School Athletics.

4 cOmmon-sense view must needs
be taken Of the question of sports
in our public schools. The com
plaint has been made that in some
cases there Is too much competition
for the pupils good; that too much
work on the athletic field is making
Jack a DUH boy mentally. Physical
forwardness IS too often associated
with intellectual backwardism.
It is safe tc say that a good many
boys take athletics altogether too
seriously. The desire to be a hero
is hardly 10 be resisted by a lad
blessed with Drawn and spirit, but
it is only fair to the boy to restrain
him from letting his activity all run
to muscle. It is truly possible that
the glamour of athletic prowess
may nip a youngsters native ability
to shine in the more serious spheres
Of life.
But. it must be admitted that
athletics has assumed a permanent
and very prominent part in the gen
eral scheme of education, so that
today in many colleges the physical
director is a member of the faculty.
Consequently. athletics is to be con-
sidered as one of the serious profess
sions, and ths profession must have
practitioners. Our educators should
take that fact into consideration.
Not every boy is born to practice
law or medicine, or even to keep
hooks.

Capital Unduly Shy.

The "Pennsy's" project 80 sUbsti-
tute electricity for steam on its
New York-Philadelphia division, and
in and around Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. evokcs some extremely
cautious comment from the Boston
Herald. That paper thinks this the
most important undertaking any
railroad in the world has decided
upon. Capital win not invest in
such enterprises, fears the Herald.
if it is to be subject ito caprices of
demagogic emotion" instead of to
the operations of economic law"
From the tone of the comment it
is clear that two-cents-a-mile legis-
lation fairly represents the attitude
of the public mind which the Herald
regards so fearsomely.
The Herald, of Boston, should
read the Press-Post, of Columbus,
Ohio. Here is a sample of the Ohio
view on this question::
Other States which are struggling to
obtain twO-cent fare on steam railroads
ought to turn their eyes once more to-
ward Ohio which was the first State in
the Union TO pass a law putting passen--
ger rates on the tWo-cent basis. Tie
people in other States who are being
handicapped by Federal courts would
learn with profit how twO-cent fare is
increasing the revenues OF railroads in
Ohio If they could only see the report Of
the Ohio State railway commission, just
issued
This report shows that under two
cent fare there was net increase or
81 ,s3.52. 2S2 in passenger earnings, although
ten roads show an aggregate decrease
of S55645. It appears that these lines
a loss are small roads depend
ing largely on freight traffic but IL does
not argue against the success Of the
twO-cent rate that these ten railways
should show a decrease, because the
larger railway systems show a neaVy IN
crease. Consequently where the travel
Is greatest the itsvO-Cent rate actually
renders the greatest good TO the great
est number"
Capital need not be frightened By
any such showing as that. 4 net
increase of 1888, 2S2 is a neat testi-
noniaI to the efficacy of a twO-cent |
law on just such divisions as that
which connects New York with Phil !
adeIphia, or Philadelphia with Pitts
burg. II is the less busy lines /
which are hurt, precisely as slow !
sales require larger margins of |
profit in trade. If the Pennsylvania |
IS installing electric motors in lieu |
Of steam locomotives it is because !
the directorate of that system sees |
a profit in it, and, if there promises /
no profit at a rate of fare proven /
on other roads, capital 1
must wait for this extra earning /
until it becomes possible.
4 great deal Of club" as printers |
,an it, has been published in the
newspapers and magazines about /
undertaking. That was an obvious |
though a weak reply to the specific |
.harges Of the writer's for the maya
lines. 1t spent its force, and in
spite of the sO-called ''pessimism"
ma "croaking" Of the ''muck-r ers"
he people are still demandh the |
punishment of the CRATER! and /
still eager to learn the truth bout /
their government. This plea OF 1
capital with an upper-case- 'C'' shy
ng like a frightened colt may con-
use the public mind as did the cry /
IF undertaking, but not for any /
onger time or to any more lasting
Eject.

WINNINGS OF BRIDGE" NIGGARDLY:
"PETER PAN" MAKES NEW CONVERTS;
FASCINATING FLORA" TRUE TO NAME
The Cast in Fascinating Flora

II there IS any one attribute which
should. above all others, recommend
Fascinating Flora" as a successful mu-
steal comedy It Is that a farseeing and
up-to-date stage director has realized
the necessity Of novel features and
stage effects. The musical comedy was
disclosed TO The Washington public for
the first time last night at the Belasco
Theater. when an audience that filled
the house maaiiestly enjoyed every miu-
ute Of the comedy
Like others OF its kind, Fascinating
Flora is full of music and nonsense,
but the management has fortified these
with a succession Of novel features In
stage business that puts the comedy
peg or two ahead OF the majority Of
its kind. The chorus dances are notable
and are executed with q spirit that
caught the house almost before the first
one was finished. The chorus itself, fur
thermore, is IN fact. as well as in the
theory of the press agent, young and
beautiful. The girls move with energy,
and the effect is euliVening and GER
new stage effects introduced, the chief
or which is given at the end Of the sec
ond act when a screen is lowered and
the entire cast in character silhouette
passes In review.
Adele Richie plays the name part and
IS her own very smartly goWned and
lively self Her voice is in excellent
FORM and she sang with spirit. Her cos
tunes aroused the interest of the mas
culiEe as well as the feminine portion
Of the audience. Ada Lewis adds an
other clever character sketch 10 q list
already long. She was delightfully."-
amusing Ia the role Of a country girl ia
Paris. Sadie Jansell, whom II must be
confessed. the local public has not
known before. Was the surprise OF the
evening. CiSSte. beg pardon, Cecilia
LOTUS and Elsie Janis have dangerous
rival IN the field Of limitations. Miss
Jansel gave limitations OF Hattie VII
Hams. Anna Held, Eva TangUay, and
Eddie FOy. which We're among the clev-
two artists heretofore mentioned. The
audience was surprised, but il took
them only g very few minutes TO real
lie that new light had risen in the
theatrical sky

The Cast in bridge"


It is hard to believe that woman
is the author of play that makes
women do the things of which they are
guilty in Bridge" which opened at
the Columbia Theatcr before fashion
atle audience last night. But Alicia
Ramsey did write Bridge which Is
styled on the program a society
drama" The co-stars in the piece are
Herbert Kelley and Effle shannon.
The first act of Bridge" which be-
gins with a man on the brink OF the
grave and keeps hin, there for thirty
minutes until. at the end, lie rises 70 ms
feet and dies in an Absurd manner, IS
impossible. The second act. which dis
closes d viIlaincus secret wife" and
much more villaincus plot OF the "se-
cret wife" 10 ruin the innocent young
girl whom her husband loves. Is un-
glcrified meIodrama The last two acts
are about as bad as the first two
In Bridge there are a young girl,
who knows 30 better than to borrow
S5oO from a man: an old duchess. who
sweers like a trooper; a woman. who
lies and schemes in as bungling fash
ion AS q common road thleTi ana an
nln5 who violates every principle OF
WOmanlV feeling toward her relatives.
These distorted views Of human nature.
enmeshed II q plot that would wen pc
come a cheap melOdrana house II IL
had the sun-play In Il, serve 10 InaKs
the Dlay crude and Improbable. Some
idea Of the level on which the blot IS
built can be obtained from the bare
statement that the height Of the in
teVest is reached when the scheming
secret wife succeeds in making the peo-
pie on the stage believe temporarily
that the girl who knows no better than
10 borrow money from a man has been
guilty OF cheating at cards.
The cast Of the play IS, on the Whole,
competent. It cannot be said that the
piece is a failure because Of poor act
ing Fife Shannon IS handicapped in
the first pct by q consciousness OF the
hopelessness Of the situations which the
has given her, ard her work
does not shine. In the remainder of the
play, however, she gives a most credit
able performance. Herbert Kelley han
dies the secondary role in pleasing
fashion.
Mrs. SOL Smith. who plays the part
OF the swearing duchess. furnishes the
Of the piece. Her acting Is eX-
Ccllent, and her swearing is done in
a manner that provCkes lots of laugh
ter 1t is hard, nevertheless, TO imagine
such a duchess IN real life in Eng
land nowadays. But, rising above what
the playwright has done 10 the char
acter Mrs Smith gives an impersonation
that endears her to the audience.
Clever work is also done by Edward
Montgomery, Eric Blind. Ruth Holt. and
Gertrude Wolfe.

Amount Not Made Public.

The total amount deposited by Mr..
Cortelyou this fad. to ease money condi-
tons ard facilitate crop moving, Is not
announced ~ This time, because the
crop-moving period is not yet ended.
However, Mr.. Cortelyou says that the
total viii be fully equal to the amounts
put out by the Treasury in former years.
The difference IS that this year the
money has been advanced 10 the banks
quietly, anc at such intervals. in such
localities. and in such sums as the
need Of LEGAL business seemed, IN the
opinion Of Mr.. Cortelyou, to warrant.
In the past, and under Secretary Shaw.
the Government cash was advanced in
large lump sums, from ten 10 twenty
five millions at a clip, with an accom-
panying formal announcement from the
department

pose OF helping substantial business

Politics Disregarded.

As to apportioning the funds, the Sec
rotary at hrst received numerous applI-
cations from the banks seeking a share
OF the money, the applications often be-
ing backed By political influence. Mr..
Ccrtelyou paid no attention 70 such sp-
plications, and, having taken coca
sion to inform himself as to special
needs, and as 20 the banks deserving to
receive the funds. Independently made
the deposits. It is declared that Mr..
CCrtelyou has distributed the funds IL
respective both OF the political lean
ing Of any banK. and OF any political
influence
Mr.. CorteIyou found that as soon as
the bankers came TO understand the
plan of the Treasury, they were well
satisfied with ii. Many OF the leading
bankers Of the Middle West have writ
ten Mr. CortelyOu, expressing their in
CCrsement Of the system. The letters
