MR. MENGEI.UEKU made onw changes io the arrangement of the orchestra. In the first place, he used the lower of the two platforms, adopt ing thi one whkh was discarded by Mr. StokowsVi in favor of the higher one, two years ajo. It might be noted that Mr. Toscanini did the same thing on the three visits of I. a Scala orches tra this senson. The reason was cvi- riimtlT tn ret the member's of the or- I chestra closer together and thus to make a finished enemble easier to obtain.

Thnt was to interpret this greatest of nil Americans to his own English peo ple, to the end that they, comprehend ing what Lincoln did. might gain moral help for themselves in their present time of trial. .Mr. UrttiKwntcr neneveu mat Lincoln had a message of libernlism and democracy that is today as great lis it ever wus and that Its scope is world wide. And he believed thnt he might helu to mnko that message better un derstood bfly preventing it. or phases ol it. in the powerful emotional way that the drama permits.

"rpHE ACQUITTAL," at the Hroad. includes two jilayers of more than ordinary interest. One of these is Chrystal Heme. The other Is William Hanignn. There is n third, too George Parsons but his relationship, for it is on the matter of family ties that interest is centered, comes through marriage. Chrystal Herne is the lovely and talented daughter of the late .lames A. Heme.

Miss Heme told the Pluygoer. "It was his first success and lie recorded it at my 1 hristening." William Hurngan plays the role of a e ice reporter in llie Acquittal, and makes the character probably the most natural find likable newspaper man the American stage has ever seen. His father wok the late "Ned" liar rigan, of the famous team of Harritnn nnd Hart. Hock in the eighties tliit team was famous Indeed. "Squatter Sovereignty."

Not Opposed to Work To Hie r.uilor it the Evtnlno "uMic l.tdotri Sir Ho many aro prone to criticize lsbor thee days without giving the subjeot sober thought. They say that labor Is arbitrary and does not want to work. It would rather be Idle than accept a cent of reduction In the wages that were raid them during the war. I feel all this Is unjust. Labor does not want any more .than a. llvlnr wage, with a chance to savo a llttlo for an emergency, and to that It should bo entitled. It Is the high cost of everything that Is kteplnB labor at the point where It Is not will, inc to consider a reduction In wage, for they know they cannot survive tf they do so. Where do people get the notlor. that peo ple do not want to work? There are mil lions of men and women out of work today and the rummlt of unemployment has not yet been reached. Is this unemployment voluntary on the part of labor? To learn the facts, go Into any employment depart ment of any business house nnd remain there bftween 7 .10 and 0:80 a. m . and see ihn steady stream of worker looking for a job.

Have these "model men" suddenly changed from the lrtue of order to disorder? The returned soldier has jrood reason to he discouraged. Many of them lost good positions while serving their country, and when they re turned they were offered shoveling and such Jobs that require briwn nnd not hrnin. W. 1,. SAUNDEH3.

Discourtesy In Street Cars To th' ndlfor cl the f.veninu PuhUe l.cilotr: Sir I realize that It la a hackneyed suh lect. but I cannot refrain from writing' to I vour rnper to call the attention of the dls I courtesy of men In tho wa they treat women ' on the street cars, especially elderly women. I 1 grant that the women now have to take 1 a great manv discomforts with tho men. They have claimed and galjied equality In ' the Luslnesa and polttic.it worlds, but thnt Is an Intellectual equnlitv.

Hut It Is so often the hard-working man who relinquishes the privilege to a unman. The other evening I saw two great, hulking jouiigr fellows deliberately maneuver to get a seat, leaving eeverul other girls and 1 women, one who stood Just In front of them, burdened with havv packages and looking utterly tired out. I saw tears spring to her eies I gave Ikt my soat and they glugled at me. To say, and I've heard tt satd. "Well. the've been after equality with the men. now let 'em uike what the men tuke," only brands the man for what ho Is a selfish lai. I have given mv seat many times to o'd. white-haired women, jee. nnd men, tee. while perfectly sturdy oung mn have looked on. I think If the man who shows such rour tisies, regardless of whether or not the re cipient Is courteous enough to (hank hltn promptly or pleasantly, could know with what pleasuro and actual Joy ho is ob serwd by onlookers, ho would foul will re paid We should hava a politeness contest In this city, as they -had In the West, where they rlalm that respect for women has gono up 100 per cent.

Hem conquered and dismayed-, Once mora against tho ICngllsh host His band he ted, and once more Inst The meed for which he fought; s.nd now, from battle, faint nnd worn. The homeless fugitive forlorn A hut's lono shelter sought, And cheerless was that resting place For him who claimed a thrdne; Ills canopy, devoid of grace, The rude, rough beams alonei The heather couch his only bed Tet well I ween had slumber tied From couch of eiderdown! Through darksomo night till dawn of day, Absorbed In wakeful thought he lay. Of Scotland and her crown. The sun rose brightly and Its glesm Fell on that hapless bed. And tinged with light each shapeless beam. Which roofed the lowly shed; When, looking up with wistful eye, The Itrtice beheld a eplder try Ills fllmy thtead to fling ' Ftom beam to beam of that rude cot; And well the Insect's toll soma lot Taught Scotland's future king. Six times his gossamery thresd I inn wsry spider threw; I In vain the filmy Vno was sped, ,; For powerless or untrue Bach aim appeared, and back recoiled, The patient Insect, six times foiled, And yet unconquered still; And soon tho Itruce, with eager eye, Saw him prepare ence more to try His courage, strength and skill. One effort more, his seventh and last! The hero hailed tho sign! t And on the wished for beam hung fast That slender, silken line; Slight ns It was, his spirit caught The more than omen, for his thought The lesson well could trace.
