There's a girl across the way from, us whom I would like to know; I see her every evening as I wander to and fro; She sits demurely gazing from her win- dow into space. And I, enraptured, mark the beauty of her distant face. She's Just the girl across the vray; I do not know her name, (But I would give a 'fortune just ac- quaintanceship to claim- Sometimes when tired out and longing for a needed rest- When spirits droop and c'en my heart is hopelessly elepressed The glances that I get from her lend in- terest unto life, And then I calculate to see if I could keep a wife. She's just the girl across the way—an unknown axige! there; I've never seen a sweeter face, nor one that's half as fair. Since writing the above I've learned the maxim old is true That very often '•Distance lends enchant- ment to the view;" The /ace I deemed so fair and sweet doth charm my soul no more. I've learned that she is married to a husband no. ll i She's just the girl acro?3 the way, buc who could guess that she Is mother of seven children?— Gosh., "what fools we mortals be'" —Jerome P.

This year nearly 5.000 were received by Ambassador Choa.te; and there are more American tourists this year than from any other country at Homburg, Berlin. Dresden.

There has been aiuenormous increase in the con- struction of ships, but still there are so many Americans abroad that all of them do not find it easy to secure passage home. Dun's Index Number on September Ist v.-as 506.0U, making the cost of living"1.6 per cent, higher than on August Ist. The present range of values, based' on tlie per capita, consumption of Jl5O quo- tations, is higher than at any previous time this year, and only about fifty cents lower than the top point of 1000, when th'^ index number was at the high-water mark of the decade. Changes during the last month were exceptionally inter- esting-, since they faithfully reflect the only two untoward influences of the year. FoHowingr the usual method of classifi- cation, it appears that in breadstuffs tiiere was a rise of 4.4 per cent, in August, almost entirely elite to the advance in the price of corn, as other cereals varied litt!n. although beans and peas reached a hiirher level. The effects of the elecreaseel yield' of maize were more pronounced during the. early part, of August than at tho opening of i lie new month, and' wheat also reached a much higher level. These fluctuations were largely *iie to- speculation and> could not he maintained, in the face of corn ex- perts averaging" less than hnlf a million bushels weekly. Meats also advanced to an abnormally hfgrh point, surpassing all recent years. The gain for the month, however, was only n.bout what might be expected' in the" licht of corn prospects. Dairy andi garden products were slightly lower: the advance in ept^-s, apples, milk ami miscellaneous vegetables being more than balanced by the decline in potatoes, butter, cheese andi hay. A trifling- loss waa also recorded, in other articles of food., due to the decline in both raw andi refined sugar and hops. The small advance Ini the clothing class was the most gratifying of the month's variations. Here there was no specula- tive nor other unreal influence at work. Tust a whoir^ome expansion in demand for both cotton and woolen goods, and a small ri&3 in. the price of raw wool after a discouraging!:- long period of dulness. Raw cotton advanced on less favorable coneiitions in Texas, nnel great- er activity at th» mills. Silk reached the best price of the year, and goods were generally firm, while throughout all branches of textile and' kindred 'lines the situation distinctly improved. Boots and shoes were well maintained, but the net change in leather and! hides was downward, although the last week of Au- gust brought a partial recovery of earlier losses. A moderate advance occurred in ths rubber market. An advance of 4.9 per cent, in metals "-- mainly artificial. Owing 1 to the in- terruption In certain branches of the iron and steel industry by the strike, there was a general tendency to harden quo- tations. This was especially noticeable In tin plates, where the available supply was soon exhausted, and manufacturers of cans were forced to pay big premiums until imports could, be secured. Easier markets for the raw materials naturally prevailed* as .;e mills were consuming iess, and- both pig iron and tin weakened extensively. Another- factor in tlvs di- vlsion's rise was the advance In anthra- cite coal. In the miscellaneous class there was a smaM decline, mainly on nccount of the heavy fall In linseed! oil. Drugs also averaged lower, despite gains andT™ UemS> h u l Paper " lath ' turpentine and hemp were higher. -Dun's Review. Labor Notes. There are 000.000 union railroad men.

So, thinking:ho slays his beloved sister because she uttered words oi" treason, when he teul slain her lover. Rome is his only joy and pride, and Mr. Wardc achieved a distinct success in, the role, altHough it was one lacking in. human sympathy. At first the lusty, light- hearted youth -of Rome, when the ala- i rums of war rang out, lie? became tho patriot—almost the fanatic in his love of iiome, a«d ail affection was stilled in his breast. Mother, s^tr-r, sweetheart all were thrust aside and banished from his heart, and Rome, imperial Home, reigned forever in their sieaci. Mr. Warde's con- ception of the character was clear cut and well-defined, and he vivified that.con- » ceptlon. It was a great tribute to his | ability that he was uh)>} io rouse an-i j maintain Interest in a character of such a type. Lucius Curiatus, the nmancied lover of Horatia, the sisCer of Horatius, was admirably played by Charles D. Her- man and to him went 'out the sympathy of the audience.! Really the greatest character in the play war the sister, Ho- ratia, If her brother east away all hu- man ties for liis beloved Rome, she would that every Roman wen? a slave than that her lover should bo slain. Antoinette Ashton achieved a distinct success in this role. At n--st the sweet. gentle Roman maid, the life and sun- shine of a warrior's home, tho little sister for whom tho sturdy brothers would have gladly laid down their lives, soon love came' into her life, and frcrn tho chrysalis of youth emerged the perefect woman to whom love was all in all. Her scene in the fourth act, when she denounced her brother for slaying her lov^r. was one of the strongest in the play, and she played it with splendid effect. Virginia Drew Trescott was excellent r.s Cornelia, par- ticularly in the last act. The tinal net was very strong: and affcroV<] Mr. Warde his best* opportunities, although the act was originally badly arranged nnd the fore? of tho climax was lost. With the changes thai must be made, the action will be intensified and the nlay strength- ened. The literary qua]iiy\<s£ the play is good, as a whole, although the pruning knife ea.n be used to advantage on many of the lines, particularly th': numerous nsidep and Invocations to the Immortal pods, and Hie- faults are dun to a lack of knowledge of stage technique. The play was handp^mely mounted, and the pro- fluction seemed to please the audiences which witnessed the fir.«t presentations. 1 he support was good, but the play suf- fered badly from scarcity of supernu- meraries. THEATRICAIi TOPICS. Some monihs ago Jennie Eustace, Hen- ry Miller's leading lady ul the time, ad- ktitiised Tor a play with a. dominant wo- man's part. Over seventy plays were submitted, but scarcely one l'ullllled the chifl requirement. Among the plays sub- m.tced w.i.s one written Tiy un unknown author, but Miss Eustace saw at once that it was a splendid play for a male star. She sent the play to Wagenhals and Keinper. They accepted the play :.it once, named it '"Petticoats and Bayo- nets," and will use it in bringing forward their new star, Arthur Byron. * * Successful playwrights are well paid for their work. The dramatization "Trilby" earned in royalties $240,0 0. which amount was divided between Dv Maurier. the author; Paul Potter, tho dramatist, and Harper & Brothers, the publishers! Bronson Howard's "Shenan- doah" was a great money-maker. So was •The Girl 1 Left Behind Me." by David Belasco and Franklin Fyhs. Charles Hoyt made quite a fortune through h;s plays. nit-hough a largo part of this came from I his association In the production of tha plays. Clyde Fitch receives over $2,000 a week in royalties 1 from his plays now in use. William Gillette has alro received handsome reward from his playwriting. /• Harry D. Blaiemore, the popular come- dian of the Giffen Company, has joined the Woodward Stock Company, of Kan- sas Cit\\ Lucile La Verne is also a mem- ber o* the company.

She's just the girl across the way—anunknown axige! there;

Dun's Index Number on September Istv.-as 506.0U, making the cost of living"1.6per cent, higher than on August Ist.The present range of values, based' ontlie per capita, consumption of Jl5O quo-tations, is higher than at any previoustime this year, and only about fifty centslower than the top point of 1000, whenth'^ index number was at the high-watermark of the decade. Changes duringthe last month were exceptionally inter-esting-, since they faithfully reflect theonly two untoward influences of the year.FoHowingr the usual method of classifi-cation, itappears that inbreadstuffs tiierewas a rise of 4.4 per cent, in August,almost entirely elite to the advance inthe price of corn, as other cereals variedlitt!n. although beans and peas reacheda hiirher level.

The effects of the elecreaseel yield' ofmaize were more pronounced during the.early part, of August than at tho openingof ilienew month, and' wheat also reacheda much higher level. These fluctuationswere largely *iie to- speculation and> couldnot he maintained, in the face of corn ex-perts averaging" less than hnlf a millionbushels weekly. Meats also advancedto an abnormally hfgrh point, surpassingall recent years. The gain for themonth, however, was only n.bout whatmight be expected' in the" licht of cornprospects. Dairy andi garden productswere slightly lower: the advance in ept^-s,apples, milk ami miscellaneous vegetablesbeing more than balanced by the declinein potatoes, butter, cheese andi hay. Atrifling- loss waa also recorded, in otherarticles of food., due to the decline inboth raw andi refined sugar and hops.

The small advance Ini the clothing classwas the most gratifying of the month'svariations. Here there was no specula-tive nor other unreal influence at work.Tust a whoir^ome expansion in demandfor both cotton and woolen goods, anda small ri&3 in. the price of raw woolafter a discouraging!:- long period ofdulness. Raw cotton advanced on lessfavorable coneiitions in Texas, nnel great-er activity at th» mills. Silk reachedthe best price of the year, and goodswere generally firm, while throughout allbranches of textile and' kindred 'lines thesituation distinctly improved. Bootsand shoes were well maintained, but thenet change in leather and! hides wasdownward, although the last week of Au-gust brought a partial recovery of earlierlosses. A moderate advance occurredin ths rubber market.

An advance of 4.9 per cent, in metals"-- mainly artificial. Owing1 to the in-terruption In certain branches of the ironand steel industry by the strike, therewas a general tendency to harden quo-tations. This was especially noticeableIn tin plates, where the available supplywas soon exhausted, and manufacturersof cans were forced to pay big premiumsuntil imports could, be secured. Easiermarkets for the raw materials naturallyprevailed* as .;e mills were consumingiess, and- both pigiron and tin weakenedextensively. Another- factor in tlvs di-vlsion's rise was the advance In anthra-cite coal. In the miscellaneous classthere was a smaM decline, mainly onnccount of the heavy fall In linseed! oil.Drugs also averaged lower, despite gains

j However bound to me by tender tics,1 would let live to think a. single thoughtOf wrong toward Rome."

So, thinking:ho slays his beloved sisterbecause she uttered words oi" treason,when he teul slain her lover. Rome ishis only joy and pride, and Mr. Wardcachieved a distinct success in, the role,altHough it was one lacking in. humansympathy. At first the lusty, light-hearted youth-of Rome, when the ala-

irums of war rang out, lie? became thopatriot—almost the fanatic in his love ofiiome, a«d ail affection was stilled in hisbreast. Mother, s^tr-r, sweetheart

—all

—were thrust aside and banished from hisheart, and Rome, imperial Home, reignedforever in their sieaci. Mr. Warde's con-ception of the character was clear cutand well-defined, and he vivified that.con-

» ceptlon. Itwas a great tribute to his|ability that he was uh)>} io rouse an-ij maintain Interest in a character of such

a type. Lucius Curiatus, the nmanciedlover of Horatia, the sisCer of Horatius,

was admirably played by Charles D. Her-man and to him went 'out the sympathy

of the audience.! Really the greatestcharacter inthe play war the sister, Ho-ratia, Ifher brother east away all hu-man ties for liis beloved Rome, she

would that every Roman wen? a slavethan that her lover should bo slain.

Antoinette Ashton achieved a distinctsuccess in this role. At n--st the sweet.gentle Roman maid, the life and sun-shine of a warrior's home, tho little sister

for whom tho sturdy brothers would havegladly laid down their lives, soon lovecame' into her life,and frcrn tho chrysalisof youth emerged the perefect woman to

whom love was all in all. Her scene inthe fourth act, when she denounced herbrother for slaying her lov^r. was one ofthe strongest in the play, and she played

it with splendid effect. Virginia DrewTrescott was excellent r.s Cornelia, par-ticularly in the last act. The tinal netwas very strong: and affcroV<] Mr. Wardehis best* opportunities, although the act

was originally badly arranged nnd thefore? of tho climax was lost. With thechanges thai must be made, the actionwillbe intensified and the nlay strength-

ened. The literary qua]iiy\<s£ the play is

good, as a whole, although the pruningknife ea.n be used to advantage on many

of the lines, particularly th': numerousnsidep and Invocations to the Immortalpods, and Hie- faults are dun to a lack ofknowledge of stage technique. The play

was handp^mely mounted, and the pro-fluction seemed to please the audienceswhich witnessed the fir.«t presentations.1he support was good, but the play suf-fered badly from scarcity of supernu-meraries.

THEATRICAIi TOPICS.Some monihs ago Jennie Eustace, Hen-

ry Miller's leading lady ul the time, ad-ktitiised Tor a play with a. dominant wo-man's part. Over seventy plays weresubmitted, but scarcely one l'ullllled thechifl requirement. Among the plays sub-m.tced w.i.s one written Tiy un unknownauthor, but Miss Eustace saw at oncethat it was a splendid play for a malestar. She sent the play to Wagenhalsand Keinper. They accepted the play :.itonce, named it '"Petticoats and Bayo-nets," and will use it in bringing forwardtheir new star, Arthur Byron.
