 "The White Slave" one of Bartley Campbells best plays, will be presented at the opera house tomorrow evening.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Boston base ball management to- day signed a naw catcher in the person of William H. Merritt of Lowell, Mass. He was formerly with the Louisville and Chicago clubs.
 Joe Quinn has been appointed captain of the St Louis team. Caruthers has asked for and been given his uncondi. tional release.
 Herman Long has signed with Boston for salary of $2, 300 In signing at these figures Long went back on his agreement with two other members of the team, who, with him, said they would stand out for certain salary.
 Manager Hanlon has notified Slattery that he need not play with the Balti- mores, as the Eastern league claims him: Wadsworth, the Southern league pitcher, will be held in Baltimore, even if it is necessary to pay $500 bonus for his services.

 King Kelly's dilatory ways are be- coming tiresome to the New York management, and it has threatened that if the king doesn't sign soon he may be left out in the cold.
 John M. Ward isn't pleased with that portion of the league schedule which assigns Boston as the opening attrac- tion. He would rather open with a team which the Giants could be sure of defeating.
 Even if Kelly is secured by New York that club will mss Jack Boyle, who combined all the qualities that go to make a first-class catcher, especially head work, in greater degree than any catcher New York had, or will get, with due respect to Kelly.

AGAINST DUAL GOVERNMENT.
Town and City Consolidation Advocated
 by an Exchange.

Town and City Consolidation Advocated
 by an Exchange.
 The New Haven News, which has been agitating the consolidation of city and town governments says: It Is cer- tainly foolishness to say that for towns as large as New Haven, or Hartford, or Bridgeport, or Meriden, or Waterbury, government by town meeting and by committee is good or a desirable gov. ernment. Town government is merely government by committee. The select men are committee. They serve well enough in small communities where everybody knows everybody else. where the duties are simple, where there is little money to handle, where there is little opportunity for mistakes, and little temptation to advance personal financial interests at public expense. But in the cities we want something better. Town and city consolidation alone will not give it to us. With that we need a uniform law for the govern. ment of cities which shall recognize, in large measure, the principle of home. rule,

NAUGATUCK, March 23.-The initia- tion of officers and some one hundred members, and installation of officers. of Natatuc tribe, No 25, Improved Order of Red Men, took place at the opera house, last night, about one hundred visitors from Waterbury and other towns being present.
