It is a curious thing that the alteration
of political England should all this time
have been divided, though not in equal
proportions. between two illustrious men,
and governed first by one and then the
other of them. neither of whom she more
than half understood, or even pretended
to understand. Palmerston. for instance,
was one Of the most plain headed men
that ever became prime minister. In his
two successors political fortune brought
extraordinary paradox. Mr.. Gladstone,

MAMMOTH, offered to his most ardent
friends endless puzzles He would have
scorned to call himself by any name but
Catholic. and amid all his vicissitudes
was ever the most devoted son of the
Church OF England. Yet he was the idol
of Protestant ultras, the political hero of
Scotch Presbyterians and English inde-
pendents. not to name the small but
ardent band Of ratjOnalists. some of
whom were his stoutest henchmen to the
end.
Disraeli's apotheCsis was just as strange.

ADJUSTMENTS
Relasco.


The play in which Mr.. Forbes Robert
son--is now appearing at the Belasco
Theater is a triumph Of simplicity. It
is frank in its defiance Of the tendency
of the time to celebrate the perverse side
Of human nature. Its characters have
no traits Of greatness. There are no mil
linery marvels to beguile the eye and no
rattle OF repartee to exhilarate the in
terest. Only one stage setting is used
and that so unpretentious that in order
to carry out the idea. the audience is
expected to look at the fender in front
of the footlights aud ina CINE it is sitting
back in the chimney. 1t breaches through
every scene, but the sermonizng is not
ponderous exhortation: only sympa-
thetic appeal to common sense and cour-
teSy, such as must find Endorsement i'll
every creed.
1t was written by Jerome *. Jerome.
It is the work of humorist on holi-
day. voicing a desire to be taken Sc
riously. The insight is keen. and the
weaknesses of human character are held
up not to heartless ridicule or hopeless
reproach. but to sympathetic analysis.
An embittered mind is represented as
matter for charity rather than disdain
and politeness and forbearance becomes
the means of realizing that ideal state
toward which, whether we confess it or
not in our PHILOSOPHERS, the human
race is struggling as best 1t can.
Whether 1t needs the suggestion Of d.
vine incarnation to impress its simple yet
splendid principle Is matter which may
invite argument, but which cannot affect
the influence of the play. If it Is urged
that the appearance Of Christianity per-
sonified in the flesh is too great a
miracle for the mere redemption of a
shabby coterie of boarding house back
biters. the reminder is ready that the fail
Of the sparrow is not unheeded by the
great love upon which mankind depends
Having employed the mechanism OF the
stage as a means of presenting the
idea, the touches OF exaggeratton and
the moments Of improbability which
the theater employs by necessary and
traditional license cannot be dispensed
with. The method of inviting kindness
by kindness and generosity by Sener-
osity is so clearly outlined that the
suggestion OF superhuman greatness
does not efface the plain practical ex-
ample. Lord Chesterfield, had he been
q man of heart and warm sympathy,
could have done as much.
Conspicuous as the moral is, the story
that points 1t is not burdened with
didactic solemnity. Though without In
genious complications, or surprises, the
array of characters. diverse and whimsical,
permits q company Of excellent actors to
display fine interpretive skill. Each char-
actor is gem-at first a stone in the rough,
and later revealing its own peculiar
charm. Mr.. Forbes Robertson's role may
Is finest in its human aspect. 1t does not
tax or even fully reveal the powers
Of this eminent actor. and yet, the sig.
nificance of the part makes Wen
worthy OF the highest skill that can De
brought to its enactment. AS an en-
tertainment the play is amusing: as
character study it is close and analytical:
az an allegory it is unassum1ng, Yet
beautiful. and as an influence crea-
ton Of subtle and Unreasonable reach.

Cosmos.

Annie Abbott, the Georgia magnet
whose marvellous demonstrations OF
power, physical or psychic, are well
known to theatergoers. heads the bill
at the Cosmos Theater. Miss Abbott
still remains the unsolved mystery for
her audiences, her performance being
picturesque as well as puzzling. The
remainder of the bill is Robert Hadley
and company, in comedy playlet en-
titled Their First Quarrel" which
was well received. The Booth trio,
comedy cyclists, performed clever
tricks; the great Mars, trapeze and
slack wire walker, was clever; Francis
Fairfield entertained in character
changes. and Bessie La Count, come
dienne won her share of applause.
Three new reels of motion pictures
were shown.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Experiments in the propagation of
Wild rice and wild celery. SO as to make
high class food for the great fiocks
OF wild geese and ducks which come to
the Louisiana marshes every winter,
have been begun by the board OF COM
missioners for the protection Of birds.
game and fish. The first planting was
completed Friday. under the auspices
Of the commission.
At present the great wild rice and
wild celery producing marshes Of the
United States are In the vicinity Of
Baltimore. Nd. and the canvasback
ducks killed there every season bring
game birds. The wild celery gives the
flesh flavor that cannot be gained
from any other food.
The wild rice marshes are also at
tractive feeding grounds. and 1t is said
that wild ducks and geese feeding in
such marshes can hardly be driven
away from the food.
The idea OF the game commission in
planting these wild vegetable foods is
not only to conserve the WILD birds that
feed in Louisiana every winter but to
make them more valuable as foodstuffs
The wild rice was sown in water
ranging from eight to twelve inches in
depth, and the wild celery roots in wa

ducks are of course compelled to come

work. Other ducks, which are not SO
good divers as the canvasbacks, wait
until a canvasback duck comes to the
surface and then 'yank" the coveted
roots and get away.
In this way the canvasback duck, re-

s'My Man." presented at the Columbia
Theater last night, Is unique in several
ways The person so prominently men
toned in the title is conspicuous by his
complete absence from the cast. Most OF
the characters are crooks-real crooks
and yet not one of them comes to bad

type. Somewhat in line with the sugges-
ton that the Bible should be modernized
