FoRD's OPERA HoUsE.-The first performance
OF the comedy OF THE Money Market last
night was very decided success IL Is a keF'
satire on the modern financter and politician,
relieved by SOME pleasant donl csuic scenes
and alternating touches of huinor and pathos.
which make up very enjoyable performance.
Mr.. NernonS sketch Of the hard, practical and
unscrupulous business man, Is a clear cut
stage portrait, and Is all the more enjoyable
because OF his English pronunciation, which
rather hetghtens the effect OF his extreme
coolness under trying circumstances. No less
perfect stage feature in its way IS Mr.. Hem
pies MARK Chinnery.r Misses Wood and
Vaders are both good in their roles, and the
rest OF the support is fair. Tue audience last
night gave unmistakable signs OF approval,
and the houses are likely to increase as the
merits OF the play become better known.
NATIONAL THEATER.-Mr. John T. Raymond
was greeted by his usual smiling audience last
evening. His new play, Fresh" was a hit.
1t is fun OF fun, spread around rather inge-
NOUS plot There Is a "harem" sc-ne, which is
particularly interesting. The corp my with

is new and striking.

A Railroad MI aaa.

Is MIR, Railroad COMMISSIONS Fink also
Damascus, been ilIumined with a new light ?
Is be suddenly to appear as a public benefac-
tor, bearing gifts and anxious only for the
general good /? Here he is stepping forward
nobly in the breecb, and declaring that he
will be the father Of the fatherless and hus-
band to the ~husbandless-or words to that
effect. The New York Legislature, seduced
by evil-minded and bribe-giving men, has sat
down upon the Railroad Commission bill, or
at least the chairman of the Railroad Com
mittee had reported adversely against that
measure, and its passage now is more doubt
full than ever. One Of the duties Of this
commission would be to prevent unjust dis
ordinations in freight on the railroads, and
to see that every shipper and every locality
was placed On q fair and equal footing. But
the Legislature, being too much under the
control Of the railroads, will not create this
commission at least the prospect that 1t will
create it is very slim. In this sad moment
Mr. Commissioner Fink comes to the rescue
of the people. "Be comforted, . he says, II
will not leave you d~esolate. | will do what
the Legislature, seduced and demoralized,
will not do. There shall be no more hateful
Determinations, rebates and private terms.
/ shall begin by reducing east-bound grain
freights 90 cents per 100. It my rates are
not strictly maintained by all the roads that
are in our pool, / shall know it; and [ shall
put down the rates still further until ! get
even with the fellows that promise one day
and break their compact the next Mr..
Fink declares that be means business, and
that this is not q mere expedient to throw
dust into the peoples eyes.

s'goes" Of brandy. he was good enough to
take Keene into custody as soon as he en-
erged from Californian society. From the
moment he bought his first dress coat for
Keene to the present, Sam Ward, in an unc-
tious, appopleclic sort Of way, has beenELis
social tutor. He selects Keene's wines, or
ders his clothes, oVerlooks his household,
prescribes the shapes Of his hats and shoes,
and informs him daily how he should dine it
he desires to keep up his show Of being q
gentleman. Ia .sPendennis," | think, you
will find a photograph Of Mr. Sam. Ward.
Personally, the olu chap is as arrogant as a
man well can be, and since he has accumu-
lated $500, 900 has found Delmonico's q good
deal too small for him.
4 sensational report ia the World, headed,
Another Lie Nailed" is the latest proclaim
alton Of Jay Gould, who, Of course, owns
and controls that once entertaining news
paper. Somebody, somewhere in the South
west, is supposed to have telegrapbed to the
Associated Press that Mr.. Gould was shot
and killed. The telegram was Immediately
attributed to the Wall street ''bears' as a
part Of q scheme to depress stocks. 1t turns
out, however, that nobody IN any newspaper
Office has seen the original telegram. Il had
been stopped on its way to New lore by
SOme ulknOWu power. lu6 suppooAt1ou ass
therefore, that no such telegram was ever
sent or received, and that MIR. Gould caused
the invention of the whole story to give color
to his clever theory that there is 9 bear syn
dictate to originate false news. Dexterous
hints are constantly thrown out by Gould's
sole surviving organ. the World, that the fin
ancial editors of the Herald, Tribune, Sun
and Graphic are mercenaries Of the bear
army. I style the World Gould's sole sur
vlving organ because the Tribune, fortunate
", has passed our Of his uncanny grip. u.
q. Mills, the California millionaire, as q we'd
ding present, turned over to Whitelaw Reid
what was actually Gould's interest in the
Tribune. The stock which enabled Gould to
work his sweet will in the columns OF the
Tribune was never registered in his own
name. 1t nominally belonged to WhitelaW
Reid, and had been pawned by him as the
| collateral of a note attached to it. Mills, as
8 gift to his prospective son-in-law. took up
the note and liberated the stock. Reld,s de.
light at being free from the fatal embrace OF
Gould is said by those who saw it TO have
been actually pathetic.

Elephants I'm q New Role.

An eminent chemist has been making an
analysis Of elephants milk supplied by the
female elephant Hebe, who has q calf sever
al months old. The globules Of cream are
wonderful in size and very transparent. La
flavor and odor it is superior to goats milk,
and equal to cows. The elephant calf,
weighing 213 pounds at its birth, gained 700
pounds in one year on this diet. Now that
it has been demonstrated that elephants are
productive in captivity, it would be some
thing Of an addition to American wealth ia
live stock to include the elephant. A good
sized herd would supply an ordinary city in
milk and do all the heavy pulling, unloading
and loading in business. The Parisians, too,
learned to eat elephant steak when they were
obliged, while the African hunters all declare
elephant meat very palatable.

Looks Lake q Big Thing.

Mr. FL. S. Saroni, Of St. Paul, Mimi.
claims to have solved the problem Of having
fire without smoke. He has on exhibition at
No. as South Franklin street, in this city, q
hydro-carbon furnace OF his invention which
he claims goes ahead of all previous smoke
furnaces. Not alone does it yield 8 fire of
intense heat, absolutely free from smoke, but
it does SO, he claims, at q much less cost than
that of wood or coal. The fuel used is q
combination Of petroleum, steam and atmos-
pheric air. The steam atomites the oil and
projects it ia the form Of spray into q per-
forated chamber, absorbing on It's way q
large amount of air, and at last issuing
through the perforations as 9 non-luminou
fame of intense heat. There is no danger Of
explosion, as for q fifty-horse power boiler
the size OF the only orifce through which it
can pass is but o~ne-sI1teenth OF an inch. The
furnace needs no draught, and hence has no
chimney. and its mechanism is very simple
and needs but little care. Mr.. Saroni has
made experiments with petroleum and other
oils for many years. He has q contract for
lighting the city of St. Paul with gasoline.
He has a patent gasoline lamp which gives q
light, claimed BY him to be equalt to the pow

and feet. He is also perfectlng q traction
