The misunderstanding About the Croker
Donation.
]. G. MARITIME has received a letter from
Colonel Charles F. Crocker which clears up
entirely the misunderstanding in regard to
the subscription of the Crocker heirs to the
Suffers Fort purchase and restoration fund.
The letter is as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, December %, 1889.
J. G. Mdrtine-DEAR SIR: Replying to your
letter of December 18th, l am glad Of this OPP
portunity 10 correct any Misrepresentation on the
part OF the Native Sons or Pioneer Societies as
to our intention. expressed to Mayor Gregory,
in connection with the movement to purchase
and restore Suffers Fort property. Our inten-
ton is to subscribe to the fund now being raised
by the Pioneers and Native Sons for this pur-
pose, and not TO interfere with or relieve them
from carrying on the work. We are merely
subscribers to the fund they are raising, and the
amount OF our subscription is dependent on
what these Societies may do, according TO their
ability and the interest they take the project.
The announcement of our intentions in this
matter was premature, but under the cireum-
stances. unavoidable. / should regret very
much that this fact should interfere with the
raising of subscriptions and cause delay In the
purchase OF the property Yours, very truly,
CHARLES f. CRoCKER.

better and more expensive class of
 shows. Local managers can hardly be
 blamed for not wishing to
 make contracts with these high priced attractions when it is expected by the visiting managers that seventy-tive or eighty-fve per cent of 1 the gross receipts are to go to them
 Nor can the travelling managers be blamed, when account is taken of their heavy salaries and other expenses that are made unnecessarily great by the bur-
 den of railroad fares, for demanding a percentage of receipts so high that the
 local managers only in the large cities can afford to do business with them
 Such stars, for instance, as Booth and
 Barrett, Mary Anderson and Modjeska Augustin Daly's comedy combinations, and others of equal fame, cannot be brought to the ssmaller towns with any hope of profit either to themselves. or the local managers. If the people of
 Waterbury have been able to witness some of the very best attractions that the dramatic business affords. as we have been the past season, it has been more through the generosity of Manager Jacques than from any hope he had that he could make their visits profitable to himself. And this. too, with higher than his ordinary rates of admission. The man. agers of these expensive combinations have exacted percentages of profits that made it all but impossible for the local management to square itself, and this they were compelled to do in order to. meet the heavy expenses under which they themselves were struggling. There Is no item outside of salaries that bears so heavily on travelling theatrical com binations as railroad fares and the incl dental cost of handling and transferring baggage.
 In the interest, therefore, of the people of the country who find the drama an educating influence no less than of the theatrical people themselves who devote their lives to instructing and amusing their fellow men, it is to be hoped the effort to modify the law will be success ful. We could imagine no direction in which the interstate law could be changed to better advantage to all con- cerned.

DE-ArII BY WHOLESALE.

That is 6 fearful disaster which is re- ported ia our Geographic columns to- day. It seems at this writing to have been the result of the storm lling's Jury and to have been preventable by no known or conceivable human ageucies. In the face O. such d delllge from the reservoirs of heaven human power stands appalled, and realizes it's depen- dence on superior forces. We had an example, though fortunately not dis astrous one, two weeks since right here ln Waterbury of the terrible force of na- ture when its elements are in rage, and those who recall the deluge of rain at that time can conceive somewhat of the awful downpour tbat must have swept over the devastated region of Pennsylvania yesterday.
 In common with the people through out the country we can only bow our heads and weep that such a dreadful calamity should have come upon any section of the country. And while we are humbly thankful that we of these parts have been spared let us hasten to extend sympathy and aid, so far as lies in our power, to the stricken people of the flooded districts.

LOWER RATES FOR ACTOPS.

The effort that is being made by the managers of travelling theatrical com panies to secure a modification of the in- :SIerstate commerce law whereby they sshaay obtain transportation at reduced ssfates is being watched with great deal of interest, and with great deal of hopesoil the part of those outside the great cities that they may succeed in their purpose.
 Under Interpretations of the law as it now stands the travelling combinations are saddled with an enormous expense for railroad fares, which renders it inn practicable, and to a certain extent inn possible, for standard attractions 10 visit any but the larger cities where they can be assured of profitable houses and more or less protracted engagements. This is a great injustice to amusement patrons in the smaller places, depriving them as it does of the opportunity of seeing the

THE FREIGHT CAR PROBLE

In an interesting article on the man.
 her in which American railway com
 panies carry on their freight business
 which appears in the last number of
 Scribner's Monthly the statement is
 made that it is exceedingly difficult to
 devise any method by which railroad
 companies can secure a prompt return
 of the freight cars which they send out
 loaded over other roads, or obtain an
 adequate payment frssn those compan-
 of their rolling sock. A hint of
 this difficulty so far as it ex-
 tends to Connecticut railroads was sug-
 gested by assertions made and facts pro claimed at the railroad hearings recently
 held by the railroad committee at Hart- ford.
 Years ago it was customary for rail road company to carry freight to the end of its line and then transfer, not the car. but
 Under these-eonditions the company kept it's rolling stock under it's immediate control. But now, according to the
 writer in Scribner's. a freight car sent off upon connecting roads may not re- turn to the home road for twelve or eighteen months, and as the average life of freight car may be set at ,en years, and as payment is only received from other companies on the basis of mileage, while the car may be indefinitely side fair way to lose considerable amounts of money upon their investments. No doubt losses of this kind are offset by the advantages which a company ob- tains from the use of the freight cars of other companies; but where the system IS a somewhat loose one it may often happen that the best regulated company is the one which is the chief sufferer. Various plans have been suggested of overcoming this evil, but the one which seems most likely to be attended with good results is the formation by the themselves of what might be termed a freight car trust: that is, having all of the freight cars in use owned in common by all the companies, these paying certain fixed charge for the use of the cars into a common treas ury and sharing in the division of the profits arising from such contributions in accordance with their financial in- terests. It would seem possible to es- 5ablish some scale, both of subscription md charges, which would be fair all around, while the maintenance by the | ing and repairing of cars at various | central points would probably tend to reduce the cost of construction and l of this class of rolling stock. Such a change would be quite in inc with the consultations that are now going on in our railway systems. all of | which tend in the main to reduce the | cost of transportation to the patrons of 1 'ailroad companies.
 Certainly, as was hinted broadly in he railroad hearings at Hartford, there g much room for complaint in the con- iitions regulating the interchange of his state, and it would seem tbet ome method like that suggested might 'e available in our own state no less han on the large trunk lines tbat s,l @ -.,l heir winding length through mo,v tates.

GENERAL THOMAS EWING advised the graduating law class of the University of New York to be like Roscoe Conk- Hng-too proud to do a mean thing" Rather dubious advice we think for those young men when they come to re- fleet on Conklings fate. For refusing to do mean things Conkling was put in the soup by the republican party, and he was never after able to lift his head out of the political tureen in which it plunged him. Meanness, and good deal of it, is certificate of honor in the republican ranks. Those who don |, believe it need only notice the action Of the Connecticut republicans ill denying the people the right of electing their state officers. And while they are study ing the meanness of Connecticut repub- licans they will find plenty of other in stances to bear out this judgment of them

THERE is a hint of sarcasm in the Boston Heralds comment on Mrs Howell's prediction that women will get their rights early in the twentieth cen tury when it says that "everybody will join in her hope that long before that distant date something may be done to alleviate the condition of the poor sew ing women in our great cities, who are now paid four cents apiece for making the S2 skirts worn by their sex. When this is accomplished it will be time to talk about improving the morals of this class" And it is reasonable to believe that those who concern themselves with this work are doing more for the eieva- tion of the sex than the women who are going about the country laboring to se- cure for it the right of suffrage.

not always the fault of the hanging, al- though the committee which has this in charge usually succeeds in diSpleasing everybody, but something in the quality of the work itself. Bridgman paints a very delicate picture, and it suffers from contact with coarser work, whether superior or inferior. The warmth of his the salon as it did at his recent private exhibition in the Rue Volney.
 No American artist has contributed a moro pleasing picture than Rldgway Knight. Mir Knight sticks to his sub iect. We should like to see what else he can do. As it is, hesitate to place any American artist above him in his special line. Alexander Harrison has not yet justified the great expectations awakened by his Wave" Gay always does good work, but does not add specially to. his reputation. Elizabeth Gardner has in- creased her collection by another clever Dougnereatl-liise picture
 In spite of the exceptional praise given to it by Albert Wolff and other critics, Dagnan Bouverots "Bretonnes au Pardon" does not, arouse so much en. thusiasm among the general public as did Detailie's .'Soldicr's Dream'' Yet it is d painting l should like to see go to America, and ho artist who has not al- ready received the medal of honor ex- hlbltS q picture more worthy of it. Dag nan BOuNeret's star has risen steadily. He is Partisan by birth, galned a third medal in 1Soo and made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1885.
 Benjamin Constants death scene in Morocco is rigid. This artists work, master as he is, certainly lacks sympa- thy. Cabanefs last two portraits, one left unfinished at his death awaken our regret for him afresh. It is thought that LefebYre comes the nearest to re- placing him. Tony Robert Fleury is also doing excellent work in the same line. Gerome's picture of ''Love Conquering the Wild Beasts is perfection in execu- tion, but so much perfection seems al- most wasted on the subject, and causes one to wish that the master had less fertile imagination. Carorus Duran has increased his reputation by the s'Tri- umph of Bacchus," and Flameng's last picture of the series for the decoration of the stairway of the Sorbonne is not so good as the one exhibited last year.
 At present people are rushing zen masse" to the Salon they seem to be anxious to finish with it before the expo sition exhausts all their enthusiasm.

 To get the first fine impression of the exposition you must come in from the Trocadero On the peristyle in the in- side you embrace the whole extended view up to the part near the Invalides. But you can look at nothing but the Eiffel tower, which bursts upon you with it's giganti; lace work of iron, and right there you get the best view, be- cause it presents itself from the base The four vast arches formed by the stretched bases, which seem to have merely been put in the four granite abutments for convenience sake, to me are the most wonderful and the most graceful part of the tower. Then the sloping off to the second platform is a very graceful curve. The upper part shoots away into the sky as it assumes the shape of common lighthouse tower It does not seem as high as it is, and now that it is done it does not impress one that it was difficult to build

ACCORDING to the esteemed Hartford Post, "New England republicans have but one candidate for the speakership of the house, and that is Hon Thomas B.

And he will wonder, too, when he became of so little conseque tnat he isn't to be chased as New England republican.
