NATIONAL THEATER.
Details of One to Be Founded by
Social Leaders.
OONBIED WILL BE AT ITS HEAD
PUrhome Alone to Be Erected In
Hew York Will Coat *2,000,000.
Foyer Will Be One of the Finest Art
Galleries In America Except the
Metropolitan—Social Censorship on
the Boxes.
With a subscription In all of $3,000,-
000 from thirty wealthy New York
men prominent In finance, patrons of
art and stanch supporters of grand op
era at the Metropolitan Opera House;
with the purchase of the entire block
front from Sixty-second to Sixty-third
street, facing Central Park West; with
plans ordered for aJbuperb theater to
cost $2,000,000, containing an Immense
foyer which Is to be decorated by fa
mous painters and sculptors of the
United States and Europe and be en
riched with treasures, making It the
greatest art gallery of New York, with
the exception of the Metropolitan Mu
seum of Art; with a committee of wo
men who are leaders in New York so
ciety and who are to decide who shall
be accorded boxes In this artistic and
•odaLrival to the “goldenhqrsei
of the Metropolitan—with tbetiSj
other details quietly arranged Amerf
Cat’s National theater, long dreamed of,
has been founded in New York, with
Heinrich Conried at Its head.
The plans and aims and general de
tails of the establishment of a theater
to do for the drama in the United
States what the Theatre Fraueais has
accomplished for France or the Burg
theater for Germany were explained
recently to a reporter for the New
York Herald by a well known financier
whose patrouuge of artistic efforts lu
America has caused his name to be
widely known. He has been a
mnndlng factor in this the most impor
tant move ever made In the Interest of
the stage in America.
“For some years,” he said, “there has
been much and earnest talk about the
founding of a national theater, which
has been sadly needed, but its worthy
promoters were not equipped with
financial means toward Its accomplish
ment. Nor were they—with due apolo
gies to them—working along rational
lines from a combined educational,
artistic and ‘amusement’ point of view,
calculated to win general popular sup
port—the support of the entertainment
seeking masses as well as the artistical
ly Inclined few.
“I and other men blessed with means
and an Inclination to bring about a
dramatic ‘consummation devoutly to be
wished' met Heinrich Conried and talk
ed it over with him. We talked It
over with him confidently because we
had observed bis work on the Irving
Place theater stage and in the Metro
politan Opera House. Perhaps every
body does not know it, but after he
had been a leading man and star up
on the local German stage—the old
Thalia theater In this city (New York!
—and started managerial efforts on his
own account be faced difficulties and
won success against obstacles that
were heartbreaking.
“We noticed all this, and when he
was transplanted to the Metropolitan
Opera House we saw hJm rise to his
greater opportunities. All this showed
us that the artistic bent, the business
acumen and broad views of the man
were those qualities which were want
ed to found a national theater which
we knew he bad bad at heart this long
time.
“To make a long story abort, a num
ber of gentlemen were approached, and
It was at once found that they were
heartily Interested In the project. I
need not mention them all, but may
say that among them were Clarence
Mackay, Henry Morgenthau, James
Speyer, James Stillman, Daniel Gug
genheim and many others.
“The plan was that thirty gentlemen
should subscribe $100,000 each, and for
their investment they should have as
collateral, as It were, a site to be pur
chased for about $1,000,000 and the
theater to cost $2,000,000 more. The
thirty were readily found. In fact,
we can make it forty If we choose.
The block from Sixty second to Slxty-
*Mr<L street, Central park West; was
purchased, and plans will be given out
shortly for the finest theater In Ameri
ca. It will be begun next spring and
will take over a year to complete. It
will be large, but only large enough
to make It best adapted to dramatic
performances and opera comique. The
prices, by the way, will be from 25
oenta to $2. The stage will be up to
date, and the interior decorations will
be superb, but artistic.
“The foyer will be one of the finest
art galleries In America, barring the
Metropolitan museuin. Famous sculp
tors and painters of this country and
Europe will provide mural and other
decorations, and fr- these and art ob
jects for the foyei > 50,000 will be ex
pended.
“There will be thirty boxes, and In
order to insure that the box shall be so
cially select A committee of women
prominent In New York society will
pass upon the names of the applicants
dor a box in permanency, which will
cost $100,000. As In the Metropolitan,
a box bolder will own a share In the
theater property. No one will be per
mitted to own a box unless accepted
by the committee. I may say that the
entire thirty can be disposed of Im
mediately.
The company will be the best that
unlimited money can command. The
repertory will comprise new and old
plays of genuine worth and thorough
Interest, but unexceptionable In morals,
using the word rightly, and played In
perfect manner.
“Hie theater will be an authority In
~,cUng. It will aim at purity in
rlajUqp** passed .upon
difference of Oplfiion
by a committee from Yule, Harvard,
Columbia and Princeton. A commit
tee of urtists will be’consulted as to
scenery and costumes. Another com
mittee will pass upon points of eti
quette to root out bad munners fre
quently seen on the stage. These are
details, but they show we have thought
It all out carefully.
“The season will be thirty weeks.
There will not be any long runs. Ten
plays will be produced the first year
and ten each year following, and on
two nights each, week there will be
opern comique—not ‘comic opera,’ as
Broadway unhappily knows It, but
genuine, delightful opera comique, with
artists drawn from Paris, Berlin, Vien
na and other foreign cities, as well
home singers and a contingent from
the Metropolitan Opera House."
THE PEANUT CLUB.
Unique Ohio Organisation Formed by
Society Girls.
“I'll bet you haven't a club in this
town that can hold a caudle for orig
inality to the one we have In Lorain,”
observed William Nixon, a business
man of that Ohio town, who wus at the
Griswold House in Detroit recently,
says the Detroit Free Press.
“They call It the Peanut club," he
continued, smiling, “and to be eligible
one must have rolled a peanut from
Dexter street to the loop, North Broad-
way, which Is up through the business
section of the town. Oh, it's a great
club. The members are all society
girls, and I understand that the coming
winter the initiation will be changed
slightly to Include the novitiate blow
ing x feather in frotat of her while
propelling the peanut with her left
foot Great town, Lorain."
WORLD’8 BETTER CONSCIENCE.
The world is In & serious mood
these days. In all walks of life—even
perforce, within the giddy whirl of
“society”—may be detected a new
gravity of thought and an unwonted
alterness to the moral and social po
litical significance of the signs of the
times, says the Philadelphia Press.
Wherever men and women assem
ble one is likely to hear thoughtful
discussion if the pending insurance;
financial and political revelations. It
L said that at the recent meeting of
FIXING MINIMUM PRICES .
We printed yesterday the views of
a prominent cotton merchant of Sa
vannah in which doubt was expressed
as to the wisdom of the step takon by
the sea island cotton growers in mak-:
Ing the minimum price at which theyj
propose to sell the balance of their
crop of cotton about five cents per
pound above the present quotations
This authority seemed to think that
the Jump was too great and that the
growers would not stand together in
trying to enforce their demands
Of course, it depends upon the
growers to a very large extent what
kind of prices prevail for the balance
of the cotton crop. If they try to
push their crop upon a market which
does not want it low prices will be
the result. If they hold their croj
back until the market of the world
begins to hunger for it, they will get
their own prices for it. The scarcity
of the product and the demand for
it Is wh&t fixes the price. If the farm
ers carry over a large percentage ot
their cotton from this season to next
season they will have to make a big
cut In the acreage next year In order
to make their policy effective.
It was the largely reduced acreage
which put the club In the hands of
the upland cotton growers this year.
When the spinners began to read the
religious leaders .,|i^.5Jew York city
there was scarcely one* among the to dawn upoJ^^B'that the cotton
hundred-odd speakers who did .not growers were l^earnest the price of
make come more or less extended al
lusions to the present unmasking of
graft. This is but one of many evi
dences that tne revelations which
each day’s newspapers bring to' the
public are being weighed In all their
import and phases.
The news of world politics, and es
pecially the news of the grewsome
page of history that Is being written
In red by benignted Russia, increases
the seriousness of the public think-
the staple began to advance and it
has gone forward or backward just
in proportion as the reports have In
dicated a large or small crop. The
sea Island growers, In order to make
their organization effective, must
crente a more active demand for their
products.
They enn do this by Improving the
staple and making a grade of cotton
that Is always in demand and which
has no competitor in the upland long
MAN FASHION'S SLAVE.
Bo Saya Sira. Fiah, Who Scores Him
For* Wearing a Derby.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has come to
the rescue of her sex by flaying men
for following fashion blindly, says the
New York Times. Bbe saye:
“Talk about slaves of fashion. We
women are not in it with the men.
They wear straw or felt hats, accord
ing to a certain date, and pay no at
tention to the weather or to their own
comfort. But that Is not all. For years
they've clung to the derby fashion be
cause It Is the style, and If there's an
uglier, more uncomfortable or more
unhealthfnl hat than a derby I don’t
know what It is.
“There’s not one man In a thousand
to whom such a bat Is becoming. But
tall men and short, big headed men and
small headed men, fair men and dark
men, all stick on derbies and walk
around with a self satisfied air.
If fashion decrees a narrow brim
derby, all men wear narrow brim der
bies regardless of the fact that the
narrow brim makes the round face
look like a full moon. If broad brims
are the fashion, every man wean a
broad brim, although It makes the thin
featured man look like a scarecrow. If
fashion says brims shsll roll sharply st
the sides, even the man with large ears
wears a sharp, roiling brim, although
he must know that It makes him look
like a *yellow kid*
“Women will mind fashion so long
as it dictates something becoming,
but they will refuse to look like frights
to please It But the men follow It
blindly and devotedly, no matter at
what sacrifice to their looks. And ev
ery fall I wonder what has become of
the handsome men until I remember
that the ugly hat season has come up
on them.”
As we understand Senator Platt’s
testimony, those insurance officials
just Insisted upon sending money
around to his office about election
time .and he did not have the heart
to offent them by refusing it.
ing. Men are asking what those staples. They must reduce their
things mean. They are burnishing | yield to a point within the demands

principles and relative values. The
Decalogue is having fresh vogue.
The virtues of the days of plainer
living are looming larger as certain
late and unlamented kings of finance
are being stripped to the hide and
left naked and shivering in the cold
glare of public contempt.
It would seem as if tMTs were the
day of the demagogue's opportunity.
Yet, as an obvious matter of fact,
the present grave conditions are be
ing considered with a lack of pas
sion, a self-restraint and*a thorough
ness that do not, however, conceal
the Intense earnestness and alert
ness of the public mind. The quiet
resolution which marks the temper
of the people Indicates how deeply
the spiings of feeling have been stir
red. The times are portentlous.
The annual report of the peniten
tiary of Mississippi, with its various
branches has by its farms and other
Institutions cleared over $108,000.
The plan of working the coqvlcts on
the various farms has proved most
satisfactory. In addition to the mon
ey earned 5,000 acres of new land
has been cleared and prepared for
farming purposes.

be able to live more at home and
with less debt hanging over them for
their cotton crop. They must raise
their own supplies to a greater extent
With the# smoke houses and corn-

The result 1 of the fight which they
have on hand now depends upon how
closely tljpjr stand together and how
determined they are In the matter of
keeping their cotton out of the mar
ket.
R>lw> of Hnaalan Prisoner*.
Many touching scenes were witness

ers were released under the amnesty
decree. At the Schlusselburg fortress,
where the most duugerous political
prisoners are kept lu solitary confine
ment, a great concourse gathered, look
ing for loved ones who vanished years
ago and whose whereabouts were

Disappointed women waiting for sons,
husbands or brothers broke down and
wept. A man named Frulenko and a

twenty years lu prison came out with
