WEDNESDAY EVENING, NAY %, 1888

IT is the talk among club men in
New York that somebody has slapped
Freddie Gebhardt's face and the
rumor is made the basis Of long special
dispatches to the outside world. Il
this human poodle could be arrested
as a vagraat and put to work as an ex
ample it would be worth publishing,
but the spaN devoted to him by the
press is really disgusting and shame
i1l. The press let's itself down to q
very low standard by bestOwing 50
much notice,upon this young upstartr
and it gives him the privilege to sag
very loitily that he does not care what
the press says about him, whether it
abuses or praises No wonder that
people sheer at the papers with
out pausing to discriminate be-
tween the few comparatively decent
and good, as contrasted with the many
that are positively sloppy and immoral
in tendency. Talk about the press
being great educatorl So it is, but
often it is an educator worse than
none at all. It depends entirely upon
the tone and general teachings of the
paper placed 10 the hands Of boys and
girls and grown up people, whether
its influence promotes the welfare Of
society, or poisons the very fountains
of truth and virtue. Much that is
spread before the public eye daily is
most pernieious and degrading in its
tendency. Some of our big dailies
that report sermons and are delivered
of long winded hypocritical editorials
now aud then on education, NOR.
ality and temperance, are not a
whit better 10 the long run in their
news columns than the Police Gazette
and papers Of that type, deemed inns
moral publications. Some editors
seem to have a nose for nasti-
ness and TO give preference in
their selection Of matter to the vilest
scandals that debauch society and
break up families. The Northern
pressis particularly given to this, and
with the most of them there is no
crime or scandal too foul to be de-
scribed 10 glowing language. People
who have the control Of children,
whether as parents, teachers or guar
dams. should exercise the utmost care
in the selection of papers for their
use.

PLAYING THE DUOEs,
How the Gilded Youth Of New

lions,

A New York letter says: Speaking
of dudes (perhaps so much has been
said about them that it is an ohense
to speak Of them at alb, curious
and strenuous effort is being made
70 draw them to the Casino. This
is one of the hsndsomest theaters in
/ New York, and cost so much more
than the stockholders expected that
bankruptcy imrended before the doors
were opened. 1t is to be turneu into
q music and beer garden next month.
In the meantime the enterprise
has developed the queer feature men
toned. The dudes are habitual thes
alter goers, and they give their prefer
ence TO those performances In which
pretty girls figure. 1t is their highest
ambition to be acquaintances of these
fair ones. Failing in that they all the
same lounge in the Hobbies, and give
out the impression by their talk that
they have succeeded to their hearts
content. Well, the Casino folks have
set a lure for these fellows, putting
the fairest obtainable chorus on the
stage in comic opera, undressing them
to shameful degree, and, as a crown
ing allurement. have stripped pro
fessiOnal beauty iu the greatly ad
mired person of Lillian Russell. She
is the divinity before whom New
York dudedum bows in worship.
Here comes in the peculiarly of
the venture. When the New York
manager wishes to force the aspect OF
boom, he studies new ways Of dis
tributing free tickets In quarters that
will not be discovered by the dreaded
press 1t is asserted that those sent
out from the Casino were positively
conditioned. The recipients, mostly
clerks in stores and Offices, were
pledged to come in swallow tail coats.
Thus the house was fully provided at
the very outside with dudes.
II suppose almost all the talk about
stage door Fostering of chorus girls Is
6ction?P | said to John HawsOn, the
comedian OF the company.

1t was SO. A knot of dudes we're at

This seemed to be by appointment, as
rule, but there were unmistakable
indications Of fresh Irritation, Of hot
rivalry, aud, happily though rarely, Of
insulting audacity getting merited
snubbing. The beloved Lillian went
of in carriage with Solomons. the
composer Of several operas that have
been produced here. He is small,
