| The New York Herald of the 9th inst.
announces that there are now over 16C
companies organizing to ''tour the coun-
| try" with farce-comedies, and that they
are backed only by cheek. This is a
promised affliction from which all people
should beseech to be delivered. If there
is any efficacy in prayer, all fair-sized
communities should be down upon their
marrow bones over this announcement.
| The so-called farce-comedy" upon
what authority or by what excuse the
term was created none can tell-when it
| first took the stage was pardoned for its
novelty and extravaganza. 1t took the
people some little time to find out just
the depths of the nuisance. They dis
covered after time that this usurper of
dramatic fields was an overpour from the
melodeon, the low concert-hall and the
dive. Of course, just enough of pruning
was INDUCED in and enough of finish
given to prevent the thing being Kissed

the shape of farce-comedies some satires
and travesties that embodied real wit,
and by their trenchant cuts at public
follies and society fads and fallacies won
a degree of decent recognition, and still
satisfied the vulgar taste by introducing
variety business, colored tights and one
fourth dressed women. But the country
has been flooded by farce-comedies that
are simply amazing for the idiocy of
authorship to which they bear witness,
and now the Herald tells US $50 new
companies are preparing to swell the
flood until it becomes a deluge. OF course
a censorship of the stage is not to be now
thought of in this country, but we should
not be surprised to hear of a reaction
among theater-goers that will spew out
this abomination and leave the managers
who offer it financially in the lurch 1t
is not unreasonable to expect this kind
of hog wash to turn the public stomach
after awhile. That it should have en-
dured it so long as it has is surprising.
We welcome the advent of these $50 new
farce-comedy companies with their slang,
yulgarity, nakedness and low punning
as aids that will hasten the day of deliv-
erance. They may operate upon the
public stomach as an emetic does upon
the overloaded and abused private one.
1t is simply impossible for civilization to
advance and have the farce-comedy
abreast of it. 1t must be relegated to the
low level of retrogression to which it be-
longs, or the legitimate drama abandon
the stage. There is not room for both
upon it for great length of time.

THE arrest of Carleton Graves at May
ence on suspicion of being a spy busy
in gaining knowledge of the Mayence
fortress, should teach Americans who go
abroad through Europe that in this Pc
riod of Eastern unrest it is dangerous to
travel with a Photographic camera
strapped to ones shoulder. Amateur
photography in this country is innocent
enough, but when Europe is under threat
of war, that harmless amusement cannot
be INDUCED in there in the vicinity of
military strongholds with impunity.

The impudence of the man O'Donno-
van Rossa in demanding of the United
States Government special protection
against arrest during contemplated trip
to Ireland is coarse effrontery. Rosa
knew perfectly well that there was no
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain stipulating that American
citizens shall be free from arrest for
crimes committed in this country that
across the water are recognized as polit-
ical offenses. In the very nature of things
he knew that there could be no such
treaty, and his assumption of belief that
there was, was intended TO reawaken in
terest in most unimportant individual,
who has been dropping out of sight of
late rapidly.

A CHILDISH EsCAPADE.

Young People, on Being Refused License,
Pass as Married Pair.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, July 4.-Craw-
fordsville is greatly stirred up over the bad
break made by couple of her young people
yesterday. Allison Dodd, aged IS, and
Miss Mary Quinlan, aged Is, took the morn
ing train for Danville, Ill, and sent word
from that place by wire to their parents
that they were married. Although the
parents had bitterly opposed the match,
they concluded to make the best of bad
business, and when the young folks re-
turned in the evening they were rendered a
reception at the home of the brides father,
Thomas Quinlan, a wealthy contractor.
The silly young people told everyone
that they were married until to-day, when
it was discovered that they had been refused
license in Illinois and were not married
at all. The young people still maintain
that they were married, but cannot give the
name of the minister or show the proper
papers. The authorities at Danville deny
issuing them license, and the affair has
caused great scandal here, where both the
children are so well known, and their fool
ish and inexcusable action has almost crazed
their relatives.

SCENES OF FORMER DAYS.

An Old Pittsburger Tells of Trip to Phil
adelphia Before the Advent of Rail-
roads-Across the State by Canal and
Stage.
ct received rather an interesting letter
from an old Pittsburger the other day, -
said well-known citizen yesterday. "He
is now resident of Florida, and is at pres
ent laid up with sore leg, caused by an
old wound received in the late unpleasant
ness, and will not be out for ten weeks or
more. The poor fellow seems to be in hard
luck at present. Not having been
able to work for some time
he Is naturally out of money.
The people there are all poor and very
selfish, so that he has to look elsewhere for
assistance. Having nothing to do he wrote
me of a trip he made when boy that can
not be duplicated to-day. 1t is as follows:
"'When I was boy steamboating was al
most in its infancy. My uncle was mer-
chant in Louisville, KY, and had occasion
to visit Philadelphia to buy goods. We
left Louisville on boat commanded
by Captain William Forsythe, in
after years known by all river
men. The vessel was a side-wheeler
with one engine and geared in the center of
the shaft. The trip up was slow and tedious,
stopping every now and then for the hands
to cut wood for fuel. The machinery broke
once and caused several days delay while 10
was being repaired. Stops would be made
at little stores for provisions. We finally
reached Beaver Shoals The water was
very low and the boat got aground. We
also ran out of wood, and the hands had to
carry supply from the shore, wading
through the water to reach the boat.
"'Two deck hands did something that made
the captain mad and he threw them over
board. They sued the captain for an attempt
to kill. We were all held in Pittsburg
for 10 days as witnesses. Both sides had
lawyers whose names have since become re-
nowned. Judge Mcclure was the attorney
for Captain Forsythe and Col Sam Black
and Neal Darrow for the hands, The cap
tain gained the suit, proving that the water
was only IL or IA inches deep for half
mile around the boat The trip occupied
about four and a halfweeks. We stopped in a
tavern on Smithfield street, near where the
Monongahela House now stands. We took
a stage at Pittsburg to Hollidaysburg, via
Greensburg and Johntown. From there
we went on canal boat down the Juniata
to the Susquehanna to Columbia and from
there to Philadelphia by stage coach. The
goods purchased were shipped by canal to
Hollidaysburg and from there by wagon to
Pittsburg, the canal west of the mountains
not being finished. We went from Pitts
burg to Kittanning in a keel boat. There
were no steamboats, on the Allegheny
river at that time or on the. Monongahela
either.
"'we visited relatives at Kittanning.
They operated furnace and afterward built
a rolling mill. 1t was wild country then,
Pittsburg being small village. New York
was small city, and everybody in the West
bought supplies in Philadelphia. My grand
father was with General Braddock when
he was killed at Braddocks Field. My peo-
pie were in Pennsylvania for few days at
least. Signed: Stick in the Mud or Old

Harris Theater.

The Standard Dramatic Company will be
again at Harris Theater this week, as their
performance of the 1.-TWO Orphans" last
week, met with such liberal patronage
that Harris, Britton & Dean re-en-
gagged the company. This week they will
appear in a new comedy drama entitled
"Fair Play" The plot is one which excites
the interest of an audience all through the
performance and the dialogue never lags,
but is sparkling and is full of pungent say
ings. A number of clever specialties will
be introduced, and from the meritorious
work of the Standard Dramatic Company,
it is fair to presume that they will give an
artistic and pleasing performance this week.

AL concerned in printing and allied trades

printed in America, perhaps faccid public
opinion will be stiffened up to decisive
action in the next session. 1t Is worthy of
note that Germany and Spain are not mem
toned in President Harrisons proclama-
tion, though both German and Spanish are
living languages in America.
