MSalome.U

The great event of the season at tho
Metropolitan Opera House this week was
the production OF "Salome," and one of
the events of the dramatic season was
the production by e. II. Sothern and Jul
liza Marlowe of play called " John the
Baptist" This is the interesting editor
ial comment the World makes on the
production of "Salome":
How long ago was 1t that an Ameri-
can theatrical manager intent on repro
ducing one of Oscar Wilde's plays
thought it advisable to leave the au-
thor's name off the bills as a concession
has had his revenge. A pity he is not
alive to enjoy 1t. for the man had humor
of a certain kind
wilde would have been infinitely
amused by the spectacle at the Metropol-
itan Opera House Tuesday night, when
1000 men and women representing the
wealth culture and intelligence of New
York crowded $4,000 into Herr Conried' S
Golfers for the privilege of hearing "Sa-
lone" after Richard Strauss had trans
lated ii into music. What would have
delighted him most was the seriousness
with which the audience took the per
Torrance. Being a decadent and a de-
generate, Wilde himself knew that "Sa-
lone" was not to be taken too seriously.
He wrote it from a whimsical ambition
to produce something sensual and Gu
rious'' with which Sarah Bernhard could
shock a faded Paris, and he adopted
French as a medium of expression be-
cause it happened to be the language of
Gauter and Flaubert."

John the Divine announce that it may
take a century to complete the struc-
ture. Many New York school boys who
remember when the last arch on Morn
ingside Heights that looks like a medic
val Gothic ruin first begun to attract at
tention by its magnitude, have become
voters now.
The trustees in explaining that the de-
lay is nothing extraordinary point out
that many Of the great cathedraIs of
Europe were four and five hundred years
in building. But it is hard for New
Workers, who have seen sky-scrappers
twenty stories high shoot up in a year
or two, to accept this view.

Speaker Reeds Handsome Estate.

From Leslies Weekly.
1t will delight the numerous friends Of
the late Speaker Reed to learn that his
estate, which has recently been passed
over to his widow, has increased three
fold during the four years since his
death, and that its approximate value
is about half a million dollars. The
large increase was due mainly to Mr.. Au-
gustus G. Paine of New York City, who
was named as executor, and who had
charge of the investment of Mr.. Reeds
securities. 1t is fortunate that the estate
had such a faithful and competent adj
wiser.

Increase in Rents,

The most striking phenomenon OF the
last year in the experience OF the charit-
able agencies In New York" says the
annual report of the Charity Organization
socity, lis the persistent increase in the
rents of tenements." And this, despite
the fact that in the last three years the
city has had an unprecedented building
boom. - n |
The reports of the tenement house de-
partment show that in these three years
apartments for 1882 families were add
ed to the previously existing supply. In
the same period building permits were is
sued for the erection of 25,14S dwellings
1t is safe to assume that one-half of
the latter were two-family houses. On
this assumption quarters were provided
for a total of 210,654 families, which,
counting five persons to family, implies
a population of 1,053.270.
Meanwhile the actual growth of popu-
leton has certainly not exceeded $50 600.
ording to the state census OF 1903, the
annual average increase between that
year and 1900 was about 115,500. The board
OF health estimates the present rate of in
crease at 1S5. 900 year.
Tt is apparent from these figures that
there is plenty of housing somewhere in
the city. So 1t comes down to question
OF availability and availability means ade-
qCate transportation. Many OF these
houses are situated in parts OF the city
where the transportation facilities are
poor and people will not occupy them.

which his friends received this question.
At last one of them ventured to say:
You say you have letters Of Introduction
to the governor. 1t would hardly be
necessary ordinarily for a man of your
reputation to fortify himself with let
ters of Introduction to high officials any
where in the English speaking world. But
my advice to you is that you do not pre-
sent these letters of introduction to the
governor OF Jamaica"
When the American asked If there were
any special reason why he should not
do that, or If he were himself not what
this diplomatist called persona grata to
this governor, the only reply he received
was: III you present your letters of in

Every one who has visited New York
is familiar with the straphanger. He Is
a product of the miserable financial facil-

STEEL TIES SPREAD.
That All of the Passengers on the
Eighteen Hour Train That Was
Hurled Into River Were Net
Killed Considered Miraculous
Train Rolls Down Embnnkment.

Johnstown, Pa, Feb. 26-Rushing
around the sharpest and most dan
gerous curve on the line at terrific
speed, in an effort to make up forty
six minutes of lost time. the wcst-
bound Pennsylvania Special, the
company's crack eighteen-hour train
between New York and Chicago, left
the rails seven miles east of this
place Saturday. Tree sleepers went
down twenty-foot embankment
into the Conemaugh River.
No one was killed, but OF the one
hundred passengers on the train all
were hurt.
The flyer was composed OF the
combination parlor car Kokomo,
sleeping cars Cresheim and Whit
ford, and the observation car Wana-
tah. The train had left this city
forty-six minutes late, and was run
ming at high speed down the western
slope of the Allegheny Mountains.
A new piece of track had been
put in at this point n short time ago.
Instead of the ordinary wood cross

One of these bolts, the railroad men
say, gave away, the rails spread and
the train, running around a curve
at sixty miles an hour to make up
lost time, was thrown to the river.
When the heavy train went over
the embankment everything went he
fore 1t, including the telegraph poles.
For that reason 1t was hours before
the outside world could be communi-
Gated with and assistance sent to the

SPEECH RESTORED BY BURN.
Mute Lad Touches an Electric Light
Wire and Begins to Talk.

Toledo, Ohio, Feb 21.-From
practically mute little Roy Dwyer,
four years old, was transformed into
4 boy with his full gift of speech by n
painful accident.
During the absence of his elders
Roy wandered into the sitting room
OF his home and took the incandes-
cent bulb from its socket over the
writing desk. The light was burning,
when moment later the boy put his
finger into the socket he received a
severe shock and the tip OF his fin.
ger was burned nearly off.
Crying with pain, the little fellow
ran to his mother. In sympathetic
tones she inquired into his trouble
and was amazed when, in tones
strangely unnatural, her hitherto
mute child answered, Il burned my
finger, mamma"
Roy is an exceptionally bright
child He is strong, healthy and has
unusual knowledge for one of his
years. But his speech was only gut
tural sounds, such as are made by a
mute. Surgery has been applied in
every form by the very best Of sur
geons In America. The boys tongue
has been slit, his throat has been
doctored and other methods have
been tried, but all ayailed nothing.

The Irish House Of Commons.

The Irish House of Commons sat
for the last time on June 10, 1900. 1t
was the duty of Lord Castlereagh to
move the third reading Oh the union
bill, and he discharged the duty with
the utmost apparent equanlmity.
Other members were not SO COM
posed, and TO conceal their emotion
hurriedly left the room. The speaker,
who hated the measure, rose to put
the fatal question. He held up the
bill for a moment in silence, and
looked, according to a spectators ac-
count on the scene, steadily round on
the last agony of the expiring parlia-
ment. He at length repeated in an
emphatic tone, AS many as are Of
opinion that this bill do pass say aye;
the contrary say no. The affirmative
was languid, but indisputable. An
otner momentary pause ensued. Again
his lips seemed to decline their Office.
At length, with an eye averted from
the object which he hated he pro-
claimed with a subdued voice, The
ayes have it, The fatal sentence was
now pronounced-fo an instant he
stood statue-like, then Indignantly
and with disgust, flung the bill upon
the table and sank in his chair with
an exhausted spirit.-London ChToni-
