PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO.

1. Ross Thompson, cotton buyer from
Manchester, England, was among the linn
tied passengers last evening. He was going
to Chicago and then South on business. He
said it was unquestioned that the WOODEN
trade in the west of England was injured by
the restrictive tariff. The cotton goods in
dustry was not so much affected and the ex-
tent of the crop this year would assist buy
ers both in price and quality.
Elk. Fassett, of New York, a brother
of j. Sloat Fassett, the Republican nominee
for Governor of the Empire State, was at
the Seventh Avenue yesterday for 81 few
hours. He said that he and his party ha d
unlimited confidence in his brothers cleo
ton and that though Roswell Flower might
have more money the Republicans would
have more votes.
Vice President W.J.Swan, of the Manhattan
Athletic Club, was a passenger on the East
ern express last evening. He was returning

be present at the affair here to-day, but
could not make the time. He said that
athletics has only now obtained foothold
in this country. Ten years ago there were
only 5000 men interested in them, now there
are over 100000.
FIX. State Senator Lee, of Franklin, went
to New York last night. He read with inter
est, he said, a recent article in THE DIS
PATCH on the question of oil as fuel. He
said that much interest was taken in the
question by the country people. He could
not see why such an abundant fluid could
not be successfully used and more generally
than at present.
H. j. Murdoch, Editor of the United Pres
b,terian, went to New York last evening. He
said that as far as his paper was concerned
they would withhold publication Indefinite
ly rather than concede the job printers de-
mands which, he said were outrageous.

fectly well, which is the reason they dis
guise them under various devices, such as
the phrase quoted. But the information
which they as well as the public need is
that the officers of the law have set to
work to make the great combinations of
capital respect the law. At present the
theory of the combinations is that so long
as they can hide behind mere device Of
evasion they are at liberty to ignore the
law; and facts appear to justify that
theory.
Some time ago the administration, with
a considerable flourish Of trumpets, an
nounced that the Attorney General had
ordered the United States District Attor-
news to prosecute all yiolators of the law.
Although this conveyed the rather unique
information that the legal officers of the
Government have to be instructed in order
to get them to enforce the law, it was re-
assuring as conveying a promise OF
praiSeworthy policy. But the friction OF
actual prosecutions is at present minus
quantity: and it viii remain so as long as
those officers feel at liberty to declare, as
one of them did, that it is not his business
to hunt up evidence of violations OF the
law. The peculiar character OF this de-
cided limitation of the United States pros
ecutiGg officers functions is further en-
phasized by the fact that in the city where
it was made evidence of the class referred
to had already been produced in the civil
courts.
1t still remains an open question whether
the great combinations can be made to re-
spect the law, with the odds decidedly in
favor of the combinations.

STREET RAILWAYS AND PAVING

The decision of the Supreme Court
against the Ridge Avenue Railway in
Philadelphia has an indirect local bear
ing. 1t may not be generally remembered
that suit was begun over year ago, IN a
similar dispute between one of the city
railways and the city over the liability of
the former corporation for paving between
the tracks. That suit evidently got lost
in the wreck of the old street acts, as
nothing has been heard from it since.
But with the decision of the Philadelphia
case and the proceedings under the cura-
tive acts we may expect the suit to be
revived, as it involves, we believe, a con-
siderable sum of money. The circum-
stances of the case are not identical with
those of the Philadelphia case decided
yesterday, so that the decision cannot be
foretold with certainty. But the amount
involved and the principle are both of i'm
portance enough to have the question
pushed to an early settlement.

i3rris' Theater.

Good scenery, good company and a
clean play are the elements which enter into
the presentation Of "The FAIRIES Well, :"
which was seen for the first time in this city
yesterday at Harris Theater. The audiences
at both the afternoon and evening perform
ances were large ones, and W. H. Powers
company made favorable impression. "The
FAIRIES Well' is based on the legend
of a well inhabited by FAIRIES, who
once each year reveal to mortal maids their
future husbands, and there is sufficient vii
lainy and distressed virtue in the play to
make it interesting. Among the company is
an old Pittsburger John F. Ward, who is the
ludicrous old gamekeeper, and had the audi
ence in n roar with his comic ditties, while
George +. Timmons harp specialties were
much admired. The part of Mark Condor
was assumed by w. H. Power, Jr., a young
man just out of his teens, who gave the
part in an acceptable manner.

The city officials were much surprised
last evening when informed by THE DIS
PATCH that the Central police station had
been leased over their heads, and that they
must soon look out for new quarters. The
fa.t that some money has recently been
expended upon improving the present
building does not lessen the awkwardness
of the situation, and the short time before
the building must be evacuated may cause
embarrassment
All these features, however, will point
70 the necessity of new and adequate
structure, to be owned by the city The
location of the present quarters can hardly
he much improved upon, but in other re-
socctS the stations in the minor districts
are far superior to the central one 1t is
TO be hoped that another domicile for the
city's temporary guests can be secured
with less trouble than has so far attended
the hunt for the new poor farm.

The Alvin Theater.

-"Standing Room Only" was tackled up
in front Of the box office at the Alvin last
night before the orchestra commenced its
overture and by the time the
curtain was rung up there was very
little standing room left. James t.
Powers was in Pittsburg last season with
"a Straight Tip" but notwithstanding the
fact that everybody saw it then, it seems to
have caught on second time. Those who
again this year to laugh once more.
"a Straight Tip" IS one of those
noisy farces which keep the audience
in a constant uproar, and after the curtain
drops, the people wonder what there was to
laugh at. The fact is, the farce comedies OF
the present day are extremely silly, but SO
long as the public demands the ridiculous 1t
will be given to them in doses of which "a
Straight Tip" is among the most palatable.
Mr. James L. Powers is a host in himself
His appearance on the stage was the signal
for broad smiles from the parquet to the
gallery, and his songs, which are new, were
applauded to the echo. In the third act his
travesty burlesque on Spanish dancing Ia

again. 1t is needless to say that Peter +.
Daly's picture of a sport is q work of art,
Emma Hanley sang very nicely. None
of the young women have more than
average voices, but they are all pretty, and
their twilight dance in the second act was

laughable and Albert Hart as the actor in

ing in appearance, to say the

brogue that seemed to come naturally to her
lips. The music throughout though not
particularly new, is bright and pleasing to
the ear, and the costuming in general is pict-
uresque. Altogether, there is a decided i'm
provement all around, as compared with
last year.

The Commissioner regards the education OF
the Indian as the only solution OF the Indian

Regarding contract schools the Commits

that the admiral of tho United States squad.

movements of the Congressional troops

of Ohio that he shall institute QUO 1UGrrunto
proceedings against the ballet reform law
1t is generally understood that the duty of
State Attorneys IS not to attack the Iegisla-
tion of the State but to maintain it. To be
sure, the idea of some United States Attor-
neys that it is not their business to enforce
the antitrust act, may yet blossom into a
theory on their part that they can attack its
constitutionality. But the Ohio Attorney
General will hardly like to lead legal de-
parture of that kind.

Harry Williams Academy,

Harry Kernell is indeed ''the man you

last night was signal for an outburst of
cheers such as any actor might be proud to
receive. He is as full of jests and quaintness
as ever, and he has good company
behind him. Among the names to be noted
are Gallagher and Griffin, the Irish COM

wonder; Bertha Stead, the serio-comic;
Blockson and Burns, Lottie Hyde, the High
leys, Fisher and Clark, and Thomas OBrien
