PITTSBURG, THURSDAY. OCT. 3, 1880.
opening of the congress.
The opening of the Fan-American Con
gress yesterday was principally marked by
the formal entertainments and expressions
of amity that are necessary features of the
assembling of such a body. No approach
to actual business will be made until
the tour of the United States by the
delegates is finished, which is a permissible
variation of the old adage concerning the
respective order of business and pleasure.
Nevertheless, Secretary Blaine's opening
address struck the keynote and set forth the
ideas on which the Congress is founded.
The principles which should draw the
American Governments into alliance are
those of union for their mutual benefit; the
avoidance of mutual jealousies and aggres
sions which have proved the bane of Europe;
the consequent escape from the necessity
of standing armies and expensive naval
armaments, and the advancement of the
commercial prosperity of the Hew "World.
Alliance for mutual detense may or may
not be involved in these principles, al
though its statement is not made or ex
pected; offensive alliance is distinctly ex
cluded by the pacific nature of the purposes.
But what is implied beyond question, and
placed openly in view as the aim of the
Congress, is the cultivation of closer com
mercial relations to the advantage and en
richment of all the countries participating
in the treaties which it is expected the Con
gress will evoke.
On this basis the Pan-American Congress
bids fair to introduce a new era in the com
mercial ana political relations of the Ameri
can continents.
FRENCH JUSTICE.
They are not disposed to indulge in any
false sentiments in Paris about punishing
cornerers and the engineers of commercial
combinations when they have come to
grief. "We do not Know that the French
law is any more Spartan than our own about
punishing the manipulations which are
successful. While the copper combination
was apparently on the hich road to vast
wealth Secretin and his associates were un
molested; but now that they have made a
smash the tribunal of commerce is dealing
out salty penalties. Fines are assessed on
the managers and directors of the Comptoir
d' escompt aggregating 19,000,00 francs, or
$3,SOO,000. This will certainlv deter the
people who have to pay the fines from go
ing into any more gambles for some time,
by reason of the lack of funds. But a
more effective remedy would be to fine the
speculators who make a success of their
corners, and thus take away the tempta
tion which their unmolested wealth offers
to others.
CO-EDUCATION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The adoption by the faculty of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania of a resolution opening
theprivileges of that institution to both sexes
alike, is an indication of progress. It is
only a few years since a step ot this sort was
defeated in the same institution. Without
any especial agitation the progress of
modern ideas has been so steady, that the ac
tion is reversed, and the University is placed
in the list of institutions that offers its facil
ities without regard to sex.
It is rather amusing to find some of our
Philadelphia cotemporaries, who seem un
able to take their educational ideas much
beyond the limits of the early part of the
century, speaking of the change as one the
character and results of which can only be
determined by experience. The fact is that
co-education has long ago passed the experi
mental stage. Haifa dozen collegiate insti
tutions have proved its practicability and
usefulness, some of them by the practice of
over 50 years. Such colleges as Oberlin and
Ann Arbor are sufficient answer to all
doubts about the novel experiment of co-education.
It is also rather amusing to learn that the
approval of the students now at the univer
sity is a matter of doubt. If that institution
finds it necessary to take iuto consideration
the veto power of the students on any ques
tion of management, it will be a decided im
provement to bring in a new class of scholars,
who may have a less exalted estimate of the
Talne of their verdict.
A QUESTIONABLE MEASURE.
The step which has been taken by one of
the local railroads in relnsing cars to be
loaded with slack or nut coal, was probably
without due reflection, and with good in
tentions. Nevertheless, the assertion of a
right on the part of a railroad to decide
what grades of coal a shipper shall forward
is one that will not bear examination. The
action was undoubtedly intended as a
measure of relief for the scarcity of cars;
but while a railroad is obliged to use every
effort to distribute its cars impartially, the
enactment now of a temporary rule that
the buyers of nut and slack shall go unsup
plied, is one that overlooks the primary ob
ligation of impartiality. No doubt this
will be rectified, as everyone hopes that the
car famine will be, as soon as possible.
MAN AND HONEY.
Among the disadvantages of possessing
money is the possibility it entails of losing
money. It is easier, so rich men invariably
say, to make money than to keep it Some
what in support of this is the case of a
grandson of one of the Old Guard of Bona
parte, who recently lost a role of bank notes
amounting to $100,000 on a railway train.
He was not betting on the train either, and
did not lose it, as many a man ha, by put
ting his pile upon a horse. He merely lost
iton the cars. If he had not had a hundred
thousand dollars he could not have lost it.
It just shows that a man has so business to
carry around hundreds of thousand dollar
bills in his pockets. Fifty or sixty thou
sand dollars is quite enough to stuff in
to a wallet or pocket for spending
money. It is said that Jay Gould has been
stumped for a nickel to pay his car fare
often. But we cannot all of us go out pen
niless and naked, as it were, with a Gould's
assurance that we will acquire clothing and
a competency at some one else's expense be
fore the day is over. The average man re
quires at least a quarter and a suit of clothes
to start on.
But though only the man who has a cool
hundred thousand can lose it a huge majority
prefer to take the hundred thousand and the
chance of its loss. The conrage and confi
dence of men in this direction are stupendous.
N o man is so cowardly but he will assume the
responsibility of riches without a tremor; no
man is so modest but he will prefer himself
to all the world as the guardian of gold.
The young man who lost a fortune on the
cars last week would not hesitate in the
least to take charge of another if he had -the
chance. The great trouble is that few of ns
have the chance at all, and still fewer a
second visit from the Goddess Fortana.
THE TEEBnORIAL ELECTIONS.
The returns from the elections in the Ter
ritories which are soon to be advanced to
Statehood, have a mixed complexion, from
which partisans on either side can draw en
couragement, or the reverse, according to
their"tastes. The fact is that the outcome
is just about what was to be expected from
the previous political complexion of the
Territories, and fails to show any material
change either from the influence of the Re
publican administration or the approach of
their admission to the Union.
Washington and the two Dakotas go
strongly Republican. If they had done
anything else it would have been a black
eye for the Republicans, as they are settled
by Republican elements. Montana is close,
with the chauces rather in favor of the
Democrats. So far as can be seen, the new
States will give a net Republican gain of
two Representatives and four Senators in
Congress. Prohibition was probably car
ried in North and South Dakota. The
elections are principally significant as pre
paring for the .admission of Territories,
which for the first time will stretch an un
broken line of States from the east to the
Pacific coast.
MARRIAGE IN YORK COUNTY.
That courtly chevalier with a clumsy title,
ex-Lieutenant Governor Chauncey Black,
has been ascribing an extraordinary charac
ter to the Democracy of York county. In a
political speech last week, he said that
he came from a county where no good Dem
crat would permit his daughter to marry a
Republican. We do not suppose for a mo
ment that Mr. Black would intentionally
utter an untruth; we prefer to believe that
Mr. Black's enthusiasm led him to paint
the unswerving fidelity of York's Democra
cy to its party's principles in colors a little
too harsh and high for truth.
For the sake of argument, however, let
us take this tremendous assertion for solid
truth. What does it lead us to infer?
Firstly, that the daughters of Democratic
fathers are denied the privileges of free
choice in matter thai is to them almost as
important as life itself. Their sisters else
where, in this county for example, would
not brook such abridgement of their rights.
If the spirit of Democracy impels any great
number of its adherents to such practices
one of the reasons for the overwhelming
Republican vote in this State is
plainly discovered. Mr. Black would
seem to prize the blessings of Democratic
faith so highly that helwould begrudge them
to any but the chosen already within the
pale. He does not believe in the evangel
ical powers of woman evidently, or he would
not discourage the marriage of Democratic
maidens to Republican men. . For the first
time in his life Mr. Black has assumed an
ungallant attitude toward the fair sex. He
undervalues the influence of the wife upon
her husband and of the mother upon her
children, and wants us to believe that all
the Democratic fathers in York county un
dervalue it also.
But whether true or merely an oratorical
hyperbole, Mr. Black's text does not call
for hysterics or red-hot shot from the Re
publicans. Republican youths will con
tinue to marry Democratic maidens when
ever they prefer them to Republican maid
ens, with or without parental assent, in
York county and every other county. Love
and politics proceed by separate highways.
Success in one often leads to success in the
other. But Cupid, at all events, brooks no
dictation from partisan politicians. He
shoots his arrows without the least regard
for Jeffersonian or other political princi
ples. SCATTERING LABOR STATISTICS.
The report of the United States Labor
Bureau on the subject of the morals of
working women is a new indication of the
disposition of the head of that bu-eau to
expand the field of labor statistics by most
remarkable additions. Last year the main
effort of the bureau was in the direction of
statistics of the divorce industry. This year
it concerns itself with the morals of the
working girls. In the meantime the im
portant field and the one in which exact
information will tie valuable, namely, the
conditions of industrial organization and
the influences of trade under which labor re
ceives its best rewards, or it'ce tersa, re
mains untouched.
While the question was pertinent last
year, what the divorce question has to do
with labor statistics, that is still more per
tinent this year, what call is there for the
United States Labor Bnrean to laboriously
assert that American working girls are
virtuous. The facts that these young women
support themselves by hard and generally
ill paid labor is more eloquent and convinc
ing than the so-called statistics which Mr.
Wright's inquiries have produced. It
might be very comforting to have the con
clusion established by dint of answers to
numerous circulars that young women who
work hard and live poorly are not given
OTer to lives of wanton vice, and luxury, if
it were not for the somewhat cogent fact
that everyone knew it already.
Beyond that, there is another pertinent
suggestion. Why should a government
bureau concern itself more about the morals
of female workers than about the morals of
male workers? A report on the morals of
Congressmen would be about as pertinent
as the last issue of the Labor Bureau, and
would probably contain a great many more
interesting facts.
The assault on the validity of the street
act of 1889 introduces once more into the
question of city improvements the old un
certainty of the rulings of the Supreme
Court. It is beyond our province to at
tempt to predict how the courts will view
the points raised on behalf of the 'opponents
of the Diamond street widening. Neverthe
less the fact that these points are raised will
suggest the question whether it might not
have been wise to stick, to the act of i 1887,
THE'
the validity of which no one had been found
to assail during the two years it was in
force
Weatheb prophet Hicks' announce
ment that the first polar wave of the season
will sweep over the country next Sunday
justifies the people in expecting mild and
sunny fall weather on that day. Hicks'
predictions are generally coppered by the
adverse elements.
Yesteeday's session of the Board of
Steam Navigation was largely devoted to
the question of freeing the Monongahela
from tolls. Captain Dravo's energetic
speech put the issue squarely before the
board, and the resolutions which were
passed, will constitute a strong support of
the measure before. Congress. On matters
like the Lake Erie and Pittsburg Canal
and the Monongahela navigation question,
the board could not represent Pittsburg
views more thoroughly if it had been elected
entirely by Pittsnurg votes.
The irhite heat of Chicago's Exposition
boom is apparent when the able-bodied
press of that city is worked up to the point
of denouncing a recusant St. Paul paper
that has said something in favor of New
York as "a Traitor to the "West."
The alleged discovery that Mrs. Burnett
did not invent "Little Lord Fauntleroy" is
not surprising. It is the fashion with great
literary successes to have the discovery
made after their success is complete that
they are built on the model of something
that has preceded them. But the fashion is
no less rigid that the original models drop
into the unknown graves of literature, while
the copies written by people like Mrs. Bur
nett catch the hearts of thousands. It is
singular what a difference it makes who
writes the stories.
The attendance of over 10,000 people at
Captain Jones' funeral shows the universal
esteem and affection in which the dead
manager was held by all the people who
were brought under his wise and energetic
control.
"The marriage of Prince Hatzfeldt to
Miss Huntington will not necessarily make
him the distributer of her father's millions.
The old gentleman will still retain consider
able authority in that direction," remarks a
cotemporary. This does not present any
especial amelioration. If Prince Hatzfeldt
should distribute the Huntington millions,
we do not believe he would spend any of it
in buying Congressmen or legislatures.
New York's guarantee fund is assuming
magnificent proportions. As soon as twenty-
three other gentlemen can be found to make
the twenty-five who are to compose it, it
will fairly be said to be booming.
A defalcation of 51,200,000 in the
Louisiana State by Democrats discloses the
fact that the carpet-bag and negro State
governments were not the only ones that
stole public moneys. Perhaps it suits the
Southern taste better to be robbed by whites
to the manor born than by interlopers from
other States; but it costs as much in the
long run. '
The disposition of the Johnstown workers
to get up a riot because they are not paid, is
is almost as reprehensible as the disposition
in some other quarters, to let payday pass
without providing the fund?.
Jeff Davis' recent magazine article on
"General Wolseley's Mistakes," suggests
the thought that while both disputants have
made monumental and separate mistakes in
the past, they are both making the same
mistake at present. That is the mistake of
supposing that the public cares anything
about their disputes over a back-number
issue.
The putting into actual operation of the
tin plate factory at the Exposition will show
the public what Pittsburg may possibly do
in this heretofore unknown line of industry
in the United States.
The fact that an Ohio court has decided
against the Standard Oil Company's claim
that its oil and gas leases give it control of
every thing above and below the ground,
except for agricultural purposes, is reassur
ing but not remarkable. The singular thing
would have been to have so absurd a claim
sustained.
The congress of the three Americas opens
with lunches and dinners, and will conclude
with a grand feast of international com
merce. Afteb the Democratic organs have been
jumping on Tanner and Dalzell with all
four feet, it is refreshing to find the Atlanta
Constitution making the discovery that they
are the only "two honest Republicans," and
giving its exquisite reason that "they are in
bad odor with their party."

his weight ought to tear nothing, to me yester
day. "Why?" lasted.
"Well, you see more years ago than I care to
think about I went to see Mr. Booth play
'Richard III." I had a seat way down front,
near the fiddlers. When it came to the tent
scene whero Richard dreams very unpleasantly
I was intensely interested. Suddenly I saw
Mr. Booth fall off his couch and apparently
roll straight toward me. I thought he was
coming for me, and scared out of my wits I
jumped and ran for the door as fast as I could.
Since then I've never seen him and, do you
know, I'm really afraid of him."

0SLI THE TEUTH STATED.
Commissioner Wright on tlio Condition of
St. Louis Working Girls.
rSFKCIAL TXUEQBAH TO THE DISPATCH t
Washington, October 2. "If the papers
had published exactly what I said in my report
the public would probably recognize that
nothing more than the truth bad been stated,"
said Commissioner Wright, of tho Department
of labor, wnen he was shown to-day a pub
lished telegram quoting an article severely
criticising the Commissioner for a portion of
his last report on the condition of working
women An the large cities. "The report," he
continued, "does cot say that the worst 'tailors'
back Bhops' are in St. Louis, hut some of the
worst found anywhere in the Investigation. It
doesn't say the working women do not go to
church or that they all go to dance halls, but
this Is what it does say:
There Is comparatively little church going
among the worMng girls of bt. Louis, the dance
honse claiming the attendance of far too many,
even of girls from 13 years of age and upward,
bunday balls and matinees are largely patronized.
There are no libraries, lecture courses or clubs to
afford advantages to working girls, and there is
much Illiteracy among them.
"The report does not say that the moral con
ditions are lower than in any other city, but
that the standard is, generally speaking, lower
than in many other cities, but also states that
sotno proprietors look carefully after the
physical and moral welfare of their employes.
The report did not say that while the work
rooms of the cigarmakers were fine, and the
dav only eight hours long, the wages were low,,
and most of the workmen thoss whose habits
of life are often riotous that is, excessively!
dissipated and all that is true. In fact, know
ing the character of tho agents who collected
the statistics on which these few general re
marks are based I will vouch for the truth of
every word."

of said bangs would penult to abjure them
forever, and with Puritan severeness appear.
But. alasl as the cooler, dryer weather comet,
this resolution shares the fate of the majority
of resolutions.
The bang is a staying feature. An attempt
was made to dislodge it with the pompadour,
which reigned supreme for a time, but with
Mrs. Cleveland It went out. I adopted the
pompadour with great glee, as I always do a
reform that savors of common-sense. You
know in order to be of note now-a-days one must
be uncommon in some things. If they can't be
uncommonly pretty, they must be uncommonly
plain, and if they are unfortunate enough tolbe
neither one nor the other, uncommonly sensible
would be a good motto. Well, as I say, I
adopted the pompadour and the pompadour
flourished beyond my most sanguine expecta
tions, ii was one oi me nuuy kino, anu t was
the envy of all my male relatives and friends
for months, but the day of woe arrived. I
started a natural gas fire in Pittsburg without
previous instructions, and I had a prospectus
of a future pompadour left nothing more,
nothing less.
I immediately consulted a hair dresser and
fonnd that the pompadour was fall out of style
anyway" "La Tosca" being the latest and
newest in their line. It originated in the play
"Lalosca"and is a fac-simile of a wig worn
by Fanny Davenport. It Is a simple round
bang for the forehead, differing from the
saucer bang by being cut very low on the
sides clear down to the ear. In fact, and it is
very pretty and becoming to all faces. Young,
sweet faces are enhanced by the short wavy
hair artistically cut, of course, and older, moro
mature faces lose some of the age and appear
more youthful framed as it were. "La Tosca"
promises to be a great favorite the coming
season. The straight, pointed banc remains
very popular with Pittsburg ladles andisrery
pretty. The Hading is affected by ladies with
prominent features. In New York the round
fluff bang rages. In Philadelphia the shingle
saucer bang is paramount. Chicago ladies
wear everythingfromshlngledbangto shingled
hair.
The stylish coiffure of to-day is either plaited
or coiled from the base of the head to the
crown, entirelv covering the back part, and
little artificial curls are tucked in at tho lowest
point of the coiffure. To complete it are re-
?uired side combs every one that returns
rom Europe sports side combs. They come In
all Btyles and in all values from modest little
shell ones to handsome ivory and silver ones
exquisitely mounted with precious stones. The
hairpins worn include everything imaginable
in fancy ones besides tho ordinary shell, and
are of all sizes and forms. In ye olden times
the word hairpin brought to our minds a
straight, disagreeable black wire arrangement
that was more an article ot torture than any
thing else, lor, as John Chinaman would say, it
took so many of him to dress even a small
quantity of hair and they were forever making
us uncomfortable by piercing the scalp instead
of staying the hair, and then to find which
separate distinct pin was committing the crime
was often a difficult task.
Now, at the word, "hair-pin," what don't we
think of 7 Such a variety of designs, such a
multitude of sizes, such a variety of material
nsed in the manufacture of theml The artistic
coifluro and pin of to-day are certainly a de
cided improvement upon the plain, straight
coils and pin of the past

rTvarmnr ron tot dispatch.!
A large sun-spot group is visible on the solar
disk at present This is' something rather un
usual, as the solar spots are periodic, there be
ing the greatest number every II- years. One
of these "maxima," as they are called, will
occur in 1893. Midway between tbe maxima
months may pass without a single spot showing
itself, and a large group is rare. The group
now visible Is near the western edge of tbe
disk, not far from the equatorial line, and will
be earned out of sight in a few days (if it does
not cease to exist before that time) by the sun's
rotation.
As is probably known, the sun rotates on its
axis like tbe earth, except that it takes the sun
about 26 days to complete S revolution. The
time is not very accurately known, because It
must be determined by watching the spots, and
observing bow long it takes any given spot to
complete a whole revolution, or a certain part
of one.
Somewhat Paradoxical.
It is necessary to assume that tbe spot travels
as fast as the whole body of the sun does, and
no faster, but it is found that each spot has a
motion of its own over tbe sun's surface, for a
spot near the equator is seen to rotate about
once in 25 days, while one near latitude 45 re
quires about 23 days. Tbe ancients thought the
sun was a large mass of molten metal, and the
spots (for there have been quite a number large
enough to be visible to the unassisted eye)
were impurities floating on the surface. They
are now known to be simply openings in tbe
Photosphere, the luminous envelope of the sun.
Any one possessed of a good telescope may con
vince himself of this fact by watching a large
spot as it enters upon or leaves the sun's disk.
Tbe Big, Hollow Spot.
The largest spot on the group now visible,
for example, will be seen to be made up of a
dark central portion, called tbe "umbra,"
and a lighter portion surrounding it called the
"penumbra." Now, as tbe spot approaches the
edge of the disk it will be seen foreshortened.
and the penumbra on the side nearest the cen
ter will become narrower, and at the same time
will seem to encroach upon the black umbra,
until finally tho umbra, which is the deepest
portion of the cavity, will be entirely lost to
view, nothing being visible but the penumbra
on the side farthest from the center of the
disk, which is the far side of the hole. This
hole now is so largo that there would be room
to drop several of our earths into it
The sun's apparent diameter on the 15th
of the month is 32' 12 ', and his distance from
the earth 92,WO,000 miles.
Fleet Mercury and Other Stars.
Mercury reaches his greatest angular dis
tance west of tbe sun on the 31st of tne month.
He is then 18 43' west of the sun, and rises one
hour and 48 minutes before him in the morn
ing, long enough to give the zealous young
astronomer a good look at him if he is willing
to rise at 5 or 5 JO in the morning. He will be
visible a few degrees above the sunrise point at
about 615 during the last few days of the
month. The disk will be about the half-moon
phase, and 8.6" m diameter.
Venus is still a conspicuous object in tbe
morning sky. She rises about 4 o'clock, and is
the last star to disappear before the approach
of Old Sol, three hours later. She is about
one-third as bright as she was, when at her
best; her apparent diameter is 12.3'', and the
phase nearly lull.
Mars is now not far from Venus, being, on
the 15th of the month, about 9 west by north
west of that planet hut much inferior in
brightness. His apparent diameter is 4.4".
Jupiter and More Distant Ones.
Jupiter still holds the palm, shining unriv
aled in the southwestern sky in the early
evening, but he is waning; and in two or three
months will be swallowed up in the beams of
tbe sun, to be seen no more until he emerges
on the western side of tne sun as morning star.
His apparent diameter is 35", and be is in the
constellation Sagittarius, or the Archer.
Saturn Is getting into good position for ob
servation, rising in the morning about 25 min
utes earlier every week. He is in the constel
lation Leo, near the leading star of that con
stellation, Regulus. Near the first of the
month he is only 2 east of Regulus, and moves
slowly East This star furnishes an excellent
means of noticing the motion of the planet
Saturn's apparent diameter Is 16''.
Uranus, at best just visible to the unassisted
eye, is now not to be seen even with a tele
scope, as he Is almost exactly in line with the
sun and earth L702.000.000 miles awav on the
other side of tbe sun. Uranus passes conjunc
tion with the sun on tho 15th of tbe montb,
thus becoming morning star, though he will
not be visible as such for some time to come.
The Farthest of AH.
Neptune Is morning star, but rises soon after
sunset He is very near a fifth magnitude star
in the constellation Taurus, about 6 directly
north of Gamma, the star at the point of the V
in tbe cluster known as theHy&des. He can
not be seen, however, with a telescope, for,
although his alameter is more than four times
that of the earth, his immense distance, 2,680,
000,000 miles, makes him shine as a star of only
tbe eighth magnitude.
The comet discovered by Prof, Brooks on the
6th of last July has been observed to have split
up into three pieces. This is a very rare phe
nomenon, and great interest is taken in tbe oc
currence by the astronomical world. In tne
case of Biela's comet which was a regular
comet with a known period of revolution, a
division was noticed in January, 1846, and on
the next return, in 1852, the parts were a mill
ion and a half miles apart and have not been
seen since that The behavior of these comet
fragments is observed with great Interest

Bailey, in Greenwood Cemetery. Dickie bad a
family plot of his own at Guilford, Conn but
it was not In readiness for an interment, and,
as he says, be availed himself of tbe offer of
his wife's relatives. Subsequently he ex
pended nearly 51,000 in beautifying tbe Guil

Dickie's memory. Tho work was finished some
weeks ago, and Dickie applied to tbe cemetery
trustees for a permit to remove his wife's re

Tbe trustees refused to grant the permit
Mr. Dickie then learned for the first time that
Captain G. E. Overton, of tbo Sixth United
States Cavalry, and A. K. Overton, brothers of
Mrs. Dlckie.had filed with tbe trustees a formal
protest as next of kin to the deceased, against
the proposed disinterment and transfer of the
body. Mr. Dickie brought suit for a mandamus
to compel the cemetery trustees to give hfm tbe
body. In the Supreme Court to-day Judge Bar
rett eranted a mandamus compelling the trus

whenever he chooses.

The wire sagged down to the street and lay fa

away. An uninsulated pirt of the wire
touched the head of his horses, and both fell
stiff and motionless to the pavement Michael
Lynch ran out into the street to learn what was

and was keeled over like a tenpln. By this
time the car tracks and pavements were alive
with electric currents, which drove tbe gather

sidewalks. Two more horses were tumbled
over before a lineman came along and cut the

an examination showed tbat his left leg was

BOOTH AT HIS BEST.

Scares a Triumph In Richelieu With
Dlndara Modjeska as an Ally.
"Richelieu," of small historical value, is a
play of no little strength. If Bulwer-Lytton
had built it all as he has some parts it would
live forever. It will live a long while, and in a
glory not its own while Edwin Booth assumes
the grand role of the Cardinal. Mr. Booth
madenonew triumph in "Richelieu" last night;
he repeated his superb embodiment of the
great statesman, and as we think achieved a
larger grandeur than ever. There had been
reason, so it seemed, to read in Mr. Booth's
earlier work this weeksome slight abatement of
his physical strength. The gossip of the foyer
was tbat the actor had not his old time powers
In tbe full. After last night's triumph there
is no other, word that will apply this talk
should cease. Never has Mr. Booth showed
more eminently his talents, never displayed tbe
marvelous force of his personality. Recollec
tions of two former performances of "Riche
lieu" by Mr. Booth warrant oar saying tbat he
was at his very best last night Tbe presence of
Madam Modjeska made the play Infinitely su
perior of course to prior representations.
It is not easy to say wherein Mr. Booth
showed bis art most The picture ot the crafty
statesman, confident in his power to thwart his
enemies without hurrying or violent display of
feeling was perfect The passage from tbe
statesman to tbe prelate enraged and at bay,
from the minister's cabinet to presence of the
pnppet-monarcb, as it must ever do, com
pelled astonishment and admiration. So
astounding is the transformation, and so
natural withal, that a sense of terror
was bard at hand upon more normal feelings
in the beholder. Mr. Booth was Cardinal
Richelieu when he drew within the shelter of
the church Julie de Mortimer and hurled at
her pursuers his defiance. No wonder the
crowded theater burst into one wild, long roar
of applause. The outstretched hand of the
actor, his passion-drawn features and flashing
eyes, and his figure towering far above its
natural height made a picture that can never
be banished from the memory. It was an un
speakably Impressive climax.
It was impossible even for Madam Modjeska
to bring tbe character of Julie de Mortimer
into more than secondary importance beside
the Cardinal. But Madam Modjeska made
every use of her opportunities possible. The
gentle womanliness and brave heart of Julie
were admirably exhibited. Particularly In the
tragic scene in the third act was Madam
Modjeska intensely powerful Bhe blended
the purity and weakness of the maiden most
admirably with the audacity and anger of the
woman insulted. It Is a minor matter, but the
exquisite taste displayed by Madam Modieska
in her dresses calls for remark. They
were beautiful in their unusual simplicity.
Justice can hardly be done to Mr. Otis Skln-
nre .an1 A.l,,. .f JrirletT, Tim fniLVnt In (ha
few lines remalningto ns. The gallant air he
wears so well became him famously last night
There was a reminder of the flash and clash of
steel constantly In his rapid speech and free
stride. Mr. Charles Hanford was very kindly
cast as Count De Baradat. afld Mr. Rogers and
Mr. Duval are also worthy of praise. Tbe
weak monarch, Louis Xfi.,was sufficiently
weak and colorless in the hands of Mr. Vroom.
The scenery was adequate and the costumes
not lacking in beauty and richness, without
forgetting correctness of cut The audienee
filled the whole house and was not chary ot its
applause.
