Round About
NEW YORK
New York , Dec. 31. Although all
of the leading restaurants expect to
be crowded with morry-nnkors cele
brntlng the advent of the New Year
tonight , a Bomowhat cunetenod Now
Year's eve celebration ID hoped for
from the occurrence of the anniver
sary this year on a Sunday. Alcoholic
bolBterousness will thereby bo auto
matically curtailed and the public
peace will prollt by a tightening of
the relna over a celebration which In
Its ( AIurdl Gras development begins
to verge closely on license. But never
fear , there will be fun enough , and
to spare for everybody before the
lights are darkened on the Great
Whlto Way.
Well , we nre nil loonoy , ns looney
ns March hares , for Dr. Ferris says
so , and he ought to know. In fact ,
Dr. Ferris , who Is president of the
New York State Commission on Lun
acy , says that one In every 279 Is
looney , and who knows whether ho
is that one or not ? The only way
to bo sure that you are not loonoy Is
to steer shy of the lunatic asylum or
Dr. Ferris' observing eye. Then there
is another way prescribed by the
eminent doctor himself : "Cut out
booze ; quit sowing wild oats ; live In
the country , If not all the time , ns
much of the time ns possible and
practice the simple life.
When Governor Horace White
hnnds over the reins of the govern
ment of New York to John A. tiix
who by the way will bo sworn in nt
midnight tonight next Monday , the
empire state will have what It has
not had since the retirement of Roswell -
well P. Flower in 1S92 a democratic
novernor. The now chief executive
will have a legislature safely demo
cratic in both branches' nnd demo
cratic nssoclntes in the various elec
tive state ofllces ,
Ono of the first and most Important
duties of the now legislature Will bo
to elect n successor to United States
Senator Chauncey M. Depow , whoso
term expires on March 3 next. Judge
Alton B. Parker , Edward M. Shepard ,
Thomas M. Osborne , chairman of the
Democratic League , John B. Stanch-
field and W. J. Sheehan are among
the prominent men named for the
honor. There Is no doubt that Mayor
Gaynor's choice will figure largely
into the matter. Mr. Gaynor has not
named his man , but it Is known that
he Is not in sympathy with the man
believed to be the favorite of Tarn-
many Hall whereupon hangs a tnke
of serious disagreement between the
mnyor nnd the tiger.
During the coming Week Now York
vlll be the scene of two interesting
utomoblle exhibitions. The Indepen
dents Open their show which is call
ed the International Automobile ex-
ilbit , at Grand Central Palace tonight.
The show this year Is of unusual 1m-
) ortance because of the fact that
nany Independent manufacturers
who have hitherto refused to take a
part In any exhibitions will be repre
sented In the displays , and also be
cause an exhibit of aeroplanes will
be a feature of the show.
About twenty aeroplanes which
mve been used or their types by
the blrdmen who have figured In re
cent aviation contests throughout the
country will be on view. Several air
men of prominence will also bo nt
the show to explain the merits of the
various planes.
As the show which opens tonight
closes next Saturday , the exhibition
of the Licensed Automobile Manufac
turers of America will open. The.
licensed dealers will have their ex-
blblt at Madison Square Garden ,
which will be transformed into a
bower of American flags nnd decora
tions appropriate for the occasion ,
At attempt is being made this sea
son to make both shows more import
ant socially , and it seems with sue *
cess , since largo reservations for
seats have been made In the galleries
by men and women prominent In so
ciety.
The trial of James J. Gallagher for
the shooting of William Edwards ,
street commissioner , while the latter
was trying to protect Mayor Gaynor ,
who was shot by Gallagher on Aug
ust 9 last , will begin nt Jersey City
next Tuesday. Gallagher's lawyers
are trying very hard to prove him in' '
sane and the success with which they
have met In having his trials post
poned seems to augur their success.
The annual Christmas festivities of
the Produce Exchange they call It
a Christmas jollification take place
on the floor of the exchange today.
L. A. Morey , chairman of the commit
tee in charge has planned to make it
eclipse any similar entertainment the
exchange ever gave. For one day In
the year trading gives way to 2,500
poor children of lower New York , In
cluding 200 cripples , who with their
mothers , are invited to hear a big
baud play music they can appreciate
in addition to an old fashioned circus
Including plenty of clowns.
On The
s TAGE
"The Rosary. "
The beautiful now play. "The Ros-
iry. " under the direction of Rowland
and Clifford will bo presented at the
Auditorium next Wednesday.
ThlB play IB now running at the
Garden theater In Now York , and re
cently closed a three-months' engage
ment In Chicago.
What is the cause of marital un-
est ? Why Is It that the percentage
of divorce cases rises steadily every
lay In the United States ? Why should
t be that today or tomorrow you niny
meet your happily married friend , and
n response to your question regard-
tig his wife , ho shakes his head and
replies , "divorced ? "
Why should all this bo ?
These arc questions that the ablest
nlnds have wrestled with for the past
decade without even a mediocre an
swer. But the question will not
down ; it confronts every thinking
nan and woman over nnd over ngnin.
-egal brains have tried to reply ; o
tora have used their eloquence ; the
mperfl have printed reams of matter
ind the pulpit has thundered Its ful-
nlnatloim. Still the question remains
maiiBwered unsolved.
Now COIIIOB a modern ptiy ensu-
UK a drama called "The Rosary , "
written by Edward E. Rose , and pro-
luccd by the well known theatrical
nanngers , Messrs. Rowland and Cllf3
'ord. Quietly nnd modestly , with in
blnzo of trumpets , it projects a quiet
word into this turmoil of opinions
which many believe will revolutionf
zo our ethics of marriage and di
vorce.
"Look within , " it says , "hook Ino
the hearts and souls of our men and
women today. See if there be within
the same rugged faith that carried n
republic from the wilderness and
raised above it our stars and stripoa.
Search for the abiding reliance , < n
things unseen , which forever held up
our pioneers when they faltered un-
ler privation , dangers and hardships. "
For an Illustration "The Rosary"
takes you into the heart of a typical
American family. It shows the peace
mil happiness there , then suddenly
unmnska the canker spot lack of
faith in the husband. Slowly , little by
little , is seen this devastating power
of atheism ; how it saps the strength ,
and melts the will , so that when the
doubt and suspicion creep in they
llnd the soil fertile for their direct
lescendants , Hatred and Revenge ,
and the home goes down to ruin with
a crash. Then comes the spiritual
lower of a great man , a priest , whose
Ifo Is given to mankind. Slowly , by
sheer faith ho analyzes the situation
and leads the two forth , the husband
nnd wife whom he loves , out of the
darkness of their despair to happiness
and peace.
That Is "The Rosary" and the dis
cussions that will follow its produc
tion will do much to clear the smoke
of idle theories from this tremendous
question which undermines the happi-
ness and well being of every Ameri
can homo.
%
Coming direct from its great run
of three months at the Globe theater
n Chicago , "The Rosary" will be the
offering nt the Auditorium Wednesday
night. The play Is from the pen of
Edward E. Rose , the author of the
dramatic versions of "David Harum , "
'Prisoner ' of Eenda , " "Alice of Old
Vincennes" and numerous other suc
cesses. The play is handsomely
staged and splendidly acted.
Splendid Music Show Coming.
1 The Newlywcds , " already famous
for their supieinp d.ulion ID their
wondrous child a devotion which has
been celebrated by the comic genius
of George McManus , will arrive in our
midst by the stage route on Wednes
day , January 11.
When Napoleon Newlywed first
opens his large rectangular mouth for
a yap the house roars ; and when in
infantile satisfaction he remarks ,
"Da-da-da , " the road becomes a shriek
and the baby is a hit. This is en
tirely duo to Earl Knapp , a llllipu-
tian comedian of rare giftsA farcial
story has been built around the New-
lyweds. In this story figures a real
midget , about whoso strange resemb
lance to Napoleon the fun revolves.
Little Knapp , of course , plays both
baby and midget and also as the mid
get impersonates the bab'y.
"Tho Newlywed" pair are imper
sonated by William Clifton , and Emsy
Alton. Mr. Clifton has succeeded be
yond all expectations in making up a
tacc , naturally rather human in Its as
pect , so as to resemble the classic of
the McManus hero. Ills two songs
are "The Boogie Boo" and "Jig Along
Mr. Jigger , " in which the "Eight Pout
er Pigeons" assist , are two of the
most novel song numbers Introduced
for many a day. The nurse , in the
person of Louise Auber , and the sis
ter Impersonated by Mentle Auber fur-
Ishes most of the feminine fun. Each
has a striking song number and in
her own way succeeds In delighting
the audience.
An original line of comedy is con
tributed by D. L. Don , as n bibulous
German waiter , one of the sensations
of the season. C. II. Morrell does
his brother , another German dialect
part , with unction.
Ralph C. Bevan , brings a good voice
and agile heels to the role of the man
who loses the baby and has an aw
ful time restoring the infant to its
doting parents.
Jack Bell introduces a civilized
bear , an animal role sure to please
children and grown-ups , while John
Saunders is the doctor , a necessary
appurtenance to Uie NewlyweffB men

The feminine contingent IB freah
and fair to look upon and Is carefully
assorted ns to slr.es. The chubby
cherubs , termed "Tho Eight Pouter
Pigeons , " who mnko up the infnnt
claws arc certainly "cute" no other
adjective will sufllco to describe them.
The costumes devised for the chorus
are brilliant and fetching , while the

REVERENCE A THING FORGOT.
No One Considers the Feelings of the
Capitol Guide.
Washington , Doe. ill. A big mini
with a lleiee , hrlstlllig gray beard nnd
\\onring a broad brimmed slouch hat ,
marched down the main corridor of
the eapltol yostordny , closely followed
by a guldo at a dog tint. They had
Inspected statuary hall and the rotun
da and looked In at the chamber of the
supreme court , and the visitor had
mndu no other comment on the sights
shown him than to utter an occasion
al grunt , snort or growl.
The big man paused nt the end of
the corridor nnd jorkcd his head to
ward n carpeted passage.
"What's thorn burglara doing today -
day ? " he demanded.
"Tho senate Is not In session , air , "
said the gulda in n shocked voice.
After the visitor had departed the
guide sat down on his chair In front
of the statue of Daniel Webster and
mopped his heated brow.
"That's one kind that comes hero , "
ho said. "Wo have all kinds , but his
style is the hardest to deal with. He's
from the south , I reckon , from his
looks , but It doesn't make much dif
ference , wo have 'em like him from
all sections. Called the senate burg
lars you hoard him , and ho kicked nt
everything elno I showed him. That
kind comes propnrod to kick. They
ain't got no patriotism at all , and a
United States senator ain't no moro
to them than a doorkeeper. Why , I'm
afraid to tnke men like him into the
supreme court likely ns not they'll
any something disrespectful right out
loud. Do you know what that ono
snld when I allowed him statuary hall ?
lie says , 'Who are till these crooks ? '
Then he wanted to know how much
nil them statues cost the government
and who got the rake-off. I told him
they were given by the states , and
he snid that wns ouco when the states
put one over.
"You wouldn't think , " said the
guide with asigh , "that patriotic
Americans could como here and be
so callous about the things they see.
They seem to begrudge giving a dollar
lar to be shown the plnco where Web
ster stood when he made hla reply to
Hayne. I don't know what thu coun
try's coming to. I've been n guldo
hero twenty years , but I never thought
I'd live to hear the senate called burg
lars. "
