CINDERELLA ToNIGHTAT THEPARK

There is more interest felt in the o
and original cantata of Cinderella with
Variations" to be given at the Park
Reformed Church this evening, than is
usual at Sunday School entertainments.
The work is replete with local hits and
the music is aid to be very taking. The
chorus of Fandango, with castanet and
drum accomplishments, will be a hit; and
the humorous ditties of Pedro and Pom
poso GIorioso are very ludicrous. Gin
derella is the serious part of the piece.
She is aptly described by the Second
Fairy Godmother in a song with violin
obligato. The part of the Prince. to be
sung by Clifford Lee Jones of New York,
has some pleasing music, including a
pretty Duet with Cinderella and a quar-
tette, What Vision is This?"

Santa Claus had SO many places to
visit this wear that he sent word to the
Tabernacle not to expect him until last
night, and in consequence the Christmas

usual. The days wait had worked up the

that they applauded everything at the

the Rev. j. Lester Wells led in prayer.

upon the three young men who had been

Santa Claus was not, were as usual
more successful than their elders. The
singing was very sweet, and added
greatly to the entertainment.

THE Consolidated Traction Company
has done good work today in removing
the snow swept from its tracks by the
electric sweepers. The men who do this
work should have orders to completely
clean spaces about the crosswalks for
passengers to alight from the cars.
Motormen should have orders too, to
stop, scrupulously at the cleaned spaces.
There is much carelessness about this
now, and women often have to step off
the cars into slush ankle deep. The down
town corner of Washington and York
streets is a very bad place in this re-
spect. The motormen swing around the
curve and stop with the rear of the car
twenty-five to fifty feet beyond the-cross-
walk. The street is narrow and the
sweepings from track and sidewalk heap
It un with slush. The company would
gain much popularity by shoveling away
the snow so far down the street that
passengers might get off the cars with
out the sensation of a plunge bath.

IN reading the newspaper reports of
the Lexow- Committee hearings, the
great difficulty is to separate the asser-
lions of the witness from the i%nsinua-
lions of Mr.. Golf, and both from the
rhetoric of the reporter. Take any paper
you like, except the Sun" this morn
ing and read the report of Inspector
Williams testimony. When you lay it
down., you will find a general impression
on your mind tina Williams has had a
horrible showing-up. And yet there is
not one word in the testimony to justify
it. Even the papers themselves admit in
their headlines that Golf failed to draw
the least damaging admission from his
victim. The general impression on the
reader is caused by Colts running fire of
abuse and by the systematic calling of
names by the paper which runs through
every report.
of course, Williams is a sort of moral
monster. Everyone has known that for
years. But his treatment in the present
circumstances is no less an out
rage on personal rights and a
travesty of justice. If Golf can
make him admit anything by
legal methods of investigation, well and
good; if not, he has no right to supply
the deficiency by general suggestion.

THE RIOT ACT. Senator Lindsay Reads
 1t to His Brethren. Democrats Who Oppose
 the Wilson Bill. Threatened With the Ven-
 geance of the Party. The Disaffected Cannot Make the Income Tax the Scapegoat for Their Sins Of Omission.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, April 27.-In the senate today MT. Lindsay said the country ex- pected opposition to Democratic re- vision of the tariff from the Republi- cans, but could not have anticipated that members of the party that won the last presidential election on their pledge of reducing the tariff to the needs of revenue only would oppose it.
 The justice of the extraordinary and unfounded clam that an industrial panic was caused by fear on the part oi the people that their expre ssed will would be carried out, had received i'm piled recognition in Democratic quart CTS. The Wilson bill is not what such a measure should be but it is infinitely better than the existing law. Tariff re- form which should be effected at once would hasten the return of better times upon an enduring and constitutional basis.
 Senator Lindsay would have pre- ferred tariff bill pure and simple, un. vexed and unem barrassed by questions concerning internal revenue, but the bill is here and if enacted it will be 8 great step in the direction of reform.
 Senators who serve notice on the Democratic majority that adhesion to the income tax feature of the pending bill may defeat tariff reform and point out the appalling consequences to the Democratic party of such defeat, must take their warnings to themselves and reflect whether in case they decline to act in concert with their Democratic brethren, and by so doing keep upon the statute books the Mckinley tariff laws, the county will hold them guilt, less of all other offenses. The income tax had been declared constitutional by the supreme court.
