THE DAILY EVENING TELKGttAPti PfltLAf)ELPIIIAt WEDNESDAY, MtMmM 10, Ufa' NEW JTORKISMS. From Our Own Correspondent. Nw York, Dec. 16, 1888. James W. Jennctte Is tbe nnme of a man who 8 ratber young to be no much married at once. From tbe affidavits of various ladles, it appoara that be la the 1ATKST TRIOAMIST that baa appealed btfjre a New York police magistrate. Tnl. Jcnnette, who la only forty year-gold, waa in the habit of finding a Jeannot (a ) to apeak) wherever he went and lie went about everywhere. Be traded principally between tbls port and the Bermudas, and no less than three wives have already appeared against him. The Jefferson Market Police Court has been full of onlookers, composed principally of hid wives and children. First, or rathor seoond, he picked up Ellzi Ann Baker: for he bad been already married nearly twenty years lo Deborah Bparks. Thirdly, be led In the altar Lucy Hmlth, all three of whom assembled yesterday to petition for Justice. Tne trleamlst remained stelld, and looked tMgs calmly In tbe face. He did not look bis wires In the face, though, but sat with his back to them all tarouga the examination. What a pity these things cannot be settled at fiolloe courts as they are at the opera, every woman hopping oil with a different man, ami the dispoHluon of the characters at the fall of tbe curtain l mean ine clone or ine irui udu lng Ibe bloodless "Bluebeard" quite content With the forgiveness of 'Biulotte.'' I am Afraid Jennette will be treated rather differently, for lie was held to answer In default Of 810,000 ball. COMMODORE BIEADE'S NEW SON-IN-LAW lias be en. publloblDg a somewhat entbusiuiUc card, In which be declares Unit be is married and means to slay married; that ho had no band whatever In the Commodore's confine ment; that be even aid not know of Its taking place until the morning of his marriage; that for a long time past the Commodore had been tbreatenlng several persons' lives, and tbat be carried loaded revolvers about him; and tbat bis aberration of mind was Induced by the injustice with which the United W tales Govern ment bad treated blm, Mr. Landls uses warm and spirited, though - perfectly creditable language, and puts a new side to the mooted question of the Commodore's alleged insanty. A SEQUEL TO THE "MOONSTONE" baa Just transpired at the bouse of a Mr. Tor lance, in West Thirty-eighth street. Tbat residence was seized with an attack of burglary, from which it has not yet recovered. The symptons showed themselves in tbe mysterious disappearance of (U000 worth of diamonds, which were kept in a bureau at the bead ol tbe bed in which Mr. Torrance slept. Now the question naturally arises (at least In the minds of Wilkle Collins' admirers), did Mr. Torrance unoonsolously swallow a dose of opium on the evening when the so-called bur glary was committed 1 If so, did he steal bis own diamonds, and what bas b come of them ? Superintendent Kennedy bas cablegraphed to "Wilkle Collins to learn the real name or the Loudon detective irom whom Sergeant Cuff was modelled, and to have terms oliered blm to work np the case here. The answer bas not set been received, MR. BBlttiH, that angular limbed, cudaverons-eyed sympa thizer with dumb beasts, employs an amanu ensis whose sole duty it is to write lo the newspapers. ... At feast such Is tbe popular belief. And when bo speedy a remedy exists for every evil under tbe sun, tue President of the Society for tbe Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals is surely not to be greatly blamed for using it. . But in truth Mr. Bergh is somewhat badly treated by one or two of the newspapers here the Herald, for example. One of its reporters states that Mr. Bergh requested him to make public his (Mr. Bergh'B) exertions In a recent case known as the "Cas tello Pony Whipping Case." Mr. Bergh. in a damned and gentlemanly card, indignantly denies having ever made such a request, which be appropriately styles a "vulgar application, for personal notoriety." Mr. Berub is an angel amongst a host of Ba laams. The modern Jehus fear him. During His dal'y walks abroad there Is a universal neigh of gladness around him; and when he sleeps at night, no nightmare ever haunts him, BEV. WILLIAM ALVIN UARTLETT has felt called npon to leave Kim Place Church, Brooklyn, for Plymouth Cnuroh.Chloago. In his (Sunday's farewell sermon be bade bis people not to weep for htm. ' As for himself, lie said, be had had bis nights Of weeping. I do not understand the quality of Mr. Bart lett's weeping, bull taluk lew preachers weep, except for Joy, when they are called away from a pas' orate which is only good lo one whloh is only belter. This pulpit gossip reminds me of JKFK'ERSON'8 "RIP VAS WINKLE," Whloh is a New YorElsm tbat has taken im mensely In Chicago, s j lmmeusely, indeed, that the Kv. It. B. Collier, of that otty, la credited with having said of htm and it mat "no suimon written in the world, except that of Ohrlat, When lie stood with tbe adulterous womau, ever illustrated the power of love to conquer evil, and to win the wanderer, as that beautiful little piece, so perfectly rendered by this genius which Uod has given us to illustrate in lue drama the power of love over the sins of the rae." Is this true? Is it a canard f or is it mere bombast on the pai l of Iho Heverend Collier ? For my part I nave always thought tbe mnra or Mr. Boucloault's dramutlsitlon of Hip Van Winkle decidedly bad, and that tbe perteoilou of Mr. Jefferson's acting made It no beiier. lis morality is soaroely beiier than that of "Too dies," for drunkenness furnishes the points where the laughs come in, and at the fall of the curtain tbe last words of lue hero are drowned In bis libations. A 1UVAL TO THE WINTER PALACE bas been started on Broadway opposite the Metropolitan. Llkeihe Winter Palace, everything Is priced fl, and sold by female clei ks. The aiivertlsetneu s banhtuliy describe It as a celestial palace, a superb baziar, a palaoe or beauty, a maglo arcade, a haveu or dellghl.aud a sphere f joy, aud neatly add that "100 youug laoy oleiks, endued with thai ri-ttnement aud modesty becoming Ihetr sex, have heeu selected to wait upon tbe cuutoiufrw," and are "habili tated In the garb of modesty and neatness." 'Another Christmas enterprise, got up especially for tbe holidays, is tbe CKM'HAL PAUK OAIIDEN BAZAAR, for tbe rule of CnrlmuaHS pi eso'it. AdinlHfclnn may be ootulned at 25 cents acy time af.-rfl P.M. It opened lust night for the first time, with Thomat.' orchestra, the 8Micntfer Tyrolean Singer Society, the Ialevttnle Brothers, an auto roano iluatre, "Punch aud Judy" and "Cap tain Jinks," Otis. William", two comical giants, Herr JauHon, baritone, and Madame Delorme, soprano. The euterpriHe will certainly prove a success, for it cheaply furnishes inducements to bring enjoyable parties together at the moot enjoyable season of tbe year. OLIVE LOO AN, a shining example of now successful mediocre talent, wllii Industry and puhhabeadall veuess, can become, delivered ber lecture on "Paris," last night, to a fair audience, at Steinway Hall. New Yorkers do not forget that Lester Wal lack is not growing youuger with advancing years, but on Lis reappearance on Mouday night greeted blm as warmly as of yore. Yet some ttmMi Lha Hiuue there seems full of ehosts. and there Is something mournful In the warmth With which old favorites are reoeivea. ALI BABA. MUSICAL AND DK ASIATIC. doubtless attract large audiences The great vMFiujiHi, was never greater in bis command over bis instrument than be Is at preeoot.

We believe tbat a few choice seata remain nnsold. The pkrkormancr or Mendelssohn's "lt formatlnn Symphony" and Sohnberl's "Unfin ished Hyrnphonv," on Saturday evening, at Muslcnl Fund Hall, will doubtless bo in tbe hlchesl degree gratifying to our music-loving citizens. A largely augmented orchestra will give the works in the beat style. AT the Amrbican an attractive variety en tertainment will be given this evening. At the TnBATRE Comique the Gregory Family will bo superseded artor the preannt. week hy the Pyne and tin Hon Kugllsh Oonaio Opera Troupe, who will produce the works ol Offenbach and other popular composers.
