THK MODERN Tlie Don't give too much. advice. It is seldom heeded; Your friends often think that you too meddlesome. An honest friend will take kindly to what you say. Good advice will never be rejected "by an honest person.

Never talk too much, it will get you into trouble. The politicians are in the soup. Carson says that he will win. Don't be worried there is plenty of time to start the ball. Never trust a liar.

To lose faith in a trusted friend often does harm. The National press Convention will convene at Atlanta, Gav next month. Now is the time to send in your advertisements. Milton Holland thinks that people draw the color line. Col.

Carson draws it on Holland. If Holland thinks he is in it, Bob. Keys will take him out of it. It is natural for some people to make fools out of fools. You can fool some people, but you cannot fool all the people.

Flattery does ell some times, "but in cases where deception is prevalent, flattery will not succeed. The Bee is the peoples paper and true American. The whiskey cranks ought to take a rest Corbett and Fitzsimmons have decided not to fight. Why some colored lawyers will draw the color line is a mystery. Judge Kimball had to call down Holland on Monday.

When some people are in trouble they believe that the Saviour is "Mars John' There is too much jealousy among the colored attorneys. If, you want to apologize for the wrongs of the white people hold an office. C. H. J.

Taylor is a candidate for judge of Oklahomo. The Colored American, the now -organ of C. H. J. Taj'lor will announce him as a candidate for the judgeship of Oklahomo.

Nothing bashful about this model for aspiring youth. Let there be no contest to the next national convention. Milton M. Holland is conducting the canvas for L. M.

Saunders. Daniel Murray will hitch up with M. Parker. Carson will go it alone. Somebody will get left and don't you forget it.

Now is the time to enter the delegate contest. jTpu should put in your votes at once. Danilel Murray goes up two votes this week. Gleasolji is still ahead. If you dlon't think Gleason is a candidate ask your friends.

We often luive more faith in our enemies thant we do our friends. Don't be fooled on your arrival South. Is a Revival of the Classic Drama Prom-ied A Mr Jfewr Store Approaching Nuptltila or Miss Whitney Local Politics The Next Yacht Race. Special New York Letter. Ail old-timer tells me that in nothing is the degeneracy of the time more vident than in the present condition if the stage.

The remark is no doubt rite, and the natural result of age and onservatism. The stage is always de-renerate, if one listen to old-timers. know that Shakespeare considered i degenerate in his day. However, one disposed to listen respectfully to Helen Modjeska, Countess of who Is the latest champion of -ho legitimate drama against the mod-rn tendency to secure originality at uiy of taste and morals. Are we to have a revival of Shakes-voare and the classic drama? There ire straws pointing that way.

It is a atural reaction. Madame Modjeska is the opinion that we will not have a revival of the classic drama in this country until we have an endowed theatre. This seems to me nonsenst The revival will come by natural means. The public taste is always subject to reaction. Edwin Booth played ilamlet one hundred successive nights in New York.

No such presentation of Shakespeare's most intellectual play was ever made in a subsidized theatre Whitney and Miss Dorothy Whitney who must now be nearly ten years old Socially the event will be of the very highest interest. The local political campaign is proceeding with various accompaniments suggestive of opera bouffe. One cannot but sympathize with Mayor Strong and Police Commissioner Roosevelt in theii present political isolation. Everybody praises their honesty, but few want their political' company. The truth is that the many thousands of small deal- 50ff FIRMED, Staking of the Ship Kaag Transport Pair I Shanghai, Oct.

Details of the losi of the transport ship Kung Pal and, the drowning of hundreds of those on' board have just been received here. On October 14, when the steamer was' about twenty miles from Kinchow, an' explosion occurred in the powder maga-' zine, setting flre to the ship. The crew worked with all the energy they possessed in their endeavors to extinguish' the flames. Half an hour after the magazine exploded there was a second explosion in the boiler room, which' shattered the boilers of the ship to atoms. The captain and the first offi-j cer were wounded by the second ex-, plosion, and were laid in a boat to be taken ashore.

Before the boat eouldSbe lowered the soldiers on the ship made a rush for it, and so many of them crowded in that the davits gave way and all in it were drowned. There were 700 persons on board, comprising the officers, orew and the soldiers, and 500 of them perished. The survivors clung to the stern of the ship for seventeen hours in a heavy sea before boats reached them from the shore which iinally landed them. THIS WEEK'S HEWS.

in Europe. The truth of the matter is, I think, JIme. Helen Mod jest a. that the tragic muse depends not upon subsidies but upon histronic genius. Give us the successors of Garrick, Kean, Booth, Mrs.

Kendal and Charlotte Cushman, and there will be no trouble in interesting the public in Shakespearean and classical representations. The time is ripe for tho appearance of a really great tragic English actor or actress not a foreign importation in whom the fires of genius struggle vainly with the unconquerable Anglo-Saxon tongue. The trouble with the classical drama at present is that its representation has recently been confined mostly to the hands and tongues of foreigners, who, spite of the most worthy efforts, do not really master English pronunciation. Mme. Jan-auschek and Mme.

Modjeska are instances in point. Nobody denies the talent and worthy ambition of these ladies, but really the English language has heights and depths that no foreign-born artiste ever really masters. It is Idle to decry the stage while genius in the classical drama is so sadly lacking. The public will readily accept the best in the drama when the best is acceptably presented. Meantime, the craving for amusement will continue, and the purveyors of farce and spectacular nonsense will have their day, as they have always had it.

Among the big new stores thAt will mark the coming development of our local trade is that of Siegel, Cooper now being erected on Sixth avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. The immensity of this new proposed structure, now in its foundation stage, excites general curiosity. It will occupy an area of 184 by 460 feet, eadily the largest store space in New Fork. The building, which has been designed by De Demos Cordes, will be six stories high in the main and seven stories in part, surmounted by a tower 250 feet high. It will be strictly fireproof in construction, with exterior of iron, cut stone, glass and white brick, ornamented by polished cut stone applied in profusion.

The roof will be rendered especially attractive. The building will be completed by September 1 of next year. Of the Sixth avenue front, 125 feet of ground have been secured on a long-term lease, and the balance, 340 by 184 feet, is owned by Siegel, Cooper Co. The value of the entire ground approximates $3,000,000, and the building will cost $1,750,000, the total representing the largest investment made by any one mercantile firm in this city. Following the approaching nuptials of Miss Consuleo Vanderbilt and the Duke Miss Pauline Whitney, ers, hucksters, peddlers and citizens of peripatetic business, who suffered through the vigor of moral reform warfare this summer, are cutting rather a large figure in the present campaign.

The man who has lost his bread and butter through Mr. Roosevelt's honest reform efforts is not in a very happj frame of mind to listen to the reform slogan this year. Many millions of dollars went out of the city this summer for beer and other summer refreshments dispensed freely in our neighbor cities on the Sabbath, and nearly every branch of local trade felt the loss se verely. The "butcher, baker and candlestick maker" are now all conscious that they are the owners of votes, and that is the reason' that on the question of "local option" all parties and factions in the city are so unanimous this year. The formal acceptance by the New York Yacht Club of the challenge of Mr.

Charles Day Rose, of London, for the America cup, insures a contest for next year. The curiosity of yachtsmen is now exercised as to whether there Will be a new yacht built to contend with the Defender for the honor of upholding American supremacy on blue water. Many think that Mr. George Gould will build a yacht to match against the Defender. If so, an inter esting series of trial races will occur.

A new yacht by either the Herreshoffs or Edward Nixon, in the hands of Mr. Willard; might prove a dangerous rival to the Defender. Most yachtsmen, however, regard the chances of defeating Defender as rather slim. A good yacht improves in speed for two or three years, and the Defender is likely to be much faster next season than she was this. There is a good prospect that the Defender and Valkyrie III.

may meet again next spring: Lord Dunraven seems to be really of the opinion that his yacht did not have a fair chance, and that he can beat Defender if given an unobstructed course. It is to be hoped that he will be given the chance to prove the real quality of his yacht. He is quite disposed now to cultivate amicable relations with our yachtsmen, and, in the interest of true sport, a course should be arranged for him on some unfrequented part of our coast, if such exists, where even a catboat could not interfere, and there let him have it out with Defender. There is no doubt here as to which yacht will win if Defender and Valkyrie III. meet again.

MILTON S. MAYHEW. SHE 0H0SE DEATH. brother of Five Children Bid Poverty Good-By. New York, Oct.

The prospective son-in-law of ex-Secretary Whitney is now the guest honor at the Whitney residence in -'ifth avenue. Three years ago in thi? -ame house in Fifth avenue the late Its. William C. Whitney gave a grand vening reception, so that her daughter hould receive her first introduction to iciety from her own mother. The ouse has remained closed almost con-nuously since then.

The 'agets will bring from Europe many ne bridal gifts in the line of pearls nd family jewels from relatives, as ell as a magnificent string of opals, as a bracelet, from Lady Beresford! le stepmother of the Duke of Marl-orough. The late Mrs.

William C. hitney had one of the finest collec-ons of gems of all the wives, including a magnificent of sapphires and diamonds, of hich she was very fond. These will all go to her daughters, Miss Pauline The Hotel Housekeeper. Whoever has happened in at his hotel at 4 o'clock in the morning has been sure to notice that the lobbies are in possession of the scrubwoman, with their palls and mops, their scrubbing brushes, and their surrounding pools of slop. He may have seen a neat and ladylike woman, dressed as well as any guest, standing on the marble stairs, as if to command the scene, or flitting out of sight That is the housekeeper a personage of great importance in a big hotel, and one whom the women boarders make it a point to get acquainted with, but whom the men in the rooms do not know or meet or very often see.

There was a panic in one of the seaside "hotels last summer over an alarm of fire. Then the eruests saw the housekeeper in all her might, and must have marvelled at it. At the first scream the negro waiters rushed for their baggage and began throwing it out of their windows and down the servants' stairs. The chambermaids were all either paralyzed with fear or noisy with alarm. Some ran about terrifying the guests with warnings, and some s.tood still and shrieked.

Then the housekeeper appeared. She was calm. She ordered the negroes to bring their trunks back, she instantly discharged the girls whom she caught spreading the panic, and the worst screamer of the lot she sent to her bedroom with a threat of arrest if she made another sound. In two minutes the panic ceased, for she assured all the guests that the danger was past and the fire was out. She was a heroine as long as those people stayed who had witnessed her command of the situation.

To her friends she said afterward that when she got things quieted down she went to the scene of the fire to learn the truth about it, for when she said it was out she knew no more about it than a child unborn. "All I knew was," she said, "that there was nothing to be gained by a panic." The housekeeper is in charge of the entire living part of a hotel and of the female help, and when she is a good disciplinarian and has a cool head on her shoulders she is worth the good salary that she is sure to receive.
