ably prove fatal. Murphy was attorney for

as a former convict and thief. The latter, on

of warning. Murphy fell, his blood squirting

In Washington there are large number OF
persons to whom work is not so much an OBJ
ject as good salary. On account of the good
pay and easy work Of the government en-
ployes, situations in the Washington depart
ments are eagerly sought after Being desti-
tutc of political or social influence, some of
the persons in quest of such agreeable posi-
tons become rather profitable patrons of the
advertising columns of the newspapers, ana
offer all sorts of inducements TO anybody who
will procure them jobs i'll any of the govern
mont bureaus. A Washington paper of re-
cent day contains a large number of advertise
ments illustrating the eagerness of these per-
sons to serve the country on profitable terms.

mcnts for a government clerkship. "A lady

pay to any one who will get it for him. The
paper referred to contains many more adyer-
tisements of the same character, but these are
fair example of the lot Perhaps Mr.. Hub

mates They are altogether more profitable
than the clerks from whom he EFFORTS bare

The Miln-Burieign 60. In Othelio,

The Min Burleigh Go. In Otheiio'
The Min Burleigh Dramatic Co. were
greeted by large audience on last We'd
nesday evening, which included large
proportion of the most intelligent people
of the city and large number from neigh
boring villages.
The piece was "O,hello," with Min as
Iago and Burlelgh as Othello. We must
admit we anticipated little, True, we got
little, yet more than we expected. 1t is,
in fact, SIMPLY an impossibility for anna.
tours to portray such magnificent creations
as Iago and Othelio Certainly these gen
tlemen cannot. Their performance was
very good one for amateurs, but nothing
more than amateurs work.
Min IS outrageously stagey-acts like a
man jointed by wires, like toy; reads
fairly well generally, but IN an absurdly
STACEY voice; and soliloquiscs like man
giving an alarm of fire from the top of
ten story building, and exits IN true Buila'
10 Bill style, with "whoopla" to the gall
lery. Indeed, Iago becomes in his hands
little more than the usual dime.novel melo-
drama type of the villain, enlivened with
considerable comedy business, quite unex'
pected to most people, There is no delicate
tracing of the "most artful villain ever
portrayed" as Iago Is called by Schlegel,
There Is nothing hateful about the man
as there should be. Rather, did not the
lines show HIM a villain, all blackness
within, combined with consummate skill
in Discrimination, Iago, according to Min,
would be quite an endurable man. The
impersopatiOn Is failure; and yet we be.
lieve Min will one day become great
actor.
BurleIgh's Othello is more endurable,
perhaps; yet there IS nothing to it. The
grandeur OF the part never appears. The
tear-wipe Is In frequent use-by the actor,
but the audience (on the lower floor SIT un.
moved. Hispassion is lrritability, and his
agony distressing as the fumes Of a sour
stomach are distressing. All the great OPP.
portunIties are lost; and after he smothers
Qesdenlona he flats out completely, and the
subsequent events effect him as though an
ticipated and come as matter of course
just to let tine curtain down easy.
Neither of them shows any reserve pow.
er. and no versatility. After one ACT, one
knows Just how each scene will be acted
and with what emphasis and infection the
lines will be spoken.
This evening is "Mrs. Partlngton," of
which mention has been made heretofore.
1t is very funny comedy founded on
Shellaber's sayings of the famous old lady,
and will be presented by what is generally
spoken of as first class company.
On next Monday night John Whitley s
Dramatic Company begin weeks engage
ment, opening with "Jane Eyre" The
star is Ida Lewis, of whom many pretty
things are said 1t is conceded this is the
best company Mr. Whltclcy eyer brought
here, and will give series OF standard
plays, with a change of bill nightly.

Local Option VS.. prohibition.

We have all along insisted that temper.
for reform through prohibition spectacles,
were really proceeding IN manner to
overturn The wise temperance laws we now
have IN Illinois and to open up the way for
that impractical condition of things under
prohibition that does not and cannot pro.
hibt This is demonstrated by the history
of Maine and all other states that have tried
the experiment. In further proof of this
we quote from exGov. Robinson, Of Kan
letter on the result Of the prohibition law
in that state, says:
Under our local option law Kansas was,
| believe, the most temperate state III the
union. | did not meet a drunken person
about Lawrence once year; but all is now
changed. Before, no man could get Ii
cense without giving heavy bond, condi-
toned that he would not sell to a minor,
nor to drunken person, nor on Sundays,
holidays and election days; also that he
was liable for all damage his liquor might
do or that the men or women under It's in
fiuence might do. Hence no irresponsible
character could obtain license, and the
saloons were usually as orderly as other
business houses. Now it is the lrresponsi
BILE, characterless scamp that runs the sa-
loon, and as he violates the law no more
by selling to all persons at ali times than
by selling 1t to respectable people for ned.
ical or other proper purposes, there Is no
restraint whatever. If one town can be
found with population of 1000 inhabi-
tants where liquor cannot be Illegally pur
chased have been mlsinfOrmed."

where no one ever lands He then takes them,

Next morning they start for the custom
house again, and find it is only a short walk.
If Reade had consulted a map of New York,
or questioned some New Yorker about the
matter he could have learned that the dis

her way to the custom house, To her sur
prise it was very near" This ia laughable to
a New Yorker, who knows what trudge
from Harlem to the Battery is. The Harpers,
Who pubIish the story, would probably have
corrected the blunder if they had dared 10.
But Reade would never stand that. II he
wrote that Andrew jackson was still president

Andrew Jackson was dead, he would insist
on the thing being printed just as he
