THE SPIRIT OF FAIR PLAY. ‘There is more fair play to the square inch in this country than in any on the face of the earth, Even the young people are imbued with the spirit that every individual ought to have a show for his white alley, New evidence of this fact comes to us trom Greenpoint. ‘Two Chinese lads attend a public achool there. On the opening day the viclous element among the scholars un- @ertook to worry and torture the young Chinese, and even went so far as to stone them when they emerged from the schoolhouse. On the second morn- ing, however, twenty boys from the wchool went to the Chinese lads’ home and escorted them to the school. Along the road the escort grew larger end larger, until nearly every boy in the echeol was included in it.

At last there are signs of the level im Central America. The little re. iblics of that part of the continent are together. Salvador, Nicaragua Henduras have entered into a ot to form the “Greater Republic ‘at Central America.” If Guatemala and oO Rica finally decide to come in, door being held wide open for them, the adjective “Greater” will be dropped in fear of It. Is It not time for the authorities at Washington and Ottawa to take Joint action against the scourge? It Is too easy to buy poison in New York. Why don’t you look after the law on this subject, Mr. Roosevelt? It's on the books. RED PETTIC(OATS NOT OUT OF DATE. The young woman employed as sta- tion agent at Mount Ivy, N. J., on New Jersey and New York Railroad, in not a new woman during business hour at any rate, If she had beew it {s improbable that she would have saved @ papsenger train from possible destrac- tion. The Mount Ivy station took fire and was destroyed with an adjoining freight house, and in consequence the track wan covered with debris. ‘The east-bound passenger train was: due and the thovghtful heroine, who had almost exhaurted herself In saving the station furnt.ure and rolling bar- rels of oll cut of the freight-hou pulled off her rer, petticoat and giving it to her litle Brother, her only help during all tils trying time, sent him down the read ‘o meet and signal the train, The boy and the petticoat did their wort well, and the train was saved, What a +i unate thing it was that the static Magent was @ girl of the ood old-fashioned kind that clings to Fed petticoats and white cotton stock- ings.

Btatiatics are brought forward to show that lunacy is much more prevalent and increases more rapidly in Great Britain than tn the United States, ‘The figures will surprise those of our phleg- matic cousins who are accystomed to consider the American as @ race rush- ing Sonatas, and swiftly into condi- ons of nerfous prostration, But there is a surprise for the oniinary reader on this side, too, Who among us ts prepared for the announcement that the actual lunatics of this country number one to every 623 of population? In Great Britain the proportion ts one to every 400. New York's docking facilities are not what they should be, but they are not so shockingly InsuMcient as to make unavoldable the delays and tnconven- Jences to which the Aurania’s paasen- gers were subjected last night. A big steamship company can certainly afford to provide lights enough for an inspec- tion of baggage, so that passengers ex- pecting to take trains immediately for tant homes need not be disappointed. The attention of Mr. Roosevelt 1s called to a terrible slander on the Po- lee Department by Nym Crinkle. He brought out a play last night in which he says there has been a big diamond robbery in the city, It's false; there was no diamond; there was no rob- bery. Go for the elanderer, Teddy.

For years have the autumnal tints of her tresses been derided by the jealous mul- Utude. She h bided her time. It ha come at last. Oh, Lubin, take your car- rotty Dulcinea to the Lyceum Theatre and let her bask in the pleasures of “The Prisoner of Zenda." There she will find one of the most perfect heroes we have had for ages—a hero with a scorchingly redhead, She will also discover a heroine filled with all the daintiest and most lovable emotions—hair distinctly scarlet; & gay Lotharlo who wins married hearts and fights “jewels” with husbands—hair of the carmine shade; and a weak !m- prisoned King. the wretched Zenda cap- tive—hair red as the wigmakers make {t. As for red whiskers, red mustaches and red curls, Mr. Frohman must have bought up the red-head market. So, Lubin, take your carrotty Dulcinea to the Lyceum, and let her learn that the roseate tresses which have caused her anguish, perchance, are purest Elph- berg; that they are in great demand, and that Anthony Hope is the kind author of it all, Henceforth it will be the girl with the Elphberg hair. The hair regenerator folks are going to make a fortune, Girls will cry for Elphberg hair Just as children weep for a certain medicine, Since “Trilby” be- came a National issue, there 1s abso- lutely no reason on earth why "The Prisoner of Zenda” shouldn't do the same thing. ‘The play, adapted from the novel by Edward E. Rose, was presented at the Lyceum Theatre last night for the first time, Result—and I'll give it you straight out from the elbow—brilliant success, Mr. Rose has made a romantic drama that {s almost perfect, and it will fascinate you just as potently as did Mr. Hope's exquisitely fantastic novel. When I read “The Prisoner of Zenda’ it appeared to me to st fest a comic opera rather than a drama, I could a! most hear the chorus trooping back and forth. It seemed vain to imagine a con- sistent, intelligent play coined from the tumult of incidents Mr. Hope had set forth. But at the Lyceum we have an admirably concise, splendidly arranged drama that will prove just as satisfac- tory to those who have not read the novel as to those who have. The play is every whit as clever, as amusing and A few years ago Mra. Holmes, now an enter prising land agent at Buzzard’s Bay, made baby trousseaus for a living.

After four years ef Angement they were clamped again in each other's arms, le was a thing of the past—Mia- palpitant as the book. Mr. Rose has shown us in the pro- logue Prince Rudolf, the Red Elphberg, in his reprehensible liaison with Amelia, Countess of Rassendyll—the anger of her husband, the ferocity of her bro- ther. He has left nothing to the imagi- nation, for Amelia tells us candidly that she will be the mother of Red Elph- berg’s child. A duel is fought and the prologue {s over. In the play we have the meeting of young Rudolf Ras -endyil in the forest gear Zenda, with Col, Sapt and Fritz von Tarlenhelm; we see the King, drunk on the eve of his corona- tlon, and the plan to put his double, young Rudolf, in his place. The coro- nation scene {s capital, and the comedy introduced for Rudolf {8 really excel- lent. Then come the poetic love scenes between Rudolf and Flavia, who be- Neves that Rassendyll is the King, and yet loves him more than she ever loved the tipsy monarch; and the stirring res- cue of His Majesty from the Zenda dungeon, with more love scenes, and the final departure of Rassendyll. The play ends charmingly, The farewell of Ras- sendyll and Flavia is completely pa- thetic. While it takes place the priests in the adjoining church are singing the requiem for the soul of Black Michael, Duke of Streisau, and the whole atmo phere of Zenda seems to be on the Ly: ceum stage. No more worthy or abso- lutely satisfying production has ever been seen at this little Fourth avenue art home. Mr. Bothern covered himself with glory. He has improved so marvellously within the last few years that the last objections of his eritical friends must fall, overwhelmed. He played a. triple role. He was the Red Elphberg, Rudolf Rassendyli and the unfortuna monarch. In the last act, as the impri oned monarch, he showed a meiodi matic power that was perfectly unai Bected in the Jolly young Lettarblalr and the winsome Lord Chumley, and he Was at no time guilty of the easy crime of exaggeration, Miss Grace Kimball failed as Flavia.

To Drive Away Anta, If you get some green peppermint, which usually grows by the brookside, and lay it on the floors and shelves of your pantry and kitchen you will find that the ants disappear immediately Apply powdered sulphur very liberally | to the parts most frequented by them and they will turn their feet in some other direction; or sprinkle sugar on a damp sponge and when the feast is under way drop the sponge in hot water. Put pieces of camphor gum or cloth wet with camphor on the pantry shelves and the ants will disappear. Use plenty of powdered borax In the pantry. Capes Still Re! Many capes are now considered a ne- cesalty in the fashionable woman's wardrobe. Capes of lace, chiffon or silk are indispensable for theatre wear and calling, and are, in fact, nothing more than a deep elaborate collar. Capes for walking and travelling to match the gown are high in favor, and the driving cape at present is the moat chic of all. The latest capes for this purpose are of smooth cloth, made with strapped seams, which are connected by tabs of cloth buttoned to the seams. The capes are lined with plaid ailk, which is also | arranged to fall in a full Jabot down the front. Grape Preserves.
