The departure from the county Jail OF
the alleged proprietress of speak-easy, who es.
capped trial by the window route, is rather en-
barrassing to the jail authorities. But the pub.
lie will endure the loss with the philosophical
reflection that this result will close up that par
ticular illegal liquor saloon as effectually as by
any other means.

ONE effect of the Mckinley bill is sar-
castically pointed out by the Brooklyn Citizen
to be the decrease of crime in Kings county,
N. Y, where there were only q convictions
during the month after it was reported. But
as the bill has produced a more than proper
tionate state of general reprobation in the edi-
torial rooms of Democratic organs, we fear
that this credit cannot be allotted to the tariff
measures.

There was a r action, of course, when the
public learned 'he facts. No palpable iniqui-
~ stands long against popular indignation
when the pullc is once thoroughly satisfied
that il is an II putty, and in this matter there
wasNo chanc for an argument. The reac-
ton took th' form of a Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty TO Children, - which was
modelled after Mr.. Henry Bergh's famous So
ciery for Il o protection of brutes.
Ii is presided over by a very wealthy gen
tleman named Elbridge 7. Gerry, who is
equally ecentric and equally conscientious
with Mr.. Bergh. The cause he e~spoused was
70 obviously p~raiseworthy that the society
found no trouble IN procuring the passage Of
numerous laws intended for the protection
Of the little ones, and very little trouble in
getting extraordinary powers delegated TO
its officers in the execution Of those laws.
Among the statutes alluded TO was the one
just mentioned, relative 10 the employment
Of children under sixteen years Of age in
theatrical performances and the like.
Ii Will surprise a large portion Of the pub

The latest instance in which this theatrical
business has been interfered with Is the play

children are drawn on the stage in a big char
lot representing a shoe. They jump out from
the shoe, sing Ring a Rosy" aud ''The old
woman who lived in a SHOE aud run off.
Mr.. Gerry prohibited this. The manager APP
pealed to the mayor Of the city. The mayor,
under the advice OF the corporation counsel,
refused 10 sanction the performance. The
manager ,iciled arrest and went OH with the
regular performance after obeying the law
for Two weeks. So far no one has been ar.
rested.
What does the public think' So far as |
can learn the theatrical public, managers and
audiences alike, believe there Is no harm in
violating the law, provided the children are
not o~verworkel or abused in any other way.
Certainly the audiences are pleased with the
performances, for a clever child actor will
draw better than almost any other card
known. No one, however, pretends to say
that the law sanctions their appearance, and
from time To time the society causes some
ones arrest. Beyond that the law is never
taken into account. DAVID A. CURTIS.

Drifting Apart an emotional play that
has just been played for a short engagement
in Harlem, has a child's part in it which was
taken by Mabel Earle, who is almost a baby,
but who does such work as adults find sufii-
cient for their powers. The part Is a long
one, and there is a death scene in il which,
acted as she acts. is a strain on the nerves
that would he severely felt by anybody.

Tuesday" although only three and a half
years old, selected her W. name. Her par
ents called her Little Tootsy, but she changed
it, and they acquiesced in the change. She
is spoken Of by Mrs. Fernandez, who has
trained all or nearly all the children now on
the American stage, including her own
daughter, Bijou Fernandez, as a truly won
derful child. She sings, recites and dances
with remarkable ability, and gives an imita-
ton Of Richard Mansfield in Richard Ill
such as few actors can equal. She has al
ready appeared In public at an authors mat

for she Is almost "A woman in size; but her
mother tells me she is only II years old, and
! don't know where to find u more competent
witness. Yet Bijou, who Is now playing the
part of a singing page in As You Lake IL"
at Days, has been a public performer for
over nine years. She took the part Of Puck
In the same theatre some years ago, and, In
showing how she would put a grille ''round
the earth in forty minutes, v swung across the
stage, from fly to fly. on a flying trapeze.
On one occasion, when Mr.. Gerry was wit
Messing this performance, the child narrowly
escaped death by an accidental fire. He has
never intsrfered with her performances.
