INSPECTING THE THEATERS.
London Council Wanted Free Admis-
sion-Bank of England Must Pay.

LONDON, June 20.-For an entirely new and
inexperienced institution, such as the newly
created county council is, it is developing re-
narkaDle knack for legislation of a certain kind
well known to American municipalities.
With a very commendable zeal for the safety
of playgOers they undertake to provide for q
regular inspection of all the theaters in the
city. A committee was recently appointed to
investigate. and Mr.. Eardell, the chairman of
this committee. now brings in his eport recon-
mending that thirty members of the council be
invested with the power 10 enter thea:ers and
music halls at any time. day or night. for the
purpose OF inspection. The speeches in sup
port Of this proposition were somewhat
amusing. None of the honorable members
cared anything about the free passes to all the
shows In London the passage of this ordinance
would give them. Oh. no. Nothing but a
realizing sense of the awful responsibility for
the lives of their constituents could induce
them TO vote for this measure.
THIS AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY 1T WAS
that demanded the personal attention of all
members.
Lord Roseberry, the president Of the coun-
Gil, showed that such a motion might be open
TO mlsconstructiOn, and shGmed the council
into defeating 1t by a small majority.
Quite a curious case has just been decided in
Justice Denmans court and the Bank of Eng
land will have to pay $1,000 for a Bank OF
England note OF that denomination lost ten
years ago Lambeth bricklayer inherited
$4,000 ten years ago, and this so turned his
head that the money rapidly melted away. He
Lost 1000 note, and his heirs now compel
the Bank of England to make good the loss.
The movement In London to have the mu-
seums, art galleries and public Libraries opened
to the public on Sunday is rapidly gaining
ground Many politicians, numerously signed,
have been sent 10 parliament, and now the Lon
don county council. has by a large majority de-
clded TO petition parliament to this end
