At the Lyric Theater, this evening, before a crowded audience, De Wolf Hopper made his London debut in Sousa's comic opera, "El Capitan." Though It was one of the hottest nights of the season,, the attention given the performance was unflagging, and the cordiality and sincerity with which the company and opera were received were unmistakable. Not only was the curtain rung up repeatedly in response to encores, but Mr. Hopper's timely and modest speech at the close was received in a fashion that testified to personal favor. Joseph H. Choate. the United states am bassador, and Mrs. Choate occupied a stage box, and in the audience were Mrs. Maage Leslie, Miss Olga Nethersole, Miss Mary Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. Plnero, Mr. and Mrs. John Drew, Mrs. Clarence Collins, David Belasco. Hugh Morton, Gustave Kerker. George Edwardes, W. II. Post, Mark Klaw, E. 15. Jack, o. t innton, unanes mem. J. W. Keller, J,. K. Hackett, Marcus Meyer, Norman J. Norman and Thomas E. Berle. Miss Bergen's solo in the second act was particularly admired. On the opening of the performance Mr. Hopper was greeted with scores of dispatches from the Lambs' and Players Clubs, of New York city, and the leading American players now In London. The morning's papers praise Mr. Hopper' humor and singing and the excellent stage management of "El Capitan." but find nothing commendable In the music or the libretto, which are characterized as noisy and commonplace. The Daily Mail says: 'It Is difficult to account lor the enthusiasm the opera evoked last evening. It looks as though it would achieve success, but it will not be a success of art or anything like it." Almost all the papers speak of the principals. The Times says: "Certainly what is so well prepared and mounted deserves to succeed, and la capitan is likely to have a prolonged run." A lloosler "Zasa. Miss Mabel Howard, the daughter of the late Bruce Carr, the well-known Hoosler politician, will become a star next season. The New York Journal says: "There will be two 'Zazas in the field when the next theatrical season opens. Mrs. Leslie Carter will continue to act the brazen Parisian actress at the Garrlck Theater, while a second company, headed by Mabel Howard, will make a tour of the large cities outside New York. Less than two years ago Miss Howard was a pupil in a dramatic school, where she attracted the attention of David Belasco, who molded the ungainly Mrs. Carter Into one of the most accomplished actresses in the world. It Is said that for three months before his departure for Europe Mr. Belasco had Miss Howard In training on lines similar to those pursued in making an actress of Mrs. Carter, and which were so graphically told in the sensational $60,000 suit against Millionaire Fairbank, of Chicago, who had to pay a neat sum for Mrs. Carter's stage tuition. Henry Loralne Dead. LONDON, July 10. Henry Loralne, a vet eran actor, who toured in the United States many years ago, is dead. Mr. Astor's Show. Philadelphia limes. William Waldorf Astor has been having all sorts of unpleasant things said about him again because he has made his riches notorious by a dinner concert a week or so ago In London, at which Sarah Bernhardt. Melba and Faderewski were the pieces de resistance, and Plancon, Ancona and Bon nard were secondary figures. The musicians performed in a drawing room, and for the actress, who appeared with some members of her company In a little play, a stage had been arranged. More than Jo.000 was paid to these entertainers. Only the foreign actors are engaged for these drawing-room appearances, and It is curious to read that one of the best-known women on the Paris stage has Just gone to London with no idea of acting in a theater, but with a list of en gagements In private houses long enough to keep her employed for three weeks. The dlf ference in the value set on such forms of entertaining here Is shown by the com pensation paid to a trench actress of real fame who acted here in private three years ago. She was the last to act under those circumstances in New York and gave a little play in a Madison-avenue drawing room after her regular performance. Only JTa) was paid to her for that. The explanation used to be that the comparative smallness of New York drawing rooms made this style of entertainment unpopular. But Mr. Astor seems determined to astound London with the magnificent prodigalities which It is said he would have liked to maintain in thu country had not "the mobblsh newspapers made life unbearable."Of course, over there he has Ponsonby. Knoliys and the Court Journal to lcok alter him. In for a Look Stay. Kansas City Journal. "No. sir!" tnorted ex-Governor Ieedy to i recent newspaper interviewer, i am not out of politics.

The second day of the Western championship tennis tourna ment at the grounds of the Kenwood Coun try Club was ideal In every respect. Play continued until darkness put a stop to the sport. Much Interest was evinced in the appearance of H. H. Hackett and J. A. Allen, the players from Yale, who came to the grounds late in the afternoon. They won In both the first and second round sin gles by handsome margins. In the first round of the doubles an exciting and closely contested match was played between the McQuiston brothers on one side and Burkett and Moulding on the other. Four sets were necessary in order to settle the game, which was finally won by Burkett and Moulding. AMERICAN PRODUCTS ABROAD. Crowding- the Markets of the World with the Product of Factories. Boston Herald. It is tolerably well known from the ex perience of years that American manufac turers will often sell in foreign countries the products of their factories at a decidedly lower price than they charge their own fellow countrymen ror these products in tne American market. For years past American sewing machines, bicycles and manufactures of iron and steel of almost every description have been sold In Europe at prices greatly below the American prices. One of the most striking illustrations of this was given in the copper trade before copper was placed on the free list. American bar and sheet copper was at that time sold In England at such a low price that it would nave been highly profitable to the foreign purchaser to have paid the cost of shipping it back to the United States for sale here as a reentry of American goods, but, in order to avoid this, the American copper men in sisted, when they sold copper In England, that the original package in which it was shipped should be destroyed, the high duty under such circumstances preventing a re turn shipment. In this Instance there was no national sentiment exhibited; it was simply a question of trade conditions, and the American dealers In almost any exported commodity have shown themselves willing to charge their own countrymen twice the amount charged foreigners, pro vided that In that way they could obtain trade which would not otherwise come in to them. This same rule holds true all over the world, and the result Is that manufacturers in this country and manufacturers on the continent of Europe are able to make use of English shipping for the transportation of goods intended for foreign markets, in many instances on more advantageous terms than are offered to the English manufacturers. Clean. Detroit Journal. When quiet had been restored, the delegate in pink organdie with parasol to match, resumed: "Madame Chairperson." exclaimed the delegate, earnestly, "I feel the force of all that has been said concerning the necessity for us, the women of the nation, to nominate a clean candidate! I have the honor to present to you the name of such a candidate; one who was never known to wear the same shirtwaist more than three days at a stretch " Here all was again confusion, delegates crying out that the money power was trying to control them.

GREETING TO TEACHERS

EDUCATORS GIVEN A CORDIAL WEL COME AT LOS ANGELES. City Illuminated in Their Honor and Fruits and Punch Served to All National Council 3Ieetlna. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 10.-U is con servatively estimated that to-night there are 8,000 teachers In the city, and when the president's gavel falls to-morrow at the opening session of the National Educational Association convention this number will bo reinforced by large delegations from the East and one or two middle States. Indeed, not until Wednesday will the special from Chicago arrive. The New York delegates have telegraphed ahead that eighty rooms be reserved for them. It is confidently as serted that when registration Is completed there will be the names of over 10,000 teach ers on the rolls as being In attendance on the convention. The preparations for their reception are all completed. At 8 o'clock this evening:, at one instan taneoua flash, 10.000 incandescent and 500 arc lights twinkled welcome to the multitude that lined the principal streets, and there was In addition the ordinary lights and the efforts of the merchants, who have In very many instances lighted up their premises with lights in variegated colors. The park, on which the pavilion faces, and where the general sessions of the convention will be held, was made as bright as day, and a band is entertaining the throng that fills every avenue. When the work of the convention begins to-morrow It will be carried in specialized form, each department having Its own meeting place, an opportunity being thus af forded for the teachers to attend to the department work In which they have spe cial Interests and also participate in the various forms of recreation provided. The city teachers have kept open house at head quarters to-day and have dispensed luscious fruits, with fruit punch and lemonade, to the visiting teachers.. To-morrow will also be set apart as Los Angeles day, ard the local teachers will again receive their incoming guests. This evening between two hundred and three hundred of the visitors went on a spe cial excursion to Mount Lowe and after dark viewed the expanse beneath, dotted with towns, and in the distance the Pacific ocean in the light of the immense search light at the observatory. The descent was made and the party returned by 10 o'clock. But while sightseeing has monopolized the attention of some the attendance at the opening session of the Indian School Institute was large, there being nearly one thou sand teachers present. Major R. H.. Pratt. of the Carlisle school, was among those present and made a strong plea for the edu cation of the Indian children. Some of the boys from the Indian school at Perrls have recently been selected to form part of a band the government proposes sending to the Paris exposition. When the second session of the National Council of Education was called to order In the morning by President Taylor, prlnciyai ui me i.uriuai ocnooi at Emporia, jvan., there was a large attendance of deleeates. An interesting report on school hygiene was reaa oy lion. w. T. Harris, United States commissioner of education. A lengthy and comprehensive naDtr was read bv ProfCharles Keyes, principal of physiology, of uosion. on "Dinerentiatlon of the American School." The report of the committee on state normal schools, presented bv Prof. Z. X. Snv. der, president of the State Normal School at Greeley, CoL, dealt with the function of the normal school in relation to the facultv. those preparing to teach the child, the social mind of society and the subjects to be studied. Proft, L. D. Harvey, state superintendent of public instruction. Madison, Wis., read a paper on the subject, "Do We Need a University Trust?" At the evening session Dr. E. C. Wilt, of Bloomlngton, 111., read s.n Interesting paper on "Psychology for tho Teacher," basins his remarks on recent articles In the Atlantic Monthly and the Educational Review, Dy rror. Hugo Munster Berg, of Cambridge. Dr. Nicholas Murray T. Butler, of Columbia University, New York, read a paper on "The Educational Progress of the Year." There will be one more session of the National Council on Tuesday morning, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the National Edu cational Association convention proper will open. POSTOFFICE ECONOMIES. Warnings About Rubber Bands nnd Twine improvement in Postmarks. Washington Special in New York Post. Some Idea of tho magnitude of the postoffice business is furnished by the division of postorfice supplies in this city. More than thirty, different forms of printed let ters aro in use for answering such ques tions and making such requests as must be dealt with by the hundred. For example, a recently printed form, sent out to all postmasters who receive rubber bands. cautions them to exercise the strictest economy In their use. It is said at the supply office that rubber bands are now cost ing the department 47 per cent, more than they cost a year ago, and hence the need of caution to keen within the appropria tions. Another printed blank enjoins econ omy In the use of twine, caning attention to the fact that the new twine has greater tensile strength than that formerly fur nished, and so does not require as many wraps on package as heretofore. Postmasters are Instructed to return when emptv ail burlaps sent out with this twine, and a sharp watch is kept to see tnat tnis direction is complied with. A card enjoins pa tience In waiting for supplies which have been ordered. The saving in typewriter operatives by the use of these printed forms is enormous, ana they are printed so as to resemble the work of the typewriters used upon them to fill In the names and addresses. In this way the letters are probable quite as effective as if specially written for each occasion. The supply division supplies third and fourth-clas3 postpasters with blanks, scales up to four pounds, books, pens and ink ana postmarKlng and canceling apparatus, and first and second-class postoffices It furnishes with all the stationery, twine, printing and binding. blank books, scales of all kinds, and whatever else In the way of supplies may be nec essary. The division, therefore, deals directly with about 74.000 postoffices. besides the railway mail service and the Postoffice Department itself. The mall matter received and shipped from the division every day averages twelve tons, and about $300,000 is expended on it per annum. To the credit of thla Taranch of the service it may be said that while the increase within the last two years in the U9e of postal supplies has been about 33 per cent, and there has been besides some rie in the price of supplies, r.o increase has been made in the appropriation. Within the last two years great reforms have been made in its work, and these have offset the expanding needs of the service. A few years ago complaints were rife as to the imperfect postmarking of letters. Tnis evil had been so allowed to grow by neglect that It was found upon investigation that (10 per cent, of all the postmarking wis illegible. An inquiry was made a9 to the kin is of ink which would make the mo.t legible postmark, and a subdivision was organize ! for dealin? with the postmasters. They were each required to end an Impression of thir post-marking stamp, and the department then began to surply the offices with Inks and type better adapted to postmarking so that all complaints have now practically ceased. Trusts and the People. Boston Advertiser. Some American journals which have recently undertaken to defend the trusts ngainst public opinion in the United States urge as an argument that these organizations of capital are practically Indispensable to the nation which wants to do business In competition with manufacturing nations elsewhere. It is urged that other nations have found that trusts work more cheaply than competitive individual concerns can do. and therefore the inference Is made that if the United States makes the formation and work of trusts impossible the United States will work against its own commercial interests. There is undoubtedly much that is Important and logical in such a line of argument. If the premises are admitted to be correct the conclusion seems quite sound and certainly worthy of consideration. Yet the fact remains that the United States was gradually enlarging its commerce even before the trust movement had gained full swing, and It is also to be noticed that almost coincident with the progress of the trust movement there was some decrease in the amount of American exrarts. Hence those who urge that the trusts are indispensable to the growth of American commerce have -not fully proven their case as yet. Perhaps this Is Just as well, because if the argument were accepted as conclusive there is no reason to believe that the matter would be allowed to rest Juit there. If the American people were fully convinced that

MAY WRIGHT PKWALU Prlnoirai. the commercial salvation of the United States rested oi the possibility of getting all American Industries under the control of one power, the American people would probably net be satisfied to leave that control In the hands of a few very rich menr putting the public practically at the mercy of the men who had power over such tremendous aggregations of capital. On the contrary, the American peopi would probably go one step further, and In sist that ir all the industries or the unite States were to be brought together under single control, that control must be exercised bv the American people. The suc cess which the principle of municipal owner ship has had in certain large v esiera cities indicates that the American people, ence having made up their minds that trust were absolutely necessary, would Immediately conclude also that federal ownership was an accompanying necessity. THE COST OF CABLING. Cach Menage from Otis Costs $223 or About $72,(HX) Monthly. Chicago Journal. Each one of those optimistic little dls patches from General Otis costs the government about J225. The cable tolls are $2.25 a word, and these encouragers" average; about one hundred words In length. Sometimes they are a little longer. From May 15 to 23 an actual count of words gave a total cf S21. As It happened there was no casualty! lists in the dispatches counted, and, oc course, there were censored portion whichi had to be omitted from the count. Supposing the censored parts to amount to no mor than rive hundred words In a week, and adding a similar number of casualty lists) (which require a large number of words, and have to be sent in full) the total number of words received from ftls In a weelc would be in the neighborhood of two thousand. It is admitted by the War Department that as much goes to Otis in the way of inquiries, instructions, etc., as comcsj from him. This would bring up the correspondence to four thousand words a week Now, this does not Include the service messages sent and received by the commlssarjr and quartermaster general's departments.

Another contributor to the devastation of the world Is a New Jersey farmer told ot by the Philadelphia Itroord. who has mad a contract with a Philadelphia millinery firm to furnish crows' heads at 23 cents apiece. He has trapped scores of birds and robbed many nests and hatched the eggs In a chicken incubator. If the laws of New Jersey do not protect crows, it Is a lacte which should be supplied. There Is no mora valuable aid to the farmer, or indeed to thv. very existence of man on earth, than; the crow. He- takes costly toll sometimes; of crops, but his chief food, nevertheless.

This I now well proved, and enlightened legislation must protect the crow. An 1 phlll Flctht. Baltimore American. The automobile Is expected to do much In the fight for good roids.

That Is one reason why they are ro bitterly opposed. It is a trait of human nature to refuse the easy progress of what is best for it.
