Georue He Can Best Manage the Political Vultures. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: What a pblethora ot riches is now offered "to the, Bepubllcans of the Greater. New York. Benjamin F. Tracy and Seth Low! Two celebrities who are held in the greatest honor by the people one a reflex of the past, the other the hope of the future both men who have 'become models for refined political action and whose characters are equally pure and simple; here then is truly an embaras de rlchesses.

Which" of these two worthies shall we then accept as the Republican leader in the present contest for the mayoralty of the Greater New York? Who shall preside over the destinies of the great city? For whom, to be brief, shall We vote? Shall we elect Tracy wtth' his hoary head and advanced age as our captain to maintain the coming contest and cope with all the worriesr vexations and perplexities Incidental to the situation? Long 'may his soul retain the freshness ot its sensi bllitv and unfailing purity In his political relations, but let us not be parties to hurrying him on to a too early close, rather let him rest In and quiet, for the greed of hiB pap seeking, place bun'ting followers, who would be ever yearning for the unattainable, would surely exhaust him. We turn to Seth Low. An analysis of this man would be In very poor taste from a Brooklynite: There Is no one In these twin cities better known than the ex mayor of Brooklyn: we have known him in his boyhood, early manhood and now in his perfection of growth, and we have admired him as a Wise and successful leader on several occasions; he Is young, strong, active and better able in every sense than his venerafble opponent to meet the entanglements and annoyances of the situation. He has had practical acquaintance with municipal affairs and has had experience in the management of the vultures who infest the municipal courts of a city. Let us then regular or independent vote for the chieftain whose prestige is derived from past success, Seth Low.

MARGARET MATHER AS LEAH. An Object Lesson in an Older School of tho Drama and an Evidence of tho Gulf Between Shakspeare and Daly. People who have seen Augusiin Daly's adaptations ot Shakespeare's plays have Eome timea had a suspicion ot a slight difference in the artistic capacity of the English dramatist and hts American revicer. To appreciate the width of the gulf which yawns ba 'tween them, however, one should go to the Montauk Theater this week, where two of Shakespeare's plays are being acted in alternation with Mosenthal's drama "Leah," which on the programmes, as in the standard theatrical libraries, is credited solely to Mr. Daly.

In its clipped stage version "Cym beline" is not one of Shakespeare's graetest plays, but "oh, what a fall was there, my countrymen," from "Cymheline" Indifferently acted on Monday night to Mr. Daly's "Leah," acted as well as or better than it deserved last night. For twemty flve years Mr. Daly' "Leah" has been a landmark in dramatic history. In 1872 Kate Bateman, the moistest weeper of them all.

brought out this version in New York, and the most intelligent women of this land increased their laundry bills in sympathy with her long haired woe. That great tragic actress, Fanny Janauschek, shook the continent and split the gridirons of many theaters with tbe fury of Leah's curse and women of less note have coined the HowSng: tears ot their sisters in the orchestra chaira into comfortable bank accounts by wearing the forsaken Jewess' weeds of relentless woe. But theatrical taste changes rapidly. To day this play seems ill made, old fashioned in construction, and its language, which waa once declared "grand." the veriest bathos. While a considerable portion of last night's audience at the Monitauk suffered with th heroine, many others regarded the performance as an amusing exposition of outworn dramatic methods and wondered what their mothers must have been to have wept over it.

But the faults of this play are obviotrs as they are external. At bottom It has a profoundly dramatic idea; the persecution of the Jews in the last century and the desertion of a Jewess by the Christian lover wlio has sworn to marry her. The treatment is of a time when vocal force was the chief means of obtaining dramatic effects. It was the old English "legitimate" school of acting with a twist given to it by the emotional drama which sprang up in France with ifae younger Dumas. Miss Matter has been trained in that school and she is admirably acted to portray Leah as probably Mosenthal and cercainlT Mr.

Daly expected her to' be portrayed. Excepting Janatisohek it is doubtful if any of the historic LeaJis played the part better than or much differautJv. from Miss Maither. Tliis a. tress has a flood of red hot paion which she pours through the drama with what would have been electrical effect twenty years ago.

To day the fil is for repressed passion and many actors repress until you have to take it on faith that rtiere is any poesicn there stronger than CD one for salary day. Which method is the better is a question of taste to be decided fey posterity: probably in favor of the repressed school as the mere refilled and subtle. The main thitng is to have the passion and Miss Mather has it and uses k. The things wtiioh seem crudenesses both in her own method, and in the work cf her support, when used upon Shakspeare fit the crude and stilted language of this drama of the seventies. A company obliviously uneijual to Shakspeare may be more than sufficient for Daly, and this one certainly is.

the star in particular. Indeed, people who want to get a notion ot what Mrs. Siddous must have been like in Lady Macbeth and the stilted tragedies of the Elizabethan school, which are now forgotten, could get a pretty good start for their imaginations by witnessins Miss Maither as Leah on Friday night. They will see the same black haired and beautiful woman with majestic port and illimitable voice. Probably In the handling of her voice Mrs.

Siddons was superior, for elocution was the one perfect instrument of the actor in her day; but the great Sarah must have been a stilted person according to our standards. If she had had Leah to play she did play worse parts she would probably have played it much as Miss Mather does barring the tremolo stop which the present actress turns on when she wants pathos. It is to be hoped that the tremolo is a sin of our own day. Our fathers had enough to answer Tor without this peepy, dying chick abomination. Aside from the tremolo Miss Mather's Leah is a moving and powerful performance.

As an historical object lesson in a school which Is now passing away it is valuable. To night she will play "Cymbeline." MONETARY COMMISSIONERS. This Correspondent Suggests That They Return at Once. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle; It is reported that a few high and mighty minds of America have been sent to Europe to join forces with a few similar minds over there to "fix" a monetary ratio between gold and silver. What a pity that so much expensive talent should be devoted exclusively to so trifling a matter while ttere are so many other things in tho world quite as unstable and erratic and as much in need of their attention as the object of their mission.

If it isn't too late, perhaps they may be urged to fix a few of these other things while they are in the fixing business, and so do something as an offset to the expenses ot their trip, which is more than the present outlook promises. For instance, coal and copper may hi mentioned as examples ot waywardness iu values, neither having shown much respect for any particular relation they may have had ro any particular time. Th same may be said, also, as to corn and cotton, clams and cucumbers. The tides, too, hava been quite irregular in their habits in some respects for a number of years, sometimes rushing in upon us with suuh careless ferocity aa to flood our cellars and wet things generally without regard for values or ratios, and then, again, rushing away from us so as to leave barely enough water in some places to keep our vessels afloat. Why.

even the poles of the earth are said to be wabbling and the earth itself is accused of being more or less eccentric in its flirtations with the sun, so much so as to make it mighty difficult, sometimes, to figure out just "where we're at." beside putting us to the expense and bother of changing our clothes two or three times a year. All thest things should have attention and if our commissioners will put a stop to some of these eccentricities they will do something to compensate for some ot their own. There are a good many other things that need lo be fixed, but nothing in present view, is suffering for such attention more than the commissioners themselves. Now, It the good Ijrd will be kind enough to fix them perhaps they may be induced to quit looking for roosters' eggs and come homo and thresh wheat and husk corn for the market which has been made and fixed, for the present, at a very respectable elevation without the helF or hindrance of anybody's Congress or commla stoner.i.

con eluslvely. Suppose the situation changed that Brooklyn had the wealth and the assets on its side. Instead of New York, would we not laugh at a proposition to give control of those assets to a New Yorker? We cannot reasonably and sensibly blame New York for being the controller shall be a resident of and that he shall have the expedience, the capacity and the integrity which the present New York controller "has shown: that he possesses.

TJ OPPOSES PLACING IT IK PROSPECT PARK. Protest to Commissioner Dettmer That the Work Might Injure Morals of the Young Movement for a Rescue Home for Girls Officers Eluoted. The adjourned meeting of the annual convention of the Women's Christian Temperance llnion of Kings County was brought to a close yesterday after an all day session in the rooms of the First Union, 118 Myrtle avenue. The revision of the constitution and tie appointment of department superintendents and standing committees occupied the attention of the members during the afternoon. Just previous to adjournment Mrs.

H. S. Pritchard moved that some action be taken by the convention with regard' to the Heine fountain, which has been rejected by the City ot Berlin and also by Brooklyn, but which the Brooklyn Saengerbund Is desirous of having placed in Prospect Park. Mrs. Pritchard based 'ber objection upon the harm that might result to the morals of young people by having the fountain in the park.

On motion, which was carried without discussion, Mrs. Pritchard and Mra. J. B. Daily were appointed a committee to send a letter of pro test to the park commissioners.

The most important changes in the con stitution are those providing for the holding of monthly business meetings of the county union, and alBo two or more public meetings, alt which all members may take part in the proceedings. Heretofore tbe business of the county organization has been conducted through an executive committee and at the annual convention only delegated members had a right to vote and to speak. In explaining her reasons for desiring the change from a delegate oo the general body Mrs. Emma F. Pettengill, the president, said: "Kings County Union is unique from Che fact that all the local unions composing it are located in the City of Brooklyn, and it Is thus as easy for members to attend a county meeting as one held by their local unions." One of the public meetings to be held yearly is to be Che annual session and the time set for this re union Is in Septemlber, and no meetings are to be held during July and August, on motion or Mrs.

Pettengill the words "xo educate the young" were Inserted In the clause in the constitution referring to the object of the organization, the clause now reading, "The object shall be to promote the oause of total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors, to educate the young and to secure the extinction of the. liquor by such, means as shall from time to time be deemed ''Wise and expedient." The other changes related to the duties of officers and routine matters. The election of superintendents of departments was not concluded at tbe morntng meeting and the following were cnosen at the later session. Temperance and labor, Mrs. G.

T. Berger; heredity and non alcoholics in medicine, Dr. Charlotte Woolley; narcotics, Dr. Ella M. Martin; school of methods and parliamentary usage, Mrs.

O. M. ConkVin; flower mission, Miss L. Pink; parlor meetings, Mrs. C.

Pritchard; house visitation, Mrs. Anna 13. Reeves; political study, to which the department of franchise was incorporated, Miss Ida C. Craft. In accepting he position Miss Craft remarked 'that she "considered her department very necessary, as she did not want it said the Women's Christian Temperance Union women were not prepared for the ballot, and siie hoped every member would attend the study, class.

Standing committees were appointed as follows: Music Mrs. Meta Cook and Miss Re qtia. Miss Marguerite Hawthorne declining' to serve any longer. Auditing Mrs. Louise Vanderhoef and Mrs.

Lillian F. Lewis. Finance 'Mrs. J. H.

Gustln, as chairman, with the following representatives from local unions as associates: Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Frank Baylis, Mrs. Shirley, Mrs. A.

L. Smith, Mrs. Lulu Ashe, Mrs. Eckland, Mrs. Cann.

It was suggested that the name of the committee on county headquarters and building fund be to that of Rescue Home for Girls and after considerable discussion It was decided to refer the matter for consideration 'to the following named committee, with Instructions to report at the next business meeting: Mra. M. J. Annable, Mrs. Anna S.

Reeves, Mrs. Frank Shadbolt, Mrs. J. W. Campbell and Mrs.

Jennie V. Dailey. In speaking on the subject Mrs. Reeves, who has been chairman of the committee for five or more years, said she thought that money would be contributed moTe generously for a rescue home than for a county headquarters and Mrs. Pettengill eaid t'oat her idea of the.XTk of.

the Women's Christian Tem. perance "XTnion was to have a rescue home and' that she was willing to use all her influence to have the Wayside Home merged into a rescue home under the jurisdiction of the Kings County Union. Miss Marguerite Hawthorne was elected secretary for the county of the Young Women's branch and Mrs. M. J.

Annable and Miss E. W. Greenwood were re elected representatives at large and Mrs. Bremen was ett'osen to act with them. The motion for the establishment of a Department of Peace and Arbitration met with the objection from Mrs.

PettenKlll that the union had about all it could stagger under and that did not believe in departments on paper. Her objection was overruled, however, and the department adopted with Mrs. Alice Frost, a member of the Society ot Friends, as the chairman. The Department of Mercy was also created, with Mrs. Jennie Johnson as chairman, and a department for work among tne foreigners, Mrs.

O. Teden of the Scandinavian Union being elected chairman. The meeting adjourned about 6 o'clock The annual meeting of the State Union will be held at Cortland on October 5. 6 and 7. The following are the delegates from Kings uounty: miss Ida urart, Miss (Jarrie Watson, Mrs.

Greater New York and London in Contrast Difficulties in the Way of Electing a Mayor and a Sketch ot the Career of Brooklyn's Former Mayor. way American politics strike Englishmen is frequently funny, but the following from the London Sketch has more intelligence than the average. The oddest thing about it is the title, "The Greater New York and Its First Mayor," and perhaps that is prophecy. The Sketch says: In January next Xew York will Jump over the head of Paris and take its place next to London as the second largest city in the world. This is an important event, and the proud New Yorkers are duly preparing themselves to cope with it.

Rightly speaking the American metropolis has never received its proper due as a populous city. By all the laws which go to make up tbe cities ot the world, that is, by the accumulation ot people and property around one common center. New York has long been the second city in point of size and importance; and. if her population were counted as London's is. taking in suburbs that extend for many miles on either side of the Thames, she would press the English metropolis closely for supremacy.

Hitherto she has been too self contained. She has shut herself up in that narrow strip of land running between the East and Hudson rivers, and refused to consider the populous suburbs of Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken, Long Island City, Staten Island and many others, not so far off as Streatham or Dulwieh from the City of London, as part of her integral whole. It is as if London had kept herself to the confines of the city proper, and Ignored the existence of the adjoining parishes. Father Knickerbocker has been too modest in the past. No wonder his long, thin shanks have that cramped and shrunken appearance which the caricaturists love to depict.

He hasn't had room to stretch his legs on the crowded and congested island of. Manhattan. Still he has done pretty well. Till now he has managed to crowd the 1,800, 000 people on thirty eight square miles of land. Compare that number with London's 5,000,000 spread over 688 square miles, and note the disproportion in breathing and moving space between the two cities.

At last the old gentleman of the cocked hat and silken knee breeches has decided to reach out and develop. He has realized the absurdity of allowing Brooklyn, which is to New York what Southwark is to the City of London a short trip across the river to continue a separate existence, and, under the recently sanctioned charter, over one million people will be added from this suburb, and man thousands more from other municipalities adjoining. Jersey City and Hoboken, which are separated from New York as Lambeth is from Westminster, will not come into the new consolidation, because they happen to be in another state and are governed by quite different local laws. Still, they are, to all intents and purposes, part of Xew York. Without the latter city they would have no reason for existence, and as it is, they are only feeders to it.

However, New York is content to take in" Brooklyn, Richmond County, Flushing, Long Island City, Newtown, Jamaica, Hempstead and other small suburbs for the present, and, under the style of Greater New York, she jumps from a population and area as stated above to a population ot about 3,100,000, spread over S59 square miles, which is still only about half the area of London. The new city will have 900 miles of paved streets, 1,200 miles of railroads, 1,120 hotels, 1,100 churches, 130,000 dwelling houses imagine 3,100,000 people cooped up in 13Q.000 houses! 37,000 business houses, 700 miles of sewers, 1,800 miles, of gas mains and 6,000 acres of parks. WitJi the altered aspect the great American metropolis there will be quite a revolution in its municipal government. Naturally, the question as to who is to be first mayor of this enlarged oUty is paramount above every other, and, chough some months must elapse before he is required to assume office, candidates have been named and boomed and duly depreciated, according to party feeling, for the last half year. The name above all dehors which has met with most favor is that of Mr.

Seth Low, and, judging by the enthusiasm with whJoh his prospective candidature has been bailed, he would probably receive Che honor If ho oared for It. The only difficulty and it is a difficulty which crops up at all American elections is that the wrangles dissensions and seHfishaess of various cliques and organizations may bring into the field a number of candidates, most ot them fighting for the same policy, namely, good and honest goverawnent. as against the once powerful but now greatly weakened force of Tammany Hall and all the corruption that that implies. Mr. Low is willing to stand if, as he puts It.

"my candidacy would prove a unifying force among the friends of good government in the city," and, as he Is much desired by the Citizens' Union, the most powerful anti Tammany organization in New York, it is quite likely that he will go to 'ohe poll and be elected. Mr. Low has had rather an unusually successful and brilliant career. He is one of the few men in New York who is not esteemed merely because he Is wealthy. He has more than the usual portion of human possessions, but he has beside a thoroughly honorable and incorruptible private and public career which, it is gratifying to see, counts for mora in the view the people take of him than much wealth.

He comes of old English stock, having been born in Rrooklyn 47 years ago. In appearance he looks ten years younger and is a fine, broad shouldered, manly type of man. His life has been a curious mixture of books and business, the business being sandwiched between his achievements as a scholar. He was educated at the well known Columbia Colleee and as the then president said, was "the first scholar of the senior class and the most manly man we have had here for years." Then he en tered his father's great tea and silk business and after serving in it for many years became head of the firm. He has also been one of the most active members of the New York Chamber of Commerce.

He gave up business in 1S88, but before that, in 1881, he had become engulfed in public affairs and was elected mayor of Brooklyn. He was only 32 years old at the time and his advent to the office was marked by some novelty of procedure. He was the first mayor of a great American city to take upon himself the unrestricted choice of nearly the entire executive force of the municipal government and he made every man whom he appointed promise to resign if he called on him to do so. This was the act of a strong man willing to center the whole responsibility of government in himself. He was a successful mayor and served a second term in 1886.

A year after his retirement from business, in 188S, he accepted the office of president of Columbia College, in the City of New York, one of the most Important seats of learning In tbe country. Thus, in less than twenty years, he passed from graduate to president or the college, and since 1SS9 he has held the latter position. His interest in the Institution was practically demonstrated by his gift of a stately and spacious library building in memory of his father, the cost of which was 200.000. He was a member of the commission which framed the charter of Greater New York. Mr.

Low's qualifications for the office of mayor of this great city will thus be recognized. As a scholar, a business man, a politician, a benevolent private citizen and a man of Integrity, dignity and honestv of purpose he is eminently worthy of the honor and in honoring him the citizens of Greater New York will be honoring themselves and will have'a representative worthy of their great city.
