The election for county officers and
Supreme Court judges begun at 8 o'clock

there has not been any disorder or dis
turbance.
But two persons, Frank Mathes and

their ticket is ahead, aud say that they
will win the day by a large and hand
some majority Information from the
country is that the Democratic tickeI
is far in the lead, and will come out tri.
umphant. While a great deal of inter
eat is manifested in the election, we arr
glad to know that so far there have beer
no personal difficulties. We sincerely
trust that there will not be a single dis
turbance. The majority OF the leading
business houses on Main and From
streets are closed, and the city presents
q holiday appearance. An impartia
view of the condition speaks well for tn

He was dragged away by the irrepressi-
BILE Raymond, and all ceremony was at
an end.
Mr.. Sothern spoke freely Of the failure
of The Crushed Tragedian and the sue.
ceas Of A Hornets Nest. 1t was in the
midst Of the prosperous run OF this latter
that he decided to take a holiday and a
run over to this country, simply because
be felt a desire to see his friends here
and to get away. It was not because o.
pique or any feeling Of dissatisfaction.
About the reception of The Crushed
Mr.. Sothern2'
Il will simply say that the overture,
which was conducted by an American
leader whom / had taken over, was
Kissed; that Mise Mortimer was Kissed
before she spoke a line, and that Mr..
George Holland was hissed from the

Fanny Davenport on English G
Tag.
New York Herald.l
Miss Fanny Davenport, who has lust
returned from London, was interviewed
yesterday by a Herald reporter about
her experiences abroad, which were un-
derstood to be far from pleasant. In the
course Of the interview Miss Davenport
told some queer things about the state
OF the Enhlish stage, aud confirmed the
reports that have already reached here
Of the renewal in London of the old pre-.
JUDGE that used to exist there against
American actors. This prejudice" she
said, would probably not affect such
artists as Mr.. Jefferson or Mr.. Booth.
but would ROW prove an almost iDsur-
mo0ntable barrier TO the occupation of
any American stock actor BY any Lon
don manager. The prejudice is due, l
think, to the fact that while our man
ayers import the best stock actors that
London can furnish we export only sec.
ond and even third class stock Of our
O~wn--actors who can scarce be said 10
hold established positions 10 our leading
New York theaters."
is London stock acting 50 superior
to that which obtains in our own thea.
ters7"
You cannot at all compare them"
replied Miss Davenport. 1T is to tame,
so excessively quiet as 10 give to an
American an idea Of histrionic %inanity.
They push this 80 far that even London
audiences begin to yawn and ask for a
little more vivacity, a little more life.
The great success of Charles Thorn in
London was due, / think, chiefly to the
earnest honesty of his passion, which
startled them at first and finally delighted
them"
DO their stage settings compare with
those given us at WsllAck's or the Union
Square, for instance2'
In that, too, comparison is difficult.
In stage setting, as in costuming, literal
correctness is the quality chiefly sought.
There is al absence Of idealization in
both which would make them hard to
American eyes. AS the purpose of my
quick visit was to see the manner in which
the play Olivia was mounted and dressed
before | produced it here, / paid special
attention to that Of course. | am GER
tain that a literal reproduction of the
scenery, dresses or even acting Of the
play as | saw it in Loadon would in New
York be considered tiresomely tame.

A sovereIrn nna a Prince.

DR.. Ruppauer, the well-known Ger.
man.American. and president of the
Goethe Club of New York, was the hero
Of an adventure in Paris recently that
attracted much attention from those who
Jaw it. He had hailed a cab, and as he
was about to step in he was surprised to
see another man entering ut the oppo.
site side. DR.. Ruppaner demanded of
the driver which of the two had hailed
him first, and the cooher decided in favor
Of the New Yorker. He then politely re.
quested the stranger to descend, but the
latter answered, Il am Prince -"
giving q known name. DIR. Ruppaner
replied: You are q prince, but | am a
sovereign-a citizen Of the United
States; and without much more ado he
gently took the prince by the collar of
his coat and seat of his pantsloons and
set him down quietly upon the sidewalk.
The prince went in search Of another
carriage, and the sovereign" rode of in
triumph.
