some other theatre either empty or filed with
playgoers. bursts into fame at single flash.
One has only to look back few years to hnd
grounds for scepticism respecting radical re-
form in theatre building. Late in 1872 MD
los Garden was burned to the ground IN the
course of single hour. On January L, lofo'
the Fifth Avenue Theatre was destroyed almost
rs rapidly. matinee performance had oareiy
closed and the scene shutters and painters were
still at work when flames were discovered IN
several places at once. So rapid was the pro,
gress OF the fire that the workinen were torceu
to make their escape by the roof. Inc whoie
theatre seemed to burst into flame within Few
minutes, and the firemen could do nothing Dut
protect the adjoining property. The destruc-
ton of these two theatres ought to have maze
some impression ON the minds of theatre archl-
tects and practical managers. But that was not
the fact. In May, 1878, ground was broken Tor
new theatre modelled in all essential respects
after those which had been burned few
months before. 1t was the Park Theatre The
warning was not needed nine years ago. 1t Is
not likely to be needed now.
Yet IL any DullulnR IN tuo WOIlu shouiu w
made flre-proof, it is theatre. Ii any building
should be constructed with special reference TO
slow rather than rapid combustion, 1t is theatre
For it is not enough that stairways should be
straghtened, Hobbies widened, exits multiplied
and precautions taken for extinguishlng hres
and staying panics. In these respects some OF
our city theatres-Booth's and the Grand Opera
House especlally-are admirably adapted for
the safety of an audience. A theatre should
be made as nearly ire-proof as possible, or IN
any event brick, concrete and iron should. be
used wherever they can be made to serve the
purpose of wood and everything that can be
done to separate the stage from the auditorium
and to place inhammable tinder-toxes like the
scene lofts and carpenters and painters rooms
where they will be least dangerous should be
done. In Wallacli's Theatre the auditorium and
the stage are distinct buildings This is very
great reform In theatre architecture, and IN
other respects this is the safest theatre in New
York. But the public will not be permanently
treasured until theatres are made fire-prOot

OF the city to ask their assistance and moral sup
port aud he could not IND single one VINO htehd

II this piece of intelligence be correct the Judge

Captain Charles w. GODDARD who has been NOM
mated for Congress against Felix Campbell In the
WITH District, now represented by Archibald NJ
Bliss, is o staunch Republican, who has ever been
positive and independent in his views The district
was made Democratic largely through the exertlons
of Mr. Bliss who had been Republican down to
1873, and who was personally very popular. Ills
friends claim that he was defrauded out OF
denomination this year. and by means so base as TO
Justify his dcnunciations of the nominee of his
party. They think also that he would be justified
in running as an Independent Democrat as clearly
as John Kelly was justified in 1870, and they
prophesy that such course would bring the party
leaders who have betrayed Bliss to COM
prehension of his strength IN the district.
At any rate, his friends say that Campbell
Will not get their support, and this aud
other facts make it possible that Captain GODDARD
may redeem this district. Campbell docs not enjoy
the personal popularity of Bliss and cannot COM
nand any of the Republican vote which fell to the
latter. Nor will no get his party vote in full
while Captain GODDARD will be supported by every
Republican. Bliss carried the district in 1874 by
4 577 majority over Bennett, in 1878 by 4,27S over
Lyon. and in 1880 over Tallmadge by 5,416. Cap
tain GODDARD is far more popular man than any one
of these defeated candidates was, while his OPP
ponent Campbell, is weak in every respect. The
Republicans have, therefore, a fine opportunity to
gain that district whether Mr. Bliss runs as an in
dependent candidate not

If Mr.. Parnell is responsible for the writs of
eiectment that have been obtained against his
three tenants who are behind in their rent. the
sooner he retires TO his estate of AyOndale TO
MANAGE it personally the quieter time he will
have. Political life will not be pleasant for
him. His enemies would not ask for a better
proof OF hypocrisy, and even his friends
would have to admit the charge Of incOnsist-
ency. But probably some enemy hath done
this--an agent acting without orders perhaps.
The causes for thankfulness connected with
the destruction of the Park Theatre increase
with reflection. Some idea of what the loss
of life probably would have been if the fire had
broken out when the place was full of people
may be gained by considering what actually
did occur. There were possibly fifteen per-
sons in the building when the flames were dis
covered, and two of them are dead One man
received fatal injuries in jumping from a win
dow, aud the other was burned alive. APP
parently the numerous exits were not enough
TO save even fifteen people. 1t is urged
that, if all the employees had been in their
places when the lace curtains swung into the
gas Jet, the fire might have been checked.
The fearful rapidity with which the flames
filled the auditorium is sufficient reply to that
statement
The Italian authorities have no need to be
so terribly hurt about the election of Signor
Coccapieller. We suspect it is not so much
because he has been circus rider as because
he is Radical. Moreover the Government
has itself to thank for making him popular.
Siynor COccapieller was arrested for political
libel some time ago and the authorities were
foolish enough to keep him locked up for
long time without a trial Naturally he
became q martyr in the eyes of the people and
they have sent him to the Chamber of Dep
uties. Likely enough he is demagogue, but
this result serves the Government right. They
declare that the election of circus rider is a
disgrace to parliamentary institutions. Par
lamentary institutions can survive this il free
institutions can stand keeping an accused
man ia prison without trial.
The tragedy that has blighted the life and
home of Dr. E. G.. Seguin is too heart break
ing to permit of much comment. However. 1t
is perhaps proper to emphasize the fact that no
blame or responsibility can be attached to the
Door woman who destroyed herself and der

The below-stairs people are getting ready to come
up for their regular high jnks during the polit
cal vacation. 1t seems to be an understood thing
that the Republicans should take a vacation in the
middle of each Presidential term, and that hOster
and stable-bOy cOachman and fOOtman, cooks,
chambermads and walters should embrace that OPP
pOrtunity to have a good time and run the upper
part of the house. 1t has been so in greater
less degree for the past twenty years. In the off
year 1874 the kitchen folks got 80 much elated at
their high inks" that they hesitaed about giving
up possession at the end of the vacation. Since
then however, they have been more reasonable i'll
their behavior. Very few of them expect to retain
the of the house after the political vacation is
over. They hope to have good time for couple
of years, and make the most of their chance at
wne-cellar and larder; but when the folks come
home " they expect to tumble back to their places
as usual. Poor fellows It's about all the fun they
lave.
Light on the affairs of the Pine Ridge agency be-
gins to dawn. Private dispatches state that In
spector Pollock, who was sent 20 examine Dr.
McGlicuddy's management some time ago,
brought charges against him which rendered his
suspension necessary. Secretary Teller. who, 1t is
stated has warm personal liking for the agent,
was 10th to believe these charges and relnstated
him. Pollock persisted and McGilhcuddy offered
to resign but forced to rem ain until his official

New Jersey now possesses vitreous
boy, or rather boy who sheds glass
from different parts Of his anatomy.
DE lives at Passaic, and his name il
Rose, and at latest accounts was still
engaged in the business, much to the
marvel OF the public and the perplexity
Of physicians. Some four years ago
this young Rose, who was then a mere
bud Of six years growth, stepped his
right foot on pane Of glass and gashed
his big toe.
No glass was noticed in the injured
foot, although the wound was severe
and painful one. and no glass was
missed from the pane he stepped on,
nevertheless about a year afterward
he astonisAed his parents by shedding
piece Of window glass from the instep
OF his left foot. This was preceded
and accompanied by headaches and
other indispositions Day after day
other pieces followed, but without
suppuration. The family doctor was
sent for, but the production of glass
ceased on his arrival. He saw the
piece Of glass, but couldn't see
through it"
Time wore on until the 18th Of
March passed, when young Rose was
taken with a severe pain in his right
arm, near the wrist. A pimple an.
peared, which, upon being pressed,
produced a piece Of glass-not big
enough for show case or window,
but big enough to astonish even a
Jersey man. Again a doctor was
called, but by probing no more glass
was found. The next morning the
vitreous discharge was renewed; the
doctor was sent for when the how Of
glass ceased. With the doctors dc.
parture the tide set in again, and has
kept up to the latest dates.
The PARTICLES that have exuded vary
In size from a minute piece to those
that are an inch in length and half an
inch in width. Many physicians have
examined the case, and are now very
much puzzled and divided in their
opinions regarding it. Some think
the boy is shamming, and that he In
serts the small pieces in his flesh in
order to avoid going TO school, while
Others regard the case as a genuine
and marvellous phenomenon worthy Of
the State. One learned medical pun
dit from Trenton thinks the boy is
nothing but a fractured demijohn
clothed In flesh. 1t is more consistent
with reason and experience that
young Rose swallowed in his baby.
