sion, manner and gesture. The nice-
lion and gradations of feeling until
lately have not been considered within
the province of pantomlmlsts. Panto
mimic acting has been "broad" to the
point of bad art The art, It Is said,
never pained permanent favor be
cause of the very fact that It lacked
the resources of suggestion.
New York, Gesture the refine
ment of action la perhaps the oldest
form of expressing emotion, and Just
now there seems to be a tendency to
revive the old art of pantomime. With
the English the pantomime play la an
Institution, with Americans It Is al
most a novelty. Our older generation
of (heater-goers, however, can recall
"Humpty Dumpty," to which Goody
TwoShoes, Old One-Two. Tommy
Tucker und Humpty Dumpty became
famous.
"For tho' true love ne'er did
smooth, I'm told,
All will end well where true hearts
like yours, are gold."
What a satisfying couplet to come
from a fairy queen after the opening
vicissitudes of the wordless play.
Perrot, Arlecchlno, Paotalene and
Columbine were characters In Italian
masque plays of the middle ages. An
Incoherent plot was strung together
to embrace acrobatics and ballet dan
cing. It was 400 years later that the
descendants of the Italian quartet ap
peared before an American audience.
Plots of the older pantomime plays
were simple and fantastic. Without
Nspeech there must bo swiftness of ac
tion to sustain Interest The story of
"Humpty Dumpty," whose popntarlty
began In the spring of 1868, when
George L, Fox played the great clown
at the Olympic theater In this city,
is a good example of pantomimic plot.
Goody od Tommy were- rustic lovers
and were forced to make love In se
cret. Old One-Two was the guardian
of Goody, and at the beginning of the
play comes upon the pair and threat
ens punishment. Humpty appears to
take away the ugly guardian In his
wheelbarrow.
Then the good fairy appears to de
liver her hopeful couplet about true
love and changes the characters Into
Columbine, Pantaloon. Harlequin and
Clown. Tommy Tucker becomes the
Harlequin, garbed in scales ot yellow,
symbolizing Jealousy, blue for love,
red for passion, black for death. Har
lequin Is given a maglo hat and a
mask to make him Invincible. Old
One-Two, for offense against true love,
is put. In the , power , . of Humpty's
tricks." Humpty becoming the clown of
the harlequinade. Such was Humpty,
who has gone where.
"All the king's horses and all the
king's men
Can never put Humpty , together
again."
.Pantomime Is a distinctly different
art from that of acting. Some of the
clowns ot the day who are pantomim
iste are Adams, Ravel, Melville, Mar
cellne, Miaco. A pointed finger roust

difficult task in pantomime 1b to
mimic animals. The animal costume
does not suffice. A close study of anl

New York. Four generations of
one of New York's oldest families and
an estate variously estimated at from
$1,250,000 to $10,000,000, are involved
In a lawsuit, the facts in which have
come to light through a decision
handed down by the state supreme
court here.
The defendants in the action are

and wealthy women, who are holding

The more he struggled the tighter

Feist was turning Into Hamburg

boys stepped from a doorway. One. ot

To the Senate and House ot Repre-

There Is no branch of the Federal

that which concerns the public do

domain which is In Alaska.
Tho progress under the reclamation

The rules governing the acquisition
of homesteads, of land that Is not arid
or semi-arid, aro not well adapted to
tho perfecting of title to land made
arable by government reclamation
work.
I concur with the Secretary ot tire
Interior In his recommendation that,
after entry Is made upon land being 8ni permitting the state to regulate

five years' cultivation and three
years' occupation, with a reservation
of a government lien for the amount
of the unpaid purchase money. This
leniency to the reclamation home
steader will relieve blm from occupa
tion at a time when the condition of
tho land makes It most burdensome
and difficult, and at the end of five
years will furnish him with a title
upon which he can borrow money and
continue the Improvement of his hold-
Ins.
I also concur In the recommends-
Ing together of the power derived
from water within a radius of 300 or
400 miles, I think It better that the
power of control should remain in
the national government than that
it should be turned .pver to tho states.
Under such a system the Federal gov
ernment would have such direct su
pervision of the whole matter that
any honest administration could eas
ily prevent the abuses which a monop
oly of absolute ownership in private
persons or companies would make
possible.
