Dear Cabot, I have just read through your "Boston.” It is certainly an excel lent piece of work. It la one of which I think you have legitimate reason to feel proud. You do not want to do any more booklets, of course, any more than I do. But this particular booklet will be a credit to you. I think you have every right to feel fully satisfied with it, and as regards style, it is as good as anything that you have done Give my best love to Nannie. Ever yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. P. S.

Dear Cabot: Springy has been paying your "Bos ton" an evidently sincere meed of praise by reading it all through in two days, from beginning to end; he considers it very interesting and called my attention to various points as he read. Sensible, appreciative boy. Springy—very. I am glad Hayes advised you not tn run for governor. You don’t wish that position. Washington is your place; and let it get abroad quietly, that you are to make the run for United States senator. Now, for a piece of social news, which will he of Interest to Nannie, as she ought to know of the more noted entertainments in high diplo matic and administrative circles. On Wednesday and Thursday evening of this week I gave two dinners, assisted by Springy, with nice colored Millie as cook and waitress. First dinner. Guests, the British Minister and the secretary of war* Bill of fare, crabs, chicken and rice, cherries, claret and tea. (Neither guest died; and I think Proctor, who is a good native Ameri can, hungered for pie. in addition.) Springy nervous and fidgety; I with my best air of oriental courtesy, and a tendency to orate only held in check by the memory of the Jeers of my wife and intimate friend. Second din ner. Guests, the secretary of the navy*.* apd the British minister.••• who was *)aboriously polite and good but somewhat heavy in grappling with the novelty of the situation. Bill of fare .chops and rice, pate de fols gras, raspberries, claret and tea. (Guests still survive.) Springy still nervous. Tracy in great form, very amusing and entertaining.

Dear C'abot: I have been thinking over your re quest for me to speak in Massachu setts this fall. I do not think I ought to go. I think it would be merely frittering away what I may.be able to accom plish by speaking in Massachusetts in the congressional and presidential con test a year hence. This year there Is nothing particular to he gained, as far rs I can see, by my appearance. You are not running, and there is no president in question and no congress; and I would certainly weaken what ever effect would he produced by ap pearing next year. Remember, that when I speak 1 have got to make up my mind that unfavorable comment upon me, and therefore upon the commission, Will follow, and I have to weaken myself a certain amount, with the already overwhelming good democratic ma jority in the next house. I am per fectly willing to do this for an ob ject, but it does not seem worth while doing it unless there is an object. Of course, if you make a dead point of it, I will come. Meanwhile, cannot you come down to Oyster Bay between the 13th and 19th? That will be polo week and it might amuse you to see It. We should very much like to [MElra ■wyiPiES Sore Eruptions Formed.

T have turn e<l into an anglo manlac here and play tennis at the Rritish legation ever® afternoon. Plav It very badly, too. Springy feels fairly venomous over American polities and social life Just at present. He is a dear, and I soothe him. Have you seen Rrander Mat thews' clever little article on Briti cisms and Americanisms In the .July Harper? I'NITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION * June 29. 1S91. Dear old Cabot. Your letter made me feel really downhearted. You have certainly been treated with the basest ingrati tude* by what ought to be. hut em phatically Is not, the best element in the commun ity. You have had a moat hon orable and sue -essful oareer In the house; at the worst I would take one nr two terms more therein: and if you are eleclcd in the senate, you draw one of tlie great prizes of American poli ties. In your position it was absolutely inevitable for you to he bitterly attacked by the Harvard college “educated" crowd. They have been all wrong for the last seven years: and they were hound in order in justify themselves to as sail the hest men who took the op posite view. This attitude Is radically false. Take what is happening now, for Instance. They hate, or profess to hate, Tam many above all other things; yet Tammany Is recognized as the corner stone of the northern democrats ev erywhere outside of New Etfgland, and the three “reform" candidates for speaker. Mills. Crisp, and MacMillan, are all to appear before Tammany on duly 4th, to try for favors! Yet the Mugwump papers will have no com ment on this, no explanation as to what it really means, no exposure ns to the attltued of the Speakership candidates whom they have extolled as the apostles of purity. As for their praise of me, it is I ant sorry to say a measure and sign of the fact that my career is over, and (hat though, as I firmly believe, I have done a good work—the best work I could do—yet that In doing it I have spent and exhausted my in fluence with the party and country. I am at the end of my career, such as It is; you may he at the beginning of yours, and you have already had a most honorable one. My task for the past two years has been simple. I have only had to bat tle for a good law; ami though this meant drawing on me the bitter ani mosities of the men who in New York, st least, oonfrol politics, it was easy to perform creditably, and of fered nn obstacles In the way of be ing misunderstood or misrepresented by men of standing and intelligence. A much harder, and much greater,' task Is the work of an organization, of a party in congress. Had I been In congress I should now he as bit terly assailed as you. I often have a regret that I am not in with you, Heed, and others In doing the Teal work, the work that is not too much in advance of the people—though I rtnns wish to be understood as regret ting what I have heen working at: i n th" contrary I ant proud of It. Always yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. •Thi* refers to my foe re election as overaper of Harvard. H. C. I* UNITED STATES CIVIL.'SERVICE COMMISSION. ! July 1, ’91. ’Dear Cabot: Yesterday Springy and I moved over to 1721.*where we are Just as comfortable as possible, and are ex cellently taken care of by nice black Martha; and we think very gratefully of our absent host and hostess. When we went to bed last night Springy performed a delicious feat. We went upstairs in the dark, and did not light the gas. I turned Into my room: and noticed that, as I un dressed, I did not hear anything of Springy- Soon, however. 1 heard my name called from the flight above; and then followed demands to know where I was and where he was, and and where our bedrooms were; and when I had answered these questions and lit the light Springy came pad dling downstairs dressed a la Lady Oodiva, with his clothes, shoes, etc., •clasped In his arms. He had dream ily walked up one extra flight, un dressed and started to get into hed when It occurred to him gf odd thati the hed had no sheets. He couldn't find any matches, and began to feel that there was a mys tery' somewhere; and so he became vocal, and when I answered him front below he at first felt as If I had gone down to live in the cellar. AVc saw the president today, about some changes In the rules. Having promulgated the Indiana.rules, he will do nothing else, and will pot even consider changes to which there Is no opposition, and which would merely simplify and expedite business (throughout the Interview he was, of course, as disagreeable and suspicious of manner as well might be).

I Intend to be on the team myself, and do my own part. Here 1 have been greeted warmly by Springy, still lame but no .longer on crutches. Martha takes excellent cara of him, as usual. Please tell Nannie this. I need scarcely tell you what a great comfort It is to see that I am in your house, and not staying around at some dreary hotel in this hot weather. Naturally I am a little homesick for Oyster Bay, and ns there seems to be very little to be done here I shall soon go bark to it. I do not object In the least to staying here to work just as hard as can possibly be, but when there Is nothing to be done, literally, then I hate to stay. How ever. 1 am getting off most of my re port—my annual report—and my Bal timore report Is pretty nearly ready. In fact, all the work that can be done has been done. If the president would only act a little differently there is a w hole raft of work which we could do, and which I should very much like to do. However, I cannot complain. Best love to Nannie. Yours very cordially, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. P. S. The president actually refuses to consider the changes in the rujes which are necessary to enable us to do our work effectively. He has never given us one ounce of real backing. He won't even see us. or consider any method for improving the service, even when it in no way touches a politician. It Is horribly dishearten ing to work under such a chief. How ever, the very fact that he takes so little Interest gives me a free hand to do some things; and I know well that In life one must do the best one can with the implements at hand, and not bemoan the lack of ideal ones.

Mozart's comic masterpiece, which is as bright and amusing as well as entrancingly melodious today as when it was first produced, has been given a cast and production which New York critic* have agreed ^pould not be improved upon, and which would do credit to the Metropolitan Opera itself. Handsome costumes and ingenious and ttractlve staging make the opera as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear, while a world fenow ned conductor and a chamber orchestra help insure a perfect' musical per formance. Eileen Schofield, at the Orpheum this week, entered upon her career as a dancer against her parents'wish es. 'When her family finally admitted defeat and gave their permission for Eileen to adopt the theater as a pro fession, they found their daughter was a dancer with a lot of personality and a whole hag of tricks of eccen tric and acrobatic dancing- She went to New York to look for professional engagements. She made her debut on Broadway and was a hit.
