Northern Lights" At the BIIOu.
 "Northern Lights" the melodrama presented at the Bijou Theatre last night by the HarrIs-Parkinson Stock Company, Is more pretentious and serious entertainment than one expects by q company playing at popular prices.
 Tho melodrama deals with the h. dians and the Western country with particular reference to that dramatic incident in American history, the mas sacre of Custer and his patriotic band.
 Such play gave MT. Harris and his associates exceptional opportunity and they grasped every bit of 1t. Miss La Tour and MT. Teaffe especially showed histrionic skill.
 The stage details were well executed and the audience gave ample evidence of the appreciation of the play.
 Northern Lights" will be repeated at matinee this ufternon and again to- night.

EdiSOn's Future City.

Considerable discussion has been arOus-
ed by a signed prophecy of Thomas A.
Edison, detailing what our large cities
will be like 100 years hence. He says
they will be free from smoke and steam,
and that the chimney will be a thing of
the past, while the waste OF coal and 9TH
er fuel will be stopped through the use
of electricity, generated direct from the
fuel without the aid of engine, boiler or
dynamo. In factories each machine will
have its individual motor. Houses will
be heated electrically. and most of the
cities noises will cease. Skyscrapers will
be universal in the business section. and
the streets will be bridged ever at diff
ferent heights to facilitate transit from
one side to the other. He estimates that
buildings will then average thirty stories
in height, and the greater number will
be constructed of concrete and steel. Such
buildings, he says, will stand a thousand
years or longer. His new battery will
make electricity portable for street We
hicles or airships.

Il Send My Dollar.

oyster Bay, X. Y, July .. 1906
Dear Mr.. sherman. / have your let
ter OF the oath instant and Enclosures
l send my dollar / think H. an al
mirable plan. ana I congratulate you
upon the success that bids fair 10 at
tend the movement. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Thus does the President set his
fellow Republicans an example.
Bands must be hired. halls rented,
printing paid for, and 50 the
"sinews" must be provided. BY the
will Of the American people, cam
paign contributions from corpora
tions are evil. Accordingly the
funds of the two Congressional com
mittees must come from the plain
people" or the offending committee
may expect the AK.
Every man genuinely interested in
the principles of his party can give
a dollar 20 spread them. Hereto
fore the practice has been that "a
few men OF Ii few corporations not
so much interested I'm principles as
in special privileges. would give
enough to warrant post-election
claims for special consideration" "
If funds are needed-and they viii
be needed even in that milIeunial day
when there are no parties-they
would a thousand times better be
raised by dollar contributions from
individual voters than by any other
means.
All this is plain on its face. But
there Is a Significance i'm the Presi-
dents contribution which may not
be SO clear. 1t is that Theodore
Roosevelt accepts the new plan of
barreI-flling and is ready TO sup
port it. As a citizen he could afford
10 give considerably more than "a
dollar. In certain previous elections
it is safe 10 say he did give more.
And the anti-corporation-contribu-
tion act is not Vet law, though it
has passed the Senate. But the
President chose 10 give only a dol
lar and TO do so publicly.
Surely that can mean nothing else
than that he may be counted uponnot
only 10 sign the anti-corporation-
contribution bill if ever it passes the
House, but TO give TO it the enormous
weight Of his influence. That was
10 be expected, of course. But it
is pleasant 10 have this evidence
and 10 contemplate the effect of i.
on the mind of the lower house.

PShaW, DAILY!

For a man whose vogue as a dram
atist began in America, whose real
reputation is stIl here, and whose
money has chiefly been made in our
playhouses, George Bernard Shaw
is ungratefulIy offensive and impu-
dent in his denunciation of our ma
tionaI taste and viewpoint Further
more. his structures are ludicrously
late and easily accounted for.
So long as we squeezed a stream
of gold into his pockets from Can
dida," You Never Can Tell" and
'Alan and Superman, there was
nothing whatever the matter with
our heart or brain, either individu-
ally or collectively. We were a trifie
better than Englishmen because
they had not seen fit TO go into
ecstasies over any of the plays men
toned.
With. Mrs. Warren's Profession s.
and general denunciation of it by
the New York press. everything
changed. Shaw let out the phials
of his wrath--in earnest, we really
believe, although il is hard to tell
what the fellow ever means. And
now Arnold DAILY, Shaw's chief apos-
tie in America, joins the hue and
cry.
According to him, the Mrs. War
