Poll Company at the end Of this week
! for good,
As much as we hate to see her go: as
| much as we shall miss the rhythmic
music of her exquisitely modulated voice.
and the artistry of her acting. we must
be unselfish enough to feel glad with her.
for she is going into a broader and finer
field of work after she has taken just a
couple of weeks or so by way of draw
ing a deep breath and shaking off the
shac5les of stock.
Miss Jewel has been engaged to create
the leading role in a new play to be pro-
duced in New York shortly. The author
OF the piece told me so himself. She will
be succeeded here by Miss Jane Morgan.
who has been for some time at the head
OF various Poll companies.
While speaking Of Washington's home
of permanent stock it comes as omething
of a shock to the many friends OF Mr..
James Thatcher that he is to be trans
ferred to Mr.. Polls Baltimore house, with
Mr.. wedgewood Novel as his possible
successor here. The first rumor of this
change brought an avalanche of protest
down upon Mr.. Poll from scores OF rep
resentative business men and organiza-
IlOIls as wen as from patrons OF inc lne-
alter.
Finding its way to me during the carly
stages of my vacation was a letter from
A. H. Van Buren,, a portion of which will
interest you as much as it interests me,
which is a very great deal. for one would
have to travel a far way TO find two
players as delightful personally and pro-
fessionally as Mr.. and Mrs. Van Buren,.
The much admired leading man OF the
Columbia Players writes:
Il want to thank you for the notice of
the Six Walker benefit which appeared
in The Herald. The closing paragraph
has brought forth much fruit 1 have
received several checks and money orders
most of them anonymous.
will you kindly thank the public for
their support and contributors. and as
sure them Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walkers sp-
probation?
Our ocean trip is of. so we art going
TO Lake George to rest until October"

Chinese Boxers in 1900. Mr.. Strong has
several successes to his credit, including

The Little Father OF the Wilderness

tensive production by Klaw ErlarcNr

GERMAN FINANCES.

RAISING OF SUM BY GERMANS CONSIDERED UNPRECEDENT
 ED IN HISTORY OF WORLD.
Nearest Approach 10 the Raisnq of Such Fund Was When France Raised Money After Franco -Prus- sian Wars.

Berlin, Nov B. Correspondence of the Associated Prcss1) The misiag of $L05o,oDd000 by the German gov etnmcnt in single operation is com mented upon by the German press and by the press of a number of uu. traI countries as remarkable evidence .ot Germany financial power Dr.. Karl lielfferich. one of the directors of the Deutscbe bank. who discusses the loan in a bankers publication. points out that this is the largest financial transaction that the world has ever seen. The nearest apnr0a,a { oft was the indemnity of SLuuDUU0 GOO paid by France to Germany alter the Franco-Prlssian war; but bat sum was raised in two separate loans. and the payments oH them extended to two and a half years franca had the help of foreign countries in ra.s- ing the war indemaity. while Germany did not ask for any foreign subscu

 EIeItreuch finds that the marked success of the Gcumaa loan had three causes. First Germany has far out stripped England and France in the creation of wealth during the last few decades; secondly, Germany IS incomparably better organized. liuan, cialy and in general business may, than it's enemies; and thirdly the German people are showing a more seif-sacriiicing spirit in this war than the other countries.
