OUR CIVILIZATION.
Scene on the. Stage of a Public
Theatre in New York.
from the Sun Of Oct. 3I.1


They had a spectacle on the Bowery
stage last night. A play called "Life
in New York had been advertised for
the occasion of Billy" Edwards ben
eft, with sparring match between Ed.
wards and Fiddler" Neary. On
Thursday Neary said that he would
not attend, and "Patscy' Hogan was
substituted in his stead. The theatre
was packed from pit TO dome. On the
stage were Arthur Chambers, Mike
Coburn, Johnny Aarons, George Siler,
Bill Clark. Harry Hill and q crowd
Of others of the 'profession.
Edwards stepped to the
footlights and said that IS Neary was
not in the house he would put On the
gloves with Hogan. At this Neary
jumped from his seat in the gallery and
shouted that he was "on hand" and
was not afraid of Edwards.
'Come down, then" said Edwards,
'and let's see.
keary' descended to the stage amid a
deafening shout, and stripped for a
fight. Both men were excited, and it
was evident that they ''meant business.
The stage was surrounded by police.
men, and others were stationed in differ.
en parts of the house. A riot seemed
imminent. Old "Bill' Tovee stepped
forward and tried to pacisy the excited
crowd, and called for fair play. At
length the combatants stepped toward
the footlights and shook hands, smil-
ing grimly.
At the word "time'' the hcrculean
"Fiddler" aimed blow with fist like
4 sledse hammer. Edward stepped
aside and struck Neary fearful blow
on the side of the face. The men then
closed, and terrific round ended with
the fall Of both, with Edwards upper
most. Six rounds followed, both pugi-
lists fighting in earnest. The Fiddler"
finding his antagonist more skillful than
himself. stopped sparring after the sec
ond round, and sought only to throw
Edwards, depending upon his own SUI
perior physique. At length he grew
desperate and laid himself open to the
fierce assaults ofhis adversary. who kept
cool, waiting for his chance. Every
round ended with fall, and six times
out of the seven the Fiddler was
under
When the men fell they struggled
desperately, rolling over and over,
striking savagely, until the sports"
on the stage had to disengage them.
The contestants allowed each other
hardly any time, but almost as soon as
separated renewed the fight. The 'di-
vanishing crowd arose from their seats
en- masse and shouted themselves
hoarse Before the end of the fifth
round the "Fiddler's" face was batter
-ed almost past recognition, and the
bl0od, which flowed freely from his
nose, was spattered over Edwards. At
the end Of the seventh round Neary
"threw up the sponge, and the specta-
tors on the stage lifted Edwards to
their shoulders and carried him to the
flies" He was loudly called 70
For several minutes the uproar was so
great that he could not make himself
heard. When it ended he walked to
the front and, painting for breath, said:
"Gentlemen, hope this will be a les
son to Mr.. Fiddler Neary and the
next time he promises to put on the
gloves with me guess he will keep his
word"

the vide field OF the drama can offer,
have led in popularity. This Is not con-
elusive evidence OF an exalted popular
taste, but such an Inference is a fair one. The
failure OF the comedy theatre to retain hold
upon the public, in place Of opposing this infer
ence, confirms it; for, while its tone and dircc-
ton wore good md wise. it Was popular, and the
public rejected it only when 1t had nothing but
mediocrity to offer. It ia q healthy symptom
that the verdict Of tho people Of Chicago has
generally been against what is impure upon tho
stage, as the summary shows, and that the
so-called popular entertainments have so far
been hold above any suspicion Of immodesty. In
this and in ether respects, the annual summary
Of amusement matters is gratifying as it relates
to the past and encouraging as it points to the
future An opera-house and museum arc
within the possibilities of the next year, and the
experience Of the past indicates that Chicago
will hencoforth be second to no city in America
in its encouragement Of the dramatic and
musical arts.

JOHN BRIGHT On TEMPERANCE,

1T meeting held recently in London By the
friends Of temperance, John Bright gave express
sion to his viows On that important question
What ho said on that occasion deserves to be
spread abroad and to DO acted upon by all who
have the cause Of temperance really at heart.
It will boar repetition at every temperance
meeting that shall be held Lerenfter. The adyo-
Gates OF temperance in England. like some
advocates Of temperance in this country, want
men to be made yirtuous by an act of the Lcgis-
lature. Alr. Bright says that such legislation is
impossible in England; that if Parliament we're
to pass such laws as many of the friends
OF temperance asked for, it would have
to repeal them in week, and the
whole City OF London would be In a
state Of riot and instruction. He might
have added that, if such legislation could be
passed, it could not be enforced. 1t would fail
to accomplish what it Was intended to do. Bet
ter than all the legislation in the world is what
Mr. Bright recommends as means OF curing
intemperance. He would make drinking un-
fashionable. Ho would banish vino from every

Parliament, but by the force Of public opinion.
Let people of character, those who give tone to
society, ceaeo to purchase or use liquor Of any
kind. Make drunkcnnoss social crime. E1-
clnde the drinkcr from society. Mr. Bright him.
self has not bought or used wines or spirituous
liquors since 1889; and he says that, although
the step cost him some Inconvenience
he does not regret it, II all the
prominent men In England would do likewise
there would not bo much need for the inter-
ference of Parliament. The contagion OF their
example would soon spread among tho large por-
tion OF the population who take tho rules OF
their action from those above them.
II, added to this a knowledge Of tho real na-
ture and Of the effects Of alcohol on the human
system we're disseminated among the people,
it would be hard to estimate the num-
ber Of converts to total abstinence. II
the masses could bo made to realize that it ia
not by mere figure Of speech that alcohol is
made poison II they could be convinced that,

been discarded for others Of higher stand

Theodore Thomas has begun to reap the fruits
Of his early unappreciated labors among us and
the eleven concerts given by him in two visits to
the city were notable alike for the character OF
the selections and the appreciation with which
they we're received. The local societies, notably
the Apollo Club and Beethoven Society, have aid

themselves growing in strength and influence.
Opera, this season, has not been as plentiful as
it Vas last, but this is explained by the failure of
Maretzek to bring his companyt to Chicago, owing
to the financial disasters he encountered else
where. The deficiency Was partially supplied
by the amateur performances Of tho Liaderkranz
Society.

been equally successful, for tho managers eon

Dr. Chomet, q famous French physician, has
published work In which he seriously recon-
| mends tho curing Of diseases by music Instead
of drugs. In advocating his theory he cites the
| general effects Of music. Apollo, with his lyre,
it will be remembered, made even Argus forget
full. Orpheus enbdued savage beasts. Amphion
leveled the walls OF Thebes, and Gideon per
formed q like operation on the walls Of Jericho
| With his trumpet -blasts. Tyrtnns led IN army
into combat with his flute. During the First Re-
| public the Academy Of Music Of Paris se1e-
! naded tho elephants in the Geological Gardens,
aud caused tho pachyderms to languiah, to grow
excited, and to dance, at will. DR.. Chomet then
cites the cases Of fever patients who have been
| cured by the Introduction OF q small orchestra
into their chambers. Periel conquered des-
rerate case OF fever in young lady with i'd
die, and cured an old lady Of catalepsy with
half-a-dozen doses Of French horn. The &C.
centric French poet Bauda1aire, who dislik-
Cd children, WAS accustomed to make thom
presents OF large drums, knowing the
d;stracting effect thoy always have upon
the nerves OF their parents. George
Sand always cured the bluos with Meyer
boer's music. The Doctors regimen is very
simple QUE He advocates the use Of but four
instruments to cure MI the ills to which flesh is
heir: the flute for gentle aud melancholy pa
ticnts; the violin for the excitable; the clarinet
for the suffering; and the drum for general in
firmitiea.
This is novel idea. It has long been known
that people can be made sick with and sick Of
music. For instance, the heterogeneous Lucca
concerts during the past week have brought
good many people to the verge Of sickness.
Some amateur concerts hare distressing results
upon hygiene, and parlor concerts have been
known to bring on serious nervous disorders.
"Casta Diva" and the Lost, Prescribed" i" from
"Martha," have more than once induced fevers,
and some choirs in this city can bring on head
