OUR FIRST YEAR
By sxrDE

A certain rich man financed our en-
terprise.
Some of us acted for the fun OF
the thing; some because they had
achieved a little reputation in col
lege for dramatic ability; some in
the hope that amateur work would
open the way to the legitimate.
The rich mans daughter designed
our costumes and did them excel
lently. Local artists sketched our
sets. Local authors got US to try
out their dramas.
Our director was a judge on the
bench by day who enjoyed directing
plays as some persons enjoy SWIM
ming. Altogether we we're a Boz
hemian bunch, or we thought we
were.
The crowd at the Little Playhouse
welcomed me, the bride, with a gay
chorus. 1t was the first time any of
them had seen me since my wedding.
"Oh, no! Did you marry him %
glance at Bart. II had an impress
sion my cards read Mr.. John Cuth-
bert Madison"
shrugged my shoulders, as much
as to say well, you see whom I'm
with"
Bart had to take the brunt of a
fierce attack from the boys:
Luck with you, per usual!"
Anything you can't pull off?
More raillery, meaning nothing.
But somehow I wished that my very
own husband bad escorted me to the
Little Playhouse. Not q month had
I been welded, but something curl
u certainly had happened to me.
Without my W man, already I had
begun to feel detached. out of place!
And for the FIRST time the affairs
of the Little Playhouse bored me!

The insistent shrieking of a motor
siren in the street below began TO
penetrate their silence. "What the
DEVILS that?"
An extravagantly long motor car
was drawing against the curb. Lord
Tybar, in a dust coat and a sleek
bowler hat of silver gray, sal in the
drivers seat. He was industrious
ly and without cessation winding the
handle of the siren. An uncommon
ly pretty woman sat beside him. She
was massed in furs. In her ears she
held the index finger of each hand,
her elbows sticking out on each side
Of her head.
At Nona's call Lord Tybar ceased
the handle and looked up with his
engaging smile; the uncommonly
pretty woman removed her fingers
from her ears and also turned up
wards her uncommonly pretty face.
As they went down Sabre asked,
who's that with him in the carr"
zone Of his friends. Staying with

The Collectorship.
Byron r. Newton Names Henry c.
Stuart for the Office.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: / notice
that q correspondent signing himself
as "Old Republican" writes THE NEW
York HERALD suggesting that Senator
Calder be appointed Collector OF the Port
of New York so that "he could build
UP a truly Republican organization.
which at present is guided by incom-
potent so-called leaders"
Doubtless your correspondent is cor
rect In his assumption that the Repub-
lican organization Is incompetently
guided; the recent election would seem
to prove that; but why pay a politician
$4,000 a year from the Federal Treas
ury to perform that service? Some
Democratic taxpayer might not feel right
about it.
Why not in common justice and fair
ness give the appointment to Henry G.
Stuart, special Deputy Collector. who
for more than twenty years has really
performed the duties of Collector of the
Port with conspicuous fairness and efii-
cheney? He is Republican but not
politician. BYRON II. NEWTON,
Former Collector of the Port.

giles continually with its sacred
stream and in the dry season its
river front palaces with their balco-
nies and lower windows raised above
the high water mark give the i'm
preston of a city built on top Of a
wall. Rajmahal, once in peril from
every flood, rests now in peace, for
in one of her capricious humors
Mother Gunga cut new channel and
left the town ten miles away from
the river bank.
So in reading the reports Of Mother
Gunga's rage the world can under
stand the danger confronting those
who may lie in the way of her wrath.
Like the Hindu's god, silva, who be-
gets to destroy, Mother Gunga deals
death and destruction just as she
gives life and power. She is hard to
fight, declares Peroo, because at one
minute she is coming at you in
wave of chocolate colored water and
the next she lifts herself bodily as a
snake does when 1t drinks in mid
summer. "Ohe! Fight, then!" he
shouts at her. Flight hard, for 1t is
thus that a woman wears herself
out" And that is the only thing left
to do, to wait until she wears herself
out in her rage.

Our Pygmy Elephants.
New York Has Owned the Only Two
Specimens Captured.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: am
much gratif1ed by your interest In tho
Geological Societys second specimen of
the pygmy African elephant, now In
London and soon to be shipped to New
York. The London Times in announcing
the presence of the animal at the London
Zoo carefully concealed tho fact that the
animal was collected expressly for the
New York Geological Society and ia
really in transit to us.
The public seems to be losing sight
of the fact that the only other specimen
of the pygmy elephant known to us and
which stood as type specimen of the
species. was purchased from Hagenbeck
by the New York Geological Society and
arrived here on July 25. 1905. This
animal died in July, 1915, having at
tained height of six feet one inch and
a weight of 1900 pounds, which was
very nearly full stature. It's tusks
reached length OF twenty-three inches
outside the lip. You will find portrait
of tho animal and an account Of 1t down
to 1914 in the second volume of the
AmerIoon Natural History, page 1875.

Detectives in Fiction.
Anna Katharine Green on Solving
Mysteries OF Crime.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your in
teresting editorial article Concerning
Certain Detectives" put this idea into
my head Why could you not invite
some of our mystery story writer's -
solve a mystery the solution OF which
you knew? Length of story and all con-
ditions to be decided by you.
1t might be interesting TO learn how
diverse the several stories might prove
to be with certain uniform material to
start with. My story 'Dr. lizard" was
based upon a crime report found in the
daily press. When the story was or
fered to my German publisher 1t was
refused because two other stories had
been offered him based upon the iden-
tical details, yet all three stories diff
fered in the method of presentation.
I agree with your editorial article In
every respect. 1t is quite a common ex-
perience for me to be invited by enter
prising editors to give an opinion on
some case before the public. With one
exception I have regularly refused to
give one. In the exception referred to
was fortunate in having my conclu-
sion corroborated by the finding of the
jury. but 1t was an unjustifiable intru-
sion on my part.

Home Missionary Work.
Conditions Calling for Church Effort
in the United States.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In New
York city there are something like
3.0O0, 900 persons who never attend
any church. In this wonderful country
there are about 100000 who do not
attend church. Is 1t not better to cast
the beam out of our own eye before we
seek to cast the mote out OF our brothers
eye?
Right here In this country we have
all the missionary work that can be
properly done. The foreigners are COM
ing to us, we do not need to go to
them.
In North Carolina there are about
t4O, 900 illiterates, American born for
several generations. In an appeal for
financial aid to develop these people
spiritually, intellectually and industri-
ally / have in my possession 4 letter
from one of the ministers, wherein he
said that they had contributed SIS to
the cause, and in the same letter he
writes with enthusiasm OF the fact that
his church had just agreed to finance a
missionary to South Africa. What bet
ter work could be done than 10 Chris
tianize America?
The churches should be open through
out the week to open forums on al. sub
jects affecting the interests OF the coun-
try, for the country and the churches
are one. The Golden Rule and a life
of applied brotherhood Is the true solu-
ton Of the problem Of the churches.

Party Tests Rejected.
The Constitution and the Laws Pro.
posed as a Substitute.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The les
son taught by the election is that the
conservative elements of all parties must
unite or surrender the government to
radicals who teach anarchical theories.
There is no war between capital and
labor. Every intelligent person knows
that both must prosper together or vice
versa yet in the whole category OF
labor leaders there is not one who ad-
mits this fact.
Their aim, promulgated by demagogic
organs and agltators. is to subordinate
capital, Wall Street, big business, all
business and transportation to the al
legged interests Of labor.
There is only one way to unite against
them. That Is to abandon the tariff as
n test of party fealty; accept General
Hancock's view that "the tariff is a local
question:" and nominate men who will
uphold the Constitution and the rulings
Of the Supreme Court

Show Up the Coal Hoarders.

THE NEW YORK HERALD congratu-
lates the Fuel Administrator of the
Ninth Judicial district on his seiz-
ure of sixty tons Of coal boarded in
the home of an affluent resident Of
Milton Point, Rye. 1t further con-
graduates the Fuel Administrator on
giving the facts and circumstances
to the public. 1t is good thing to
let the public know the authorities
are on the job of making the coal go
around; 1t is a good thing to dis
close those who deserve and get disci-
plinary attention and action at the
hands of the authorities.
The legal obligation Of citizens to
obey the law and the regulations gov
erning the distribution of the limited
coal supply is important in all in
stances. In the case Of one who has
an abundance Of financial means to
obtain coal at any price his moral
obligation not to, be grossly selfish,
not to take unfair advantage of
others who are in less fortunate cir
cumstances than he and not to be
defiant of the laws Of humanity is
of even greater importance.
The Fuel Administration will do
we'll to give out the name Of every
one that is legal and moral Of
fender in this matter of hogging the
coal supply to the wanton suffering
of the poor and to the possibly fatal
harm of the sick.

Not an International Incident.

Since JOHN FoRTEsCUE, the English
author and president Of the Royal
Historical Society, gave expression in
cne of his books to the grave .stric-
lures against American honor, as he
admits he did, Secretary of War
WEEKS was entirely right to cancel
the invitation to the distinguished
Englishman to address the West
Point cadets on Armistice Day. 1t
would have been unseemly to de-
gree for the students of a Govern
ment academy and future officers OF
the United States Army to be ad-
dressed by anybody who could de-
scribe Americans as measuring ability
by success though achieved by what
ever dishonorable means, as using
foul play in every form of compe-
tition from athletics to diplomacy"
as being determined to win "if not
by fair skill then by prearranged
trickery or violence"
But if Mr.. FoRTEscUE's published
opinion on Americans was a gratui-
tous slander of our nation and If in
the circumstances his proposed ad-
dress to American youth In the SER
vice of their country was in bad
judgment and bad taste nobody
should regard this unfortunate Incl
dent as of any international signifi-
cance. Nobody should let it serve as
an excuse for stirring up i'll feeling
among friends, and American COM
mon sense will not.
Such an awkward situation as Mr..
FoRTEscUE has put himself in by his
slanderous utterance, whether he
made it under the impulse to say
something striking or whether he
made it in a burst Of spleen, Is to
him purely personal. 1t has no more
to do with the real relations between
this nation and the British nation
and the real opinions Of the one for
the other than the bad manners Of
some American would have to do with
such relations and opinions If as a
private individual he called the King
Of England names or insulted the
British character and then ventured
to address audiences in the United
Kingdom.
But while the sober minded Ameri-
can public will not be disposed to re-
gard Mr.. FoRTEscUE as in the very
least a spokesman for the British
people or for anybody except himself,
no doubt it will be the general opin-
ion here and on the other side Of the
Atlantic as well that America will
not now be the most favorable field
for his thus unhappily advertised
lecture tour.
The most comfortable course for
the unlucky Mr.. FoRTEsCUE would be
tc book a passage home.
