Improving an Opportunity.

A man who was somewhat the worse
for frequent ibations boarded Market
street car the other day, and while he
rode he kept the other passengers con-
vulsed. After ne had comfortably seat
ed himself two young ladies got on.
There was no room for them to sit down,
SO the inebriated man remarked to two
young men next him, why don't you
felloshs gesh up and givesh ladies sheath"
Seeing that they did not move, the
man addressed himself to the two young
ladies in about this style, "Girlsh, f |
could shtand, you could have my sheat. "
Here the conductor thought it time to
interfere and admonished the well mean
ing fellow to be quiet under pain of be-
ing put of. This seemed to have the de-
sired effect, for he kept still after he had
said: Conductor, Pm married man.

The train stopped with a jerk, and one

started, and she stepped on his foot again.
He looked up angrily. At the next sta

Madam, you may take my seat.
She smiled graciously, but before seat
ing herself she bent toward the lnan who
occupied the next seat.

He looked up confused for a moment.

There has been fun supply Of dis

been difficult through thick forest of
umbrellas Downtown there has been
flooding of cellars, and In some In
stances of stores There have been
lakes to cross In some streets and tor
rents to brave in others The rain was
the cause of an accident, fortunately
without injury TO passengers. on the
Brooklyn Bridge. The Third Avenue
cable road conduts filled with water
and caused annoying blockades. The
broadway cable alone escaped and
worked without difficulty,
Uptown the storm played havoc with
the now streets and sewers. Holes were
washed out rve and six feet deep. Ice
wagons and milk wagons sank to the
hub in the roads. A cab. horse and
driver were just rescued from n " cave

PROGRESS OF THE CoREAN WAR.

The news of "A Japanese victory by sea

belief that the superior lighting qualities

mainly through Chinese sources they
leave no doubt of the destruction of an
important part of the Chinese navy, of
heavy losses, and Of blow from which
1t will be hard to recover. 1t IL not yet

Restriction of Immigration.

To the Editor:
In reply to the party signing himself ''Maguire's
Cat" beg to state that we advocate head tax
on immigrants because under existing conditions
1t is utterly impossible for them to find employ
ment here without undertaking and displacing
own people. with the present glut in the
labor market, 1t is selt-evident that for every
hundred OF these immigrants who come here and
get employment an equal number OF work
ing people must be forced out onto the streets
That is reason enough for restricting immlgra-
ton And 1t does not meet the question to say
that II conditions were right. II trade was freer
there would be work enough for ali, That is no
satisfaction to the poor people who have been re-
duced to beggary by the competition OF the immI-
grants. for they very naturally say, Why not
keep the immigrants out until the conditions are
| rishted-that is. until such time as they
can come here and get employment without de-
privng us OF the means Of earning n livelihood
| Is there anything unreasonable In this argument

must depend upon Mr.. Grossmith.
The idea OF THE New Boy" is in

II II Is known that she Is married she
will lose n legacy. The idea. as ! say, Is
Ingenious. but in the play II Is rolled
out, spread out, stretched pulled and
distorted in every direction. The author
is determined not to lose n point. He
labors for every little effect, and you
can see him manipulating the strings.
The result is tiresome, for the new boy
is on the stage nearly all the time, and
you grow fatigued.
The complications are so broadly farci-
cal 40 wildly improbable, and so gro
tesque, that they should be ratified off

What shall the boy do that is absurd for
the man? What shall the man do that
Is ridiculous for the boy2 You can
hear Mr.. Law asking himself those
questions. You can see the little list
of eccentricties that he has drawn
up, and probably he checks this list as
the play proceeds. There are three acts
of 1t. when one would be quite enough
There were, however, some funny epl-
sodes In the play and also some bright
lines, but much OF the humor Is lost by
the nwkawrd work of willis Searle, who
plays the new boy MIR. Searie Is dis
| tincty lacking In humor. and one would
thilk that he was an amateur. The
personal eccentricities that such n role
needs are wanting. Mr.. Searles only
qualification for the part Is that he is
small. Miss Helen Kinnnird. as the
wife, is ponderous enough, but she is
not impressive, and she makes nothing
of the role. The woman I saw in Eng

We're led from the house and bound with
