The Sea- SON mt Booths.

Old theatre-goers will be gratified on read
ing our report of chat with the present
manager of Booths Theatre to learn that
the Legitimate drama is again to be pre-
sented upon the boards which il other days
have been peculiarly devoted to it. 1t is of
course impossible to estimate in advance
the value of Mr.. Wills drama of 'Jane
Shore" but the material is SO abundant
and of such peculiar dramatic excellence
make an interesting play from it,
while tho success of the old piece of
tho same name has demonstrated that what
ever of success depends upon sympathy
for some of the characters can be counted
upon in advance. New York will be glad,
too, to see as the heroine of the play an
American actress who with many American
women upon the lyric stage, have demon
strated that ii is not necessary to be of for
eign birth in order to be great. The drama
Of Henry WILL, which is to succeed Jane
Shore" is not the greatest Of Shakespeare's
plays, but 1t offers that opportunity for n
blending ofthe dramatic and the spectacular
which enables manager to draw his audience
from diverse classes of the people. Or the
house itself, with its magnificent stage, fine
appointments, accessible location and hon
orable dramatic record, no one needs to be
reminded but it is nevertheless very pleas
ing to realize that building upon which
such afrec:ionate, intelligent attention was
lavished in its inception, erection and dur
ing most Of its subsequent history, is to
open its doors anew with attractions of an
order to which the better class Of theatre
roers are never Indifferent.

Another Mimi Disaster.

The colliery explosion at Pittston yester-
day seems, like all that have preceded it, to
have resulted from carelessness or negli-
gence Of duty. The present Mine veptila-
ton law of Pennsylvania is very explicit
and enables those whose legal protectors are
killed by such explosions to obtain ver-
diets Of homicide against the guilty parties
if any neglect or infraction of the law
can be proved. In this Pittston case,
which caused the death of one man and the
possible decease Of others who were severely
injured, it is asserted that the ''fre boss,
whom the law enjoins to expel 'choke
damp" and other poisonous gases, or to warn
the workmen of their danger, had not been
in the mine since evening, whereas the'ex-
plosion took place about or before daylight.
1t is to be hoped that determined effort
will be made in this case to fix respon-
sibility under the law and that the
person found guilty will be made an
effective example to similar evil-doers.
There is a general impression that mine
owners and employees have enough regard
for their property and lives to take all
necessary precautions against the damage
to prpperty and person which is always oc-
casianadsg by explosions, but experience
teaches that the amount of coal taken out
and the price paid for the labor which pro-
duces it fills the minds of the responsible
parties to the exclusion of matters which
seem less important because not so con-
stantly brought before them. Nothing but
severe laws, executed to the extreme letter,
con bring these people to their senses and
keep them there. ses' wsfr

DURING THE PAST WEEK the condition of n
large number of the streets the horrible filth
OF which was specifically pointed out in our col
uulns, has been improved, and the city is whole
somer and purer to-day than it has been in
years. Bot a great deal remains to be done.
Many avenues and streets are still vile and poi
sonous, particularly in the tenement and poorer
sections which are the very places that should
receive the most care. II is TO be hoped these
streets will be attended to at once. Those who
have followed our reports of tho manner in
which the work of cleaning, or rather of not
cleaning the streets, is conducted must be con-
vinced if they were not before, that tho whole
system is as bad as it could be. The amount
appropriated IL far larger than wouldbe required
TO do the work under anything like proper
system and q capable administration.
