BERNHARDT TOUR HERE
BROUGHT HER $1,000 900.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE advance
guard of Nine. Sarah Bernhard has
got back to town, after leading the
famous French actress over the greater
part of the United States and Canada.
Yesterday some of the arrangements
for her reception here next week were
completed. OF the formal receptions,
of which there probably will be many.
one of the most elabora4e will be given
at the Players Club on Tuesday after
noon, June 90, at which Nine. Bern
hardt will meet the members of the
club. The invitation was extended by
John Drew. as president, and Nine.
Bernhard, through her manager, has
accepted.
Bernhardt's tour this year has been
remarkable even for her, according to
those who have come ahead. She
opened her American season in Chi
cago on October 2S, and will end in New
York on June q, when she will sail
for France. She then will have covered
about $4,000 miles and will have played
2S5 performances in 23S days, appear
ing in 103 different American cities.
William F. Conner, her manager. said
last night that the gross receipts of the
tour would be nearly 81, 900, 900.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Don't you think that it is about time
that some of the more public spirited
citizens of this city arranged some sort
of a celebration, as other cities have
done, to emphasize its growth and
show to the world at large that New
ark is 'in it" with other rapidly-grow-
ing communities within Uncle Sans
broad domain? 1 mean that we ought
to have some sort of a home week
celebration.
Even wide-awake Newarkers do not
fully realize the remarkable strides
along every line hat this city is maxi
ing. In wealth, population and build
ing it is forging to the front rank at
a rate surprising in such a well-settled
State as New Jersey. 1t is almost like
IN old-time Western "boom town."
with this difference-that it's wealth
has a most solid backbone. the back
bone of legitimate industry.
Statistics show that during the last
month forty-seven cities of the Union
expended nearly $50, 900, 900 for build
ing improvements, and that in this list
Newark was twelfth, and eighth In the
percentage of gain.
And have o noticed the general
first-class character of the structures
that are rearing their proud heads
skyward hereabouts?

sympathy Not Education's Fruit.

sympathy Not Education's Fruit.
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
There are two requisites to the abil-
ity to sympathize, experience and I'M
agination," says a writer who very
truthfully declares that many of us
often say, "All want is sympathy.
This writer is quite correct when she
says tina sympathy is one of the es-
sentials of life and that we all want
it, and when we do not get IT feel
unhappy and alone in the world. But
pathy is in many cases a greater balm
than a more tangible gift, she does
not seem to understand that it Is not
experience or Imagination that is need
ed in the person who is the ready
and sincere sympathizer.
Experience. it seems to me, is not
the chief thing about the sympathetic
person; neither Is imagination. True,
we cannot understand the sorrow OF
some friend when the cause of her sor-
row seems trivial to us. Nevertheless,
the very fact that a friend is in need
of sympathy makes the person, the
really sincere and sympathetic person,
sympathize with his friend, even
though he does not understand why
the friend should be in need of SYM
pathy.
Imagination, a most desirable quail
ty. does not make up for sympathy.
Sympathy should be spontaneous, not
studied. Studied sympathy is not SYM
pathy, and 1t is not so much the put
ting ourselves in a friends place as 1t
is having a iii heart and a warm
regard for a friend.
The only truly sympathetic person
is the person that has the welfare of
his fellow man at heart sympathy is
not so much a matter of education, l..
e., experience and imagination, as it
is a question of temperament.
Innate refinement and kindness, love
Ca universal love, love for all mankind,
for everything created by Cod, these
things make for sympathy, the worth
while sympathy, and 1t need not be an
educated man or woman to possess all
these virtues. The most ignorant of
our brothers and sisters, the most UNI
cultured and illiterate, the most unim-
aginative and the most inexperienced
if they but possess these virtues land
many Of them do), are the real honest
sympathizers.
will admit that oftentimes sorrow,
personal sorrow, makes our natures
more mellow. But in many cases sor-
row makes us bitter. Therefore, I
maintain that it Is not a question OF
experience OF imagination. but a aues-
ton of heart, a question of kindness
and love for all humanity.

Automobile Nuisanccs.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Is there no way of curbing the ex-
uberance of TIL, wild. early morning
motorist? / mean not only the fellow
who honks his horn at early dawn,
but he who owns one of those cheap,
noisy machines that make more fuss
thar a full-fedged locomotive ready for
its run.
There are several of these wild, early
morning motorists in the Roseville
section of the city. where I live, that
ought to be suppressed. They get busy
as early as 5 o'clock and startle nerv-
Gus people out of a sleep that can
never be made good again.
Other noise n%uisances have been
suppressed in this town. and there is
no reason why this should not be.

I'D AYONNE is first among the cities of New Jersey to vote on
I'D the question of commission government, and the election
will take place tomorrow. In the last governors election
the united Republican and Democratic vote in Bayonne was 6,906.
If 30 per cent. of this vote is polled tomorrow the election will be
valid in its results. So much interest has been aroused in the city
and the issue is so novel that it is probable the vote poned will
exceed 50 per cent. of the total vote of last November. What the
result will be is coniectural. The question presented to the voters
lis non-partisan and there is no means of getting a line on the drift
of sentiment. Organization leaders and municipal officers and EN-.
ployees do not look upon the proposition with any friendly SYM
uathy and there is a large partisan element among the voters that
is equally unfriendly. Any notion that may be entertained, there
fore, that the commission government proposition has a clear field
and must necessarily win is not wellfounded. If Bayonne shall
adopt the commission form of government the result will be en-
couraging to the advocates of that proposition in other cities. II
Bayonne shall vote adversely to the proposition its opponents in
other cities will take courage and make a more determined fight.
Not a few polite citizens, be it remarked. are waiting to see how
the commission idea takes hold of the popular mind, ready to go
with the crowd.

s.le.m.n WIN Work Harder.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
AS one of the employees of the large
department stores I wish to use your
columns to thank the heads of all he
department stores who nave so will
ingly had our comforts in their minds
and have decided to not only give il
a Saturday half-holiday, but also close
their stores on Friday nights. This is
indeed more than we could have hoped
for, for we know very we'll that the
merchants will lose many dollars by
this action.
But we will do our best t. make up
for this loss. 1 am sure that every
clerk will consider that it is his duty
to work all the harder during the week
and in that way try to assist their
respective firms for the kind considera-
ton that has been shown them.
The movement on the part of the de-
partment heads is all the more WORTHY
because the Friday evening was given
the employees without solicitation.

a PLEA nv FOR II WATEP-SNAKE

NJ ITH both New Jersey and Staten Island up in arms against
WV water diversion, with the New York water commissioner
recommending the abrogation of the ciys contract with
the water company and with the New Jersey congressman hotfoot
on the trail of the watersnake in Washington, it looks as if
the welllaid plans of the East Jersey Water Company will gang
aglee. When the fact is forced upon the war department that
water from the same underlying strata as in New Jersey can be had
in Staten Island for the digging, and vastly more, too, than Rich
mond borough and the Notifications need, there will be final dis.
comfture for the watersnake. But there is a last plea for Turner
A. Beall, the active promoter of the water snake diversion intrigue.

of widows and orphans, stockholders in the enterprise, who are to
be beggared by it's failure, and also some honest and worthy credit,
os, who will be ruined by it. There were ruinaton and beggary
and bankruptcy when the Legislature passed the McCran bill. Mr.
Beall, in tears, at the time said so, and he asked for receivers for
his company. And. strangely enough, the receivers fitted exactly in
the Job that was then set up to make. the federal government the
tool for the water companys purposes.

TERMINALS IF NOT AN OCEAN MARINE.

m ONGRESS obstinately refuses to do anything to revive our
W ocean commerce. To the stoid farmer of the Middle West
it is of no apparent concern whether the cereals he sends
to Europe are carried in the holds of American or foreign ships.
He gets his price all the same. But if Congress won't give us an
American ocean marine it can at least help to provide terminals
for foreign ships and for vessels of our coastwise trade. The narrow
minded Western farmer ought to be in favor of that, for improved
water terminals help to make cheaper oversee transportation.
