Four years later he entered upon theatrical management, taking control of the L'nion Square Theater in June, 172.

It seems evident that the treaty or protocol with San Domingo will only be approved by the Senate after a number cf amendments have been made. There is a general and gratifying indication among the senators to disregard partisanship in the matter and to come to a satisfactory agreement concerning it. It is generally-admitted that the situation in San Domingo is such as to demand soma euch remedy as the treaty proposes. The Senate, however, while agreeing with the President in this, is desirous of doing as little violence to our traditional policies as possible, and also of doing all that is possible to prevent an embarrassing precedent from being provided. tip Fifth avenue like the veterans they were.

For General Knro-patkin has undoubtedly been making the best fight possible with the men and means at his disposal. In both he is certainly much inferior to the Japanese. The latter are estimated to have about 73,000 more men than their opponents, but would not be surprising if their superiority was much greater.

Since the present fighting around Mukden began there has been time for them to send many thousands of reinforcements not only from Port Arthur and Korea, but even from Japan Itstlf. Their leaders realize that if they can adminisrer a great defeat to Kuropatkin the Russians will not be able to take the offensive for many months, and perhaps not this year. They are therefore no doubt being given all the men they deem necessary. Another important advantage of the Japanese is their artillery. They have brought up the siege guns from Port Arthur which have a range of eight miles, and which are said to be doing terrible execution.

The Russians have no artillery to equal these, guns, and are consequently much handicapped. Should Kuropatkin be able under the circumstances either to hold Mukden cr to retire without great loss to Tieling he will have justified his reputation for generalship. Those who maintain that he erred in not striking at the Japanese center more strongly may not be justified, for the reason that it is probable he did not have sufficient force to do so without courting certain disaster on his flanks.

as Is the way of latter-day doctors, blamed everything nn "germs." Now. I think if people would pay more attention to the heat, and less to cold and germs, there would be less pneumonia. In my opinion the sole reason for the great increase In the number of ram of pneumonia. Is the Intense heat r.ow deemed necessary in public and private buildings. Stores, public offices and houses ot amusement are nil overheated, so that one steps at once from a torrid to a frigid temperature.

If only those who fl re responsible for these conditions would have tej si.fTer. no fault could be found, but others who have brains and use them are compelled to enter these places and often for hours sit In over-heated, ili-ventilated rooms. People should get the notion nut of their heads that cold causes pneumonia. Heat is always the primary cause. Keep the temperature of your rooms at to to tl5 degrees and let In fresh air and the danger of pneumonia will be reduced to a minimum.

It Is the outcome of close proximity and closer growing relations in everything pertaining to advancement, with I the Japanese government and people, and especially with the evidences of success in war, new resources in peac-i and the general making of the new Japan, which China's most intimate and closer neighbor. China is going to school to Japan, and has the Oriental capacity to Imbibe learning and instruction in all the arts and sciences, whether of peace or war. Japan has made manifest an extraordinary capacity in learning from others. China is disposed to follow in the same line.

PHILADELPHIA now the recognized city where ballot-box stuffing has been reduced to an exact science, and this i.i on recent developments that glaring frauds were committed at tho recent election in February in some of the wards.

There is a strong array of evidence that the frauds were perpetrated by Republican election officers and division workers. This Is a new scheme to control r.r.d defraud the ballot-box. The old plan of repeating and fraudulent registration is declared to be made morn effective by the criminal use3 of election officeis. It was supposed that the climax and possible outcome of election crimes had been attained through the failure to frame an effective personal registration law, but it appears not. The corruption and bribery of (lection officers will make the crime more easy of accomplishment.

Criminal suits have already been started by the committee of seventy and it i.j believed they will show monstrous registration frauds and skillful manipulation of bogus and fake ballots by the election officers. The polling of fake ballots and the suppression of honest vote3 or their false return can be proven by overwhelming testimony. This may land another gang of official criminals in the penitentiary, there to be pardoned out or the offense wiped away by ingenious legal trickery. Put it is said the organization adepts in tho art of election crimes hr.v? so perfected their machinery that they do not fear the new proceedings or dread their outcome. Political crime at elections has become the settled rule in Philadelphia.

Instead of being branded as an enormity striking at. the fundamental principles of republican government and raakirg a farce of elections in Pennsylvania, the people have degenerated into accepting these crimes as a "good joke' In political manipulation a tpecies of "sharp practice" and, as the boast is made cf recent outrages by tho new combine, it is effective through inside manipulation, through secrecy and its cheapness. The bosses do not have to go down in their pockets for the abundant of money provided. Ws care little about the development of new political crime in Philadelphia. It was to be expected.

The crime grows by what it feeds upon. The one thing to be accomplished to guard the rights of the people is a stringent personal law in the hands of officials who will see that is enforced. In all that, the Philadelphians by Weil Pleased Audience. Thomas E. Shea last night presented his most famil'ar piece, "Dr.
