A sewer Nuisance.

Property holders connected with the
sewer extending through the alley be-
tween Second and Thiid avenues from
Sixteenth street east 10 Seventeenth
street and to the Fourth avenue outlet,
are subject to considerable annoyance by
reason of the inade9uacY of the pipe to
carry the volume of sewage. The council
ordered new sewer built last fall by
special assessment; the contract was
awarded and part of the work done. 1t
was feared that cold weather would inter.
fere and work was stopped Now the old
sewer has become clogged again and the
property holders have been put to an ex-
pense of about SEQ to have it cleaned out
They naturally feel aggrieved at the in
convenience and expense they are suffer-
ing In not having a sewer of sufficient
capacity, and no doubt will petition the
council TO complete the new sewer at
once and pay the expense of cleaning out
the old one.

At the Theatre

Blind Tom. the colored musical prodi-
gy, appeared at Harpers the atre before q
large audience last evening, and creat-
ed wonder. amusement and delight for
two hours. Tom is as wonderful
freak of nature rs ever. He appeared on
the stage alone. intro iuced himself in his
old amusing way and did all bis own an
nouncing. using the third person, evil
IDENTIFY initiating the language of his man.
sger of years ago. He plays with skill,
taste and power. One of the most agree
able efforts was the imitation of music
box, wherein a most delicate touch was
shown. In response to Al invitation
to any one in the audience 10 play Sc
lection that he might show his wonderful
initiative genius and memory. Miss Eva
Hass played difficult selection which
Tom reproduced perfectly. He also
demonstrated his strange faculties in
detecting sound by spelling. He
produced pieces of his own cOmpo>
sition, selections from the great mas,
ters, and when he played Yankee
Doodle" with one hand, The Hornpipe"
with the other and sang Tramp, Tramp,
Tramp" simultaneously, the audience
went wild with enthusiasm and delight.
Tom has a peculiar way Of clapping his
own selections just as the audience does.
and he explains this as due % his irre-
sistibe disposition to initiate every sound
that comes to his ear. He shows all his
old time antics and shows in his every
act that he Is simply machine endowed
by nature with genus for the imitation
of sound such as science and endeavor no
matter how great. can never equal. When
very young Tom was delighted at seeing
any one in pain, and he is to day. When
he heard his mother beat the elder chill
dren he would laugh and csper and rub
his hands In an ecstacy of delight and
soon would be found whipping himself
and repeating the words of his mother
and the cries OF the children. He enjoyed
so highly the cries of the children that he
would inflict pain on them for the pleas
uIe of hearing them cry.
Tonight one of the best productions OF
the season Is to be given in the spectacu>
lar attraction THE Waits o. New York. y
This is an exceptionally strong drama.
The central figure is Miss Katie Emmett,
who is an actress of rare merit. She is
eminently suited to the part of willie

The character of Little Gertie." OF

child actress is by no means the smallest
feature Of the really excellent company.
Indeed every character is in good hands
and the play throughout cones with the
