The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-06-23

accepted, and CLAWS" accepting the situation,
went through with the rest Of the performance
like man and an actor.
A portion of the audience were disposed to
see the programme of the evening fairly carried
out and to give Mr.. Estln fair chance 60 spread
himself; but the unruly were in the ascendancy,
and the conduct of very large number of those
in the front of the house was simply disgraceful.
For the dscreditable features of the affair, how
ever, those who persuaded Estin to appear,
when they knew that the public was not edu-
Gated up to his style of acting, were directly
responsible; and the directors of the Academy,
who, after the Romeo" performance, must
have known what to expect, cannot
acquit themselves of blame. These gentlemen
have been very squeamish about leasing their
building to colored lecturers and to Fisk's
opera bOyfe troupe, but they, 1t appears, have
no objection to their stage being Uttered with
cabbages, dead cats, rotten eggs, aud other
similar filth. For the sake of decency, however,
they should have closed their doors to Estlin, or
rather to his managers, for we do not believe
that the advanced herald of the drama of the
future was aught but victim on the occasion of
this his second attempt to shine as star in the
histrionic armament.
A slight hiatus near the commencement of our
article will be observed by the attentive reader.
This was caused by the absolute refusal of the
compositors acting under instructions from
the head centre of the Typographical Union, to
set up some two million, seven thousand and
twenty-one pages of manuscript descriptive of
the progress of dramatic art from the earliest
ages to the time of Estlin, with elaborate
comparisons between his. style asd that
of other eminent histrionic geniuses. The
proof-reader protested that he would
resign before he would read such
lot of stuff, and the assistant foreman,
who on ordinary occasions demeans himself
like good Christian, exclaimed in language
we are unable to repeat that he'd be = =
before he would put the type in forms, even if
the compositors were willing to do their part
towards enabling us to edify and instruct our
readers. In vain did the foreman plead with
these violent men; they would pot yield, and
nothing has been left to the unhappy writer
but to explain the situation and to inform the
public of the pleasure that was in store for
them, but now, alas! never to be enjoyed.
CLOSING EXERCISES AT URY HoUsE.-A
number of the parents and friends of this ex-
cellent institution assembled yesterday to wit
ness the exercises attendant on the closing of
the schools for the summer vacation. The pro-
gramme on the occasion was as follows
Bernardo and King Alphonso, by Charles Spaldng
Farnum; Voices OF the Dead, by Sargent Prentiss
Mutt; Marmon taking leave OF Douglas, by James
Bond Catine to his Friends by Samuel Miller
Hitchcock; beautiful duet, "The Murmuring Sea-"
was then sung by Messrs. Charles and Norman
Crawford The Pipes at Lucknow, by Newbery Allen

Graves Parke; Rienzt's ADDRESS, by Byron, Moore
the school joining in the chorus, GAS Pants the
Hart Regulus, by William de veaux Foulke; The

Marno Faliero, by Charles William Cochran.
Prizes were then awarded for the best decla-
nation, for composition, for the best annual
examination, and first and second testimonials
medal was also awarded to the most faithful
boy during the year. The defamation was very
credtable to the young gentlemen and their de-
pertinent most excellent. The singing afforded
exercises showed that this institute under the
able administration of Mrs. Crawford, aided by
Professors Harndon and Hay, has fully main
tained its former high reputation.
THrEvING FEMALE.-Some time ago a
woman named Bridget Kehoe arrived in this
city from the old country, and proceeded to find
the residence of her brother-in-law in the dis
trict of Kensington. She had in her possession
a carpet bag and bandbox, and in her wander
ings in quest of her relative, she was met by a
woman, named Mary McCarty, who volunteered
help in her explorations. Mary took Bridget
to a tavern, and requested the proprietor to
allow them to deposit their dry goods for a short
time, when they would call and get them. The
request was kindly granted, and, taking up the
search, the brother-in-law was at last found.
Mary, having accomplished her friendly mis-
sion, then departed, and Bridget, after the usual
greetings, went back to the tavern for the band
box and valise, but they were gone, for Mary
had been there before her, had donned the
night, however, the thieving McCarty was dis
covered strutting in the upper section of the
city in all the glory of the stolen goods. She
was promptly arrested, and some of the articles
recovered. Alderman Helms has held her in
$500 bail.
THE GREAT BRIpEsBURG PUMP.-The new
pump manufactured by the Hydraulic aud Hy-
drostatc Company, of which Barton I'll. jerks
is President, is creating a decided furore among
scientific men. Heretofore the application OF
its power has been devoted to lifting water from
great depths, and there has been running in
rid a w thrOWa q
of water twenty inches in diameter with tre-
mendous force. But now the same principle
has been used in small hand force pump, just
completed at this company's works at Brides
burg, which is ten inches long, one and three
quarter inches in diameter, and containing seven
propellers. To this pump Is attached base two
inches in diameter, with pipe of one-halt inch
nozzle. This upon the working of the appa
ratus, which is easy and unlaborious, projects a
stream of water sixty-fve feet into the air.
Should this principle be adopted in the manu-
facture of steam engines, marvellous results
wSuld be attained.
THE OLD FRANKLIN SAVING FUND, by their
large increase of business, finding themselves,

more room, have now removed from No. 136

THE OTHER SIDE.-We have this morning
the other side of the story connected with the
alleged beating of Michael MeNaulty by Police
men sHowley, of the Eighteenth district, on
Sunday night last in Susanna street, near York.
The policeman asserts that McNaulty had been
