REMOVE THE PRESENT TRUSTEES &C.,.
Albany. Feb 2.-"If this bill does not pass I
Will Insist upon investigation OF the New-York
and Brooklyn Bridge that Will put people in
Sing Sing than John Y. McKane"
That was the threat made by Senator Bradley
tonight at Of the most interesting hearings Of
the session. IL made before the Senate Com
mttee on Cities. The bill under consideration was
Senator Bradley's. authorizing the Mayor OF Brook
Ign to appoint three and the Mayor OF New-York
two trustees for the New-York and Brooklyn
Bridge. The Senator began his remarks By stating
that the taxpayers OF the two cities had been
swndled by the trustees OF the Bridge ever since
the structure was built. Brooklyn had been un-
Justly dealt with. 1t never had had equal represen
tation. and yet 1t paid twothirds Of the expense OF
the Bridge. The present trustees had neglected
their duties and had saddled upon the city Of Brook
Ign hundreds OF thousands of dollars OF unneces-
sary expense. They were either incompetent
criminay negligent There two foremen in
charge OF the Bridge. drawing between them $1,000
year. They had neglected their duty, and the
trustees by employing them had been guilty Of
thievery and robbery.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Blandy. OF New
York City, said the Mayors OF New-York and
Brooklyn were opposed TO the bill. 1t unjust
that Brooklyn should have representation than
New-York In the Board OF Trustees. Ii Mr..
Bradleys measure and not wanted by the
people of the two cities.
Mr.. Bradley said that every respectable man in
the two cities wanted the bill He said that the
Bridge at its inception was but private
swinde taxpayers, 1t had been a big scheme for
certain men 10 get money out OF. and then saddle
the two cities with II, The Legislature for twenty
years had never dared 10 investigate the Bridge.
Even the late Governor Samuel j. Tden had been
forced 10 keep his hands OFF, he would not have
received renomina ton. Then the Senator made
this threat investigate. The Bridge was q hos
pta for sick politicians. Men discharged from the
police force Of Brooklyn for ntmidating had
been appointed after few days 10 positions on the
structure. The men who were handling the Bridge

The janitor has an important bearing
on the actors condition, which finds its
expression in his playing and possibly
on his nervous organization. He sup
plies the house and, in most cases fur
nishes quarters for the actor such as
no self-respecting slave owner would

For the public nothing Is too good.
For the actor, on the other hand, any
thing is good enough. Instead of silken
draperies. he finds only a tattered cur
tain at the window, if, indeed, he find
n curtain at all, or even Il window
which it might cover.
Instead of soft comfortable chairs,
one wooden chair, none too clean, or n
chair minus n back, will be the only
seat, and not infrequently, If he wishes
to sit down, he must do so on his trunk.
Instead of delicately tinted walls, he

in many instances running water in

profound respect for the owner Of
that tail. He is an English bulldog
and one of the most courageous and un-
relenting of the whole dog race.
Resolutely and gracefully poised
straight out behind is another tail

not. 1t belongs to the bulldogs cousin,

dogs there is one which commends it.
