Mrs. Stephen J. Field is one of the best
entertainers of the capital; still, she does
not believe in the New Years punch bowl.
She says:

punches 1 never give to my guests. Peo-
pie come so far to Capital hill that feel if
it is their habit to use wine, hospitality de-
mands that 1 serve it. Justice Field likes
a cup of chocolate better than anything
else when he makes calls, and I always
have it for people who, like him, prefer it.

My next interview is from the wilds of

wife. She said:
''The woman or girl who offers one of

AMUSEMENTS.
The Grismers I'm ssFOrgiven', at TIA
Grand opera House.


Last night Mr.. Joseph Grismer and
Miss PhCebe Davis appeared after long
absence at the Grand Opera House. The
play was Mr.. Clay Green's new produc-
ton Forgiven. 1t is in all respects
the best thing this playwright has pro-
duced. 1t is drama of the modern
time and distinctly western type. There
is a good deal OF the sensational about it,
but less of the pistol and bowie knife
than is usual in Mr.. Green's efforts.
Still the noble act of self-protection, or
Others destruction, at the mouth OF six
shooter. or point of big
knife, is not wholly wanting. The
story is that of a young woman who, IN
moment of infatuation, marries gamb-
Ter in spite of all warnings on the part OF
her friends. She finds herself q social
outcast. and has not the love for her
| husband, nor the pride of character to
| be unaffected by her fate. She is on the
point of running away with an old flame
when her husband detects her. There
| is much sorrow, much suffering as re-
suit. He shows that, gambler as he ls,
he is better man than she is 4 woman.
In due time, as the title gives reason to
expect, there is the usual poectic justice
all around. The dene ume1t is OF the
most roseate hue.
Mr.. Grismer, as "Jack o. Diamonds y
develops that painstaking study OF
the character, that conscientious
effort to give finished and
rounded delineation that always dis
tinguish his actions. He gives fine
effect to role which calls for careful
acting. :.
Miss Davies, as "Jack's wife," appears
in role new to her. There is nothing
of the hoyden in the part. 1t is
character which calls for q higher line o.
artistic work than she has usually at
tempted. And the calm demeanor, the
nobier lesson of the wife and mother si
better upon her than the pranks and pet
of "Chispa" and similar casts ever did

men worked rapidly and the damage to
the stock and building was very slight.
1t was stated thata box filled with kim
ding wood and shavings was found half
burned in the store at the point where
the fire started, and this gave rise to the
charge made by the firemen, that the
fire was incendiary. An investigation
will be made this morning. 1t is stated
that there is an insurance of 5000 on
the stock.

BY REFERENCE TO the telegrapnlc
columns of the HERALD it may be seen
that the new Charter, proposed for this
city, has passed the Senate by an abso-
lutely unanimous vote Of that body. 1t
may also be seen that it is Hon. S. M.
Whites opinion that the course of the
proposed instrument in the Lower House
will be as clear as in the Senate, pro.
vided it passes muster before the Judic-
iary Committee on constitutional
grounds. There is any amount of twaddle
talked about gamblers, and their oppo-
sition to the Charter. All this is the
attempt of people who desire to force it
through by means of prejudice; and it
looks as if those who indulge in it found
! themselves unable to discuss the ques-
ton on it's merits. There all sorts of
innuendos thrown out to the effect
that the HERALD, that Hon. S. NJ
White, and that all others who express
any misgiving as to the constitutionality
of the instrument, were dealing in bad
faith, and surreptitiously fighting the bat
| tie of an evil element of society. Those
who resort to such subterfuge know what
they are dealing in, but prefer to deal in
that way, rather than in an open man
ner. The whole matter is just this
There are good lawyers who express a
doubt as to the constitutionality OF the
Charter. These doubts were given ex-
preston in the HERALD. 1t is an honest
doubt on the part of those express
sing it. The HERALD also looked
with disfavor on the instrument on
partisan grounds. These teased when
a handsome majority of the citizens,
among them many Democrats, expressed
their preference for the new Charter. As
it stands now, we know of no objection
to its passing the Legislature beyond the
doubt of its being in strict consonance
with the Constitution. The latest case of
begging the question appeared in yester-
day g issue of our esteemed contemporary
the Times. In answer to the suggestion,
that the improvement of the city may be
obstructed by the adoption of faulty in
StruLu6uG, We are IcLuluucu tuhC Ju0 u0W
Charter provides for the issuing of bonds,
and there the argument stops. 1t would
be queer Charter that did not
contain such a provision. 1t contains
that, Of course. But is the provision
consonant with the Constitution of the
State? We are perfectly willing to leave
that point to be determined by the Ju-
dietary Committee of the House. 1t will
be awkward, to be sure, if their judg
ment should not be sustained by the at
torneys of the banks. But that will
have to be determined afterwards.
Meantime, is it all fummery that any
one is surreptitiously trying to defeat the
instrument in the interests of any class
OF people. Last night mass
meeting was held here. 1t was
not a very uproariously enthus-
iastic affair, nor was it an over
whelmingly large one. But it was a nom
partisan meeting in which citizens of
both parties expressed a desire for the
passage of the Charter. The proceed
ings, including the resolutions passed,
will be found in the local columns of the
HERALD to-day.

cats-he was dealing with. At all events
the Reverend Sam would supply the
anti.climax to any possible climax of
sweetness and moral elevation even
Christ could acquit himself of.
Amongst the interesting things of
which the Rev. Sam acquitted himself
was that a number of gentleman had
made themselves responsible for the rent
of the Pavilion, and that it had
cost him $1,000 to get here. He
took occasion to add that that amounted
to nothing. But he finally struck his
favorite figure of apostrophe and in
dulged in this chef d'oeucre of highly
sublimated religion: But you men
there, want you to 60 down-low
down-into your pockets, and dig up
something for the cause. If you haven't
anything to give, vAcATE, and let gentle
men take your seats"
Some of the unregenerate are inclined
to think this is rather sordid way Of
presenting the matter, and they can
recall no note Of Christ OF even approx.
mate brutality.
AS we have said, the Rev. Sam is 6
plucky little man. Having been attacked
bv our esteemed contemporary, the
| Times, as an untruthful man, he me-
the accusation just as finely as Charley
Mitchell or John L. Sullivan would have
done. He said: 81 have been called {
liar in this beautiful City of the Angels
but the charge has been delivered from
a walled castle-from a newspaper office
No man in this audience or in this com
munity will say so without my making
him subject for a dentist"
We really think that Rev. Sam il
nervy and determined, and if We called
him liar we should expect biff on th'
nose. Still this kind of talk contrast
very markedly with that of Christ il
Matthew, when He says, eff the enem,
buffet thee on the right cheek turn unit
him the Left" and many other utterance
OF similar import.
Perhaps the climax OF the Rev
Sans absurdities was reached when h
apostrophized lot of elderly men in tn
audience, whom he assumed to hav
been dissolute. His peculiar rhap
sody ran somewhat in this fashion
"You hoary-headed old hell-hounds-
(and he appeared to be addressing som
people in especially you were amongst tn
harlots last night, and came home an
laid your head down beside that OF you
pure wife," A little later, with his Gus
tomary illogical lack of sequence, th
Rev. Sam said: "Mind you, there wa
another one in that household that ha
done the same thing. l believe ths
woman has the right to play even.'
To most people such stuff will seem a
atrocious travesty on the Gospel of Chris
We do not claim that in fixing the statu
of the Rev. Sam Jones as a moral II
structor we have followed his exact lar
guage in every instance. What we
claim and know is that we have given a
intelligent mans impressions OF his pecl
liar socalled religious rhapsodies.
