to his head to execute retreat That
of course, ywould be acknowledgements
to execute without exposing himself to
the charge of cowardice and desertionaa..of
the party at crisissin its history, and
yet it is possible that Hill might draw
out not only without a loss of prestige,
but even with an increase of it. Sup
pose the dissatisfied Democrats should
nominate third candidate..or large
number of the party should make it clear
thatsthey would not vote for him, would
not either one of these things furnish
Hill plausible excuse for -etiring2
Gould he not say that inasmuch as his
nomination had caused discord he had
retired in the interests of harmonys
And would not that explanation ex-
tricate him from an unpleasant situation
with something like eclat, and save
him from the disaster which inevitably
awaits him if he continues in the field?
OF course the time to decline to accept
the nomination was Immediately after
itswas rendered him and before the con-
vention adjourned, but still it can be
plausibly explained that the reason he
did not do it then was because he was
assured that he would unite the party,
and that subsequent events had shown
that the assurance was incorrect

The English public is much excited
owing to the sudden summoning of the
Cabinet, and all sorts of surmises as to
what calls them together are abroad.
Egypt and Madagascar figure in them
all. and the general belief is that cri-
sis has arisen in the negotiations with
France in regard to one or the other of
those countries or both. Ths French
have long been uneasy because of Eng
lands continued mold On Egypt, and
now it is said they have a new grievance
because England is secretly encouraging
the Hovas to oppose French designs In
Madagascar. Probably diplomats will
mooth over the controversy, though
the temper of the people will have much
to do with the outcome.

A Burglar and Fire Proof coffin.

- f@~."-
During the last few weeks Washington
has been canvassed by the agent of one of
the most peculiar pieces of funeral para
phernalia ever invented. II is burglar
and fire proof coffin, with SO many strange
adjuncts that person seeing it for the first
time would throw up his hands in holy hor-
ror at the audacity of the inventor and the
admirable nerve of 4 manufacturer that
will place such article on the market
Despite the many CHASTITY features in con-
nection with these collins and the almost
biesphcmous talk of the enteIprising agent,
Washington has proved to be a lucrative field
Tor him 10 work, and now number of cit
liens are equ ippedSwith the strangest bur-
ial appliance of the decade. The descrip-
ton of the coffin, a S given by the agent, is
as follows:
Primarily the coffin is fire and burglar
proof. The case is made out of boiler iron,
hardened with old bone, spruce bark, and
leather, which forms an enamel that can
not be penetrated by chisel or drill. 1t is
put together with angle iron and flush riv-
cts. The locks are all on the inside so
constructed with hooks and staples, with
spring behind them, that when a pin is
drawn out from the outside the bolts spring
down and lock automatically, and the coffin
is then locked SO that it cannot be opened
from he outside. The only person to unloc K
and open the strange coffin is the person
inside"

sThere can be no doubt that there has been
a great musical renaissance in England
during the last two decades-a true renais-
sance, for England was at one time one of
the leading musical countries in Europe.
The recent progress began with the decline
of the ludicrous Handel and Mendelssohn
monopoly, and the infusion of new blood
into sluggish musical veins. Such COM
osers as Hubert Parry, Cowen. Mackenzie
and Stamford have done much to retrieve
the musical reputation of England-so
much, that it seems shame that Ameri-
cans should be left in such comlete ig-
norance of what tina new English school
in doing. 1t would be particularly interest
ing to hear some of the v orks of the leader
Bof that school-Dr. Hubert Parry. Unfor-
tunately he writes chiefly for choral So
cieties, and it is well known that cantatas
and oratorios are not a popular species .cf
music in New York-partly. perhaps, owing
to the way in which they are usually sung
But he has written other things. and
those we ought to hear. The London Musi-
cal Times for September mas most sugges-
tive article on English music, with special
reference to the compositions of DR.. Parry.
1t is we'll known that one of Sir Arthur
Sullivan's greatest merits is his wonderful
skill in transferring the accent and spirit
of the English language to his music. DR..
Parry has one sonnet hing similar in higher
musical regions, where he resembles Eng
lands greatest composer, Purcell, and far
surpasses Haudel. IT is almost sensational
to find the conservative Musical Times ad-
hitting that lin the majority of casesEng-
lish words fit to Handel's phrases no bette
than careful TRANSACTIONS from an italian
original might be expected to DON. Y.

The Indictment as ain st j. c. Moore de-
serlbed the bank which he was charged
with defrauding as the National Bank of
the Commonwealth of Manchester.
But the certificate from The Comptroller
of the Currency, which the District AT
torney introduced, related to a bank de-
scribed as the National bank of the Com
monwealth at Manchester. The certificate
contained no evidence of the official ex-
istence OF such bank as was set out in
the indictment. inasnluch., as the institu-
tion described in the certificate was a
bank at Manchester, while that described
in the Indictment was bank of Man
chester. The variance was fatal, and the
jury under instruction of the Court re-.
turned verdict of not guilty. The de-
fence appears to have been aware OF TIE
defect all.along and was all ready to
take advantage of it. If Mr.. Moore is to
be prosecuted further proceedings must
be begun all over again and new indict-
ment found. A similar flaw is
said ito have been found in the in
dictment against Warren F. Putnam, the
cashier of The same bank, and doubtless
the proceedings against him will have to
be begun over again. Of course the ac-
quittal Of these two men on a flaw in
the indictment has no tendency what
ever to vindicate them from the serious
charges made against them. This being
the case, it is reasonable to suppose that
if they are conscious of innocence, they
will insist Oh further proceedings that
will give them an opportunity to vinoi-
cate themselves.

The reduction of the Democratic ma

in large measure to the opposition of the

about time that the cripples (meaning

enough to- prejudice the veterans against

THINGS DRAMATIC.
AM T. JACK,s ExrRAyAGANzA

SAM T. JACKS EXTRAVAGANZA.
 The living pictures with Sam T. Jack's Extravaganza company, at O'Prien's opera house tonight, have been pronounced by leading authorities to be among the finest of their kind. The subjects are well SC. lected, the backgrounds artistic and the women ideals of beauty-models of per- c tion, or, perhaps, perfection of models.
 The burlesQue, 1.-The Bull hgh ters,' Is highly recommended by the press as being above the ordinary. The burlesqde itself is founded upon the life and gallant deeds of a noble Spanish matadore. h Mir. Jacks version the hero is personated by a very pretty girl; the picadores and other attendants of the ring are equally pretty women, and the heavy villain is the bnl! himself, who terrorizss tine stage tor sev eral scenes, and whose death by tue hero's han is the climax of the play.
 THE sEABRooKE COMIC OPERA CON-
 PANY.
 Like most comic opsras of the present time, '.The Isle of Champagne,'' as illus. trated by Thomas Q. Seabrooke and his own comic opera company, is acever eao- oration of ludicrously absurd idea, beau tifully set and abounding in beautiful songs. It can be truly said that this is the first comic opera that has been heard for 8 long time which could honestly claim musical merit. The company is the same that has received so many encomums from the eastern critics, and the finished per formance shows that all have received the full benefit of their long training together, , and deserve the kind and fiattering things that have been said of them.
 The main idea Is that suggested by the name, i. e., that the island on which the scene is laid has nothing in the way of bev- craze but champagne. The king has be- come raggedly poor, and his fortunes are finally retrieved by the sale of water, which is found on New England vessel which hostile winds have blown or the shore.
 All the scenery is painted to suggest the national beverage and it's conventional receptaces, and the idea is consistently carried out, from the champagne tap on the helmet of the prime minister to the bottle helmets, which serve as the head pieces of Moot and Cbandon, the King 8 army. Champagne bottles are painted on all the scenery. They serve as the charac- ters on the coat of arms and as the towers of the castle. All is champagne, and the sparkling essence of champagne is every where.
 Seabrooke himself Is the center of the plot, as King Pommery II, and bubbles over with the froth of real, unforced mer- riment. He doesn't try to be funny, but he can't help it, and apparently he has as much fun as anybody during the piece. His expression is enough to cause u laugh, while his attitudes and remarks are con- vulsing.
