ALBArGH's.-The first appearance that Nine.
Bernhardt made in this CITY, over ten years ago,
was In ''Frou Frou." and the verdict of the ex-
cellence of her Gilterte pronounced then was
emphasized by those who witnessed her per-
formance of the same character last night at
Albaugh's Opera House. In every phase Of
Thu nervous, impulsive and passionate part
Bernhardt is supremacy effective and wonder
fully natural So delicate. refined and finished
Is her art that it is absolutely concealed, and
GdbeTte seems to live and suffer and dies in
reality to the overweight feelings of the au-
dience. 1t is not alone Bernhardts melodious
voice, clear and distinct even in its sOftest
tones, nor her marvellous elocution, nor her
wonderful play of features and eloquent
pantomime, nor vet her perfect command
of every stage resource-it is not in any one of
these respects that she is great. but she COM
bines them all in such perfect degree that in
every character she assumes she leaves nothing
to be desired, aud it seems impossible that il
conld be better performed. All the support
last night was excellent, the work OF NJ. Rebel

ers give the matter their attention.
Inc matter was sent to Maj. Moore. who for
warded 1t to the officers above mentioned for
report. This was sent to the Commissioners
today. The officers say that the conversation
alleged to have taken place is a garbled state
ment and IL not true. They say that there was
nothing said with reference to the manner in
which promotions arc made. In forwarding
the papers today Maj. Moore says that police
men are as apt to be misquoted in their in
formal station house confibs Ms are orators in
their public utterances. As to the manner Of
making prom otions on the force, based on the
number OF arrests made, he states that no such
system prevails. He gives the law on the SUBJ

pretty hall was fairly ablaze with beauty, both
natural and artificial and by artificial beauty
is meant the toilets of the ladies. for those es-
sentials to a dance were costumed most charm
lngiy. The music was new and excellent, and
the supper would have pleased the most fsstid-
lous ep:clre. Not tho slightest incident that
would have mArred the pleasure of the even
ing occurred, and when at last, owing to the
appearance OF another day, the dance was
stopped, all left the room with regrets. A

A Defense of the Herdic Drivers.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In yesterdays issue of your valuable paper
appears q communication from Il N. B." en-
titled Holding Up a Herdic," which, in nv
opinion. does great injustice to a class of In
dustrious and very hard-worked men. There
can be no doubt that the drivers of the herdic
coaches are worked harder and have more to
look after than the employees connected with
any other kind Of public conveyance in this
city. They have pair of horses to drive

tickets and then see that the passengers put

fares and in cold weather the rear doors must
be opened and shut after each passenger desir-
ing to get IN out of the coach and then
keep their eyes peeled for would-be passen-
gers q square or more away in every direction

have resided on 18th street on the line of the
herdics for the past six years, and my expert
ence and observation during that time lead me
to assert that as a rule the herdic drivers are
both careful and considerable of their passen-
gers. In conclusion permit me to say that the
Herdic Company have a rule. which the drivers
are instructed to rigIdly enforce, viz: NO in
toxicated person sis allowed TO ride in the
coaches" Now il the driver of whom Il n. l."
