AMUSEM ENTS.
SsThe Henrietta'' by stuart Robson
and HIS Company.

and HIS Company.
A very good house, including large
percentage of the most critically intelli-
gent plsy-goers of the city, was at the
Grand last night to see the first produc-
ton on this Coast of Bronson Howard's
American comedy, The Henrietta, at the
hands of Stuart Robson and most care.
fully selected company.
The play is one of the best comedies
extant. 1t is nearly the best, if not the
best, of recent times, and it is by far the
best yet produced on this side of the At
lantic, so far as the writer is able to run
them over by quick effort of memory.
1t is on plane not far below The School
for Scandal. 1t is full OF the drclest
scenes and the most laughable situa-
tions, and the repartee is brilliant.
Mr.. Robson has a part, that of "Bertie
Vanalstyne, a Lamb" very like an
Americanized "Lord Dundreary." He
is inimitable of course, in bringing out the
vapid vacuity OF the shadow Of an intel
lectual system, as it is supposed to exist
in the Uranium and direct the move.
ments and inspire the utterance of the
thing called a dude. He is not well
understood here, for the reason that he
does not flourish in the strong virgin
soils of the far West; but comes from
the exhausted fields Of much-worn
eastern localities.
Frank Mordsunt takes the part OF
"Nicholas Vanalstyne, the Old Nick of
Wall street," "Bertie's" father, and
"bull" on Change, whose long horns and
great strength strike terror into the
"bears" on the Stock Exchange.
Tt is noble character nobly
rendered. Bluff, blunt, direct, rugged
in every fibre Of his nature, yet with @
biz, kind heart, as tender as a girls,
beneath. Mordaunt is a longt time favor
ite here, and be has never played better
than he did last night. The part fits
him as if he was made for the cast. The
next character of interest in the cast is
that of 1.-THE Rev. DR.. Murray Hilton" !"
La makeup and in every act and word
the role is biting, burning satire on
tho worldly, fashionable, unspiritual and
unworthy clergyman. The part was
well played by Geo. Woodward.
The whole cast is excellently made to
fit the roles. There is, in fact, not flaw
in it.
The play will give much satisfaction
here during the entire weak.

The Blue Lick Well.

Ane Dhu klc
There were hundreds of callers at the
New Denison House yesterday to sample
the water of the blue lick well and Judge
Martindale and George o. Taylor were
kept busy explaining to the visitors the
component parts of the wonderful fluid
and its numerous medicinal virtues. The
well. which is $50 feet deep. was closed in
order to allow the water to rise,
the hope being that it may flow
without pumping. During the day 1T
rose about $50 feet. which is 400 feet
below the surface. There is little doubt
that the supply of the water. is abundant,
and as the quality ia said TO be all that can
be desired for both bathing and. drinking,
1t is not likely that any further boring will
be attempted. DIR. John NJ. Kitchen Is quite
enthusiastic over the water, as are other
gentlemen of the medical profession, and
declares it to he the equal of the celebrated
Friedrichshall as an aperient and superior
to it, because of its sulphuretted hydrogen.
The we'll will be opened this morning to
see to what height the water has risen. and
if 1t proves not to nave sufficient pressure
from within to flow as a fountain. pumping
machinery will be made use OF to bring it
to the surface.

FOURTEEN QUIT 0 r
The Parry Painters Still Maintain that the

The trouble at the Parry Manufacturing
Company's shops does not seem to end as
readily as was anticipated. A large num-
Der of the one hundred and eighteen or one
hundred and twenty painters are very
much dissatisfied with what they term the
reduction in wages. The best workmen,

reduction has really been made. The old

best painters received from s1.75 to So %

operation. 2 cents per pair being paid for
shafts. Hence 1t now takes, it is claimed,

Some of the Devices That Have Been Used in
Trying to Solve the Question Of Rapid Transit.

The Julien Electric Motor Company of
New York having been given permission to
experiment with the storage system in op-
Grating street-cars on the tracks of the
Citizens company on Illinois street, from
the Union Station to Crown Hill Cemetery,
there is no little curiosity to know how
electric cars are run. AS far back as 1882.
Prof. Leo. Daft. of New York, constructed an
electric locomotive or motor car which
weighed $50 pounds, performed the remark
able feat of ascending a gradient of 54.9,
carrying with it a passenger weighing 80
pounds, a total of 600 pounds. This was as
cending an incline of forty-five degrees. and
out of respect for mechanical authorities,
the motor should not have gone up at all,
but merely helplessly rolled its wheels at
the bottom of the incline. Blu it did go
to the rails is greatly increased by a cur
rant of electricity passing from wheel to
rail-. E.
tive works." said an electrician to the re-
porter. 1T is simply a boxed car carrying
a powerful electric motor connected with
gearing to the axle of the d~riving-wheels.
The current is brought from a central gen.
Grating station through conductors placed
along beside the rails from which it is taken
by means of metallic contact brushes.
These brushes attached to the frame work,
scrape along the conductor bars, thus form
ing an electrical connection. They are in
connection with the motor and when the
current is conveyed to it, it performs it's
work of rotating the armature. The cur
rent passes off through the wheels and rails.
and back again to the station. A speed of
twenty-eight to thirty miles may be made,
which, of course, is much greater than
is needed or desirable. Another system
is for each car to be its own l0comO-
tive, an overhead wire conveying the
current, This need not be u%nsightly as
some folks suppose. Ornamental bracket
arms may be placed along the curbing to
support the conducting wire, which is not
much larger than ordinary telegraph wire.
The most common form of construction
is that in which substantial iron posts are
set along In pairs one on each side OF the
track, the distance between the pairs
these posts extending across the street. are
the supporting wires which are dead cleo
trically, having nothing to do with the
conveyance of the current. and suitable
tension wires are provided to take MP the
sag. From these the conducting wires are
suspended at points directly over
the centers of the track. The con.
insulating material. allowing no escape of
current, and the connection is entirely on
the upper side of the conducting wire. leav-
ing O smooth loose surface for the passage
of the trolley-wheel. This arrangement is
not unduly conspicuous. though rather
wires on the streets. The return of the
current, after passing through the motor,
is made by the rails, they being previously
electrically connected.

longer o question for discussion" continued
