"The Explorers," the new musical comedy that is to be presented at English's to-morrow nicht by the Dearborn Theater company of Chicago. Is the work of Bert Leston Taylor, a Chicago writer, and Walter If. Lewis, an Eastern composer. Its story starts in a lithograph of Mazie Fields, queen of an Iowa corn carnival. The picture has found it way to Madagascar and the natives have raised it on an altar and worship it as their goddess. S. Max Nix, an explorer, sets the picture, falls in love with the face and determines to find the Ftibject. This is in the first act. Mazie besides being beautiful is interested in exploration, and when Nix writes to her she replies encouragingly. One Bonaparte Hunter, a professor of boneology and a peroxide of hydrogen salesman, happens in Mazie's town and gets a telegram from her to Nix. Th9 latter has been invited by Miss FullerPrunes to lecture before the local Women's Science Club. His and Hunter's identities become mixed and the rest of the farce is devoted to comic untancling of the matter. "The Burgomaster" will be acted by the same company on Friday night. Knox Wilson. Richard Carle. Agnes Paul and Euella Drew are among the principal members of the company. XXX Some of the supporting members of Mrne. Modjesks. and Louis James's company are Wadsworth Harris, Norman Hackett, John Hons, Thomas Cooke and Mrs. Wells. The company will act "Mary Stuart" at Engllsh's on Saturday afternoon and "Henry VIII" on Saturday night. XXX May De Sousa, who is singing at the Grand Opera House, was chosen by "Bathhouse John" Coughlin, the well-known Chicago alderman, to sing his ballad, "Dear Midnight of Love." It was presented to the public at the Chicago Opera House by orchestra, chorus and Miss De Sousa. She paid yesterday: "My father, who is a Chicago politician, is a great friend of Mr. Coughlin's. Of course that had a great deal of influence with him, but I guess that he never regretted it, because I scored a hit. It made both the song and myself famous. Every place that I go I hear some one say, 'Why, she is the girl that sang "Bathhouse John's" song. Since that time I have received many flattering offers from managers. I have been on the stage a little ovr a year, and I have had a part in 'The Chaperones.' was understudy for Alice Neilsen and now I am in vaudeville. I think that is doing a great deal for the short time that I have boen in the business. I have yet to have a manager refuse me an engagement. The reason that I do not sing 'Dear Midnight of Love" in this city is because I was told not to. I was told by performers that have been here that the audiences are very critical, and I was afraid that the song was just a little too much on the popular order. The Grand audiences have a reputation all over the country for encouraging actors that tend to eievate vaudeville. This Is my first visit to this city, and I want to thank the people for the kind way in which they have treated me." Stuart Hobstin Talks to Ctiitlentn. CHICAGO, April S. Stuart Robson and the students of the . Chicago Musical and Dramatic College indulged in what the comedian termed an "interchange of talk" this afternoon. Some eight hundred persons wore present. Mr. Robson said he llieved the ttage was capable of exerting greater good than the pulpit, and that the more progressive clergymen of the day agreed with him. "The trouble Is that some clergymen confound the stage of Jefferson ami Irving and their fellows with the disreputable stage, and so condemn us all," continued Mr. Robson. "You might as well condemn the printing press because it sometimes strikes off had books, or condemn the pulpit because a minister or a deacon sometimes falls into evil ways. Pure, wholesome plays, and players of clean, moral lives are as great a factor for pood as all the creeds and all the churches Forty years ago I was banished from Delaware because I was on, of the player folk: nearly lift y years ago l was arrested l:i the university city of New Haven because I could not pay a license of $S, my night's receipts being but $15. and I was Kept in Jail two days, when the late Noah Porter, prt sldent of Yale, who was then I'fglnning to s-e the light, ma.le up the difference and I was released from prison. All that is changed now. and the actor of repute is no longer an object of ridicule, corn and even abhorrence." Asked by a studtnt why it was some actors seemed content to play one. part year after ear, Mr. Robson took occasion to ray eloquent tribute to Joseph Jefferson. 3!e aaM that this generation of playgoers did not realize, perhaps, that Jefferson was the greatest of American comedians sir.ee Burton because he had become s. identif.ed with (he character of Rip Van Winkle. Jefferson h ik tried time and time again to how the public his versatility, but the pubHe his doomed him. enslaved him to that one part. Just as it doomed Frank Mayo, a truly screat actor, to the character of Davy Crockett. Asked what actors thought of the BiconFhakspeare controversy, the veteran comedian replied: "They think nothing about It" "I have read some of Lord Bacon's po

etry." he said. "and. while I can't swear Shakspeare did not write his own plays. I can swear Lord Bacon didnt write them."

The deaths from typhoid fever were caused almost exclusively by drinking water polluted with human filth. The decrease In diphtheria deaths is due to the use of antitoxin, says the report. There was a decrease of ninety-three deaths from cancer, but the report says it is necessary to learn the cause of cancer before a method can be discovered for its prevention. There were comparatively few deaths from smallpox, but the time and money annually lost in handling this loathsome and preventable disease cannot be less than several millions, says tho report.

CECIL RHODES'S IDEAS

LETTER WRITTEN nY THE (LOSSI'S" TO W. T. STEAD I ltMK). Amerlean-IlritUh Federation for the Promotion of Pence and the AVorld "Welfare Proposed. SECRET SOCIETY SUGGESTED ONE ON LINES OF THE J ESI IT ORDER FAVORED BY RHODES. Other Novel Propositions Advanced, Such an a Commercial War with Tariff-Wall Countries. LONDON, April 8. An article on Cecil Rhodes by William T. Stead will appear in the forthcoming number of the American Review of Reviews. The article, excerpts from which follow, consists of a frank, powerful explanation of Cecil Rhodes's views on America and Great Britain and for the first time sets forth his own Inmost aims. It was written. by himself to W. T. Stead in ISO). For originality and breadth of thought it eclipses even his now famous will, yet it is merely a collection of disjointed ideas, hurriedly put together by the Collossus as a summary of a long conversation held between himself and Mr. Stead. In those days Mr. Stead was not only one of Mr. Rhodes's most intimate friends, as indeed he was until the last, but also his executor. Mr. Stead's name was removed from the list of the trustees of Mr. Rhodes's will only because of the war, which forced the two men into such vehement political oppo sition. Of this episode Mr. Stead says: Mr. Rhodes's action was only natural and, from an administrative point of view, desirable, and it in no way affected my attitude as political confidant in all that related to Mr. Rhodes's world-wide policy.' In its three columns of complex sentence the whole philosophy of Mr. Rhodes's in ternational and individual life is embraced. Perhaps it can best be summarized as n argument in favor of the organlzatioa of a secret society on the lines of the Jiuit order, for the promotion of the peace and welfare of the world, and the establishment of an American-British federation with absolutely home rule for tha component parts. "I am a bad writer," said Mr. Rhodes in one part of what might be called his confessions; "but, through my ill-connected sentences you can race the lay of my ideas and you can give my idea the literary clothing that is necessary." But Mr. Stead wisely refused to edit or dress it up, saying: "I think the public will prefer to have these rough, hurried and sometimes ungrammatrical notes exactly as Mr. Rhodes scrawled them off, rather than have them supplied with literary clothing by anyone else." KEY TO HIS IDEA. Mr. Rhodes commenced by declaring that the "key" to his idea for the development of the English-speaking race was the foundation of a "society copied, as to organization, from the Jesuit," combined with "a differential rate and a copy of the United Slates Constitution," wrote Mr. Rhodes, "is home rule, or federation." An organization formed on these lines, in the House of Commons, constantly working for discentralizatlon and not wasting time on trivial questions raised by "Dr. Tanner, or the important matter of O'Brien's breeches, would. Mr. Rhodes believed, soon settle the all-important question of the markets for the products of the empire. "The labor question," he wrote, "is important, but that is deeper than labor." America, both in its possibilities of alliance and its attitude of commercial rival, was apparently ever present in Mr. Rhodes's mind. "The world with America in the forefront," he wrote, "is devising tariffs to boycott your manufacturers. This is the supreme question. I believe that England, with fair play, should manufacture for the world, and being a free trader, 1 believe that, until the world comes to its senses, you should declare war, I mean a commercial war, with those trying to boycott your manufactures. That is my programme. You might finish the war by a union with America and universal peace after a hundred years." But towards this millennium Mr. Rhodes believed the most powerful factor would be "a secret society, organized like Loyola, supported by the accumulated wealth of those whose aspiration is a desire to do something," and who are spared the "hideous annoyance" daily created by the thought as to which "of their incompetent relations" they should leave their fortune. These wealthy people. Mr. Rhodes thought, would thus be greatly relieved and be able to turn "their ill-gotten or inherited gains to some advantage." PERSONAL FEELING. Reverting to himself Mr. Rhodes said: "It is a fearful thought to feel you possess a patent and to doubt whether your life will last through the circumlocution of the patent office. I have that inner conviction that if I can live I have thought out something that is worthy of being registered in the patent office. The fear is shall I have time and opportunity; and I believe with all the enthusiasm bred in the soul of an inventor that it Is not self-glorification that I desire, but the wish to live and register my patent for the benefit of those which I think are the greatest people the world has ever seen, but whose fault is that they do not know their strength, their greatness or their destiny, but who are wasting their time in minor or local matters; but, being asleep, do not know that through the invention of Fteam and electricity and in view of their own enormous increase they must now be trained to view the world as a whole, and not only to consider the social questions or the British isles. Even a. I.abouchere, who possesses no sentiments, should be taught that the labor of England is dependent on the outride world and that as far as I can see the outside world if he does not look will boycott the result of English labor." Once again the personal feelings of the man crop out. "They are calling the new country Rhodesia." he wrote. "I find I am human and should like to be living after my death. Still, perhars if that name is coupled with the object of England everywhere it may convey the discovery of an idea which ultimately led to the cessation of all wars and one language throughout the world, the patent being the gradual absorption of wealth and human minds ot the higher order of the object." Here Mr. Rhodes used the sentence cabled to the Associated Irens in Mr. Stead's article of April 4: "What an awful thought it Is that if even now we could arrange with the present members of the United States assembly and our House of Commons the peace of the world would be secured for all eternity. We could hold a federal parliament five years In Washington and five years in London." Mr. Rhodes added: "The only thing feasible to carry out this id a Is a secret society gradually absorbing the wealth of the world to be devoted to such an object. There is Baron Hirsch," Interpolated Mr. Rhodes, 'with S20,X0,000, very soon to cross the unknown border and struggling- In the dark to know what to do with his money, and so one might go on ad infinltim." RHODES'S DREAM. There was Mr. Rhodes's dream of transatlantic greatness. 'Fancy," he says, "the charm to young America just coming on and dissatisfied, for they have rilled up their own country and do not know what to tackle next, to share in a scheme to take the government of the who'.e world. Their present President (Mr. Harrison) is dimly seeing it, but his horizon is limited to the new world. North and South, and so he

would Intrigue In Canada. Argentine and Brazil to the exclusion of England. Such a brain w;.nts but iittle to see the true solution. He is still groping in the dark, but very near the discovery, for the American has Iven taught the lesson of home rule and of the success of leaving the management of the local pump to the parish beadle. He does not burden his House of Commons with the responsibility of cleansing the parish drains. The present position of the English house is ridiculous. You might as well expect Napoleon to have found time to have personally counted his dirty linen before he sent it to the wash and to have recounted it upon its return. It would have been better for Europe if Napoleon had cairied out his Idea of a universal monarchy. He might have succeeded if ke had hit upon the idea of granting selfgovernment to the component parties." Dealing with the "sacred duty of the English-speaking world of taking the responsibility for the still uncivilized world." and commenting on the necessary departure from the map of such countries as Portugal. Persia and Spain, "who are found wanting." Mr. Rhodes said: "What a scope! What a horizon of work for the next two centuries for the best energies of the best people in the world." On the matter of tariffs Mr. Rhodes was characteristically positive: "I note," he wrote, "with satisfaction that the committee appointed to inquire into the McKinley tariff reports that in certain articles our trades have fallen off 50 per cent. Yet the fools do not see that If they do not look out they wiil have England shut out ami isolated, with 40.om.ou) to feed and capable of internally supporting about 6.000mi. If they had a statesman they would at the piesent moment be commercially at war with the United States, and would have boycotted the raw products of the United States until she came to her senses; and I say this because lama free trader. Your people have not known their greatness. They possess one-fifth of the world, and do not know it ir. slipping away from them. They spend their time in discussing Mr. Parnell and Dr. Tanner, the character of Sir Charles Düke, compensation for beer houses, and omne hoc genus. Your supreme question at present is the seizure of the labor vote for the next election. Read the Australian bulletins and see where undue pandering to the labor vote may lead you. But at any rate the eight-hour question is not possible without a union of the Englishspeaking world; otherwise you drive your manufacturers to Belgium. Holland and Germany, just as you have placed a great deal of cheap shipping trade in the hands of Italy by your stringent shipping regulations." Here this "political will and testament." as Mr. Stead calls it, abruptly breaks off. Mr. Stead, commenting on this, says: "It is rough and inchoate and almost as uncouth as one of Cromwell's speeches, but tne central Idea glows luminous throughout. Its ideal is the promotion of racial unity on the basis of the principles embodied in the American Constitution."

FORM 11V KIPLING. Ills Tribute In Verse to the Master Mind of British Sonth Africa. LONDON, April 9. The Times this morning publishes a four-stanza poem by Rudjard Kipling, which is to be read at the interment of Cecil Rhodes to-morrow. The second stanza is as follows: "Dreamer devout, by visions led Beyond our cuess or reach The "travail of his spirit bred Cities in place of speech. So huge the all-mastering thought that drove, So brief the term allowed, Nations, not worlds, he linked to prove His laith before the crowd."
