We are quite willing to concede that Ah-rao- irr Ooustoox is "not afraid to do what he considers to be his duty." The difficulty arises from his conception of his duty. There is a feeling prevalent in the oommnnlty that Mr. Oomstogx's first duty is to get false and prurient Ideas out of his own head or to cease imputing such ideas to those whose imaginations ore healthful and whose tastes are fine. It is not Mr. Ookstocx's duty to emascu. late Art nor to oloak Beauty. "v'U- - THE WOMBH W0EXEB8. The women workers of New York are en- deavoring to organise for protection and advancement. The movement should suoceed. If any class of workers needs protection, it is the women. They are subject to greater priva- tion, greater hardship, greater injustice than their masculine As testified to at Pythagoras Hall last night, shirts are still being made at 45 cents a dozon. Other work is often in proportion And in addition to these starvation wages, a system of petty tyranny and fines provails in many shops. Is there no hope for the slaves of the noedle r Has trade starved out not only the spirit of ohivalry but the spirit of justice to women t EIQBT OH THEIB SIDE. The coal magnates say that the troubles in the Lehigh region are "of little conse- quence. We shall certainly win and the men will be forced to terms." Very possibly. Everything except a shrinkage of fat dividends is "of little con- sequence " to the coal barons. But, though the power of combined capital is against them, the miners in their domond for a shore in the Increased prosperity have Right on their side. And Bight has been known to triumph even in a more desperate cause. It's a very long road without a turning, even among the coal hills. THEY BEAR THE OUBBE There is ono class of workers for temper-anoeth-at ought to be, and in the main is, safo from gibe and ranoor. It is the women upon whom the ourse of drunkenness rests most heavily, and when women unite to protoct their homes from its blight their provocation and their aim should secure for them at least the respect of silenoo from those who do not believe in their remedies for an evil that none can dony. Woman's suffering from drunken husbands, fathers, sons and brothers gives her a right to call for all the protection that society can justly give. " TO BE COHTINUED." Bo Bosxnr Bonnes retires, and the Now York Ledger, like its stories, is " to be con- tinued." The marvellous stories, whose tantalizing first chapters are given in the dailies, will still appear " in our next." The budding poet will still havo his "corner." The rev- erend doctors of divinity will still furnish in one column tho antidoto to tho blood-curdlin- g yarns in anothor. Whllo the Ledger aims to " instruct," its didaotio doses are always conveniently placed for skipping. Its fund of amusement is at any rato large, its moral tone is high, and the Ledger is, on tho whole, one of tho best papers of its class. As to BosEnT Bonnze, may he, too. " be continued " for many years in the enjoyment of the fruits of his labor. Apt alliteration's artful aid is a dangerous relianoe out West. A man has incurred the penalty of a year's Imprisonment in Mil- waukee for calling an Alderman a " Budden-sei- k builder and burly boodler." The libeller should havo built his own word structure on a basis of hard fact. The Coroner's jury In Harlem blamed Father Kibneb for the sohool-hous- e disaster instead of the Inspector who failed to en- force the law. But how can a dead priest be expected to have as much "infiuonco" as a live Inspector. After Dr. Mackenzie's positive prediction of the fatal result of the Crown Prince's ill. ness, only a very strict constructionist in professional ctiquetto would blame him for desiring a change of doctors. Tho Southern method of dissuading Mormon missionaries with a coat of tar and feathers and the " gooso-flcs- h " creating bay of the bloodhounds is hardly constitutional, but is likely to prove effective. It is a curious fact that of the four Inde- pendents in the House not one comes from the sections whero Mugwumpery is popularly supposed to havo its abode. Tho French Minister of Justico has re- signed, lint don't lose any sleep about Mr. Garlato's successor. There's nothing about resignations. The straw bondsman exposed by The Woblb has bcon found guilty. There will be no further doubt as to ho w the wind blows in theso cases. LtziT, Fbeddis and Bonsrs are out. Here's a state of things. Here's a how- - de.do. The JJrotherhood of Ball-Playe- rs do (not xelish-- a Fatherhood of Ball Magnates. EXPENSIVE TO HOID LOTS. WHAT IT C0ST8 TO OWN UWMPEOTED PROPERTY IN THIS dTY.

In this were found 08,110 in BEOPLE to vote for Oeorge, the a little more number were In the whole year who, in of a discus, his land-ta- x r!rtHC-- s' V "teas, were renay i K 2? Rtmp those theories I'l-- T LJESjjj, tholr indorse- ment. Mr. Oeorge has boon accusod of a dis- tortion, or, at loast, a misapprehension of facts in his efforts to show thot there was a grind, ing monopoly in land, and that the poor were being deprived of the land whioh thoy wero joint owners of with the possessors or nom-in- owners, no has said that ono-thir- d of Manhattan Island was covored with vacant lots, held by tho lucky children of rioh parontnge for a riso in valuation, without its being of tho slightest valuo to any ono, and that by reason of tho gathering hore of hun- dreds of thousands of pooplo, the valuo of thoso lots was doubling and quadrupling vory fast, to tho nolo benefit of tho pooplo whoso parents claimed titlo to thom, while a ma- jority of tho city population was hived up in crowded and unhealthy tenements. A Woiild reporter who has boen Inves- tigating tho matter has fnilod to find any data wheroby ho could learn tho proportion of tho ncreaco of this island now vacant and held as " city lots." There is a vast traot of vacant land, however, on each side of Cen-tr- I'ork. In Fifth avenue thoro aro a host of vacant lots botwoen Fitty-fi- f th stroot and Uarlom Itivor. Mr. Goorgo has repeated over and over again that tho holders of these vacant lotH should bo compelled cither to build upon them or to pivo thorn up to bo distributed osaln. Ho has insisted that they should bo taxed so high that it would not bo profltablu to retain thom unoccupied. Hero aro somo facts: Mary O. Pincknoy is one of the sort of holders by inheritance against whom the Georgo theorists inveigh. Sho is down in tho assessment rolls for 138 lots In the Twelfth Ward. Those lots aro in Fifth and Bixth avenues, and Ono Hundred and Tenth, One Hundred and Eleventh and Ono Hundred and Twolfth streets, between those ovonues. They aro assessed at $466,000, which is on a basis of one-ha- lf of their market valuo. Tho rato of toxos Is 92.10 for every $1,000, or 810,065.60 to tho city for the 188 lots. That is a Qno of $78 each for holding theso lots dur- ing 1887. No rovenuo it derivod from them. Cornor lots in Fifth uvonuo cost a pretty as investments. I?or instance, thero is Sonny cornor of Fifty-fift- h street, which is assessed at $55,000. Its owner, Mrs. Ilamereloy, will pay 11,188 into the coffors of tho city for tho fun of its possession this year. This rato is considerably lower than over before. In 1888 tho tax rato was $23.90 per thousand : in 1H8S it was $'24: in 1881 it ' wiih !B!i2.M) and in 1883 it was S22.90 por thou- sand. Tho assessment on tliis lot has boen thn samn in these yoars. Thus in 1BHR Mrs. Ilatuersloy'u corner lot cost hor $1,259.60: in lBSSltcoHt $1,320; in 1881 it cost $1,237.60 and in ISM it cost $1,259.60. Tho lot is 24 foot front on Fifth avonuo and runs back 100 feot on Fifty-fift- h btroot. In 1882 tho ratewaB $22.50 on an assessment of $60,000 ; in 1880 and 1881 on tho snmo valuation tho rato was 25.30. In 1879 and 1878 on an assessment of t 25,000 tho rato of tax was $25.60 and $25.80 por thousand. It will bo scon that in tho past ton yourB Mrs. HamcrBlo.v'H monopoly of that corner lot. which is still vacant and yielding no incomo, has cost hor $11,201. which hoHgono towards tlio maintenance of the city govornmeut, besides tho greater loss of interest upon tho investment. Ono of tho curious things found on the books of the assessors is that while vacant lots located togothor aro aiicnsnd at tho paino valuo, occasionally in thn column sot apart for tho notation of buildings on tho lots is written "shanty," and in tho extension of tho figures it is found that an additional $100 is added to the valuation for tho shanty. Those shanties aro tho eroctious of tho " squatter sovereigns " who are suffered to make their homes on tho unused land. Thoy pay no rent and make the property unsightly, but tho owner of it is taxed an additional $2.16 for the shanty crooted by tho inter- lopers. James Lenox, whoso princely gift to the city of tho magnificent library bearing his name has made him honored by every citi-zo- owns many lots in tho neighborhood of tho splendid building. Of courso the ereo-tio- n of the building tliero added to the valuo of the landB nearby, and the generous giver himself is thus made a victim by his own open heartrdness. The Library oovors five lotH on Fifth avnnuo which, according to the assesHiuent of other adjoining lots, aggregate in uilue $406,000. Mr. Lenox is assossed on $47,600 for tho northeast corner of Seventy-l- i rat stroet. $36,000 each for threo lots above, and $21,000 each for flfty-tw- o lots on Seven, tloth and Scventy-firs- t streets, between Fifth and Madison avenues. Ho pays to the city this year as his tax on theso lots $26,(135.20. llobert Bonner, on a lot at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty.fifth street, is assessed for $55,000 valuation and pays $1,188 tox on thn uon.prodtioiug land. In tho past teu yoara this corner lot has yloldod un $12,380 to tho During tho past ten years A. 8. Hamcrsloy, who has the monopoly of the northeast corner lot at Fifth nvouue and Sixtioth btreot and threo lots adjoining on the avenue, making a total frontage of about one hundred feet, lias boon assessed at from $41,000 to $100,000 on them and has paid in taxes a trifle more than $18,000 about $3,600 for each lot. To put it in another uuy, Mr. Hamersley has paid at the rato of $18 u year for each front foot of his Fifth avenue lots for tho past decade. The assessment is at one-ba- lf the market valuo oi the land. If Mr. George's solo tax on land woro ordained by law, who but a man of wealth could hold it ? Mr. (reorgo would take away tho tax on buildings, but iixpeuses of government would go on just the and tho money wherewith to defray them must bo raised from the bare land. Therefore tho liulf.million dollar house on tho opposite cornor would not be taxed and its owner would pay no more on his bare lot than Mr. Monitor or Mr. Hamcrsloy on Iub. If the government conliscated the land for failure to pay tho tax, who but a rich wan could pay tho leuho of the land ? How much benefit would tho poor man derive from the change ? It will bo keen that if one-thir- d of the citv consists of vacant lots, thev wonld be taxed one-thir- d of the $34,370,690.78 raised ou the whole city this year. Fanelee for Women.

' - j FOR YOUNG WOMEN AT THEATRES. Tbls gushing appeal (or Information arrived the other day "per klndnwa" of a tiro-ce- nt stamp, and may be of sufficient tntereat to answer through these oolumns. DsarHih: Do, like a dear, sood'man. glvs me tome "polnia" for young woman at the theatre. I bo bo often, and always and that something happens to ruffle my aerenltr. I'l night, a gentleman rushing nut between the acts trod on my pet corn, and apolled my amuaement.

Whr should aucu nnltancea ex- ist ? Don't furget to anawer this. Lcorxtja. Yon might aoipect that I was an advertising gent, Lucretla, If I suggested any particular remedy for your pet corn, so I will not do It. I would, therefore, simply recommend yoo to wear looto boots until it Is better. How don't be fretful and abinrd. Too know that nobody can iee your feet, so what does It matter If jour boots aje a trifle too roomy ? It Is easy to judge from the tone of your letter that yon think a gentleman has no tight to leave the theatre between the acta. How nnreaaonablel now like a woman! Lucretla, yoo do not, cannot know what an absolute neces- sity there ta for the male theater-goe- r to break loots In theae Interval. lie goea out for the sake of his mind. Men cannot bear the terrible atraln of a play for three conaecntlve hours. They are not constituted like women. An undiluted evening of comedy, trasedy, or farce Is too much for them. The exoltement Is too Intense. Luoretla, do not annoy the bread-winne- rs by let-ti- them see that they hurt your corns, even If they do so. Be patient and womanly. While I would not go so far as to ask you to offer your right foot wher&our left has been trodden upon, I wonld aay bear your Injury with resignation, and In the future keep your feet well beneath your aeat. Aafor "spooning Vat the theatre, frankly, Lu- cretla, I will tell yon that I like to see It. That la all you have come to look at upon the stage, any-ws- y. lan't It Infinitely preferable, lnveated with the undeniable garb of roallty, to the mimlo stage attempts t I think so. Do not chill tkea'e young lovers by frowning at them. Let them apoon, dear. Vour time mar come one of these days, and you'll remember my words. People will talk during the play, Lucretla. I aupposo the reason la that they've come to the the- atre to enjoy themselves. Yon wouldn't mind tt a bit If yon were Included In the conversation. I like to listen to the talkers. Their criticisms are good because they come from the heart, and they generally aay aomethlng amusing. You make a great many complaints, Lucretla, bnt I would willingly bet that you go to the theatre wearing a big hat. What oan be worao than a big hat r Don't, for goodnoas sake, attempt to stop mon In their exits from the theatre nntll you women go hatlosa. An hour's contemplation of your ribbons and leathera and buokles Is of Itself a reason why relief should be sought. Ann Dal. WORLDLINGS.

Siddalls was lSw??s5roJ5- - and a half Interest in tho concern, which, it is said, has prospered considerably, although tho tour, after leaving New York last spring, is not thought to have been brilliantly profitable. At any rate, Sid. dalls has withdrawn from tho enterprise and turned his interest ovor to Perley, who last year was manager for H. Clay Miner at his Newark theatre, and before that was con. nected with Philadelphia theatricals of a clr. ous description Ho assumes tho business management, which, of courso, moans tha resignation of E. E. Eiddor, who has already announced tho severance of his connec tion with tho house Mr. Kidder has dono somo brilliant work for Dockstader this season, not only in the business managoment, but in placing original and funny acts upon tho Btage. Lew Dockstader is a nico, gontlomanly little fellow, noted for his fickleness as regards business managers. Last year young Com. stock, who had done a great deal to push Dookstnder to tho front, was forced to rethrn becaubo Dockstader wantod to do a little of tho business management himself, and found Comstock too omnipresccnt. Now comes Perley, who will begin to reign after Not. 23. Ho has the reputation of being a quick, oner, getio business man, thoroughly at home in tho branches of advertising. It is thought that ho will keep Mr. Low very Btrictly to his of performer and stage director, Bosltion new arrangements will be watched withgreat interest by the theatrical profession. Thoy always find time to do ft great deal of watching. After next season Miss Lotta will retlrs from the stage forever, at least so says that lady's mother, and what Mrs. Crabtreo doesn't know isn't worth remembering. Lotta has now n considerable fortune, ao. Suired not only by hor own oflbrtB, but by business management and ths shrewd methods of her mamma. It is sold that Miss Lotta will establish in this city a home for poor children, in whioh she intend investing a half million of dollars. She will berself take ontiro charge of the business affairs of tho institution. Mme. Helena Modjoska, that sterling act. rcss, also intends retiring from the Rtago after tho Benson, lt least for a time. It is quit) Sossiblo, however, that sho may do somo) work in Russia next year, where ghs intends to remain for a twelvemonth or so. , Tho coming summer sho will pass on her rancbe in Lower California, playing in San Francisco lato in tho season, and aftor ths summor going direct to Russia. She will bs accompaniod by Count Bozonta, her hut. band. Young Modjoska, the son of the not. rcBs. who married Bomo time ago, is now m " fond parient," aud has settled in Omaha, whero ho pursues the calling of a civil engu neer. Thus will two stars retiro from the great dramatic Hold victors, not vanquished. It is thought that ns Mrs. Langtry plays in cheap theatres this season, next season she' will confine her6olf to YorltV triumphs, and possibly to Australia. ' Thero is no one to fill tho places vacated) by those Btars, unless it bo young Miss Mar.f lowo, and, however excellent she may bo, she1 will find it hard to cover such aching voids as thoso created by tho loss of the actresses mentioned. Miss Marlowe has, however, been accustomed to hard work. When ft mere ohild sho sang in a " Pinafore " com. pany, and after that travelled through small Ohio towns, roughing it like most dramatlo travellers.

ME. COMBTOOTB "DUTY."
We are quite willing to concede that Ah-rao- irr
Ooustoox is "not afraid to do whathe considers to be his duty."
The difficulty arises from his conceptionof his duty. There is a feeling prevalent inthe oommnnlty that Mr. Oomstogx's firstduty is to get false and prurient Ideas out ofhis own head or to cease imputing such ideasto those whose imaginations ore healthfuland whose tastes are fine.
It is not Mr. Ookstocx's duty to emascu.late Art nor to oloak Beauty.

It is the women upon whom the ourse ofdrunkenness rests most heavily, and whenwomen unite to protoct their homes from itsblight their provocation and their aimshould secure for them at least the respect ofsilenoo from those who do not believe intheir remedies for an evil that none can dony.

r!rtHC-- s' V "teas, were renay iK 2? Rtmp those theoriesI'l-- T LJESjjj, tholr indorse-
ment. Mr. Oeorge has boon accusod of a dis-
tortion, or, at loast, a misapprehension of factsin his efforts to show thot there was a grind,ing monopoly in land, and that the poor werebeing deprived of the land whioh thoy werojoint owners of with the possessors or nom-in-
owners, no has said that ono-thir- d ofManhattan Island was covored with vacantlots, held by tho lucky children of riohparontnge for a riso in valuation, without itsbeing of tho slightest valuo to any ono, andthat by reason of tho gathering hore of hun-
dreds of thousands of pooplo, the valuo ofthoso lots was doubling and quadrupling voryfast, to tho nolo benefit of tho pooplo whosoparents claimed titlo to thom, while a ma-jority of tho city population was hived up incrowded and unhealthy tenements.
A Woiild reporter who has boen Inves-tigating tho matter has fnilod to find anydata wheroby ho could learn tho proportionof tho ncreaco of this island now vacant andheld as " city lots." There is a vast traot ofvacant land, however, on each side of Cen-tr-
I'ork. In Fifth avenue thoro aro a hostof vacant lots botwoen Fitty-fi- f th stroot andUarlom Itivor.
Mr. Goorgo has repeated over and overagain that tho holders of these vacant lotHshould bo compelled cither to build uponthem or to pivo thorn up to bo distributedosaln. Ho has insisted that they should botaxed so high that it would not bo profltabluto retain thom unoccupied. Hero aro somofacts:
Mary O. Pincknoy is one of the sort ofholders by inheritance against whom theGeorgo theorists inveigh. Sho is down intho assessment rolls for 138 lots In the TwelfthWard. Those lots aro in Fifth and Bixthavenues, and Ono Hundred and Tenth, OneHundred and Eleventh and Ono Hundredand Twolfth streets, between those ovonues.They aro assessed at $466,000, which is on abasis of one-ha- lf of their market valuo. Thorato of toxos Is 92.10 for every $1,000, or810,065.60 to tho city for the 188 lots. That isa Qno of $78 each for holding theso lots dur-ing 1887. No rovenuo it derivod from them.
Cornor lots in Fifth uvonuo cost a prettyas investments. I?or instance, thero isSonny cornor of Fifty-fift- h street,
which is assessed at $55,000. Its owner, Mrs.Ilamereloy, will pay 11,188 into the cofforsof tho city for tho fun of its possession thisyear. This rato is considerably lower thanover before. In 1888 tho tax rato was $23.90per thousand : in 1H8S it was $'24: in 1881 it
' wiih !B!i2.M) and in 1883 it was S22.90 por thou-sand. Tho assessment on tliis lot has boenthn samn in these yoars. Thus in 1BHR Mrs.Ilatuersloy'u corner lot cost hor $1,259.60: inlBSSltcoHt $1,320; in 1881 it cost $1,237.60and in ISM it cost $1,259.60. Tho lot is 24 footfront on Fifth avonuo and runs back 100 feoton Fifty-fift- h btroot. In 1882 tho ratewaB$22.50 on an assessment of $60,000 ; in 1880and 1881 on tho snmo valuation tho rato was
25.30. In 1879 and 1878 on an assessment oft 25,000 tho rato of tax was $25.60 and $25.80por thousand. It will bo scon that in thopast ton yourB Mrs. HamcrBlo.v'H monopoly ofthat corner lot. which is still vacant andyielding no incomo, has cost hor $11,201.which hoHgono towards tlio maintenance ofthe city govornmeut, besides tho greater lossof interest upon tho investment.
Ono of tho curious things found on thebooks of the assessors is that while vacantlots located togothor aro aiicnsnd at tho painovaluo, occasionally in thn column sot apartfor tho notation of buildings on tho lots iswritten "shanty," and in tho extension oftho figures it is found that an additional $100is added to the valuation for tho shanty.Those shanties aro tho eroctious of tho" squatter sovereigns " who are suffered tomake their homes on tho unused land. Thoypay no rent and make the property unsightly,but tho owner of it is taxed an additional$2.16 for the shanty crooted by tho inter-lopers.
James Lenox, whoso princely gift to thecity of tho magnificent library bearing hisname has made him honored by every citi-zo-
owns many lots in tho neighborhood oftho splendid building. Of courso the ereo-tio- n
of the building tliero added to the valuoof the landB nearby, and the generous giverhimself is thus made a victim by his ownopen heartrdness. The Library oovors fivelotH on Fifth avnnuo which, according to theassesHiuent of other adjoining lots, aggregatein uilue $406,000. Mr. Lenox is assossed on$47,600 for tho northeast corner of Seventy-l- i
rat stroet. $36,000 each for threo lots above,and $21,000 each for flfty-tw- o lots on Seven,tloth and Scventy-firs- t streets, between Fifthand Madison avenues. Ho pays to the citythis year as his tax on theso lots $26,(135.20.
llobert Bonner, on a lot at the corner ofFifth avenue and Fifty.fifth street, is assessedfor $55,000 valuation and pays $1,188 tox onthn uon.prodtioiug land. In tho past teuyoara this corner lot has yloldod un $12,380 totho
During tho past ten years A. 8. Hamcrsloy,who has the monopoly of the northeast cornerlot at Fifth nvouue and Sixtioth btreot andthreo lots adjoining on the avenue, making atotal frontage of about one hundred feet, liasboon assessed at from $41,000 to $100,000 onthem and has paid in taxes a trifle more than$18,000 about $3,600 for each lot. To put itin another uuy, Mr. Hamersley has paid atthe rato of $18 u year for each front foot ofhis Fifth avenue lots for tho past decade.
The assessment is at one-ba- lf the marketvaluo oi the land. If Mr. George's solo taxon land woro ordained by law, who but aman of wealth could hold it ? Mr. (reorgowould take away tho tax on buildings, butiixpeuses of government would go on just the
and tho money wherewith to defraythem must bo raised from the bare land.Therefore tho liulf.million dollar house ontho opposite cornor would not be taxed andits owner would pay no more on his bare lotthan Mr. Monitor or Mr. Hamcrsloy on Iub.
If the government conliscated the land forfailure to pay tho tax, who but a rich wancould pay tho leuho of the land ? How muchbenefit would tho poor man derive from thechange ? It will bo keen that if one-thir- d ofthe citv consists of vacant lots, thev wonldbe taxed one-thir- d of the $34,370,690.78 raisedou the whole city this year.

' -jFOR YOUNG WOMEN AT THEATRES.
Tbls gushing appeal (or Information arrived theother day "per klndnwa" of a tiro-ce- nt stamp,and may be of sufficient tntereat to answer throughthese oolumns.
DsarHih: Do, like a dear, sood'man. glvs metome "polnia" for young woman at the theatre. Ibo bo often, and always and that something happensto ruffle my aerenltr. I'l night, a gentlemanrushing nut between the acts trod on my pet corn,and apolled my amuaement. The week before tnat1 eat by the side of a horribly affectionate couple,who "epooned" all the time. Aa for people whotalk during the play. It la always my HI lack to becat bralde them. Whr should aucu nnltancea ex-ist ? Don't furget to anawer this. Lcorxtja.
Yon might aoipect that I was an advertisinggent, Lucretla, If I suggested any particular
remedy for your pet corn, so I will not do It. Iwould, therefore, simply recommend yoo to wearlooto boots until it Is better.
How don't be fretful and abinrd. Too knowthat nobody can iee your feet, so what does Itmatter If jour boots aje a trifle too roomy ? It Iseasy to judge from the tone of your letter that yonthink a gentleman has no tight to leave the theatrebetween the acta.
How nnreaaonablel now like a woman! Lucretla,yoo do not, cannot know what an absolute neces-sity there ta for the male theater-goe- r to breakloots In theae Interval. lie goea out for the sakeof his mind. Men cannot bear the terrible atralnof a play for three conaecntlve hours. They arenot constituted like women. An undiluted eveningof comedy, trasedy, or farce Is too much for them.The exoltement Is too Intense.
Luoretla, do not annoy the bread-winne- rs by let-ti-
them see that they hurt your corns, even Ifthey do so. Be patient and womanly. While Iwould not go so far as to ask you to offer yourright foot wher&our left has been trodden upon, Iwonld aay bear your Injury with resignation, andIn the future keep your feet well beneath youraeat.
Aafor "spooning Vat the theatre, frankly, Lu-
cretla, I will tell yon that I like to see It. That laall you have come to look at upon the stage, any-ws- y.
lan't It Infinitely preferable, lnveated withthe undeniable garb of roallty, to the mimlo stageattempts t I think so. Do not chill tkea'e younglovers by frowning at them. Let them apoon, dear.Vour time mar come one of these days, and you'llremember my words.
People will talk during the play, Lucretla. Iaupposo the reason la that they've come to the the-atre to enjoy themselves. Yon wouldn't mind tt abit If yon were Included In the conversation. Ilike to listen to the talkers. Their criticisms aregood because they come from the heart, and theygenerally aay aomethlng amusing.
You make a great many complaints, Lucretla,bnt I would willingly bet that you go to the theatrewearing a big hat. What oan be worao than a bighat r Don't, for goodnoas sake, attempt to stopmon In their exits from the theatre nntll youwomen go hatlosa. An hour's contemplation ofyour ribbons and leathera and buokles Is of Itself areason why relief should be sought.

lSw??s5roJ5- - and a half Interest intho concern, which, it is said, has prosperedconsiderably, although tho tour, after leavingNew York last spring, is not thought to havebeen brilliantly profitable. At any rate, Sid.dalls has withdrawn from tho enterprise andturned his interest ovor to Perley, who lastyear was manager for H. Clay Miner at hisNewark theatre, and before that was con.nected with Philadelphia theatricals of a clr.ous description Ho assumes tho businessmanagement, which, of courso, moans tharesignation of E. E. Eiddor, who has alreadyannounced tho severance of his connection with tho house Mr. Kidderhas dono somo brilliant work forDockstader this season, not only inthe business managoment, but in placingoriginal and funny acts upon tho Btage.Lew Dockstader is a nico, gontlomanly littlefellow, noted for his fickleness as regardsbusiness managers. Last year young Com.stock, who had done a great deal to pushDookstnder to tho front, was forced to rethrnbecaubo Dockstader wantod to do a little oftho business management himself, and foundComstock too omnipresccnt. Now comesPerley, who will begin to reign after Not. 23.Ho has the reputation of being a quick, oner,getio business man, thoroughly at home intho branches of advertising. It is thoughtthat ho will keep Mr. Low very Btrictly to his
of performer and stage director,Bosltion new arrangements will bewatched withgreat interest by the theatricalprofession. Thoy always find time to do ftgreat deal of watching.
After next season Miss Lotta will retlrsfrom the stage forever, at least so says thatlady's mother, and what Mrs. Crabtreodoesn't know isn't worth remembering.Lotta has now n considerable fortune, ao.Suired not only by hor own oflbrtB, but by
business management and thsshrewd methods of her mamma. It is soldthat Miss Lotta will establish in this city ahome for poor children, in whioh she intendinvesting a half million of dollars. She willberself take ontiro charge of the businessaffairs of tho institution.
Mme. Helena Modjoska, that sterling act.rcss, also intends retiring from the Rtago aftertho Benson, lt least for a time. It is quit)Sossiblo, however, that sho may do somo)
work in Russia next year, where ghsintends to remain for a twelvemonth or so. ,
Tho coming summer sho will pass on herrancbe in Lower California, playing in SanFrancisco lato in tho season, and aftor thssummor going direct to Russia. She will bsaccompaniod by Count Bozonta, her hut.band. Young Modjoska, the son of the not.rcBs. who married Bomo time ago, is now m" fond parient," aud has settled in Omaha,whero ho pursues the calling of a civil enguneer.
Thus will two stars retiro from the greatdramatic Hold victors, not vanquished. Itis thought that ns Mrs. Langtry plays incheap theatres this season, next season she'will confine her6olf to YorltVtriumphs, and possibly to Australia.

Thero is no one to fill tho places vacated)by those Btars, unless it bo young Miss Mar.flowo, and, however excellent she may bo, she1will find it hard to cover such aching voids asthoso created by tho loss of the actressesmentioned. Miss Marlowe has, however,been accustomed to hard work. When ftmere ohild sho sang in a " Pinafore " com.pany, and after that travelled through smallOhio towns, roughing it like most dramatlotravellers. Talking of Miss Marlowe, it maybe said that tho company to support her la--
