ADJUSTMENTS
THE GINGERBREAD MAN"

Very few comic operas OF recent
years have given such unbonnded sat
siaction as the Gingerbread Man
This piece was originally presented
some years ago BY millionaire at
Maiden, Mass. by the name OF Con-
verse, who put something like Sltn'OOo
in its production and the first year
that II toured the country the entour-
age was so elaborate that no theatres
could hold sufficient money TO pay its
expenses. II Of course made an un-
usual hit as the production was mag
niicent. 1t also demonstrated the
fact that the music was Of unusual
quality and so pleased everybody
that they were ANXIOUS to see 1t again
and again. Some OF the numbers
were classics in a way and formed
part OF the NUCLEUS Of many individual
music writers. Music stores had q
| large sale and everybody was whist
ling the Gingerbread Man" The
hook by Frederick G. Ranken is.rath
er fantastic in character. yet Il served
to hinge together a lot Of clever
lyrics and some very funny comedy,
and the characters Of "Margery Daw,"
Simple Simon" Jack Horner.'
King Bunn,' regained their stand
ing in almost every household that
had been represented at the perform
ance of this clever jera.
The Gingerbread Man" received A
royal welcome everywhere and its
catchy songs and amusing sayings
were repeated by everybody Every

John Dough" and other songs in tht
piece were frequently quoted anC
seemed to have an uncommon vogue
for a long time after the opera ha,
left the city, and demonstrated thu
fact that the whole fabric Of the piec'
is built on uncommon lines and th'
genuine comic opera properly pre-
sented has longevity and will con
tinue to please long after the so
called musical comedy has passed ou

The Human Appetite.

OF all the whimsical, shifting, unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious'
There are those who humor it; 9th
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con-
sideration. To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered. at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, is always
desirable information One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted to
this, is the Palace Restaurant just

HOPE TO FIND SOME
TRACE OF Leon LING
Fifty New York Detectives at
Work In New Jersey Towns.

New York, June 30.-The police cor
don thrown about the comparatively
narrow territory comprising Paterson,
Passa1c, Hackensack and other neigh
boring towns in New Jersey is tight
ening around a number Of Cinnamon
among whom the police hope to find
trace of Leon Ling, the supposed MUIR
derer of Elsie 'Sfgel.
Fifty of the best detectives of In
spector McCafferty's staff have been
sent into this district The concen-
tration of SO many of them lent color
to a belief that important informa-
tion, carefully guarded from the pub
lie, was in the possession of the pO-
lice.
The double mystery of the indie
pendent movements of leon Ling and
of the trunk containing the body of
Elsie Sigel was apparently no nearer
solution after detectives had run down
the latest clue, the alleged moving of
the trunk on the night of June from
Leon Ling's rooms In Eighth avenue
to a laundry In West One Hundred
and Twenty-sixth street. According
to the man who is supposed to have
moved the trunk Leon Ling did not
accompany it on its travels from. the
Eighth avenue address to Harlem, but
sent it on by express The laundry
was found untenanted when the de-
tectfves visited 1t, however, and no
evidence of value was obtained.

was not the crime with which Bran
denburg was charged.
Brandenburg's case has attracted

question of the genuineness Of the
Cleveland article, on which the pro-
ceedings against him were based. Mrs.
