BANK Of ENGLAND CONTROL.
London Times Advocates n New
Head and Younger Committee.

LONDON, Jan. S.-The Times to-day
publishes n long letter which is attract
Ing much attention in the city this after
noon. The article deals with the criti-
clsms of the Bank of England's petition.
and says that II is true that serious ir-
Irregularities have lately come to light In
the management OF the bank, but that
nothing has happened to Justify the
language used during the last two
months.
In the opinion Of The Times the pres
ent system Of changing the Governor OF
the Ban; OF England every two years
should he abolished, and a permanent
official shauld be provided. In preference
to a chief cashier with n high salary.
Furthermore. The Times suggests a re-
duction in the average age OF the Com
mittec Of the Treasury, who. according
TO The Times, are inclined to be too
conservative regarding general manage
men..

CRITICISM IN EIGHTH AVENUE.

Eighth avenue critilucs are not OF the
ornut" kind. They may be picturesque,
but they are not beautiful. A handful
of words comes whialing from the gal
lcry, or a slab OF slang floats NJ from
the front row of the orchestra, and the
ThcspIan IL done for. The Critique has
IL quick action and seldom misses the
mark. Like Somebody's Soap, after IA
player has had 1t once, he'll have no use
Tor any other for a very long time.
Sometimes criticism assumes u con-
crete shape In Eighth avenue. At
Miners Theatre, Saturday night, n
young woman was doing the best she
could with a sentimental song, entitled
Ills IOly's o. the Green Hillside"
when one Of the gods" threw an orange
that hit her behind the left ear. This
juicy critique spoiled the orange and the
song. 1t also rot the critic into the
lookup. Indeed, II made more trouble for
all concerned thaa Eighth avenue critl-
c.sm u'uGlly docs,
Broadway th"ltTo-go'rS wouldn't cotton
to c]rit.ques of this character. They like
their critics to do the swattlng OF the
actors IN copp"r-faced type. 1t Is SO nice
to see the poor actor pour Precipitation
all through 4 performance. and feel a
certain dellght-glving assurance that he

ceptable than the swat de rlgeur OF Tho
