A Card From Mr.. Marshall.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In an afternoon paper of Monday, 18th
inst, 1 am represented as rejecting upon
Mr.. Bennett, one of my associate counsel in
the defense of Mayor Wyman. 1t has been a
rule of my life not to notice newspaper mis-
statements. However, justice to Mr.. Ben
nett demands a reply. have never uttered
word in disparagement of Mr.. Bennett.
His labors in the preparation of the defense
were skillful, intelligent and exhaustive,
both as to the law and the facts In no in
stance did his work fail to elicit my warm
approval. He had my entire confidence and
we were harmonious in consultation and
trial of the case. 1t affords me pleasure to
say that Mr.. Bennett did more to prepare
both the law and the facts for the trial than
any of the legal gentlemen employed. and
all his work was performed with skill, in
telligence and courage.
THos. NJ. MARSHALL.

TWO LITTLE COMEDIES
That We're Played Very PrettiIy by the
Tuesday Night Club.

That Were Played Very Prettily by the
Tuesday Night Club.
The Tuesday Night Club gave couple of
pretty comediettas at the Pittsburg Club
Theater last night. The first was "Orange
Blossoms" by J. P. Wooler, farcicaI trifie,
in which the cast was as follows:
Mr sentf,ns aSpe, Nj; 1IOwa 1a
Isabella Clarence (wife to the CoioneD -.
Violet Hope iwife to Hope. Miss Harding
Mr.. Howe had the largest share of the
work i'll Orange Blossoms" and he made q
very amusing misogynist, who is captured
at last by the charming but willful m1san-
thropist, Louisa, charmingly played by Miss
Morgan. Miss Harding was as clever as
usual, and indeed the whole performance
was nicely finished.
In the second play, Woman's Rights" by
L. A. Palmer, the cast was as follows:
Mayor Brown Fitzgerald (unattached).
Horace Temple Ia young barristerJ -. Mr. Philips
beiingham Whyte "a gentleman lock-
constantia semper "a mature maiden. .:.....;.
Annie Loveleigh cher niece, in love with
Horace). ..............-...... Miss Haworth
Miss Haworth, whose Mss UdrdcdStte was
the most notable amateur performance of
last season in Allegheny. had no difficulty
in making Miss LOUeleigh a most graceful
and bewitching little heroine. The audi
ence fell in love with her almost as quickly
as Horace Temple, and she received the I'M
usual compliment of double recall in the
middle of a scene Mrs. Gormley made the
old-maidish foibles of C0nSt0ntia SenlDer e1-
tremely humorous, and Messrs. Mcknight,
Phillips and Scott assisted in acting the
laughable story with much spirit. Mr.. Nc
Knights makeup as dyed and padded old
beau was highly artistic. Both plays were
very prettily mounted.
Between the plays the election of the
clubs officers for the year took place, and
by unanimous consent these gentlemen
were elected: W. r. Sewall, President; A.
II. Childs, Vice President; Oliver Page, Sec
retary, and j. d. Lyons, Treasurer. The
standing committee for the year were also
announced.

New YORK began the enumeration for

effect that the Prince of Wales is expected

there in May, on his way to 0ttawa, meets
with little or no belief. The actions of the
heir to the English throne are generally so
much public property that there is no doubt
but that q visit to Canada would have been
heard of from England long before Albany
got wind of it. We shall probably hear next
that Senator Hills absence from Washing
ton has been due to his preparations for the
reception of the royal visitor. But the
presence of royalty and Hill at the same
time would insure the ruin of any city.
Albany must beware.

SEA ISLE CITY, N. j., Feb. 16.-Miss Flora
Springer, the daughter of Jesse Springer, of
Goshen, is biccoughinx herself to death.
About three weeks ago she laughed violently
at joke cracked by a friend in the dry
goods store of Partridge & Richardson, in
Philadelphia, where she was employed.
The laughing brought on an attack of hic-
coughs which has continued ever since. She
was brought home Saturday in critical
condition. Her physicians have used every
remedy known to medical science, but have
been unable to relieve her. They despair of
saving her life.

THERE IS much about the CIRCUMSTANCES
brought to light in connection with the fire
at the Dallmeyer building which makes it of
prime importance that the actions arising
from the evidence at the inquest be carried
out thoroughly so that the matter may be
probed to the roots. Arson is a serious
crime, in the prevention of which the public
is especially concerned. Then, too, law
abiding community cannot afford to allow
witnesses to be threatened with impunity,
and no effort should be spared to bring the
intimidators to the severe punishment they
deserve.

THE snpnorters of the Reading coal deal

THE supporters of the Reading coal deal
are either interested parties, or they are
gifted with memories which enable them.to to
forget that no large corporation has been
organized in the past which has been for
the benefit of the public. Precedent is a
good thing upon which to base argument in
the absence of evidence that the monopo-
lists are seeking to do anything but fill their
own pockets at the expense OF the people.

IT is difficult to analvze the political
outlook when a leading Democratic
paper declares that Cleveland sis the
choice of an overwhelming majority OF the

on to say that someone else had better be

in New York. 1t really looks as though
Tammany had some claim to omnipotence
with regard to the Democratic party.
