Tuesday night. A sum of money, said

"ChnnteeIer. q satire

Rostand's play, "Chantecler," at last produced in Paris, contains a deeply satirical comment on the nature of egcmania, megalomania, etc. The cool, who thought that the rising of the sun was dependent on his growing is not merely cock. He represents an eternal principle of human nature. He have now and always have had, social philos- ophers, reformers, and plain fools who believe that their ideas have unduly af- fected the course of social evolution which, as a matter of fact, would have gone on its course without them.
 The cocks despair when, after being soothed into prolonged sleep by the af- fectionate sympathy of hen, he awakes to find that the sun has arisen without his help, is equaled only by that of the strenuous human being who to his sad amazenlent, finds that the world can get along without him. And then great men previous to the time of Chantecler, have been put to sleep by womans love, and have awakened to find that their place
 in the machine is filled; that things con tinue to move. Through the eternal fem mine they lose their Illusions about themselves and are sadder but wiser Chantecer was a wise cock when he discovered that his crow was not an ab- solute necessity to the continued exist once of the world, and that this wisdom was brought to him through the humble means of simple hen.

"Marathon. Dancing
From the New York World.

ioii liIe NeW 1Ork WOrld.
 A grotesque development of the en- durance contest as applied to amuse- ments is the "Marath on" dance. a char acteristic example of which was fur nished in Brooklyn the other nignt when l6 couples engaged in an hour and-a-half dancing competition for prizes.
 An edifying spectacle it must have been to see the contesting teams" clad as lightly as decency allowed, sustained oy ssimulants and numbered and tagged Tor Identification and to facilitate bet ting, as they moved their lahored way around the hall( interrupted only by the removal of young women dancers rom the floor as they tainted A spec tacle calculated to make Terpsichcre weep at the degradation of her art ret this It appears, was only a mild form of Marathon dance. One at San Francisco last week lasted for 15 hours and minutes, or until broken up by the police on the recommendation cf physicians.
 This of course Is perversion O, pleasure. Yet apart from esth etic con sideration 1t is obvious that a Mar athon dance imposes a strain on the vitality which makes it in the highest degree dangerous. Dancing in moder- atfon is one. of the most h healt1ful of exercises. Pursued Ser the abnor- nal conditions of a six-day bicycle ace, in foul atmospheres, to the limit Of endurance, it passes from a pleasure to crime against the physical well being of the dancer.

HARRY LAUDER's RECORD
Comedian Appeared In Four Far Apart
 London Halls In Night
From the Sketch, London.

From the Sketch, London.
 MT. Harry Lauder claims for himself the record of covering the largest number of halls at the longest distance apart in the shortest space of time. 1t was certainly a remarkably strenuous performance. At the time--it was sew eral years ago-he was engaged on the Tivoli Syndicate of Halls, and, in ad- dtion to these, was booked to appear at the Hammersmith palace. He says:
 My times were mapped out by the Tivo1 directors as follows: Canterbury Music hall, Westminster Bridge road, g o'clock; Metropolitan, Edgeware road, 9.45, and Tivoli, 10:25 Starting my nights work at the Canterbury, I gave an IS minutes show, then ran, fully dressed, to my motor brougham and drove with all haste to the Metropoli- tan. Here I was on the stage for ex- actly 20 minutes, leaving me a quarter of an hour to cover the three miles be- tween Edgeware road and the Tivoli Another 20 minutes performance, fln-
 shing, as nearly as may be, at a quar- ter to eleven, gave me fully 20 minutes to reach the Hammersmith palace five miles away. Going on the stage here no later than 10 minutes past II, completed my full evenings toll in- side two and half hours"
 Singing eight songs, changing from head to foot 12 times, and driving fully dozen miles, in two and a half hours, Is "hustling' with a vengeance. ever, before the two houses "a night system was instituted at the smaller halls, and it Is quite on the cards that this marvellous example of strenuosity has ere now been beaten, though one can scarcely imagine it possible.

AT WORK WITH
 SILK MILL GIRLS

In Harper's for April, Miss Florence Sanville of the Consumers league of Phll- adelpha, tells of her experiences as a worker in one of the Pennsylvania silk mills. Miss Sanvile and friend, Miss Cochran. obtained work as ordinary mill hands in order to make a thorough study of the conditions in the mills.
 "The evils of prolonged hours of labor for growing girls are intensified when this labor Is performed at night Night uola after a given hour is prohibited by law for all women in certain industries in few states. Massachusetts, for in- stance. requires that no woman shall work in textile factory after D. m. Other states protect all girls up to cer- tain age from any night employment as in Ohio, where no girl under years of age Is allowed to work after D. m. Many states have no restrictive legisla- tion on this subject Pennsylvania, four years ago, forbade all children under 16, with the exception of boys in certain kinds of occupation, to work for wages after 9 D. m., and the legislature of 1909 has included all girls below IS years in this protected class. But this law, which sounds so well on paper, has up to the present proved but lame one on ac- count of the loose requirements of the age certifcates how lame Miss cochran and I saw most clearly on the evening when we first applied for work on the night shift
 .'As we went into the factory our pas sage was blocked by a return stream of girls, and the announcement that the boiler was burst and there was no work that night In the outpouring lnrong, jubilant at their release were so many short skirts that it might well have been a group of school girls dismissed late by their teacher. We naturally fell in with the girls whose way led in the same di- rection as ours, and we walked down the railroad track together.
 "'Yer never worked nights. did yer? was the first question put to us. We con- fessed not. 'Y'lI git more fer it-but it's terrible hard I asked about the hours and found that they were from 6;30 In the evening until in the morning. with a half hour at midnight. They keep the doors locked so that no one can't git out they didn't used ter
 "A few of the girls left the track to cut across nearby lot We're goin' to git blueberries afore it gifts dark they called out as they went away
 - most always go berryin' when l leave the mill in the nornin's, one of our companions vouchsafed to us.
 "'But aren't. you too sleepy?' Miss Cochran asked.
 "'Oh. no-I can't sleep none when I leave the mill. I go to bed after dinner, when I've helped my ma some.
 It's not so bad at nights when you gifts used to it.. another encouraged us. When yer ends is all up the boss lets you lie on the floor and go to sleep. Most all of the girls takes a nap about o'clock, and he don't say nuthin.'"

Parrish, Philadelphia, alleged to be the secretary of the Phil adelphia Consolidated exchange; Harris C. Stumpf, Philadelphia member of the exchange and member of the brokerage firm of Harvey & Stumpf.
 Most of the men were arrested while on the floor of the Philadelphia Consolidated Stock exchange, which the government declares is one of the centers of the buck etshop business.
 George Cortelyou, chief of the postal in- spcctors In this city. who had charge of the arrests here, declared that the ar rest of the alleged bucketshoppers here, Ifs the most important of the whole out f1t."
 ''The Consolidated exchange in this city, declared MT Cortelyou, was the center of the system of which the oper- ators In other cities were merely branches. Stocks were bought and sold without the exchange of certificates or shares. and all the transactions in other cities had to be cleared through the Con- Soiidated exchange here"

Face of the Typical New Yorker

London is a friendless city enough. heavens knows, to those who are not able to conquer; but she seems to me mild. benianant even, in comparison with New York. The face of the Londoner Is very often overcast with the thought of how to get a living In the keen compe- tition of the people in that mighty cap ital; but the London face is tranquility embodied in comparison with the race ol the typical New Yorker. Keen, hatchet- shaped, anxious, absorbed, such IS the face you see everywhere around you. Ano this keenness of; face is accompanied by a terrible spirit of self-absorption. You seldom see people talk much while they are traveling on the elevated railway or in the subway,
