Wood complied with the request of the Grand-Jury for the Supervisor’s poll-bDooks- of the Ninety-eighth Precinct in the Tenth Ward, trom which it was in- ferred that their inquiries to-day would ex- tend inthe direction of frauds committed in that district. This inference was strengthened into certainty when it was ascertained bya POST-DISPATOH reporter that the hall-way leading to the apartment occupied by the Grand Inquisition was crowded with witnesses residing in the Ninety-eizhth Precinct who had been summoned to testify’ this morning. Several of these witnesses had already ap- peared before the Grand-jury when questionea by a Post- D1sPaTou reporter.

LONDON, December 2.—Political information has been searce of late here, but yesterday 1 received a piece of the first importance, which I know to be a fact It is the expression of pré&ent opinion iu the highest quarters. It is that the dissolution of Paerilament is expected by Faster. The recent? conference which ; Harcourt, Moriey, Spencer and others have had with tone at Hawarden has been chiefly con ed with preparations of the programme to be set before the country and the details of the Liberal campaign. The dis- solution will be of the Tories’ own seeking, as the Government, especially Churchill, are utterly disguated with the Unionist alliance, and propose, after dis- bolving Parliament, to throw the Un- fonists overboard. They evidently expected to get a solid, genuine Conservative majority.

The Decision of the Southwestern Associa- tion Arbitrators According to Rumor. The Kansas Interstate Traffic Association, composed of the Kansas lines doing business in Southern Kansas, met again this morning. Nothing had been heard from the Committee on Arbitration, except from J. Waldo, one of the arbitzators, who passed through the city last evening, and stated that a decis- ion had been reached. It is ociaimed he hinted that the decision was in favor of making rates on a mileage basis. This the Santa Fe & Guif people positively state they have heard only Bacitic people. from Missouri O. G. Murray, Freight Traffic Manager of the Missouri Pacific, says he heard last night thut this was the decision, Dut declines to say who is his informant. If his is the case St. Louis has certainly gained a victo All of this morning’s session was taken up bDallot- ing for a commission to take charge of the affairs of the association. There is a dead- lock between J. D. Lot, at present Commis- sioner of the Kansas Live Stock Pool, and L. G. Cannon, formerly General Agent and Auditor of the Trans Continental Asso- clation. It is generally understood that a third maa will be sprung this afternoon, in the hope that a fresh man will break the dead lock. This man will be A. H. Highland. formerly Commissioner of the Chicago, St. Louis Kansas City Pool. It is understood that on the first ballot Mr. Highiand will receive six of the seven votes, The Santa Fe and the Gulf Lines representa- tives say thatthe arbitrators are withholding ision until the Commissioner is From a representative of a Kansas it was learned that the Mis- has withdrawn its de- mand of a differential and will be glad to accept the decision if it is on a mileage basis, but there are graye doubts as to the action of the Kansas City lines. They will probably appeal from the decision If itis an ing like the rumor now in circulation. e following dispatch was received this morning: THE ARBITRATOR'S DECISION. CHICAGO, December 2.—The Times this morning says: ‘‘Ailthough the Board of Arbi- tration submitted a seuled verdict in the mat- ter of Southern Kansus freight rates enough has leaked out to give an idea of the decision. 0 Louis is allowed a differential of 5 r cent on to Kansas City, or the local rate, Kansas City to Southern Kansas points For ex- ample, when the sum of the locals, 8t. Loui to Kansas City and 9 Kansas City to Wichita is $1, the Missouri Pa- cificand St. Louis & San Francisco will be al- lowed to make the rate from St. Louis to Wichita by their direct lines, of 95 cents a hundred, and to other points and on other classes in the same proportion. The Chicago lines through Kansas City are also privileged to make the same rate. Stating it in a nut- shell, the Kansas City local or terminal roads are debarred from using on Kansas City shipments to Southern Kansas, the propor- tion of the through rates from St. Louis. As will be seen the decision is nothing more nor less than a compromise. St. Louis demanded a 10 cent differential; Kan- sas City contended for a combination of the through and local rates. The arbi- traters give St. Louis a5 per cent differential. The pool isnot formed, and it is doubtful whetherthe outcome will be satisfactory to anybody. El Paso Pool Row. The Ei Paso pool meeting after breaking up in a row last evening was, with great effort, /Teassemble@ in room 88 at the South- ern this morning. The efforts of the lines +e J between El Paso and points in Arizona, exico and New Mexico have been directed toward the formation of a pool, but so far the work has proved fruitiess. If the arrangement is not consummated this evening the whoie matter will probably be thrown into the bands of arbitrators. A THEATRICAL SUIT. “Samuel of Posen” Sues John B. Jeffrey for False Imprisonment. New Tonk. December 2.—It is rumored that papers have been served on John B. Jeffrey, president and treasurer of the Jeffrey Printing and Publishing Company of Chicago, by Badmund E. Price, attorney for the plaintiff, Maurice B.

He is reported in excellent health and full of confidence and determina- tion. Engiand. , THE RENT WAR. LONDON, December 2.—The Times comment- ing on the rent war in Ireland says it wishes the Government would show that it is more conscious of its own strength. Whether by misfortune or fault, says the Times, the Gov- era ment fails to inspire the needfal confidence in its resolution. he struggle would soon end if the law would prove strong enough to make iteelf respected, and the Irishmen would quickly recognize their masters and range themselves on the winning side.

At Limerick and Waterford Nationalists have been nominated for the position of Sheriff in order to compel the Viceroy to appoint a Na- tionalist, the 2 desiring a Sheriff who will not manipaolate jury panels at the behest or the Government. A FAVORABLE OPINION. United Ireland publishes a legal opinion given by Rt. Hon. * 7 Holmes, Attorney - General ot Ireland, the Government, as to ite right to suppress the new movement of the Irish ational League, which aims to beat the landiords by having tenants de it with a trustee for tender, such sums below demanded rents as the tenants believe fair, and are able to pay. The line of action which the landlords pro- to have the Government to crush out this form resistance, was to arrest every person who should act as trustee, thus ren- dering the League’s plan ot paying rent futile, the landiords’ agents being, of course, debDarred from accepting ten- ders below the landlords figures. Attorney-General Homes says legal right to act as trustees for tenants as proposes by the Le e and the Government as no right to arrest them for so acting. Mr. Holmes also advises the landlords to seek some method of getting their moneys from tenants, which will not involve Government assistance. * Bulgaria. THE DEPUTATION OF NOTABLES.

From the reports of Deputy Supervisor Fred Kraut it appears that a great deal of nestionable work was done in the Ninety-eightb Precinct by the Judges of Election. Should the investigations of the Grand ju bear out Supervisor Kraut's report it will go hard with these gen tlemen, who are accused of refusing the votes of between thirty and torty colored voters. After citing the names of seventeen residents of the Ninety-eight Precinct and giving their number on the poll-books Mr. Kraut in hie re- port says: All of the colored voters registered On this book, whose names on the poll-books correspond with poll-book numbers, were re- ected.

Wood stated that the deputy supervisors in all of the pre- cincts of the Tenth Ward verified the names on the poll books before the date of the elec- tion and ascertained that they were not as- sumed, and that their owners resided at the addresses given on the poll-books. JUDGE TREAT stated in his instructions to the Grand-jury that the law provided forthe reception of the vote of a citizen if he was entitled to a vote, éven though his name did not ap on the poll-books.

WOOD said that not only were the votes of eighteen colored men rejected in the Ninety-eighth precinct, but between thirty and forty registered voters left the polis without voting at all, because the pee ohallenged their right, in the face of the fact that they were properly registered.

Meeting of the Council Committee on Sani- tary Affairs to Regulate the Burial of Per- sons Dying of Contagious Diseases—Mu- nicipal Notes and Gossip. The telephone and telegraph companies are eourting their destruction by their conduct with the City Hall officials. Several Delegates called at the House to-day and discussed the passage of a bill ordaining that the telegraph and telephone companies shall put all wires under ground within a certain lemgth of time. The conduit bill has been signed in both houses and only needs the signature of the Mayor to make it a law. As no objections have been filed against it, it is probable it will be signed by his Honor. When the Board of Public Improvements un- dertook to direct the location of wires, acting under the authority delegated to them by the Municipal N the telephone compa- nies rebelled. The board had decided to ob- struct the sidewalks as little as possible, and to this end directed thatthe wires be strung onthe same poles. To this end the Bell Tele- phone Company ojected on technichal law points. The question was taken to the courts and a decision was given inthe company’s favor on the points relied on. The permits to plant poles were then issued tothe company under the decision of the court, a responsibilit which the members refused to shoulder an in reguiar session directed the secretary to mark in legible characters across the permit the fact tnat the permit was issued in accor- dance with, and by the direction of the affirmed judgment of the Circuit Court. The company took advantage of this state of af- fairs and has been putting up poles in the west - ern portion of the city ata great rate. There have been halt a dozen rows between prop- erty-holders and the employes of the tele- graph and telephone companies who tres- pass on private property in stringing the wires. The companies have not wasted the opportunity gves them by the court. In the Board of blic Improvements a commit- tee of three has been appointed to recommend the proper course of legislation for the Municl- al Assembly in dealing with the companies n the House of Delegates feeling is hard against them for their conduct in this matter, and it is not improbable that a Dill will de in troduced to compel the companies to put their wires under ground regardless of the ex- pense to the stockholders. Burying the Dead, This afternoon the Council Committee on Sanitary Affairs met to consider the ordinance regulating and prescribing the munner and time of burial of persons who have died of small-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or cholera within the limits of this city. The second sec- tion of the ordinance is as follows: »The funerals of all persons who may have died of smaii-pox, diphtheria, scariet fever or cholera shall be —— and shall not be attended 7 any other rsons except the immédiate family of the eceased, and the body shall be conveyed directly from the house where the body is to the cemetery, and no bod of any erson, who shall have died of smali-pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever or cholera shail be taken to any church for the Pp of holding any rel 8 ceremony. An hn or persons found guilty of vio- any of the provisions of this section, or found guilty of assisting or conducting any funeral in any manner P by this sec- tion, shall upon conviction be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined: not | less than $50 nor more than 9 * The provisions of this section interfere to some extent with church rules, and are an in- novation which will probably meet with some opposition.

Sen, Josern B. Jonxsrox, Railroad LaMar, again refers to the fact that the Thurman act is not producing a sum su- clont to pay the debts, which will de due from the Pacific roads to the United States, and again he suggests that ‘‘addi- ‘tional and judicious legislation will be ‘necessary to enable those companies to “discharge their debts to the United „States Government.” . It is a well-known fact that no legisla- tion whatever was needed to enable them to pay those debts, and that they have failed to make provision for such payment only because they preferred to use the money in building thousands of miles of new roads freé from any lien on account of their Government loan. They have to provide for the United States bonds loaned to them, and the legislation they now ask for is merely a long extension of the loan at a lower rate of interest, to en- able their owners to go on building new branch lines with money that properly belongs to the people. As an ‘‘enabling act,” thatis all there is in the Pacific Rail- road Debt Extension bill which they hope to put through Congress this winter with- out any investigation of the fraudulent management and evasions of law by which the operation of the Thurman act has been rendered nugatory. The lobby had to let the extension bill go over last session because Congressmen feared to pass it on the eve of an election. But now, with a good many members in Congress already defeated and inclined to make the most of their remaining oppor- tunities, and some re-elected ones, ren- dered more bold, the lobby is so confident of passing the bill that U. P. stock has gone up from 45 to 60 since last March, although the official reports show that the new branches are not paying, and thatthe net earnings of the company are over $500,000 less than during the previous year. To pass the lobby bill under such g- cumstances” without ‘any investigation would be utterly indefensible; in view of the fact that the maturity of the loan is so far off as to give plenty of time for a thorough investigation. The general be- lief is that such an investigation would bill less acceptable to the roads but far better for the public. On the other hand no investigation is needed to show that some Congressmen are liable to be influ- enced by a boom in Pacific R. R. stock margins. aan — * N —— E » 1 6 N 2 ee R fet A Wasnincron y says that there was a hitch in the proposed between Miss Mitchell, the daughter of the Oregon Senator, and the Duc de Rochefou- cauld, who met her in Paris. and was deeply smitten by her charms.

What the Editors of the New York Journals P Are Saying this Morning. ‘ By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New Yorn, December?.—The WORLD says: „Even the President's mdssive corporosity is not proof against the insidious attack of the rheumatic fiend, Indeed, the more flesh and blood the greater the ‘ghoulish glee’ of this riotous imp. The country will hear with sin cere regret of the President’s slight but an- noying indisposition and wish him a speedy deliverance from the pernicious activity of this subtle but troublesome tormenter. THE SUN. The Sun says: There are several thousand offensive Republican partisans still in office whom Mr. Cleveland ought to remove. There is just one offensive Democratic rtisan whom he ought to have removed months ago, and ought to remove atonce. The Hon. Au- — H. Garland, Attorney-General, shouid e made to resign because he has been an of- fensive partisan of a special speculative com- pany whose shares he has sought to boom at the expense of the Administration and the United States. Pernicious Paa-Electric activ - 2 be punished with dismissal from office. Pubiic office must not be made a pri. vate speculation. Indeed, public office should bea publictrust. Tothe Mr. Cleveland who lesued the executive order of July, and te the Mr. Cleveland who wrote the Stone letter, this truth ought to be obvi us.’’ THE TRIBUNE, The Tribune says: The latest contribu- tion of the Benton episode renders it an ad- mirable subject for an author with a good eye for the ludicrous who would like to try his hand at opera bouffe. Itturns out that Ben- ton’s condoned political activity was at the expense of President Cleveland; that be took the stump in the late campaign partly for the purpose of bluntly expressing his dis- approval of the leading features of the olicy of this Administration; that he despitefully treated the President’s civil-service reform policy and took drastic issue with him onthe siiver question. Any- thing more delicious than this, in this way, remembering the ground upon which Mr, Cleveland sternly refused to reinstate District Attorney Stone, cannot de readily imagined.’’ THE TIMES. The Times one: ‘*The clergy certainly did not take into view the fact that there are bal- lets and ballets. The Pan-Athenaic procession was in the nature of a ballet and the clergy of St. Louis or any other city would not maintain it to be an exhibition of a ‘corrupting ten- dency.’ A parade upon the stage of the school mistresses of Massachusetts would be harmless, whether or not it were an appro- priate ‘accompaniment of lyricart.’ Even if the school mistresses danced, they would doubtless dance Hike Queen Elizaveth ‘high and disposediy,’ and it would not occur to the clergy to object to the performance or to the laity to attend it.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Henry George’s Theory of Land, To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: I see by a recent issue of the Post- DISPATCH that you oppose the national ownership of land as proposed by Henry George of New York, for the reason that, as you say, in substance, a denial of the right of individual ownership would be to deny the right of the Government to own lands. I shail not say uow whether I am in favor of the Henry George plan or not, but is it not true that the Government has, can and does exer- cise powers which an individual has not and cannot exercise? To deny thie would be to deny the right ot the exercise of the right of eminent domain, the right to tax land by the State, the right to grant charters, etc., all of which rights are datly exercised over the individual rights of private citizens by the State. Is it not also true that these pre-eminent rights could be extended far enough to give the Government the absolute ownership of the lunds? lam sorry to see & newspaper of the influence of the PosT-DISPATCH and one looked to so much as authority, so condemn the efforts of one laboring so bard in tne interests of the oppressed as Mr. George has been.

Fotheringham, the imprisoned Adams Express messenger, was made in the Criminal Court by his attorneys, ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson and Thomas B. Harvey. They delayed making the application until Judge Normile took his seat, because they thought Judge Van Wagoner would be apt to comply with the request of the State and fix the bond so hich that it would be impossible for them to furnish it, Judge Nor- — it was thought, would be apt to fix the bond at a lower figure.

Ordinarily a bond of $800 or $1,000 would be taken in a case of grand larceny, regardiess of the character of the defendant. Another thing the Court should take into consideration in fixing bail was the evidence against the de- fendant. From ali that was published in tho papers and all that he had been abie to learn the evidence against Fotheringham was very slender. Even in a case of murder in the first degree the Court had the power to admit the defendant to bail it the evidence against 8 examined and found to be only 8 * rouit Attorney Clover wanted the case presented in chambers, as he did not want to reveal the State’s case to thedefense. lie also asked that the matter be laid over until to- morrow morning, when ex-Judge Laughlin, employed as special counsel to prosecute the case, could be present. - JUDGE NORMILE said that he would not violate the provisions of the bill of rights which prohibits the requir- ing of excessive bail.

The letter was as follows: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto 2 Scripture of the Bible. Dear Mr. Thomas: Mr. Thomas In reply to your favor, I must say and repeat that I never 4hought to insult you n nor the company present. Instead, I was the insulted person, which insult took hold of my nervous system and made me leave the stage, as I could not face you and the company with tears in my eyes, and as Iwas ln a state of convulsion Mr. Locke persuaded me to go home, while I had told Mr. Perry that I wished to see you before going,and being unable to see you I came to the hotel and rested,in order to calm my nerves and be ready to sing to- — I would like to know if any one had in- suited you in the same way that i was aay treate what you would have done? do not doubt that you would have left the baton as I leftthe stage, that you would have felt as convulsively nervous as I did.

Itis an in- justice done to me and my unstained artistic reputation. I do not calmly consider the Injustice and insult done to the public who expect to see and hear me at to-night’s per- formance, for which I was advertised up to yesterday. I have protested against this wrongful action tothe board, and expect to have full justice rendered to me. Believe me, — devoted E. URSCH-MAaDI. St. Louis, November 80, 1886. Mme. Fursch-Madi said tbat in addition to the insult which was given to her by Mr. Hock in the manner in which be spcke to her she felt deepiy the wrong she had suffered by being rown out of the cast without investigation or notifivation. She says as an artiste and asa woman she had never been treated in this way before, and she re- sents it. She also says that the manage- ment have treated her asif they were anxious to have her break her contract and her has avoided anything into an insubordination. She says rs. Thurber is a dear friend and she is devoted to her. She thinks that this last letter from ber made Mr. Thomas think that he was in the wrong and ouaht to do some- thing to right himself. She heard no more from auy ot them until yesterday after- noon, when Mr. Godchaux, master of cos- tumes, Mr. Perry and Mr. Jaffrey called on her in her room at the hotel and presented a letter from Manager Locke. The letter en- closed atelegram from Mr. Thomas and re- quested her to inform him whether she accepted the conditions. The acceptance was to be in writing, and Mr. Locke stated that he would inform Mr. Thoms of the result. The telegram was as follows: When Mme. Fursch-Madi has discharged her agent and freed herself from such in- fluence and when she bas personally stated the facts which occurred, and thereby places Mr. Hock in the right light, thenI will with- draw my objection to her appearing on Thurs- day. THEODORE THOMAS. Effingham, III., December 1. In speaking of this telegram Mme. Fursch- Madi became excited and was emphatic in her remarks. It is nota question of atable or a chair, she said, ‘‘although I ran against them and hurt myself, but it is a question of insult from amantoa woman. I was nota man and could not KNOCK MR. HOCK DOWN for his rade manner, I was only a woman and so I turned my back and cried. I am the one to be placed in the right light. The apology is due to me and not Mr. Hock. I could have rehearsed ‘The Huguenots’ the next morning, as Miss Pierson did, and as I offered to do. I took Mr. Jattrey aside and said to him, ‘If you were in my place and your husband was unable to travel with you and should go to a friend and say, ‘I cannot go with my wife and I must remain at home with the family; will youattendto her and do what you can or her? and that friend should consent, would you discharge him and insuit him for advising and aiding you?’ Mr. Jaffrey said ‘No.’ Then I said ‘No—I will notunswer that telegram.’ The gentlemen then left with this answer.’’ Mme. Fursch-Madi said that when she went down to dinner last night Mr. Locke sent Mr. Godchaux to her tell her that if she would re ize Mr. Hock’s autuority manager she could sing in ‘‘Aida’’ to-night. She replied that it was not a ques- of table or chair or of stage man- agement, it was a question of personal insult to herand she had nothing to say on She was willing to just as she had * t in Philadelphia and Cincinnati; that was sufficient and was all she would do or say. She would sing without any conditions. Yesterday Mme. Fursch-Madi received a tel- egram from Mrs. Thurber in New York advising her to accept Thomas’ conditions and sing in telegram stated that Verle would come on to St. ulis to take Mr. de Vivo's place. It aleo advieed her that Mr. Jaffrey would help her and she would see her in Chicago. me. Fursch-Madi then sent the telegram mentioned elsewhere, stating that she would sing without conditions and would leave for New York Friday. She expected to o thereto appear before the Board.

The Oakview Purchase. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcu. WasHINGTON, D. O., December 2.—Marshal Wilson in an interview in this morning’s New York Star, gives the history of the purchase of the property subsequently acquired by the President. The real estate agent, Armes, he says, is a fussy man, with whom the President would not deal, and so he (Wilson) went to the owner of the property and informed him of the fact. The result was the owner of the property secured a release from Armes by paying him $100. Armes, according to Wilson, aid nothin but advertise the property forsale. He faile to find a purchaser, aithough claiming all the time to have several probable purchasers on his string. Wilson’s estimate of the whole matter is that Armes is seeking an advertise- ment. Wilson does not deny, however, that some time after the President cousummated his purchase he, Wilson, bought largely in the immediate neighborhood. crease of $184,584 ou Appointments by the President.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., December 2.—It appears that Speaker Carlisle will not have such an easy time in protecting his seat in the Fiftieth Congress, afterall. At the Capitol to-day, in- formation was received from Thoebe, the con- testant, stating that he had secured the ser- vices of Gen. Butier, which, of course, means the bitterest kind of a fight to unseat the Speaker. Lieut. Greely. WASHINGTON. D.

The Board of Marine Underwriters ordered the suspension of navigation this morning, in consequence of the surface of the river being filled with heavy new-made ice. It is the opinion of river men that unless a marked moderation of the cold takes place the river WIIl close before daybreak to-morrow. This is probably an extreme view of the case. In 1882 the ice gorged on the 7th of December the earliest closing recorded. At Davenport the ice gorged last night, earlier than it has closed in forty years with the two exceptions of the past two winters. The raftboats have been sent te ice harbors, and the saw- mills on the river bank have been — in as sale condition as possible, The Spread Eagle, City of St. Louis, Arkansas City and Belle Memphis were ordered into retirement this morning. Official orders were given by the Anchor Line and the Mississippi Valley Barge Line to all boats north of Cairo to get into winter quar- ters. In 1882 the river closed December 7; 1883, January 5; 1883-84, December 20; 188, Decem- ber 14; 1886, January 12. The Lilinois river is frozen at Peoria, and as the Signal Service report bas not been re- ceived from Kansas City it is thought that ice has closed the Missouri. CLARA MORRIS ILL.

Bellis presented the reports ofthe West End and yde Park Unions respectively. The report of Mrs. J. Sutlife was read by the president. It dealt with jail and prison work and recom- mended the appointment of @ matron at the Work- house. Mrs. Harris’ report on the police work was deferred in her absence. Sabbath observance was discussed by Mrs. H. H. Wagoner, who expressed the fear of an earthquake or some other dreadful thing if bt. Louis didn't stop being 80. da on Sunday. A recitation was then given by Miss Mary E. Harper, a colored worker from Philadelphia. After a halt hour’s prayer ser- vice the convention adjourned for lunch. THE BALLET, During the lunch hour the subject of the baliet was brought up in the con- versation that was going on at a lively rate, and a reporter catching such words as We ought to denounce it,’’ and „It's a shame, isn't it?’’ asked the opinion of Mrs. Clara Hoffman President of the Missouri W.

I think we Americans would rally to the support of a pure balletiess opera. There is some talk of your opposing it in your meeting?’’ ‘*Yes,’’ said the lady, we shall bring the matter up and pass upon it, and you can depend upon it we will sustain the Evangelical Alli- ance. The ballet is immoral, and I don’t think we are afraid to say so. Mrs. P. B. Robert, who is president of the convention, indorsed Mrs. Hoffman’s views.

Levi Wilson was seen at the office of his counsel, George G. West, this morning. He ppeared pale and haggard, as though he had passed a sleepless night. The excitement of the ast few hours seems to have af- fected him greatiy, and he was nervous and apparently worn out. Hesaid that now the secret was out he felt better than he had since he was 17 years of age. If, said he, the Wilsons (meaning the people with whom be had lived during bis boyhood days) stand by me now, 1 shall win my case and triumph over Moen.’’ He said his alleged mother lived in East Thompson, Conn., and his two sisters, Mrs. Downs and Mrs. Young, in Birmingham, and Ansonia, Conn. Wilson stated that the story as published is true and that Moen’s statement is false in nearly every particulur. **Moen,’’ Wilson said, ‘‘knows that I am his son. He is an admitted perjurer.’’ He said he would continue his case in the courts to the conclusion, which he felt confident would be in his favor. Wilson was advised by his physician to go to his home, take some quieting potion and de- vote the rest of the day to sleep. STILL A MYSTERY. The secret of the case remains as much of a mystery as ever. The dates and ali the evi- dence collected to-day contradict the sensa- tional story telegraphed from Providence last night that ‘‘Doc’’ Wilson is the son of Philip Moen. Wilson, by his own state- ment and the statement of his friends, cannot be more than 31 or 32 years of age. Moen was first married in 1846, forty years ago, and his first wife died before Wilson was born. Those dates alone contradict his story completely. Life-long residents of Worcester say it is impossible that Moen could be any such relation to Wiison. The first Mrs. Moen was a lady of very lovely character. She wasafirmand upright woman, and neither she nor her family would have countenanced any such proceedings as are alleged. MOEN’S ANTECEDENTS. Moen’s father was a New Yorkiron mer- chant, residing in Brooklyn when Phillip L. Moen came to Worcester. An old cham of Wilson’sin this city says there is no truth in the story, and that Wilson is no more Motn’s son than be is.

New York, December 2.—Judge Donohue of the Supreme Court has granted attachments against the property of Anton Rives, of No. 80 Lispenard street, arrested last night on complaint of his former book-keeper Clifford Kemp. Kemp charges that Rives or- dered him, — book keeper, to change the ac- counts of the business so as to show assets to the amount of $300,000, when in reality there was only $8,000 worth.Kemp alleges tuat this was done witn the intent ance to receive $3,000 for the job, that an insurance aajaster was paid $4,000 to give a favorable report.

WASHINGTON, D. ©., December 2.—The Department of Justice is not inclined to be- eve the statement by the Missouri editor al- leging that District Attorney Benton of Mis- souri, before suspension, was guilty of mak- ing speeches derogatory to the “President and his policy. The Attorney-General is reticent ject, other than to indicate that reinstatement will stand, while lismiseal from the service was as emphatic as it was possible to make it, and there need be no ho for Mr. Stone receiving any modification. A member of the Missouri delegation in Con- gress said to-day to a PoOsT-DISPATOH reporter that he had understood Benton in his speeches was severe on the Administration, and for a few days after the suspension it was understood that the cause for the suspension was b upon the character of the speeches he had delivered.

WasHINGTON, D. C., December 2.—Mr. Tren- holm, in an interview to-day upon the subject of National banks and the bond situation,said: “sswell as I can judge from the reports sent inbere by National banks in all parts of the Tnited States there is a geueral steadiness in commercial and industrial matters. “Ie not National bank currency being rapid- ly reduced in yolume?’’ “Yes, itis. The annual report of the Comp- roller shows a reduction from November l, i, to November 1, 1886, of about $56,000,000, but a table just made up sbows that for the twelve months ending December 1, the de crease has beon over $65,000,000. °’ “Do you apprehend a panic in conse- wence?’’ eNO, Idonot. Panics generally arise from ssudden check of confidence, and there are no signs at present of any cause likely to pro- doce such an effect. Business men complain of rather too much tranquility. The ques- nom ot anew basis for the national banks is pw being considered and discussed among he people and bythe newspapers, and may perhaps come up in Congress. It is a most importantquestion, but there is no pressing need for immediate legislation. xisting bunks are supplied with bonds and in the aggregate they hold three times the amount required by law. The trouble is that they are not generally disturbed. The newer banks, especially in the Westand South, are not as well supplied with 4 and 4% per cent bonds as the older banks in the Eastern States, but, as a rule, banks already estab- lished will possibly find a way to get along until some new legisiation can be obtained.

FOURTH AND LOCUST. * THE CIVIL COURTS. How a Prescription Clerk Lost His Position— Divorce and Damage Suits. A damage suit for defamation of character was filed to-day in the Circuit Court by Alfred W. Bently against Mary C. Driggs. The plain- tiff was a druggist in the employ of Mr. M. W. Alexander as a prescription clerk. He alleges that on the th of No- vember Mrs. Driggs in the presence of others made a false, malicious and injurious statement ofand concerning him to the effect that he formerly was in her employ, and that she had reason to doubt his integri- ty.

He has since made an effort to secure employment but without success, and he * LV. damages against Mrs. Driggs in the sum of $5,000. Not of a Domestic Turn. Stephen Logan has applied to the Circuit Court fora decree of divorce from Mary Logan. The marriage took piace June 20, 1883, and the separation June 15, 188%. Mr. Logan com- plains that dis wife’ rendered his condition intolerable by a persistent course of abuse and conduct unbecoming a wife. He allewes that she sub- jected him to various indignities and made use of vile language. Sherefused and neglected to perform her household duties and remained out of an evening until very late bours, some- times after midnight, offering no explanation for her absence. Her husband frequently uttered aremonstrance at this condition of affairs but it had no effect, and at length her absence and neglect became intolerable. Mrs. MeGerry’s Trials. Annie MoGerry has flled a suit in the Circuit Court seeking a decree of divorce from Fran- cis J. McGerry. They were married at Ottumwa, April 20, 1870, and continued to live together until January, 184. Mrs. McGerry alleges that her husband failed to support her and in order to provide forthe four children she has — to go out canvassing and at other times take in sewing. For some time she was forced to seek employment as a nurse. She asks foradecree and for restoration at her maiden name, Annie Milburn. The Lindell and Henry Ames, Judge Lubke rendered a decision to-day in State. The actual situation of affairs at the Armory and the extent of the discontent among the members of the regiment is of a very serious nature. Some facts and figures collected by a POST-DISPATCH reporter are very significant when taken in this connection. For instance, twenty-nine officers of the regiment have be- come dissatisfied with their. surroundings within the past year and resigned from the State service. he names of those officers and the positions formeriy accupied by them are as follows: Col. E. D. Meier, Lieutenant- Colonel; Robt. Buchanan, Captain; Geo. C. Betts, Chaplain; Capt. J. 8. J. Miller, Com- missary; Capt. Walter Leve, Ordnance Officer; Capt. EK. V. Walsh, Commissary; Capt.

Price, Troop A, 22 About . months ago the members ot the regiment decided to leave unfilled all vacan- cies which might occur, until after the State Legislature had taken action on THE MILITIA BILL which it is proposed to introduce this winter. The vacancies which have occurred since that time and on which no action has been taken areas follows: Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Commissary of the Regiment; Second Lieu- tenant, Company B; First Lieutenant, Company D; Captain, Company F; Second Lieutenant, Company F. The regiment is in charge of Maj. C. D. Comfort, and will remain under his command until it disbands or is re- organized. One year Peters, 7 0 526 men of the regiment regu- larly attended drill at the Armory. The cavairy and battery swelled this number to 645. At that the regiment numbered twelve companies, not including the cavalry and 4 Since then four companies have disbanded. These were D, K, old Fand H. When Company K disbanded, Capt. W. C. Marshall did not hes- itate to say that the action of the company was influenced by the failure of the State to reimburse the militia for its service in the field, and it was with difficulty that other companies could be withheld from following the lead ef K. At present there are eight companies in the regiment and the membership of the regiment, company at Kirkwood, one in North St. Louis and the cavairy and artillery is 442. Of these 442 men on the rolls of the regiment the average af-endance at drills during the hast six months has deen 160.

This will home. serve to keep the interest from lagging, which is often the case where an almost interminable number of games is tbe rule. Thie year, for instance, the season was half over when many persons could be heard to remark that the end was a long ways off, and the fact that such and such a club was bebind could not be taken fer granted that they would not occupy this or that ition at the close. The number of games played this season Was so great, that on account of the ties and — — 2 not one club in the Association played its full quota of mes. The schedule was made with ve few stop- ping places, the consequence being that it was a rush from start to finish. There were scarcely any days allotted for drawn or post- poned games. Then again the clubs of the two assuciations did not give their home pa- trons a enhance to see the other, with one or two possible exceptions, all on account of the large number of games scheduled for the cham- ionship series. The number could very easily reduced without any financial loss, per- mitting the playing of ail postponed or drawn games, anda greater number of contests be- tween the clubs of the riyal organizations, which would prove just as interesting and profitable. There is no sense in having the championship schedule composed of such a great number of games that it is impossible to carry it out if one rainy day should intervene. — ROBBED THE MAILS, A Postal Clerk on the Grand Rapids & In- diana Railread Arrested.

Huse, assignee of the Lindell Hotel Association, vs. Henry Ames, in which a motion for leave to filea third amended sup- plemental answer was overruled. Mr. Ames ports of officers of the day are not reliable and it is difficult to obtain anything like good information on the subject of drill attendance. It is known, how- ever, that the largest companies in the regi- ment experience great difficulty in mustering a Sergeant’s squad on drill nights. An officer of the artillery stated to a Post-DISPATCH 5 porter a few days ago that the officer of the day had informed the battery boys on several occasions that they had the largest attend- ance at diill in the Armory, when the battery had not more than eight men in line. On the evening of November 23 a battalion drill was ordered by the commander of the regiment. Two out of four of the companies ordered out failed to putin an appearance, and of course there was no battalion drill. The week previous, on the evening f Novem- ber 17, three ou“ of five companies disobeyed orders by not turning out for battalion drill when ordered to do so. These occurrences are of recent date, and illustrate the lack of interest taken by the men in their military duties. This situation of affairs 1 explained by the fact hat for seven months the companies have nct been paid by the Citizens’ Fund Committee, which is supposed to collect money from the business men to pay to the militia for attend- ance at drill. Each man is allowed 2 cents for every drill he participates in. These pay- ments are made tothe company commander who devotes the money to the payment of COMPANY EXPENSES. The total amount due the ten companies at the Armory. based upon what they received og ay to last May, when there was money n the fund, is $1, at least. In addition to this the Armory janitor, watchman and the Regime.ital Armorer have not been paid their salaries for three months, and there is due them about $480. These three men are regular employes of the Trwgi- ment and are in constant attendance at the Armory, and are dependent for their living upon the money paid them by the Citi- zens’ Committee. In previous years it has been the custom of the Citizens’ Committee, in winter, to hire an engineer to run the steam heating apparatus at the Armory. The city furnishes fuel, and the committee have only to provide an engineer to insure the heat- ing of the building; but thus far this season no engineer has been employed and the company quarters at the Armory are any- thing but comfortable on chilly evenings. engineer would cost the Citizens’ Committee about $60 per month, There is a movement on foot among some of the officers to suspend drilling until the weather gets warmer and un- less an yy is engaged shortly this will babi one. ithe Oontertown trip is a sore spot with most of the boys.

BOYD'S OFFICIAL REPLY. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: As a Vice-President of the Alliance, there being at present no acting President, I desire to put before ‘‘a fair-minded public’’ this re- ply to the card of the ‘‘managementof the Na. tional (American) 7 Company,“ published in the city papers of yesterday, in reference to the recent action of the Alliance in condemn- ing the ballet. As Christian ministers we earnestly coun- seled all Christian people to refrain from patronizing such amusements as present spec- tacular representations of sensuality as are manitestly immoral in their influeacs and de- structive of spiritual life. The managers of the American Opera. doubtless to protect their business, now protest against our action. But, are we not, as pastors, under imperative obligation to protect the members of our churches and congregations from demoraliz- ing influences? th in the resolutions and their discussion we were careful nottocondemn the opera perse. Indeed, some of us would enjoy at- tending a pure opera, free from immoral ad- juncts. e had hoped in the present move- ment to establish the American opera, from the character of its management and the place it was to be given in our city, that we could freely attend and counsel our people to do the same. But when for divertissement, or ad- vertisoment, to draw a certain class of auditors, the ballet was insisted upon, there remained, in duty to our people and in justice to ourselves, but one ceurse for us to ursue. How could we condemn and seck to abolish the low dramasinthe variety theaters of the city, if we ind rsed by our presence or silence the modern ballet? And by the ballet Imean the actual performance on the stage— not = character of the persons who com- pose it. The managers’ card, in answer to our mod- erate resolutions, is certainly s most unique ++ agen Let me take up ite points in order. 1. The ballet has always been recognized as an appropriate and barmiess accompani- ment of lyric art. Whoever before heard o **lyric art' ? We have heard of 4 2. sons“ and ‘‘lyric poetry, but lyrie art“ —O tem- ra! O mores! Lyrie art, if the phrase as any significance, means the art of song accompanied by tne lyre. But ballet is the art of ia Ty and bailets are ‘‘dumb come- dies. If by ‘‘lyric art’’ be meant the lyrical drama, then I deny that the modern ballet has alvays been an appropriate and harmiess accompaniment’’ of it. On the Grecian and Roman stages there were „ that represented a mythological story. ora scene froma tragedy, by mute gestures ;"’ but they were always males and accompanied by a chorus, to interpret through song their gestures, and they were never em- pioyed, as is the modern ballet, for the sie purpose of executing “‘steps, leaps, piroueties and entrechats The Middie Ages present no record of anything approaching the ballet. The ballet d'action, which led to the modern baliet, 8 generally put by historians fh the sixteenth century—the introduction of the Italian style of ballet in 1581. If the managers ot the American Opera had been a littie better acg uainted in the domain of artistic and his- torical reason, in which they claim to be working, they would not have made such an indefensibie claim for the ballet But were we to grant that the ballet has al ways been an accompaniment of the lyrical drama, it would still remain for them to prove that it has always been appropriate and harmless. This we deny most emphatically. The ballet is not appropriate, because it is not essential to the artistic rendition of the opera, being, in most instances, dragged in by sheer force and not helping in any degree its interpretation; and in every instance, as far as affording a respite tothe artists or audi ence, it might well be omitted and its place filled by some musical feature of an altogether unobjectionabie character. The ballet is not **harmices,’’ because, in its ideal, it presents not the horridand deterrent aspects of sen- suality, but ite most fascinating and at- tractive. 2. Beautiful stage 1 [ballets, I pre- sume] are. perhaps, the nearest possible ap- prouchto heavenly scenes. To speak thus confidently the managers must have been like St. Paul, ‘‘cauyght up into the third heavens ;’’ but, untike bim, do not hesitate to tell what was there seen. They saw a ballet! But for the rest of as mortals the only descrip- tions of heaven are the writings of Emmanuel Swedenborg, who describ: s noscenein heaven resembling a ballet. and the Revelation of St. John, who distinctly affirms that there is no such thing in heaven, for, writes he, ‘‘there —— in no wise enter into it anything that de eth.’ 8. **To the pure all things are pure. Is a house of prostitution pure? is assertion that all things are pure isthe devil’s own ar- ument, first used (as far as we have record) nthe temptation of Mother Eve,and ever since employed with unwitting people: Come and taste; ye shall de as gods, knowing good and evil.’ 4. To condemn without seei is neither Christian-like nor reasonable. pass over the necessary inference of this sentence, that **Obristian-like’’ and ‘‘reasonebie’’ are, in the mind of the managers, antithetic terms. To act like a Christian is not to de less than or different from a reasonable man ; it is to conform to the high- est reason. But ‘‘tocondemn without see- ing!" What a crime! Is sight, thef, the only avenue of knowledge? Must a clergyman enter a brothel and look spon ite scenes with hisown eyes, before he is at liberty to con- demn vice Gan he not determine the merits ofa public performance on the testimony of relinbie witnesses? What, then, are the news- papers for? The criticioms of the press, re vealing the immoral tendencies of the modern ballet, have been many and caustic There are before me as write a large number of clippings from one of our city newspapers, describing in detail! the performances of the baliet of the American era Company, and these ‘‘heavenly scenes“ are depicted under such headlines as: Lege and Lutes. A Com- bination pleasing alike to Dades and Devotees. The Aboriginal American Ballet.

The show bills of these disreputable — the romises of entertalnment hey make and the scenes in the Police Court growing out of attendance upon them would prove that they are unfitas places of amuse- ment.

In ballet I don’t see what the Alliance could do but utter ite conscientious protest if they are the guardians of the morals of the community and are expected to sound the note of alarm. ‘*Do you believe that the ballet is essential to the production of the operas of the Ameri- can Opera Company. THE BALLET USELESS. In my jadgmen: the ballet is not essential to the production of the 1 in their reper- tolre, or any other, tor that matter, and all thie talk about it being necessary to ‘Faust’ is absurd.

The world is not any better because of our silence. “What is your opinion of the ballet, Doctor?’’ A SHAME AND DISGRACE. I have not seen the ballet connected with the ‘ merican Opera Company, and hence have no ht to speak of its particular mode of dress and dancing; but of the ballet in general I must say that it seems to me indecent. Few who look on would care to see it but for its exposure of woman's form, and fewer still would not regard such an exposure by their own sisters or daughters as a shame and dis- race. I wonder that any woman will lend the ae of her presence to such a degra- ation.’ DO YOU WEAR GLASSES?

Yesterday the Southern Express Company retired from whatis known as the Queen & Crescent Route, which extends from Cincin nati to Chicago and New Orleans over the Cin- cinati Southern and several smail allied lines. The Baltimore 4 Ohio Express Company succeeds the Southern, having secured the contract on the expiration of the Southern’s agreement. Previous to yesterday the entire territory east of the Mississippiand south of the Ohio was occupied by the Southern to the exclusion of all other companies. Ina few days it will run into St. Louis from the South over the Mobile 4 Ohio Railroad, and will open an office at 102 North Broadway for the purpose of panes expected business Since the decision of the United States courts sustaining the action of the Iron Mountain Railroad, in refusing to renew its contract with the South.- ern or allow itto do business over that road the Southern has deen shut out of st Louis. The Iron Mountain Railroad took this action originally in the laterest of the Pacific Express Company, which is one of the fictions of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. The office of the Adams Express Company and its ware- houses have served tor the southern also and express business intended for transporta- tion over the latter's routes went out of St. Le nis on Adams’ routes to connecting routes.

Thev are made for each other and together are born of the glow of Indian skies, under the shadow of the temples, in the shades of the jungles, in thé warm simmering atmosphere where love is passion and passion the breath of life. The Wagner worshippers say that Delibes composes melody and melody is weakness. It is not real music with an ideal, with a motive, with intellectual conception harmoniously de- veloped. Well, human nature shares in the failing and clings to weaknesses. Men and women cannot live on the hard bread of philosophy forever. They will turn to their pates and salads and wines now and then. They want some of the cake and pie of music. They want to top off a solid dinner with a dainty dessert, It is a weakness like the weakness for diamonds and for sealskin sacgues. Life wouldn't be worth much with- out a few such failings. One had just as well de sincere and confess to a liking for melody and for the ornaments ofmusic. It is possibile to take the substan- tials with good grace and perhaps to train a palate to want nothing else, but the majority of people will always welcome a delicate musical lunch such as was spread last night even if it isn’t entirely soiid, nor original, nor strong. L’ Allemand is not only an artiste, but she belongs to that rare epecies—honest artistes. She is genuine in her merits and does not con- ceal her faulte. Her merits are so brilliant that itis not necessary to apologize for her fail- ‘ase. What she can doissorich in accom- — shment that what she cannot do is buried a jeweled setting. Her Lakme is a work of art. The Indian maiden with dusky skin, which is the reflex of her impulsive nature, isthe central figure of the gorgeous oriental scenes and the passion- ate tragedy of the opera. She does not over- draw it, but creates a gentie, unsophisticated giri, the product of the religion, the climate, the half-savage environment, the race of India. Naive, impuisive and warm, she moves through the events of the sad story in song with charm ng grace and ease. And her singing! It is indescribable, with no bint of the real quality of her voice in her lower notes, which are unsatisfactory. As soon as she reaches her proper range she breaks into ripples of sweet sounds that are simply enrapturing. Who can describe a sen- sation of delight? To attempt to analyze it would be to destroy its charm,to clip the soaring wings of music, to dam a trickling brook that sings in mellifluous mur- murings through pebbled channel and moss banks, to tear the illusion from a dean. to let in a cold wave on a warm, cozy parlor. Nosane person would do it. One can only love in the luxury of sweet sounds, be caressed by the soft, dainty fingzers.of barmonious vibrations, be steeped in the intoxicating wine of sensuous melody. It is expressed in enraps silence and thrills. There are in the clever, pure, bell-like notes of L’Allemand’s voic® suggestions of the warbling of birds in ee of babbling brooks, of leaves rustling to the breath of summer zepbyrs,of everything that is tuneful, of the niusic that nature composes in its sweet- est moods and phases. This may be rhapsod at it follows upon an attempt to describe Allemand's vocaliza- tion. Itis necessary to rhapsodize to be in sympathy with the audience. Everyone was in thishumor. You could see it in the faces, the eager expressions, the breathless silence soe bursts of applause. The air was full of it. There is no claptrap in her brilliant effects. Every note is sounded clearly and sweetiy without strain. Her stuccato notes are like taps of a bell, her runs and trills are marvellousiy executed. her echoes are true, and while delicate and light were 80 full of tane as to be heard in every part of the hall. In this field of accomplish- ment she is equal to Gerster, and her person- ality is more pleasing. The dell so In the second act was a mar- vel f brilliantexecution. There was not a fault; nota weak or unsatisfacto note; it was à pure gem of song. And that last* note! It was a finale that t ok the breath away from the listeners. One followed her note by note up, up, up. and then lost her on the last jump. The final flap of her wings was too much for them She was buried in the clouds and it was uncertain whereshe stopped. It was somewhere in the neixhborhood of the top of the scale, and would make a piano rack to keep up with her. And the wonder of it was that she didn’t seem to mind the feat much, nor to think she was doing anything remark- able. She took it like a record-breaking pole vaulter takes an — A This is one noticeable quality about L' Alle - She does her work easily, and an unconscious, unaffected way of doing big things, She aidn’t shriek out a warning of her purpose and rush franticaliy up the steps of the temple when she made her fall, but walked quietly up and dropped back and bumped down until her bead struck the floor and her feet rested on the top step. Those who were not looking for it missed it, but it was neatly done. Her whole performance was a triumph for the little artiste. The opera was produced in even more gor- geous style than last season. The scenery was charactertistic and superb, and the cos- tumes were rich and striking, making a splen- did mise-en- scene. The orchestration was softened to the melodious character of the music and was less dominant than usual. The best of the cast outside of L’ Allemand ' were Alonzo Stoddard, who took the part of Niiakantha, and Jessie Bartlett Davis who was the Mailika. Mr. Stoddard’s Priest was admirably sung, and while it was not as dramatically strong as it might have been, it was nevertheless adMirably sung. Miss Davis bada small t which was cleverly bandied. Her duet with L’Allemand was charmingly sung. Mr. Charles Bassett was weak as Gerald. His voice was not capable of —— the work and the part was poorly treated dramatically. Mathilde Phillips was excellent as Mrs. Bentson, and the minor peste were fairly taken by C. M. Leumane, ohn E. Brand, Virginia Logan and Rose Ritchie. The ballet was short, but gorgeous in spec- tacle and excellent in dancing. Carozzi and De Gillert danced gracefully and skillfully. The costames were rich and beautiful, makin a 83 scene in the opening of the secon act, mand. An Occasional Critics View.

So dramatic was her representation of her part that the audience was fairly carried — and expressed tbeir approbation in enthusiastic applause. Her great triamph came in the imitation of the bells, rendered with an accuracy and execution which might almost be said to rival Patti. In the death scene her powers were taxed to the utmost. Her despair was terribly real; and as she gradually wound up to the climax she carried with her the almost breathiess sympathy of the audience. Unfortunately, however. she stood almost alone. The only member ofthe company who could be said to 2 her at ail being Mr. Stoddard as Nilakantba. Charles Bassett s Gerald was poor, to speak mildiv. Not only did he lack strength and purity of voice, but his representation was at times so weak as to mar the love scenes with Lakme. His bigh notes were strained and evidently beyond his powers of execution, thus spoiling some of the most plaintive melodies. At times, however, he came out with a burst of passion that to somejextent redeemed his previous fall. ures. The minor parts were fairly represented by Miss yy as Ellen, Miss Ritchie as Rose and Miss Phillips as Mrs. Benson. The ballet was good in every respect, the dresses exqui- site, and the dancing superb; the whole, in spite of minor defects, forming a very fair representation of Delibes’ beautiful opera. — 1 RUBENSTEIN’S BALLET. Manager Locke Determines to Change the Bill for Saturday Matinee. The ballet question is one that has exercised both the public and the management to a greatextent and the pros and cons have all had their say. Manager Charles Locke speak- ing of it to-day said: The ballet of the American Opera Company is in no sense a vulgar display, but on the contrary is used to give a series of ictures that are graceful and beauti- ul and arranged with such care and perfection of drill and execut-d with such dignity as to divest it entirely of the slightest intimation of indelicacy. The action of the Evangelical Alliance has inno way in finenced our board. At the same time we re- gret exceedingly that they should kave taken ——— to act as they have. I know that Mrs. Thurber feels hurt and misunderstood. Mrs. Thurber herself is a member of the Presby- terian Church, and only cansen:s to the ballet as a necessary accessory in the grand scene which it is the aim of the American Opera to fittingly present. Since we have been here stron effort has been made to have ‘Merry Wives’ omitted from the repertoire for the Saturday afternoon ae amd the charmin opera base anes the welk known fable o Pyxmalion and Galatea, in which Miss Laura Moore appears to much actvantage in con- junction with Rubenstein’s ‘Bal Costume’ and the grand spectacular ballet substi- tuted for it, and I'm happ to sa that if such really be the wis of the citizens that within the half hour I have received instructions from the board in New York to grantit. Therefore it is very . — that this change will be made for the Saturday atternoon performance. Later Mr Locke determined to change the repertoire and the bill tor Saturday afternoon will de Galatea and the Bal Costume. Amusement Notes.
