Our reople are indignant at the pro
posed abolition OF the custom house
here. The i'lea is too preposterous to
be entertained tor moment by any
sensible person. Chincnteague is the
central point for all boats trading W
and down our waters for a distance OF 6(
miles, and l25 boats are registered here
which number will be increased when the
proposed canal is opened between Chin
) colleague and Delaware bays. To put
our boatsmen, many of them poor.to the
inconvenience and expense of a trip tc
Cape Charles or Crisfpld. to attend tc
matters incident to their business, would
be injustice of the rankest sort.

THE DRAMIT1C SCHOOL AGAIN.
Some Suggestions From a Well Known
Playwright

Playwright
NEW YORK. July 7.-Mr Dion Bouci-
cault, who is as memorable as the wandering
Jew, as fecund as Lope de Vega and as en-
tertaining as Father Front, has como to
town 10 freshen the dead summer season, to
amuse the weary during the swoon of the
solstice, and to organize that immemorial
desideratum practical dramatic school.
Two things infatuated men do here regu-
larly and then disappear; they have been
doing il for twenty-five years and the track
of time is strewn with their bones and the col
lapsed pocket books of their hackers They
give Italian opera aud they start dramatic
schools. 1t is m0nomanla that COSTS mil
| lions and has ruined hosts of milliners and
| type writers.
But as neither time nor trouble has ever
vanquished Boucicault, there is a deep
superstitious feeling that he will buck
against this problem and shatter it.
A dramatic school in the popular sense is
otinstituted to help the drama but to relieve
the community of the girls who want to
act and make fifty dollars week on exhi-
| bition.
There is what the newspapers call "felt
| demand for national school of acting in
every fancy goods store. in every book bind
cry, i'll every family circle that has two or
| Every third girl in Mays harbors in her
| inmost soul a secret resolve to save money
enough to play Camille at some time and
| die on a lounge, Every third wife of n
! promising young banker secretly studies
| Pauline in her bed room and costumery in
her boudoir, SO rs to be prepared to take to
| the stage at moments notice if her hus-
| band should go TO Canada suddenly.
All this vast abeyaut community of aspi-
rants needed was some such move as Bouci-
cault has Unade 10 precipitate them all upon
