We do not suppose that any intelligent per-
son paid the slightest attention to the vindic-
tive ISLANDERS with which the apolOgist of the
Custom House frauds in this city pursued the
independent Republicans of the Senate who
demanded an investigation. Still it is entirely
proper that the reply of one of them to these
characteristic attacks should be given, and we
publish to-day conversation between Senator
Schurz and our Washington correspondent,
which at once disposcs of all these reckless
charges. Neither he nor Senator Trnmbull
has any personal controversy with the Prcsi-
dent there was no concerted action between
them they meant precisely what they avOwed
to have an honest inquiry into alleged
abuses. The threat of the Custom-HOuse
organ to publish the list of recommendations
to office made by these Senators does not
appear to brighten them especially, as it is
well known to every one in Washington that
they, with Senator Sumner. have probably
demanded fewer appointments than any other
members. They needed no vindication from
the assault of the organ of Thomas Murphy
The statement of Senator Schurz is enough to
Justify them from much more respectable
criticism.

monopoly and Oppressive port charges mentioned
by TIE TRIBUNE relate to State officials Of Democratic

Abduction, Robbery, and Violation of a
Young Girl.
ST. LOUIS, May 11.-Mrs. Fisher has applied
for warrant for the arrest of man named
Rice, whom she charged with kidnapping and
violating her daughter, fifteen years old. The
girl says that on Sunday evening" while going
to church, Rice seized her in the street, gagged
her and forced her into carriage, and drove
to part of the city unknown to her, where she
was thrust into cellar without windows or fur
niture. He stripped her and gave her old
clothes, and took four rings from her fingers,
cutting one of them off. He then violated her
person and left her with loaf of bread and
jug of water
The next day he came again and outraged her
and yesterday he repeated the act. Last night
he blindfolded her and took her around the city
in carriage and left her at the corner of Eighth
and Washington streets. Rice told her that her
mother had threatened to shoot him, and now
she would have something to shoot him for.
Mrs. Fisher made a statement that she had
known Rice since she was a girl; she had re-
peatedly taken him to her house when he was
sick and cared for him; that he had seduced her
daughter when she was fourteen years eld and
had subsequently violated her; she had threat
ened 10 shoot him, and would do so If the law
did not punish him.
The warrant was Issued

HELMBOLD.
His New Continental Drug Palace.

Last night the vicinity of the Continental
Hotel was thronged by people who were anxiou
to catch glimpse-for it could hardly be more
from the press of the crowd-of DR.. II. L.
Helmbold's drug palace, which then was opened
to public inspection. This enterprlsing and
popular druggist, having by close application
to his pursuit gained great fortune, returned
to his native city to establish this eXquisitely
beautiful drug emporium, where there would be
kept an illimitable supply of that wonderful
preparation which has brought health and
strength to thousands of repining mortals, and
which raised its compounder to lame and athu-
ence. The store which was opened last night
merits the more dignihed title of drug palace,
for it presents to the eye all that Is splendid
and charming in Oriental decorations. In It's
arrangement and construction there was lavish
expenditure in keeping with the wealth aud the
generosity of the successful Doctor. Tue floor
is of polished marble, tesselated. Upon the
east side of the room extends counter OF the
purest Italian marble, beautifully carved, upon
which rest cases of heavy French-plate glass,
mounted with silver. The ceiling and walls are
frescoed in the highest style of the decorative
art, the tints being delicate and chaste. Against
the eastern wall we have the cases. arranged
elegantly and backed with mirrors which double
she proportions OF the room TO the eye. In
these cases we have an almost illimitable array
OF phials, Jars, and kindred receptacles for the
| drugs which are to carry ''healing on their
wings" At intervals in this case there
! are alcoves filed with beautiful Grecian
and Etruscan vases, from which steal the most
refreshing perfumes. On the opposite side, and
| between the heavy plate-glass windows which
| open into the hallway of the Continental are
| other cases, whose matchless appearance chains
| the eye with admiration. Surmounting these
are alcoves filled with rare gems of art. Scat
tered about are graceful bronze statuettes, which
enhance the rich appearance of this modern
palace. Depending from the ceiling are four
glttering chandeliers, each adorned with glass
pestle and mortar, and each arranged for ten
| Jets. In the rear of the store are two richly
furnished private offices, and to the left of the
entrance door on Chestnut street soda foun
tain, octagonal in form, each side
faced with a polished slab OF Tennessee
marble. The prominent cOlors which strike tn,
eye are French purple, lavender, and darl
shaded red and gilt. The tout ensemble Is o
such remarkable richness that the lo0ker-ol
cannot repress an exclamation of surprise an'
| admiration, the ornaments are so profuse an

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
sRlp Van Wrinkle, at the Museum

rival to Mr.. Jefferson in his most popular
role of "Trip Van W1nkle" has appeared in the
person of Mr.. Robert McWade, young actor
who has been performing at the Museum, Ninth
and Arch streets, during the present week, with
considerable success. The play in which Mr.
McWade appears is announced as IAN entirely
new adaptation" of Irving's story, but it is
painfully apparent that the author has received
more inspiration from Boucicault than he has
from Irving, and as Mr.. McWade has copied
some of his best stage-business from Jefferson,
so has the concocter of this 'new version" ap-
propriated the situations of the play which the
acting of Mr.. Jefferson has made famous. Even
the miserable rabbit story which spoils one of
the best scenes in Beucicaults play we fad re
produced in all its essential features with
a squirrel for the hero. This is not what we
have a right to expect in a play that lays claim
to originality, ana the piece is especially open
to criticism inasmuch as Boucicault, so far from
improving on Irving, has oblterated all the finer
characteristics of the story, which in the hands
of a man of the slightest poetical feeling might
be turned into a very beautiful little drama
which would not depend entirely for success on
the genius Of a single actor. Taking Mr.. Nc
Wade's play upon its individual merits, it is In
some respects an improvement upon the better
known piece and the denouement when Rip
returns 10 find his wife dead and his daughter
involved in difficulties from which it is 10 his
power 10 rescue her. is especially much happier
The worst fault of the play ists excessive length
The dramatic situations are none of them OF g
very pronounced character, and the low con-
versatonal tone in which the dialogue is Goa
Quoted has tendency to become monotonoul
after there has been more than a couple of hours
of it. If some of the verbiage could be elimi
mated, and the play thereby cut down about one
third, it would be vastly improved.
Mr.. McWade's "Trip Van Winkle' is a tolera
bly, close copy of Mr.. Jeffersons performance
and in the last act, where Grip" appears as al
old man, it will compare not unfavorably Will
its original. In the early scenes, Mr.. McWade

will doub tless enable him to achieve an excel
lent reputation In time, misses almost entirely
the combined humorl and pathos that make Mr..
Jefferson's rip" SO delightful. The perform
ance is so curiously like Mr.. Jeffersou's in very
many particulars, that 1t is an excellent illus
tration of the power of genius to transform the
commonplace into something worthy of admira-
tion. Mr.. McWade can copy Jeffersons "busi-
ness, his costume, his conversational tone, and
his various tricks of voice and manner, but he
cannot initiate the subtle charm that pervades
his Grip" and elevates it to a high position as
a work of srt, for this belongs to the indivi-
duality of the artist and is beyond imitation,
