Entertainments.

THE WORLD AaAINsT HKR.
 A vivid mslo drama, "Ths World Against Her," was presented at Proctor's last evening. The piece has few theatrically strong situations, but they are brought about by grossley improbable circumstances. The work of Agnes Villa, as Madge Carlton, suffered sadly from her obesity which she seemed to be at @ complete loss how to han. de. When she fainted and fell it was with dive, while her heels bobbed up like 8 rocking horse. Nevertheless she bore the beet and hardest work of the piece. Robert Neil, as James Carlton, spoilt many good op- portunities by overactiDg, and did not make his role, which was the principal one, nearly as attractive as did Harsy Thsyer, that of the villain, Gilbert Blair. Wadsworth Harris, ss Harold Vernon, a dude, seemed better ft- ted for his part than any of his associates for theirs. The play ends with scientific sparring contest without gloves, in which content. It is an interesting production and should be seen by big houses during tho rest of the week.
 ROSE Co0HLAN.
 Rose Coghlan will appear in Joeelyn at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow afternoon, and tomorrow evening she will be seen in her 6ne creation of Peg Wellington in Masks and Faces. She will undoubtedly be greeted by large audiences. It is said that Rose Coghlan has the largest repertoire of any actress on the stage. The number of star parts in which she has won distinction are almost countless. Her "Lady Tascel, 1" "Rosa- lind" "Beatrice" and ''Lady Gray Spanke' have long been acknowledged as superb. In her new role of Jocelyn, type of noble womanhood of the nineteenth century, she has found character worthy of her best artistic endeavcrs.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 A large audience greeted Howarth's Hiberni- ca Comedy and Specially Co. last evening. The attraction proved 0 strong ore and was received with the greatest pleasure. The two "Dans" was the play and with its ludicrous mistakes and Imaginable complications. Be- tween the ecenes of the play a panoramic view of Ireland is exhibited, showing many very beautiful pictures.
 THE sToDDARD LECTURES.
 Mir. John L. S.oddard's lecture on ssNapo- leon T." at the Hyperion Theater last even- ing was attended by very large audience, despite the rain. The lecture was a recital of the principal events in the life of Napo- leon from his birth to the time of his ooro- nation as Emperor of France. The illustra. tions were all very good, and some of them | were greeted with applause. In the next | lecture, to be given next Thursday evening. | MT. Stoddard will continue his descriptionsof | the life of Napoleon. The usual large audi ences are assured the most popular of lec- tures during the remainder of the course. l

A Tribute From General Kellogg.

A Tribute From General Kellogg.
 General s. W. Kellogg, formerly brigade commander, when interrogated yesterday by the Waterbury American said:
 "Whsn the Second regiment was reorgan- fixed in the summer of 1863 in oonsequence of the New York draft riots, and similar riots threatened In other cities, and General Kel- logg was elected as It's colonel, his first act was to appoint stephen B. Smith as his adjutant. He was then 0 sergeant in the Now Haven Grays, and had seen enough of him to be satisfied that he would make a splendid adiutant. The regiment then con- sisted of i've small companies. In two ysars' time we had twelve companies and a battery, with nearly thousand men in the ranks. He moro than fulfilled my antisipa- tions in the efficiency and faithfulness of his work as an sdjutant. I well remember" says General Kellogg, "our conversation at the time was appointed brigadier general In 1868. He desired to go with me as him do 90. But have seen enough of his military qualities and the energy and tact with which he performed all his duties, to know that he ought to stay in the service which he 90 much loved. told him frankly that did not think 1t the best thing for him to 90 with me; that should probably resign in two or three years and that if he was on my stan he would drop out with me, as he would be out of the line of promotion in the regiment, and that if he remained as adjutant In the regiment had seen enough of him and his work to know that he would soon be on the way to the command of the regiment. He followed my advice, though it was with great mutual regret that we parted our official re- lations. The result Is known to all who take any interest in our excellent National Guard. He became major, iieutenant-colonel and colonel within the next five years, and to him more than to any other man in this genera ton the State and the Connecticut National Guard are indebted for the present and past efficiency of that organization. We remained fast and ardent friends and was with him much e . gratiAed witness of his success and the applause and admiration he and his regi- ment won at home and in their excursions to other States and cities.

TAKE THE BEST INVESTMENT.

Mr.. Wherry's resolution providing for
the investment of the State sinking funds,
in United States bonds, was reported fa-
vorably yesterday. Of the general purpose
of the resolution, to prevent the sinking
funds from lying idle in the treasury, there
can be no criticism. But the teleg aphic
abstracts Of the resolution create the i'm
preston that it is detective in failing to
give authority to invest the funds in State
bonds, also. Possibly this point is provided
for, in which case the resolution is unex-
ceptional; but if not the amendment should
be made. 1t is a cogent principle that for
a States funds there can be no better in
vestment than its own bonds. At the pres
ent quotations the State 6ves yield, we be-
heve, about 81 per cent investment,
while Government bonds yield but little
over per cent interest So long as these
prices retain this relative position all the
State bonds offering should be purchased.
1t is right to say that the funds must be put
into some interest-bearing security; but to
put them into the one yielding the least on
the investment would be a mistake only
less in degree than to keep them idle alto
gether.

A TRANSITION PERIOD.

The published report to the English ad-
miralty showing that the English vessels
of the class which has been copied in sew
eral of our new vessels, possess serious de-
fects, corroborates an argument that THE
DISPATCH has frequently presented in re-
gard to naval construction. That is that, in
dealing with vessels that are evidently in a
transition stage, it will be wisdom and
economy to build, at the most, one of a class
until the most effective form of war vessels
is fully settled. 1t will serve the purposes
of this nation if we supply ourselves with
swift, unarmored cruisers, and adequate
means of harbor defense, until the enduring
type Of heavy fighting ships is fully fixed.
The success which seems to attend on the
experiments with dynamite cruisers, sug-
gests also that it may well to give American
ingenuity some scope in developing the new
ideas of naval warfare.

SINNERS AT WHOLESALE.

The petition presented in the License
Court yesterday, before the hearing of the
application for license to sell liquor at
wholesale, contains matter which deserves,
and will be sure to receive, attention from
His Honor, Judge White. In the course of
the hearing of the retail cases week or
two ago well-known attorney asserted that
there was more liquor being sold by men
without license than by the licensed saloon
keepers in this county. This was grave
statement; and it appears to be corrobO-
rated, in great degree, by the Department
of Public Safety in its petition.
The charges against some of the brewers,
distilIers and wholesale dealers, as pre-
sented by the city authorities, are that
liquor has freely been sold by them to men
without license; that liquor has been de-
livered to suspicious places, such as unoc-
eupied houses, river craft, cigar stores and
disorderly houses; that the packages have
been marked deceptively, and that liquor
has been sold in small quantities to any ap-
plicant without question. As the city Off
cials point out, these infractions of the law
are fruitful of general disregard of its
provisions among the people. They must
be stopped.
1t must be made plain that any wholesale
liquor merchant who indulges in such
practises will be liable to have his license
revoked, and to be made ineligible to hold
license again. Doubtless the License Court
will make this very clear to the parties con-
cerned.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-04-11

lovers can snap their fingers at the law as
well, and seek safety from its penalties in
the placid seclusion of Philadelphia. Penn
sylvania and New York could not prohibit
elopements unless they adopted some legis-
lative project for infusing iced milk or some
such cold liquid into the veins of the youth
of the land. How much less could legisla-
tion of that sort be effective in State where
an evenings drive or a half hours ride on
the cars will carry the fugitive lovers be-
yond the border.
The Delaware Legislature should tackle
something simple and easy. 1t might try
to persuade the Delaware river to flow to-
ward the sea with a rapidity that would be
perceptible, or even put restraint upon
the wild Imagination of the peach crop liar;
but it will not be able to prevent lads and
lasses from clipping, when the disturbed
course of true love indicates that path to
marriage, while youthful human nature
retains its present impulses.
