KIDS AT THE COMIOUE.
Newsies and Sinners Take in the
Variety Show.

NeWSIeS ana Sinners Take i'll the
Variety Show.
The Theatre Comique has seen the
triumphs of many fairy queen of the
variety stage; it has resounded to the
hymns and psalms of the city mission
people: it has echoed with the shouts
and applause of the admirers of the
heroes of the pugilistic arena, but never
in its eventful history has 1t heard such
an uprOar-Seen such pandemOnium
as was witnessed there yesterday after
noon on the occasion of the benefit
rendered by Manager Brown to the
newsbOys and bootblacks of the city.
The theater was crowded with motley
audience of juvenile humanity-black,
white, and the vast majority brown with
dirt-but then everything went,
and how they enjoyed themselves!
No histriOnic genius ever heard
such storm of applause as was sent
hurting at the actors yesterday in that
variety resort. They shouted and cat
called, and criticised the players in their
own inimitable way. Here is sample,
where the charming equilibriSt Adele
Pgrvis appeared, Said one kid to an
she's got tights on bill, you're
den, ''she's married and | knows it."
'Wal. that don't cut no figger, Jack.
anyhow, she's dumping and ILL.,"
and then all the gang around rOared.
They couldn't fool the youngsters,
either; they knew all the jokes, and
screamed and rOared when the fairies
in the cave were departing. One
screamed she was going to Ypsilanti,"
and another cried out, Job lots" was
good enough for her. What brought
down the house, however, was when
Manager Wheeler appeared and COM
menced firing apples to the boys. They
fought and scrambled and tore each
others hair and eyes, and in the middle
of the whole act an enormous pippin
caught the GLOBE man terrific whack
in the eye, and that closed up his optic
and his power of description for the
next few days. There is this to add,
however: The whole thing was an i'm
mense success, and Manager Brown
has added to his list of friends couple
of hundred little ones who will swear
and fight for him when occasion offers.

Resolved, That, while we will sub

Resolved. That, while somewhat in

the railway i'll event of lowering of said

Resolved, That all bridges to be built
by the railway company should be built
at once, or temporary bridges provided,
so rs not to impede travel, and that all
such bridges, except the paving and
planking thereof, should be maintained
at the expense of the railway. and not
of the people; that the bridge across
Nicollet avenue should be of the full
width thereof, and across the streets
upon which street cars cross, wide
enough to permit the passage of teams
outside the tracks.
Resolved, That in the event of any
dog in the manager or cut throat policy
being adopted by the railways against
our people or business men, we ask our
aldermen to aid in pushing the railways
to the wall by requiring fiagmen day
and night at all streets, avenues and al
leys, the building of proper safety gates
and the limitation of speed of engines
and cars thus demonstrating that the
people through their aldermen are mas
tiers of the situation, and spurning the
lie that the railway corporations are.

The substitution was agreed to by
large majority, and when the motion
was put by the chairman that copy of
these resolutions be handed to the alder
man of the Eighth ward it was unani-

by nearly all present as the final and if
revocable decision of the Eighth ward
property owners in the mOmentouS
question, which means so much to them.

LOWELL ON CLEVELAND.
His Words of Strong Commends

His words OF strong COmmenOa-
ton for the Presidents COur-
age.
From James Russell LowelIs Address at the
Boston Tariff Reform Banquet.
One of the reasons that brought us
hither is the presidents message at the
opening of the present congress. Per-
senally 1 confess that l feel myself
strongly attracted to Mr.. Cleveland as
the best representative of the higher
type of Americanism that we have seen
since Lincoln was snatched from us.
And by Americanism mean that which
we can not help, not that which we
fiaunt. that way of looking at things and
of treating men which we derive from
the soil that holds our fathers and waits
for us. / think we have all recognized
in him manly simplicity of character
and an honest endeavor to do all that he
could of duty, when all that he would
was made impossible by difficulties to
the hourly trials and temptations to
which we have fortunately never been
exposed.
But we are not here to thank him as
the head of a party. We are here to
felicitate each other that the presiden-
tial chair has a man in it. and this
CNOlJ WIN ~ soy ~
weighted with what he is. We are here
to felicitate each other that this man I'M
derstands politics to mean business, not
chicanery, plain speaking, not paltering
with us in double sense; that he has
had the courage to tell the truth to the
country without regard to personal or
party consequences, and thus to remind
us that "a country not worth telling the
truth tolls not worth living in, nay, de-
serves to have lies told in it and to take
the inevitable consequences in calamity.
If it be lamentable that acts of official
courage should have become so rare
among us as to be noteworthy it cOnsol-
ing to believe that they are sometimes
contagious. 80 shines good deed in
naughty worldw As courage is pre-
eminently the virtue of men, SO it is the
virtue which most powerfully clal-
lenges the respect and emulation of
men. We thank the president for hav
ing taughta most pertinent object les

to be seen ofall the people. We Should

'This meeting is continuance Of the

night in the Relief association hall Lake

question at present agitating the Eighth

there was last night" This Ed A. Ste

the crowd got down to business, it was

No Chance to Modest Him---His
j Original Story.
The question has been universally
asked: What will be done with Reddy
Barrett? Nothing. There are persons
who are disposed to blame County At
torney Davis for this and to criticise
what they call a promise of immunity.
While the GLOBE is no apologist tor
Mr.. Davis, these criticisms are all
wrong. Reddy could not be convicted
under any circumstance. He has made
no confession" that court would al
low to go to a jury and nothing that he
against him. There is absolutely no
other witness. Both Tim and Peter
have sworn positively they know moth
ing of the murder and were not
with Reddy on that fatal night.

there is not enough circumstantial evil
idence, now that Tim has been convict
ed, to make Reddy's conviction proba-
BILE. 1t looks as though Ito those who
consider solely the good of society one
had escaped surely, to make possible
the punishment of the others.
1t is said. on good authority, that the
confession of Reddy was not the volun-
tary OutpOuring of soul weighed down
by remorse. 1t is told that he made
several careless admissions which re-
suited in telling the story. While he
was in jail for running blind pig he
was allowed to go out, and improved the
opportunities by getting drunk. The
jailer reproached him and he retorted:
eff you had as much Oh your mind as
I have you'd get drunk, too.'
He then said he could tell something
of the TOllefsOn murder and it was ar
ranged that he should give some point
ers to Quinlan and King. The jailer
went out to find them and happened to
meet Mr.. Jamison, to whom he told his
story, and who at once went to see
