"THE ROSE MAID"
Werba and Luescher's Latest Success
Returning to the Academy BaIti-
more Beginning Next Monday.

With evry minute of it's two acts
said to be as refreshing as spring
time itself, "The Rose Maid" oper-
eta, boating of a more elaborate
production than any of the Viennese
musical offerings of recent vogue,
returns to Baltimore for an engage.
ment at the Academy of Music, be-
ginning next Monday.
Since its first presentment last
Spring this pretty romance of the
gay Duke of Barchester and the little
rose girl has proved fairly irresistible
to music-loving theatregoers. Tn.
operetta has just completed an all
summer run at the Globe Theatre in
New York, feat only duplicated by
1.-The Merry Widow" several sea-
sons ago, and Werba and Luesch ar are
beginning the road tour of the COM
pany by sending the original Broad
way production and complete cast di-
rect to Baltimore from Manhattan.
'The Rose Maid" is nothing if not
original. Instead of the old fashion
ed opening chorus, it begins with a
romping dance in the ballroom of the
BaIchester house in London. The
Trivoli girls bring down the house
with their riotous fun to music throb-
bing with seductive and sensuous mo-
tives. Every scene is. played to
haunting meajures that set the audi
ence humming. Whether it be COM
edy episode or a situation in the gay
life of the hero and his fond little
Daphne, there is fitting melody to
please the ear and start each suscep-
tible toe a-tapping.
While the piece abounds in laugh
able buffoonery, this may be taken as
a concession to popular taste and can
not he said to detract from the
operatic merit of the score. "The
Rose Maid' will endure because it
has been provided with the elements
of success along legitimate lines, be-
case of its fascinating story told in
action and song and because it has so
many attractive numbers that have
been whistling favorites in Baltimore
since last spring.

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN
The Rayner-cOchrsn Debate as Heard
and Told by a Woman-Tells Of
Theodore's Vargaries.
(Communication.)

1t was with a great anticipation
of qualification that | sought to hear
the debate between two such men as
Senator lsadore Rayner ami ex-Con-
gresham w. Bourke Cochran. had
never heard the latter speak and the
last time / heard the voice of Rayner
was in his wonderful defense of Ad-
miral Schley.
The Lyric was filled beyond its
capacity and the best good humor
prevailed until Cockran's attempt
at rebuttal of Rayner's arguments.
Cockran's one aim seemed to be
to sway by oratorical effort the i'm
mense audience. "How have the
mighty fallen" 1t seems pitiful
that this man once a power in De-
mocracy should be a follower of
Theodore in his fancies and adopt
all his demagogical tricks to sway
the people to revolt against the
Constitution and the law.
When speaking of the Tariff, after
rather heated episode IF debate
and nagged by the attitude of the
audience, he said, speaking of Roose-
velt: 'He starts out with what
believe to be an impossible enter
prise by declaring that a law should
be enacted by which the benefits of
the tariff should go, instead of into
the Golfers of the big corporations,
into the pay envelopes of the working
man. In this | am frank to say that
he can never succeed" He, perhaps,
unwittingly gave utterance to the
truth, notwithstanding the ever-re-
curing assertion: eff am elected
| will do thus and so. -
Rayner's speech was delivered as
though he were talking to a jury.
Every statement he made was based
upon documentary evidence of fact,
and he appealed to the intellect and
common sense of the audience Cock
rams was an oratorical attempt to
explain how by the destructon of the
Constitution justice would be estab-
lisIed, because the people should be
the judges of law, and Theodore the
demi-god of the downtrodden. The
very applause which greeted such
wild fancies, exemplified the unreal
soning impulses of the mob-for
the call to the destruction of the
Constitution was as vigorously APP
plauded as was Rayner's earnest
appeal for it's preservation.
The debate may be summed up in
few words. Rayner was at his best,
and Cockran's sub-consciousness of
his mighty fall from his one-time
high ideals, was a fatal handicap to
his one-time wonderful personality.
His whole effort was a fight with
imaginary windmils and a begging of
questions, no logic, no proofs-only
the blind following of Thodore's vaga-
ries. G. Nj.

SETTLERS HAVE RAIL FIGHT
Must Contest With Northern Pacific
Railroad Under Lieu Land
Grant.

Spokane, Wash.-Forty-four settlers
fled in the local land Office on land In
Pen d'Oreille and Stevens counties, on
which they have lived for various
terms of years. It is expected that
many of them will be compelled to
fight contests. The Northern Pacific,
under it's lieu land grant and through
its representative, H. J. Needham OF
St. Paul, filed a blanket claim for lieu
land which comprises about seventy
quarter sections, most of which are
occupied by settlers. Mr.. Needham's
number in the line of persons desiring
to file was SS and those who preceded
him will not be compelled to start the
contests, but will have to fight any
that are started by the railroad com
pany.
Many of those who filed had been in
line before the registers door for
some days. One man, seventy-two
years old, slept IN line and awakening
registered his filing as No. 10.

While the house has been occupied
despite the ghostly noises. the occu-

driven out. they say, by ghosts.
John Nickold and his family were
the latest occupants. They we're there
considerably longer than any other
tenants, but after ignoring the strange
happenings for a time they fed and
no one else would move In.
Nickold declares that of late the
Manifestations have been of almost
nightly occurrence. Sheets would be
pulled OF the beds violently; the
lamps left burning at night would be
turned down mysteriously and then
as mysteriously would be turned up
so that the wicks would blaze.
Footsteps would be heard In the at
tic during the night; shades would be
run up. apparently by ghostly hands,
and clocks would be wound at all
hours of the night and thrown with
force to the floor.
A nurse employed by the Nickolds
remained in the house only week

impossible to keep a servant, and the
members of the family got into such

In conclusion he says: There never

distinguish the good women from the
other kind by taking note of what they
wear. Highly respected women are
actually being accosted by strange
men who. misled by their immodest
fashionable attire. take them for 9th
