ON THE STAGE.
London, November 12.
jlr. George W. E. Russell's little volume of
potes on so-ial changes, entitled "For Better,
jO,j 0 , Worse." and published by Mr. Fisher
MBiB. contains many reflections which are
equally applicable to English and American
(0C !etj\ Bern fifty years ago in one of the

the Gociai traditions of his youth, and being a

there has l^en an increase of emulous ostenta
tion, vulgarity, idolatry of rank and wealth and
jove of publicity. These things he accounts as
perioua losses; but he has some gains with
vhlch to offset them. He asserts that the
teauty of UK« has palpably increased since the
daj'B of his youth. No one then made any at

pened to possess were clustered together on a
round table in the middle of the drawing room.
There is now art in the home. A sage green
vasb on the wall and a white dado cover a
aajtltnde of paperhangers' sins; the commonest
china 1b pretty in form and color; rugs have re
placed hideous and costly carpets, and there are
roses on the dinner tables with shaded lights.

•While houses are more beautiful than In the
rid days. Mr. Russell cannot discern improve
ment in manners. Grace and dignity, he asserts,
have perished side by side. Men when talking
:o wonien lounge and sprawl and cross their
JegF. and keep one hand in a pocket while they
shake hands with the other. Jn the old time
veil tred people knew how to behave them
selves, and it would have been considered the
height of vulgarity to run after royalty, to in
trigue for visits from illustrioua personages, to
go out of one's way to meet princes or
princesses, and to parade before the gaping
world the intimacy with which one had been
honored. Now there is a growing love of titles;
publicity is worshipped as the chief enjoyment
of human life, and there is an increasing con
tempt for reticence. In the old days there were
certain subjects which were never mentioned;
among them were health and money. People
had pretty much the same complaints as now,
but no one talked about them. People did not
chatter about their neighbors' Incomes, nor re
gaJe their friends with statistics of profit and
loss. Even more rigid -was the avoidance of
r:Fk; toptes. whereas to-day no scandal la too
groFS, no gossip too prurient. The spirit of
allf ililnliH. in town or country, once simple and
unaffected, is utterly changed. A dinner now
adays is not so much an opportunity of pleasing
cne's friends at of airing one's own magnifi
cence; and as with the food and the decorations,
co also with the company, for emulous ostenta
tion carries all before it and will have the
"right people" or perish In the attempt. It
make? every one want more money than he has,
and at the same time drugs all scruples of con-
Fcifrnce as to the method of obtaining it. One of
the social changes which deeply impresses Mr.
Russell, as an oldtime Whig, is the decay of In
tellectual cultivation. "Dilettanteism is uni
versal," he remarks, "and a smattering of erudi
tion, infinitely more offensive than honest and
manly ignorance, has usurped the place which
was formerly occupied by genuine and liberal
learning." Indeed, the account as he makes it
oat is terribly one sided, the losses exceeding the
until he finds it impracticable to force a
v.Tkir.g balance between them. His pessimism
respecting social changes would be dispiriting if
he were not a racy and entertaining writer, with

The New Gallery has become an annex to the
Academy, where conventional art sets its own
Hyle and doea not depart from it. It is no
Beautiful, with glimpses of Sir
Edward Burne-Jones'a dreamland, nor is it a
EBUery where the visitor lingers, wondering
whether he can vaguely conjecture from what
I here or there what the art of the future
• like. The Dudley Gallery is where the
young men of the New English Art Club have
been experimenting year after year, until many
of them are middle aged and some of them are
to be tecoanted veterans. There are creative
-c€ to be felt in that dingy back room in
Piccadilly, and, alack! there are also manner
to be observed from year to year in a
group of painters who began by helping one an
other to develop characteristic traits and indi
vidual methods, and have ended by imitating
aders, notably Mr. Wilson Steer and Mr.
W. Bothenstda. They make a point of close ob
servation and paint what they see with sin
cerity of purpose, and they are deeply interested
In problems of light and tone, and are improv
ing steadily in technique; but they lack flexl
snd are hampered rather than invigo
rated and inspired by common aims and sym-
They might as well be academic and
.1 as to have a pronounced, over
«mpha«;z. d New English Art Club style.
The water color drawings, for example, are
examples of blottesque painting. Mr. Wilson
Steer leads off with a moorland of green and
Vf-lio-.v blotches under a sky streaked with grays
a patch of blue, and follows it with
ImpusslrmlSt glade, with combinations of
the same colors. Mr. Moffat Lindner paints
Dordrecht in the same manner, with sky and
*ater n. ore delicately toned, but with blobs and
filrr.s to indicate the windmills and roofs; and
ty ■tnaks of yellow and white he indicates
evening glow and the long shadow of a sail on a
Msch of still water, while the red roofs of the
$:«iant port are minute dashes of color. Mr.
h. B. Rrabazon has glints of blue, green, yellow.
Pray and red in "Mt. Pilate from Lucerne";
VftMbea of green and blue in "The Rlghi"; and
to "Phllae" blends of pink, blue and yellow,

Mr. W. Rothenstein. who ordered th« club
fashion of painting uninteresting women in
green frocks standing or lying on lounges in
Poorly furnished rooms, has had many imitators,
and his influence is seen m many canvases in
this exhibition. He has ■ variant of his own
theme in a picture with the fanciful title of "A
Flower, Fruit and Thorn Piece." and introduces
the same method of hard realism In bis portrait
of "Herr and Frau yon K." M:. Albert D.
Rothenstein carries out the same idea with ag
gressive power in the wan, starved sewing
woman of the "Song of the Shirt." with the
single exception that the room, while the tene
ment of misery, is spotlesly clean, and does not
correspond with the requirements of Hood's
pathetic lyric. M r . Henry Tonks breaks away
from the conventions of the Art Club in his
"Return from the Ball," in which two girls in
their nightdresses are listening with rapt faces
to their mother's post-midnight impressions of
social gayety, as she sits breathless and ex
hausted after the revel, and displays the splet.
dors of yellow and white finery; and also in TSx
portrait group of the three daughters of Mr.
Edgar Bishop, with faces alike yet differentiated
in character and temperament, and with an en
vironment of roses In a well ordered room. Mr.
W. W. Russell also asserts his independence in
a portrait of Mr. Charles H. Moore, in which
the bric-a-brac is so carefully and ostentatiously
painted as to be fairly Academic; and Mr. Orpen
is a law unto himself in his vigorous, albeit re
pulsive, studies of the nude, his admirable por
trait of himself, and "The Chess Players," in
which a simple and effective scheme is thrown
out of balance by an awkwardly placed by
stander watching the game. Mr. W. Strang
has three well drawn faces of amateurs admir
ing a small statuette; Mr. W. G. yon Glebn two
ambitious pictures in "The Jewel" and "Mother
hood"; and Mr. A. E. John two works of great
promise in the portrait of Signorina Estelle
Dolores Ceruttl. and the realistic "Merikli." a
flower seller, with a well modelled face and eyes
sparkling with life. The exhibition on the
whole Is a disappointing one. and enforces the
general conclusion that the new men. while
making full use of their powers of observation,
are laying undue stress upon their own point
of view.
The farce of the oldtime English household re
tains its vitality for stage purposes. At the
Royalty Theatre all the familiar figures of the
servants' hall are now to be seen in "Lyre and
Lancet," the joint work of Mr. Anstey and Mr.
Kinsey Peile. The pompous, plethoric butler, the
prim housekeeper, the stammering French chef,
the giddy, coquettish lady's maid, the frowsy
scullery maid, the bustling stableman and all
the other stock characters of the servants' quar
ter of an English country house reappear with
their traditional foibles and peculiarities, split
hairs over the niceties of downstairs etiquette,
and romp together in the horseplay of a noisy
dance. Above stairs there has been a case of
mistaken Identity. A veterinary surgeon, who
has been sent for to examine a horse, is taken
for a gushing young poet, who is to be lionized
by sentimental heiresses and intellectual ma
trons; and the mistake is rendered plausible, at
l^ast for ten or fifteen minutes, by the coinci
dence that his prize winning bulldog is named
Andromeda— the title of the poet's work. The
"vet" accordingly has the i,f. s t guest chamber,
dresses himself in the poet's eveninc clothes
and dines In state at Wyvern Court, whereas
the literary aspirant is entertained in servants'
hall, is kick.-d by the horse in the stable, is sus
pected of being a burglar and is caught in a
"booby trap" of flour and ink. All these trans
actions require two acts, and are classified in
the playbill as comedy; and with Mr. George Gid
dens and an energetic company to exaggerate
the farcical byplay there is an evening of unre
strained and thoughtless merriment. "Lyre and
Lancet" is inferior to "The Man from Blank
ley's," and meets the requirements of Salnts
bury*s definition of farce, as dealing "with an
actual or possible incident of ordinary life, to
which a comic complexion Is given by the treat
ment." Mr. Barrio's genius has converted an
equally conventional servants* hall Into a realm
of topsyturvydom in his delightful fantasy. "The

Lewis Nixon is to build a house h^re for his
own occupancy. While It will not stand on a
whole block or half block. It will be erected on a
plot which would be large enough for the build-
Ing of a 6paclous apartment house or hotel. He
has bought through Davis & Robinson No* 55,
57 and 59 East Sixty-flrst-st.. three four story
brownstone front dwelling houses, as a site for
his proposed new home.
As soon as the leases on the premises expire
the work of building the house will be bepun.
The plot purchased has a frontage of about
sixty feet in Slxty-flrFt-nt. and of one hundred
feet in Park-aye. It adjoins in the" rear the
Yosemite apartment house, which is at the
southwest corner of Sixty-second-st. and Park
ave. Within a ehort distance of Mr. Nixnn's
home site are the home of Colonel Elbridpe T.
Gerry and dwelling houses occupied by many
other well known mm, besides thf Metropolitan
Club. Mr. Nixon paid $200,000 for the Sixty
first-st. properties. The sum represented by
this transaction will be. it is thought, more than
5500.000.
The dwelling house. No. ."?. East Slxty-first

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY
A SEMI-OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE
DOMINION GOVERNMENTS VIEWS
ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
DISPUTE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: It is unfortunate that such ill advised
views are expressed as those of Mr. Frederic k
W. Searard upon the Alaskan boundary dis
pute, which appear in your is«=ue of the 14th
lnst. Your correspondent gives utterance to
some wild dream of a fortification of the Lynn
Canal by Great Britain. This is indeed news,
and too remote from reason to discuss: but the
Alaskan boundary dispute in itself is indeed of
serious moment.
Mr. Seward begins by stating that "very few
people, either In England or the United States,
seem to comprehend th<: true inwardness of the
so-called Alaskan boundary dispute." Mr. Sew
ard therein states a fact which, unfortunately,
is too true, and from which Canada has suf
fered since she became a British possession.
The same Idea prompted Sir Charles Dilke to
state in his "Problems of Greater Britain":
"It is a fact that British diplomacy has cost
Canada dear."
Canadian representatives were never given
a place in diplomatic discussions In territorial
disputes between Great Britain and the United
States until the Anglo-American Joint High
Commission was appointed, in 1898. and that was
the first occasion upon which the United States
Government was not given everything it asked
when Canadian territory was involved.
Certain writers, such as Mr. Seward. take
views of the question wholly unwarranted, and
without recognizing that the other party in the
dispute may have a better knowledge of the
situation, or. in fact, may have even a little
common sense as well as himself. He speaks
of "Canadian schemers" and of "Canadian
threats and cajolery," and says that "Canadian
statesmen muddle the question with specious
pretences of harmless purpose with which to
outwit the Yankees." It Is needless to tell one
who has studied this question that such charges
are very puerile, and it Is quite unnecessary to
reply to them.
All that Canada asks Is that this question,
year by year growing more serious, and year
by year becoming more difficult to settle, be
laid before an impartial tribunal, the decree of
which is to be final and forever binding upon
both countries. Why doos the United States
refuse arbitration? Canadian statesmen, hav
ing their past sufferance in view, have made a
stand for their rights, and are firmly lnterenched
by sound documentary evidence, and would
welcome arbitration could the American Gov
ernment be induced to agree tn such s course.
Unfortunately for Canada. Great Britain
would consider long before she risked a war
(which God forbid!) with the United States over
the Alaskan dispute, and, unfortunately. Canada
has not the Strength within hnrsHf to force h^r
right. The American Government knows this
well, and is playing an ungenerous watting
gamo. meanwhile colr.ni7.lng the disputed terri
tory- does ex-President Cleveland say
upon this point? "An extension of settlements
In the disputed territory would necessarily com
plicate the situation and furnish s convenient
pretext for the refusal of any concession re
spectinfi the territory containing such settle
ments." H" was probably not thinking at the
time that broad statements, full of sound diplo
matic reason, often come home to r ■ »t But
the 'lay must comf> when a settlement must take
place, and Canada cannot ""tani by and see her
self despoiled of territory which she firmly and
honestly believes Is part of hf-r rightful domain.
Why does- the American Government refuse ar
bitration, I a«k again, to determine the bounda
ry, as intended by the Anglo- Russian Treaty of
1825? For therein U^s the point of difficulty.
What interpretation is placed upon the action
of the American Government in thus refusing
to Canada a course sh<» practically forced Great
Britain into during the Venezuelan trouble?
The reasons for refusing are obvious.
The question at issue Is plain and simple. Does
the third article of the Anglo-Russian Treaty
mean that the line of demarcation be drawn at
a distance of ten marine leagues, or thirty
marine miles, from the Pacific Ocean's toast, or
does that line go around the headwaters of the
Lynn and other canals into the Canadian in
terior, keeping always ten marine leagues from
th«Mr waters? The former Is the Isritish con
tent ion, the latter the American.
During the negotiations ever the treaty of
1825, Russia, through Count Nesselrode, the
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, said: "We
limit our requirements to a mere strip of the
continent, and. so that no objection be raised,
we guarantee the free navigation of the rivers."
This guarantee is Incorporated In the treaty.
if the American contention be the correel one,
th'-r.- would be no need for this, as the rivers
in question are taken into American territory
In a body. By the British contention the head
waters of those rivers are within British ter
ritory and the Russian statement thereto would
hold good.
Th'; point Is: Does the line, the base line
from which the ton marine leagues Is measured,
follow the rough coast and thereby cut across
the mouth of the Lynn Canal, or does it follow
the devious windings of the canal itself into
the interior for seventy miles? If so. then the
three mile sea limit, as recognized by the law
of nations as b( ins the possession Of the ad
lacent country, should be measured from the
headwaters of the Lynn Canal. Then why <li*l
the Russians guarantee to the British the tree
navigation of these inlets' Of what use would
it be to the British to land upon Russian soil?
No! the headwaters of these Inlets were recog
nized as being in British territory, and free
passage from those waters was guaranteed
through Russian waters to the Pacific Ocean.
A converse line also proves the fallacy of tin-
American contention, for they claim sovereignty
over the ocean for three miles from the mouth
of the Lynn anil other canals. Are there two
lines? Bach, I presume, lv for convenience of
argument.
The British territory claimed by the United
States beyond the treaty strip of coast is more
than three hundred miles from north to south
and from fourteen to seventy miles wide, and
completely bars Great Britain's free access to
the Pacific, winch was guaranteed by the treaty
of IS2">. And again, how are these indisputa
ble figures reconoWed with the statement of
Mr. Bccretary Blame in writing In 1890 to the
British Ambassador: "A strip of land, at no
point wider than t n marine leagues, running
along the Pacific Ocean, from 30* 40' to 80"
was assigned to Russia by the lIM Article of
Russia's Treaty with Great Britain." "It is
the snme strip of land which the United States
acquired in the purchase of Alaska."
In 1867 Alaska was ceded to the United States,
but not until the following year did Congress
enact the necessary legislation to complete the
treaty. Three years elapsed, and in July, ISTI,
Canada became territorially a party to the
boundary difficulty. Only eight months elapsed,
— viz.. until March 12. 1872 — when Canada drew
attention to the question and usked the United
States to join her in delineating the boundary.
Mr. Secretary Fish replied in November, 1872,
that the matter would be laid before Congress.
From that date for several years Canada offi
cially brought the? matter to the attention of the
American authorities, to be met with the same
indifferent reply. In more recent years the
United States has shown more interest in the
matter and has entered into discussions, yet re
fusing any fair agreement for submission to
arbitration. Why? Canada asks that the rules
of the Venezuelan boundary reference be ap
plied, :,s Great Britain was practically forced
by the United States into that now historic
arbitration, and. rather than let the dogs of
war loose, consented to it. la it not fair to
suppose that the United States should accept
the same mode of settlement?
I would direct Mr. Seward'n attention to an
article signed by ex-President Cleveland in
"The Century Magazine" for June and July,
1901. That article furnishes many arguments
in support of the British and Canadian claims
for a fair reference to a Just and impartial ad
judication by arbitration.

THE MENDELSSOHN GLEE CLUB.
Members of the Mendelssohn Glee Club were sur
prised a few days ago by a circular letter announc
ing a change of date for the second concert, which
is to take place In February. The change is from
Tuesday, February IT. to Thursday. February 19.
A change of a concert day does not appear to be
a very momentous matter, but Is so extraordinary
a proceeding In the case of the Mendelssohn Glee
Club that its president, Allan Robinson, sent out
an explanation which contained Information that
will probably come as a surprise to the majority
of the glee club's members and friends. Ever since
Mendelssohn Hull was built the popular Impression
has been th.it so far as the concert and reception
rooms ;ire concerned, at least, it was the property
of the club. Mr. Robinson's letter explains that
this la a mistaken impression; the club does not
own the hall. but. through the courtesy of the ex
ecutors of the estate of the late Alfred Corning
Clark, It uses It for its rehearsals and concerts.
Last season the hiring of the hall by concert givers
compelled a change of a club date, and this year
rehtar-'als were Interfered with by the renting of
the hall to Charles Frohman for the "Everyman"
performances. Now. another contract compels the
shifting of the second concert from the regular
Tuesday to a Thursday night. It Is said that Mr.
Clark's desire to build a borne for the club. In ■which
he always took a warm interest, was inspired by
admiration for Joseph Mocenthal'a setting of
"Thanatopsls." Shortly after the club sang the com
position In Chlckcring Hall, when its concerts were
there given, he sent his secretary to the executive
committee with the announcement that he Intended
to put up a building for Its uses. Since his death
his willow and tho executors have respected his
well known wishes In the matter, though there was
neither a deed of gift nor a bequest to the club.

THE PASSING THROXC;.
Indian has never been more prosperous or Us
people more generally employed than at present.
Senator C. W. Fairbanks told
SENATOR how the State was flourishing
FAIRBANKS yesterday at the Waldorf. He is
SAYS INDIANA here to investigate some matters
FLOURISHES. pertaining to the immigration
question, which will come up in
the next session. Said he:
"Indiana 's more prosperous than at any period
in her history. All who want to work are em
ployed, and our manufacturing Industries are run
ning full time. Crops are enormous. Th.^ Im
mense coal deposits 'n the State are being; devel
oped and large Reids of clay suitable for tile and
pottery are being worked up. There are a larse
number of trolley roads building, and these are
branching out. in all directions. The rural free
delivery is a great blessing to the farmer, and he
wouldn't {rive it up. Interurban telephone and
trolley lines are bringing people closer together
and making country life more attractive.
"As for politics, the Republican majorities pro
claim that the people are well satisfied, and this
indicates an emphatic indorsement of the party's
principles and renewed confidence In the party.
Democratic majorities were cut down in the two
districts which are usually controlled by them, and
the Republicans scored a sweeping victory in the
State."
The buckwheat cake season, now here, ha? caused
M. H. Merrlman, of Water town. I'onn.. to reflect
on the value of honey. At th*
IX PRAISE Buckingham yesterday he said:
OF HONEY. "This la honey time— the season
when the delicious nectar pH mm
the palate of him who Is tired of every other firm
of sweet Honey fresh from the hive is delicious
ar.rt is very healthful. As (he human system :•■
quires a certain amount of sugar, honey is the
purest form In which to take it. Fresh frrm the
comb, r.o food is si free from impurity, since the
wax th it covers it seals it from outsi !•■ con
The honey of the Berkshire hills— white clover
honey— is the best, and on the festive buckwheat
cake, such as mother used to make, is a dream.
A mixture of honey and vaseline will be found a
cure for a cold, so it has a medicinal value as well.
Verily, if [ were to preach a sermon. I believe, I
should make the subject •Honey." "
NOTES OF THE STAGE.
WEEDON GROSSMITH VISITS MRS. O3BORNS
PLAYHOUSE AXP BUYS THE PLAT.
Weedon Grossmlth -went up to a dress rehearsal
of "Fad and Folly" at Mrs. Osborn's Playhouse
yesterday without the trace of an intention to
purchase that piece. He left with a contract giving
him full English rights to that concoction, and
also to nil other productions Mrs. Osborn may
make in the next three years. Including a m
play by the authors of "Foxy Grandpa." First let
i' bo explained thai "Fad and Folly" is the Kirk
la Shelle-ised version of "Tommy Rot." and will
be shown t" Sirs, Osborn'a patrons next Monday,
with Harry Conor as now leading man. From thrir
titles the two pieces would nol seem to 6 R
kind: perhaps they do in degree. At any rate Mr.
Grossmith could not get to a regular performance
of "Tommy Hot." so he chose a rehearsal of "Fa<l
and Folly." He o;une. he saw. he contracted. To
Mrs. Osborn he said: "I would Uke I
part of Conor's. th>» part of a man afraid of a mi
crobe. People in England are afraid of n::
don't you know: I think It would make a hit over
there." Mrs. Osborn's reply was in effect: "H;t
away!" But It took some thirty minutes to arrange
the financial forerunner* of the blow.

Georsci* W. Ryer died at his home In Brooklyn
Thursday night. He was born in this city in IMS,
and first I ted With the theatrical
business a generation ago -is press agent for Mrs
Conwaj at the old Park Theatre. For a long time
he was manager for Denman Thompson and rook
an active part in the production of "The i >ld Home
stead." With Mr. Thompson he wrote "Th<
shine of Para Use Alley." and was also the
of "Our N> w Minister" and the melodrama ThS
Two Sisters."
George W. Lederer has heard that the Yale men
who rushed the football ticket speculators so rude
ly about New-Haven Thursday captured not only
tickets to the game, but to the Saturday evening
performance of "Sally in Our Alley" at the Hype
rion Theatre as well. The speculators were asking
from $7 to $10 for the theatre seats. It is Indeed a
shame that Yale is not nearer the Rialto.
