Prof. CromweIl,s Art Entertainment.


The very favorable impression made by Prof.
George r. Cromwell and his art entertainments
here, two years ago, justified the splendid audi
ence at the Grand last night, the occasion being
the opening of his re-engagement. 1t was not
the ordinary theatrical audience, but was COM
posed principally of devotes of art and literature
ministers, teachers and professional people gen
orally. The subject Of illustration was Rome
and the Vatican" and the views were strikingly
beautiful and accurate. Prof. Cromwell has
made decided Improvements in his apparatus
and the representations Of statuary and archi-
tectural designs are made to stand out so
boldly, that the real objects seem to be before
the audience. The most striking views were
those of st. Peters Church, exterior and inter
Tor, the Vatican, and the works of the old mas
tiers that are treasured in these places. The
descriptive lecture given by Mr.. Cromwell was
entertaining and instructive, and the effect was
heightened by incidental music. The subjects
of illustration during the remainder of the week
will be as follows: Tonight, 'The Homes Of
England" Tomorrow afternoon, "a Trip
Around the World" Tomorrow night, ITALY"
Thursday, Germany and the Rhine Land" "
Friday, Paris and the Louvre" Saturday af
ternoon, Switzerland" Saturday night, Lion
don, the Modern Babylon" Any of these enter
tainments will more than repay attendance, for
Professor Cromwell is cultured and wellin-
formed gentleman, and his views are marvels Of
artistic excellence.

Ticket Scalping.

The national ficket scalpers' or brokers' asso-
citation convenes at Louisville tomorrow, and
of the questions to be discussed, it is stated
is what can be done 10 offset the bitter attacks
upon the scaipers or brokers made y the Penn
sylvania railroad people wherever their lines
strike. The scalpeps look upon Philadelphia as
being the nest where their troubles originate. A
Philadelphia paper in commenting upon ticket
scalping says: From the standpoint of ticket
scalper the times appear to be out of joint Wig
orous efforts have been made to induce Ohio
and Maryland to follow the example of Penn
sylvania in prohibiting business which is sepa-
rated from robbery by very narrow line. Silly
attempts to awaken sympathy for the
scalpers have been made at different
times, but few, if any, well-informed
persons regard them as different from other
classes of criminals. Possibly there are scalpers
who only sell bona fide tickets, and possibly for
all we know, there may be receivers of stolen
goods who never commit robbery in their own
persons. Both, however, pursue occupations
congenial to the spirit of a swnder Tho vir-
tuous ticket scalper of whom we hear so much
and see so little, if he is not purely mythical
parsonage, must feel sorely grieved at the fla
grant dishonesty of his co-laborers. Any candid
man will admit that if no tickets were stolen no
passes forged, no old tickets fraudulently passed
off upon unsuspecting ignorance, the occupation
of the scalpers would be gone His raw materi-
al, if we may use the expression. generally
comes from faithess railway employees, and his
personal interests are promoted by perfdious

which asked an increased per cent. in the east
bound pool at St Louis behaved very hand
somey Vice-president Hopkins said that in
order that the matter of percentages should not
delay the completion Of the St Louis agreement,
he would withdraw the application of the Wabash
company for increased allotment in the
freight division until the pool was upon good
working basis Mr.. Skinner said that the Indian
apolis & St. Louis road would also withdraw
for the present its application for an increased
percentage in the live stock division. The sub
iect of the withdrawal of all line agencies at st.
Louis on the date on which the proposed agree
ment would take effect was discussed and the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved That it is the sense of this committee
that in order to the maintenance of rates from
St Louis and economy in the operation of the roads
the soliciting of shipments should be conducted only
by the initial roads who should distribute the tonnage
between their respective connections in fixed proper
lions, to be determined by agreement arbitration
That the different members of this committee take up
the question at with their connecting lines, with
the view of arriving at such agreement"

Colonel James Fl. Rice has returned from Hot
Springs. The only marked change in him is that
he has lost the old pirate-like tough air for
which he was held i'll such high esteem by the
Democratic party. He now chews icorice,
smokes cigarettes, and pronounces his RS with
modulated sound of W. Instead of calling up
the boys for "sour mash and gin, devilish quick,
he says: "Ah glad to see you; will you have a
dwink of soda" 1t may be stated in this con
necton that, in addition to the other reprehensi-
BILE ways into which he has fallen, Mr.. Rice has
begun the writing of book, which will be pub
lished sometime early next winter.

that the Wabash company will be placed in the
hands of temporary receiver until the plans
for placing the property on a solid basis are eff

mortgage bonds will be exchanged for first pre-

ports that the Missouri Pacific would be called
upon to take care of the Wabash debts.

Railroad Officials Must Learn To Be Honest
Before Pools VIII Stand.

A new and important plan affecting the trunk
lines is understood to be under consideration
The new PLAN it is stated involves the breaking
up of the present pool and the formation of a
new arrangement under which Mr.. Fink will
have charge of number if not all the trunk
lines. In other words, Mr.. Fink is to occupy a
position toward all the trunk lines similar to
that occupied by Mr.. Vanderbilt toward his own
roads. This revision of the pooling arrange
ment is undertaken in order that their Imperfect
tions might be removed and amended The re-
vision will be conducted by Mr., Fink subject to
the supervision of the presidents. The greater
part of the work will be done in separate con
ferences between the Commissioner and the pres
idents, and there may not, therefore, be any ne
cessity of formal meeting of presidents until
general approval is required to complete the un-
dertaking. 1t is useless, however to get up any
pooling arrangement until railroad officials learn
to be honest with each other Said the man
ager of an Indianapolis road, yesterday: Com
missioner Fink is authorized to make rules for
the railroads which the officers break when
ever they choose" Railroad wars are bad, doubt
less; but the patching up of truces which are so
frequently broke, the making Of formal agree
ments which are so soon violated and the estab-
lishment of rates which are so little regarded,
constitutes condition of petty hostility which,
if not as serious in its temporary consequences
as open war, is full more demoralizing"
