EkVX YHAT impression is the ma
w tional procession making
on your mind?" That
question l have been putting to
men in various walks of life. The
replies, grouped, may be thus sum
married:
Financiers and bankers are in
clined to be pessimistic: they do
not know where the procession may
lead to.
Business men are fairly cheer
full; trade is good, and though tar
iff uncertainty acts as a restraint,
prospects are considered tolerably
bright.
Brokers are in the doldrums.
Railroad managers are beset by
many problems-how to raise need
ed capital, how to placate labor,
how to keep costs from encroach-
ing upon dividends
Laboring classes find that prices
of necessaries have declined APP
preciably. though not enough but
they look for some measure of re-
lief from the imposition of the in
come tax upon the well-todO. from
the impending reduction of the tar
if on articles OF common use and
from the general tendency to treat
labor more considerably. There
are, however, many rebellious work
ers who lean toward extreme radi-
calism. including socialism.
The deduction to be drawn, after
hearing all tides. is that the United
states is confronted with months
of unsettlement, but that the tur-
MOL should leave the great body Of
the neonle better off than before.

"HER LITTLE HIGHNESS"
MAKES DISTINCT HIT
Reginald De Koven's Musical Piece
Produced at Boston Theater
for the First Time.
SPECIAL TO The Washington Herald.


Boston. Sept. 16.-Boston theatergoers
were treated tonight to a distinct and
delightful surprise. Her Little High
ness" the new Reginald De KOven mu-
steal piece, with book by Charming Pol
lock and RennoId Wolf, was produced
for the first time on any stage by Werba
and Luescher. at the fremont Theater.
and proved to be an instantaneous sue
cess.
Her Little Highness" is a play treat
ed operatically. rather than a conven-
tiOnal comic opera or musical comedy.
As much reliance has been placed on
the pathos and drama of the piece as
upon its comedy. The story concerns the
sixteen-year-old Queen of one of the
Balkan States, who is driven out OF her
own country by a revolution, and takes
refuge in America.
The first act takes place in the throne
room of the Queens palace, and shows
the revolution in progress. The second
act is laid in the parlOr of an inn near
New York, and the third act at Irving
ton-on-the-Hudson. Mr.. De Koven's
score is regarded as the richest and
most brilliant he has written in many
years.
Lizzie Hajos, in the title role. showed
other actress of her type since the
comic opera days Of Marie Tempest.
The production is beautiful and the per-
formance deserved the approval with
which it was greeted.

Baltimore, Md, Sept 16.-WOman suf-

hands of Maryland Democrats, who gath
cred in State convention here today. 1t
was the general impression that the
party would insert an equal suffrage
plank in its platform and former State
Senator A. p. German was the champion
selected to carry through the deal.
Women floCked to the auditorium, where
the convention was held. and pinned but
tons on the coats of delegates and dis
tributed ,itCratU-e galore. Then they
took seats in tie private boxes and
waited for the committees on resolution

After the platform had been read, it
was discovered that not a word had
been said about woman suffrage. The
fight had been carried on in the COM
mittee room, and German lost by vote

HINTS At navy CAREER
Renewed Efforts Made to Establish
Identity of Patient in Mime

WAS PICKED UP PARALYZED

The Navy Department again has been
appealed TO by the authorities of the
Re chester State Hospital, at Rochester,
MINI, TO assist IN the endeavOr to es-
taIisk the identity of the patient 1T
that institution who has lost his memory.
This man has indicated that he is the
son of an officer in the Navy and that ne
was himself in ne naval service up TO
the time of his being picked up. par
alyzed, and stripped, near Waseca, Mimi,
in June, 1907.
When shown pictures of Admiral Samp-
son, and the battleship New York, which
that officer commanded, the man becomes
quite excited, and has indicated that ne
believes he served with Sampson on that
vessel. He has indicated that he was an
officer, and that his position was on the
bridge of the vessel. His body bears
tattoOing such as is common among the
men of the navy.
Some weeks ago an operation was per-
formed on the brain of the patient, and
large cyst removed. Since then he has
improved physically and mentally. The
Navy Department has endeavored to es-
tablish his identity, but even with
most complete description of him, it has
been impossible thus far to connect him
with any name on the records.
