TRAMP WIRES.

In the investigation nov going on num-
bers Of electric wires with q high tension
current for which nobody can be held re-
sponsible have been discovered. They are
strung for short distances for motor pur-
poses. Some Of the worst lack Of insulation
was In these wires for which nobody could
be found responsible. ....
II 10 hard enough TO fasten responsibility
for accidents from defective wires upon cor.
porntions which confess to the ownership Of
them. But when obscure, unknown indi-
Viduals string wires 1t IL almost impossible to
run them to ground in case Of Casualties.
Now that things are being cleared ny, let
this abuse be looked to. Mr.. WHRELER did
right in cutting down these tramp wires
wherever he found them.
Yesterday the crowd that gathered in the
street in the several places where . linemAn
was aloft in q nest Of wires showed that the
people are keenly alive to the menace that
the wires are.
Settle things right, H. the city IL left in the
dark Tor a month. Don't give up because the
companies yield slowly.

BOoTH-MODJESKA.

The dramatic union Of Edwin Booth and Nine.
Modjeska suggests the perfect harmony Of bass
and treble that exists in choice and influential
music. The rich maturity of Booths art will
undoubtedly form a most picturesque contrast
to the light and dainty methods Of the Polish
actress.
But in "'Richelieu," Bulwer's famous play.
presented last night for the second time at the
Broadway Theatre, Nine. Modjeska is hardly
seen to much advantage in the role Of Julie de
Mortimer. 1t is one that is hardly suited to
Modjeska's abilities. 1t is AZ the woman and
not as the girl that she il most felicitous.
Even the scene in the third act, when
with flashing eyes and heaving bosom
she tells Richelieu Of the brutal cowardice
OF King Louis KILL, there was but little con-
vincing strength in the narrative. l recall Mod
jeskaIs superb work as Isabella, in Measure for
Measure, when she has a scene with Angelo. in
which the same outraged feelings are called
forth.
In "Richelleu " Edwin Booth has most Of the
honors to himself, and how great and far
reaching these honors are 1 think that most
theatre-goers know. His impersonation of the
crafty Cardinal has become something of a
household word. 1t is changed in no essential
respect, nor does it show the least sign of that
contempt which is supposed to be the outcome
Of excessive familiarity.
Otis Skinner as Adrian de Mauprat is effective,
although perhaps q trihe lacking In serenity.
Mr.. Skinner appears to be on springs. Charles
Hanford is the Count de Baradas with unction
and dignity. Charles Koehler's sketch of De
Beringhen is a veiy neat little bit Of work, and
the Huguet Of James Taylor is discreet and
pleasing.
Richelieu " is admirably put upon the stage.
There are none OF the slipshod accessories to
IsnI - l..
devices. sometimes fall victims. Richelieu's
castle at Ruelle and the room in the Cardinals
palace are artistically interesting. The CO.'S
tunes also bear the gloss Of novelty, ana are
moreover very handsome. Nine. Modjeska's
gowns are poems OF charming simplicity.
