The National Opera Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Signor De Vivo's expose in regard to the National Opera con- pany has not created as much of stir as was expected. MT. Thomas as usual refuses to talk upon the subject. No further steps had been taken at noon towards enforcing the claim of the discharged Coryphees against the company and there was an apparent lull in the storm. The arrival to-day of the principal dancers and the discharged stage manager will add an impetus to the trouble and further interesting developments may be 1noked for

Caught Rfd1ng Letters.
 MERIDEN, Ct., Dec. 16.-For some time past letters with money in them have been missing from the Meriden postofice. W. A. Kelsey & Co.,, manufacturers of printing presses, who received considerable mail with small sums of money, were the principal vic- tims. Suspicion pointed towards Frank Hess, fifteen years old, and who had charge of the delivery window. This afternoon the money order clerk continued scheme to capture the thief and was successful. He addressed a letter to W. A. Kelsey & Go. with a marked bill enclosed and it was after ward found on the person of Hess. He was taken to police headquarters. He denied having taken the letter from the mail and according to his story he found the letter on the walk and forgot to mention it.

Miss Pauline Markham appeared in the role of ''The New Magdalen" at Bunnel1's yester- day afterne on and evening. Crowded houses greeted her at both performances. There was no meagreness in Miss Markham's per sonation of the heroine of ''The New Mazda len" or the cloak of naturalness with which she enveloped herself in the performance of her part. There is an art in her work which comes from the best of training. Thoroughly charming as comedienne, her pathos has an amount of soul in it that equally captisates. The love scenes ill "The New Magdalen" were very tender and self surrendering The rage while it lasted, caused by the taunts of one she had wronged, was like sudden mountain torrent, and what may be called the renaissance of her love for her defender, who truly loved her after her afianced refused to honor her, was the most beautiful episode of all, because then the true womans chasten- ed heart loved her defender for himself alone. To day Miss Markham will appear in her own exclusive version of the 1.-Two Or phans."

THE DOW LIQUOR LAW.

Adjudged CoAstitut1ona1 by the Stu.
 pfeme Court at Columbus.
 COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 16.-Contrary to the expectations of many, the Supreme court this morning appeared on the bench and announced some opinions, among which were two affecting the Dow liquor law. The opinion of majority of the court, that is, Judges Minshall. Spear and Dickman, was that the Dow law as enacted by the last gen. eral assembly is constitutional to all intents and purposes, and that all litigations arising therefrom in the counties of the State must be settled by strict concurrence in the pro- visions of the law. Chief Justice Owen and Judge Toilette, the Democrats, dissent from this opinion. The decision on the constitu- tionality of the law will settle an immense amount of litigation and will cause the funds in the county treasuries to swell. The Dow law, which substantially re-enacts the Scott law, provides tax of $200 upon any person selling intoxicating liquors and makes several further provisions as to the separation of the business in respect to selling vinous or malt liquors only. For this branch it provides a tax of $100. Certain penalties are attached for non payments. All interest at once cen tered in the syllabus, which it was expected would be given out this evening. However, as soon as the judges retired to the consulta- tion room it was announced that the opinion was not written and would not be until some time during or after the holidays.

 Committee i'm New York.


 NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The ladies' suffrage committee tonight celebrated at the Hoff- man House the vote cast by Mrs. Lucy S. Barbour in Alfred, N. Y., under existing law at the last election. Mrs. Kate Palmer Stearns presided and criticised Hon. A. S. Hewitt's statement that domestic service is the cure for working women's distress. She said most working women cannot get such employment and those competent for it are kept out by unjust social stigmas on the occupation. The other speakers were Orlan- do B. Potter, Isabella Beecher Hooker and Hamilton Wilcox. Mrs. Frank Leslie, Dr. Clemina s. -Lozier, Antoinetts Blackwell, Aaron M. Powell and James Redpath of the North American Review sent letters of re- gret. Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford, of New Haven, sent 8 poem. The resolutions de- clare that suffrage belongs to the New York women by the laws of both God and man, and that the time has come for woman to take possession of fair share of political power

"A Bunch of Kevs," or ''The Hotel," will be produced at the New Haven Opera House Saturday afternoon and evening by the Sparks company. An exchange says of it: This rattling farcical production bristles with funny situations so closely following upon each other that the audience is kept in almost 8 continuous peal of laughter until the curtain falls. The songs, dances and med leys, which form an important item in the play, are very nicely rendered. Miss Nash as freddy Keys," MT. Garfield as "Grimes" and Mir.

sssnow-snow-special Notiee..


 The above was the heading of notices from the chief of police and superintendent of streets distributed yesterday stating that any persons not cleaning their sidewalks and gut ters from snow after reasonable time would incur penalty of two dollars in each case, and the chief also stated he had given in- structions to the police in different sections to notify such persons that unless they com piled with the law he would take proceed ings against every such person. Now, the last snow storm there were many sidewalks and gutters not touched and I know of some ladies going to church ankle deep in snow and with difficulty keeping from falling. Now say if there is law to compel persons to clean heir walks and gutters let it be en- forced and if few are fined it will make others attend to the removal of such snow. And think where life and limbs are at stake it is the duty of the chief to suspend such policeman neglects to obey his orders in reporting such delinquents, as there is no use in paying for the insertions of such no- tices if the law is not enforced. hope the chief and Superintendent Doyle will give their immediate attention and see that our people walk safely without danger of breaking their limbs. Many suffered last week and had sprained limbs; even our worthy coming Mayor was one of the sufferers, as well as other persOuS

McQUADE GOING TO SING SING The Convicted Boodler Will Get the

 the Next One to be Tried.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Recorder Smythe will sentence McQuade tomorrow. The sen tence will probably be for the full term of ten years imprisonment and fine which cannot exceed $5, ,O0O. Communication will re- duce the term to little over six years. Me- Quade keeps his spirits up well, but his fam fly are much cast down. District Attorney Maritime said to-day that pending the first trial McQuade offered through his counsel to plead guilty upon condition that he should be sentenced to but two years and a small fine. The offer was declined because the prosecution felt sure they could convict. It is supposed Jake Sharpe will be the next boodler to be tried.
 Rosenberg, the McQuade juror accused by two clerks whom he had discharged with be- ing on the jury in the interest of the boodler, has made afidavits on which they will be arrested.
