Stage Morals on the Stage.
One of the sensations among stag©
feople last winter was the appearance
of a book purporting to be from the
pen of a member of the profession and
an expose of the seamy side of life be-
hind the footlights. Its picture was
vehemently attacked by persons whose
means of knowing the truth were at
least as good as those of the author,
and the public was asked to suspend
judgment, especially to refrain from
blaming upon the mass the faults and
follies of the few. Singularly enough,
one of the strongest plays of the sea-
son, “The Chorus Lady,” is a picture of
the lives of stage people and the temp-
tations peculiar to the stage, and the
author of the expose in question could
not have asked for a better illustration
of stage morals than Is found in this
play, which created a reputation for
the playwright yvho wrote it and for
the actress who enacted the role of
heroine.
In “The Chorus Lady” figure a train-
er of race horses, two partners in a
racing stable, three characters each of
whom would claim to be “a chorus la-
dy” and a bunch of chorus ladies not
individualized. Of the three chorus
ladies who have parts in the piece one
is purposely shown to be “a coarse
creature bedecked in jewelry and
dressed in garments which no economy
could have wrung from her weekly
salary,” a sum candidly set down at
$20 a week. Another character is a
young girl who is only saved from
following the footsteps of her bejew-
eled stage fellow by the persistent
watchfulness and heroic sacrifice of an
elder sister, whose role gives the piece
whatever claim it has to merit and
also the name. The be jeweled creature
bets on the races, and her understudy
not only bets, but embezzles the wagers
and winnings which the other chorus
girls intrust to her care.
The villain of the piece, who tries to
wreck the career of the stage novice,
Is represented as being the natural so-
cial equal and companion of bis in-
tended victim. With the single ex-
ception of the saving grace supplied
by the heroine and her betrothed, the at
mosphere of the piece is wholly blaqk,
and the heroine takes leave of the
stage, she says, to marry and “set-
tle down like a couple of Reubens—us
and the cows.” Then here is a play,
written by a theatrical man, made at-
tractive by as good professional talent
as can be found and staged by a repu-
table manager ter whom the honor of
the profession should be dear and all
eager to give currency to what some of
their associates must consider a libel
on stage people, simply because there
is money in it. Comment would be
superfluous.
The latest craze in Great Britain
is the writing and the completion of
“limericks.” To the uninitiated be it
known that the “limerick” is a hu-
morous piece of verse consisting of
five lines, of which the first, second
and fifth rhyme with one another, and
the third and fourth also rhyme. In
most cases the editors of the British
weeklies supply the entire poem save
the last line and ask their readers to
indite fitting conclusions to the verses.
An entrance fee is charged, and the
Whole of the money received is divid-
ed among a stated number of prize
.winners wTho send in the best endings
to the verses. The British attorney
general has decided that the “limer-
ick” contests are not prohibited by
the antilottery act, and the hitherto
staid and respectable Briton, his “sis-
ters and his cousins and his aunts” are
busily trying to break into the ranks
of successful writers of humorous
poetry.
New York Is the greatest cigarmak-
ing state in the Union, its product more
than equaling in value that of its ri-
vals, Pennsylvania and Florida. In spite
of the vogue of Havana labels and the
superstition that our only desirable ci-
gars come from the West Indies, the
Importations from that quarter are on-
ly a drop in the bucket compared with
the vast domestic output, which in the
year 1904 reached a value of $214,000,-
000. As a matter of fact, New York
state turns out more than fifteen tim&3
as big a supply of cigars as the whole
country imports from Cuba.
What’s the matter with the French
people, heretofore known to the world
as lovers of art? Several times recent-
ly valuable and beautiful paintings in
the Louvre have been slashed by per-
sons who have alleged as their excuse
poverty and the necessity of drawing
attention to themselves. It would
seem that even the lowest of Parisians
would have love for the things that
have made their city famous.
Mushrooms and Toadstools.
So many people now eat mushrooms
where a few years ago the delicacy
was known to and enjoyed by but a
comparatively small number that any
information concerning them is worthy
of circulation. An erudite member of
the editorial staff of tbe New York
Times seems to be well posted on the
subject. He says that perhaps there
would be fewer poisonings from the
eating of what are called “toadstools”
if people both could and would get it
through, or, rather, into, their heads
that there are no such things as toad-
stools, at least in the sense in which
the word is commonly used.
The popular impression amounting to
a conviction is that there are two kinds
of fungi, one that is edible and one
that is poisonous, and that when the
former have been called mushrooms
and the latter toadstools a sufficient
distinction has been made. Of course
Words can be so employed, and the
name of a thing certainly is the name
by which it is known, but the trouble
Is that in this case the distinction does
not distinguish, that its failure to do so
makes it extremely dangerous and, not
least Important, that it causes great
rage among the scientific folk and not
much less among the folk who only
have a scientific turn of mind.
The danger arises from the fact that
too often the person who has been told
that a certain fungus is a toadstool and
therefore not to be eaten assumes that
if he avoids that particular variety in
the future he is safe. Had he been
told that it was one of the many poi-
sonous varieties of mushrooms he would
not only have acquired a bit of accu-
rate information, with incidental real-
ization of what an immense number of
varieties of mushrooms there are, but
he would have been put on his guard
against giving undue .weight to having
learned to recognize one variety that
should be avoided.
The old rule—if you eat it and live it
is a mushroom; if you eat it and die it
is a toadstool—has an element of truth
In it, though there are certain signs by
which an unknown and uneaten mush
room can be accused of being poison-
ous without much danger of doing It
an injustice. Perhaps as good a way
as any to be safe with mushrooms is
to let them all alone. Even the best of
them is "of no measurable value as food
and is innocuous only when gathered
at just the right time and promptly
prepared -in just the right way.__As for
the gustatory merits of the mushroom,
they are chiefly the products of sug-
gestion and imagination.
New Rustless Iron.
The American public will soon have
a chance to test upon a proper scale
the new English process for making
iron and steel “rust proof.” Consul
Halstead writes from Birmingham that
an American firm will place steel and
iron manufactures which have been
"sheradized” by the new process upon
the market here. He adds:
It Is claimed for this process that it
coats iron and steel with zinc as well as
or better than ordinary wet galvanizing
and that the iron and steel thus coated
can he brilliantly polished. In the process
zinc dust is placed In a cylinder which
has been brought to a temperature below
the melting point of zinc. The articles it
is desired to “sheradize” are put into the
cylinder, which is then revolved. The
zinc in this process is not actually melted,
but forms an alloy through the surface of
the articles absorbing the zinc, and then a
coating covering the whole visible surface
is deposited to any desirable thickness.
It had been found that the use of the
wet galvanizing process upon articles on
which threads are cut made it necessary
afterward to recut the threads. This, It
Is claimed, is obviated in the new process,
thus avoiding both the additional work of
recutting the threads and, also, making
the threads themselves rust proof. An-
other advantage claimed is that because
articles are not heated to a high tempera-
ture the temper of the steel is little af-
fected, while Its tensile strength and that
of Iron remains the same. The owners
of the process assert that it will obviate
the necessity of using brass In the manu-
facture of many articles that may rust.
Aluminium and antimony can he
substituted, it is said, for zinc with
success, while when copper ancf its al-
loys are subjected to this process their
surface is so hardened as to even turn
the edge of a steel tool. A cheap and
widely serviceable rustless metal will
be welcomed in nearly every branch of
American industry.

can newspapers of the mother country,
which were so quick to denounce us
for not punishing San Francisco for
the similar disturbances in that city,
may come to see that there are two
sides to the question after all.
There is a general impression among
Americans that our countrymen so-
journing or traveling in Japan are free
to come and do as they please. That
such an impression is erroneous is
pointed out by the Washington Herald,
which declares that the proper way to
settle the Japanese question is to grant
to Japanese immigrants, of whatever
class, the treatment accorded to Amer-
ican immigrants in Japan.
“If we should model our treatment
of the Japanese in America on the
treatment of Americans in Japan we
should not allow Japanese scholars to
attend our schools' at all,” says the
Herald. “We should prohibit Japa-
nese from owning real estate in this
country; we should forbid them pur-
chasing certain securities. We should
not allow them to leave certain of our
ports without permits, and we should
make it difficult for these permits to
be granted. If we charged 30 cents
admission to our theaters Ave should
raise the price on Japanese desiring to
attend to $1, and the same scale of ad-
vance would be carried out In oar ho-
tels and in our shops. In short, an
examination of Japan’s treatment of
Americans resident in their country
will show that restrictions are placed
on our countrymen that are in distinct
violation of treaty obligations.”
If the United States should adopt
this method of dealing with the Japa-
nese difficulty and if Great Britain
should follow our example, in British
Columbia and elsewhere—for the Japa-
nese question is a burning one in South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
other countries under the union jack—
it would be interesting to note whether
the mikado’s government would pro-
test at the court of St. James with the
same vehemence that would be exhib-
ited at Washington.
The alliance existing between Great
Britain and Japan was not consum-
mated with a view to such contin-
gencies. But could Ji'Jai afford to im-
peril its claims to standards of justice
equal to those of western nations by
discriminating between its ally and
America?

Negro Episcopalians.
At its coming triennial convention,
to be held in Richmond, Va., the
Protestant Episcopal church will, it is
expected, find itself face to face with
a dilemma in the shape of an outcrop-
ping of the race question.
In recent years there has been a
great Influx of southern negroes into
the church, notably in Texas. The
colored members of the denomination,
relying on their numerical strength,
are asking the appointment of bishops
of their oavu race. Their demand will
be bitterly and strenuously opposed by
their white church brethren. The
Protestant Episcopal bishops are ap-
pointed to dioceses and have super-
vision of all the churches within such
territorial limits. Colored bishops, if
appointed, would accordingly have
spiritual charge of churches with white
membership, and it is virtually cer-
tain that southern white Episcopalians
would never submit to such ecclesias-
tical domination.
The problem is a delicate one, and
its solution is awaited with Interest by
all members of the church.

Years ago Mr. Roosevelt wrote the
history of “The Winning of the West.”
The west of which he wrote lies east
of the Mississippi. The middle west,
through which that splendid stream
flows as the main artery of water com-
merce, is now far east from the great-
er west which touches the Pacific.
Within a hundred years the United
States has added several wests to its
domain. The winning of these wests,
one after the other, should make splen-
did serial chapters in the epic of Amer-
ican achievement.
The middle west, through which Mr.
Roosevelt’s route lies, is the great ag-
ricultural’ domain of the country. The
Mississippi valley extends from Penn-
sylvania to Colorado. It is the' richest
farming region In the world. The sys-
tem of rivers which waters this mag-
nificent area, flowing into the parent
stream and thenee Jo the gulf, is to be
studied by the inland Avaterways com-
mission with reference to its possibili-
ties for transportation purposes. Of
late years the whistle of the steamboat
has been heard less and less on these
rivers, the railroads having monopoliz-
ed the traffic. There is a growing be-
lief that-with improvement in the wa-
terways so that navigation may be re-
sumed the excessive railroad freight
rates obtaining in many sections will
be reduced to meet the competition of
the steamboats.
We have many fine rivers lying idle,
hung up on the fence to dry out, so to
speak. The Missouri river, which for
many years was the artery of a great
commerce, now is practically abandon-
ed. Even the Mississippi’s steamboat
trips are as few and far between as
angels’ visits. A few forlorn vessels
ply at intervals along the Tennessee
and the Cumberland and also along the
Illinois, but for the most part river
traffic on the Mississippi’s tributaries
is a thing of the past.
The revival of this traffic is a mat-
ter which has engaged the efforts of a
number of earnest persons who hold
that it is a sheer waste of opportuni-
ties and a criminal neglect of resources
to permit those streams to flow to the
sea unvexed by the paddle w’heel of
the craft which Robert Fulton devised
just a hundred years ago. The presi-
dent’s voyage with the watei’Avays
commission may be counted upon to
call wide attention to the potentialities
of these rivers as regulators of freight
rates.
Recently a head-on collision between
an express bound from Bordeaux for
Paris and a freight train resulted in
the death of ten and the injury of
twenty-five persons. The affair indi-
cates that there may be some doubt
about the accuracy of the statement
that most things are done better in
France than elsewhere, but there is
none regarding the volume of Ameri-
can travel in that country, as may be
Inferred from the fact that it was
promptly given out that no American
tourists were on the wrecked train.
The days have come when a man
can pass a soda fountain without de-
siring to hear the cold beverage sizz
into a glass intended for himself. But
the young woman’s taste for “ice cold
soda” is not affected by the approach
of winter. It survives the killing
frosts and turns up unabated In the
following spring. Perhaps the soda
fountain is what the poet dreamed of
when he pictured to himself the “foun-
tain of perpetual youth.”

A correspondent of one of the New
York evening papers suggests that the
teaching of table manners in the pub-
lic schools would greatly benefit the
coming generation. One can almost
hear the schoolma’am say, “Tommy
Jones, show the class how to balance
three peas on your fork,” or “Willie
Robinson, illustrate the proper method
of eating asparagus.” There is no
doubt, howTever, that there is much
room for improvement in the table
manners of many American children,
especially those of foreign parentage,
who crowd the schools of New York
and other large cities. The suggestion
is worth consideration despite the ob
vlous argument that such matters are
best left in the hands of parents.
A Purely Social Problem.
Who shall guide the stream of immi
^ration coming to America and dis-
tribute it for the best interests of all
and how the distribution shall be ac-
complished are questions now to the
fore. Recently a cabin passenger on a
steamer from Europe made a speech to
several hundred immigrants on board,
essaying to gave them advice as to
where to go after they landed. Twen-
ty years ago he was a steerage pas-
senger himself, as ignorant and be-
wildered in the face of the new world
as any of his hearers. He told them
to shun cities and head for the “farm
lands of the middle west.”
For those who were .ready for it the
advice of the man who had “been there
himself” was good. But one can im-
agine that a few scores or hundreds of
his hearers would have been glad for
a heart to heart talk and a little more
detail. He spoke just as a capitalist
interested in cheap labor in his section
might speak, and a politician wishing
to boom the voting population of his
state would have said amen to that.
As factors, then, in guiding distribu-
tion the capitalists and politicians have
their own ends to serve, and these ends
are not always for the good of the im-
migrant or for the community which is
to receive him. The capitalist will not
care what the immigrant does with his
money after he gets it or what manner
of life he takes up. The same with the
politician. With one a boom in immi-
gration means a little more muscle,
with the other a few more votes.
But the society to be affected by the
influx of a foreign element is vitally
interested in what the newcomers do
with their money and how they de-
mean themselves. Thus the question
becomes one in which tbe agents of a
clean civilization and a healthy civic
progress are vitally interested. Tbe
minister, the tea-cher, the editor and ev-
ery father and mother of growing fam-
ilies has a duty to perform before an
ignorant and misinformed contingent
swoops down upon the community. A
writer in the current Atlantic under-
takes to sketch roughly three classes
of immigrants now seeking America.
The most common class is “those Avho
do not intend to work.” Next largest
is the class “who look for high wages
and easy work,” and the smallest class
comprises those who have been driven
to this haven by poverty or oppression
and “will do any work” that comes to
hand. In the first class this writer
cites the case of two girls who came
over expecting to find gold in the
streets. They positively refused to
work, although they were nearly starv-
ing.
No community not smitten with the
census making craze would want to re-
cruit its numbers from the first tAVO
classes named above. Their kind are
too numerous in America already. And
the only way by which a community
can recruit from the third class is for
the lovers of good order and decent
citizenship to Intercept them some-
where on their blind pilgrimage and
guide them where they are wanted and
where they will find helping hands.
In the London Academy, a journal
which is noted for its lack of love of
things American, a writer speaks of
“the horrible body of death, decay and
wickedness which is called the United
States of America.” Dear me! We
knew we were getting to be pretty
bad, but, as Artemus Ward used to
say, “this is 2, 2 mutch.” Perhaps if the
writer, who says many other hard things
about America, were to come oATer and
take another good, square look at us
he might find that things are not so
had after all. He ought to remember
that despite our recent enormous im-
migration most of our institutions as
well as our language are based on
those of “Mother England.”

The Path of the Oregon.
The voyage of the battleship Oregon
from San Francisco to Cuba in 1898
was a record making event. A naval
Avar was on. The Oregon was needed,
and she got around on time without a
mishap, achieving what no other great
warship had ever undertaken, At that
time the Oregon was perhaps the most
poAverful warship in the world.
Among the sixteen battleships which
it is proposed to send over the track of
the Oregon, or from New York to San
Francisco, there is none but is the su-
perior ' of the Oregon in speed and
strength when at her best. They may
all be depended upon to make the trip,
and a test of endurance is not an ele-
ment of the interest that Avill be taken
in the feat of the great.armada. The
voyage by way of the strait of Magel-
lan will reveal#the conditions of coal-
ing stations, keep the fleet longest in
American waters and in touch with
home and display to our fellow repub-
licans in pan-America the strong arm
of the Monroe doctrine. The event
will surely have interest to the whole
world as a naval performance, let its
political significance be what it may.

few Americans will be able to spare

have found it very handy. The troops
who are fighting the Arabs in Morocco
are in direct and immediate communi-

The Publisher’s
Claims Sustained
United States Court of Claims
The Publishers of Webster’s International
Dictionary allege that it ‘11 is, in fact, the popu-
lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every
detail, and vastly enriched in every part, Avith
the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger
and severer requirements of another genera-
tion,”
We are of the opinion that this allegation
most clearly and accurately describes the
work that nas been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly pe-
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements pf a
generation which demands more of popular
philological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
It is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of
the highest authority in accuracy pf defini-
tion ; and that in the future as iri the past it
will be tbe source of constant reference.
