LITTLE CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

The new what-d ye-call-it at the Gar
den Theatre, Little Christopher Column
bus" will, of course, suffer from the
success of 1872" This overwhelming
and complicated success will be hurled
at it frantlcally; 1t will be tainted,
abused and made miserable by it-for
time, at any rate. Little did Messrs.
George r. Sims, Cecil Raleigh and Ivan
Caryll, the authors and composers of the
new d'ye-call-it. wot of this con-
ditlon of things.
The fact that Little Christopher Co
INDUS" is at present tame and dull
it is PROFESSIONALLY both-neei not be
unduly emphasized. "1i92' was not
built in n day. 1t was an evolution.
and at It's first performance was almost
as crude as the new affair. Clever
people, specalties and a constant eye
for up-to-dateness established "1i92" as
a success. Why should not a similar
fate overtake Little Christopher"
Work has already been begun upon 1T,
| understand and heavy clod OF dull
ness-weighinE forty-five mnutes-was
removed from II last night. Just now its
weak points are not only its humor-
which Is of the uncooked-muiiin order
but also Its music, which, with one or
two exceptions, Is ineffably trashy.
These exceptions are the two songs,
"Lazily, Drowsily" and "Oh, Honey;
My Honey" which were sung by May
Yohe in London, and are charmingly in
tcrpreted here by Miss Helen Bertram.
Apart from these prettily primitive
songs, there is chaotic Jingle and melo-
dies worthy of-well. say, Rudolph Aron-
son.
Little Christopher Columbus Will
probably be used as peg for specialties.
A few are introduced in the second and
third acts, but they are not very felici-
tous. The best of them are the marion
cite dance in the second act, and the
dancing speciality of John w. Wilson
and Bertha Warning in the third act,
which was so furiously applauded that
the artists had to come forward four or
five times. There are possibilities of
anything and everything In the new
what d ye-call 1t. Even living pictures
would not he out OF place. and min
strel act would not be irrelevant. The
third act Is placed on the Midway Plat
sance, so there is an excuse for special
ties of all kinds.
Mr. Rice has poured out his money
lavishly on costumes and scenery. The
dresses are extremely handsome, although
"A trne gaudy, and some of the groupings
| are very fascinating. 1t seems odd that
there should be so little ginger" where
| there has been such prodigality of pic
turesque accessories, but the pudding
having been made, the seasoning will
undoubtedly follow In good time.
Mr.. Rice has poured out his good money
cast, but they are swamped. Miss Helen
| Bertram sings very well, although she
risks little too much with her high
notes; Harry Macdonough tries hard to
be funny and George Walton must sim
ply be described as IA tragi-comedian,
lie Is from the principal theatres OF
London and Australia" but that gives
one rather feeble opinion of those
transmarine lighthouses, A week from
now Little Christopher Columbus" will
be another story altogether. Rome

To the Editor:
The nationality OF woman is subject deserv-

ers who can maintain, their gravity. and thereby
avoid losing sight of the Importance Of their
object should take the matter in hand at once.
My observations, carried on In various humble
but respectable neighborhoOds In the city Of New
York have furnished me abundant evidence OF
the mental unsoundness Of woman. AS for In

her exertions and gaspIng, and yet no thought
OF the reasonableness of letting up singing until

each gasp were distressing. But I must stop

Fashion in Furs.

A glimpse ahead at the modes that
will govern turs next Winter shows sew
eral quaint notions. A lovely cape of
rich dark seal, with high collar and
pointed trimming of wolverine all
round the edge and plated about the
shoulders, has a lining OF black and
gold brocade.
Small pieces of sealskin, which are
not sufficient to make a Jacket or a
cape, the furrier will convert into a
close-fitting bodice, with cloth sleeves,
or they may be fashioned into waist
coat and deep cuffs or a basque. Blend
ed with myrtle. deep brown or navy
blue cloth, the fur has very Partisan
effect.
We are to have Victorines OF beaver
or golden otter. the neck circlet termi-
mating in a little head resting on two
paws, while the tail of the animal hangs
over the Victorine.
During the coming season broad-tail,
caracule and lofka will be fashionable.
The last is a sort of straight astrachan,
glossy and easily adapted to trimming
purposes.
Fur garnitures on gowns will be more
popular than last year.

MIR. CLEVELAND WILL wRITEALETTER.

John Boyd Thatcher undoubtedly spoke
by the book in announcing that Presi-
dent Cleveland would write a letter In
dorslng Hill. Even II Mr.. Thacher had
not received any direct intimation that
such n letter would be forthcoming. he
would be perfectly justified in making
the prediction, merely upon the strength
of precedent.
No one who has read Mr.. Cleveland's
public letters can fail to recognize his
entire conservation Of himself to the
public service. His personal comfort.
his direct political interests, even his
political friends. have ever been sac
rlhced without hesitation TO his CON
ception of the public good.
This entire devotion, this thorough abb
ncgation OF ideals, friends and sup
porters was beautifully illustrated In
the famous campaign In which Col.
Fellows and De Lancey Nicol were
rival candidates for DistriCt-Attorney.
Nothing less than the most profound
consciousness of the necessity of saCri-
ncing the principles he had always up
held and the people who had aided him
to uphold them could have induced the
President Of the United States to write
the letter he did in favor of Col Eel
lows.
with that incident In view, 1t is
foolish to suppose that Mr.. Cleveland
will fail to write a letter condemning
the course Of some of his friends and
supporters in opposing Mr.. Hin.
1t is not conceivable that the man
who could lick his chops over so rank
