DoUBLE-BARRELLED BIeAMY.

Mr.. JAMES E. SMITH, of this city, was
called to the Fifty-seventh Street Police
Court yesterday to answer a charge of bigamy
in having married MARY MUELLER while, as
is alleged, he had a former wife who was at
the time and is still alive. JAMES does not
marriages instead of two, and makes his adj
mitted double barrelled bigamy the ground
of his defense.
The plea is IN ingenious one. JAMES in
sists that his reputed first wife. who was mar
ried to HIM by Father FLooD at st. Johns
Church in 1882, is not his wife at all, for
this, IL for no other reason When he mar.
ried her, as he says, he already had q living
wife to whom he had been welded
ever since 1862, and who died less than
three months ago. Hence the marriage
by Father FLOOD in 1882 was no legal mar.

JAMES married MARY MUELLER. a little over q

Mrs. SMITH.

the marriage of 1882 does not appear. How.
ever, he pretends not to remember that any
such ceremony took place. AT all events il

ANOTHER VICTORY FOB THE PEOPLE.

ANOTHER V1OTOkY POR II PEOPLE.
The Board Of Education yesterday adopted
the report Of the committee in favor of re-
q~uesting tho Board OF A~pportionment TO
transfer $4,000 from an u~nexpended appro-
priation for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of he law providing for free leo
lures for the working men and women of the
city during the winter. The Committee on
Evening Schools was instructed to report Q
plan for the lectures.
The suggestion Of this free and instructive
amusement for the working people originated
with THE EVENING WORLD. and the law was
enacted through its efforts. We are, there
fore, gratided that the proposed lectures re-
ceive the appreciation and support Of Presi-
dent SIMMONS and all but two members Of the
Board of Education, whose objections and
criticisms. while doubtless honest, were un-
sound. Commissions Cole insisted that all
the school money should be used for edu-
eating children. instead of diverting any por-
ton Of it for the instruction and improve
ment Of grown people. But he was reminded
that the same argument would stop the even.
ing schools, which are attended by many
adults.
We congratulate the working people Of the
city ON the success of The EVENING WoRLp's
efforts to provide for them a free and valu-
able amusement during the winter evenings.

TO me Editor or Ths Evenfao world:
In your issue of Aug. 20 an article appeared
relative to M. Edward Gigure. the French
warbler. leaving Mr.. E. M. Gardeners 40
70" company and taking with him q wig
and $40 belonging to Mr.. Gardner, and also
stated that NJ. Glgure was under contract TO
60 with the 20 10 company this season.
Now in April. 1885. I contracted with M.
Gigure for i've years management, and il
was by my written consent that M. Gigure
joined MI. Gardner's company in 1885 for the
season of lsse.s7. Negotiations were pending
with Mr.. Gardner and Thatcher, Primrose K
West as to who should have Gigure during
the season OF 1887 IS. As there was a contract
between Messrs. Gardner and Gigure con-
tanning the regular two weeks notice clause,
Nj. Gigure gave and Mr.. Gardner took the
notice given in writing which broke the eI-
listing contract.
AS NJ. Gigure Ia at Jacobs's Thalia Theatre
this week with the " Kindergarten " oom-
pany Mr.. Gardner can make any demands
on him he desires. 1t Is an open question
with M. Glgure whether he institutes suit
a! ainst Nj. Gardner for SANDER or not. and
were it no for the undersrable notoriety he
would acquire thereby he would certainly do
so under my advice. In justice TO NJ.

NOW THERE rs MUSIC.

Tho Anti-Poveriy Fair Has Got It's License
and Happiness ReiEns.
Pretty Irish eyes danced with mirth in
place of anger at the Madison Square Gar
den last night. Their owners also danced.
This was because all difficulties were over
and there was music at the big Anti Poverty
Fair. After trying to block up the too. too
active police by legal technicalities. the man
ayers Of the fair finally went at the matter
practically and bought $3.50 worth of concert
license.
So much license will last three months.
The fair will continue but two weeks, and
what will be lone with the surplus license is
a matter yet to be considered.
Besides the music nd the dancing. every
thing else went on merrily at the fair. The
booths did a lively, business and there was q
great taking of chances on many valuable
things which but few people can win.
It'll all be the same way tonight.
