Fishing with Popguns.

The invasion Of Staten Island by o band
Of registering Or oystering actors and their
armed friends on Sunday was on extraordi-
nary affair, and brought to timely end by
the courage Of constable and the decision
of justice who holds court in lager beer
saloon. They publish card which says
they went innocently fishing with popgun
on Sunday. A likely story, truly! We
hesitate to say what we really think Of it.
We hear nothing in their card Of the
''Fisherman's Chorus" from Masanyello,
which they sang at the second landing on
their arrival under the pretence Of giving a
sacred concert; they do not state that Mr..
Plympton threw number OF handsprings
before tho Reformed Dutch Church to
show how walking gentleman" enjoys
himself on Sunday; wo hear nothing Of Mr..
Beckett's double shuttle from the .Fcrty
Thieves" which he basely told rural
policeman was how David danced before
the Ark, and, therefore, q good Sab
bath practice; We do not learn that
George Holland asked the Baptist
congregation returning. from sermon on
hell the way to Singleton and then drove
them nearly crazy by pretending not to
catch what they were saying. All these
disappear and we are only told that
they went fishing with popgun
Let them tell that to the marines. They
doubtless told it to the Spartan Judge, who
keeps trap for such gunny fish, but he
would not believe them. We have
our opinion of the Judge and the
equally acute constable, but we
keep it to ourselves. They have an
idea on Staten Island that New Yorker
is good enough to rob, and, it is alleged,
they act on it. But be that rs it may, the
seven dramatic and literary desperadoes
who performed such reprehensible feats
near tho early home of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt had nothing
dealt out to them but the retributive justice
which they are familiar with in the third
nets of Boucicault's comedies. 1t has been
limited that all they sought was little adver-
tising. They are getting that, there
is no mistake. We are giving it
to them tor nothing We thoroughly
agree with the quotation from "Hamlet"
which the Spartan Judge addressed to the
literary Follin:-"You may play upon your
popgun, but you cannot play on me under
ten dollars" To this we may add that "a
Follin his money are soon parted" The
moral of this story is to fish with hook on
Sunday.

Before Erzeroum ana Around Pievns

Before Erxeroum ana Around Pievna.
The military situation in Armenia and
Bulgaria, so far rs the Russians are con-
forming the above head line. Two posi-
tions held by the Turks mark the real ad-
vance of the Russians into the Ottoman ter
ritory. The defeat of "Ghazi" Moukhtar at
Alaja Dagh made possible two operations
which the Russian commander in Armenia
has not been slow to undertake. These
are the investment Of Kars and the
advance on Erzeroum, which is the capital
of the province. After Moukhtars terrible
dcfeat he retreated rapidly to Kars, but,
feeling that he could do more to delay the
advance of tho enemy in the open field than
as the commander of closely besieged
fortress. he turned his face westward and
passed beyond the Soughanlu range into
the plain which extends between these
mountains and Erzeroum. Late advices
from the Turkish camp place it at Kuprokoi
and state that the Russians are only three
hours distant. They are, therefore, prac-
tically before Erzcroum in overwhelming
force.
At Plevna Ghazi Osman finds himself lit
orally in "tight place." His main line of
communication with Orchanie and Sofia,
the bases of Turkish supply, is now broken,
and instead of the expected and much
needed conveys OF provisions coming from
that direction Osman's scouts can only see
the Cossack lances and the guns of the
Russians in position. 1t is claimed that
the road to Widdin is still open and that
supplies can reach Plevna from that
place, but that is grave error. There
is no hope from the direction OF
Widdin for Ghazi Osman. Indeed, it
is not improbable that such IN "open''
road is only trap into which o commander
less wary than Osman might easily fall TO
oil intents and purposes the Russian lines
surround Plevna, and the Turks must either
fight their way out desperately or surrender.
It is probable that they will choose the
former alternative rather than suffer being
caught in tolls of their own creation. The
advance Of Zimmermann's corps in the
Dobrudscha, indicating as it does the
strength and confidence Of the Russians, is
o disaster to the Turks.
