ing up traffic and freight rates in 1874 MT. Milburn read to you a clause pro- vfding for a drawback to the Standard of the full rate they paid for all crude oil sent to Cleveland for export refining purposes. So the rates from Cleveland to the seaboard were the same as from oil points in Pennsylvania to the sea board?''
 "YesR
 And the roads carrying crude oil to the seaboard were required to pay a drawback of 22 cents a barrel to the shipper if the rates on the agreed pipe age to the shipping points on the rail road be maintained?

 Did MT. Pratt and MT. Rogers stay in possession of the business and for over five years was 1t supposed to be known that they still owned it?'
 Presumably they did"

 .I believe they did"

By Walter Anthony

Wang" that Siamese musical Incl
dent which has become a sort OF classic
popular light opera, will wax fat at
the Princess this week and though
there is no treasure in Wang's mystic
rious chest. there will be in the box Of
fee, which is more to the point and
not at all comic. With Edwin stevens
in his old title role, stentorian, robust
and expansively loquacious; Cecilia
Rhoda back again to sing with rejuven-
ated throat. Every Rose Must Have
Its Thorn" Zoe Barnett in the role
which Della Fox made famous and
fame in; Sarah Edwards as the rather
too alluring widow and mother of a
colony; Arthur Cunningham and Harold
Crane as sons of Mars-with these and
the chorus and expensive production,
like frothy, bright, tuneful entertain
ment. and a beautifully costumed and
well drilled comic opera.
HIGH CLASS BURLESQUE
After rest from the strenuous life
of comic opera comedian which has
extended over three years and more,
Edwin Stevens is back where we knew
him many years ago; back with a voice
and mock heroical methods. Stevens
has played the ''legit" enough to know
its weaknesses, and applies unerringly
as an artist a brush the comedy colors
of high class burlesque. His associate,
Tina Marshall, with whom he has been
starring in vaudeville, is with him
and last night played Gillette, eldest
daughter of Madame Frimousse's 8
household. She was youngest in many
ways; not oldest. for she is making
her debut in comic opera, and while
she exhibited a very small voice she
also showed an easy adaptability to
the broad and vigorous methods of the
musical comedy art
Cecilia Rhoda's part as Marie the
stepdaughter is not extensive, but won
her the approval of her friends, the
audience, which welcomed her warmly.
Zoe Barnett sang her song about the
stream, the hammock and the girl
archly for an encore, and made COM
parson with her distinguished prede-
cessor. Della, necessary; Sarah Ed
wards role is too low for her voice. but
she made up by the sprightly simula-
tion of the giddy widow.
EVEN THE GIRLS PLEASE
The quartet of little maids must not
be forgotten. Here are their names as
a matter of record, for one of them, at
least, is sure to be an Ada Rehan or a
Della Fox or somebody else like that
(quite incidentally I think it will be
the wee miss who danced the little
solo); Airline Levy, Martha Bowes,
Alma Tucker and Olita Handy.
The orchestra-but why say it?
James and his men were there
throughout.
