FAIR
BETWEEN TWO GIHLS.
It isn't true, as Browning thought it was, that
any noe may ravage a rose with impunity. Some
rows may be ravaged by any nose, but there are
other roses purely for the delectation of the discrim
inating. And to this class belong the roses we bavt
in mind; they are for the elect.
They are a girl's.- One is at her breast. The
other is caught in Iipt hair, and, being a rich yellow
lose, it almost blends wiUi the silken and golden
enare which nvikes its londage sweet and gentle.
Perhaps the rose even catches color from those sun
lit strands. The girl's eyes are clear blue, like the
eky which makes a setting for Jeweled suns, and
Jier lips are of the sweetest, touched with the tint
that nature loved the iiest. sensitive, yet "kin o'
smlly." The faint smile of her mouth has some
communion with a light of the eyes.
But what has oil this to do with the roses?
Thus much the roses are as much a part of her and
1. . . . . ....
jut niirei juuuk nature as is sue a part or tne en
wmble of earth's happiness. She herself is "the
queen rose of the robebud garden of girls," which
is. saying a good deal, considering that there are
Gibson girls, Flagg girls, Christy' girls, Hutt girls
and a whole bevy of glorious girllshness in the gar
den. She a Florence England Nosewortby girl,
and, considered as a rose, is altogether noseworthy.
But, as we said before, it isn't every nose that is
worthy of a rose; however noseworthy the rose
may be, not every nose is roseworthy.
Tills rose i Intended for the elect subscribers or
The Sunday Republic, to whom the new magazine Is
addressed. She adorns the front cover. There is
also a girl on the back cover, but she serves a both
useful and ornamental purpose and is not entered
solely in the Interests of art.k Between these two
gir's lies an immense field of interest
During the holidays the N'nwab of Rampur was
a notable visitor In New York. Quizzed by the
newspaper interviewers as to whether he had come
to marry an American heiress, the Sahibzada de
clared: "That Is too persona a question. I am a
very poor man." lie smiled whimsically and con
tinued: "But I don't like heiresses; they are apt to
be too Independent. Wealth as an adjunct to woman
is often a iwsitlvc detriment." Queer, wasn't It, to
hear a titled foreigner talk in this strain? So
thought Sigurd Schou, the artist, and for the center
double-page of next Sunday's magazine he has made
lU exquisite colors n picture of a group of rich
women exhibiting a willingness to marry an im
pecunious nabob who Is long on scruples and short
on commercial Instinct. Schou has, as Is his custom,'
dressed the ladles In the newest fashion making
the picture an animated fashion plate giving the
models life. This clever combination of two Ideas,
the Illustration and the fashion design, brings Schou
to the fore with an art which is of especial appeal
1o womankind.
"End of Her First Season" is a sory of a
debuntante here we have another bud and a color
picture of her by Phlilips Ward is daintily repro
duced. "White Hyacinths" is another entertaining
tale, with a lovo interest. Another Installment of
John Oxenham's "The Great Adventure" will hold
the boys for awhile. And a Filipino tale by Brad
ford Daniels will hold the older boys for a brief
space. A scholarly article on the "Picture Tongue
of the Orient," by Stanhope Sams, editor of "Japan
and America," Is illustrated In black-and-white nnd
possesses particular Interest at this period. "Odys

by Seymour Stone, is carried forward In this uun
. ber. "His Morning Faper," "The Prospector's

HYPHENATED HARMONY.
"Has Jolmny got a knife up his sleeve?" This
question is slowly creeping in uiiou the intelligence
of some St. Louis-Hamilton Club members. Its eig
nllicance is revealed by a cursory review of the
dual experience of the new dual organization.
There were the "humble eighty" and the proud
Fonr Hundred in politics. The "humble eighty"
were Just "the boys." They made no protensioiw
to exalted motives. They wouldn't have recognized
a great Republican principle if they had met It
coming down the steps of the City Hall. They
weren'r up on party history. Some of Hiem doubt
less didn't even know that Mr. Itoosevelt was a Re
publican. They didn't care who carried Marylund
and were Indifferent to victory in Il'inoK The g.
o. p. signified nothing to them. But they could tell
you something about a Republican primary; have no
doubt on that score.
"Why Is a Court of Criminal 'correction?" was
no riddle to the humble eighty. "Naturaliz.itiou"
was a pregnant term. "We got a moon yet. ain't
It?" was perfectly intelligible; and they knew, at
least by hearsay, the difference between a birthday
party and an American birthright. Such high
sounding things as American birthrights, by the
way, made them tired, and they had very little ii-e
for people who talked about them. Consequently
they held in more or less contempt the "swell
gazebos" who constituted the Four Hundred. Tin e
Ward McAllisters and Solar Walkers were utterly
impossible from the practical viewpoint of the gang.
But the Four Hundred, oddly, did not look upon
tbe eighty as being without the pale. So far from
looking down upon their humbler and more practical
I brethren of the fourscore, the Four Hundred, be
tween games of ping pong in the parlor, discussed
the utilitarianism of the primary magicians and the
ethics Involved in a possible union with them. The
utilitarianism of the unregcueratcs i-eemed to stack
up pretty well against their own Utopian uscless
ness, and a" union with the result-getters promNed
jolly well for pie, -which is a deuccdiy important
desideratum; in fact, almost a sine qua nou. So
the Four Hundred cut out the ethical considera
tions, and union finally resulted.
But what motives, ask you, could bring the brave
little four-score to come into the fold of the Four
Hundred? History must be left to answer the ques
tion in its own way.
As bearing upon the probable answer, however,
certain facts may be considered, among them these:
It cropped out at a meeting of the Four Hundred
several weeks ago, when they were discussing the
contemplated union, that a sophist arose and pointed
to the fact that Johnny Owen, Esquire, had in a
remarkably ehort time made himself pretty much
the main squeeze in the little four-score band.
UXow,' continued the sophist, "if Johnny can so
readily climb into the captaincy and control of those
practical politicians, what will he do to us if we
take him and thm in with us? Why, he won't do
a thing but move around in our large and com
modious organization and cinch the whole thlngl"
The Solar Walkers paused with their pin-pong
rackets In midair to listen to what seemed to be a
clincher. They were about to be convinced and to
resume the play when a grizzled' and genuine old
philosopher arose and exclaimed, "By Cracky,
Gentlemen! If Johnny Owen is a click enough poli
tician to corral that bunch of eighty, he's the very
man we ought to get for our layout we need some
body like that!" There was no getting around this
proposition.
But the interesting fact to be noticed in consider
ing the initial question, "Has Johnny got a knife up
his sleeve?" Is this: In the old days Johnny was a
member of the St. Louis Republican Club itself, and
Johnny was rather unceremoniously fired, together
with fifteen other members of tbe old Republican
City Committee. It took Johnny just about four
minutes to start his Hamilton Club; and we have
seen that it didn't take the Hamilton Club very
long to get strong enough to be harmoniously
hyphenated with the other. Does Johnny still bear
the old grudge? Has Johnny got a knife up his
sleeve? ,

NEW MUSIC AND MUCH GOOD

TO SEE CHILD WED,
GRIP WEATHER.
It i needless to impress upon the public that the
fellow who evades "la grippe" enjoys life to a much
more marked degree these late-winter months than
the chap who is all aches and shivers. The grip
nas a way of setting the spinal cord a-quiver, of
fastening a leaden incubus at the back of the head
and of causing one to feel aliout a century old in
the bones .-eusations which cannot by the wildest
stretch of the imagination be termed enjoyable. And
this is grip weather.
One day it blows raw and chilly. Then comes
rain, then snow, then zero, then a thaw, then more
of the merely "muggy" brand of atmosphere. "No,
it's not cold," say we often; "we don't need an
overcoat." But the germs, to which alone such
mercurial changes are occasion for delight, forage
about iqwn their still hunt, looking for just the fel
lows who take chances in grip weather. These
peculiarly vicious bacilli, the doctors tell us. are
campaigning at a lively pace, searching for an invit
ing throat or pair of lungs, there to abide and feast.
The mere fact of the germs and the grip should
be no reason for panic. The man or woman who
in terror of sickness rushes madly into use of all
manner of alleged preventives offers special at
tractions to the germs. To live in constant dread
of dij.ea.-e means subjection to a disease worse than
grip fear. But the citizen who docs not recognize
the dangers in the penetrating cold of a raw day,
and who fails to exercise the ordinary precautions
dictated 13 common sense, Is simply a fooL

FRANCHISE LEGISLATION.
The various experiments being made with innova
tions in franchise legislation ought to demonstrate
the practical merits of several methods to regulate
the revenue and govern the service. Almost any of
the tried methods, including those under which the
most evils have sprouted, should be effective if the
u(ial principles were rightly and fully enforced.
Yet. experience and experiments are simplifying the
methods of accentuating the principles so success
fully that better laws, safer rules and practices and
better results will come.
Particular Interest Is taken in the subjects of
transportation, lighting and water supply. The su
perior benefits of municipal ownership of the water
supply plant are so generally recognized that munici
pal operation Is universally prevalent. Notable prog
ress is lelng made in Installing and operating mu
nicipal lighting plants, and wherever progress has
been made the advantages of lower rates and greater
accommodations have been realized.
Toward the municipal supervision of the street
railway service, Cldcago and all the cities of Illinois
have taken the most imiortant step. The Miller
law has conferred upon Illinois municipalities ample
authority to own, lease or control railway lines. As
an enabling act, this law is probably unsurpassed,
if equaled. In confirming municipal authority as to
supervision of the service. St Louis has lately gone
as far as any city, and, from a practical standpoint,
this city is as progressive as any of its rivals In
this country. Perhaps Chicago and St. Louis are
far In advance in benefiting from experience.
Canadian cities are more radical along municipal
ownership theories than are the chief American
cities, and more even than a few or the large cities
of Europe, although municipal ownership is more
common across the Atlantic than in America. In the
United States railway franchises are granted by
special ordinance, which fixes the revenue at a per
centage of the gross annual receipts, or the fran
chises are disposed of at auction to the higher bid
der. There is a marked tendency, however, in fa
vor of "appeal referendum" and a decided popular
demand for the incorporation of municipal owner
ship conditions in all special laws.
Few, If any, cities in the United States own and
operate the street railway lines, and it is doubtful
if any own and lease tbe lines. Many of them hare
only little supervision over the service. Some have
disposed of franchises at auction. Most have granted
franchises on a percentage basis. Some have ar
ranged for acquisition of the lines under certain
conditions. Which method Is best Is hard to deter
mine. It is likely that, with proper conditions as
to supervision, one may be as satisfactory as the
other.

RECENT COMMENT.
Eastern Vlem- of Democratic Chaaee
Harper's Weekly.
The Democratic politicians are now taking the cen
ter of the stage. Notwithstanding- the loyal and mag
nanimous eulogy of his former chief, delivered by Mr.
Richard Olney, at the McClellan banquet the Demo
cratic State Committee of Massachusetts, on January
9. voted unanimously to urge the Democratic National
Convention to nominate llr. Cleveland's ex-Secretary
of State for the presidency. A Arm conviction was
expressed that, under his leadership In the coming
campaign. Important New Gngl&nd Stales could be
swung over Into the Democratic column. We presume
that the States which the committee had in mind are
Connecticut, New Hampshire nd Rhode Island. If
Mr. Bryan and his friends would accept him. Mr.
Olney would probably get the electoral votes of New
York; indeed. It now looks as If that State would sup
port any conseravtlve Democrat capable of uniting his
party. Whether Mr. Olney could regain New Jersey
from the Republicans Is, as we have often said, a very
dlfferent question. The Republican leaders In New
Jersey believe their organization to be well-nigh uncon
querable, except by a native of the State. "Hitherto
Mr. Cleveland has been the only man of whom they
would confess themselves in fear, but they are now
beginning to admit that McCIellan's name also might
be one to conjure with.
It has been hitherto taken for granted that Mayor
McCIellan's youth put his candidacy In UM out of
the question, but, as a matter of fact he la not much
younger than President Roosevelt, and has had a far
more extensive experience of public life than Mr.
Roosevelt had when he was elected Governor of the
Empire Commonwealth. From the viewpoint of cer
tain veteran Senators both Roosevelt and McClellan
are boys, but we have had boy Senators and boy Speak
ers. Henry Clay was but 29 years old when he first en
tered the United States Senate, and only 34 when he was
chosen Speaker or the House of Representatives. It
would be a profoundly Interesting Incident in political
history if Mayor MsCIellan should be nominated and
elected to an office which his Illustrious father, though
nominated, failed to secure.
Rnaaln'a Weakness.
George Kennan In Outlook.
Seventeen years ago, Mr. E. I. Utln. one of the most
distinguished lawyers of the St Petersburg bar a close
observer and a man of wide Information, said. In a dis
cussion of this subject: "A clever finance minister
may, for a long time, make ends meet by devising new
methods of taxation, by raising excise and customs
duties, or even by Juggling with figures; but there Is
no hope for the finances of a country like ours, where
the taxpaylng poner of the normlation as M. .
steadily decreasing." Was such the state of aXTalra In
Russia In 1SSS, and has It changed for the better since
that time?
The statistics of the Zemstvos (provincial assem
blies), the Investigations of 'political economists, the
reports or Imperial commissions, and the statements of
Rus-ia's Finance Ministers, all go to show, not only
that Mr. Utln's presentation of the case was a fair and
accurate one seventeen years ago, but that the decline
In the earning capacity and tax-paying power of the
Russian people Is more marked and more noticeable
now than it was then.
The case" of "The Siher Slipper." at the
Century, may certainly be diagnosed as a
complication of EnglNh musical comedy
and English comic opera, presented with
American sprlghtliness. It has a story
ar.d much music that reminds one of
"Florodora." The pleasantest feature, in
feet Is Leslie Stuart's music This is
light as froth, but not trashy. Mr. Stuart
doesn't get any word tnists or haunting
phrases, but he is tuneful and pleading"
and graceful and never banal. His "Sol
diers of the Army" is quite fascinating.
"You and Me" Is dainty, and the sextet
in the second act recalls memories of TeU
Me Pretty Maiden."
The much talked about "Champagne
Dance" is bizarre and prettily executed
but a bit barbaric in action. Those six
English girls were surely contortionists
at some time In their gay careers. You
think they are BOlng to break their necks
or their legs. They cut through space In
a mad. swift whirl that would put the
average chorus maid out of the cast for
a week.
For Sam Collins, the principal come
dian, this production Is a sort of coming-
out event. He got more laughs last nlgDt
than any dozen funmakers on the stage.
Collins plays Henry Bismarck Henschs,
showman, card sharp and all-around faker.
The part was originally Interpreted by
Sam Bernard, nut coinns gets on iamous
ly. Onlv a few weeks ago we saw him as
the Sultan in "The Sultan of Sulu." There
he was a misfit Here he Is screamlngly
funny. with some noel little specialty for
every recall.
Ann Tyrell has succeeded to tne jvina
Wallace-Hopper role, Wrenne. Miss
Tyrell doesn't look a bit like the better
known comedienne, though she Is more
Interesting than i.dna used to be in
"Florodora."
Donald Brine appears as the soldier
chap, first played by Cyril Scott. Of
course we never saw Scott In the part, but
If he wasn't head and shoulders aboe
Donald well, he can't sing a little bit.
Brine's looks are In his favor and his
voice is pleasant enough when he talks,
but the chorus should come to hi" rescue
as often as possible when he warble".
Carolyn Gordon, whom we used to see
with the Rogers brothers, and later with
Francis Wilson, is the girl from Venus. If
people appreciate an exquisite voice, cul
tivated In the finest hothouse manner; a
dramatic intelligence that is of the keen
est and a general cuteness that takes the
place of peroxide beauty, there Is no ex
cuse fcr neglecting Carolyn Gordon. The
fft,nt nmni nurvpvors will Drobablv be
after her some day for a really truly part
Frances Gordon Impersonates the heir
ess rather well. Belie Johnson as. Dolly
and Alice Lessing as Susette are other
capable folks In the company. The chorus
Is a large one. and all of the girls are
richly gowned. . . , .
Versatility and naturalness are the lead
ing qualities of the German stock com
pany at the Odeon. as was demonstrated
again at last night's performance of "Jae
gerblut," a folk play of the Bavarian Alps.
The actors spoke the difficult dialect in
a manner intelligible to even those who
have but slight acquaintance with it
The "Schuhplattler." a distinctly Alpine
dance, had to be given several times. Di
rector Rautenbcrg adapted his entire pro
gramme to the character of the play.
Hans LoebeL Rudolph Horsky. Vilma von
Hohenau. Mrs. Welb-Markham. Leopold
Jacob- and Amo Olden distinguished
themselves In realistic parts.
Next Thuradav night .Leona. Bergere will
be given a benefit, in which she will play
the leading part In "Der Tanztcufel" ('The
Dancing Demon").
The Imperial Theater pleased its patrons
last night with a melange of comedy
songs and dances in a stage version of
Opper's famous cartoon character, "Hap-
?y Hooligan." There is no particular plot,
t is a series of funny Hooligan incidents
hung together with specialties and popu
lar songs.
There are some funny comedians and a
large chorus of pretty girls. The scenery
and light effects add to the attractive
ress and in all It is an entertaining per
formance. Like father like son. It is said that
hereditary Influences are more potent In
the theatrical profession than among peo
ple In almost any other line of human or
Inhuman endeavor. That the principle ex
tends to the feminine element of stage
folk Is illustrated by the Robinson sisters,
with Mason and Mason, at the Grand Opera-house
this week.
These sisters, unlike most "sister"
teams, the members of which can trace
their relationship to Father Adam as the
nearest common ancestor, are real sisters,
and twin sisters at that, and are grand
daughters of John Robinson, who was
known the country over as a circus man.
Their father followed In the footsteps of
the senior Robinson, who had conducted
some of "the greatest shows on earth" In
prairie schooners before the days when
railroads gridlronrf the ccuntry. That
was half a century ago.
The old circus magnate, dear to tradi
tion, was himself a famous bareback rider
and came of a long line of English show
men. Some of them may have been moun
tebanks in the das of Chaucer or before
Christopher Columbus did his American
disco-ery stunt.
The younger Robinson, father of the
twin sisters, managed the theater which
bears his name In Cincinnati, and the girls
were born in the "business."
Instead of taking to tarlatan eklrts and
hopping through paper-covered rings- after
the fashion of some of their progenitors,
noted performers on the backs of loping
steeds, the twins preferred the fortunes p
the theater Into which branch of amusement?-
some of the family have drifted.
But the girls have been unable to get
awav from acrobatics.
Th'ev made their professional debut as
tumblers and trapeze performers tshen
thev were less than ten jears old and
little more than midgets In size. They are
not much larger now after a decade In
which they hae toured America many
times.
One of the sisters is the wife of Wil
liam R. Henderson of Chicago, one of
the best-known theatrical booking agents
In the West, and one of her principal rea
sons for loinlng Mason and Mason for
the present engagement was to get away
rrom the city In which the Iroquois
Theater fire has affected or depressed In
varying decrees every one connected with
the theatrical business there.
The other twin admits (shades of her
ancestors defend her) that she just nat
urally loves to keep at work in her chosen
line, and Is mighty glad when she can
get the married one to leave home. She
says she could never find a teammate like
Mrs. Henderson.
How Henderson can tell his wife from
her sister is a question frequently asked
by persons when they first see the Robin
son girls. They are almost as much
alike as the proverbial twx) peas in a
pod. It takes some time for the differ
ence In them to dawn- upon an audience.
Their act in "Rudolph and Adolph" at
the Grand is one of the best features in
the shnw. In oddltion to beine excellent
acrobats, they fill in with clever singing
and dancing.
The Robinsons have many relatives In
St Louis, and this week the twn sisters
are guests of Mrs. C E. Carpenter.
Bonnie Marie's mother, at No. 33B Park
avenue.
"Rudolph and Adilph." with Mason and
Mason as the boisterous Germans; made

but these performers make you forget
that fact, in a measure. The most amus

parodies. "Under the Anheuser-Busch"
and cornice persions of "Bedella." "Hia

RUDDY drop of manly blood
The surging sea outweighs.
The world uncertain comes and goes.
The lover rooted stays.
I fancied he was fled
And, after many a year.
Glowed unexhausted kindliness.
Like daily sunrise there.
My careful heart was free again.
O friend, my bosom said.
Through thee alone the sky Is arched.
Through thee the rose is red;
All things through thee take nobler form.
And look boond the earth.
The mill-round of our fate appears
A sun-path In thy worth.
Me, too, thy nobleness has taught
To master my despair:
The fountains of my hidden life
Are through thy Friendship fair.
