the part OF Nellie Plat, a stenographer,
Alne McDermott, who each week
strengthens the impression she made
upon patrons of the Columbia Theater
on her first appearance as a member of
that body. In all of the roles in which
she has appeared she Is convincing and
never overacts her part, whatever it
may be.

OF the Burnit-Bates gymnasium, acts

makeup Is excellent.
word of praise is due the office-boy
makeup of J. Hammond Daley, who is
satisfying in a minor part.
John Kline is excellent as Sam Stone,
chief OF the swindfers who surround
young Burnt for the purpose of obtain
ing all the money left him by his father,
and George Darrell enacts the role of
Silas Trimmer, another precious rascal
As Smythe, son-in-law of Trimmer,
Godfrey Matthews has a rather small
part, which is well played.
Miss A!tne Pretty, as a young woman;
Stanley James. as a clerk; Carson Da-
venport. also clerk; Arthur Ritrhie.
as Chalmers, a young lawyer; Mr.. Ed
monston and Mr.. Lemat, as stockhold-
ers; Jerome Renner. as an office boy,
and John Ellis, as a valet, have minor
parts.
AS is usual with all Columbia produc-

| especially in the second act, where the
plain offices formerly occupied by the
| elder Burnt give place to the sumptu-
ously furnished office of the younger
Burnt. The contrast between the new
and the old is we'll worked out with

OF course, everybody is familiar with
the story OF the little life drama of

ASKS HELP FOR
CREW OF TITANIC
o the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Cannot something be done through
the columns of your paper to arouse
such sympathy for the surviving crew
OF the Titanic that substantial help may
he given them while they are in Wash.
!ngton? Though large sums have been
raised throughout the country for the
survivors, snd the steerage passengers
seem to be we'll looked after, the crew
has been overlooked. excepting for the
single pound that was given each as he
came from the Carpathia the evening
of arrival, and the help the Sailors
Mission here in New York has been able
to give them.
1t has been remarked that their cloth
ing was very poor, and they are very
unhappy at being detained in this coun-
try, away from their families, who are
unproyided for.
Your paper has so many times aroused
public sympathy for worthy causes OF
downtrodden humanity that 1t seem ed
best to call your attention to the pitt.
able condition of these men, especially
since a furd could easily reach those OF
the crew who are now in Washington.

gone for Roosevelt unanimously. IL

WHAT'S TO RESULT?

The Titanic investigation proceeds with expedition
and scant regard for red tape. The whole world
applauds.
But after the investigation-what?
Only last week a special commissioner appointed
by the Government fled his report after eleven
years investigation, regarding the explosion of the
boilers of the excursion steamer, City of Trenton,
while racing with another excursion steamer on the
Delaware river, August 28, 1901. Twenty-six people
were killed, and that many more manned for life.
But nothing has been done YIN the eleven years to
punish those crmnally responsible for this accident!
There has never been any hesitancy among legis-
lative bodies in this country to investigate, but how
seldom is there action afxng penalties against the
guilty There is hurrah and Iclamor today, then
new scandal or disaster becomes headliner, and
the wrongs of yesterday become ancient history,
forgotten by legislator and public
1t is to be hoped the Titanic Investigation will
prove the exception, and that reform, if not punish
ment will follow hard upon the heels of the Senate
hearings.

Colored Voters Plan

Prominent colored men in New Jersey,
Maryland, New York. Indiana, Ohio.

taking some specific action as to the
Presidential preference. with a view to
advising the colored people all over the
country as to the best course for them
to pursue in the campaign.
While nothing positive has been given
oupt, II is believed that the real pur-
pose OF this conference ls to declare in
an emphatic way for the candidacy OF
Theodore Roosevelt. The conference
probably will be held about May L. In
order that the action OF the meeting
might have some influence on the Mary.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCE.

BY combined efforts Great Britain, Germany,
France and the United States at last have succeeded
in forcing China to abandon the loan it had nego-
tiated with Belgian syndicate. China must borrow
money for its important task of reconstruction from
British, German, French and American bankers al
such terms as those four nations may dictate. Thus
do the leading civilized nations of the world aid theiI
Oriental brethren to walk in the full light of civil
izaton founded on the Golden Rule.

Three Beauty Aids
Women Should Know
(From French Beauty Monthly

(From French Beauty Monthly.
ANY woman who wants to have
lovely and beautiful hair can do so
IL she will use a dry shampoo once
week. Just put a cupful of corn
meal In a fruit jar and mix with 1t
an original package of therox;
sprinkle a little on the head and
brush out. 1t brushes out easily,
taking all dirt with it, and leaving
the hair clean, bright, wavy and full
of life. This treatment causes hair
to grow.
To avoid enlarged pores, dark
and discolored blotches, wrinkles,
shperhuous hairs and biemishes OF
complexion, stop using fancy cos
metics and apply each morning only
the simple lotion made by dissolying
an original package of mayatone in
half a pint of witch hazel. Do this
and your complexion soon will be
soft, smooth and altogether charm
ing.
