ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE-"THE BURGLAR"
The four-act drama of "The Burglar" was
presented at the Grand last night to q we'll
filled house. The leading part. that of the
burglar, is taken by Mr.. A. S. Lipman, of
this city, q character which he has pre-
sented over four hundred times during the
present and last seasons. Outside the
third act, which, it may be objected. is mr.
necessarily drawn out. there is little or no
suggestion of the short and clever story of
''Editha's Burglar by Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett, but it is Zone the less a
strong dramatic representation, and
the ompany is an excellent one.
Mr.. Lipman, as the burglar, gives
o strong portrayal of the hold that a life of
criminal adventure takes upon q man, re-
attachments of wife, and child, II home.
The character of the burglars wife, as de-
picted by Miss Helen Ottolengui, was as
charming and graceful as it was pathetic.
Miss Hattie Schell as Fannie was also good.

Lipman's friends, who note his advance
ment in the profession, are pleased with
his success in 'The Burglar while having
the knowledge that he is fitted to greater
things. At ST. Paul. Mimi, something
more than two years ago. he played fifty
forty-three leading parts, beginning with
lago, a sufficiently strong illustration OF
his varied talents. 1.-The Burglar will be
repeated tonight and tomorrow night,
with a Saturday matinee.
ENGLIsH's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Every seat in English's Opera-house was
filled last night at the performance given
by the Rentz-Santley Company. In the
course of the burlesque the specialties were
introduced. and all were of attractive char

gives value to q good variety performance.
The audience was very responsive, often
recalling the performers and sending them
OF again with great applause.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS
How Ticket Scalpers Operate When They
WanttoD emoralize Passenger Rates.
First Step Taken by the Transcontinentsl As
s~OciatiOn in Carrying Out the Presidents
Accommodations of the I. &V.

One OF the clty's most prosperous ticket
scalpers said yesterday that the charge
that the Pennsylvania Company was deal
ing with scalpers had been exaggerated.
Scalpers had bought a few tickets. but paid
full price for them. not expecting to get
their money back in full directly. but it
wss part of the tactics which scalpers were
Obliged to use to demoralize rates. II they
can create an impression that one of the
strong lines is working with them. the
weaker lines soon supply the scalpers with
their tickets in numbers desired. The
ecaiper admitted that the market was now
clearer of tickets which could be scalped
than at any time in years. he said they
found il impossible to get any considerab bic
number of straight tickets to handle. and
operations were restricted to the few mile
age tickets and odds and ends OF tickets
they could manage 10 pick up." de thought
matters would soon take q different turn,
and it would then be their opportunity to
get even with some of the general passen-
ger agents who have been so severe on the
scalpers of late.
Carrying Out the Agreement
A special meeting of the Transmissouri
Association was held at Chicago yesterday
to take such action as was made necessary
by the agreement of Western railroad
presidents. The first business wal the
adoption of a resolution formally e~lecting
James Smith chairman Of the association.
This relieves MIR. Smith from further duty
in connection with the Transcontinental
Association, and il now remains for the
latter body to elect E. p. Vining as his sue
cessor in order to carry out the will of the
presidents in the disposition of the several
commissioners chosen to administer the
affairs of the Western Traffic Association.
When q resolution was introduced resolv-
ing the Transmissouri into a division of the
Western Traffic Association a spirited dis
cussion arose. Some of the roads demanded
a denomination of the division to include
passenger as well as freight business. Since
the Western Passenger Association was
form ed. embracing the territory from Chi
cago 10th Rocky mountains. the Transmits
souri has been exclusively q freight organ
izstion. The majority of the roads west of
the Missouri are in favor of dividing the
territory at the Missouri river and giving
the chairman of the transmIssouri division
jurisdiction over both freigh and passenger
traffic between the river and Colorado
points. The proposition was strongly 0p-
posed by the Chicago, Burlington a. Quincy
and the Chicago x Northwestern, and
slight objections were made by one or two
other roads. including the Rock Island.
The Denver Il Rio Grande and the Southern
Pacific advocate a separation of the pas
senger business at the Missouri river and
they have a strong following. The upshot
of the discussion was a reference OF the
whole matter to the board of commission
ers, who are now In session.

AN UNUSUAL CASE.

The sudden and lamentable death of

it is this popularity of circum stance
rather than any excessive value to the
world which brings her into prominence.

VERMONT WINS.

The question is at length finally set
tied and Vermont will have her award
from the government. The thorough
discussion of the matter by the state
press makes it unnecessary to review the
matter, and only the opinion of Attorney
General Miller is of much interest. His
decision is lengthy and in this issue we
are not able to do it justice. 1t is suffi-
cient to know for this week that the
matter is settled and it is subject of
general congratulation that it has been
settled so promptly and to such advantage
to the state. 1t now seems proba BILE
that there will be special legislativ e
session to formally accept the award,
and to act on st. Adams ceding to the
government grounds for a public build
ing.

SCHOOLS DONE"

The past week has been largely the
property of the young student. Prob
ably there have been seen within few
recent days more pretty girls in fluffy
white costumes, and tall youths who
felt hot and cold at quickly varying
periods than we shall see again unit
next June. Probably, again, there have
appeared more essays, precisely rolled
and daintily tied with white ribbons than
we shall see for twelve-month. The
coveted sheepskin has fulfilled its mis-
sion, and proud parents and friends have
heard their individual pets revel in
Greek, Latin and theory from the stage
in front.
None better deserve nor will more
fully enjoy the vacation season now ap-
preaching than these same graduates,
and if there has been a little too much
poetry and halo about the exercises to
suit the stern business man, what mat
ters it. His point may be well taken,
and it is possible that there has been as
in seasons past an overstock Of essays
labeled ''Dreaming and Drifting"
"Whither are we Tending ''The Duties
of Life" etc., but there is no better time
in life to fire off such ammunition than
when one is young and ones friends will
submit to it. Later he will discover
without aid that the dreamer or drifter
rarely ''tends" anywhere, and the duties
will come faster than they can care for
them.
This brings the thought that our
young friends will do we'll to bear in
mind. Many have but laid away their
text books to take up others and higher.
For them there is wealth of research
yet in store, and theirs is the high priv
ilege of still more closely following the
paths of the great minds which have
gone before them. Others have said
goodbye forever to the study of
books, and for them there is the more
difficult analysis of mankind. The stern
chapter of life is open, and they will
prove Improbable servants if they do
not leave a hopeful, helpful and saluta ry
impress on their fraction of the world.
The year 1891 is justified in expecting
much of its army of bright young minds
who by their later success or failure will
show the value of the grand school sys-
tenn of America.
