From Our Own OwrMpondant
Nmr Yobc, Dec. 8, 1889.
Tht KlrhnrHxnn.MrParUnd Trngmlr.
Since it is Impossible for me to give you any
new. on the subject of Mr. McFarland the tele
graph wires anticipating every effort In that di
rection I shall not attoraptlt. Sufficient to
ay that the publie interest has not in anywise
abated. The subject is still discussed with all
the pristine Vigor at tho breakfast-tables, and
the firm of Beccher and Frolhlughara continue
to be hauled over the coals in a highly edifying
manner. Some affect to think Mr. Bcechor's
conduct a mere advertisement trick, and rcdit
him with forever keeping an eye to business.
As for poor Mr. Frothlngham, the absence of
argument and rhetoric from his excuse is one
"of the most amusing instances of an educated
man's blunders.
The Storm'. Doing.
Every time we have a snow storm our boast
of being a model metropolis falls to the ground.
Behold the one we had on Monday evening!
The snow around the Astor Houho is not easily
described or imagined. It is the great depot for
several of the Avenue railroads. Tho cars of
Third and Fourth avenue, more particularly, are
crowded with hundreds of poor girls and arti
sans of every description, who would else have
to walk miles before reaching their homes.
Consequently, whenever a storm sets In like
that of Monday, the cars are besieged as soon as
6 o'clock strikes, every man and woman clamor
ing and strugging for a seat, jostling and elbow
ing those nearest them without the slightest re
spect for ago or sex, treating old age and help
less infancy alike, and only anxious to got one
foot on the platform of the car. Ah!
the study of human nature is a sad one at such
times as these. Scores of poor, sick-looking,
thinly clad girls, shivering in tattered shawls
and mantles, their garments searched and almost
shredded by the winds, stand in the great area
between the Astor House and Park Row, de
spairingly eyeing the cars as they come in, and
making a vain rush after standing-room. It is a
positive fact,' a sad, heartless truth, that strong
men, young and middle-aged, have at such
times no more respect for helpless womanhood
than if all that the Woman's Suffrage Associa
tion says about the brutality of the superior sex
were strictly true. I have seen old women
elbowed and pushed about, and made tho butt of
disgusting "chaff," while men young enough to
be their sons almost ousted them out of tho
little vantago-ground they had obtained. Until
we have an underground railroad, or until some
equally effectual means have been devised for
relieving the distresses which ensue with snow
storms among the poorerclass of people who live
up town, we cannot boast of being on a par
with Paris and London. Along many of the
avenues detained cars to the number of forty
in a row might be seen painfully trailing along,
and those who got seats or standing-room at
four o'clock in the afternoon reached home at
eight or nine o'clock. Storms like these have
their comic foaturos, but they liuye their tragic
aspects, too. It is all very well for warmly-clad
pedestrians filled with good victuals and drink
to go wassailing along Broadway, stopping at
every other tavern to the chorus of "Shoo fly
don't bodder me," but meanwhile hundreds of
working-girls are catching consumption and
death along the freezing open spaces opposite
the Astor.
Another Nevvapaprr fJone.
The Ilepublic is dead long live tho Republic!
Another evening newspuper has gone up long
flourish the evoning newspapers! The fact is
we hare too many already, and the liepuhlic,
being a little more conscientious than any other,
was too good to live, and has gone to the wall.
It did not understand how, or at least it would
not consent, to "make a corner;" and, although
it was very lively and readable, had to pay the
penalty which virtue always nas to pay in a
world like this. It would bo unpleasant to
count np the number of failures among evening
newspapers in this city. They do not flourish
here to the extent they do in Philadelphia, for
the reason that proprietors do not under
stand how to be at once decent and enterprising.
The "Baroness" de KWlcre
has been for some timo busy among certain
newspapers here, interesting them in the pro
gress of her suit, and making friends for herself.
The case has for the present been brought to a
close. It will be remembered that the "Baron"
was arrested on complaint of the "Baroness"
that he had appropriated to his own use abont
five thousand dollars of her property and that
he had married her and then deserted her. It
was demurred, however, that several causes of
action had been improperly united, and the
Court has rendered a judgment by default, sus
taining the demurrer.
"One Cblekea an Hour."
This is the rate at which chickens are hutched
at the poultry show at the Empire City Skating
Rink. The artificial incubators there aro about
as attractive as anything else almost as much
so as the Cardiff giant at Wood's.

MUSICAL AIHI I)K AMATIC.
"Patrice" att the Che.niit.
The Irish drama is limited to the treatment of
two subjects the glorification of the ''liuest
pisentrv In tbe world" and the grievances of the
"fine ould Irish gintleman" who mortgages bis
states to get the means to keep open house to
all comers, for the sake of supporting the credit
of his ancestors, and who considers his creditor
a villain of the blackest dye if he asks for his
money. These themes have been worked up
.again and again with very little variation, and
the consequence is that oue Irish drama resem
bles another as two peas in a pod. Even admit
ting a very hearty anti-British sentiment and a
warm sympathy fsr the real grievances
of Ireland, It in a little sin
gular that this style of plays should
be so extremely popular on the American stage.
Nothing could be more foreign to American
habits and American tastes than tho rookie.-
extravagance, the total disregard for obliga
tions tbat are considered binding in every
civilized community, nud tbe semi-savage clun-nit-hncss
of these decayed Irish gentlemen and
their followers. Tho condition of affair repre
sented In tho popular Irish stories and Irish
drama of our day, if tr.ie, ai they un
doubtedly seem to be. siililcicntly
accounts for the degradation of Ireland
and her inability to resist successfully British
oppression. This is not tbo place, however, for
the full discussion of such a subject, and we
refer to it merely for the purpose of indicating
the character of tho new play of Pal rice,
which was produced at the Chesnut last evening.
This play is a typical Irish drama, and presents
us with the standard characters aud inci
dents that have done duty on the stage for
mauya year. An Irish gentleman mortgages
h'.s cbialcs, aud when be is unable to redeem bis
pledges, bo prepares to resist by force tbe exe
cution l Uf law, which, however, is too strong
for him, and be is obliged to come to terms.
His creditor, .who is of course the villain of
tho piece, offers to rellnqtdsh his claim pro
vided "Patrice," the beautiful niece of the gen
tleman aforesaid, will marry him. The lady
consents, and after the mortgages are surren
dered, she falls into a trance and ii taken up
for dead. Her lover, an Irish patriot, who has
been obliged to lice the country for treasonable
practices, return s by stealth just'at this time: hears
that his lady love is dead; takes her body from
the tomb and conveys it to a hut in the moun
tains, for tho purpose of burying It where he can
mourn over it In solitude, and where the body-
snatchers cannot find it. "Patrice," to the as
tonishment of her lover and her attendants, re
vives, and the pair are married, and thereafter
live in srict seclusion in the mountains. The
lady nets as a guardian angel to her husband by
appearing as a ghost whenever any suspicious
persons approach their retreat, and on several
occasions she frightens off the policemen, sol
diers, nnd other minions of the law who are in
search of the outlaw. Finally, the baflled suitor
learns where his enemy is concealed, and starts
in pursuit. He Is precipitated from a broken
bridge in a narrow pats of the mountains, and
is rescued by the husband of "Patrice," who
thus conquers his enmity, and the piece winds
up with the hero and heroine sinking into each
other's arms, and tho peasantry shouting for joy
at their deliverance.
This play Is full of stirring Incidents, and it
affords apportunltles for some excellent Bccnic
effects that are managed with much skill. Its
great fault is that there is. too much irrelevant
matter in it, that divides the attention of the
audience, and materially detracts from tho in
terest of the piece. Ihc story is romantic and
the plot is well arranged for dramatic effect,
and the play, if subjected to a judicious cutting,
ought to be more popular than many of its class
that have been produced in this city of
late years. The performance last evening passed
off in good style, although there were some
irregularities that will doubtless disappear at the
subsequent representations, ratrice has been
placed upon the stage with great care, and some
of the scenic effects are very fine. Unless the
theatre-going public have had a surfeit of Irish
drama, this play certainly ought to draw, for,
notwithstanding its defects, it has all the elements
of popularity that have wou success in times past
for similar performances of no greater artistic
or literary merit.
