Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb 27.-Theatrical circles in Paris
and here are stirred by an affair at the Theater
Francois, where the manager has secured q
tour years contract with Mademoiselle Dudley,
in consequence of which Got, Delaunay, Coque-
lin, Febvre, Warts, Mounet, Sully and Laroche
have all resigned their places on the board of
management They want Mademoiselle Weber,
young actress OF tragical gifts and striking
face, whose father was a communist shot be-
hind barricade. The charges against Mile
Dudley are that she has a Belgian accent, Is
out of touch with the public and the salary
paid her is too high. This is interesting 70
Americans, because CoQuelin declares that If
she stays he will retire from the Francois, make
q tour of the United States and then become
manager of the Vaudeville.
Mr.. Watts, the artist, has written to friends:
II intend all the work am doing now TO be all
that shall do in the future for this nation. It
will save me some trouble from some applica-
tiohs II you make this known. In fact l may
say that have retired from the profession and
no longer work as professional man."

The Presidents Godchild.

REPRESENTATIVE MAYBURY ACTS AS THE
PRESIDENTS PROXY AT A CHRISTENING.
A special dispatch from Detroit to the Phila-
deiphia Press says: A novel event occurred at
the German Lutheran church Friday AZ
ternoon. The President Of the United
States stood sponsor by proxy for the child
Of one of the humble families Of the con-
gregatiOn. The occasion was the outgroWth Of
the wish OF Carl DetloH to observe an old Ger.
man custom, that of doing special honor to the
twelfth successive male offspring in the same
family. The east side of the city has been
nightly interested in the affair, and since
everything has been done to please them it is
safe TO calculate that the cause Of democracy
church was packed. The Presidents repre-
sentative was Congressman Maybury, duly
appointed by letter from the White House.
Mr.. Detlon and the christening party were
very much In earnest, but by outsiders the
a1alr was humorousiy regarded. Congressman
Maybury must have enjoyed the novelty as
well as any one, excepting when young Grover
Cleveland put both little hands In his hair and
began TO yell and pull At the congressional
hirsute. A sermon In German was presched
by the Rev. Emil Danknorth, In which
ne said that 1t was a glorious thing 10
live In country where the President did not
feel above standing sponsor to the child of q
poor man. Then the clergyman asked
Grover I'VE Cleveland, do you renounce the devn
"Yah," said Congressman Maybury. in moor
German. The Congressman then slipped q gold
eagle into the outStretched hands of the baby

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE noNNEY.

WEDNEsDAY.-J. NJ. Edwards ct al. VS.. The
Forest City Steamboat Company. On the 14th of
October, 1885, Charles w. Peterson, then in the
employ OF the Forest City Steamboat Company, at
the rate Of S45 per month, made an assignment Of
his wages to the plaintiff The assignment was
recorded in the City Clerks Office the next day.
Peterson was discharged, as the defendants say
on the 10Th OF October, and re-employed by them
on another boat on Nov. LIST, and continued work
for them until the expiration of the six months
covered by the assignment.
On Jan. 2lst, 1886, the plaintiff, gave the de-
PENDANT company actual notice OF the assignment
and upon the same day Peterson went into ins0l-
vency. During the period between Oct. IA and
April. 1. the defendant paid Peterson his wages,
ignoring the assignment.
The defendants contend that Peterson was ac-
tually discharged from their employment on Oct.
10, and therefore the assignment could not cover
his wages under the new contract beginning Nov.
LIST.
The plaintiff, on the other hand, claims that it
was no discharge; that 1t was continuing con-
tract OF employment. and the period from Oct. 10
to Nov. /, was in the nature of vacation, lost
time, when the company had nothing for him to
do; that IL was understood between Peterson and
the company that he still in their employ. al
though for the time being not actually under pay.
The plaintiffs claim to recover OF the company
s54. the amount Of Petersons Indebtedness ito
them.
Decision for the defendants.
