merstein, creator and boss of the
Manhattan, are adding materially
TO the gayety of the times. After a
tempestuous campaign, Oscar built
him an opera house in Quakertown,
and just as he got things in good
running order Andreas butted into
the field with competition.
The invasion has inspired Oscar
to comment on the shows put on bv
MS opponent, and his remarks are
fiery and frequent and free. With
regard to recent performances
given by Metropolitan singers in
Philadelphia Oscar said that Dip
pei had taken over a little cart
load" of singers; that the cost of
the production was half what Oscar
paid, and was only half the guar
arantee required by the Metropol-
itan company.
Andreas replied that if an exam
lnation of the books did not prove
oscars statements to be false. ne
would donate the receipts of the
Philadelphia performances to char
tiles in that city. He also declared
that the little CARLOAD" of singers
was composed of 225 members of
the Metropolitan company.
Oscar swears that unless the
Quakers hereafter give him a
guarantee of $500 a performance,
the same as has been given Dippel,
he will pull up his operate stakes
in Philadelphia and will see to it
that his opera house does not fall
into the hands of his rival.
They held graduating exercises
for score of nurses trained at the
German hospital, and the young
women were given the benefit of
the usual addresse of advice and
instruction. Dr. o. G. 7. Kiliani,
president of the medical board,
launched into practical lines when
he said to them:
Don't marry DOCTORS; they're a
poor lot. And don't marry your first
patient, because you may get a
better chance later on"

A FINE MELON: YOU
GET THE RIND.

COO upon which it has been paying 10 per cent dividend
annually. Last week it announced cash dividend of 300
per cent and also its capital stock OF from
$s000O00 to $24000000. The additional $16000000 is to
be issued to the stockholders at par How large dividend
this privilege is will be indicated by the fact that prior
the present year the stock had sold up to 500 and
after this melon cutting it sold up to $500.
This melon cutting furnishes some first class arguments
for several reforms.
Frst-The parcels post: Every day that the lobbyists
prevent the government from inauguIatn9 the parcels
post assists the express companies to continue their rob
berry of the public that other huge accommodations may
be piled up for subsequent melon cuttings.
Second-Government regulation OF express companies:
If there adequate regulation the present eXortOnate
express charges could not be continued
Thrd-Govemment control Of stock issues: Hereafter
the public will be called upon to earn a dividend upon a
captal of $24000000 instead OF $S000000. The public
has already paid the whole of the increase of S160OO000
and hereafter it will be called upon profit its
money.
Fourtll--Protecon for stockholders: This Wells Fargo
stock went in short time from 325 to $50. What mag
ncent opportunity for those the inside. Not only is
the public robbed but also the stakeholder The millions
that are piled up by Wall street manipulation often the
result of methods that make the hghwayman respectable
The hghwayman at least not hypOcrite; but the all
street manipulation often adds to the CRIME OF grand larceny
that of breach Of trust.
Finally the 'interests' are furnishing arguments
for government ownership than all the advocates OF gov
eminent ownership put together The Wells Fargo has the
people and all the business of California completely at
its mercy as has the Southern Pacific railroad This melon
cutting gives the country another striking illustration of
the price it has to pay for private ownership and manu
ation of public utilities. The history of most reforms IS
that they are brought about by the abuses finally becom
ing intolerable.
fore it becomes sufficiently aroused put end to exist
ing inquities!
How long will the people who pay for the melons be
content to have the rind only as their share?
