splendid comic opera organization bearing
his own name, appears at the Bijou

note and is likewise the possessor of splendid
voice. In "Castles in the Air'' he is afforded
every opportunity to display his vocal as well as
mirth-provoking powers. Mr.. Hopper. not un-
like that FdLstaG he initiates in the piece, is
not only humorous in himself, but is also the
cause Of the humor in others, and it is said

with the audience, profitable to the manage
ment and remarkable in the methods of comic

Pinkertons. On being brought before the
Police Court his counsel produced evidence
that he had already been tried and acquitted
of the offense for which he was under arrest.
The justice ordered the man to be dis
charged, but Detective Pinkerton refused to
discharge him and proceeded to put hand
cuffs on the prisoner in the presence Of the
Court. The Justice ordered him to take the
handouts of, and he refused TO do so. A
struggle between the detective and his pris-
oner ensued, the officers of the court look
ing on quietly, and finally the all-powerful
Pinkerton bore off his prisoner in triumph.
This practical assertion by Pinkerton
detective of the power to overrule the
orders of the Courts of Justice, and to take
away the liberty of a man discharged by
legal authority, is a little the most wanton
defiance Of law that has been perpetrated
by those who pretend to be the upholders of
law. 1t is to be noticed that this assertion
OF illegal power is only made possible by an
equal display OF puerility on the part of the
Court in this instance. Ii the Court and its
officers. where this little incident occurred,
had been worth their salt, this detective
would have been under arrest very soon
after he commenced to defy the orders OF
the Court

The wedding day Is at last announced of Miss
Margaret Boyle, the noted beauty of Ellsworth

coal merchant. November 25 is the date de-
cided upon for this interesting and important
event, and it is to be celebrated at the home of
the brides parents with all the nicely and per-
fection of detail that wealth and cultivated
taste can suggest.

Miss Boyle shared quite equally the admira-

Mr.. Brown holds an exalted position in the

worthy in every way the charming BRIDE he is
securing. After the marriage they will occupy
the elegant new homo on Forbes street that Is

previous assertions of power by the private

BONNYS STORY.

BROOKLYN Citizen: The fact that Bonny is
not an intense admirer of Stanley adds force
to the remarkable statement he makes.
PHILADELPHIA Bulletin: Bonny. who was
with it to the end, corroborates all Stanley's
charges, with some changes in details, and says
Barttelot was undoubtedly insane.
NEW YORK Sun: Bonny has drawn a very
black picture 1t is no wonder that Stanley
kept it from the public gaze until the rash at
tacks of Barttelot's family forced him to the
exposure of the CHASTITY history.
NEW YORK Star: Perhaps the affair will not
be so wholly deplorable ifir shall be accepted as
lesson to future explorers that those who
would be masters Of nature and of their in
feriors must first be masters of themselves.
NEW YORK Star: 1t is hard to see how Bon
ny,s testimony can be broken down. He Is
now the only living white officer of the ll-fared
rear column who knows from his own personal
experience the history Of those terrible months
at Yambuya.
NEW York Tribune: Mr.. Stanley's accusa-
tions against Jameson and Barttelot are cor
roborated in detail by the only surviving officer
whom he found at Yambuya upon his return
from Lake Albert. Bonny is his chief witness,
and offers testimony which, unless i'm
peached. will be decisive.
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer: Bonny, who was
the eyewitness of these disgusting details tells
a story that corroborates that of Stanley
which is backed up by documents and the
unanimous testimony of the natives. The only
charitable conclusion is that the Major was
insane Otherwise he was inhuman.
BROOKLYN Standard Union: In word, the
yindication of Mr.. Stanley comes most oppor-
tunely, and is conclusive and crushes his enc
mics He stands forth heroic; for where he
has been accused of falsehood and malice he
has shown the precious quality of generosity
and the lofty manliness of noble forbearance.
PHILADELPHIA Press: Mr.. Henry NJ. STAN
ley is thoroughly corroborated and sustained
by Mr.. Bonny in the terrible charges brought
against Major Barttelot and Mr.. Jameson. We
doubt il anyone can read the narration Of
Major Barttelot's conduct without reaching
the charitable conclusion that the Inflated off,
Ger was insane.

THE CHARGE OF MANIPULATION.

The improved tone of the New York stock
market, yesterday. which developed into an
actual upward movement on some stocks,
at the same time that the London market
continues to show weakness and decline, is
significant of the conclusion that a great
Share Of the recent complication was due to
manipulation. No doubt tine foreign
trouble afforded the opportunity for the
squeeze; but the surface indications leave
little doubt that the trouble was exagger-
ated and the depression increased bv Ger.
tain great operators who were bearing stocks
for their own benefit.
In view Of the evident presence of mani
pulation, a great deal of cogency is given to
the inquiry of the Investigator, an out
Of the conference of Mr.. Jay Gould and
other railway magnates at Drexel, Morgan
& Co. s office last week. The participants
in the con erence avowedly engaged in an
effort to establish big railway
combination. If they used their i'm
mense financial power TO squeeze
the stock market, they might as
q result Duyt up enough STOCK III the lines
that are at present beyond their control, to
make the scheme successful; and then with
the combination put in operation, they
could lay the foundation for a great bull
movement, with view of unloading their
stocks at high tide. Having, by this opera
zion, transferred millions of money to their
own pockets, they would be in a position to
repeat the squeezing process with greater
power than ever.
This theory of the panic, coming from a
Wall street source and agreeing with the
kuowa facts, is an interesting one. 1t Illus
trates the fact that railway combinations
and railway wars generally have big stock
manipulation in the back ground. 1t would
also if true, show the men who make the
most noise about preserving stock values

A FUNNY MANS TALK.
Bob Burdette Combines Politics and Humor
in His InimitabIe Manner.


Bob Burdette was there last evening-at the
Third U. z. Church-and created any amount
OF amusement bemoaning the fact that at
previous lecture reported as given by him in
that church he alone of all others did not re-
celve an invitation to be present.
Mr.. Burdett was introduced by Mr.. Percy
Smith, who said the lecturer would speak upon
'Ihe PIlgrimages of Funny Man." and not
the funny pilgrimage of the many men who
assembled recently to hear lecture that didn't
materialize A large audience of Intelligent,
refined people greeted MIR. Burdette, and the
peals of laughter that followed his remarks
were SO contagious that he himself Joined in
them. His lecture, though delivered in the
city before, was not at all stale. freshened up,
as it was, by jokes regarding the recent cleo
tion, Mckinley bill, and even the impromptu
squeaking of a window that enabled him to
make point whereby he brought down the
house. so to speak.
According to Mr. Burdette the life of a funny
man-whether professional or non-professional
is not life of unadulturated pleasure, as
humor is the reflex action of severe mental
strain and trouble. Instances were cited to
prove the theory advanced, and the lives of
Hood. Lamb and Warner were briefly reviewed
in conclusion. Mr.. Burdette was in excellent
trim, but said confidentially that he hadn't a
polite left. as it were. that he had not recov-
cred sufficiently from his stunnedness to realize
there was such a thing in existence.

obscured the surrounding country. and the
silence was only broken by the rattle of falling
leaves as the body was lowered into the grave.
There was no audible prayer delivered. and the

SWIFT CANADIAN JUSTICE.

Unless something extraordinary inter-
venes Birchall, the murderer, will be hanged
in Canada to-day. Although the ingenuity
of the rascally criminal has availed to raise
cloud of doubt about the case
Birchall's guilt has been settled.
Canadian justice does not waste
time with guilty men, and within
four months of the murders doing, and
about six weeks after the sentence, Birchall
will be hanged. So long as the death
penalty remains, this is the best way to
carry it out. The speed and directness OF
aYenging justice makes it exemplary.
