all the more remark able that this much abused pastime Is really establishing for itself fixed place in the curriculum of many we'll regulated school Hundreds of teachers there are who view dancing not as one of the "fade and fril1s." but as almost a necessity in the school course.
 In Europe this is no new thing, but here 1t is. On the other side of the Atlantic the educational value of danc- Ing has long been recognized, and chil- dren there early become versed In the poetry of motion, America either could not or would not-probably the latter absorb the idea, and the present year finds the teaching of dancing in schools though rapidly growing more popular, still unimportant compared to its status In Europe.
 Every teacher in and about New York City will recall the National Physical Culture Convention at Columbia last Surink. And nobody vino attended any of the sessions can forgrt the promi- nent place given to tile teachers of dancina and to the children who acted as demonstrators. Net day passed but there was an exhibition e some variety of dancing. One enthusiast gave a lecture on straight-foct danc- ing, proving to the satisfaction Of many of her hearers and certalniy to her own that the natural and beautiful way for the foot to be placed was with the toes straight ahead, instead of turned out. Many different theories as to de- tail were attacked and defended.
 There Is much more behind the teach ing of dancing than appears to the cas- ual observer Those who have gone Into the subject most deeply find in physical motion a fundamental and necessary stage of development. The priruitivs, the very first method of ex- pression, they will tell you, Is the ges- ture, the movement of the hand, head. or foot, an undeVeloped form of danc- ing. The art of motion. according to their theory, Is just as much an art as is either poetry or music. And 1t should precede either of theso two be- cause 1t iE more natural, primitive. spontaneous.
 There must be pioneers in every movement, and in this case it Is a wo- man. Miss Caroline Crawford of Teach CTS College, Columbia, Is perhaps the most ardent adherent of educational

Metcalfe's complaint lies In resolu- ton adopted by the managers at their mass meeting Jan. i2. 1905. BufnnAm at that meeting had resolution passed condemning the action of certain crlt. ics in referring to the religious ana racial characteristics of certain thea. trical managers. This was direct reference to the criticisms and cartoons in Life following the Iriquoise theatef fire in Chicago. The Hebfiac charac- teriatics of many managers have been commented upon heavily.
 Following condemnatory resolutions. another was passed by which the mana gers agreed In body to keep MetcAlte out of their theaters.

There are certain old familiar dances which are always taught; how much originality is in- jected Into the course depends quite naturally on the originality of the ideas of the teacher
 Perhaps the dancing courses are no- where so popular as in New York City. In many of the private and public schools lessons fin dancing are among the first giver to the very young boys and girls. Long before they are able to learn things that are taught from books the little ones become adopts at dancing; they take to 1t as a fish takes to water.

 Tn Bad At An Auction
 Six years ago Mir. Sage's bid at an auction sale of some stocks and bonds wes refused. Some one started the lot at $25.00O. There were acoupie of other bids. ana then Mir. Sage. who had got as close to the auctioneer as the Aowd would let him. spoke up.
 '1 bid $29.000," he said.
 The ~auctioneer had recognized him. and said: "The bid cannot be enter tained, as the bidder has not qualified under the decree of the court by dspos- ltips 25 per cent of the amount of his bid He must deposit certified
 aBut I have the money here.' said Mir. Sage, sIappinR his chest. over which his coat was tightly buttoned T am good for it."
 / The auctioneer waited a moment. but Mfr Sage did not advance to deposit any money. and he then again called for bids.
 Keynote of His Life, Thrift.
 Although his income was reckoped at s5,000 a day, at least, and by some people at twice that amount. he lived at the rate of $5.00O a year or less. and his persona. expenses were never more than s100 a year. That is liberal estimate He had two suits of clothes. one for weekdays and the other for Sunday, and he wore them as long as ar ybody can remebrer. He did not buy a new overcoat for fifteen or twenty years, and his hat was quite as old at that If not older.
 A few years ago he sent for q man who had done him a favor. and in a confidential way said that he was, go- ing to reward him wath .tip' that he could work for a profit.

TubercuIoaia Among Negroes.

 Tuberculosis is a more deadly foe Of the negro than of the white man. This fast has been frequently noted in the south and the elaborate reports made by Dr. Flick in this city seem to prove be reliable authorities also declare that the educated negroes of the south are more susceptible to the disease than are the laborers of the fields. This raises some interesting questions. Can the negro. after thousands of years of open air and sunshine en- dure transplanting that puts him with in an inclosure and in shadef Can the race that from the beginning has lived mainly in hot countries. unfet- tered by thousand things which have imprisoned the swhite man. now take up the burden of the latter and bear 1t without q physical breakdownf

Among fthe many people who have sued MT. Sage at various times there have been three women plaintiffs in
 the last ten years. One was Della Keegan, a servant, whose case was dis missed in 1898 Sophia L. Mattern. an artist, sued him in 1887 fer $s.009 which she said he owed her on busi- ness transactions. The latest suit was brought last January by Isabella de Aura to recover $75.000. According to the court reports this suit was to re- cover the ST5,O0O on an alleged con- f-act to stop a previous action against MT. Sage. The old action was begun in 1884. The woman said that Mir.

some E:pIxram. of sage.


 Here are some of the recorded say ings of Russell Sage. which give an insight into his character. .
 When you h2vc made your fortune 1t is time enough to think about spend ! ing it. Two suits of clothes are enough for any young man. The only thought that a 4oung man need spend about his clothes IS to look out for Bargains at the ldwest price, much fear that a gocdIy part Of our 8ung nien spend much of their time in t1Itnking how expensive they can make their ward- robes.
 Every young man should watch the clothing market as closely as a Wall Street bSoker watches the stock mar lket. The boy who knows bargains in socks makes the man who knows bar gains in stocks.
 Fifty cents is enough for a straw hat; 1t will last two seasons. You can get for s9 cents an unlaundered white Shirt which is excellent. You can get a good undershirt for 25 cents. SIX is not for salaried men. Fine clothes bring sham pleasure. Don't try to rival the flowers of the field.
 Clubs are only a place for idle men and wasteful young men,
 An active man builds success upon a foundation of failure; passive man does not.
 when you have made your fortune It is time enough to think about spend- ing it

America and Rome.

With idleness and luxury went the
usual tendency to brutality and de-
moralization. The historical novel
was not invented; so that Roman
ladies and gentlemen could not sit by
the fire of an evening and read highly
spiced narratives of murder and tor
ture. But, after all, the incidents of
the arena, though less varied, were
perhaps even more piquant than Mr..
Kipling or Mr.. Jack London. Social
morals, too, were of quality which
seems only too apt to accompany the
highest civilization. Divorce was al
most as easily obtained as in some of
our western states, and nearly as COM
mon. Cicero, for instance, was sepa-
rated from two wives; yet he was
universally regarded as of stainless
character, and that he was wise is
shown by his remarling, when urged
to marry a third time, that 1T is
difficult for man to devote himself at
once to a wife and to philosophy. -
