THE TRUSTS AGAINST THE LAW.

The case which has arisen in New Orleans
involving the legality of the American Bis
cult Company, corporation under which
the control of large number of cracker
factories in various sections of the country
is combined, promises to add another to the
long list of trust cases. The firm in New
Orleans which became part of this corpora
ton, now comes into court asserting that it
is an illegal combination, formed to stife
competition, aud asking to have their
property restored to them from the control
Of the trust. If the combination is as al
legged there is no doubt that the contract
will be declared illegal. That is the uni
versal holding of long line OF decisions, of
which the Louisiana Courts have given
some of tbe most radical. There is no
trouble in finding decisions against the
trusts, but Tie phenomenal feature is the
way in which business people go on organiz-
ing them contrary to law. This is matched
by the fact that with combinations forming
in all kinds Of industries, we have yet to
near of single effort to punish them by ap-
peaIing to the antitrust law passed at the
last session Of Congress.

THEY COME DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Lady Managers of the Worlds Fair Formu-
late Their Desires.

CHICAGO, November 24-The Board of Lady
Managers of the Worlds Fair resumed its ses-
sion this morning. Some of the ladies advo
Gated separate exhibit for women, but others
said that such course would be fatal to the
interests of the sex which they interested
Mrs. John A Logan urged that business be
hurried through.
Ladies, if we defer action much longer, we
shall be the laughing stock of the Nation"
said She Every day we stay here costs the
Nation over 81 900. Let US do something and
save ourselves from ridicule."
Other ladies were of the opinion that they
had been brought here, and should
take their time to do their work
well. aesolutlon by Mrs. Ginty that
managers go before their respective Stale
Legislature to ask for appropriations for the
workmen's portion of the exposition, was laid
on the table. The board then got to work on
the formulation of its ideas OF what it wanted
to ask from the Commissioners, the presenta-
tion of resolutions to this end being intercepted
occasionally to listen to addresses by Miss
Frances E. Willard. Miss Harriet Hos
mer and others. Among the matters
proposed by different members of the board to
be requested, are that an administrative build
ing for the use of the board be erected on the
fair grounds: that there should not be
separate building for the exhibition of womans
work; that the salary of the secretary be
S.. 900; that every exhibit be accompanied with
a statement that the said exhibit is or s not
produced in whole or in part by female labor"

BELMONT's MANY SIDES.

1t is not as banker or i statesman alone
that August Belmont will be remembered,
although he will be greatly missed in New
York's financial circles and In the councils
of the Democratic party. To the last hours
OF his life August Belmont was deeply
interested in the breeding and racing of
horses, and the cold which developed
fatally into pnuemonia singularly enough
he caught at the horse show in New York.
lie was that rare thing: an honest lover Of
the turf No suspicion ever fell upon his
racing stables: his horses carried his colors
to victory or defeat with honor. As Presi-
dent Of the American Jockey Club his in
iiuence was powerfully exerted for honest
racing, and some material reforms were the
result of his efforts.
The diversity ct Belmonrs attachments
end tastes has been frequently remarked.

COMEDY TRIUMPHANT.

Pixley-yariety of Several Sorts-Ovide

Stuart Robson in New Comedy-Annie
PixIey-Variety of Several Sorts-Ovide
Musin-The Towns Amusements.
A three-act comedy by Archibald D. Gordon
and Ad Corbett entitled, '1s Marriage Fail
ure?" was the vehicle chosen by Stuart Robson
for his appearance at the Grand Opera House
last night. A large and very friendly audience
gave Mr.. Robson a pleasant reception and
patiently endured the play.
us Marriage a Failure?' is the old question
put into very crude dramatic form. Horace
Kent, rich young New Yorker, marries Chi.
cago girl before the play begins. His father
in-law and mother-in-law. detestabe charac-
tiers, both descend upon him in the first act and
persecute him through the whole play. His
wife is alienated from him by the flimsiest
silliest accusation imaginable and her return
to him forms the climax of the play. The
story of the play Is not in the least true to life
anywhere, and " hile Mr.. Robson as Horace
Kent is familiar type of an easy-going
American, IL is not because the authors made
the character natural, but because Mr. Robson
cannot help beng himself. For like reasons
Mr. Robson is exceedingly amusing, and in
their degree his fellow sufferers in the play are
successful also.
The first act of us Marriage Failure9" is
conspicuously superior to the rest of the play.
this act and the dialogue and situations show
fresh humcr that promised well for what was
to follow. The fun of the little supper was the
best thing of the whole piece. In this Mr..
George s. Woodward, made up most hideously
as the father-in-law, Mr.. Jasper Var
rem, shared the honors with Mr.
Robson. and if rs Marriage a Failure%' had
been a farce comedy the scenes which followed
and in which Messrs. Robson and Woodward
made great deal Of laughter. might have been
appropriate. If the play were far stronger in
construction, if the motive were not SO in
tensely dIsagreeable. if the unnecessary and
disgusting idiot son of an anomalous and nearly
impossible Chicagoan had been left out with
his father, and If the play had been provided
with few characters like unto human nature
as revealed this continent, IL would still
have coveted failure. for it is not the vocation
of comedy to be didactic to the extent sug-
gested clumsily by this play.
The company generally was swamped by the
play. but not one of them but made an heroic
effortto emerge from the slough of despond.
In pleasant contrast to the chief item on the
bill was the little curtain-raiser, Two Can
Play at that Came" which was given for the
first time last night by Messrs Edward j.
RatclIffe and Stanaus STANCE, and Miss
Eugenia Lindeman 1t is mere trifle, but it
was triumph for Miss Lindeman.

The Attacks of the Barttelot and Jameson
Families Drives Him to 1t.
BOSTON. November A.-Stanley is so lndig-
nant at the persistent assaults upon him by
the Barttelot and Jameson families that
he has resolved to depart from the
course which he had laid out, and to
lay bare the dreadful facts con-
nected with the fate of the rear guard, demon.
strating at the same time the truth of the only
charge which he has made. and that the fail
ure of the real column was due to the indiffer-
ence of its officers, and to their violation of his
written instructions.
The recent charges made by Harry QuiIter
and said to have occasioned much comment in
London. are that Stanley broke open the seals
of Jamesons box, took therefrom his private
papers, and only gave them up when threat
ened with law suit In reply to this
Stanley showed the reporter letter
which he wrote Sir Francis DeWin-
ton from Cairo, on the 9Th of March, 1890, ar d
which has never before been published, con.
tanning a complete refutation of the charges
His next lecture, which will be in New York,
December 8. will in all probability be the time
for this recital.

A SLIP OF THE PEN.

The Case of the Lymph Patient is Not a
Hopeless One.
To the Editor of The Dispatch.
A due regard for the sensitive feelings of my
creditors prompts me to ask you for the cor
rection of statement in personal item printed
in your Sunday edition. The item read;
It. L. Hewitt a well-known newspaper man OF
this CITY, is going to Philadelphia to be expert
mented upon by DIR. Hare with the Professor Koch
lymph. MIR. Hewitt is in the last stages of con-
sumption, and while he hardly expects to be
cured believes that he will be a valuable subject
for the experiment.
1t is true that have made arrangements to
test the Koch remedy as soon as Dr. Hare shall
be ready to receive me. That part of the item
is correct, but your reporter makes a mistake
when he says that am in the last stages of
consumption. At least my physicians disagree
with him, and am with them in the belief that
the undertaken hasn't as sure thing on me as
your young man seems to think he has. l am
still in 1t. T. E. HEWITT.

Davis, Fifth Avenue Museum,

The attractions at Harry Davis Fifth Ave
nue. Museum this week are on a big scale. Hat
tie Davis. the biggest woman on earth. is still
the star of the curiosities, with Colonel Pickett
Nelson, the giant, and Princess Nora and Gen
eral Turnerwood as tiny colleagues. There are
plenty of novelties in the theater and a good
performance generally. There is clever act
of Japanese juggling by Yank ONO. Bailey and
O'Brien give an Irish comedy sketch. The dane
ing of Miss LaRose and the ground and lofty
tumbling of the LaRose Brothers are far better
than the average Gilmore and Morton's
sketch is amusing. and the best feature of the
whole show is the singing, dancing, and harp
playing of McCloud and Melville. In addition
to the regular theatrical performance the Ten
nessee Jubilee Singers give tuneful concert
in the geological roof garden, and altogether
the returns for dime are about as large as a
reasonable person could expect.
