Fun AND FROLIC.

A strong evidence of the decadence of
the modern drama as well as of the vitiated
dramatic taste of the public is the hip
and hurrah which the New York theater-
goers are making over HENRY +. DIXEY's
'Adonis." At the conclusion of the five
hundredth performance DIXEY was given
an ovation equal in enthusiasm to Boston's
demonstrations over JOHN l.. SULLIVAN.
The Philadelphia Times, which is one of
the most correct as it is the most conserva-
tive dramatic critic in the country, pro-
DOunces "Adonis" TO be nothing more
than a good variety show, made up
of songs, dances, local gags and
other assorted specialties. Mr.. DIXFY is
said to be clever burlesque actor. his abil-
tiles emitting him to no higher place in dra-
matte art than that usually attained by the
end man of good minstrel troupe The
meaning of this New York glorifcation is
that the minstrel and variety show is TO be
exalted. They are to be no longer enioyed
exclusively by that class of people who fire.
quent the cheap theater houses but the va
riety and minstrel performances of the fu-
ture are to be enjoyed by the swell circles
who patroniZe the heightened dra-
matte temples. AS New York is
the seat of all dramatic inspira-
ton the country may look for
flood of variety entertainments. Like the
skating rink, the funny amusement craze
will be compelled to have its run, and in
the meanwhile the old-time drama will have
to take back seat. After all it is not so
much matter of surprise that this class of
theatrical performances should become pop-
ular. People go to the theater for mental
relaxation. After Q day of hard work in
shop or counting-room, the theater-goer
seeks amusement in order to rest the tired
brain. There is nothing so restful as a
good laugh. That which excites the risibil-
tiles creates cheerfulness. While i'm one
sense it is letting down of our dramatic
taste, in another sense it is the means of
affording the public a greater benefit. The
study of high art is a pleasant occupation
for those who have the time TO devote to it.
But for the great mass of people who
toll day in and day out, that form of public
amusement which affords fun and jollity is
a more enjoyable relaxation. They prefer
to laugh and grow fat rather to be art
students and grow lean.

A Now Office Createh.

The latest acquisition to the Manitoba
company's corps of officials is a second vice
president in the person of Ii. d. MinOt,
who has taken an Office in the Manitoba
building at ST. Paul. When the Office of
second vice president Of this road was crea-
ted is mystery in railroad circles. At the
last annual meeting, July l, there was no
such Office and none such has been heard of
until Mr.. MinOt came to st. Paul. He is
from Boston and is a director of the Bur-

mated that there is more truth in the re-
cent reports that the Manitoba and Burling-

CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-There was no change
in the passenger situation, East-bound, to-
day. The market has been in a demoralized
condition for weeks, and still remains so
with every indication of going from
bad to worse. The Baltimore IL
Ohio is not the only disturbing
factor. nor is it solely responsible for the
trouble. The Chicago Il Grand Trunk is
selling secOnd-claSs tickets with frst-elass
privileges; the Michigan Central has stocked
up the brokers at Detroit with blocks of
local tickets, and shading Buffalo and De-
troit rates; Lake Shore through tickets are
TO be had at a discount; the Niagara Falls
short line is charged up with so many ir-
regulaTities that it is task to keep an ac-
curate account Of them, and the Baltimore
IL Ohio has opened q ticket Office in con-
nectiOn with the Wabash. contrary to the
agreement The general passenger agents
were rather uneasy over the prospect, and
all of them were inclined to think that q
season Of disturbance was imminent. If
the Baltimore il Ohio is determined upon a
light 1t Is for the purpose of forcing its rec
ognitOn as factor I'm New York business,
and in doing this efforts are not directed
against the Pennsylvania alone. but toward
all the lines parties to the contract, which
includes all roads exceptits own. Just how
much it can demOraliZe New York traffic
remains TO be seen.
wEST-BOUND PASSENGER RATES.
New YORK, Jan. 13.-The situation in
regard to the cut in west-bOund passenger
rates is unchanged. The Baltimore & Ohio
is carrying a large number of passengers,
but it is expected that it will soon eXper-
fence considerable difficulty in procuring
Pennsylvania tickets for its patrons be
tween this city and Baltimore. Already
the ticket agents on that line have received
orders not to sell more than one ticket at a
time to any person. The passenger agents
OF the several lines are looking forward
with considerable interest to the meeting
which will be held at Commissioners Fink's
office Tomorrow.

AN Observation-Disclosures GRIP.

The grip Of an office-holder is sometimes
a hard thing to relax. A fOrcible illustra-
ton of this was given by a Kentucky post
master who had received his commission
during the ARTHUR administration, and
seems to have been imbued with the idea
that he had life tenure on the Office. When
his successor was appointed by the CLEvE-
LAND administration the removed official
refused to recognize the right of another
administration to tamper with his Office,
and refused to surrender. lie at once pro-
ceeded to fortify his Office just as some old
barOnial lord would his castle against
a robber chieftain. 1t was not until after
two w eeks' siege that the United States
marshal and his deputies succeeded in dis
lodging the incumbent. After he reached
Louisville and was lodged in jail he sent
out flag of truce TO the new appOintee,
proposing TO entertain terms Of capitulation.
When restless aspirants begin 20 under
stand what difficulties the president has to
encounter in making removals, they will be
better recOnciled TO the delay. At the rate
of time It has taken TO dislOdge one post
master in Kentucky, it would take the adj
ministration about three centuries to clean
out the whole rOOst.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The Middle and
Western states classification committee,
Paul Morton chairman, was in session here
to-day. There was marked contrast be-
tween this and the previous meeting, in the
fact that the members were not over
whelmed with noisy delegations from all
parts OF the Western country, battling for
or against the abolition of carload rates.
That question having been quietly laid at
rest, the committee had time to devote it
self to classification matters. Nothing was
done at the morning session
owing to the nOnarrival of the Colorado and
Nebraska members, snOw-bOund trains
being responsible for the delay; but they
were all present in the afternoon. The list
was the subject of reviSions and various ar
ticles were reclaSSifed, none of the changes
being Of any particular importance. The
