Frank Forthy It would ba manifestly unfair to Judge this new musical melange by the perform ance given of It laat night, slaca several of the principals were out of the cast through temporary Illness and the leading prima donna so hoarse from the effects of a aevere cold that she was unable to sing a note, being compelled to merely walk through her part, spesklng the lines which should have been sung. The performance waa, however, far from unsatisfactory and tho fairly large audience which saw it waa seemingly better pleased than ona might expect under the clrcumstsncea. The piece is a cross bstween comic opera, musical comedy and vaudeville, and were it not tor the fact that the theater program defines it as "the latest vaudeville" It would be rather difficult to correctly classify it. Tha first act ta comic opera pure am) simple, tha first half of the second act straight fane eomedy and the latter half of it atrictly vaudeville. The music Is rather after tha made-to-order-whlle-you-walt style, though there are a number of tuneful and catchy Interpolations. The comedy Is especially good and scintillates with humor of such an infectious nature aa to keep aa audience laughing heartily while it lasts, which Is through almost the entire second act. The musical gems of tha pieces ara "The Mad agascar Maid," which waa poorly aung by a gentleman evidently temporarily elevated from tha chorus to the position of a soloist, "Sons of the Hill and Plain," aung with splendid effect by William Riley Hatch. "Lady Champagne," by Mlaa White and chorus, and "Cupid Might Have Been a Little Coon," by Misi Whits, Mr. Carle, Misa Paul and chorus. i Tha company Is a splendid one, allof tha leading parts being In the hands of com petent people. Richard Carta, a comedian gifted with a rare style of humor, sustains tha principal portion of the comedy of the place In auch a manner aa doubtless won for him a place In the remembrance of tha greater portion of tbosa who composed last night's audience. Knox Wilson, 'his concertina, aaxaphone and Bavarian dialect helped in no small degree to make the piece entertaining. William Riley Hatch, a popular local favorite, has a rather small part, but makes it stand out prominently. Agnes Paul has a good soprano voice and la decidedly pretty and vivacious. Joele In tropldl. "a maiden of forty and not ashamed of It," looks tha part and furnishes a large portion of tha comedy of tha piece as Miss Fuller-Prunes. Tba scenlo environment of tha ptaca la wall looked after, the hotel scene of tha aecond act being especially praiseworthy.

NEW 'FRISCO ROUTE MAY HAVE BEARING Oas Railroader ava Roek Island Wants to Be Free to Make Low Rates ta Introduce Its Kew Line. Official announcement of the withdrawal from tha Western Tassenger a-soc atlon of the Chlcsgo, Rock Island Pacific rail way waa received yesterday at railroad headquarters hi Omaha. This, supple mented by the statement that the Missouri Pacific has also withdrawn, and that the Illinois Clntral has determined to do so, was ' the chief topic of discussion and conjecture along railroad row all day. Tin mooted queatton is whether this actl'.n on the part of three such Important roads will cause tho association to be dl con tlnued. That tta efficiency will be prac tically annulled Is conceded by almost all railroad men, but Its disruption is con sidered another matter. Reproductions of the letter of General Parsenger Agent Sebastian ct the Rock Island to President MacLeod of tba West ern Tasenger association were sent the railroads. He stated thai the road would remain a member of the clergy and mileage bureaua, dropping out from all else con nected with the association. The with drawal dates from April It. The executive committee of the Western Passenger association met In Chicago yes terday to consider the changed status and to counteract the effect of the withdrawals If possible. It Is the Intention to make a strong effort to prevent the dissolution of the organisation. Involvea El Psso line. Though the most common opinion 1 that the Rock Island has taken this action purely from tha reasons announced, another explanation was vouchsafed by a prominent passenger man here. Said he: "The "Rock Island may say that It has cut loose only because the courts are after the associations, and that it does not Intend any .whirlwind rate movements, but I do not believe it. This road has Just opened tip Its new Una to El Taso, thus securing a novel route to- tha Pacific coast. It must get this route before the eye of the traveling public. That is no easy matter when there is so much competition as on that journey from Chicago to San Fran cisco. The only way they can really do it la to do something phenomenal in rates. The road does not care how much money it spends or loses in this way, for the route must be made prominent, and it will pay in the end tc do this at a big coat now. "But as a member of the association the Rock Island cannot inaugurate any individ ual movements of this kind, for it must alwaya give notice to the association. Alone it is unfettered and can do aa it will. This Is plausible, for It Is a common thing for railroads to Inaugurate new routes In that way. I remember when the Chicago, Milwaukee sV St. Paul line first reached Council Bluffs It gave agents a commission of J5 to $8 on each ticket sold, so it lost money on every passenger, but Just the same the agents strained every nerve to sell tickets over tha new line and get that big commission, and thus it became well known In a short time." Passenger Repreaentatlve Rutherford of tha Rock Island does not coincide with this view. He thinks no cutting of rates any where It contemplated, "We will doubt less withdraw ftom tha local association, as well." said he. "but I do not Intend to cut any rates around here." Oraanlsatloa Work Exntraernted. . Another railroader takes the view that tha purposes of the association ara exag gerated by the men who talk of rata troubles. "This organization is really not one for tha settlement of rates, anyway," said he. "It Is practically for tha sole purpoee ' of disseminating Information. Each road muat know what the other is do ing, and how else can we learn? This as sociation is simply an Information bureau. Every road sends apnouncements of Its in tentions to the association, which distrib utes tha news around to the other twenty one roads. Rates ara not Interfered with. It Is aa easy matter for any road to put In any rate It wishes. There ara no penalties. "However, I admit that If three or four roada as big as the Rock Island withdraw there will ba no association left. You sea tha expenses of maintaining it are rather high, and wa need them all In." Ona more version was beard. "The asso ciation la a dead letter, anyhow," said this man. "It has been such for some time. Tha roads go ahead and make the rates without It whenever they choose. There is no virility In an organization that has no rules to be Infringed." Frelajht Shipments Fall Off. "All this talk about the immaculate man ner In which freight rates have been held to the scheduled mark around Omaha for months psst sounds well,'" said a promi nent freight agent of Omaha, "but there are clrcumstaacea which make theses state ments look peculiar when viewed In their light. 'Tor instance, today freight business Is very dull, and it haa been for some time past. The falling off began about thirty days ago and was fully 25 per cent. People are not shipping anything that they can help. Take grain. Today all the elevators hare ara full of stored grain. Blocked heavier than they have been for a long time. Merchandise shipments, too, are dull. They ara holding it back. "Now why? Simply because the rates Just now are up to the mark and the ship pers are waiting ttll they can get the old low prices again. Tbey were get t log them a while ago and do not care to ahlp any wore than necessary till tbey csn secure the former rebatea. You cannot tell me that -the Interstate commerce commission work Is not having a big effect on the freight business around herl, for I know better. All the roada are feeling it."

The beet of the birds had been saved for the Grand American and the great number of hard flyers released today ruined the chsnces of many of the celebrities.

Lovers of romance will find In "Monsieur Martin,'' by Wymond Carey, an exceedingly Interesting story. It Is a stirring tale of the opening years of the great Swedish war. The acene of the story Is laid tor the most part in the city of Dresden, tba hotbed of tha plot and counterplot, whither a young English tutor, Monsieur Martin, has been sent on a perilous mission. As befits the time, the plot moves rspidly, and the pages are filled with intrigue, adven ture and the lcrve of a woman who gave her love without the asking. Monsieur Martin, whose greatest desire was to win her love, believing "that no man Is worthy to ask for a woman's heart; that ran only come as a free gift from herself." Cer tain historical personages figure in the book, and the story presents a dramatic picture of the troublous reign of Chsrlcs XII of Sweden, "the Madman of tht North." Published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. "Dorothy South." an interesting lovs story laid in Virginia, near Richmond, Just before the war of 1861. by George Cary Egrlcston, author of "A Carolina Cavalier," has been published this week by the Lathrop Publishing company of Bos ton. The story opens with the arrival at the fine estate of Wyanoke of Its new heir, a young physician. Dr. Arthur Brent, Vir ginia born, but north snd foreign bred. At Wyanoke he finds Aunt Polly, a distant relative, and Dorothy South, a girl of 16, left as an orphan In Aunt Polly's care. And In the neighboring society he also meets 'Ed mania Bannister. From the be ginning of the story there rests a mystery over Dorothy. Her father had left her future bound by peculiar Injunctions. Ar thur, at Dorothy's request, becomes her guardian, and then he gives her tba .hanec to see the world. He sends her away to travel with Edmonia. On the voyage to Europe, Dorothy meets a woman, who, strange to say, la her mother. She tells a most wonderful story, and the mystery which has surrounded her entire life Is explained. Dorothy hastens home to Vir ginia Just as the war begins. She meets Dr. Arthur first with girlish Impulsiveness and then with reserve, which mystifies and pains him exceedingly; but In the familiar acenes of Wyanoke the romance ends, and they are happy, very happy, as you would have them. Russian literature, which for half a cen tiirv has abounded in. happy surprises, haa again brought to us an interesting work entitled "Twenty-Six and One," by Maxine Gorby, a writer of short stories. The book contains three of his best stories. Gorby's appearance In the world of litera ture dates from 1893. The largest part or hla life has been spent In the society of tramps, and as Gorby himself waa a tramp, It haa been reserved for him to write the life of vagrancy. Everything that he re lates Gorby has seen tha scenery he de scribes baa been hla tramping ground, and the tramp characters have been his com panions. The first story, "Twenty-Six and One," is that of painful remembrancre, where there were "twenty-six living ma chines, locked up in a damp cellar, where we patted dough from morning till night, making biscuits and rakes." The second Is "Tchelkoehe," which gained htm his place In the foremoat rank of story writers. The third is "Malvo," which is regarded by tha literary world of Europe to be hla strongest work. The book Is published by J. F. Taylor ft Cb.. New York. Mark Twain contributes an article to the April number of tha North American Re view which is a curiously characteristic mixture of philosophy and humor. The spectacle witnessed In various parts of this country a few weeks ago, of multitudes of "sovereign" Americans eagerly seeking a sight of a German prince, set blm to think ing of the motives which Impelled tbem; and he cama to the conclusion that the people of the republic are as passionate in their admiration or envy of a person in whom are embodied consplcuousness and power as are the people of any other na tion. In that, Americans are merely hu man; for to the question, "Does the race of man love a lord?" Mark Twain gives aa unqualified answer In tha affirmative. Nor is it only . to the personage, tha man of the highest rank or position or Influence, thst homage is ahown, for consplcuousness and power ara relative; and, from tha top to tha bottom of the social structure, each group even the bootblacks contains one or more individuals who, because of their possession of a special advantage or at tainment, are looked . up to by their less fortunate fellows. Some of the Illustra tions with which be illuminates tha discus sion of bis theme are excruciatingly funny. McClure, Phillips ft Co., New York, have published a book narrating the adventures of a cowboy In tha west and eaat. It Is written by Henry Wallace Phillips and Is entitled: "Red Saunders." He Is not au Imitation bad man, or a highfalutin' hero, but a square out-and-out man; the kind of fellow you'll be glad to know. He's a sure cure for the blues. He aocepts with quaint and humorous equanimity the chances which the fates assign blm. These chances are varied. He gets mixed up In an Indian fight; he breaks some good reso lutions and striken a good mine; he be comes entangled In another mans love affair; and finally ha gets Into one of his own and ends up by reconstructing a New England village and being himself recon structed by one of Its daughters. Through it all he is the same clean-hearted, happy, reckless, lovable Red, a golden type of the genuine cow-puncher.
