MoKane's hand went up and he deposited hia hat on tho table. "You will now turn out your pookets and remove your jewelry," went on the keeper. McKane turned his pockets out as the meekest of prisoners, and laid $20.78, tho biggest part of it in bills, on the clerk's desk. Westlake then placod his fingers on the big 2 karat diamond that sparkled in MoKane's shirt front and twisted it free. He nipped his little white tie from its mooring with lightning like rapidity and was about to release the plain gold collar button when McKane's voice stopped him.

NOT PUNISHED ENOUGH. 2'o the Editor or the Brooklyn Eagle: Having been abused and insulted by a police officer, I did my duty as a citizen and preferred charges against the officer at polico headquarters. What wns the result? The officer was ordered to stand trial after the charges were thoroughly investigated by his captain.

I appearod to proseoute, notwithstanding that great influence had been brought to bear upon me to withdraw the charges. I produced witnesses to corroborate my statement in every detail, which seemed to establish my case to the satisfaction of tho commissioner from the fact of him not allowing mo to call upon others whom I had at command. Tho trial not only proved my case, but it developed the fact that the officer had left his post without just cause, and through his wild actions" had collected a crowd, which he afterward failed to disperse. It also breught out tho faot that tho officer in his frenzy had deliberately clubbed an inoffensive cilizon without cause. The officer, having been placed upon tho stand, doniod the oharges.

The commissioner allowed the case to rest here and simply imposed a fino of three days' pay upon the officer. Friends of, the officer had boasted that he had a pull and it seems to me that they boasted right. If such redress is all that abused citizens may expect to receive I think the wisest course to pursue will be to submit and say nothing. A Reader. DeKalb avenue.

F. Yesterday morning Colonel John Oakey, who was nppointod United States district attorney by Judge Horace Gray consequent upon tho expiration of tho term of Jesse Johnson, until tho vacancy was flllod, had a visitor who had at least the merit of being fraak. "Are you now district attorney," ho asked, Bitting himself in chair. ''Yes," Mr. Oakey ropliod.

"You have been for years, though, the assistant district nttorney, hnvo you not?" 'Yes," was the reply. "Well, you know Mr. Bennett has been appointed district attorney and I am going to bo appointed by him as hi3 nsslsinnt." Tho colonel replied that he had read of Mr. Bennett's appointment, but did not know that he hud as yet appointed an assistant, and told his visitor that ho would lino to know his This he refused nt first to oive, but when Mr. Oakey informed him that he would hold no furthsr conversation with him unless ho did he rolentod and gave tho information, but for the life of him, Mr.

Oakey says, be has now forgotten the name. After a little preliminary conversation, Mr. Oakey'g visitor unbonded himself further and said he would like to know exactly what duties the assistant had to perform and the salarv attached. was told that the salarv of the office was S2.000 per year and that "his duty would be to prepare all the indictments, to appear in court to press them and to plead all cases brought before the United States court. Home of tho oaso3 were Intricate and tho drawing of an indictment was a work that required groat care and legal knowledge to make it hold and be effective.

As na iastanoe he was shown one indictment which made fifty six folios. This he lookod at for a few minutes and then, throwing it asido. exclaimed: "Oh, that is all right They are all drawn upon precedents aud if you could do the work I think lean. Tho business of this court doesn't amount to much, but I guess I can run it all right. The salary, however, is too small, and I will have Mr.

Bennett increase it. Uy the way, how muoh aoe3 his salary amount to "Two hundred dollars a year," was tho reply. "Wlmt, only that much' How does the office pay him "Fees ho receives makes tho salary coasider orable." "Oh. I see. Well, I guess I will accept the the offloe, and, of course, am sorry to see you go out.

I can't help it. old man. Bennett wants mo and his wish is law. Goodby." With this the visitor went away. Mr.

Oakey describes him as a blonde voung man about 25 years of age. He is not tho first to call upon the office holders in the federal building. Eiirly yesterday morning half a dozen callers were In the marshal's office, making inquiries of the situations held and tho salaries paid. Some of the presumed office seekers sent their requests by letter, evidently believing that the now appointees wern already in power. Six letters addressed, "Unitod States Marshal Hay den," were received In the flrst mail yesterday.

Letters nddressed to Mr. Bennett and Mr. Healy. giving them their prospective titles, were also received in the same mall. DR.

TALMAGE. Is tbe Pastor of tlie Tabernacle Opposed Because Theologically Liberal To thoTlaUor of the Brooklyn Kaalf: At this time, whon the Tabernacle is in difficul ties, does it not seem mortifying to citizens that so many church people of this city of churches should make such a distinction between theology and religion as to attempt to creato a dislike for that chnrch? Is it becauso Dr. Talmace's views are so brond as to offend strictly denominational Christians? Can it be that the spirit of malice, that dominant factor in human nature, has so far sained control as to show itself in an instance such as this? That Dr. Talmage is a power, and does a groat amount of good to people who need a practical religion, is very evident, as well as that his departure would be a great loss to Brooklyn. If church people cannot, encourage by their assistance the preaching of a puro.

simple gospel, regardless of denomination, would it not be wiser for them to remain silent If they cannot beliove a thing to which among many, would testify, i. that a simple sentence full of every day truth, yot clearly expressing the meaning of the scriptures, does as much, if not more, toward convicting a guilty conscienoe than a whole theological argu ment upon the same subject, why is it necessary for them to discourage suoh a thoory In unity thero is strength. What effect do dissensions in the Christian church have upon the unconverted of this city and the world These are questions which suggest themselves to an observer at this time. Brooklyn.

GRAVESESD SUPERVISOR. Bo They Intend to Continue tho Boos Syntom? To the Editor or the Brooklyn Eagle I would like to say through the Eaole a few words to the legal voters of the town of Graves end. You will have a chance to say at your next town election whether the majority of you believe in the boss rule whioh has disgraced tho town or whether you are able to govern yourselves without a boss. I you are satisfied with the present gang (tRe boss is on a vacation), you will vote ono of them or a sympathizer in their methods into the oftioe of supervisor. If you are not satisfied you will pick out for the office and elect a man who has antagonized those methods and boss rule consistently, not lately, but all the time for years.

A man who has lived all his lifo in Gravcsend, ho is acquainted with all the town affairs as far as anyone not iu the gang can be. who is a business man of ability enough to sucoeed, although persecuted and kept at a disadvantage for years by the bosB and gang bo cause ho had a backbone of his own and owned himself. Tho man I am thinking of and hope you will think of. I have heard, has already boon talked of and has been approached and declined to bo considered as a candidate, but my advice is got George C. Tilyou to servo the town of Gravesond as supervisor if you can.

Ho won't boss you or try to. Taximteu. Buooklym, February 28, 1804. FAVORS CONSOLIDATION. But Docs Not Believe in Equal Taxation Provisions.

To the Editor or the. Brooklvn Eagle: In your issue of thin evening I find a communication atldrossed to Senator Reynolds by four officers of the Consolidation league of Brooklyn, wherein they aBSume to speak for tho people of the City of Brooklyn muoh in the same way us the famous tailors of Tooloy streot assumed to speak for the people of London. Thoir assertion that "no successful vote at tho polls can be got in this city unless your (Keynold'B) amendmont is passed" looks vory much like rule or ruin. The amendment of Senator Reynolds roceivod only 2 votes and was killed to day, and in my humblo opinion the gentlemen of the senate know what was best, as Bradley, who was at first in its favor, evontually voted with the majority, and Rsynol ds and his aido do camp went it alone. Thank God that tho legislature has at last permitted the people to oxpross their will upon this great question, and after consideration should not "put it back twenty five years." Tho people are now united into a consolidation league, and in my humble opinion the opponents of tho bill will be buried beyond resurrection.

Gentlemen, do not for ono moment think that you echo the sentiments of the 0,000 members of your league. Mourns W. IIaht. Rl'srkll tlace, February 127, 1804. nOTKI.

Smith of Flat bush, who has been confined to his bed for sorao time suffering from a parelytio stroke, is now ravesend's Fallen Chieftain Puts On a Convict's Stripes. All nope Falling Re Is Hustled Off to Sing Sins, Shaved snd Shorn and Pnt in Cell 119 ou the Third Moor To Learn tho Trade of a Clotliine cutter. John Y. MaKane, after a useless do; ay in his attempt to iceep distance between him nnd prison confinement, donned th stripes at Sing Sing yesterday afternoon. It was just 3:25 o'eloolc when ho walked from the warden's office, after having given his pedigroe, to the bath room nnd barbr shop, where he reoivod his stylo of clothing fr the next four years.

AH along the jounaey from Baymond street jail to tbe very door of the Sing Sing prison, he seorotly. and his friends Ibbs so, wore hopeful getting news ol a stay. Throughout this seTor ordeal SIoKane showod himself to be a man of wanderful grit. There were no tears, no tremor of the Toioo or weakness of the limbs, no Impassioned comment on those who opposed him in tho battle in the courts, no harshness for anyone. He was a subdued man, whoso mind was occupied with pictures of tho place whore he must work and suffer to atone for his political sins.

So far as the most critical eye could fathom, John Y. MeEane was yesterday reconciled to his fnte. Sheriff Buttling, Stryker 'Williamson, Mc Kane's faithful friend in his ssverost troubles; Deputy Sheriff Samuel Lee Thompson and. the prisoner were the ocoupant9 of the closed carriage, with the blinds drawn, that rolld out of the yard of Baymond street jail shortly after 12 o'olock yesterany afternoon. For a time tho newspupor men and other interested spectators in the vicinity looked upon the carriage with its drawn curtains as a decoy used by the sheriff to clear the mob, so that he might later make his exit with the prisoner aad take a contrary direction.

Such was not the caso. The carriage really contained the four men, and was bound for the Graad Central depot in New York. The earriago traveled slowly, however, and did not reach Forty second stroet in time to catch the Poughkeepsle local which ran out of the dopot at 1:10 o'clock. Whothar the train wns missed purposely or not is of little consequence; the nly inconvenience it caused was to a number ol curiosity mongers who were alrsady tired from their long watch when 1 o'clock rolled on. On the obo hand it can not be doubted but that McKano was very anxious to hear of Judge Barrett's reeeDtion of the application for a stay, and since the news did not reaoh the Grand Central until after 1 o'clotk, It could hardly bo expected that he would willingly take the 1:10 train.

Again Sheriff Buttling says that he had no intention delay, but meant originally to cnteh the 1 o'clock train. There was no 1:10 train marked in his time table. In ridlne to the deDot he dis covered he coulil not catch the 1 o'clock train, and to servo himself and the prisoner deoidud te drive around for a little while. After leaving the bridge, on his way to Forty second street, he drove up Center street to Canal, to Broadway, to Madison square, to Fifth aveuue, to Thirty ninth street, to Broadway, to Forty sixtfa street, to Sixth avenue, to Fiftieth street, to Fifth avonue, to forty fourth street, to Vanderbilt avenue, to tho station. When tho coach pulled up in front of the depot the sheriff was tho first to step out.

After Mm came the prisoner, looking a trifle mbarrassed, followed by tiep uty Sheriff Thompson and Stryker Williamson. The crowd which stood about on the sidewalk numbered at least two hundred people, and they stared McKane out of countenance when a pas sago was made to the entrance. The sheriff had very wisely sent an advance guard before him. It consisted of Keepers Wilson, Jnmioson and Bull of the Baymond street jail, all of whom know tho prisoner well and have got to an understanding of his habits by reason of long watching at his side. They lent coasiderablo help in keeping back the crowd.

In addition they made an arrangement with tho oompany's officials to have the prisener escorted to a car in ine train yard and locked up until it was ready to depart. When MoKane entered the depot, Wilson, Jamieson and Ball stood at equal distance from the door of trie train yard, and McKane, Thompson, Buttling and Williamson passed tnrough. They orossed. the tracks with tho three keepers after them and finally entered a car which was promptly locked after Sheriff Buttling took his departure. Through the windows looking out into the train yard the curious ones peered, and various ejaculations, nearly all or them sympathetic, however, fell on every side.

Sheriff Buttliag's departure was only to the cigar stand in the depot where he purchased some oigars. He talked for a fow minutes with the newspaper men, during wnich he pledged them his word that ho had not intentionally missed the 1:10 train, nor had he delayed to hear from tho application that was made to Judge Barrett. He reiterated the statement that the 1:10 train was not marked on tho time table and displayed it to prove tho truth of hi3 words. The door to tho train yard was opened for him and he passed through to tba train where McKane and the keepers wore sitting. There was a very dramatie incident at the station that furnished food for hours of comment.

When MoKane stepped from the carriage and started for the door of the depot a rather low sized man, with gray hair and mustache, stepped out of the crowd and. approaching McKane, said as the latter passad him: "This is my revenge. I havs come a long way for this. I was rich and in business at Coney Island and you ruined me. Now I am satisiled.

Tills is my revenge. The man who had spoken these words, in a tone that wa not loud, but wonderfully earnest, then turned to the newspaper men who had clustered about him and gave his name as Pater A. Tilyou, and said ho was nt one time a keeper of a hotel at Coney Island. When the qnestions which were put to him were answered he quietly walked away and appearod wrapped in thought. When 2:15 o'clock came round on the big dial In tho railroad depot a gong was struck and fully a seoro of newspaper men, followed by a hundred other passengers, made for the train, in one car of whioh MeKano was waiting to be waited to his fate.

When Sheriff Buttling aw the passengers filing toward the car he took a seat beside McKane while Deputy Sheriff Thompson and Stryker Williamson sat in the next settee. Tho newspaper men occupied all tho room in tho vielnity and many times endeavored to ongage tho fallen cliief taiu in conversation, but without avail. He persistently but courteously answered tuat he had nothing to say. MaKano's companions on tho dismal journey were his thoughts. Occasionally only did be turn his head aud whisper a fow words to Stryker Williamson.

Only once on the rido did ho seem to bo his old solf. This was a few miles from Sing Sing, when, looking out of a window, he saw a wreck lying in the ditch. His face resumed its old time earnestness then, but it was only for a moment's duration. When It was nnssed and ho had inquired if anybody was "killed by it lie lapsed again into a lethargic state and remained in that condition until a series of screeohes announced the nearness of his destination. McKanostrnightonod himself upon the seat as the train pujied into tho dpot aad a minute later stood up by Sheriff Buttling's side.

Tho rewd that flllod the train yard to see McKane was in good port recruited from the military academy nearby. It so hiip prnod that they were all on the sido of the train which passengers ordinarily alight from, but which on this occasion McKane and his keopors did not use. It was from the opposite side of the train that they alighted, but the cry quickly went up that they were there and a frantla scamper was made to cross the cars to them. As McKane saw the human delugo pouring on him he looked like a frightened deer and cowered first a bit as if to protect himself from an uttack. Tho little party gradually movod away from tho crowd and began the walk up track to tho prison yard.

A delegation of newspaper man led the van and another delegation brought up tho rear. McKane and his keeper, together with Stryker Williamson, wore sandwiched between them. Tho track is no pleasant thorouirhfaro and tho I melting snow made it sloppy. McKane found i tho walking difficult and" sometimes shifted from side to side in quest of saler paths, but he saia notniug. unco or twico as lie waited he lifted his head to see the prison, but the gray, cold inviting space of wall and bars must have pained his eyes, for he quickly dropped his head on his breast.

Entering tho prison gate two or three convicts passed him, carrying books and bundles. Tlioy wore the regulation suit, and smiled expansively as thoy beheld McKane. The latter surveyed them quietly for a moment and the muscles of his laoo twitohed perceptibly. His step lost none of its elasticity as he ontared tho prison. Chief Keepnr Westlake received him at the door and led him into the office and to a desk where Chief Olerk E.

P. Corwm of Newburgh sat. Sheriff Buttling preoeded McKane and Stryker Williamson walked direatly after him and took Tne Third Bachelors' Ball at the Pouch Mansion. So Brilliant Were Its Predecessors That II Is to Be Itrpcated Annually The Number of Subscribers Limited to Seventy To Be Given on itpril 6. Tho bachelors' ball, which has evidently become an annual affair, will be held this year on April 6 at the Pouch mansion, Clinton avenue.

The first bachelors' ball was givon two years ago at the Union League club. It was one of the chief sooinl events or tho season. Encouraged by the success that had rewarded thoir initiatory efforts the committee in chargo, whioh comprised William H. Lvon, jr. Andrew Peters, Carrol J.

Post, and Frank D. Tuttle. dooidsd to have anothur. This also was hold at the Union League club and was, if possible, a more brilliant affair than the one that had preceded it. Tho present year tho committee uoterminen to hold tno ball at the Touch mansion, having concluded for several reasons that it was prererable to tho Union League club.

The list of subscribers is limited to seventy, aad that number of men, prominent in sooiety here and in New York, have already been invited to attend. The patronesses will be Mrs. Charles S. Whitney. Mrs.

Madame Sarah Grand, tho not yet clearly dotermined person whose true name is by some suspected to be something elge. and author of certain sonsational novols with heroines of striking and independent roles, makes a "drive," not always unjust, against tho other sex. which she aocuses liberally of preferring what Bhe delicately calls "cow women" and "scum women." Beside tho justice which can be found in the paper, no reader will fail to see the vicor, even that of hato or pique.

FEEGUSON OS THK APPOIXTBENTS. To the Editor the Brooklyn Eagle: Referring to the article published in your paper of yesterday, headed "He Preferrod MuKinney," permit me to suggeBt that the writer of that article overlooked a vory important point contained in your report, which involves the deduction that some one has taken unwarranted liberty with tho expression made by tho so called "anti snappers" and both the Brooklyn and Young Men's Democratic clubs, that Alexander McKiuney was their unanimous choice, and hence, if the statement is true, that Mr. Healy has no desire for tho position, it having been pressed upon hini, it should now bo known by whom and by what authority was this done without tbe sanction of tho institutions mentioned. In view of tho fact that there is no reoord of the declination of Mr. McKinnoy, it is time some ono should be held responsible for this chango of front.

Perhaps Mr. Sliepard, who poses and is willing at this time to bo recognized as the representative of Grover Cleveland in Kings county, will explain. Ono thing is sure: By tho act of refusal to appoint Mr. McKinnoy simply because it would be an insult to an annihilated boss Mr. Olevelsnd lias, to say the least, estranged some friends.

It looks as if some one elso is trying to "cast an anchor to the windward" benide Mr. Cleveland. Bbooklyn, March 2, sin. W. P.

Lon dok, March 2 By command of the queea Mr. aud Mrs. Gladstone will proceed to Wind" or castle this afternoon aud will remain as tho guests of her majesty until to morrow. At noon to morrow a privy council will held at Windsor castlo and upon this occasion' Mr. Gladstone will tender his resignation of the premiership.

Tho Earl of Kimberly, lord president of th council; Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty, and the other ministers, with the ex ception of Lord Rosebory, will bo presont. Mr. Gladstone is in excellent health and spirits to day and spent the lorenoon quietly at home. The radicals, headed by Mr. Labou chore, have decided not to servo under any1; peer, nnd they state that if Lord Rosebery Us made premier, the exlstenoe of the new Minis try is limited to a week.

The Daily Sews announces tnat although Mr. Gladstone has not resigned and all definite an nouncemonts on the subject are premature. "Wt fear that, owing to personal reasons which havo) been often described, the event cannot muobl longer bo In a leaaer commenting on the foregoing thoi Daily timer says: "The splendor of yesterday's! speech and the vigor with which it was delivd erud make it difficult to realize that the natlo is about to lose the value of his incomparable services. Tho unimpaired strength of hl physical frame and tho undiminished brightness of his magnMcent intellect aro counterbalanced by the cruel malady which has afflicted hia eyes. It is useless to blink facte because they are inexprossibly pathetic iud intensely sad He has, we trust, years of lifo before him, and.

there is no reason why ho should not witnesi, before his final departure, the triumph of tho urinciple on which ho ha lavished his match loss powers, his eloqunc! and th inexhaustl bio stores of his wisdom. When tho day of that victory comes, ns eozno it must, it will bm Mr. Gladstone's victory. No ovont, no combination of events, can rob him of that endurX ins glory." The Jlaily Xems, discussing tho question of a successor to Mr. Gladstone, again argues thi.t tho accident of birth ought not to debar Lord Hosobcry of tho promiarship.

It says he certainly could get elected to a seat in the house? of commons. The Times in an editorial say 6: "The elose a great career cannot be contemplated save with sadnoss and regret, tho loast of all bjr.i those who cannot command consolation of' faith in its beneticence and unqualliled ndmira lion of its achievements. Friends and opponents are united in this crisis by a common sen i tiinent of respeetful sympathy that overleap nil differences and antagonisms. We could in deed havo wishod that in his last appearance as; tho leader of the house of commons ho baclj been able to contemplate hlmBelt as oil thai world regards him to day and as he well knows how, tho chord of emotion. There is something unworthy of the occasion, in his speech, deal ing as it did throughout with meager and blttor' banalities and current partisanship.

His most'', peristent opponents must regrot, for his own) sake, that he was unable to leave them a sweeter and more impressive recollection than aa echo of tho crudest olamor of a radioal club. Ho leaves his post without offering a programme or formulating a policy or enuneiatingi a prineiple. He has not a word to say with re gard to tho problems before tho country and ha simply dxhorts his followers to pursue his own method of Betting up steam by Betting fire to; some of our institutions. What will tho party raato of this preoious bequest?" Lord Rosebery, Earl Spencer, Mr. John Mor ley, chief secretary for Ireland, and Mr.

the homo secretary, mot at the foreign officer after Mr. Gladstone's speech. Later Mr. Glad stone took dinner with Lord Rosebery. Tho Chronicle says: "The old warrior ha gone fighting.

His fast niht In the house of' commons marked an epoch in English history: ana men win ror years eount themselves happy that thoy took even an inconspicuous part in His departure seems for the moment to leara the world bare. How wo shall miss him, his courage and faultless bearing subtly blending' the old world and tho new." Tho Times says: 'We have roason to believ that Mr. Gladstone has made his last speech im parliament as premier and that he is determined to resign before tho new session opens. Our Information is to tho effect that he announced his decision to a fow persons before he went to Biarritz and that ho never swerved from thai) decision. At the audience on Wednesday ho in formed tho queen of hi Intentions.

Ho will, take the necessary official steps in the next feir days. The cabinet was not tnltn into tho pre mier's confidence and only few intimata friends were informed of hia intention." Mr. Lnbouchere has written a letter to Edward Majorlbanks. the libernl whip, Baying thas the feeling against a peer assuming the prem iership is strong with the lloerals as well as, with the radicals: Continuing, Mr. Lnbouchere says: "During the tory administration the fact that tho premier was in the house of lords yraa a stock oomolaint of the radicals in and out ol parliament.

Mr. Gladstone's popularity was largely due to tho fact that he was regarded aa the people's minister. Bcornlng even old ago while holding the premiership. Without its being in tbe house of commons we also complained, tho party could not consult in regard to its future leador. and wo (.

anno: for a moV ment admit that either tho queen or the cabinet; can seieot our leaders in secret conclave. I lis obvious that the queen will select the man most grateful to the court instead of to the people. The secreey maintained in regard to Mr. Gladstone, tho sami ofllclal donlais up to the last moment, the manner in which his mooessor was sprung upon and tho house not sitting, havo a very ugly aspect and smauks of enbal and Intrigue. "That the queen has a right to select the premier is more true in theory than in fact, and it is probalile that within tho next few years, 1C we remain united, wo sha.ll sweep away tho hereditary chumbor.

Williamson put the jewelry in his pocket and a big tear coma out on tho instant and stood In the eyelash.

His finger went up a moment later and rubbed it away. Clerk Corwin then told McKane to give his pedigree. The ex ohief replied that his namo was John Y. MoKane, his age 51, his birthplace.

He said that ho was married and resided In the state for forty nine years, and said he did not uso tobaoco or liquor.

His religion ho gave as that of a Protestant. Having'told bo much of his personal history, MeKane was led to the big barred door entering on the corridor of the nrison, and told to walk through. Tho sheriff, his deputy and Stryker Williamson followed and accompanied him to the bathroom where they bade him goodby. He was then shaved and his hair and beard out off. Later he got a bath and was in his prison suit ou the way to the hospital to bo examined.

Shortly after 4 o'clock he was assigned to ceil 119 on the third gallery or tier. He will no longer ba known as John Y.

Thero is smallpox in Sing Sintr, and nobody but the prison officials and convicts are supposed to go behind the barred gate.

Hood, LL. began a course of law lectures to women, under the auspices of the Brooklyn institute, yesterday, at the Art association rooms, on Montague street. Mrs. Hood is the first American woman who has undertaken this work. The topio of her lecture yestorday was "Women Under the Law." After an outline sketch of women's legal status under tho oriental codes Mrs.

Hood quoted authority showing the highest standard ol women legal and proprietary Independence was obtained under the Ho man code about the fourth century of the Christian era, and the Roman woman was the peer of the women of New York to day, having possessed the power to contract with her husband, a qualification only, granted to tho Now York woman in 1892. As tho ancient family was the unit of sooiety, the man aud not tho woman could become the head of tho family, and for that reason the Roman, women were never enfranehised. On the decline of the Roman power the law consolidated tho proprietary disabilities of marries women, thereby injuring civilization so that for more thah a thousand years women have been thrust into total legal annihilation. During the past fifty years of this nineteenth century, all legislation for the acquisition of Women's property rights have been accomplished. The progressive character of woman's status was shown under the New York statutes, and the fact that the New York woman are still disfranchised under the advanced educational privileges and social conditions that have transferred the unit of modern sooiety to the individual.

The people who saw Sol Smith Russell in "A Poor Halation" last night at this house wore generous with their applause. They called Mr. Russell before the curtain at the close of the second aot and he made a little speeoh. In the course of which he said: "I am glad that there are a few people in the Cits' of Churches who like clean and legitimate drama. Your approval is encouraging, and I shall strive to obtain it so long as there is a quorum left to hoar me." The opportunity for self grat ulation which this remark offered was embraced by the audience, and the people applauded Mr.

Eussell, while thoy smiled at lheir own intelligent appreciation of the play. "A Poor Relation" has been seen in Brooklyn before, but that does not make it less interesting. The improbabilities in it are no leBS improbable than they ever were, while its wholesome simplicity is still charming. Mr. Russell is as good an actor as Master Frankie.

the 4 year old boy, who plays Rip, which is high praise. The youngster is unconscious of his surroundings, and goes through his part as naturally as if he were amusing himself in his own home. Next to Frankie and Mr. Russell the audience liked Alfred Hudson. He did not deolaim nor appear to be aware of the fact that he wore good clothes and that people were looking at him.
