.sPower of the Press" at In
Academy.
'sThe Power of the Press" to be brought
out Monday, September 8, at the Acad-
envy of Music, illustrates a peculiar part
of New York life which is not unnat-
ural. The Central figure is a man of
popular habits, who, in a drunken con-
dition, is accused and sentenced to prison
for another mans crime. The prison
garb cIings to him on his release, and he
is Stunned by his friends. With a reso-
luton to clear himself he secures the
aid of the press and brings the guilty
to Justice. On the stage, where the tale
is unfolded, with the assistance OF a
number of tableaux, it moves clearly
and with briskress. 1t is set with much
more than commonly fine scenery. and
is clothed with accuracy and fine taste
For this reason the eye is abundantiy
fed, and the pictorial effect is wholly
gratifying. There is not a common
place piece of painting in the whole col
lection, while some of the sets are strik-
ing examples of the painters and me-
chanie's art. In THE Power of the
Press Mr.. Pitou has a play which con-
tains every element of popularity. AS
the opening day is Labor Day, there Will
be a special holiday matinee in thea after

LOCKED HIM IN THE PARLoR.
Thomas Rutgers Adventure with a
Well Dressed Intruder.

A wen-dressed young man, describing
himself as Martin McGlone of Brook
lyn, was a prisoner in Justice Lock
woods court this morning, charged with
breaking and entering by Thomas j.
Bulger of No. 245 Warren street.
Last evening Mr.. Bulger was surprised
upon entering his parlor to see a young
man lying in an arm chair with his
legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, coolly
surveying his surroundings. Bulger
asked him what he was doing there, and
the intruder replied by rushing at him
with a knife. Bulger fed, closing the
parlor door and locking his cheeky Wis
itor inside. He then summoned Police
man Siller. The intruder gave Siller a
lively battle, but finally consented to
accompany him to the station house.
He explained to Justice Lockwood this
morning that he was intoxicated when
he entered the house. He was COM
mitted.

neither a very bad nor a very good one.
Mr.. Beekman can carry on the business

his advancement adds nothing to the

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

The death Of Lord Tennyson was not more
significant to Englishmen than is the death Of
Oliver Wendell Holmes to Americans. These
two men represented the last Of the venerable
English classics. Many ether modern poets
we may admire, but these we loved and ven
Grated.
Whittier, Longfellow. Bryant, Lowell, and
Holmes wrote in a period when poetic mate
rial seemed more plentiful than in the present
For the basis OF their songs Of nature they
had the wild beauty Of regions that now
serve purposes more uulitarian; for didactic
verse they had the stirring themes OF slav-
cry days, and for epic subjects they drew on
the scenes Of our great civic conflict. These
were topics Of national interest and they en-
listed national sympathy. and the quintette Of
singers gained a national leEence.
What have we now? The tariff and silver
these are the present national questions and
the country at large is perfectly willing TO
leave their rythmical reproduction to the
campaign poets. Instead of national poets,
then, we have provincial singers. Bret Harte
and Gene Field in the Vest, Riley in Hoosier-
dom. Page and Stanton in the South have
secured fame by preserving local types which
are only component parts Of the entirety Of
AmerIcanism. Outside of these are the So
ciety versihers Of the great cities and few
manufacturers Of transcendentaI sonnets.
One virgin field remains for the genius Of
a great American singer. 1t is what we call,
in general. ..the social problem The strug-
gle against that caste which is based on q
criterion OF money; the problem Of poverty;
the dangers Of our political system; the
growth OF great cities; the toll Of the
agrarian-alI these are tauGht with intensest
human interest and are as far reaching as
the boundaries Of our brotherhood OF States
William Morris and host Of others have put
the struggles Of English life into the music Of
words. There is no lack Of material to ex-
plain the failure Of this country TO possess a
truly great living poet.
