MANAGERS HAVE RIGHTS WHICH Actors
ARE BOUND TO REsPEOT.-In New York yes
terday the suit of Augustin Da!y, the manager
OF the Fifth Avenue Theater, to obtain an In
Junction against Miss Fanny Moraut to restrain
her from performing at the Union Square Thea
ter, was concluded by an order of the court
granting permanent Injunction. Miss MOrant
had contracted her services to Mr.. Daily for one
year, condition being that she was not to ap
pear at any other theater in the city. The in
junction was granted on the ground that mana
gers having large capital invested in the
business, must not be at the mercy of perform
ers but the latter must be held to their contracts
like other people.

Whitall, with squad of soldiers from the bar
day night. under instructions of United States
Marshal Torbitt, and arrested ive men for COM
plicity in the Trenton affair. They were brought
to Humboldt yesterday and put under guard at
the barracks. Two of the parties for whom
warrants had been issued came in yesterday
and gave themselves up, making seven under
arrest. They will be taken to Memphis under

A SwINDLKR IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS
Early in the summer a wealthy invalid niece of
Washington Irving going to Sehoharie met on
the journey an interesting young man, who
with pleasure and surprise discovered that he
was her cousin, since he was a nephew Of the
great author. The newly found relatives great
~ pleased with each other, together went on to
Schohar1e, where, stopping at the best hotel.
and driving out in the most stylish of toilets and
turDouts, they soon made themselves a reputs-
ton and name. He especially, for while niece
OF irving was well enough to know, immeasura-
6iy better was nephew, young, handsome and
highly eligible, as every one allowed he was
As the weeks passed by, at lawn parties and
germans he shOne the bright particular star
and never was he more conspicuous than at the
masquerade party where one lady fair placed
Oh his finger her ring. a diamond as clear as her
unsophisticated innocence, that she might know

felt when few days later young Irving had
departed, together with the ring and her watch
she had sent by him 10 be repaired, and numer-
Gus valuable souvenirs of others who had loved
not wisely but too well, leaving behind him only
the greatest possible quantity of debts. He was
torn from the lap of luxury at Saratoga, and
brought back, wheB investigat alton revealed that
his name was Cobern and his family and
nnances non est; so now the town authorities
are rather wondering what they shall do with
him, taking to themselves immense credit
meanwhile in being able to keep such a rascal
locked up.-WOrcesteT Spy.

YELLOW FEVER AND ELyCTRICITY.-A cor
respondent writing from Faye.te, Mississippi,
to the Scientific American, gives a curious sue
cessiOD of observed facts, which may lead 10 a
c'earer understanding OF the conditions under
which yellow fever is generated, and, as a con-
quence, to new methods of preventing or curing
the disease. He says that prior to the breaking
out of the fever and during the prevalence of
he epidemic, the rams are not accompanied by
lightning and thunder, which in other seasons
are common. There was only one peal OF thun-
der heard III this county between the middle OF
September and the latter part of October. In
of electricity could not be generated to perform
the simplest experiment with the electrical ap-
raratus, and shortly thereafter the yellow fe yer
broke out and ragged rapidly. The writer draws
the conclusions from these facts, tn at the preva-
lence of yellow fever is dependent upon the cleo
uical condition of the atmosphere, and suggests
that science may be made to supply the neces-
saIY conditions to public health,

THE LATEST and most plausible plan brought
forward for running street cars in cities with
out the aid OF horses Is foreign device, in
which the motive power used is an arrange
ment OF powerful springs, eDcased in cylinders
IKE watch springs, OF course on q very large
scale, and the application of which to the cars
now employed Is said to be extremely simple
and easy. These springs are wound up by small
stationary steam engines at each terminus OF
the line, and when 90 wound mp will propel the
cars, even with stoppages, for q longer distance
than any existing line of this kind extends. The
action is reversible, the application OF the brake
power in every respect satisfactory, and the
working Of the whole thing Is pronounced q
success

SPEAKER BLAINE at the recent commence
ment at Colby University, Maine, which has
bepefactiOns, said that Colby stands at the head
OF the colleges, while others are pretty much
given up to boobies and rich mems sons. at
Harvard or Yale Students annual expenses
are $1,000 or 1920. At the college in PennsyI-
vania where the speaker graduated he paid less
than $500 for his four years course. Henry
Winter Davis, the most accomplished parlia-
mentary orator OF the century, paid less than
Ss3 per year during his course in Western
college. Mr.. Blaine believed in fitting schools
as most valuable to the college, from the
2regarious tendency of classes. He wanted 70
send bis boys here, but they had got into fitting
schools whose classes went elsewhere, and he
felt constrained 10 yield tO their intense feeling
on the subject of going with their clas sm ates
Colby Is clearly the first college of Maine. He
was glad to see that the students were not
dawdlirg away a large part of their time in
solving the problem whether they should row
more or less than thirty-eight strokes to the

A CHILD MURDERED Or ABDUoTRD.-A
