ADJUSTMENTS

In ga Nutmeg Match' Mr.. Haworth
has given us a very pretty play-by no
means superior. but one full of merri-
ment and odd pictures and striking stu
ations. And it is acted by Lett q Davis
Company, which appeared at the Metro
politan last night. excellently. But,
while we can forgive the extravaganza of
Cinders, for the sake Of the genuine
amusement she affords, and admit the
art manifest in the creation of Uncle Bob,
neither Mr. Haworth nor the actors can
be pardoned for the utterly absurd and
absolutely foolish last act. Cut it out
completely, and a pretty play we'll ended
remains. The last act is neither fish,
flesh. nor good red herring. 1t is an
abomination and destroys all sympathy
for Cinders that grew out of her courage,
truth and innocence. The last act is an
obeisance to the taste for the unreal, vul-
gar and repulsive.

ARGUING FOR PRENDERGAsT.
Tracing Court Decisions From the Day
When Insanity Was Called Witchcraft.

Chicago, December 27.-Mr. Essex, one
of the counsel for the prisoner, resumed
his address in the Prendergast trial be-.
fore large audience this morning. In
the conclusion of his argument for Prem
dergast, he severely criticized the testi-
mony given by the employees of the Jail.
In regard to the evidence of fear, said by
these witnesses to have been shown by
the prisoner, the speaker said it was
nothing unusual for a prisoner in Jail
to show fear of the officers of that insti-
tuition and intimated that these officers
were sometimes cruel to prisoners. Mr..
Essex pleaded with the jury to not COM
NIT another judicial murder by hanging
an insane man.
Mr.. Heron, also for the defense, fol-
lowed with an address which was one of
the most unique efforts ever heard in q
til Il in court room. For an hour, he
harangued the jury in an effort to hold
Assistant States Attorney Todd up to
ridicule
Attorney McGoorty, another of the
counsel for the prisoner, traced the
various court decisions in regard to in
sane persons to the time when witChcraft
and insanity were classed together, to
the present when the law of the land is
that, unless the defendant is capable of
distinguishing between night and wrong
at the time of committing the crime, he
cannot be held guilty and responsible.
Mr.. McGoorty read an abundance of law
to prove that in all cases the benefit of
every reasona BILE doubt should be ac-
corded the prisoner

WOOL HAS BEEN CHEAP.
The Year Now Closing Remarkable in the
History of the Market.

Boston, December 27.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter, in its issue
today, publishes the annual review of
the seaboard and interior wool markets
in part as follows: The year 1893 will go
the into history as most remarkable the
wool interests of the United States have
ever experienced. Never in the history of
the wool market have prices for domes-
tic woods ruled so low as during 1893.
The decline in fleece woods since January
has averaged fully 20 per cent. The
course of the secured wool market shows
a greater decline than any other, unless
it be the pulled woods, which have
shrunk in value fully 33 1-3 per cent, and
have sold nearer free wool basis than
any other staple in the market. Terrific
~ woods show about 33 1-3 per cent
shrinkage, reckoning on January quo
tations, but 35 per cent depreciation is
shown between March and today's val
ues on some of these woods. In foreign
woods there has not been experienced so
manifest decline. the market not having
had to depend on the United States as in
the case of domestic woods.

Indian speou1ators Caupht.
PREFERS FIGHTING INDIANS.
General Nelson A. Miles's Opinion of Foot.
ball as Now Played.

Chicago, December 27.-General Mel
son A. Miles, the famous Indian fighter,
has put himself on record as opposed to
college football as now played. He says:
II am strongly in favor Of a change in
the football rules, because I want to see
the game perpetuated, and I don't be-
evlie it can endure under the existing So
called Rugby rules. As now PLAYED at
Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Cornell.
the game is productive of greater num-
Der of injuries than is prize fighting un-
der the Marquis of Queensberry rules.
Hitting and crashing are often engaged
in on the pretence that the offender is
enraged and does not wish to do bodily
injury to an opponent He knows that
by smuggling or jumping upon his man he
can disable him until retirement is ne
cessary, and these tactics are directed
against the strong players, who are
known to be invaluable to the success of
the opposing team.
All unnecessary roughness should be
barred, and momentum ought not to be
tolerated. If the rules are not changed
it will be partial solution of the bru-
tality problem to enforce the existing
rules rigidly against offenders. 1t would
be a good plan, think, to deal with the
sluggers and Founders as the horse race
associations deal with offenders against
racing laws. A player who was found
guilty would be ruled off all fields for
good. I look upon the practice of the
game mainly from the standpoint of
physical training, although there are less
violent sports that more nearly furnish
desired results"
The General was asked his opinion of
boxing. This was his reply:
Il can see no objection to boxing with
soft gloves. as long as it is in the line of
physical development and training for
self-defence. I am in favor of running,
jumping, vaulting, in fact, any exercise
that makes man healthy and gives him
a long lease on life.''

LOWER WAGES VS.. FAILURE.
Brockton Shoe Manufa cturers Say Those
Are the Alternatives.

Brockton, Mass, December 27.-Some
reduce the wages of operatives in this
city on the plea that the conditions of
the trade demands revision of prices.
In the factories of l.. NJ. Reynolds, Story,
Adams 6 Co., and Geo. E. Keith, reduc-
tions have been made. In the Reynolds
shop 10 per cent cut down in all the
departments has been made. In Story,
Adams 6 Co. 8 and George E. Keith's,
reductions in certain departments have
been made, notably in the stitehers.
George E. Keith when seen today in re-
lation to the report that he had ''docked"
all hands In his empty, stated it was not
SO, but he was to make a change of fore
men in the stitching department and on
several parts of its work he considered
the price should be revised, as he had
been paying more for parts OF his work
than other manufacturers.
In one large factory, the proprietor in
formed the help that new pricesiwill go in
to effect next week. He told a reporter
it was merely question of getting the
work done cheaper. shutting down indef-
initely, or going on for awhile and then
failing. He had chosen the course that
seemed the best for all. All the manu-
facturers who have been seen state that
Brockton prices must be revised in or
der to compete in the market. They
claim that reductions have been made at
Spencer, Marlboro and Auburn and the
manufacturers in these cities can under
sell them in the market. They deny
what some labor men claim that they
using the prevailing hard times as an ex-
cuse for cutting wages. The Brockton
Diamond, the organ Of the worlingmen,
will practically admit the claim of the
manufacturers, but it states that those
towns where reductions have been made
cannot compete in workmanship with
BrockIon shoemakers and that the re-
duction will not bring Brockton manu-
facturers trade from the fact that as soon
as the reduction in the price of shoes is
made here, the firms doing business in
other towns and cities will again drop
and Brockton manufacturers will find
themselves in the same position as be-
ford. Said well-known labor leader
today: ''The remedy for all this is the
organization of both the manufacturers
to keep up prices, and the operatives to
keep up wages

SOMEBODY SAID DYNAMITE.
And an Opera Audience in Madrid Made
Rush for the Street

And an Opera Audience in Madrid Made
Rush for the Street.
Madrid, December 2T.-A large audi
ence gath hered last night in the Royal
Opera house, and while waiting for the
performance to begin the people con-
versed with each other in the manner
common at operatic performances. Sud-
denly a rumor was circulated through
the house that anarchists were present
and intended to commit bomb outrage,
With the memory of the outrage at the
Lyceum theatre at Barcelona fresh in
their minds, the people did not for an
instant doubt that the rumor was true,
and in less time than it takes to tell of it
the whole audience was in a state of
semi-panic. The women hastily donned
their wraps, men grabbed their hats and
overcoats and hurriedly departed from
the building. The hasty egress of the
audience attracted the attention of
passers-by who were soon informed Of
the rumor that had driven the people
from the Opera house, and these, in
such additions as their imaginations
suggested. In some quarters it was re-
ported that frightful explosion had oc-
Cured, and soon the streets in the yicin-
ity Of the Opera house were packed with
excited thrones of people clamoring for
details of the affair. The population of
the whole city was intensely excited.
The news speedily reached the governor
of Madrid, and close upon it's heels fol-
lowed denial. The governor at once
drove to the Opera house, where by this
time the people, among whom fingered
many of those who had been inside the
building, were demanding the instant
arrest of the would-be bomb throwers.
though who they were or why they were
there no one could say. When the gov
ernor appeared and stated that the rumor
was cnnard, the crowd became re-
assured and most Of them quietly de-
parted. The great fear and excitement
caused by mere rumor of an anarchist
plot is evidence of the state of the people
caused by the repeated anarchist out
RACES.
The rumor that the Opera house was
to be blown up had it's origin in the fact
that the governor of Madrid received
yesterday two letters warning him that
an anarchist intended to blow ND the
building with dynamite when the Queen
Regent and some of the infantas were
present at the performance The Queen
Regent had intended to attend the opera
last night, but the governor advised her
not to go and she acted on his advice,

INDIANA POLITICS.
Republicans Said To Be Divided Between
Harrison and Mckinley,

Indianapolis, Ind, December 27.-Pol-
iticians here who mixed in the
fight of the Harrison and anti-Harrison
forces two years ago, are preparing to
renew the struggle. All of those ele-
ments which opposed the ex-President a /
that time have now combined, and the
indications are that they will support
Mckinley against Harrison. The state
committee is about to be reorganized,
and clash is expected to come
at that time. That the ex-President is a
candidate is now generally believed. Re-
cent developments indicate that Cover
nor Mckinley is very strong politically
in Indiana, and especially SO in Indian
apolis.

Paris, December 27.-Emile Zola, the
well known novelist, has announced
his intention to champion the cause Of
Cohen, the Dutch Jew, who was ex-
PEELED from France because of his con-
nection with the anarchists, and who has
taken up his residence in England. M.
Zola bases his championship of Cohen on
the ground that the latter has done good
service for French literature, and has
translated Ducth and German books in
to the French language. He admits that
Cohen's opinions are advanced, and that
he belongs to the revolutionary sect
known as Sans Patrie. 1t has been
learned that Cohen was about to apply
for letters of naturalization as French
citizen when the government ordered his
expulsion from France.
Three anarchists named Roussel, Voght
and Thiebult, were arrested here today.
They have been in the habit of collect
ing from door to door subscriptions for
the so-called soup conferences started by
Madame Severine. These soup confer
ences were simply revolutionary meet
ings that were mostly attended by mem
bers of the dangerous classes, who OBJ
tanned soup and bread, while they
listened to violent TRADES against the
government and the bourgeoisIe. When
donations were refused the collectors
limited that the anarchists would rem en-
Der those who refused assistance, and
this veiled threat often had the desired
effect.
The authorities have suppressed the
soup conferences.
Two other men, named Chatillon and
Bonnet, were concerned in the collection
of subscriptions and it is possible that
all five of them will be indicted for OBJ
tanning money under false pretences. 1t
seems that much of the money collected
ostensibly for the soup conferences was
spent in riatous living by the collectors.
L hey made rich hauls on December "a
and Christmas, some persons being
frightened into giving money to them,
while Others gave with the idea that
they were helping worthy charity.
The police yesterday made search of
the rooms of the mother of the Anarchist
Colas, who with Moulinier was recently
arrested at st. Jean, near Orleans A
number of letters and documents were
found, the contents Of which revealed
the existence of an Anarchist plot.
Clues also were discovered which will
prove valuable to the authorities.
AS measure of precuation against a
possible dynamite outrage the public
securities in the custody of the Bank of
France, have been removed to the Place
Ventadour, where there is an immense
strong room. The estimated value of
the securities is upward of 1000, 900, 900
frances.
