This great spectacular and romantic
melo.drama, that attracted crowded houses
on its production hore last season, will be
tho attraction at Albaugh's Grand Opera
House for tho week commencing Monday
next, March 90. 1t has five acts, seventeen
scenes and thirty weight people in tho cast.
1t is tho production of George Il. Sims,
author of "The Lights o. London, and
its long run both in England and this coun-
try is supposed TO be because it possesses all
the elements of popularity, plenty of move
ment, clean plot, good acting, variety of de.
tail and magnificent scenery. We quote
the following from the Brooklyn Eagle
about the performance of "Thc Romany
Rye" in that city last week "a house
crowded in every part, abounding euthu-
siasm, floral tributes In plenty, expressions
of delight and satisfaction on every side
these were the circumstances attending
the representation of The Romauy Rye
at Haverly's Theatre last night. The ab-
soTbing interest of its story, the thrilling
intensity of its situations, the elaborate
ness and elegance of its scenic appoint
ments and the excellence of its presenta-
tion cannot be disputed, and crowded
houses may be looked for at every per-
fOrmancev

Mra. Bayard is somewhat Of an invalid,
but has the assistance of two daughters
who have enjoyed ample social opportuni-
ties. Miss Bayard is an accomplished horse
woman and Is at her best in the society
which goes in for mild athletic sports. Mrs.
Endicott is pleasant, faced elderly matron,
who has already shown wonderful in-
terest in meeting people. She has three
daughters who will assist her in her social
affairs. Mrs. Manning is bride, and that
means lots of style and good clothes. 'Sho
is quite handsome woman, of charming
manner, and is bound to make a favorable
impression. Mrs. Villas is equally fortu-
nate in this regard aud had chance to
meet most of the last dynasty previous to
its close at an afternoon tea Mrs. Letter
gave in her honor. Messrs Garland and
Lamar are widowers, and are not likely to
contribute to the round of gaYety. Mrs.
Letter, Mrs. Laughton, Mrs. Yulee and
Mrs. Niles are apt to lead socially in private
life during this Administration. All are
well fitted for the duties and are, further
more, widely acquainted and fond of ele-
CANT society.-Er.

The New York papers differ in regard to
Sonnenthals merits as portrayer Of
Hamlet. The Times condemns him in fol-
lowing words During the past 20 years
no performer of repute, whether from
abroad or OF merely local celebrity, has
failed as signally as Herr Sonnenthal to
stamp his conception and delineation Of
Hamlet with some mark of originality
elaborateness or unusual intellectual, emo
tional or physical power" The Herald praises
him as follows "rhe Viennese actor
achieved great and unquestioned success.
1t may be said, with little fear of CONTRA
dictioD, that Herr S0nnenthal has given us
what other celebrated actors have not as
rule chosen to do, the Hamlet as created by
Shakespeare, or as nearly that as it is pos
sible in this age"

The denial Of Postmaster Pearson of the
story published in the Star of yesterday is
comprehensive.
Certainly he is correct in denying that
Brady ever cashed any notes for him, or
ever wrote him upon any such subject, or
upon that of political assessments. Mr.
Pearson is entitled to the benefit of this
testimony.
So far as Brady knows, Mr.. Pearson never
made a political assessment 1t is not
always necessary to assess. The system of
voluntary contributions" when the ex-
ample Of contributing is set by the chief,
who possesses the power of dismissal, is
quite as effective in raising funds for politi-
cal purposes as any other.
Besides, it is an easy matter to authorize
the use of money before an election aud
paying it after the election. 1t is only
necessary to find some one to advance the
money.
That Mr.. Pearson ever did this The
CRITIC does not know. That it was done
by his illustrious predecessor, The CRITIC
does know. That Mr.. Pearson was any less
partisan during the ascendency of his
party than was Mr.. James, THE Critic,
in justice to him, cannot believe. But he
was undoubtedly great deal slyer.
Mr.. Pearson is a good postmaster; but II
in the great Democratic party of New York
there Is no one capable of making an
equally good one, the people have been
grossly deceived.

Tho Inconvenience OF BEING In Con-
lelnDt of COurf.

Being in contempt of court has its incon-
veniences, as Mr.. Meloy has doubtless dis
covered ere this. At the time of the On
counter between him and Mr.. Fendall,
before Judge Hagner, in tho Equity Court,
the Judge imposed fine of $l0O on each.
Mr.. Fendell paid it promptly, but Mr.. Me-
10y asked time of the Marshal, stating that
he desired to sec the Judge with view
probably of having it reduced or remitted.
Not coming up with the money, the Mar
shal inquired of the Judge as to what
should be done, and was informed that no
steps need be taken for the present. The
same day Mr.. Meloy went into the Equity
Court with some papers to file. The Judge
inquired about the fine, and Mr.. Meloy
said 1t had not been paid. The Judge then
declined TO permit the filing of the papers
in his court, and Mr.. Meloy took them and
left tho rOon
