Sometimes the vaudeville theater is an individual and independent enterprise; more often It belongs to a circuit. The patronage, expenses and receipts are enormous. One circuit will speak for all. It has a theater in New York, one In Philadelphia, one in Boston and one In Providence, and they give no Sunday performances; and yet these four theaters entertain over 5,000,000 people every year, give employment to 350 attaches and to 3.500 actors. Four thousand people pass In and out of each one of these theaters dally. Ten thousand dollars are distributed each week In salaries to the actors and 13.500 to the attaches. Take one theater for example, the house In Boston. It is open the year round and it costs $7,000 a week to keep it open, while its patrons will average 25.0CO every week. On a holiday It will piay to from 10.000 to 12,000 people. The Vaudeville Code of 3Iornls. Scribner's Magazine. The funniest farce ever written could not be done at these houses if it had any of the ear marks of the thing in vogue at many of our first-class theaters. Said a lady to me: "They (the vaudeville theaters) are the only theaters la New York where I should feel absolutely safe in taking a young girl without making preliminary inquiries. Though they may ottend the taste, they never offend one's sense of decency." The vaudeville theaters may be said to have established the commercial value of decency. This la their cornerstone. They are conceived with the object of catering to Iadiea and children, and, strange to say, a large, ' if not the larger, part of their audiences is always men. RESIGN," C03IMANDED MRS. S , And the Queen of the Holland Damei Did, Illcht in a Cable Car, Too. 'New York Journal. It took place In a Sixth-avenue "L" train Friday afternoon, and everyone in the car heard It. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, the moral reformer, was shaking her ringer in the face of "Queen" Lavlnla Dempsey, of the Holland Dames, and demanding that she resign as vice president of the Women's Industrial League, which intends to build a permanent exhibition in Washington, full of proofs of woman's progress. Mrs. Smith is the president of the league. The original vice president was Mrs. Washington Roebling. Ill health forced her to resign and her rlace was taken by Miss Dempsey. When Mrs. Smith met the Queen of the Holland Dames for the first time after her election she said openly: "No. I don't like her and I never shall. Why. she came to the meeting dressed in a red velvet dress, greasy down the front and covered with medallions and things. I'm not much myself In the way of costume, but I couldn't stand It. I tried to Veep her as much as possible in the background, but It was not a feasible proposition." Then the Queen of the Dames wrote a testimonial of the efficacy of a well-known medicine, and It was published with her full title of vice president of the league appended. "She must resign at once." said Mrs. Smith, and she went to Miss Dempseys home. She found Miss Dempsey leaving the hcu and they boarded an elevated train together. 'What you have done is beneath the dignity of the league." Mrs. Smith said, vehemently. She repeated the Idea many time, being so carried away that she rose from her seat, which was taken at once by a fat man, who thought she meant to got off. Mrs. Smith seized a trap with her rteht hand and gesticulated with her left. She pointed her finger in Miss Dempsey' face as if to denounce her to the alarmed passengers: "Resign!" h? said, hrr voice Quivering. "Ladles." said a graybeard. greatly perturbed, "can I be of nny Ft-rvi.-e? May I" Mr?. Smith perforate! him with a look nd he dropped timely into bis teat again. Bhe turned around to the Queen of the Holland Dames and repeated: "I request your resignation, madam; I must have it." Miss Dempsey gazed appealingly at the guard, a little old man with red muttonchop whiskers, who was dancing about on pins and needles. He looked at her as much ff to say, "Give it to her and end the squabble. He breathed a sigh of relief as the Queen of the Dames said: "It Is done; I resign." Thl ended the argument. The women left th train at Park place, but they went down different stairways. "What a womanl" said Miss Dempsey to the) guard. 8h res'gned." Mrs. Bmtth told the guard, triumphantly. "Cortlandt street next!" Mid he, as he Cammed the gates, happy that he had no tragedy to report to the trainmaster at Couth Ferry.

CLEARING IN THE EAST

EARLY SETTLE.MENT OF PHILIPPIXE PROBLEM EXFECTED. Admiral Dewey Will Hare a Great Opportunity 5 nccess in Cuba a Good Republican Argument. Washington Letter in Boston Transcript. A certain cloudiness In Philippine affairs now gives evidence of clearing away. It so happened that there were few spots on the globe of which the American people knew less when the Spanish war broke out than the Philippine islands. The events of the war In the far East were so sudden and bewildering that a very great number of Americans were hardly able at once to make up their rainds what they thought of It all. Stanch opponents of Imperialistic Ideas in any form at once sounded a salutary alarm. With equal promptness the aggressive annexationist announced his desire to have this country keep the Philippine Islands and everything else In sight. Between these two classes came a great body of American voters who were not originally committed strongly one way cr the other. They thought "expansion" might be a good thing, or it might not, according to circumstances. One day they would think It was wise and another day that It was not. The whole Philippine situation seemed to them much confused; If the American acquisition of those islands was to resemble the American acquisition of Oregon and Louisiana they would favor it; If it was to resemble certain conquests of old world empires, they were against it. Which of these two kinds of acquisition the new Philippine policy more closely approached they coula not at once decide. This was a question of fact and until they had more information they could not answer. This body of voters, it has all along been evident, hold the balance of power, so far as this Philippine question was concerned, and its settlement will depend on their final conclusions. THE LIGHT DAWNING. Indications here point strongly to the coming of the dawn for all of this class of Americans. Within the next few months several very important questions of fact ought to be settled. The men who know most about Philippine affairs and In whom the general public has largest confidence are gradually returning to this country. The Philippine commissioners will soon be at work on their final report. What that will be has doubtless been well foreshadowed In President Schurroan's interview, which has this week attracted to much attention. At all events, if he does not speak for the commission Its other members can speak for themselves. One of their number. Admiral Dewey, will have the great opportunity of his life to be of service to the American people if he can show them a wise solution of the Philippine problem. It is ordinarily taken for granted that army and naval officers like wars and foreign complications, and so that the array and navy should not be looked to for unprejudiced counsel upon matters in which tte range and opportunity of their professions are Involved. But Dewey has already given evidence that he takes a larger view than this of the Philippine question. To him the country looks for a calm and unprejudiced opinion. The appearance on the stand of a few witnesses of this sort will be of incalculable value in getting at the facts involved in the expansion issue. Such witnesses are now coming from many directions. The next few months will also see a trial of -the war programme. There is no longer any Alger to blame or failures. The War Department Is presided over by a forcible man of affairs, who is leaving no stone unturned to puh the military operations In the East with firmness and vigor. Even if General Otis Is not the greatest military genius of the age, in Generals Law ton and MacArthur the administration has great confidence. TJhey will probably do most of the fighting. Whatever becomes of Otis, and as yet the administration Is apparently in doubt what to do with him, he will not be allowed to handicap the officers under him to whom the administration will look chiefly for results. Everything is ready for the campaign. The people will soon have a chance 'to see what this line of policy will do, and by the results of this experiment their conclusions will be greatly influenced. ELECTIONS WILL TELL. Not least of the enlightening occurrences will be the fall elections. There has never been a good canvass of anti-Imperialist strength, nor could there be, because of the confused state of the public ramd on the Issues. But It will "be very easy to see in November, In the resultant of forces which our election returns always constitutewhere the Philippine policy comes In. Were there no Philippine question this would be a good Republican year. Ever since 1S93, and there are elections of some sort every November, the tide has 'been strongly with the Republicans. They nave carried three Congresses in succession, which they had not done before since the old South was restored to a real place in the Union. They have elected three Republican governors of New York in succession, Morton, Black and Roosevelt. They have control of the United States Senate by a majority almost unprecedented. They not only defeated Bryan In 1SD6 by a huge majority, but they have been driving back his forces ever since in the States which he then dominated. In short, the Republican party enters the campaign this fall in splendid shape. Nothing that really apfeals to the people strongly except the Philppine question could seriously influence tnls great tide In their favor, and It remains to be seen whether that will influence it adversely. A student of American politics who reached conclusions by pondering over the figures in the political almanac would have no hesitation in saying that everything was going Republican this fall: he would estimate that party's majority In Ohio at 50.000. in Iowa at 60.000. its majority in Nebraska at 10,000, In Kentucky at 50,000 and In Massachusetts at 60.000. Prosperity, the greatest of all arguments, is more than ever with the Republicans. Free silver, from which the Democratic organization cannot yet seem to secure a divorce on grounds of desertion, is completely discredited. In these circumstances there is nothing to occasion Republican alarm by the Philippine policy. And there are many persons who profess to believe this will prove an element of strength. At all events, when Congress meets in December both sides ought to know pretty well where they stand. The outcome of the military programme ought to-be In sight, as well as the verdict at the polls. THE CUBAN ARGUMENT. It Is strange that more attention has not been given in the Republican newspapers to the results of the Cuban experiment. The administration can certainly point to that with a great deal of pride, and although the Philippine islands are a rather large mouthful It might be argued from analogy that American rule would be ultimately as advantageous to them as that same rule has already proved itself in Cuba. A New York lawyer, an interview with whom was given in these dispatches yesterday, says that the sanitation of Havana has already improved so much that as far back as the Spanish records go there Is no evdence of so little yellow fever as at present. Whatever things he criticises now in Judicial procedure, in concessions and monopolies and the like are the acknowledged survivals of Spanish rule, which the American government has not yet had time to correct. Taken as a whole. Cuba presents a very agtceablo change from the conditions that have existed there through the centuries of Spanish rule. The persistent warfare at our very doors see ma to be over. The administration went into the Cuban war with considerable reluctance, but the results of the transfer of sovereignty from Spain to the United States, for during our guardianship that is practically what it amounts to. have been most gratifying. Who can say that a similar transfer in the Philippines may not eventually come out the same way? Tills Is something that is certainly worth considering. The November voters should be patient. IM1IAMWS OX TRUSTS. Remarks of Foulke and Fortune at Chicago Convention Approved. Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr. Foulke argues that If the States attempt to act separately, corporations will all Mock to those few commonwealths where they find the greatest immunity. If the national power Is to be Invoked it can only be done by amending the Constitution and placing all Industries under the power of Congress. But when Congress shall control all the elements of production throughout

the Nation state lines will become very shadowy thlnps. In his opinion. The total destruction of these aggregations of capital is morally impossible. Legislation cannot overthrow, but it may control and guide, and h believes, with Cockran. that publicity will do a great deal. He finds great danger In any attempt of the government to regulate prices and to permit those who have themselves little or nothing at stake to control the profits of the property of others. "To attempt such a thing to-day, with our Imperfect knowledge of the Infinitely complex forces of our industrial lite, would be little short of madness." There is a great deal of wisdom In this advico of Mr. Foulke. So far as the Inquirer is concerned, it cannot see how it is possible for legislation to prevent the formation of companies by men of capital, and so long as these companies are run under law they cannot be reached without doing violence to the Constitution. It is not the combinations as a whole that need regulation. It is only such as are represented by the Chlcabo Beef Trust, which Is now engaged In forcing up the price of meats, that need to be stopped, if there is any way of getting at them. Combinations that employ a great many men and make their profits through small margins, which can be done only by increased production, cannot be said to be inimical to the public's Interest. Those like the Beef Trust, that exist for the purpose of extortion, are the dangerous ones. If there is to be legislation of any kind it must be discriminating legislation. We are inclined to agree with William Fortune, president of the Indiana State Board of Commerce, that any action by either Congress or the different state legislatures must be conservative, for we are in the midst of an evolutionary problem, and radical measures might be revolutionary. There Is no doubt, as he suggests, that if capital heedlessly abuses power It will bring about its own destruction. In any event, this trust problem is one to be worked out very carefully. OUR NAVAL PROGRESS.

The United States Sow the Third Xa ral Power of the "World. Marine Review (Cleveland.) The greatest hero in the naval history of America returns from the victory that won him fame to find the navy of his country at the end of the first epoch of a development which for rapidity and scope is without a parallel among the nations of the earth. In the comparatively brief space of time since Admiral Dewey departed from this country for the Orient the tangible effective naval strength of the United States has increased almost one-third. Much of the Increasa, it is true, was necessitated by the exigencies of a suddenly precipitated war. The conflict, short In duration, would have been of inestimable benefit had the result been nothing more than the arousal of general public interest in the growth and welfare of the navy so strikingly portrayed by the addition since made to our fighting strength upon the water. To all intents and purposes the United States is now the third naval power of the world. Germany is a vigilant, active aggressive rival, whose energy in this direction, constantly fostered by a ruling power, may be expected to increase rather than diminish. Japan, the coming commercial power of the other hemisphere, is annihilating with giant strides the modicum of our supremacy. But for all that the United States will continue, for some time at least, to be excelled as a naval power by only Great Britain and France. The full strength of the navy of the United States now amounts to 312 vessels of all kinds, built and building. Of this number 1S9 are In the regular navy and 123 constitute the auxiliary force, for the accumulation of which we are largely indebted to the necessities of the SpanishAmerican war. Something of the pace at which we are moving forward may be Imagined when it is stated that roughly estimated the existing naval fleet represents an expenditure for construction of about ?123,000,000, and yet there are now under construction or awaiting formal acceptance v v the government more than half a hundred war vessels, the contract price for v.mch. exclusive of armor and armament, Is in the neighborhood of 140.000,000. The war almost doubled the aggregate of men on our war vessels. At its outset the complement was 12.500 men, but in the summer of 1S0S it reached the maximum figure of 24,123 men. Since that time it has of course decreased considerably, but the incoming Congress is expected to authorize a permanent naval strength of upwards of 20,000 men. Nor, in passing, should mention be omitted of the success which has attended the amalgamation of the line and staff. An experiment, watched by students of naval administration everywhere, its beneficial effects have been discernible Instantaneously. For the future bright hopes may be basied upon the most favorable of Indications. Congressmen have been spending the summer of 1839 in the study of naval science abroad. Places on the naval committee have been eagerly sought. Already a new atmosphere of liberality and intelligence characterizes the consideration of naval problems and affords ground for hopes that never again will the march of progress be retarded by such a lack of knowledge as made possible the late fiasco relative to the limitation of armor prices. New battleships, armored and protected cruisers are to be constructed. Each class is quite certain to mark a step forward in the science of building vessels of war. Rear Admiral George W. Melville declares to the Review that the new battleships should be of twenty knots speed: that they should carry large batteries of rapid-fire guns; have ample ccal bunker capacity and be fitted with triple screws radical, revolutionary measures, all, but vital In Influence if successful. Already the eyes of every naval officer across the Atlantic are upon us. Within the past month two of our new battleships have exceeded contract speed. The practicability of that most novel of Ideas the superinduced turrets of the Kearsarge will soon be put to the test. We are preparing to outdo the British in the thoroughness of our experiments with liquid fuel and wireless telegraphy. Finally we are investigating. the possibilities of the submarine boat and our conclusions will have enhanced value because they will be characterized by neither the enthusiastic optimism of the French or the cynicism of the conservative Britons. For well-rounded naval development every essential must be adequate. Thus there is no greater cause for congratulation than over the manner In which the shipyards of America have met the requirements imposed by new conditions. The past few years have seen no less than half a dozen firms actively engaged upon naval contracts, although their previous experience had been entirely confined to mercantile craft. Several of them, at the Initial attempt, constructed vessels which exceeded contract speed. Heretofore the powers have charged us with being deficient In the matter of diversity of strength in our naval fleet. This is true no longer, for with the completion of the vessels now on the stocks we will have more than half a. hundred torpedo boats and destroyers. Here, too, American builders have been daring, for who will contend that It was not venturesome to guarantee a speed In excess of thirty knots on a smaller displacement than has ever before been attempted by any shipbuilder the world over and that, too, when the contract is the first of the torpedo boat kind for the firm undertaking it? Even down to the details the United States navy will be unique. No other nation has found so appropriate a form of designation for Its fighting craft. Our States have given us names for two dozen, two score of our cities have namesakes in our navy and finally no less than thirty of our naval heroes have had their names commemorated by war vessels. It Is a novel navy and a magnificent one, and with Its strength considered Is the most interesting on the waters of the earth. She Stay Be Insured. Harper's Weekly. One of the newest privileges that has accrued to woman is the right to have her life Insured on even terms with man. We all think we know, without asking for statistics, that woman's stay In this world la as enduring as man's. We know there are seme risks such as chlld-rxarlng to which she is exposed, and from which man is exempt, but we know her habit, on an average, are rather better than man's, and that her life Is somewhat less exposed. Yet for some reason the life Insurance compai.ies have looked askance at her, and preferred not to risk their money on her prospects cf living, unless they got larger premiums than rcen pay. At last, it seems, they are comirg to a better mind on the subject. Some of the strongest companies have lately e'etermlned to insure women at the same-rates as men. though with certain limitations which the accident of sex seems to warrant. Married women are not considered safe risks for five years after marriage, r.d women under twenty and over forty-five are excluded; but in the main the more progressive companies are insuring women iir d men on the same terms.

C01XE OF OUR SIGNATURES ABE PRINTED OS to ARBUCKLE BROS., ond Pullman telescoped the first one and the day coach is a complete wreck. After Thirty-Six Years. WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 23. Mrs. Julian Benhard, a widow, living here, in looking over some old letters found a deposit certificate for 510,000 which her brother, W. L. Richardson, had placed in the Bank of Trenton, of Trenton, Tenn., to her credit Jan. 23, 1863. Young Richardson, when President Lincoln Issued his first call for troops, enlisted in the Twenty-second Illinois Regiment of Infantry. His father had Just died, leaving his children $10,000 in cash. Richardson had his money sewed up inside his uniform. In January, 1S63, he was detailed with a squad of men to do skirmish work and he deposited his money. $10,000 In United States currency, in the Bank of Trenton to the credit of his sister, then Julia Ann Richardson. He was wounded in February and sent home, where he died. He gave the deportt slip to his sister and she put It away. After the funeral the deposit check could not be found. Miss Richardson became Mrs. Bernhard. Her husband died several years ago and the fortune of the family long since disappeared. The Bank of Trenton is no longer in existence, but Mrs. Bernhard has employed attorneys here to bring suit against the stockholders, several of whom are still living, for S1O.O0O and interest at 6 per cent, for thirty-five years, amounting in all to J35.0CO.

Prof. Harlan L. Smith, of this city, has Just made the discovery near Vancouver, British Columbia, of ao Indian mummy, which he has shipped to New York. Prof. Smith thinks, and local archaeologists agree with him, that the mummy is probably hundreds of years old. It Is the most remarkable find of a two years search for native relics pursued by Professor Smith cn the Pacific coast. .A well-known New York millionaire whose interests were particularly la the Klondike two years ago subscribed a large amount of money to the Museum of Natural History for the purpose of carrying on an anthropological research on the Pacific coast. Professor Smith and hla staff are now about finishing their work, and the find that they made the other day is by far the most interesting of any discoveries ever made west of the Rockies. Professor Smith had been scouring the district around Harrison lake for two months previous to the find. The section is a well-known mining district, and the formation is of a limestone character. In which relics of soft material have been easily preserved. The mummy was found In a cave immediately alongside a trail leading up the mountain. Professor Smith and his men had passed the place dozens of times without ever noticing the possibility of the existence of a cave in the vicinity. A great mass of white limestone and granite formed the "hog's back" of the mountainside, and where the cave was found it was somewhat mossgrown and weather beaten. Big bowlders which scores of years ago had fallen from the mountain were piled up several feet in front of the cave, but one day in passing by Professor Smith noticed the smooth stones which blockaded the entrance to tho cave, and he immediately investigated. The face of the rock was covered with hieroglyphics of a strange, unreadable character and much defaced. The rest of the story is in Professor Smith's own words: "After using a pick a short time we had practically to blast the face of the rock away, as the cave had been hermetically sealed. The reason for this was perfectly apparent from what we found later. We lighted ourselves into the cave, which was perhaps twenty feet square and high enough for convenient standing room. I do not think that there had ever been any mineral found in the cave, but as the sunlight streamed In at the newly made opening the walls fairly blazed with crystal reflections. Around the side of the inclosure were shelves hewn out of the rock, and on one of these we found a sarcophagus which contained the mummy. The other shelves had evidently been Intended for like receptacles, but for some reason the cave had been sealed up when only one body had been deposited. "The sarcophagus was simply a stone box half as large again as an ordinary coffin, and without any top covering. Any one who has ever opened an Egyptian mummy case, no matter how many thousand years the subject has been disposed of this way, will always afterward recognize the peculiar odor, which was the same which emanated from the sarcophagus we found. The wrappings were of strange texture. From the neck downward there were fully a dozen folds ot a thick cloth composed half of hair and halt of stringy bark. I have seen the same sort of matting used by Indiana In Alaska. The face look very ala-

Uar to the ordinary Egyptian mummy, and was preserved as well as any of the mummies I have seen. "The particular feature of the ancient'a head was the high forehead, which makes me think that he was of the tribes who must have lived here before the fiat-faced, squat-headed Slwash Indians of the present, day. We unwrapped one hand, which, was shriveled up to mere skin and bone, some of the nails having already disappeared. "The mummy had been a tall man, of large proportions, another indication of his being of a different race from the Paclfio coast Indians, who are very short and do not average live feet. The mummy, by actual measurement, was over six feet tall, and was stood up for the purposes of measurement against a board near the cave. Around the ankles and wrists of the mummy were bands of silver, alloyed with come other metal, which went to show, with tho other trappings of the sarcophagus, that the man must have been a ruler o his people. "I think he must have been a member of tribes living In the Northwest before the forbears of the present race arrived as is generally conceded from tbe eastern Asiatic coast. The texture of the wrappings, as I have already mentioned, bore some evidence of a civilization at least a few degrees above the standard of savages." Prof. Smith's statements are corroborated by persons living in the district who havo examined the cave and have seen the mummy. When the news was announced in tho British Columbian press that a mummy had been found In British Columbia the papers that published the tory were ridiculed by those who professed a knowledge of such, matters. It was asserted that it was absolutely Impossible to preserve a dead body for any length of time, owing to the very damp climate of the Pacific coast. On the other hand, we have the positive statement of Prof. Smith that he has found the mummy; that he will have it on exhibition in the New York Museum, and tha statements of a half dozen men present when the mummy was discovered. ProL Smith declined to answer the newspaper critics or display the mummy, stating hia wcrd must be sufficient. Whether the Egyptian practice of preserving the dead for an indefinite length cf time) is a lost art on the Pacific coast la a question naturally suggested. Wat it ever a land of mummies, and if so, were the climatic conditions in that long-ago stage conducive to the preservation of human remains? Prof. Smith Is now In Secum, Ore,, looking ' up the particulars of some important discoveries there, and will return to New Tort in October.
