MARVELOUSLY gifted mind-reader has failed in Newport because of scarcity of material. THE CHINESE HERALD bas been started in New York. It is a sure-enough yellow journal. Hew ARE WE to class and charac- terize, now that the new century is under way, those individuals who were formerly dis- tinguished by the epi- thet fin - de - sitcle ? Left-overs, might do. se DISPATCHES from China announce that the former Boxer leaders Li-Ping-Heng and Kang-Yi, who are dead, are to be pun- ished by being con- demned to posthumous execution, Now will they be good? AMERICAN MIS- SIONARIES in China have collected three hundred taels for each native Christian killed in the Boxer up- rising, The current magazines have rounded up about three thousand tales from survivors of » that affair, who inadvertently were permitted to escape with their diaries. see TH = SALVATION ARMY is to invade the theatre and produce moral melodramas, such as “Jonah and the Whale,” with a tank of real water,.and “The Prize-fight of Life,” in ten rounds. ‘The salvationists have also a secret ambition to convert the theatrical syndicate—but that 1s a roseate dream. THERE IS a similarity between national conventions of gypsies and those of hoboes; but the former do not nominate candidates for presi- dent and vice-president, they steal only sparingly, and they are sometimes sober. The hoboes meet in Tampa, Florida, this year; and there the winds are tempered to the shorn lamb. RICHARD MANSFIELD is said to have accepted for stage production, as soon as he shall feel in the mood, dramatizations of Omar Khay- yam, Darwin, Huxley, Bloodgood H. Cutter, and the book of Job. In the latter the réle of the patient man of Uz should fit his temperament like a glove. Oh, Richard! let not modesty defer Your triumph, and ere long you'll play—like her, The only Bernhardt—to vast multitudes, Standing-room only, at five dollars per. TOO LATE. SNAIL RESCUER—" Courage, courage, Miss Bug! MR. BRYAN’S “JUDGE” CARTOON. JUDGE invited the honorable William Jennings Bryan to contribute to this publication a cartoon, or the suggestion for one, which should be executed by our artistic staff in their best style, and to the complete satis- faction of the author of the idea, and published forthwith, Mr. Bryan responded in the courteous letter which we publish on another page, to- gether with the result of our application and his response. His cartoon consists of a symbolized contrast between republic and empire.” Its mean- ing is clear, and the whole thing is characteristic of Mr. Bryan. While JUDGE is not in accord with either the argument or the manner of its presentation, yet it is conceivable that there may be many people who do not agree with JUDGE. At the same time, the many who do agree with us will be none the less interested in this, Mr. Bryan's first direct utterance in the “universal language,” which is pictures. JUDGE'S McKINLEY INAUGURATION NUMBER. UDGE will be on parade, in a brand-new cover uniform, next week, in honor of the triumphal second inauguration of President McKinley. With prosperity, sound money and Republican principles personified in the stanch and able chief executive whose one good term has so well deserved another, it is a condition and not a theory that smilingly confronts us. Facts are better than theories, and this inauguration is a peculiarly significant event. Hence the special number of JUDGE, to be issued on February 27th. “NAUSEATING ADVISERS.” A BOSTON dramatic critic complains that in a paragraph which he wrote for the Transcript, about some comic- opera soubrettes and their “ masculine admirers,” the latter were made out by the type-setter as “nauseating advisers.” Most peopie, we fancy, will consider the com- positor's version the correct one, in point of fact. GIVE HIM ROPE. A PARTY OF NE- GROES, promi- nent citizens of their town, lynched a man of their own race a few days ago, and it is said that no white mob could have executed the function with more neatness or dispatch. All the capabilities of higher civilization seem to be inherent in the colored citizen, pro- vided we give him enough rope. VICE-VERSA. A CORRESPOND- ENT of the Berlin Kreuz Zeitung, writing from Count von Waldersce’s headquarters about the international troops in Peking, says, “The American officers are char- acterized by their European comrades as ‘socially impossible.’ The Amer- ican sanitary arrangements are perfect.” Well, that is one way of look- ing at it. We might say with equal truth, in a general way, of many European officers, that, while their social arrangements are perfect, they are sanitarially impossible. T'll be there in two days!" JUDGE'S TELEPHONE TIPS. NOTHING goes without saying over the ‘phone. Wired love-making is like wired roses—a poor, lifeless cheat. The telephone is unsatisfactory as a medium by which to tell-a-phunny story. A lie by telephone is not attenuated in its cussedness, even through long-distance transmission. Gestures and facial expressions in a telephone conversation are about as effective as punctuation and underscoring of words in a cablegram. A soft answer turneth away wrath—unless it comes in an unfamiliar voice and tells you that you have been talking all this while to the wrong lady. When you have been rung up and can get nothing but a series of disjointed consonants and incoherent death-rattles, it is likely the wires are crossed—or else, as happens once in a while, the person talking at the other end stutters, comicbooks.com
