A Cut in Rates from Chicago to Boston

A Cut in Rates from Chicago to Boston.
 CHICAGO, April 14.-The Chicago and At lantic road yesterday cut its passenger rate from Chicago to Boston $2, making a $17 rate, against its allowed differential rate of S19. The company alleges that the cut was made because the Lake Shore road fails to make any extra charge on its vestibule train to Boston, although it charges $2 extra on this train to New York. The Chicago and Atlantic officials say they will either force the Lake Shore to make an extra charge to Boston or drop it's vestibule train service to that point. In any event the Chicago and Atlantic will preserve it's agreed differentials.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The New Mueg's Landing"

"The Mugg's Landing" will be given at the opera house Monday evening. Where ever it. has been played the papers with one accord speak in the highest praise of the company which presents it, and especi- ally of the charming young actress, Miss Bishop, who assumes the leading part. Of the play itself, that excellent dramatic critic, the Philadelphia Register speaks as follows 'Muggs Landing was only launched upon the stage at the opening of the season, but is already big success and gives promise of enjoying long run. It is more than is claimed for it. Unlike most plays, it is strongly dramatic, with out the usual murder, betrayals, suicides, etc. There is not weak point or superfuous line in the whole construction It is chaste and charming, with sudden transformations from the sublime to the ridiculous. Tragedy and comedy are deftly interwoven, and thrilling situations are the jewels in the crown of the most enjoyable nonsense"
 The 'Little Tycoon" Opera Go.
 This pleasing operetta will be presented by first class opera company at the opera house Thursday evening. It is now play ing a three nights stand at the New Ha- ven opera house, and of the produc- tion the New Haven Register has this to say ''The staging and costuming of the play were excellent, the latter being particularly fine. Frederick Lennox as Gen. Knickerbocker carried off the honors of the evening, and his song, You Cawn't Do It, You Know was repeatedly encored The singing by Miss Hattie Arnold in the pleasing role of Miss Hurricane was the best of the company. Her voice was ex- ceedingly full and sweet. MT. Myers as Rufus Ready had the best voice among the gentlemen and played his part with care. The chorus was well trained and came well up to time, and some of it's parts were sung in good-souled manner, which was delightful contrast to some choruses that have been heard in this city this season."
