AN OLD TIME sALoME INCIDENT.

Prudcry was shocked in New York, gravity upset the moralsts perplexed and theatrical traditions shaken, in the few years after the close of the Civil war, by the production of '"rhe Black Crook and tho advent of both the French opera bouffe and Lydia Thompson with her troupe of British blondes The first was a crude TO- mantle drama, of antique pattern chosen by mere accident as the vehi. cle of spectacle and ballet on largei scale than the town had ever known. 1t was not that femininity in cons parative undress was strange in New Yorl; theaters, but that so many pairs of tights, so many skirtless amaZons and fairies dazzled the humble vision and bewildered the imagination. Of fenbach and his librettists reflected the volatile spirit, the audaclty and naughtiness of the second French em. pire and nine-tenths of the people in it's first American audiences exaggcr' ated It's wickedness though they found it vaguely delightful.
 Then came Lydia Thompson, ir tights, with blonde hair streaming over her bare shoulders, to perform degenerate type of London burlesqW in an inarticulate but fascinating manner. The lady was then more than 30 but she looked girl in hel teens, and she had some lovely asso. ciates, including the statuesque gir who, according to high authority ex' pressed In the most digni6ed form had found the lost arms of Venus dc Milo Miss Thompsons speech wal all in a high treble and so rapid thai the deplorable puns of her author suf' fcred. Nobody missed them. Sht appeared wholly to the eye, but for q time the eye of democracy wal abnndantIy satisfied
 Lydia Thompson, in her best moods was fairly competent actress, b,u she never would have gained inter- national fame as a hlstrIon She wal an exhibition, and her advent wal one of tho influences in the making ot new theatrical epoch There had been less audaclty and more oarnesl effort in the most trivial theatrical performances before her hour. Somt of the old staEers still date the "dc, cline of the drama from the Lydl Thompson cpoch,--New York Times.

lIonaires have never finished making their money, so entirely that they can slt down and he comfortable. They start trusts, and are always exciting themselves by squeezing other trusts, or else by having their own squeezed.
 This Is hard on their nerves; and though they are used to 1t, and hardly notice the effect at the time. it spells their digestion. Eventually they ar- rive at living mostly on "crackerS' and milk.
 IT they are old their one pleasure is In collecting beautiful things, but as they never have more than ten min- utes at time to admire their treas ures they can't find much satisfaction even in such an expensive fad, which after all, is only another development of the tIresome mania for getting getting,
 If they are young millionaires, and might amuse themselves by motoring and flirting, and falling in love like other less conspicuous people, the newspapers and the public won't let them do 1t in peace. There is go much talk about what the poor rich fellows do and especially what they don't do, that there's no real fun in doing anything. It is much simpler to be a mere royalty. In that case you may pass nnrecognized; but if you are an American millionaire you may as well give up hope, once for all of blushing unseen.
 And then, American millionaires are so much more complicated than other millionaires; which alone Is enough to throw an undue strain upon their nerves.
 Deep down in their hearts, being Americans, they are rather romantic and sentimental, except when they're playing poker, or perhaps bridge. They are almost boyishly patriotic, more so than English millonaires (moro even than those whose names end with stein" or "heim") ), because they love to see a play or read a novel about the Spanish, or, better still, the civil war But what normal English millionaire could now be bothered with tale or drama concerning the Boer episode?
 Also do the American millionaires in the secret depths of their misun- derstood natures worship a sweet young girl, and think of her chival- rousy, as perhaps no other men, mill lionaires or otherwise, do think They place their own womenkind on a throne, and they will do anything in their power--such a vast power, too! for all the nice women they know.
 But this Is where one of the most in- tricate complications in the nature of the American millionaire comes in. tTif gentleness, his boylsh humility with his intjmates. his fierce self assertion of importance with outsiders; the extra ordinary uiceness of him in all ways to tho people he knows; his kindness hls generosity. ls willingness to give his time when each minute is worth at least five thousand dollars And then, by way of contrast, the hardness and steely coldness of him to the peo- pie he doesn't know--tho people Ion masse," who can interfere with his in- terests. or who have not succeeded in
 interesting him,
 His real simplicity of nature Ia one of the most difficult complications tc understand, for nobody expects him tr be simple and this fact constantly gives rise to mlsapprehenslons. But 1t makes

never SAID WAR; TO HOBSoN
EMPHATIC DENIAL OF "PR0B-
ABLE WAR" STORY By LOEB.
Presidents Secretary Declares That
Nothing Remotely Resembling
Statement Was Made.

OYSTER BAY, n. T., July 10.-Secre-
tary Loeb was asked yesterday II the
President would have any comment to
made on the speech Of Representative
Hobson in the democratic national con-
vention at Denver, in which reference
was made to a reported utterance OF
President Roosevelt regarding q war with
Japan. Because of the Presidents alb
sence during the day on picnicing
expedition Mr.. Loeb did not see the e1ecu-
tive until the latter's return from his
outing in the evening.
The secretary was with the President
for three hours last evening. and during
his visit called the Presidents attention
to Representative HObsOns speech, In
which Mr.. Hobson had said:
II want to say to you that not so very
long ago the President of the United
States said in my presence. There exists
the greatest probability of a war with
Japan
When Secretary Loeb returned to the
executive Offices last night the following
official statement was issued:
In reference to the speech OF Repre-
sentative Hobson. Secretary Loeb stated
that the representative must. Of course,
have been misquoted. The President not
only never made such q remark. but
never made any remark even remotely
resembling it. All that the President
has ever said is that II there were a
Sufficient navy there would never be any
possibility OF this country getting into a
foreign war"
Secretary Loeb also said that the
Scribner publishing firm had been given
all the rights for the serial and book
form publication of whatever the Presi-
dent might write of his experiences on
his proposed hunting trip in Africa.
Questioned as to the price to be paid by
the firm for the Presidents written &C.
count OF his trip. the secretary said he
had nothing to give out on that point.

Summering.
From the Columbus Journal

person can make a summer resort al
most anywhere. if his heart is full Of
sympathy and love. 1t is almost entirely
a question of disposition. which. in turn.
is creature of a mans pocketbook. 1t
is hard to be contented anywhere in sum-
mer if mans exchequer Is bounteous.
But IL IL isn't, a heart for any fate is
really a greater fortune. for then one can
be happy wherever a shadow falls or the
grass grows. There is our old friend
Boggs gone off to the mountains or ocean
beach for comfort, leaving his fine house
and ample grounds lifeless and forlorn.
One wonders how he can find happiness
half as sweet and pure anywhere else.
The fellows who have to endure the grind
and .grovel of dog days think II they
could get over In there it would be a
roulp in paradise. No envy about this
at all. Boggs is entitled to his choice.
Let him buy all the pleasure he can The
incident IS only used rs a standpoint to
observe. that going somewhere does not
make happiness half as much as being
something-hav.ng heart and mind open
TO the beauty and grace OF things about
one
II a person cannot follow his fancies
far. let him make up his mind to sum-
mer at home There Is more soul-restor-
ing recreation within ten miles OF Column
bus than there Is along the coast of the
Atlantic or the crests OF the Appalach-
ians, and at one-fourth the cost. And
how does one get it? BY cultivating ones
self-dependence. and making somewhat OF
life itself. and seeing things In a large
sense. in which fashion, foible and within
seem like specks. An intelligence that
loves things truly is not limited for its
pleasure to arbitrary concetts. 1t has the
world at its beck-ail the stars, and birds,
and leafy branches. and blinking brooks.
and lazy clover fields-and on all of these
broods the very spirit OF contentment
which belongs to the heart that knows
lis rights and is ready to maintain them.

The opening services consisted of a
short address by w. L. Jewett on the
story of the lives Of Damon and Py-
thias, on whose friendship the order
was founded. Having told the story
beautifully and ,eloqueptly, the names
OF the departed brothers were called
and as each brothers name was men,
toned Mr. Sage handed Mr.. Jake
Brown a fragrant bouquet, the latter
placed them on the vacant seats which
ere arranged around the altar in the
form Of a triangle and draped with
mourning.
Prelate J. G. Ferguson read the
beautiful prayer in the ritual Of, the
order. The choir sang ,"Abide with
Me-" the prelate read the burial SER
vice and the four principal officers
proceeded to the altar on which each
laid a sprig of cedar in memory
c1 the departed brothers.
Then followed the address by Rev
George Hendree Harrison, rector OF
Grace Episcopal church, which was in
deed an eloquent tribute, taking the
W ords love and friendship as his theme
and from them presenting to the au-
dience a splendid address, to<which nc

pressive one and the manner in which
the order executed the same drew
forth many expressions of approval.

Peter also startled the audience by
stating that the railroads had candi-
