"John Bogardus." which his in it all the elements of a great accomplishment. It shows won derful Mastery of character, especially of women, and has moods of love, trag edy. Bliemianism, sea life, poker, etc. The conical hero. John Bogardus, is travaier for pleasure and culture, B-.'hocl teacher, philosopher, sailor and lver. He never marries and his homes extend from Han Francisco to Kew Jersey. As a sailor he goes over the vorld. on cruises lasting for years. iAt the opening of the story, in 1002, John Is depicted as having newly re timed from Europe on a pleasure tour, lie Is about 24 years old and is wel comed on the New. York pier by his fither, James Bogardus, a professor of romance languages in a boys' school or college. I Here are the free-and-easy opinions cf Bogardus, senior, about the great American game of poker: ' Draw poker is at once the most Individual of ail sciences and the epitome of American character.

After a long cruise at sea, during which time he had spent some of the $8000 left to him by his mother, John vets a job as hired man on the farm of Farmer Tuppor and he pays attention to and thinks he falls in love with the farmer's pretty daughter. Miss Joan Tuppcr. He dances with her at a bum nier hotel, or rather he tries to do bo, and damages her toes, as he can't dance one bit. There is a romantic boatrlde home over the lake and he kisses Joan. Jtather than be bound down to a reg ular marriage engagement, John runs away to sea, and thus he moralizes "how to forget the girl' John had not yet learned that the law of physical magnetism knows no exception and limits jnen, women und poiarlcd steel In rxu:Uy the same terms of distance and time. t'onsequently at the end of a bare three weeks he was astonished upon composing lil in serf one night for sieep to find that it v hm with difficulty that he could visualize Juan. He remembered perfectly the color of Iter eyed and her hair and the size of. her fet and hands, but when he tried to re con .struct her living Image, summon her as I breathing and palpitating personality, he had to struggle long, and even then was not iulte sure that it was Joan and not any other nice young girl that eventually came to his divams, For some days he pondered on this dis covery, amounting almost to a shock, and then slipped so softly beyond the furtherest ix.-aeh of Joan s magnetic radius that he was forever unconscious of the moment when she became a mere image In the past, some' triing that could never be quite destroyed or forgot Kn but that could be comfortably hung on the wall of memory, or pasted ia its scran book.

If she still haunts and troubles, go farther away, for men are held not by women alone but by the tendrils put out to catch him who is near toars, present Joy and present suffering, children, loving care, nura, and the little things that become great through having been, shared. In leav ing a woman the railway train should be avoided; it is too quick, It 64s locates th-a double antidotes of magnetism, time and dls tance. and its effect is that of the extrac tion of a back tooth without gas. The ideal way of leaving a woman is by walking." After Joan there are Pauline. Dora end no doubt other girls. With Dora John's relations were not exactly proper at least this is the inference from what one meets with in the book. Dora is an actress. Here is a discussion on marriage and affinities "You're blind, the lot of you," said the little man 'Not blind, exactly, but ban ciaped." lie paused, his glance passing. 1 little troubled, from face to face as though he strove to gauge the measure of reception in the minds behind the eyes that watched iiim. "You all have tho same Idea of marriage, he went on. "that it begins at the altar and ends in the courts, except in the rare cases when you think it binds affinities. Just think It out an! you II see that true affin ities don't require the altar any more than they do divorce. Neither does marriage. That's why I ay it's Impersonal. Marriage Isn't propped on individuals. It stands alone tin J loom over the well and ill-assorted like a rock. 1 ou can bruise yourself against it but you can't shakes it. If the tenure of marriage depended on affinities " He broke off with a smite and held out one pudgy hand with fingers extended. "Here. look back on life as you've seen it and count the affinities you've known on the fingers or my hand." "Do you mean," said John, stll! playing with the olive, "that if the men and women trooping out of a theater paired off couple by couple, like the animals coming out of the ark, the average success of marriage "would be just the same?" "The average success of marriag." said Jfdson's uncle, "is a masterly Qhrase. ft lilts the nail of my argument on the head, furh an arrangement as you have illustrated would be the death-blow to many a per sonal emotion It would rob the world of many a flash of divine fire. But the point Is this. It wouldn't even scratch the face of marriage." "I don't bolievw It," said the prettiest lads. ''You reduce marriage to the proportions ef a habit." said someone else. "Keduc" cried l'.oleon's uncle. "Is t!iro anything stronger than habit ? But 3 ou'rn not going to drive me to a cliche. J refuse to call marriage a habit and let it go at that.

Theodore Roosevelt: The toBic of His Career, by Charles G. Washburn. ?1.50. Illustrated. Houchton, Mifflin Co., Bos ton. There have been so many descriptive biographical estimates published of Theodore lioosevelt that the curious reader wonders If any new author is lucky or enterprising enough to dis cover what is really "new material" on the subject. Say, a new viewpoint, new stories. Mr. Washburn, who has for 40 years been a friend of Mr. Roosevelt, has been clever and industrious enough to fill this bill. His book is not merely the saccharin laudation of an enthusi astic friend, but the critical estimate and clearly distinguishable mirror of a trained thinker and observer who has made good use of his time. Mr. Washburn shows that although he admires Mr. Roosevelt, he is a can did friend. The author was Mr. Roose velt's classmate at Harvard, and they have been intimate friends ever since. Mr. Washburn was a delegate to the Republican National convention of 1904 and was a member of the committee which notified Mr. Roosevelt of his nomination. He was also in Washing ton, I). C, as a member of Congress while Mr. Roosevelt was in the White House. Our author does not always agree with Roosevelt, as is evident from his recent activity in a campaign to put forward Senator Weuks as a pos sible" Presidential nominee. He does. however, understand and admire Roose velt, and his exposition of "the logic of Roosevelt's career" has a vitality and authenticity which could not come from possibly any other writer. Mr. Roosevelt knows our author well enough to write to him as "Dear Char ley." In November, 1881, Mr. Roosevelt wrote that he had accepted the nomi nation to the New York Legislative Assembly, and added: "But don't think I am going to go into politics after this year, for I am not." It is stated on page two tnat Mr. Roosevelt "has never been a politician; his opinions, regarded by many as radical and by some as even revolu tionary, were carefully considered for many years before they found expres sion. As a bov in college, Mr. Roosevelt, while a good student, was not a grind." had the gift of concentration. and was fond of athletics, but never greatly excelled. Boxing was his favor ite sport, but he was greatly nandi capned because he was near-sighted. 'He was far from being a reaay speaker at college. I remember that at the 'Pudding' we often incited a dis cussion for the purpose of rousing' Teddy.' In his excitement he would sometimes lose altogether the power of articulation, much to our delight. He had then almost a defect in his speech which made his utterance at times deliberate and even halting. It became evident that Mr. Roosevelt could not be judged by ordinary stand ards. and early in our college life I came to believe in his star of destiny." Once Mr. Roosevelt was asked what act of his life or what experience had given him the most pleasure and satis faction. He replied: "The charge up San Juan Hill." Our author evidently makes a slip when he eays, on page 42, that Mr. Roosevelt "was forced Into the Vice Presidency, and made President by the act of God." The truth of the matter s that Mr. Roosevelt became President because President McKinley was shot and killed by an assassin. There is no 'act of God" In this oniy tne work or t criminal. The est-mates of Mr. Roosevelt's po itical and public career are most nteresting. Railroad Valuation and Rates, by Mark Wymond. $1.50. Wymond & Clark, Chi cago.

RETURN OF SCHUMANN-HEINK IN "SIEGFRIED" WELCOMED IN GOTHAM Geraldine Farrar's Coquetry in "Carmen" Reaches So Far That It Arouses Resentment of Caruso, Who Grasps Her So Tightly She Can't Evade Him and Then Tosses Her Aside After He Is Slapped. N BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUElt I revival of "Carmen" this season with tho emancipation of women .she seemed E-yy- YORK, Feb. 26. (Special.) ueraiuine rarrar in ine tine rum wuum io nave overruled tow oojeci a ui .m,. It was a memorable week which brought back to the Metropolitan stage that great woman, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, who appeared as Erda in the afternoon performance of "Siegfried" Thursday in tlie "Ring cycle which will close with "Die Goet- terdaemmerung" this week. Sharing the honor of a triumphant return to the Metropolitan stage, was Clarence Whixchill, who has too long been "loaned" to Chicago. Mr. Wliitehill's "Wanderer" was a marvelous foil to the Erda of the most idolized woman of the stago and for this combination that performance will remain in the memory of all who were fortunate enough to witness it. mere were hundreds who did not have this opportunity even though they stood in line for the purchase of tickets. The house had lontr been sold out and there was nothing to do but to hope that an extra evening performance may be ac corded the patrons of that house as was done in the case of "Rheingold," which had the first evening perform ance it ha,s had in many years at the Metropolitan. This was given Friday night, peiore an audience in which standing room was practically "suf locating room, as there was little chance to stand for those who were late comers. There is a written or unwritten law at the Met ropolitan that there must be an inter mission, for which reason me curtain was dropped and an intermission wasi created between the seconu ana tnira scene. To return, however, to the great music drama in which the young Sieg fried works out his destiny and the eventual fall of the Gods, it may be said that Mme. Schumann-Heink re vealed the inner power of the Erda declamation as we had forgotten it could be done. It was thrilling not alone on account of the rich organ lik voice, but behind the voice lay a grasp of the import, of the content and of the super-thought which can only come from one who is in the spirit of the master, as is the privilege only to one who, like this great woman, has lived and has learned that life in all its workings, whether for joy or for sorrow, finds its expression in few masterpieces and that Wagner still stands supreme and unapproacnaoie. The Dart of Erda is in itself not im portant, but as it was made on Thurs day it seemed to carry the significance of the entire cycie mis utuo interpreter knew the psychology, the meaning and made others feel it. The feeling with which Mr. Whitehill in vested his impersonation met with ex traordinary fitness the quality of Mme, Schumann-Heink's Erda. It was a haunting, stirring, tragic figure full of mystery, replete with the sense of im pending doom and with a heroic sense of accepting fate as it was meted out to him and his race. That it was suns with the rare beauty of voice which has made Mr. Whitehill one of the most pleasing artists before the public goes without saying. Mme. Kurt gave her usual brilliant performance of Brunnhilde instead of Mme. Gadski, who was indisposed, and and Sembach was heard in the title role. The cast included the well known interpreters, Reiss. Goritz and Ruysdael as Mime, Alyberich and Faf ner. and Edith Mason's lovely voice was heard as the Forest Bird. Mr. Bodanzky was the conductor. It was to be expected that the re-1 create more interest, if not veritable excitement, than ever before. This for the reason that since lust she appeared in this role Miss Farrar has won the distinguished title of "Queen of the Movies" in this sunie part. Few are wlllina- to admit that she has improved her conception and from the histrionic side the impersonation seems to flavor more of the films than of Prosper Aler inioe's coquettish heroine of the cigar ette girls.- Her coquetry reached so far on Thursday nlfjlit that it aroused resent ment in. Caruso, t lie groat Don Jose, whose singing upon this occasion seemed never so beautiful. Those who tell the story as they believe it to have happened suy that her eccentricities so disturbed the tenor that he grasped her so tightly that she could not evade him and it gave him the opportunity to sing undisturbed by her antics, lie fore this it is said that when Miss Fnr rar presented him with the rose in stead of throwing It at him Bizet-Carmen fashion, Farrar-Carmen fashion she put it into his hand and slapped him fairly and squarely on tho cheek with sufficient force to make it resound throughout the house. There were both taunts and murmurs from the au dience and the air seemed thick. When Caruso's aria was finished Miss Far rar broke away with great force and it is said that ho usslsted her, at any rate she fell t,o the floor which may or may not have been part of the Btuge business. , Caruso Is said to havo asked the actress whether she thought the Met ropolitan was an opera-house or a cinema, and Miss Farrar is said to have answered that Mr. Gnttl was at liberty to look for another Carmen. Be yond this the performance had the usual cast, which Included Madam Alda as a lovely Micaela, Amato us the tore ador, Lenora Sparkes and Sophie Bras lau as Frasquita and Mercedes, Robert Leonhardt, Angelo Bada and Leon Ro thier. From the sublime to the ridiculous on Friday night might be measured by the distance between tho Metropol itan Opera-House and the Waldorf Astoria. A more brilliant audience probably has never been assembled than the one which witnessed tho first performance on any stage of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont's "Meiinda and Her Sis ters," for which the music was written by Miss Elsa Maxwell, who was also responsible for the lyrics. Tho cast was headed" by Miss Marie Dressier, who stands pre-eminently as a genius in her realm. Miss Dressier has frequently held thousands of people in one series of laughs after another, but she has never done anything funnier than her Imper sonation of Mrs. John Pepper, whose eight daughters were topped off by Meiinda, whose name was rarely men tioned, because Mr. and Mrs. Pepper had social aspirations in Oslikosh. Me iinda Pepper, impersonated by Marie Doro, made her entrance through the audience on the floor of the Waldorf ballrom, marching behind the village band and followed by a procession of women formidable in intent nnd ap pearance. This did not occur until the very end of the play, and it was the first time that suffrage was touched upon, but Meiinda took the center of the stage and behind her was that beautiful woman, Inez Milholiand Bols sevlan, bearing high the flag. After Miss Doro made her appeal for and Mrs. Pepper and she probably went far with persuasive argument Into tho minds of her audience. The first part of the operetta supplied the reason for some delightful specialties on the parti of Miss I 'am Day, Mrs. Itialla ldc. Mile. Odetta le Fontciiny, .Miss Gwendolyn King.

It was only natural that such a staKe luvorito u.i Emmy Wehlen should create a veritable sensation, which she did with the as sistance of her Pekinese dog. "Sweely." who is well known to tlieater-gooi i. "Sweety" came in for a round or ap pluuso all his own by the vehemence with which he wagk-ed bis lull when ever his mistress addressed herself to him or to some fancied object of her favor.

Then there were wonderful special acls by Miss Androva, Mme. Alibi, Miss Betty L,ce and Miss Dorothy i'el Iowa-Gordon. A grand opera scene was suggested. In which Mrs. Ide hud the co-operation of Albert Llnquest, who revealed a really beautiful tenor voice as Count Veodleslicskey, from the Royal Opera house of Moscow, and the rest of tho special acts brought forward many of tho most prominent of the season's dobutantea. If, 'beyond anything else, there was one tremendous cliin.ix, it was Miss Drcssler's song on tho mut ter of modern drama grand opera and tho Russiun ballet. She was the most supremely funny actress ever seen on any stage. It may bo said that far beyond most musical come. lies, -Mia. Belmont's book supplied rapid-fire fun and genuine interest, but upon Miss Maxwell devolved tho duty of olferlng music sufficiently original to hold tho attention of those whose tastes became Jaded long ago. There liua been little music of the lighter order important enough to do Ibis, and Miss .Maxwell s achievement was therefore the nioro commendable. She has a talent of tho most spontaneous sort and a wealth of- melody. Perhaps the most amusing contribution which she mudo to the score was her imitation In the orches tration of the parody on Debussy. This was done with an understand ing of tho harmonic efferts, und If It was lost upon tho general public, the musicians In tho audience greeted it with delight. In the closing climax. Miss Maxwell supplied a inarching song entitled "The U. S. Volunteers," which brought endless encores and which topped off the performance with a ver itable frenzy of enthusiasm. The re- ccpits netted for the suffrage cause were not less than isooo, and it may bo said that the expenses of produc tion were almost that much.
