THURSDAY. AUGUST 31, 1003.
Difficulty is being experienced in find
ing a suitable place for a temporary Po
lice Headquarters. Those having the
mutter in charge after a search of several
days picked out a house in Mercer street
that would just suit for the purpose.
The owner was williug to rent it. When
the neighboring householders learned that
headquarters was to be established in
their midst, they entered a protest and
now it may lie necessary to look else
where for a building. Competent judges
have declared that the present building
is liable to fall at any minute. Suppose
it should collapse while the authorities
ere trying to find a place in a neigh
b: hood where no objections will be rais
ed, what will the Mercer street objectors
*ay or vhink?
The other day a dispatch informed the
public that newspaper reporters were not
to be admitted to the Portsmouth Xavy
Yard while tbe peace conference was in
progress—a most useless impertinence,
says the Boston Herald. A few days be
fore one prominently spoken of as a can
didate for an important public place de
clared, as if this were bis private busi
ness, that he had nothing to say to news
paper men. as if the newspapers would
have nothing to say to him. These are
sample instances. There are many like
them. Every once in a while we see be
trayed a disposition on the part of some
of our less-known fellow citizens, who
may be momentarily interesting the pub
lic. to treat, with cruel disdain, or with
an assumption of haughty iudignat'on.
those busy men whose task it is to keep
the public informed of what is going on
in the world. It may be, indeed, that the
public is sometimes greedy for informa
tion which Ought not to l>e furnished It.
but that it is frequently furnished with
such information is usually the public's
fan’t. Any newspaper would be foolish
to print what the public does not desire;
beside, vice may always be pandered to
by some one.
We are inclined to the opinion, after a
reasonably long experience, that those
who resent the supposed intrusion of the
reporters are usually men of mere mo
mentary importance, and nearly always
they are quite mistaken as to the func
tions and the value of the reporter. They
may be lifted up by the selection of tbe
past which they command for an unusual
purpose, or they may be gossipped of as
the possible incumbents of a public office,
or they may be concerned in a marriage,
- or in a birth, or in a death which, for
one reason or another, Is justly and pro
perly interesting to the public. The idea
that possesses such persons of temporary
Interest is usually that their privacy is
being intruded upon; that they are being
annoyed and persecuted for the gratifica
tion of the curiosity of the reporter him
1 I
* keif, whose unpleasant duty it Is to
jgather and present what the public de
sires to know. Such a person may rest
I assured, however, that the reporter is m3
more pleased with the task of visiting
him and interviewing him than is be to
receive the agent of the newspaper. The
reporter is a very intelligent servant of
the public. His duty is to find out t^hat
the public wishes to know about, and it
• usually has the right to know what he
Seeks. Moreover, as a rule, It is best for
tbe public that it should have the infor
mation which the reporter seeks. We
Rre not going into a defense of the pub
lication of the news of crime and of vice,

simply because that is not our present
subject; but we may be permitted to say,
in passing, that much of the news of
crime and vice which is scorned by per
sons whose fastidiousness is mainly due
to ignorance or folly, is for the moral
health of the community. But we will
confine our observations to those who re
sent the so-called intrusion of reporters
into whnt they are pleased to call their
private affairs—affairs, us we have in
timated. that are likely to be public.
It is also true of such aggressive and
sometimes obstreperous ignorers of the
press that when they want favors of the
public none ask so eagerly as they for
the notice of the press. Then they seek
out the editor, the reporter and the cor
respondent. They may repulse the re
porter who asks them for their tempor
ary information for the public good, but
many of them fall on their knees before
him when they want him to advance
their private interests. Then the editor
and the reporter become their friend.-and
they again prove their unworthiness by
their inadvertent sycophancy.
The real man, who is before the pub
lic for the public’s good, knows that the
community is properly concerned rjith
him: that it is possessed of a proper de
sire for adequate information concerning
public affairs, or concerning any matters
of general interest and importance, or
concerning persons who have made them
selves, or who have been made, of inter
est to the'r neighbors. Such a man
recognizes in the reporter an intelligent
and hardworking member of society, and
a useful public servant. He realizes the
value as well as the power of the press,
but he never asks for the assistance of
the latter, for he knows that he will re
ceive it, when the public can be benefited
by his public employment. It may be
said that, as a rule, only those who de
serve very little of the press, and who
pretend to look down upon much that it
does, including the work of the reporter,
beg humbly and persistently for its fa
vors, and they may rest assured that no
one understands them better and values
them more justly than the keen-eyed, ob
servant, thoughtful reporter.
With a surplus of $22,000,000 in the
Cuban treasury, it looks as if the young
republic is fairly able to take care of it
self in a financial way, at any rate. In
deed, comparing the Cuban showing with
that of our own treasury, the result is
not altogether flattering to the elder
sister. Cuba, at least, is not reduced to
the necessity of considering the advis
ability of cracking on more taxes to meet
a treasury deficit.—Chicago Chronicle,
The suggestion that Mr. Colby, or any
other candidate for State Senator,
should pledge himself in advance upon
the" United States Senatorship, will not
be accepted. The election does not oc
cur for two years and more, and con
ditions as they exist then should con
trol. There is no middle ground. The
Senator from Essex should vote for1 the
man the county wants when the election
takes place, but that man can not now
be named, and no candidate should tie
himself down at this stage.—Newark
Sunday Call.
After reciting that there is a “rule”
that has always governed contests for
United States Senator in New Jersey that
demands that a candidate shall elect and
send to Trenton as his spokesman the
State Senator from his county, the Jer
sey City Journal indulges in this specu
lation:—
“Franklin Murphy has always had one
eye on the varnish business and the other
on the Millionaires’ Club at the National
capital. Does the Colby candidacy mean
that the ex-Governor is in the fight
l against Dry den? Does it also explain
the curious contests that have broken
out in Union, Somerset and Gloucester,
where State Senators are to be elected
this fall?”
Former Governor Murphy has no idea
of seeking the Senatorial nomination.
He is a supporter of Senator Dryden.
Everett Colby has said that he would
give his vote to Senator Dryden if nom
inated and elected to the State Senate,
unless instructed otherwise by the voters
of his county in tne party primaries and
convention. Mr. Murphy has no hand
whatever in the Senatorial contests in
Union, Somerset and Gloucester. There
is no other candidate for the United
States Senatorship in sight but Senator
Dryden.
The remarks of the “Journal” reflect
on the good faith of former Governor
Murphy, by making it apppeur that he
is conducting a secret personal campaign
against Senator Dryden, to whose candi
dacy he is understood to 'be pledged. Mr.
Murphy, as everybody in Essex knows,
lias nothing to do with the candidacy of
Mr. Colby. Like the other party lead
ers in the State, he is simply standing off
to allow the Essex Republicans to set
tle their local differences themselves.
And he knows that they will settle them
right.—Newark Advertiser.
A woman who keeps a boarding house
forgot to make air holes in a huckle
berry pie, and when the boarders had
gathered around it, sucking their knives
in blissful expectation, the blooming
thing blew up and scalded everybody.
And, as if enough hadn’t happened to
Paterson. N. J„ this calamity had to
locate itself there.—Brooklyn Eagle.

AMUSEMENTS,
Lew Field’* Theatre.
The second season of the Lew Fields’
Theatre will ue inaugurated next Thurs
day evening. August 31, when Mr. Fields
and his associates will present the musi
cal comedy. ‘It H’appened in Nordland.”
This entertainment, which was written
by Glen MacDonough and Victor Her
bert and produced by Julian Mitchell,
enjoyed a run of nearly 200 nights at
the little Forty-second street playhouse
last season. From here it went to Chi
cago. where at the Grand Opera House
it remained ten weeks, playing to the
largest summer business in the history of
that city.
The company in the support of Mr.
Fields is practically the same as that
seen with him last season. Miss Blanche
Ring, however, is a newcomer to the
cast. She will play the role of the
American ambassadress to the Court of
Nordland, who masquerades as Queen
Elsa. Mr. Fields will, of course, play
the role of Hubert, the long lost brother.
Others in the cast are Harry Fisher,
Harry Davenport, Julius Steger, Joseph
Herbert, William Burress, Joseph Car
roll. Paul Case, W. V. Brunt, Gertrude
Whitty, Mayme Naudain, Grace Fields,
Pauline Frederick, and nearly 100 other
players. During the summer Mr. Hara
merstein has made many alterations in
the theatre. _
Herald Square Theatre.
Sam Bernard and “The Rollicking
Girl,” the great summer favorites of
New York, now join hands with the
favorites of the opening theatrical sea
son. They had packed houses at the
Herald Square Theatre all last week,
which shows that they are still the
town’s appointed laugh-makers and fun
distributers. Their phenomenal summer
record, having played for over four
months to weekly receipts of $12,000 to
$15,000, has not by any means drained
their popularity. They will no doubt
remain for a long time to come on
Broadway to dispute the palm of popu
larity with all new comers. Notwith
standing their long time before this
public, every feature of the great big
show is as bright and fresh as if it were
brand new. ~am Bernard’s fun-mak
ing grows more potent every week and
Hattie William’s song-hits, “Friends”
and “Tricks,” and her clever acting of
the part of “the girl,” keep her a prime
favorite with the audiences. Joe Coyne
and Annie Augelt-s in their specialties,
the sensational swing song, the marches
and choruses. “Indians on Broadway,”
“Lovey Dovey,” and “Susan,” and the
almost endless whirl of fund and melody
are other good and sufficient reasons for
the enduring popularity of “The Rol
licking Girl.” „
Daly’s Theatre
Edna May, the American girl, is again
at Daly’s Theatre this season, having be

complete company from London and a

number of French dancers selected from
various Parisian musical companies.
This will be Charles Frohtnan’s first pro
duction this season. She will be‘seen in
“The Catch of the Season,” a musical
play which was produced in London by
Charles Frohmau over J00 nights ago
and which is still a current success at
the Vaudeville Theatre ijn the British
Capitoi. Miss May’s English company
numbers 70 artistes and in it includes
Farren Soutar, son of Nellie Farren,
who has been leading comedienne of the
musical plays on the Strand. Fred
Wright, Jr„ of “The School Girl” suc
cess of last season; Fred' Kay, who ap
peared here originally in "The Gaiety
Girl” and who has sinee been the leading
comedian at Daly's Theatre, London;
Talleur Andrews, who was the chief
tenor of “The School Girl” Company last
season; Maud Milton, a representative
English actrese, who has played with Sir
Henry Irving and other legitimate stars;
Jane May; the three Gaiety dancers,
Margaret Fraser, Bert. Siriden and Viv
ian Vowles, and number of representa
tive English stage beauties. Besides
these there is a large number of specially
engaged ensemble dancers.
Lyceum Theatre.
“Mrs. Leffingwell’s Boots” and “The
Maker of Men,” in the latter of which,
a one-act play, Miss Margaret Illington
takes advantage of a very excellent- op
portunity that is offered her for clever
acting, were the opening attractions at
the Lyceum Theatre, New York. The
Augustus Thomas comedy in which the
jealousy of a husband is one of the chief
factors in the fun-making, was received
ail last week by crowded houses with
the same show of enthusiastic enjoyment
that marked its successful run last sea
son. The east is the same that it was
then and Fay Davis, Margaret Illington,
Dorothy Hammond, Ernest Lawford,
Vincent Serrano, Jessie Burley and all
the stars that have the chief roles are as
delightful and refreshing in their parts as
they were during the early triumph of
the comedy. On Wednesday, September
6, Nat C. Goodwin will follow the pres
ent attraction at this theatre, appearing
for the first time in "Beauty and the
;
Barge,” a comedy by W. W. Jacobs,
author of “Many Cargoes,” a»d' Louis N.
Parker, _
Empire Theatre,
Charles Frohman will open tire Em
pire Theatre, New York, for its thir
teenth season on Monday evening, Sep
tember 4, when he will present John
Drew ia n new comedy entitled “De
Lancey,” by Augustus Thomas. Thia
will also be the beginning of Mr. Drew’s
14th esason as the star under Mr. Froh
man’s management. Margaret. Dale, who
has been Mr. Drew’s leading lady for
four seasons, will continue with him in
that capacity during the present season.
The other members of the company are
Waiter Hale, Arthur Elliott, Meniefe
Johnstone, Guy Nickols, Frank E. Aiken,
Sidney Irving, C. MacLean Savage, Al
bert Roccardl, Robert Sehab'e, Harry

THE LEBENP OF EVIL.
This is the sorrowful story
Told wlieu the twilight fails
And the monkeys walk together
Holding each other’s tails.
“Our fathers lived in the forest,;
Foolish people were they;
They went down to the cornland
To teach the farmers to play.
“Our fathers frisked in the millet.
Our fathers skipped in the wheat.
Our fathers hung in the branches,
Our fathers danced in the street.
“Then came the terrible farmers.
Nothing of play they knew.
Only they caught our fathers
And set them to labor, too!
“Set them to work in the cornland
With ploughs and sickles and flails,
Put them in nnid-wolled prisons
And cut off their beautiful tails.
“Now. we can watch our fathers.
Sullen and bowed and old.
Stopping over the millet,
Sharing the silly mould.
“Driving a foolish furrow, " ,
Mending a muddy yoke.
Sleeping in mud-walled prisons,
Steeping their food in smoke.
“We may not speak to our fathers.
For if the farmers knew
They would come up to the forest
And set us to labor, too.”
This is the horrible story
Told as the twilight falls
And the monkeys walked together
Holding each other's tails.
