De well advertised, and which should
bring the Boston champion aud the
Baltimore challenger together, after he

trains TO distant New Orleans. The
statement of the fact that, in the heat of
summer, these pugilists were carried TO
the hottest part of the country, at great
cost and with great noise, To do "a

enough the nature of the whole scheme.

What the Lawyers Say.

The Philadelphia people are favored
with statement Of the number of Read
ing railroad lawyers who have agreed
that the company has right TO extend
its railroad to Twelfth and Market streets
from Broad aud Callowhill, without
asking leave Of the city councils.
Every lawyer belonging to the road from
President Keiln, of the coal and iron
company, who is hauled into the list,
down TO the youngest one Of those who
have ever earned a fee from the road,
and up to Gowen, who was once its
great ! am, y is declared TO have said
that there is no doubt whatever of the
power of the road TO do the thing, and
II is going ahead to do it.
We will venture the bet of big apple
that none of the good lawyers on the
Reading list ever gave such an opinion.
The company may make break to
force its road through, n II threatens to
do, and II can hire the services Of all
these lawyers to help it to do II for IT Is
notable quality of the lawyer in gen
eral that he is as ready TO fight for what
he knows TO be wrong, in law or morals,
as for what he thinks to he right and
often he is more willing, since the wrong
10 be done gives him an excuse for
charging bigger fee, by way of salve to
the conscience he claims TO have, when
he goes to church, but docs not take
with him TO his office.
1t is clear TO any mans good sense
that il must be Il very doubtful right
which the Reading or any other railroad
company claims To cross the streets OF
city at will, without consent of the city's
legislature. such right is clearly, in
our Judgment, contrary TO public policy
and If 50 il can find no protection in the
law. II Is a notable illustration of the
weakness of this claim on the part of
the Reading, that the declaration in its
of some point in Philadelphia is quoted
as authority for its claim to make
a fresh terminus in the city, after
1t has for so many years had a
fixed terminus. The claim, if sound,
would throw the whole of Philadelphia,
in its every part, open TO its changing
terminals, through all ages, and enable
1t 10 wind its snake like form through
every section
With all this power centred upon II by
the simple words of its charter, the peo-
pie of Philadelphia are, perhaps, to he
congratulated that it proposes To run
into them with an elevated aud not
surface road. OF course its charter right
TO seek a new terminal, if ii
exists, Il for II surface road
terminal. An elevated road was not
then contemplated, and the charter
does not cover the right 10 build ii Just
as the right to run Il charcoal furnace
does not carry the right to use stone
coal but i'm its beneficence the rail
road is willing 10 trade surface for an
elevated road in the city and the city
is expected to say amen and be thank
full. We have heard of good many
silly railroad undertakings but this of
taking possession Of town without the
consent of its councils is much the most
-fooaeh and the illustrious names of the
noble army of hired lawyers said to back
the scheme do not shake this convic.

now that same people, then few and fees
bic, now great and strong, are qdietly'
submitting TO taxation without repre-

trace Of a right 10 tax or the least claim
of any service rendered by the taxing
party. The increase of the price ofsugdr
has nothing in the worldtojustify it hut
the false right Of might. The trust con-
trois the sugar trade, and we must pay

by council in which we have no voice

this matter the trust is our ruler and we
have only to let these trusts alone for

II lisa remarkable coincidence that sub
iects another Johnstown to the ravages of
food and the destructive power Of the
water rushing out of bursted dams. III
there are any more Johnstowns in the
country that lie in valleys and beneath
dams. we should think that they would
feel like promptly changing their names,
as they cannot well change their places.
The dams and the clouds are apparently
opposed TO the calm contemplation of
JohnStowns beneath them: clouds burst
and dams burst and Johnstowns go.

ure TO record a little incident of recent
occurrence in which the revolver figured
gloriously. Courageous Mrs. keuter, of
Missouri, was alone nj the farm house
when atramp of dangerous aspect appeared
and began to behave with alarming inso-
lcnce. The lady ran To the table drawer
where the much-abuSed revolver lay ready
loaded with seven ball cartridges of large
caibre. She cooked the weapon ard or
dered the tramp to keep quiet She then
formed him In line and marched him out
on the road and then to the railroad
Keeping close behind him, she continued
the procession for two miles along the

mentality is more effective in securing
this end than the maintenance of pub
lie library on broad and generous basis.
But in addition to these advantages, who
can doubt that the public library secures
to the city or town in which it is located
a full return for all reasonable appropria-
tions in more orderly, intelligent and
useful population Who can doubt that
pauperism and crime are lessened by its
influence, and that every moral and
social. as we'll as material, interests pro-
noted?
In addition to an appeal for funds for
the purchase OF new books, the library
directors request the donation to the
library of books and magazines, of which
thev guarantee to take the best care.
There should be in this city so 600 books
in private collections, which could be
added to the public library without loss
to the present owners.
A subscription list for those who desire
to donate money to the library will be
found at the Librarians s desk, in the pub
lie library, now situated in the Downey
block, corner of Temple and Spring
streets. Those donating books should
also leave them there or send word as
to where they can be sent for. Sub.

the undersigned directors, and public
acknowledgment will be made of the same.

..The Little Tycoon -

Charming music, pure, sparkling dia-
logue, harmonious choruses, pretty girls
and elegant wardrobe, with stage setting
to match, all contribute their part in
making The Little Tycoon an interesting
comic opera" The above is the way
the San Francisco Chronicle expressed
itself regarding Millard Spenser's popular
work the day after its opening in that
city. The Examiner added thus: "With
all these attributes, backed by one of the
best acting and singing companies seen
or heard ia San Francisco for years, it is
not to be wondered at that the large au-
dience which assembled in the Bush
street Theater instantly voted The Little
Tucoon a success. This week the lovers
oil comic opera will have the first oppor-
tunity of seeing The Little Tycoon in Los
Angeles, at the Grand Opera House.
Many people who have thought Willard
Spenser wrote The Little Tycoon in imi-
tation of The Mikddo will be interested in
the following sketch The Little Tycoon was
written and copyrighted five years before
it was produced and, it is claimed by the
author, that Gilbert & Sullivan got the
Japanese idea on which The Mikado was
founded from The Tycoon. Like all
American authors, Mr.. Spenser encoun-
tered many obstacles and experienced a
great deal OF trouble in having his opera
produced. 1t was first submitted to Gil
bert & Sullivan's agent, Colonel Morse,
who took the work to England. 1t re-
mained in his keeping seven months,
when he returned it with letter stating
il wss impossible to get an opening for it
in London. In the meantime The Mi
Eado was produced and seemed a sue
cess. He at once set about to secure an
American production for the opera and
took it to Miles & Barton, then managers
OF the Biiou, New York. They deliber-
ated several weeks, but owing to the
continued success of AdoniS, Spenser was
compelled to go elsewhere. The late
John Duff was the next manager TO
whom it was offered. He kept the
several weeks and returned
it without even perusing it. Emma Alb
bott offered to buy it outright, but Spenser
refused to sell. Colonel McCaull praised IT.
highly but did not think well enough Of
Il to produce it. Spenser finally became
tired of the New York managers with
their grand promises and wandered

Runaway Hack

Hack No. 2S6, driven by bov, created
considerable excitement on Fort street
last evening. At the corner of First the
boy whipped up mis- horses and they
started on a dead run toward Second
street. 1t appeared that they were too
much for the boy, and Officer Hawley
brought them to standstill just as they
were about to dash into the First Pres
byterian Church. No one was hurt.
