When Artie "T-atham was ahowm the state

oou.nfio toward a fund for th establishment
of permanent inure everywhere ho did not
begin hie remark with tliat foolish old
assertion that he would not l.rlleve there
u so murli money In the world, but he
had hi doubts an to the ability of any sum
of money being large enough to educate hu
man nature In the way that It should go.
"Why," said Arlle, "I've een two men
worth flO.noO.OuO eac h. quarre'ln;? llk blares
as to whether a ball player made a base
hit or not, and what are jou 'lng to do
when two nations quarr.M over the rut of a
woman's gown. That ft leaf hobble skirt
wlilrh Eve wore has had men quarreling all
of their lives. J have little hope for them
aa a class."
.Making a lilt.
ery likely John I.. Sullivan Is quite
sure that he la right In regard to any com
ment which h.e may have made on the
fight between Jeffries and Johnson.1 but
the big fellow doesn't seem to be exploding
any dynamite which . appeals to popular
fancy. "The public and the fighters were
always rather good to John IV saifl one
of hla old cronlea yesterday afternoon, "He
did about aa he pleased, and while some of
It got Into the newsfapera there was a
lot which, never was published. Jeffries
went out and fought , with that black man
evidently with the notion that he could
whip him. When he found that he couldn't
he didn't quit until the negro made him.
Sullivan got hla when Corbett knocked him
out In New Orleans. John I,., prior to the
fight, had refused tq tialn as he should,
and acted generally as If he were sure of
being champion ail of I. la da;"). They let
him down ea.lly whan he was put out of
buxlneea, and as Jeffeiies was no worse
beaten than Sullivan, 1 can't see why John
1.. persists In getting hack at him all the
time unless It Is ,or the reason that he
holds some of that old giudge which began
when he was barred from the Jeffries camp
at fleno. Of course, that was patched up
at. the time, but It begins to look aa if
Sullivan were never likely to get over It."
Afraid of llliu.
""Two years ago . t'amnltz tied with
Mathewson at the end of the year In the
records for National league pitchers. This
season he did not tie with Mathewson, but
after he had recovered his henlth and be
fore the end of the season he pitched a
few games which would Indicate that all
of hla old cunning was there If he tried
to use it.
Vet when Clarke, the manager of the
I'lttsburg club, attempted to trado him In
New York Tor a player -of real worth,
there waa scarcely1', club owner or man
ager who would listen to Clarke.
It's the old rase or being afraid that, the
man who propones the trade has something
up his aleeve. Without much doubt. If Mo
lliaw were to offer tomorrow morning to
trade Mathewson to home club, the owner
of the club Would begin to back up and
wonder what tfa trouble was with the
"king of tho' pltcheia." Mathewson could
be as good as he ever was. yet the party
:f the second part would have hla sua
pii Ions.
If pretty sale to say that the club
owner who g ts Camnltz to pitch In 1911
will find a young athlete who Is about as
good as he ever wan, If he will pay strict
attention to business and cut out the
"Older of Uood Friends" who have been
making trouble for him tn the last two
teSNons of so.

There has been something of a tendency
tills season 'to put moi'e western men on
the All-America foot bull elevens than has
been the cae iu the past. Some of the
western foot ball men are of the opinion
'.hat the plains, In thai section of the
country are equal, In ahl'lly to those of the
east. . .
It's doubtful. i s probable that foot ball
was nearer on an eiual Laals this year than
It has been Jn some reasons of the past,
but the west has a Joi.g way to go before

In hla present undertaking Mr. Edeson
deserves commendation, both as an author
and as an actor. No matter what else he
has or has not done, he la to be praised
for having withheld hla-hand when tempta
tion must have been strong upon him.
His play has been built cautiously and
along approved line, and la presented in
the same way. Mr. Edeson does neither
Indian nor white man an Injustice; he
merely presents the case between them
squarely, and lets It answer Itself In a
way that Is reasonable. The white girl
married an Indian and found out that sh
had mad a mistake; the Indian, too. real
Ized this, and he gave the girl up to the
white man she loved. That's all there Is
to It. but It la worked out In .a way that
appeals and shows the hollowness of much
of the prejudice against Interracial mar
riage. With the characters who appear In the
story we. of the west, are quite familiar;
we know the big-hearted old ranch owner:
the young lawyer who la combining several
llnea of endeavor In his effort to get
ahead; the truculent cowboy, the town
loafer, the old general store-keeper, and
the splendid woman who kept alive the
light of learning In the frontier community.
We also appreciate the dry, and at tlmea.
sardonic humor of the play, and under
stand In some degree the arguments that
are presented as the action of the play
develops its situations. And ao we enjoyed
"Where the Trail Divides," a much for
Its reality aa for Its cleverness. Mr. Edeson
has kept close to truth in his first effort
aa a playwright.
Aa How Landor he givea us a variant of
the Indian of whom Strongheart waa a
type. Landor Is a man. brave, loving,
gentle and single-minded In all thinsa.
When he finds the lov of the girl he wor
ships has slipped away from him he quietly
tell her to go with the man she does love,
for he wants her to be happy. It la don
qu'etly, but aeems to be the natural thing
for the man to do. It is a renunciation
accomplished with leas of dramatic flourish
than marked that of So-an-ga-ta-ha, and
therefore more genuine. Mr. Edeson treat
the character carefully and makes It one
worthy of attention.,
Miss Dennlson haa a part of some dif
ficulty to play, but surmounts her obstaeles
courageously and makes of Bess Landor a
girl that can be understood. Mr. Van
Buren gets the only conventional' role In
the cait, but does well with hla opportuni
ties. Mr. Barnum's Bob Manning and Mr.
Camp's "Bud" Smith are two finely out
lined types, and the real of the character
ore of a part with th whole welt con
ceived and well acted. Th comedy ele
ment of th play la well developed, and
mdeh occasion for quiet laughter Is found
aa the story la unrolled. Ita aettlng Is dis
tinctly western, and altogether It !a enjoy
able. The large audience at the Brandels
ast night gave Mr. Edeson a cordial greet-
ng. and In return got a sincere speech of
thanks from him.
Peter Psa" at the Boyd.
"Peter Pan" la a standing Illustration of
the saving fact that we all have some
where In our corrugated hearts a memory
of poetry. Peter comes to us so open-
heartedly. ao trustfully, that those who be
lieve not In fairies and cannot rise to the
simplicity of make-believe are among the
elect before they know It and are as ear
nestly watching the dreadful battle 'with
the pirates as If sociology or bualness were
really Involved.
Peter Pan rrfuaea to make any conces
aiona to superior. Intelligence, but goes
straight to hla task of telling us
that it la much better never to grow
up, and that having a' beard la quite
the most unpleasant thing Imaginable,
and that living with the fairies In
the tree top la far mora delightful than
being president. But. after all, ha cannot
live out In Never-Never Land, and Wendy
and the bablea must stay In a workaday
world without him.
- In the role of this elfish boy Miss Lang
has a difficult task. How well aha sua
ceeda can be beat Judged by the complete
ness and consistency of the effect. She
shows a strangely sweet personality, grace
ful, appealing, not childish, but with a

cast as the father and mother of the Dar
ling family.
Good taste and artistry are very evident
in (he staging and setting of the play and
some of the scenes are beautiful. Barrle's
story ;s so wonderfully whimsical and so
full of real poetry that Miss Lang and
the others can be proud of having given
!t a worthy presentation.
Checker" at the Krug.
"Checkers," as bright and attractive as
ever, bubbling over with wit and strong
in heart interest, drew large crowds yes
erday at the Krug, and not only drew
them, but held them Interested until the
last drop of the curtain, letting them go at
last Immensely pleased with themselves
the Christmas world and "Checkers."
The story of how Edward Campbell, once
known to the racing world as "Checkers
manages to fall In love with a girl, for
the sake of whom he goes the Jousts with
Dame Fortune and wins both a fortune
and the girl. Is an appealing one. Nor Is
luck all' there Is to "Checkers." Although
he dubs himself only a nine-spot, too high
for low and too low for high, the boy of
the turf proves himself to be "pretty
much of a man." Harry P. Beaumont is
oast In the title) role with much success.
Aided by a strong personal quality of
magnetism, Beautuont enacts the part with
discretion and judgment. In the part of
the girl, Hert Barlow, Miss Florence
Heston, who Is an Ingenue of only 19
years, makes a decided hit. The support
ing company Is a strong one.
Vaudeville at the Orpheum.
A dancing act that Is graceful, artistic
and full of fascinating vitality Is the of
fering of William Rock and Maude Fulton
at the Orpheum this week and about the
best thing on the bill. The program of
dances which these two carry through
shifts from Juvenile humor to ambitious
pantomime. Mlas Fulton is herself a slen
der, wholesome, enthusiastic, young woman,
gifted with a charming smile and a gift
of satire. William Rock Is accomplished
aa a dancer and quite convincing In a
wlerd turn made up of a popular song
sung to elaborate orchestration and with
all the accessories that make an Impressive
bit bf acting. (- -.
The Howard pair, Eugene and Willie,
are capable humorists. Both members of
the team have, voices better than those
usually given to ragtime air and are
thoroughly entertaining.
A sentimental little playlet, of a rather
mere " delicate ort than Is usually en
trusted to the tender mercies of a vaude
ville audience, Is "Love Finds a Way," by
Mr. and Mrs. Krwln Connelly. Quite dif
ferent ts "Hensfoot Corners," a rural
comic sketch, presented by Mr. and Mrs.
Jlmmlfl Barry. The Idea is not a new one,
but In this case It is worth a good many
laughs. "Wltt'D Rose of Klldare" are
four young women with sweet voices who
sing Irish s ngs In Irish costume. Goff
Phillips Is a minstrel monologlst who
miasea fire occasionally, but escapea dull
ness. Gustavo Neuaa and Gilbert Eldred
give a alapatlck act with some surprises.
Th bill Is on the . whole blessed with a
good many laugh and the beat acta are
exceedingly good.
"The Love Maker" at the) Gayety.
Sam Howe returned to th Gayety yester
day for a week's stay with a merry musical
production entitled "Th Lov Makers."
Howe, who la In th front rank of enter

with a large and capable company. Robert
Howe, Linton Do Wolfe, Jamea Dixon and
William Frlcke are the other male mem

De Wolfe I pretty as a picture, clever in
her singing and dancing and divides the

Time: All Afternoon.
It was the menu for the newsboys'
CI r 1st mas dinner, devised by themselves,
paid for hy themselves, eaten In the
privileged solitude of the dining room they
had engaged and paid for at the Shawler
restaurant. Although the seclusion was
only secured by the friendly assistance of
tall screens It was amply sufficient to shut
out prying and critical eyes, and Jimmy
was privileged to accomplish the feat of
eating peas with his knife and there was
no thought of restrictions that would pre
vent him using that handy tool on the
turkey and make it the conveyor to his
mouth of every other viand, to the last
bit of the pumpkin pie.
There were eighteen newsies in the Im
provised dining room, seated at three large
tables, on chairs that were high enough
to give a commanding view of every dish
on the tables.
The waiters wanted to serve the tre
mendous dinner In courses, but nary
course except the first big avalanche from
Jhe kitchen.
Roy Mitchell waa master of ceremonies,
but there weren't any ceremonies. It was
business, earnest. Intense, satisfying from
tho start.
Nn Time Wasted.
The lengthy time limit was an unneces
sary precaution. Thirty-flva minutes from
the moment grace was not said the last
vestige of the feast had vanished, leaving
only a disordered array of dishes and little
piles of closely picked bones that would
have disappointed a hungry pup.
The carefully planned program Included
some congratulatory addresses. some
hearty expressions of gratitude to a gen
erous clientele that had made such a feast
possible. But for the flrat ten minutes It
would have been an Inexcusable breach
of dinner etiquette to have called out the
speakers; for the next ten minutes It would
have been Inadvisable and at the conclu
sion of the final fifteen minute It would
have been wholly Impossible for any of
the talkers to have done credit to himself
by attempting to deliver his set speech.
Consequently ther was no speechifying.
But the looks and the murmur of satis
faction were far more eloquent and con
vincing than any Idea expressed In
spoken words, though they had been
couched In phrasing faultless enough to
have won a prise tn a university ora
torical contest. '
'Kellers, yer don't Want ter bear my
speech now, do you?" said one of the
young orators who had been selected for
the after dinner program.
Naw, we don't want to hear no
speeohin' " cam the response from every
table. "We want to begin dreamln' about
this right away and make It last aa long
as a dream kin."
"I dreamt a dream onoe that lasted nine
years," said one dreamy-eyed youngster
whose eyelids seemed to be abnormally
heavy.
'But we must do our resolutin' thankln'
our patrons for thla feed " sulrl nnlh.r
honest-minded kid whose hands held a
crumpled sheet of paper, covered with ver
tical characters. Indifferent orthography
and many capital letters, cnmhlned lntn
phraaes with numerous "whereases" and
"resolves."
"We don't need to tell m we re glad
they giv us the dough for this feed,"
came the protest from every table. "They
ought to know a kid is always glad to get
all the gcod things he kin eat.''
Let us wait till Jest before next Christ
mas to tell "em about It," ahouted one
precocloua diplomat. Th wisdom of this
course Impressed Itself upon all, and a
year from now, If there Is a man or
woman who Is willing to contribute to
th nswboys' dinner fund and wants to
know whether the nickels given this Christ
mas season were worthily bestowed and
fully appreciated, let that person ask any
of th newsies who enjoyed the dinner
yesterday to tell about It.
Only one bit more of description Is re
quired to convey fully the completeness
of the happy event, and that relates to
the environment. The Shawier restaurant
Is sandwiched between two 6-cent moving
picture shows and there Is another on the
opposite side of the street. And-finally
there wer no papers to think of until
Monday morning.
