salary of $40 Makes Civil Service
Messengers Too Independent.

From the Chicago News
Civil. service messenger boys at 80
week are failure. R. A. widowson,
secretary Of the civil service commits
sion. says so, and adds that he would
like to find an exception to this rule
While he is seeking for one to prove
that he is wrong the work Of his ONCE
is piling up and he is forced to have
$2O-a-week clerks do the bulk of his mes
senger work
Good messenger boys at SO a week
are impossible" he says. ''You can take
youngster working for corporation
at 50 week, work him like dog, kick
him around. abuse him in every way,
and he sticks closer than brother.
But one Of these young princes that
condescend to take the civil service ex-
animation! Well should say not"
The trouble. according to Mr.. Widow
son. is that the boys cannot stand pros
perity. Used to receiving small wages
and smoking cigarettes with the rest Of
the gang. they soon take to smoking
cigars and playing poker when their
envelope contains $40 instead Of S. Ad-
yertIsements have been inserted in the
newspapers calling for boys whose heads

popularity of the waltz songs in ''The
Merry Widow" and 1.-THE Spring Maid, -
yet the texture of the entire piece is
exceedingly fine, and is the sort of work
that grows on the music lover.
The scene of the piece is laid, as is
usually the case, in a mythical European
principality. The plot has to deal with
certain young prince who has been
writing threatening letters to the En-
peror. Although he is suspected by the
minister of police, there Is not sufficient
evidence to arrest him, and in order to
secure this evidence the minister en-
cages the services of a dozen girls. or
sirens, whose work II is to write love
notes to the young prince in the hope
that he will answer them, and thus con-
vict himself by his handwriting. The plot.
however, does not succeed until the
prince falls in love with one of the sirens.
The affection is mutual, and she is un-
aware of the part she is playing until II
is too late. As is the case in all musical
comedies, everything turns out lovely.
There are several pretty songs in THE
Siren.' particularly one called Waltz
Caprice" which will no doubt attain
whistling popularity.
While the new star took advantage Of
his opportunities and deserves credit for
his excellent work, II was the sweet girl
ish face and figure of Miss Sanderson
that captivated the audience. She is one
of the most popular musical comedy stars
in the country, and her work In The
Siren by no means detracts from her
reputation.
What comedy work there was was
taken care of by William West and Frank
Moulan. This was by no means, how

PROPER SIZE OF NAVY

The question for the United States, as
regards the size of its navy, is not Sc
much what 1t desires to accomplish as
what il is willing or not willing to con-

plainly that We are unwilling to con-
cede anything as regards the control
Of the Panama Canal, even to discuss

pared to be obliged TO concede on these
points, because unready TO maintain them

It is upon such general considerations

By EMORY b. CALVERT.

New York, Sept. At was Donald
Brian's twinkling toes that first won him
fame when he appeared a few years ago
as Prince Danilo in 1.-The Merry Widow"
Previous toythis he had been a nonentity
in the theatrical world. Within one short
season, however, his fame spread far and
wide and he soon became popular matt
nee idol. He scored another terpsichorean
success in The Dollar Princess" only
two seasons ago, and now he has made
his debut as a full-fiedged star-an the
result of his trained feet.
This important event occurred on Mon
day evening at the Knickerbocker Thea
er, when Charles Frohman presented his
first production Of the season, THE
Siren," a Viennese operetta with the
score by Leo Fall and the book by H. B.
Smith. Mr.. Brians work throughout the
entire performance was very commenda-
bic, but he was by no means so domi-
mating a figure as he was in THE Merry
Widow" OF the young stars vocal ability
little can be said. His struggles with
notes in the upper register are nothing
short of painful. Fortunately. however,
he has plenty of footwork to do. He
dances with all the ladies in the play sew
eral times and then glides gracefully
around by himself. 1t was his superb
work with Miss Julia Sanderson that
proved the hit of the performance.
Text of Piece Fine.
The play itself. from a musical stand
point, is above the average. While there
IS no special number that will attain the

ever. the most attractive part of the
performance. The costuming and scenery
are beautiful, but 1t is not necessary to
give detailed description Of the staging.
1t is sufficient to mention the name OF
the producer. ''The Siren" as a whole,
is a graceful, dainty entertainment, and
Mr.. Brian and Miss Sanderson should ex-
hibit their work to Broadway audiences
for many days to come.
During the past week Broadway has
begun 70 stretch itself and wake up for
the coming season. Besides the produc-
ton Of THE Siren" Charles Klein's
comedy, Maggie Pepper, was presented
at the Harris Theater Thursday, with
Rose Stahl in the leading role. This play
will be reviewed In these columns next
week.
Tonight the Hippodrome opened for its
sixth year with new massive produc-
ton entitled Around the World" As
has been the custom, It is slightly
more stupendous than any previous
production. The piece was invented and
built by Arthur Voegthin. writer, and
staged by Carroll Fleming, and supplied
with music by Manuel Klein. 1t deals
with party Of American travellers max
ing a tour OF the globe, and occupies the
entire evening. There are more than
seventeen great scenes, including several
magnificent ballets and the use of the
Hippodromes big tank.
More than 800 people are in the COM
pany, and 200 animals participate.
That popular comedy, Seven Days,
which had Its first production about
three years ago, opened for another run
at the Astor Theater. 'Pomander Walk,
another of last years successes, also
opened at the Wallack Theater for a
brief period.
On Monday "Get-Rich-Quick walling-
ford" at George H. Cohan's Theater,
will have its four-hundredth perform
ance, and quite a celebration has been
planned in honor of the occasion. A
souvenir pillow cover, upon which are
the fac-simile signatures Of 129 prominent
theatrical folk, will be given to all the
ladies. A few weeks later this popular
comedy will leave New York for a tour
on the road, and on September IS George
NJ. Conan will reappear on the stage IN a
new musical piece Of his own entitled

infringing the Independence Of each sue

Of national purpose, can be reached, is
shown by the general popular acceptance
Of the Monroe doctrine as a national

a formulated principle. Its successive de-
