Colonel Emery Defended.
WASHINGTON, June II Editor Critic.
In yesterdays CRITIC much was said
about Colonel Emeiy's holding out in
ducements to laboring men that their
fares would be paid to 70 to Johnstown
TO work. Now, was with Mr.. Emery
at Willard Hall and know how men
came TO him and begged of him to try
and get for them work at Johnstown.
He had the same answer for each and
all: 81 have not time here to talk with
You about IL. If you like you can 60
to my Office and register your name and
address, and, If i hear anything to your
advantage, ! will let you know" These
men, whose names appear In yester-
days issue, have known Mr.. Emery
long enough in public and private life
to know he would not misreprescnt a
thing of this kind.
The fact is, there was clamoring
mass of oil sorts of men, anxious to get
ride there, and, when they found they
could not be accommodated In this way,
they wanted to hold the Colonel respon.
sible for their failure. l would not ask
this indulgence, but Mr.. Emery has gone
TO mingle with and help the suffering
people, for which he deserves great
credit, as he goes without money or re.
ward, and is not here to refute these
false insinuations, which / know well he
would do ifhe was. A SUBSCRIBER.

Broker Robbers.

Mr.. Matthews an old Indianian, who
is engaged in the manufacture of rail
road supplies, gave me a curious picture
of New York brokerage to-day by say
ing; "Do you know that the law about
commissions on business in New York
is simply outrageous Why, If you in
troduce me to a railroad president as a
man likely TO have orders for railroad
supplies and hereafter get an order
from him, you can come in and claim
commission on the order. If don't
pay you and happen to be non.resi-
dent you can lock me up in Ludlow
street jail on charge Of fraud in
tlduciaIy capacity until get bail, and
the chances are you will get judg-
ment against me. There are scores OF
men in New York with whom | dare
not engage In conversation lest they
give me pointers that this or that rail-
road wants certain supplies and then
claim q commission on all business /
get from that road. One OF the big
concerns in my line, of which ! know,
returns the letters Of number of
brokers firms unopened, because the
brokers write to suggest that this or
that road Is about TO buy supplies and
then demands commission on the ground
OF furnishing information. ~ New

ADJUSTMENTS.

1t was hot last night 'It' in this
connection meaning the weather. But
II did not keep very many people away
from Albaugh's. They went to hear
the Lamont Opera Company in "Amo.
rita" Which was what they had been
doing with great frequency the week
before. You may rest assured nobody
froze to death. For obvious reasons.
The opera went off easily and grace
fully, Everybody did well, as usual
And there was much applause. Louis
de Lange's topical-not tropical-song,
Don't Ask Me-" is far superior to his
collar.button monologue, and Louis re-
ports the collar button lost in the flood,
with no insurance. Miss Garlic is Just
as cute as ever, and little cutter. The
small nigs were dressed cooler than any
body else in the house. An audience
would look mighty funny attired in the
same diaphanous drapery. But It
would be cool Comfort must, how
ever, give way TO custom. "Amorita"
will go till Thursday night, when "The
'Mikado' will be substituted.
The Berlitz School of Languages will
give French and German theatrical
entertainment at Willard Hall Wednes-
day evening, June IL, for the benefit of
the flood sufferers. Admission, so cents.
The summer season of variety will be
inaugurated at the Globe Theatre this
evening, and the talent includes some of
the best on the variety stage. Prices
10, 20 and 80 cents.

Of the carp in this country Is not mis-

the fish in waters where none other will
thrive, but that is all. Its meat is coarse

the table of any one of score of
native varieties.
Let us cultivate our own fish more
and pay less attention TO this specimen,
which may do to exc out the food sup
ply in parts of Europe, where nothing
better is to be had, but which is almost
valueless here, where fish worth eating

Sunday Snake Fights.

Ell PAso. TEX, May 9O,-A fiercely-

wild animals, and something entirely
new in the way of arenic sports,
namely, snake fights. The country
around FL Paso abounds in immense
rattlesnakes and bullsnakes. which are
mortal enemies, and fight every time
they meet. The real estate owner
above mentioned intends to fit an arena
where such sports can be safely wit

CASHIER BALLS CASE.
Judge Miller Fixes the. Amoant OF
His Bond mt $1,000. rs

Judge Miller took up the charges of
embezzlsment against Charles T. Ball,
cashier of the United States Express
Company. Ball sat facing the Court,
evidently thoroughly detected man.
lie is approaching middle age, is slender
in build, and the lower portion of the
face is covered with beard VIM. A.
Cook appeared in his defense. Albert
Trego, the agent for the express com
pany, was the only witness examined,
and the testimony was far from being
voluminous.
"Mr. Ball, " he said, ehas been en-
ployed as cashier at the Washington
office of the company for about six
years. About May /, irregularities In
his accounts were discovered, and his
resignation requested. On investiga-
tion found that way bill from Gin
cinnati, calling for $100 freight, which
came to him, and for which he was re
sponsible, had not been in any way
accounted for. He acknowledged to
mo that 1t was due the company and
promised TO make it good. Mr.. Ball
took 500. SO in March, 1888, for which
he has not accounted to the company"
Mr.. Cook contcnded that, as the Gov
ernment had so far shown the loss of
only 500, the bail should be fixed at
very low figure, and suggested $500.
Judge Miller remarked that the Govern.
ment had not exposed It's hand very
fully and Prosecutor Armes stated that
he was quite willing TO putin testimony
to show further deficiencies. Mr.. Cook
did not offer and defense. "The prose
cution, he remarked, ''is at present en-.
gagged In mathematical voyage, Twill
wait until IL is consummated. Then
will know exactly what bubble / have
to touch and explode"
Judge Miller fixed the amount Of bond
at $1,000.
"The line Of the Defence" said Mr..
Cook to CRITIC reporter, "will be
that he took nothing; that II there are
any discrepancies they are the result Of
errors such as are liable to occur in the
conduct of an extensive system Of
accounts. Mr. Balls accounts have
been going to New York to be audited
monthly, and this is the first time that
any fault has been found with them.
He says himself, that he may have
made mistakes to the extent Of a. hun
dred dollars or more
With reference to suspicion which
has found some currency among Mr..
Balls friends, that he is being made
the scapegoat for other peoples mis-
doings, Mr.. Cook said; pes
II am disposed TO think that there
may be some grounds for the reports.
One man, who is in position to have
some information on the subject, re-
CARDS such state Of affairs as very
probable"

TnE CARP HuMnuG.

The introduction of the German carp
promises, in some localities, to have
about the same result among fish as the
introduction of the English sparrow has
among birds. The carp has taken the
place Of the native fish, and the ex.
change is a loss, AS result Of carp.

THE BLOoD.DRINKE ERs.

Some scientist, some extremely
thoughtful man, should write an article
on "The Evolution of the Blather-
skite," II has new and curious in
terest Just now. To the article proper
should be appended consideration of
the "Peculiarities of Post Bellum War
riors.
The new demand for such study as
the one referred to arises from the re-
cent antics of those large-mouthed per-
sonages, Generals Rosser, Early and
johnson. They are fighting just now
great deal harder than either OF them
fought in the war, and great deal
more yiciously. They are as pugnacious
as wolverines, and as lacking In ordinary
intelligence as the average occupant Of
an asylum for the feeble. minded. They
are curiosities
A year or two ago sensible men In the
North were regretting the continued
existence of a few of the class known as
wavers of the Bloody Shirt. They were
ashamed Of the group They feared
the people of the South would accept
the utteranees of the bloodthirsty but
harmless few for the views of the
majority, and that the era Of good feel
ing would be, in consequence, dc
fered. But the Bloody Shirt wavers
passed away, Peace reigned, aud the
future seemed full of promise.
Suddenly the skies were overcast
again. Following the disappearance of
the blood stained underclothinG cranks
Of the North appeared an aftermath Of
flamc-breathing Confederate generals.
Rosser and Johnson and Early are the
type, They wave what may be flag,
OF pair of trousers or q table cloth
no one knows what 1t is-butit is some.
thing as bloody as any bloody-shirt.
They are making great deal of noise.
No convulsion Of any sort need be
feared. The people OF the country at
large may be assured that the Rossers
and Johnsons and Earlys no more rep
resent Southern feeling than the ex-
tremists on the other side represented
Northern feeling. These flame -breathers
are absurd old men who imagine they
are orators, who do not realize that the
wal is over, and who like to see their
names in print. They are not edifying
spectacles, but they are harmless, They
will not fire the Southern heart, nor
anybodys heart. They are trying to
attracta little attention, that is all.
