Senator John Day Smith voted in favor
of the McHale Anti-Tights bill, but it
must be remembered that the Senator is
the proud possessor of beautiful head Of
gray hair and a remarkably acute vision
for man of his years Minneapolis Tri-
bUne.
When the theatrical gentlemen in Min
neSota endeavored TO weigh down the
Anti-Tights bill with such amendments
as one forbldding dry goods merchants to
expose undressed kid gloves for sale their
humOr failed to impress the farmer mem-
bers, and they voted with great unanlm-
ity for the bill.-hmSas CHy JodW0i.
The Minnesota Senate has passed the
bill prohibiting tights on the stage, and
now the theatre managers are trying to
beguile il into enacting that low-necked
dresses shall not be worn either on the
stage or anywhere else. The day of
sumptuary laws has gone by everywhere
else, and Minnesota will not keep them
up long. Philadelphia MQuire3.
The name of Senator McHale of Mime
sofa promises to go laundering down the
corridors of time as the author of about
the most ridiculous piece of legislation
that has yet been put on the statute books
OF any State. Henceforth the legs of the
ballet dancer who cavorts on the stage in
Minnesota will be arrayed in something
less snug than silk tights, and graceful
outlines will give way to bulging bloom
ers. McHale should have a special ballet
named for him. Boston Herald.

Grants Race with Butler.
From ne Gio6e.D Democrat.


"When General Grant had been drink
ing, said General Benjamin f. Butler,
'he was sure to get upon his favorite
topic of horses and their speed. Upon one
occasion, when Grant had his headquar-
ters at City Point, he sent for me on the
south side of the river to meet him at
Meade's headquarters, several miles from
the Point. We had dinner with Meade
and at late hour in the night started
with our stafis for City Point.
Almost as soon rs we were mounted
Grant began to talk about our horses.
Then he insisted that he could beat me
riding. l wasn't much of horseman,
and agreed with him. His next pro-
position was that we should try the speed
of our horses. demurred to that. The
road had been used for hauling supplies
and was in shocking condition. 1t was
choked with debris and lined with the
carcassCs of mules. But Grant insisted
He shouted, Come on' and put spurs to
his horse. There was nothing for me to
do but to follow over that bad road and
through the darkness as hard as could
and did it. Grant never drew rein until
he got to City Point and kept as we'll up
as ! could. As for our staff officers, they
were strung out all the way from Meade's
headquarters to City Point, and the last
of them didn't get i'll until morning.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The NationnI Thenire.

Last night Mr.. Daly's incompatible
company played that bright and delight
full comedy, "The Railroad of Love-" to
an immense audience, composed of the
most intelligent and apprecative of our
people. such a tribute to merit has sell
dom been rendered except to such extra
ordinary attractions as this company pre-
sents. Miss Rehan was seen to very great
advantage in one of her most Captiyating
roles. ASIDE from her beauty, which IS
not to be disputed, she has accomplish
ments as an actress which would make
her success were she rs plain as Char
lotte Cushman in face and figure. Miss
Rehans effectiveness is, of course, greatly
enhanced by her personal charms, ele-
gance of demeanor and exquisite cos.
tunes. But even these without talent
would fail to loat her, as they have GER
tam actresses who have broken into the
stage from society under the impression
that success in art was matter of pretty
teSh, Tine millinery and persistent news
paper nOtoriety.
bliss Rehan's acting shows hard study,
discriminating tact and taste and the re-
tininS effects of practice and the observ-
ance OF all of the niceties and unities.
She is brilliant example of the Ameri-
can genius for adaptability and quickness
OF apprehension as applied TO everything
connected with the stage. There is an air of
distinction and polished iHsotcia3ce about
her movements and the delicious tones
OF her refined and educated voice which
20 far toward giving such a part as she
played last night a fascination unattaina-
BILE and impossible to the average per
formance. Miss Rehan is singularly free
from many OF the stereotyped Alterations
which are the principal stock In trade OF
too many sO-called stars
The whole tendency of her art is toward
the highest standard, that standard i'm
which simplicity, naturalness and alb
scence Of rant are the salient elements.
She has had the privilege also of the wise
and experienced taste and judgment Of
Mr. DAILY himself in her studies, and the
result is alike llattering to Miss Rehan
and Mr. DAILY, who has, perhaps, done
more than any one manager toward es-
tablishing and maintaining q criterion of
dram attic art. His company is a school
Of the best modern acting, and TO belong
10 it is of itself a reputation for excel
lence.
Mr. John Drew and the other leading
members of the company contributed by
the admirable manner in which they
played their respective parts 10 the

fumanCe to which must be added the

"Be an old Maid"
From he CAicaOo Herald.

IRON me tHtCd0O Hefdt0.
BE an old maid in its most despised sig
niicance then be n grubber and toiler
all the days of your life rather than rush
into marriage as a hunted fox flies into a
trap. There is some chance for the fox
that flies to the hills, and for the bird that
scars above the huntsman's aim, but what
better off is the fox in the trap or the lark
in a cage? There is u love so pure aud
enobling that eternity shah not be long
enough to cast its blossom, nor death
sharp enough to loosen the foundation of
its hold. Such love is born in the spirit
rather than forced in the hot-house of
the senses. It is an impulse toward the
stars, a striving toward things that are
pure and perfect and true. ltgrows in the
heart as a rose grows in the garden first
