Several Early Contributions to tho
Beautiful Charity.

Friends Of the poor children of New
York are already coming forward with
their subscriptions to 1.-The Evening

A LEGISLATIVE MIDDLE.

Legislative matters at Albany seem to
be In an inComprchcnsiblc muddc II Is
Impossible to understand the policy OF
the majority. unless II be simply to
make hay while the sun shines; to grab all
they can geswhile they have n chance; to
make desperate efforts to break into the
spells from which they have been Icing
excluded; to hold lobby revival al the
State capital and to give the boys a
chance"
At one time we are told that the
Bipartisan Police bin is going through
both Houses in exactly the shape the
political bosses desire. At another. In
formation comes that 1t Is amended so
as to transfer all the power from the
Commissioners to the Superintendent.
That is well known to be what the politi-
cal bose do not desire. Than agaih. II
is reported that another amendment has
been tackled on, empowering the Ei-rarti-
san Police Board to remove the Superin-
tendent at it's will. and this is doubtless
what the political bosses would like very
well.
The bill giving the next Mayor of New
YORK the power to remove all heads of
departments is similarly befogged. One
day II Is defeated by the Plat Croker
combine" and the next day II comes to
life again, and Is to be put through. The
Lexow Committee business Is also mex
tricably mixed. Now It is crippled and
saddled with a country lawyer chosen
by Boss Platt az counsel. and now 1t is
made II whole years job to be run by
capable lawyers and armed with the
n ka long In nd
long bill against the State.
IL there Is really decker between the
party leaders to divide up the city spoils
In view OF the foreshadowed defeat OF
Tammany next Fall, It will appear in
the final passage OF all the Plat bills in
the shape In which the combine desires
and their approval by the Governor. II,
on the other hand, they are passed. with
amendments that defeat the objects Of
the deal, they will be killed In the Execu-
tive Chamber. At present II seems toler-
ably certain that no laws will be enacted
in the interests OF the public.
The session OF 1894 will be mainly dis
tingulshed for restoring the lobby 'argu-
ments" to Albany. instead OF keeping
them In New York and sending only the
orders OF the bosses to the capital.
The latest phase OF the muddle is that
the Police bill has been so amended again
as to require a trial by the Commissioners
before the removal OF the Superintendent,
which Is. Of course. a mere farce; that
this, with the Mayoralty Removal bin
and the Sheriff's Salary bill, are made
party measures and are to be put through
by a party vote. What next?

ter, who Has a Cut Head.

Louis Maize and Richard Rohde. who
perform with the Mounet Sully com

let and Laertes were exchanging civili-
ties with foiis, one Of which has an
undated and onvenomed point" Maize
and Rohde got afoul OF Stage Carpenter
James Derby.
The actors had taken two friends
on the stage behind the scenes, contrary
to the rule OF the theatre. The stage
manager told Derby to order them
away. He did so. and Maize and Rohde
resented It. Their resentment ended In
black and blue eye for Maize. Tran

Difference to the death OF Hamlet. Later,
however, hostilities were renewed.

indisnlty he had suffered. and offered
his damaged eye in evidence. An am
buscade was formed outside the theatre.

pormance. Mare. backed up by his
friends and assisted by Rohde. closed
in on the stage carpenter.

IL heavy cane, which inflicted Il severe
scalp wound. He gave the grand hail
ing signal Of distress. and several stage
hands ran to his assistance. The actors
fled. and Derby was taken into a near

Fearing that the stage hands. who
espoused the cause OF Derby. would
make Il vendetta affair of 1t. the actors
called for police protection. According
ly, last night, while Maffe and Rohde
were assisting king Oedipe" to make
himself miserable they were continual

ger. of the West Thirtieth street sta

French Mothers.

There is nothing more touching and
noble in the world than the intimacy
between a French mother and daughter
the mother giving to her daughter all her
time, all her thoughts, moulding her
with infinite devotion, living for her
alone. She accompanies her to her les
sons, directs her reading, watches day
and night to guard that ideal purity
which by singular lnconsequence will
be sacrificed, ninety chances out of a
hundred. to a man whose life will have
been quite the contrary. The mother
cannot reform marriage as it exists in
France--it is an institution full of de-
fects-but she can teach to her daughter
all the virtues to meet the sorrows which
almost certainly await her.

thread, the danger is quite marked, be-

somewhat If this practice is followed
regularly, and very much silk thread ID
