"The Tenderfoot," by ' far the brightest, breeziest and best of all the operatic comedies will be the offering t the Academy Katurady, matinee and night. In presenting "The Tenderfoot" to his 'many patrons Manager Keesler,' of the Academy, feels Justly proud of the fact that this Is rne first time In Its history ffnls truly great attrac- j tlon has appeared at these prices. It was only after long and careful nego tiations with 'Tim Tenderfoot man ager, Wm. P. Cullen, that he Was In veigled Into this special arrangement. The terms offered were most liberal ui the part of tnc manager and final ly contracts were signed to bring- the same big production and company here Intact, so with an entire new costumo embellishment and a com plete scenic environment, "Tho Ten derfoot" contains more genuine musi cal composition than a half a dozen no-called mimical comedies combined. H. L.. Hearts In responsible for the many catchy, merry jingling: airs throughout the piece, which simply efforesce with original music. Amongst mat)) of tho popularly remember ed songs are "My Alumo Love," "The Tale of the Tortured Thomas Cat," "Adieu." "The Soldier of Fortune." Kiss." "I'm a Soldier of Fortune." "Fascinating Venus," "I'm a Peace able Party." and fne atirring finale of the second act when the rangers march away to fight tho hostile In dian 'Tho Tenderfoot" la a purely oper atic comedy. It does not require slap stick nor vulgar horseplay to obtain' laughter, but on the contrary quiet. Uialnt action and talent are esaenttal ly necessary, so cleverly 'nas the piece been written.

LINEAGE OF FAMOUS ACTORS. In no other line of human en deavor are so' many men and women ."born Into the business" as In the theatre. In statecraft we have bad the older as we (have the younger Gladstone, the younger and the older Pitt, the younger and the older Cho ate, and others. Law hus given us examples of the working out of the law of heredity and environment is the formation In the son of capacity for the work eh at has distinguished Ms father. Art has had Its- two Burne-Joneses and other Illustrious names, but none of these professions or all of them can show the astonish ingly large number of cases In which the call of fhe stage has been an swered by different generations of the same family. The stage' has a people all 'of Its own. It 'has been so from the be ginning. N Edmund Kean, that fiery little tra gedian at whom London laughed first and yielded to afterward, had a son, Charles Kean, who was a fine actor. The two often played together. In tragic moments wtien they were on the stage together the elder was so unaffected by the theory that an actor must feel what bo portrays that as he looked upon tfhoi countless wet eyes in the audience hq would whis per to his son, "Charlie, my boy, wo are doing the trick." Thomas Jefferson, who Is tho eld est actor son of the late Joseph Jef ferson, after nine years as Rip Van Winkle, has succeeded his Illustrious fattier In tho affection of the Amer ican .theatre-goers. Five Jeffersons have been eminent actors: two Thom as Jeffersons, three Joseph Jeffersons. Beginning with Thomas Jefferson 1, of David Gariick's time, followed by three Jospeh Jeffersons, II, III and IV, and now Thomas Jefferson V, tho fifth in line of acting Jeffersons. Thomas Jefferson has been a successful actor for over 30 years. His daughter and grand-niece have appeared before the footlights, making In all seven genera tions of JcfferBon actors. The Drews have been distinguished on the American stage since the llrnt. Tho marriage of tho brilliant Oeor gla Drew to the equally brilliant Maurice Barrymorc gavu us those threo players Ethel, Lionel and John Barrymore, ho pohhohscs more ability than any three members of any one family now before the foot lights. Tho greatest tragedian the Ameri can stage has seeu Edwin Booth had an actor for a father. This father never took Edwin's acting se riously. He let ttoe boy dress him a. ; . M , .

His middle name, "Wilkes," was that of ka distinguished family of actors, one member of which Is still on the American stage. This is Ernest Wilkes. In light form of entertainment ' we have the Cohan family. Jerry Cohan, ths father, la an actor of considerable ability. He and his wife play In the company of their talented son, George, The sister of George Uotian nas been wonderfully, successful In vaudeville, although she used to be a member of her brother's comedy companies).- Her husband is Fred Nlblo, a monologist. Mrs. George Cohan, whose stage name Is Ethel Levy, also Is clever. Eleanor Robeon, who wanted to be an artist, went upon the stags so that she might be near her mother, Mrs. Madge Carr Cook, who, as a character actress, did splendid work In "Mrs. WlggS of the Cabbage Patch." Henry Irvlng's son, Henry Brodribb Irving, Is a clever actor, as is Jonn Hare son. Henry E. Dlxey, called by many tho best character actor on the American stage, has a daughter. Ma bel Dlxey, in whom are found many of tho tlno acting abilities of her father. Lillian Russell's daughter, Dorothy, has played with considerable success in vaudeville. She baa Inherited a Alamo Citrls In "Tlss good voice and her mother's dramatic Instinct. Surah Burnhardt's son, Maurice Bernhardt, has acted a little and has ability, though his inclina tions run to literary work. Maxlne Elliott' sister.

Tho Chsrles Klein drama presents a picture of American financial life much discussed and widely written of; the money magnate, wiho control the financial world by means of the elec tric push-button on his desk It Is based upon facts well known to the public. In Mr. Klein's characteriza tion of "Ready Money" Ryder he has deftly Introduced the touch that humanises even a man ot millions paternal affection. "The Lion and the Mouse" la a vivid denotement of the struggle between Ryder and tlio girl beloved by his son. The play Is filled with human Interest- and pic tures vividly financial and social life of to-day. - COMPCLSORY EDUCATION. Tlie Town or Washington, fi.

'tl.tfhe spirit of the Holidays, subtly Inspiring, is In ths atmosphere, and the social whirl wax ea fast and furious as the days go by. Dinners and dances, theatre parties Rand little suppers, luncheons and teas receptions and muslcales follow in quick succession until one . la lofct . In the bewildering maze of social pleas urea. American people have lost the art of amusing themselves and are constantly fleeing from their own thoughts and from the dull spectre of .boredom that steals upon the un wary in their leisure hours. The little old-fashioned courtesies and simple pleasures In which our forefathers took delight have no place In up-to-date living, for who hoi time to think or to cultivate repose? It In fashion able to be strenuous In all things, social as well an political and com mercial, and social succeiwes ' are achieved by carefully planned cam- pains and astute stratagems. The State dinners are In full swing and will continue uninterruptedly for the next eight weeks. Among tho guests of honor at a recent dinner given at the White Houxn were Hon. Henry White , recently appointed am., bsaaador to France; Commander Rob ert Peary, lately returned from tho Arctic expedition. Governor and Mrs, Wlnthrop, of Porto Rico, and Honor able and Mrs. Theodore and Miss Shunts, who have been the house guests of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Mrs. Roovevalt' toilette was an exquisite yellow satin brocade trimmed in point lace with which a white diamond necklace and orna ments were worn. The floral decora tions were unusually beautiful. The long table, laid for 4 5 covers, held In the centre an enormous silver bowl brimming over with crimson Lib erty roses, while branching candela bra capped in silver and crimson rose. and white carnations In crystal bowls set in clusters of farleyense ferns re lieved tho long expanse of snowy dam ask and dazzling plate. , Ambassador and Mrs. Whltelaw Reld have been the guests of Secre tary and Mrs. Elthu Hoot and were present at the State dinner given on Thursday to tho President and Mrs. Roosevelt. They will be guests of Roar Admiral and Mrs. William Sheffield Cowles over New York's Day and will lend their presence to the brilliance of the scene at the White House reception, which is ono of the notable large affairs of tho year. On that day the diplomats appear In court costume and some of them, especially the Chinese and Persian ministers, give a touch of color that Is worth enduring the crush to see, to say noth ing of the gowns and gems worn by the ladles. Tho Prlnco and Prince Canlacu- sene Is well known In Washington, where sho has visited frequently since her childhood days. Hho Is tho only daughter of Gen. and Mrs. Frederick Dent Grant and share with tho sec ond daughter of ex-Prenldent and Mrs.' Cleveland the honor of being the only person living who can claim the w lute House as a birth place.

Edward Ueale, . the mother and father respectively of the host und hostess. Miss Chew wore a dainty gown of white satin tulle. The 60 couples participating in the cotillion were al most exclusively from the dobutante sot of this and last year, whllo the younger dancing men of resident and diplomatic circles wero mostly In evi dence.

A VNION-RIDDKN CITY. Moral Degradation of Kan PtsiicInco Which Calls l'orth tlso Worid's Sympathy Flagrant S-andal Thit Ikxcomes) a Matter of Natlonul In terest. New York Evening I'o.t. Last spring It was Han Francisco's physical ruin which culled out tho sympulhy of tho world; IIiIh winter It Ik her moral degradation which I causes disgust almost as widespread, j Hardly a day pusses without some I fresh revelation revelation of her 'civic dlsgracu beside which the nro asmage seems or compara tively small consequence. Yeater day, for Instance, Rudolpli Spreckles revealed Hons Ruef's little scheme for throwing a municipal bond Issue Into the hands of a spe cially formed syndicate. To prevent the disposal of these securities by an. open sale, the boss actually pro posed to Injure the credit of the city by ordering a general strike on all the street railroads. The tylng-up of the roads, with the consequent Injury to business; Ituef argued, would frighten off any bidders except those In the syndlrato, who could thus capture ths bonds at their own figure, Ruof was quite willing that thousands of workliiKnicn sholuld suffer and women und children go short of food that he and his crew might make some money. Did he not control ths labor union, and was i Man Francisco's government not a , government by the luhor unions'. it is exactly iniw point to wnicti we , would call attention. Champions of In bo r unions have long proclaimed , that If only the laboring men could; run a city government, then there : would a paradlser' on earth. Well, they cnntroled Hon Franctoco, elected; on ol their own as nmyor, and ths city duly berame a paradise of thieves, of grafter, of the disorderly elements of every kind. . Ths ; boss, who has hitherto been considered ths product . of corrupt corporations or rich and conscienceless business men, appeared here as ths absolute creat ure of the laboe i men. holding his power by) their consent, f Not only were there all the- evils growing out of ' the relations- ' of crooked and grasping corporations '. (nt th A city with which we In ths. Kast are so familiar, but the labor unions them Oscar I.. Flgman, as Prof. selves became, ss we have seen, mere Instruments for blackmail, and for tho continuance in office of as rascal ly a set of public officials as the coun try has seen. The union was used to Injure the workingmati hlmsolf; strikes wero ordered fur reasons with which he had no concern, that his masters might make money, at his expense. Yet when, last year, the opportunity was given him to redeem himself by putting; Schmlts and his gang out of office, the labor man stood by "hla ,own," and th govern-' nient of Schmitz, or rather of Ituef, was uphold. But the activities of Kuof and Schmitz were not restricted to mat ters of high finance. They and their associates were eager for petty blacic mall from the lowenl and most de graded of tho city's population. They seem to have been as anxious to col lect 15 as $16,000. Even tho mln- fortunes of the city appealed to them as another way of making money. How much graft there ix In tho ruins and the process of re building only a graft expert could es timate. Hut Schmitz nnd Ruet mado no effort to control labor-union greed; tho non-union worklnginan, so badly needed, was shut out as If there were no emorgoncy; and tho unions, which hud promised not to raise wages, were allowed to break their solemn pledges snd demand ex orbitant rates as a further IlluHtra tlon ot tho unselfishness and public spirit of organized labor In time of calamity. No newspaper has more often pointed the political moral of corporation greed and corruption than The Kvenlng Post, but the rec ord of the Han Francisco labor-unions shows them to bo quite as dangerous to the public interest and morals, when they obtain tho upper hand. The llugrunt scandal haa become a mutter of national Interest becauso the San Francisco situation has taken on international Import. Secretary Metcalf haa Just shown that tho labor-union highbinders controlled by Schmitz and Huef are behind the whole unti-Japanese uf I tat Ion. This same crowd of jrrafters form the inuch-huralded Korean and Japanese Exclusion League, which proclaims Itself ths saviour of Amerlcun civilisa tion. The Sun Frunclsco delegation In t'ongreas needs votes) for re election; Is It unnatural for them to seize upon tho Japanese lasue to in gratiate themselves with voters as unthinking as those who are willing to keep Huef and Hchmltx In power, with all tho moral rottoamess they represent? Of course, lh allega tions! of the Japanese dishonesty and Immorality come particularly well Just now from the mouths of Kan Franciscans! And tho absurd state ments as to tho menace of Japanese labor aro the veriest hypocrUy when made by men who prevent free Americans1 from earnng their liveli hood in ii stricken city unless they pay tribute to a set of union black mailers anl crooks. What Ih San Francisco going to do about H '.' Thanks to having an honest public prosecutor, she has be gun the work of cleaning house Hut thu city must bo set thoroughly In order and tho control of its af fairs taken away from any one clique of men, rich or poor, organized or unorganizod. The nation has a right to demand this, for the criminal elements which have made of the city's name a shame and a by-word, have begun to Injure the nation as well.
