Twenty thousand indignant -eitisens turned out to parade in his di honor, to denounce his actions and con- Gemn his motives. They carried ban- Bers ridiculing Roosevelt and his cru- @ade. They expressed in every form of expreasion open to a parade their oppo- ition to his ideas, And what does Mr. Roosevelt do but Mrrust. himeelf forward to review this parade! More conspiouous than the Banners, louder than the bands, the President of the Police Board stood in the front row on the reviewing stand, and with bows and smiles acknowledged ‘the people's testimony to his own offen- Bive incapacity. ‘Mis friends say it was a brave and Gudacious act. They are right. It wes Brave with the bravery of the braggart, @udacious with the audacity of the “ @ourt fool who knows that nobody will “@urt bin ‘No man of dignity, discretion or bense jwould have done such a thing. Only clowns and jesters preside at their own humiliation. Mr, Roosevelt, in his wild chase for Motoriety, mistakes the temper of New York if he thinks he strengthens his posttion by adding to the devices of hypocrisy the tricks of the fakir. ‘The Valkyrie ITI. will not eafl for Europe right away.

Syracuse stands out strongly in all these matters in contrast with Saratoga. There ought at least to be a solid union of all good Democrats against in- tolerance, bigotry and heavy taxatlor and in favor of Home Rule, in all Senate nd Assembly districts. ‘The resolution of sympathy with @trugaling Cuba, adopted at Syracuse, was timely and popular.

WaT IT MEAST. ‘The Liberty Day parade yesterday Grew together @ crowd of people vari- eusly estimated in numbers at from thirteen thousand to twenty-five thou- sand. It would be wrong to re @s & demonstration in favor of open parts. In one part was a representation of the Union League Club, in which men in their Sunday clothes were sip- ping wine at their ease, while in the other part was the object lesson of a man being dragged to prison by 8 police spy for selling a «iaos of Sunday beer, This fairly illustrated the true character of the demonstration. In one float was a living: representa- tion of the Goddess of Liberty in mourning surrounded by a bevy of handmalds arrayed in “sults of solemn black.” In another were a collection of gtowlers also deeply draped in black rape. Tho latter represented tho loss of Bunday beer, it is true, but the former illustrated the grief of the Na- tional Goddess at the loss of the Free- dom of Conscience guaranteed by the Constitution. Perhaps not one in @ thousand of those who took part in the demonstra- tion was @ hard drinker or cared thing for being deprived of a g! beer on Sunday, But every living soul in the parade felt indignant that he should be deprived of that freedom of action accorded to the members of a millionaires’ club, and resented the at- tempt to compel him, under pains and penalties, to so regulate his conactence and his conduct as to satisfy the in- tolerance of the bigot and the cant of the hypocr! An enterprising Spanish royaliat in Havana has discovered that the 200,000 Spanish troops massed in Cuba are to be used to teach @ lesson to American sympathizers with the patriots after the Cuban rebellion is crushed. This Is dreadful, It may yet be necessary to turn out a couple cf companies from some New York City regiment to save the country from Don Hidalgo. Per- haps, however, the police could do the job with their restored night-sticks. The Health Board official who was quoted as declaring that there were five hundred. cas of leprosy among New York Chinamen, now explains that he “thought he was talking only to doc- tors,” and leaves the public to infer that he was merely “talking through his hat,’ Wouldn't it be a good scheme for some- body high in authority to talk to this too talkative inspector? Croker thanked me for the money." ‘The money was $0 ‘‘con- tributed” to Tammany by a firm seek- ing favors from the old Dock Board, the acts of which invesUgators are now “Mr. reviewing. Do we begin to find out where Croker got it? The Democratic plank calling for “Equal taxation; no unjust diserimina- ton,” should be eapectally grateful to New York City taxpayers in view of the continued oppressive acts of the #0- called “State Hoard of Equalization.” isa in A question suggested to the Dock Board investigators: Why did Andy White give up an $8,000 Police Just hip for a $6,000 Dock Commissionerahip? “The Evening World” has asked this question before. Good-by to olf Jerome Park! 1 famous bronze gates brought only % at auction, the fine old club-house went for @ song, and it is still a question whether New York necds the rei voir that is to wipe out the park. “No legislative meddling.” There ts the metropolitan demand for home rule in @ nut-shell, It ty also in the Demo- cratic platform. It is a demand that must prevail some diy and should pre- vail at an early day, Wall strect decides to let the Sugar Trust alone. That's just what Olney did and what the new United States Attorney-General is doing. To be let alone is all that any Trust can ask, It a brand-new ticket against a ticket branded old. But, on the other it t# the old principle of popular overnment against the new-fan- gled idea of bows rule. Roosevelt reviewed the Liberal Sun- day ‘ade and declared it was “great fun.” The reviewing of Mr. Roosevelt has not been con-luded us yet. Suppose the Dock Board inquiry should get so much “higher up” that Mr. Croker wouldn't have time to vote be- fore returning to Europe? It's all right to have a squeeze in lemons, but not of the kind that sends the price up to the highest notch reached in twenty years. After the Third avenue mall cars be- gin to run, the people along the line may claim that they get their messages by special cable. ‘That plank at Syracuse could have becn more simply framed. But {t means home rule and local option. Don't for get that.

Later on, a violent tension of her larynx will cause her to emit sharp vocal utterances, and presently the poor little maid will take out her serviceable Valenciennes hand- kerchief and molaten it with the effus ston of her lachrymal glands, ‘What say you, “shall I subject my Birdie to all this, What will her mommer think?" (ll tell you. Her mommer will say: “Take me to-morrow, dear boy, and let me have my old diaphragm convulsed as well.” For mommer knows that all these gaudy words mean nothing more than laughter—laughter, and encore laughter. For in all verity ‘The Gay Parisians” would cause the stony face of the Sphing to melt into smiles, and if Heraclitus, the weeping philosopher of Greece, could have been confronted with this farce, he would never have gone to ‘MISS VIRGINIA PAIR. ‘This is @ picture of another American girl whose millions, rumor says, will be spent abroad by a@ titled foreign hu band.

The mirth never “leta up.” “The Gay Parisians” ends more humorously than It begins, Its last act ts its best. There are no long and face-straightening explanations to undo the tangle into which the charac- tern have rushed themselves, for such explanations frequently spoil the whole structure. The denouement is capital and as clever as anything I have ever seen. The last line {s a laugh. The final situation ts Indeacribably ludicrous, The naughty Parisians at the close of the play are just bewtlderingly naughty as ever, and thelr guilt js saddied upon a sort of new boy, who, for his burden, gets $800 belonging to some ohter fellow. But as the new boy, when he growseup, will probably be just as wicked as the infatuous Joseph Pinglet, you don't feel sorry for him. Besides, his little es eapade with Victorine, the pert maid, entitles him to no consideration what- aver. “The Gay Parisians” has been fash- foned by master hands. Every little in- cident and every funny speech have their uses. They are not there for mere fun; they help to build the colossal structure of laughter, every brick of which {8 a smile, and every dot of mor- tava dash of humor. The central idea is the desperate straits into which Joxeph Pinglet and Marcello Paillard are thrown, by their little visit to the Hotel Mascot. She wants to make her husband Jealous; while Joseph is—well, never mind about Joseph. I'm not go- ing to tell you, for I'm not sure that I could express {t In delicate language, SuMce tt to say, that every right-m.nded man and woman must condemn Joseph— must, I say—for he was a villain, and his poor wife visiting her dying sister, too! No, there are no excuses for Joseph. He ts just as bad as they can make ‘em. One of the most delectable episodes of this farce is the stuttering man, At first you will imagine that his stutter is there Irrelevantly, just to convulse your diaphragm and make you throw out cachinations, Qh, no. The stutter- ing—like everything eise In “The G Parisians"—has @ distinct purpose, Mat- thew stutters only when It rains. As f00n the sun comes out hig speech adjusts {tself. He also goes to the Hotel Mascot, and when Joseph and Marcela are arrested at the raid of this gambling house the police captain calls for Matthew to prove their pri ence there, The unfortunate couple #l- most sink to the ground with appre- hension. Now their infamy will be wiven to the world, and they will be branded by their friends. V'lan! Up comes a storm. The thunder rolls, the Ughtning flashea and the rain falls, Instantly Matthew's dreadful atutter re- turns to him and the couple are saved.

Citron green and silver blue costumes trimmed with narrow spangied gimps form some of the first of the stylish costumes of the season. Very dark brown and gold gimps and braidings are also used for decorations. Most of the coats have cloth sleeves; a few, however, for special uses, heve velvet safior collars and velvet sleeves of modorate size, with deep cloth turn- back cuffs braided like the vest. Other coats made of a beautiful shade of Venetian blue~much like the peacock- blue so popular this Autumn—are turned back on the open fronts with notched ! revers of soft chamois-colored cloth braided in blue silk arabesques.
