ATTRACTING PUBLIC ATTENTION."

Mr.. Wales asserts that he voted for the me-
nagerie Job in order to attract puDhc a'tehtioi
to the question: and 1t will be admitted tnaU
he has met with striking success In stirring up
a general attention to Park matters. MI Crlm-
Minis adds that he too by his vote "intended to
call attention to the inelgibility OF the pro-
posed site, or, in other words, he voted lor the
Job in order to defeat it in some mysterious way
Mr.. OIiffe doesn't want to "press the matter
"until satisfied that the public approves OF the
"change," although he cOnfesses that ne con-
siders the people unreasonable for making such
n violent protest simply because the fairest por-
tion of the Park Is threatened with desolation
sbv this beastly intrusion. Mr.. Oliffe, 1t Will be
remembered in parenthesis, is the one person
out of the million or so on Manhattan lslanu
who is paid to stand between the parks ana
possible harm. His salaryis $4,000 per annum'
General Viele is so bewildered by the situation
that he has made no late statement OF his rea-
sons for voting, though he makes bitter COM
plants of misrepresentation and personal abuse
Butthen It makes little difference why nc and his
fellows voted for the outrage. The official fact
stands that they did vote for 1t, and the Wild
beasts have been ordered to emtgrate to the
" unimproved ground north of the Reservoir
No matter what Commissioners think or the
people think. The city through its chosen rep
resentativcs has ordered the menagerie set up
where it will destroy the idyllic beauty of the
loveiest vale In the Park. The resolution was
regularly and legally adopted, and until 1t Is
rcscindcd tho Park is menaced with destruc-
ton, and the people have no way to prevent It,
The city could not rcpudlate the Boards ac-
ton If bear-stablcs on General Nieles iPhlladel-
phia pattern were ordered tomorrow.
But consider the attitude of these officials
Here are men to whom is cOntided public
trust. They and they alone are empowered to
net in this matter for the city. And yet they
assert that they consider a vote of theirs merely
tcntativc,-an experiment to see how long the
pcoplc's forbcarance can be tIihcd with. a
resolution of the Park Board is not final, def
mite, effective. 1t is a fcclcr thrown ont to
ascertain how much the people are gong to
permit Now It Is the duty OF the press to
bcstir itself when an assault IS made against
the public interest But the press Is not re-
sponsible for the Park even If Commissioners
do vote simply 10 ascertain what the papers
will say. Tho responsibility rests with the
dcputcd authorities, and from this they cannot
escape They will be held responsible, too,
not for what they say to reporters, but for what
they do and undo in the sessions OF the Board

TBEATRE VICES.

The stage has its vices as well as the audience
One of the worst of them Is the slovenly enuncla-
ton Of many of the actors Of the present day.
They do not pronounce their words with anything
approaching distinctnessj they do not take the
trouble TO speak loud enough to make all the audi
ence hear. They mutter and humble and shuttle OH
their words as If they were in a hurry to get
through. Probably the combination" system,
with its demOralizing sameness is largely response
BILE for this though it Is sometimes seen among the
younger members Of established stock companies
1t is a refreshing contrast to this slipshod work,
when well-trained aotOr-very often not young
actor-appears, articulating his words distinctly
and speaking in O tone, whether low or loud, that
carries them to every part of the house. These care
less players ought to remember that they are ne
glectng detail which is one of the first requisites
of success.
Another little stage vice which seems to be In
vogue now is that of actors reappearing to ac-
knowledge applause after an exit during the prog
ress of scene. This completely destroys the lllu-
son and is in violation of all the rules of the art
Yet 1t has been seen during the past week in one Oh
the best of the few stock companies in New-fork.
As for the vices of audiences, their name is legion
The people who come in late, the people who talk
aloud the people who talk in a sibillant whisper
that is worse than talking aloud, the women who
wear big hats, the men who go out every time the
curtain drops climbing q whole row of persons
TO do IT, and come back with bar-rOOm OdOrs cling
ing about them the people who take seats they
are not entitled to- and cause confusion and noise
when they must be turned Out,-these are some Of
the criminal classes in theatre audience.

4 CHANCE FOR 4 CoURrMARTI4L.

Lieutenant Darlington in his official report
ocl,nowlcdgcs that the PrOtcus had most
favorable massage from Melville Bay to Little
TON Island. "Thc weather." he says, referring
to tbe day on which he passed the island, "was
- pcrfcct, calm. warm and delightful, and the
L" hills were green with the pretty Towering moss
/" of those regions with occasional patches ot
grass of luyurant growth. There was no lee

" with the aid of a very powerful telescope.
determined TO take advantage OF
the omen water and suspicious circumstances
"and push to the northward rs far as Cape Pres
scott" That was the situation on July p. On
the following day the PrOtcus was crushed IN
the ice. and as soon rs the relief party and the
crew could reach LittlctOn Island they started
southwark. Why did they not wait for the
Yantic? Lieutenant Darlington says that, judg-
ing from his own experience, he did not THINK
the ship could reach Littlcton Island. Yet the
Protcus within week had made Il remarkable
run from Cape York, and at Littleton Island no
ice was TO be seen from the masthead even with
n good telescope. If the weather was so delight
ful and the sea so open, and if the hills were so
pretty with Towering moss and luXuriant grass,
why ult NJ not 20 lnlO camp lpl N''h Va :"
fortnight and await the arrival of the iantic 7
Lieutenant Gurlington's own account of the con
dition of the weather and the ice shows that he
had every reason TO expect that Commander
Wildcs would reach IttlctOn Island. His own
clumsy explanations only serve 10 cntangle him.
The conduct of Lieutenant Darlington ought
to be made the subject of an official in
vestigaton He stands acquitted Of the
charge of disobcying certain orders which
il seems he never received, but his rcspon-
sbilty for the failure of the expedition ought to
be determined. Apparently he allowed the crew
of the Protcus to stampede his men. If the sail
ors persisted in going south, he ought To have
remained behind with Lieutenant COlwcll and
the soldiers, and awaited the arrival of the
Yantic. If he had done so the winter station
might have been opened and Lieutenant Grccly
and his men have found shelter where they
had right TO look for it. Lieutenant CARING
ton ought to be called to account before a court
martial As forthc future, the Navy Department
ought to be- allowed to make all the preparations
for the next expedition for the relief of Lieuten-
ant Greedy.

The Cathedral at Garden City will not be conse-
Grated before next spring. The building will be
completed next month, but the opening ceremonies
will be deferred to more convenient season. The
health Of DR.. Littlejohn, Bishop Of the Diocese OF
Long Island, will not permit him to undertake at
present the serious labors which the conservation
of this unique building would involve. 1t is proba-
bic, also that he will hesitate before accepting
from the Stewart estate a gift which will prove
most embarrassing to his diocese, if 1t be not ac-
companied by an adequate endowment fund. If
the details of the endowment be settled TO his salts
faction. the Cathedral will be consecrated early in
the spring.
