STATEMENT OF PERSONS WHO HAVE HEARD
TIE SOUNDS


The death leap of James Sylvester, at
the Thirty-fourth street Theatre. last
night, was terrible and shocking affair.
His final act on the trapeze was TO swing
with his might, and when he calculated
that he had force enough he turned SOM
ersault from the trapeze and caught rope
suspended from the ceiling in the back
part OF the auditorium. Under this rope
was stretched netting to shield the per-
former from injury in the event Of missing
the rope. and to protect the audience over
whom he takes the flying leap. Young
Sylvester came out as usual last night and
executed his various feats until the last
grand leap. Then he swung himself until
he thought that he had gathered sufficient
force, and let himself go. But he miscal.
culated, and swung too far. With tre-
mendous velocity he shot by the rope and
struck against the boxes with an appaIl.
ing thud. Thence he fell in heap to the
floor, striking on his head. The force of
the tall was 81 great AS to break the heavy

in the boxes tainted, and the spectators
were transfixed. All was confusion. Two
physicians were in the theatre, and atten-
danfs from behind the scenes hurried To
the assistance Of the injured man. Sylves.
ter was gently lifted and borne into =
room. There the physicians found him to
be alive, but without the least conscious
ness. A terrible cash on the back of his
head marked where he had struck. The
skull was beaten in and large clots OF
blood and pieces Of brain oozed out upon
the slightest pressure. The play was hur-
ried on but the house soon Ihinned out.
leaving the theatre empty. Sylvester lin.
Gered but Q short time. His breath be-
came shorter and shorter and soon he died.

Womxn's Rights.

To the Editor Of The American -
We have a few thoughts on 'Womans
rights" which we wish to communicate.
Remember Lots wife" .'All scripture
is given by inspiration OF God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for cor
rection, for instruction in righteousness. :"
Ii all scripture is given by inspiration of
God, then it is our duty to take the scrip
lures, as our guide in this life. After
Adam was created. the Lord God said 1T
is not good that man should be alone. |
will make him a help-meet for him." If
made first.
Then woman was made as help-meet,
not to usurp authority over the man Wives
submit yourselves unto your own husbands.
as unto the Lord" There may be GER
tain class of women, that claim that they
are not wives, nor never intend to be. That
doesn't give them the right to rule over
men. The aged women were instructed to
teach the young women to be discreet,
chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to
their own husbands, that the word of God
be not blasphemed. We read again Even
as Sarah Obeyed her husband, calling him
lord For her husband is the head
of the wife even as Christ is the head of
the church. If there is any family, that
can be called . pattern family, it is Abra-
hams. The Lord said about Abraham:
For I know him, that he will command
his children and his household after him.
Not that he may do it but that he scM do it.
When Abraham discovered the three men
that stood by him, he gave directions what
should be done, and not his wife After
they partook Of the refreshments that Abra-
ham prepared for them, they said unto him
where is Sarah, thy wife. And he said:
behold in the tent" These heavenly
messengers knew that that was the place
for her. After finding such . consistent
family, they felt safe in revealing to Abra-
ham, what they were about to do to Sodom.

The following letter TO Congression-
al iniationist hits the nail on the head:

President White Of Cornell says that,
as rule, the young women OF the Cniver-
sity average about ten per cent. better on
the examination papers than the Young
men; that they raise the average OF con-
science and manliness and decency more
than ten per cent; and that the young
women who took degree at the last com
mencement stood easily among the first
fifteen In class OF one hundred.
In recent lecture, Prof Walter II.
Smith OF Boston said that the want Of ac-
curacy in children should be no source OF
sorrow. He considered it more desirable
that they should be dull and stupid at first.
that their process Of education might be
more gradual and thorough. A rapid de-
velopinent should be checked rather than
encouraged. One plan of instruction
which was followed with success was
course OF study Of lines and forms, and re-
curing the pupils IN draw from descrip-
ton and dictatiOn. Simple forms and OBJ
jects should be selected first. and when
the pupils are sfiiciently advanced more
difficult and complex forms could be sub
sttuted, each step being SO gradual that
no perceptble improvement is shown a.
the time. but which. when looked upon
after"ard' will denote rapid progress.
This plan, he said insured perfect atten-
ton on the part OF the pupil, and develop
ell an absorbing interest in the work.

THE NEW SENATOR.
Many names have been mentioned in
connection with the new senatorshp as the
successor of Charles Sumner in the ma
tional Senate and probably the matter will
be decided tomorrow. 1t is thought by
many that Mr.. Dawes will be the success
full candidate although Mr.. Hoar would be
more acceptable to the majority Of our
people. especially the anti-Butlerites. He
is pre-eminently fitted for the station and
we hope he may be elected. The seat of
Sumner should not be had by the most
jealous seeker but by the one who is most
worthy to occupy it. We want one who is
in every way above political intrigue and
who looks more to the well-being of his
than to his own private interests
The Democrats had a caucus last Friday
evening and nominated Judge Curtis as .
