THEATRICAL SEASON CHANGING
New Works Floating Popu alton
Br;nos Rich Harvest OF Managers.

1t has come to pass :hat. in New
York. the theatrical season has neth-
er beginning ror ending. So far as
the greater part of the country is con-
cerned, the theatres end their sea
son with the spring Travelling COM
panies begin closing in April, and the
end of May sees most Of them dis
banded. A few highly succe ssfui
PLAYS continue into June. but usually
all of that month is dead. in theatri-
cal sense, as are July and August.
unless there is stock company in
the city.
1t used to be the same in New
York but now conditions are diner
ent. The spring productions are
more and more important each year,
and while those plays that have mad
long runs usually succumb to not
weather. and the theatres they &C.
cupied are closed during the dog days,
the later productions often have
vitality enough to last through the
hot weather without break. Last
summer PAID in Full and Girls

duct.on overlapping the winter ones.

cal summer shows" and with the
many autumn" productions made IN
the midst Of the hot weather in the
hope tina. they will run all the year.
the theatrical season has become viz
tually year-long.
The explanation for the advance
ment CT the important openings IS
simple enough. II is chiefly re-
cogr ition OF the M TCant'le buyer ana
OF New Yorks popularity as summer
resort. The summer SHOWS gre sup

percentage of New Workers who VIII

But the August productions are for
the great army OF merchants and their
employees from all over the coun-

Fearful OF the defeat OF Judge

vote for the repeal Of the duty with

1t Is thus 4 foregone conclusion
that II the Democratic party has the
power, it will immediately take OF
the duty.
On the other hand. the republican
party believes in protection of Amer

il to preserve in the tariff the prif
ciple that duty shall be equal to the
difference in cost OF production at
home and abroad, together with a
reasonable profit. Its candidate for
President. Mr. Taft. in his speech III

PAPER TRUST.

The publicity bureau Of the Demo.
cratic National Committee has sent
Out the following:
The Paper Trust probably the most
daring OF all the iniQuitious combina-
lions In this country. has taken up
the cause Of Taft and Shs rman In 4
circular letter addressed to patrons
and friends.
This is the combination which. &C
cording to sworn testimony before a
Congressional committee In Washing
ton this year. has arbitrarily iRcreas-
ed the price Of common and print
paper during the last two years from
$l.S5 to $3.50 per hundred pounds in
carload shipments. 1t Is the same
trust that received the attention of
representatives OF ia newspapers al
meeting in New York where resolu,
lions were adopted asking that Con,
gress grant immediate relief from its
exactions.
In its appeal for support for the
Republican Nationalsticket. the paper
trust lays bare its case. II frankly
confesses that a democratic victory
would result in the immediate re,
moval OF duty on print paper and
wood pulp. thus reducing the price,
and adds:

himself in favor Of protection and in
