ideal recognized. Mr.. Charles Loder, who leads
the company, is German comedian of recog-
nized ability. He has had marked success as a
character actor, and his efforts in the dt-
rection of merry-making have beeu re-
warded not only with praise, but with dollars.
The company includes pretty girls, clever
comedians, and specially stars in abundance.
"Hilarity'' is a musical production, too, and It's
catchy songs are so capably rendered as to have
gained the warmest compliments wherever they
have been heard. The appointments are com
pletc, and the most satisfactory performance
may be expected.
1.-THE Senator" Coming Again.
The tremendous success which has been
achieved by "The Senator as presented by w.
II. Crane aud his excellent company is the main
subject of theatrical interest in New York just
now. On Tuesday last "The Senator passed
its first anniversary, having been played by Mr..
Crane during the theatrical portion of an entire
year, covering nearly two full seasons at the
Star Theatre. 1t is an American play, dealing
with subjects of interest to Americans, and this
fact of itself gives it strong hold OH the sym
pathy of American audiences. But added to
this is the all-important element of fine acting,
and many much poorer play than ''The Sena-
tor,n presented as Mr. Crane does this comedy,
could scarcely fail to secure popular favor. The
comedian does not follow the selfish policy of
the average star, which seeks to overshadow
his company in his own Importance His own
character, that of The Senator, leads in inn
portance, of course, and 1t is presented with
that artistic finish which is characteristic of all
Mr.. Cranes work; but every member of his
company has good part, and he makes the
most It. The result of this is a smooth and
artistic performance, which is seldom looked
for from the supporting company of star
actor. The popularity of ''The SENATOR would
have been great had Mr. Crane insisted on talk
ing all the laurels to himself, and having. the
play made a one-part piece; but 1t has been
greatly increased by his liberal policy of CIV
ing his people something more to do than to
move like so many automatons about the stage,
with no apparent reason for existence except to
dress the stage.

1t is very evident that "The Merry Monarch"
has caught the peculiar favor Of Washington,
for its second engagement of the season at the
National Theatre last week called out the same
large audiences that welcomed its first appear
ance here. THE HERALD has heretofore men
toned the merits of the opera and the company
presenting it, and there is nothing to be added.
Mr.. Francis Wilson in the title role was very
funny, as usual, and Miss Marie Jansen and
Miss Laura Moore were as pretty and artistic as
ever Mr.. Charles Plunkett did his usual good
work, and Mr.. Hub Smith met with hearty re-
ception. The scenery was beautiful, the cho-
ruses large and well trained, and the costuming
extremely handsome.

HThe Dead Heart" which Mr.. James O'Neill
presented at Albaugh's Grand Opera House
last week, is the version of Mr.. Henry Irving,
and tells an interesting story of the French re-
volution. 1t is pretty however, from dra-
matte standpontin in It's lack Of continuous action.
More or less ''tallSy'' at regular and numerous
intervals, it becomes disappointing to a certain
degree in its climaxes, and thus fails to COM
mand general concentration of interest. I'm
doubtedly the drama would prove somewhat
more successful in the hands of competent
company, but under the best possible circum
stances it would be difficult to imagine that it
could be else than tiresome in its present
chopped up condition. Outside of Mr.. James
O'Neill there is no member of the cast deserving
especial commentator. Even the supernumer
airy force, upon which the play is largely de-
pendent, was badly handled.

The Distressing Case of Mrs Farrell.

Mrs. Louise J. Farrell, the unfortunate
woman who was SO terribly injured by her
drunken husband a few weeks ago. still lies in
a critical condition at the Providence Hospital.
Some hope is entertained OF her recovery,
though, in any case, it must be very slow. In
the meantime she is entirely destitute. and her
little boy, Frank W. Golden. who so braveiy
interposed to save his mother from the muir
derous rage of his step father, is dependent
upon charity for his support. Under these
circumstances il has been thought right to
appeal to the generous public on behalf of the
wounded mother and her son (also slightly
wounded), with the view of raising a sufficient
sum of money to provide for the support of
both during the necessarily long conyales-
cence of the mother. The mental relief which
would TINS be afforded her, may save her life,
or, at least accelerate her recovery.
The Rev. DIR. r. II. McKim, rector Of Epiph-
any Church, G street, has consented to be the
custodian of the fnnd, and to disburse it for
the mother and her son as they need it.
painful incident Of this case is tina. the
forefinger Of Mrs. Farrers right hand must
be emputated, and she is dependent upon
the proceeds Of her sewing, her ability TO sup
port herself, If she RECEIVERS, will be materially
affected. Contributions may be sent to Mr.
Francis Riggs at Riggs Bank, or to Rev. Dr. Il.
II. Mckim, as above stated.

The program of the morning was not a
lengthy one and the most important feature
was the reading of the presidents annual ad-
dress. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the pres
ident of the association, left for England I'M
mediately after the close Of the last annual
convention in this city a year ago and she is
still abroad. She expects, however, to return
to America during the coming summer to re-
main for the rest Of her days. Her address
came across the water all right and was read
at the meeting this morning Immediately after
the opening 1t was On the Degradation of
Disfranchisement' and was read by Miss Susan
B. Anthony, the vice president-at-large and
the inspiring parsonage Of the meeting
The NEW AMERICA.
In all the seats were slips on which were
printed songs that were written especially for
the association, and the meeting was opened
by the singing Of the New America" written
by Elizabeth Boynton Harbert. The first verse
of this suffrage paraphrase was as follows:
Our country. now from thee
Claim We our liberty.
In freedoms name.
Guarding homes altar fires,
Daughters of patriot sires,
Their zeal our own inspires
Justice to claim.

EVIDENCE IN PENSION CASES.
The Speaker yesterday laid before the House
letter from the acting commissioner of pen
sions containing reply to the resolution Of that
body requiring the commissioner of pensions
to report to the House what rules of evidence
are recognized by the Office which govern ex-
aminers in the adjudication of pension claims.
and also what is the force and effect given TO
lay testimony when unsupported by medical
or record testimony. The acting commissioner
says that IN cases where a disability. wound or
disease is alleged as having been incurred in
service the first and most important evidence
is that furnished by the hospital record
and statements from the surgeon who
had charge of the case. In its absence the AFT
davit Of the commanding officer or that of COM
rades Is accepted. Where disease is alleged
to have been the result of army service the
first and best evidence is that of the attending
physician. Wanting that the affidavit of neigh
bors or others having knowledge of the facts is
accepted as sufficient He says: Ii is not the
intention nor rule in the bureau to give undue
weight to record or medical evidence and little
weight to lay testimony: but the impossibility
Of fixing an inheXible standard by which to
guide an examiner in his work must be readily
seen and something must be left to his discre-
ton and ability.

Civil Service and the People.

From the New York World.
The politicians In Washington appear TO 10
determined TO do their best TO kill the present
civil service law. The other day a senator ca
pressed the opinion that the people are begin
ming to discover that the law is a humbug.
Any politician who supposes that he can
safely attack the Law because the people are NO
longer behind it is reckoning very foolishly
without his host.
The law is not humbug On the contrary,
il has accomplished more even than wss antiei-
pated for il by those who were instrumental in
securing its enactment. Ii has given to the
service better clerks than were ever dreamed
Of under the spoils system. IL has relieved the
heads Of departments and bureaus Of the pres
sure Of applicants and Of the opportunities Of
their political hackers and enabled them 10 de-
vote their time and energy to the publAe
service.
