SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS IN New YORK
Some of the New York theatrical ma.
nagers are throwing of the restraints
OF the law respecting those enactments
prohibiting the performance of drama
tic amusements on Sunday. Max Stra.
kosch leads the van, and has already
obtained temporary Injunction
against the public authorities to pre-
vent their interference in the Sunday
concerts given by the opera troupe
under his direction. On last Sunday
"Ll Traviata" was given at the Grand
| Opera House, "BArbs Blue" OF the
Stadt (German) Theatre, and Buffalo
Bill aud his Indian allies made the
walls of the old Bowery Theatre ring
with hunting songs and war whoops.
The New York Eerul,i, in summing M
these vlolntions OF law, says:
| Sunday amrsements of harmless
und refined character are absolutely
necessary to the morality of great
c!ty. 1t is far better to spend Sunday
evening III theatre than in bar-
room, aud husbands would do we'll to
tnke their wives to the opera, instead
OF selhshly wasting their time and
money IL :ho low gin-shops which
abound in New York. We have seen
rs yet no evidence that dramatic and
musical performances on Sunday in
tcrfere with more serious devouons,
while we are quite sure that they ma
terially contribute to the sobriety aud
happiness OF the city
A woman claiming to be Belle Boyd
arrived in Atlanta and advertised that
she would lecture to the people of
that meek and lovely town. The At
lAnta Ne,cs said she was an impostor,
because the genuine Belle Boyd, with
all her faults and sins. and her devo-
tlon to the Confederacy, which cx-
piated many Of her shortcomings,
was buried on the far-off Pacific slope.
The Belle, so-called. armed herself
with couple of pistols and went for
the Ncrs man, who succeeded, how
ever, III preventing the infnriated wo-
man from doing any damage, and
placed her in the hands of the police.
Belle" was bailed out, and announced
that she would lecture in the Kimball
House ballroom last night. She
maintains that she is the genuine
Belle"
| Major Lewis Merrill declared, Just
before the election in Louisiana, that
II the Kellogg ticket should be elected,
no would ''g,ve the white people hell. "
Well, the Kellogg ticket has been de-
feated, aud the donation of hell conse.
quently postponed. We may rest as
sured. however, that Major Merrill
would not hive performed the work for
nothing, but would have demanded
and received good round sum for his
services. AS his bill in South Carolina
ran the State DIR. to Major Lewis
Merrill. to arresting 1000 Ku Klux. ut
$40 per X. X, $50, O,000," SO it would
run in Lonisiana-to giving the people
hell ut SO much per head, 40 many
thousand dollars. Thrifty ruf1ian, Mai
Merrill.
The Cabinet has discovered since the
occurrences of Tuesday" that only
ono of the seven members represents
Republican State. The fortunate
gentleman il the Secretary of War,
General B-iknap, of Iowa. Well,
there's good timber for Cabinet in
the "only oasis iu the desert South
Carolina. How would Tim. Hurley do
for Secretary of the Treasury and Joe
Crews for Secretary of State? We are
also authorized to state that Bowen
mud Whittemore can be induced to nc.
eept portfolios, and TINT the duartette
Is in favor OF II third term.
