Ii there is any class of business men

that the finances of the country are safe

Pierre Wants River Freight.

freight possibilities Is receiving the
consideration Of the delegates appoint
ed from this city. It was a Pierre man
who by the se.of boat cut the eastern
wool rate more than fifty per cent from
this city,an Pierre men are hoping for
the development of the freight traffic
on the river to such an extent that other
5ffeight rates will be affected fully as
much as were wool rates The move is
oni in earnest and if the river towns
will only pool their interests and work
together, there is no reason why a
material reduction all along the line
cannot be secured

Leap Year.

Fremont Tribune: Tomorrow will
be leap year, girls. The four years
since '04 have rolled quickly around,
though they have left no trace of it on
your fair faces. 1T there are any creases
or semblances of creases radiating from
your radiant eyes they were doubtless
there four years ago and are not caused
by time, but by serious consideration
of serious things. The leap year pre-
negative still holds. 1t may be assert
ed. with some show of logic,
that the gentler sex is making progress
i'll the matter of his ssrights;'' that is to
say, it is forcing its way into profes=
sional and business life more and more
and soon, If not now, will be on equal
ty in these respects with the other sex.
This being SO, it would seem paradoxi
cal it the young woman should not al
SO, more and more, come to regard it as
her right to choose for herself, in the
aggressive sense, in the important mat
ter OF marriage, With four years of
nothing doing in that line and a good
head OF steam and enthusiasm ac-
eanlulated BY reason of it, together
with the general female advance all
along the line. it is easy to see that the
year 1e9s ought to exceed all former
leap years in the matter of mating
maidens of uncertain years and un-
achieved achievements. So, girls, be
t6up and doing with heart for any fate;
still achieving and get a marriage GER

"The Yankee Prince" on Broadway

New York. April 24.-Humorous eff
frontery is the safest quality forI an
American dramatist to put into a ma
tive character meant to be popular.
That element in human nature, as dc
veloped in the states, exists full force
in lawyers and three-card-monte men,
parsons and circus fiimfiammers, Wall
street high financiers and low bucket
shop touts: but the possession of it is
put on the stage most frequently and
effectually in a dOwn-grade sporting
man. 1t has seemed TO me that if Bret
Harte's outcast gamblers had been hui
moristS. too, ana not merely self-con-
tanned knaves, they wouldn't have de-
fled their creator and other experts to
make them as likeable in plays as they
were in books. With the single excep-
ton OF ''M'liss," put by Clay Greene
into fortunate play for Annie Pixley,
no Harte material has been of much
theatrical account. The dead and gone
Stuart Robson, having failed with ar
acting version of 1.-TWO Men of Sandy
Bar" butted his sore head against the
newspaper critics, and had TO apologize
TO one OF them to save himself from
legal prosecution.
); X >.
George NJ. Cohan has in his new play
THE Yankee Prince" a humoristic
sporting man, who overlays out of
sight with giggles, smokers, cachina-
lions and outlaws, all the other noises
of mirth. Nothing in this nonsense
show is more singular than Cohan's
subordination of himself to Tom Lew
is. the player of that part. In his
thank-you speech on the opening night,
he begged his audience not TO take him
as a drdmatfst seriously, and declared
there was nothing worth a moments
consideration in any song-and-dance
farce. He sought to be understood as
TO holding his own work in contempt;
yet the sophisticated New Workers who
filed the theatre were noisy with hi
larity; and my pen would become en-
vious if / were 10 figure with it on the
addition which this extravaganza will
make to his wealth. My best guess IS
that Cohan. having convinced himself
that he can't write a drama Of dignity,
or else being at work secrstly on one
with which he hopes to amaze the pub
lie. is working now to pack his pocket
rather than swell his pride. That
would explain why he has given more
and better humor to the role of a prize
fight manager for Tom Lewis than to
that of an ardent but ordinary young
lover for himself.
Tom Lewis is 'droll, fat fellow, who
was a bogus negro in vaudeville until
Cohan saw in him a right actor to en-
body human congealment of cool Su-
dacity. Conan contracted for some
years of Toms future, and so in 'The
Yankee Prince" Tom is tourist who
takes along a letter from John L. Sui
livan. whom he regards as the most
justly illustriOus American, 10 the king
of Great Britain, who welcomes him
cordially.

Judge H. c. Niles of the Missis-

in favor of the Gulf Compress Com
pany, in an intervention suit against
the Warren county chancery court
which last year declared it a combi-
nation in restraint of trade and or
dered it ousted from the State with
in twelve months. In his opinion
Judge Niles said that it was a mat
ter that concerned only the stock
holders and creditors, and seems to
be imbued with the conviction that
the company is endeavoring to wind
up its affairs in good faith, To retire
from business in this state If that
is the Gulf Company : real inten-
ton, or if it proposes 10 re-organ
ize and operate under Mississippi
laws, there is no necessity for Attor
ney-General Fletcher to proceed
further with the case, but that Of
fetal is evidently skeptical ON those
points and declares that ne will
come again. Heretofore Judge
Niles has exhibited due regard
for the State courts, as compared
to actions Of Federal Judges in 9TH
er States. and on the strength Of
this record we are disposed to ac-
cept his ruling as the proper dis
D0sal of the case.
