old GLORY

The small boys in the gallery OF the
Columbus Theatre last night shouted
themselves hoarse with enthusiasm at
the heroics OF "Old Glory" which Is
described as "a story of our bluejackets
in Chill" rewritten and adapted from
the original of Messrs. Pettitt and Mer-
rift by Charles r. Vincent and William
A. Brady. There Is quite a medley or
names connected with the play but
they are quite unnecessary. "Old Glory
is merely the good, old, old thing done
up as new, with specialties.
The principal act takes place In chill,

HORSE CARS, ALSO.

A Few Observations on the Discom-

While attention has been to a great
extent directed to the cable railway

Worlds" fight for better travelling ac-
cOmmodations for the public. they are
by no means the only offenders in this
respect.
There Is not a street-car line In the
city, aud this includes all the cross
town lines, which does not pursue the
same system, so far as it is able to
do so, of overcrowding its cars and CIV
ing the least possible accommodation TO
the public. The putting on OF extra
cars Is thing not to be thought or so
long as the ordinary run of traffic can
be taken care Of with those operated
on the regular schedule time.
This is the case with the Second ave
nue., Sixth avenue, Elghth avenue,
Grand street, Fourteenth street ana
Twenty-tnird street cross-town lines,
the Boulevard cars and the Belt line
Every morning and evening the cars on
those lines are packed to their utmost
limit, and whenever passengers who
have secured places inside the car are
to be let off, a stop OF several minutes

clothing has not been torn from his
back.
People who live up along the west
side I'm the vicinity of Riverside Drive
have special grievance against the
boulevard line for this reason. The
cars themselves are uncomfortably
small, ill-smelling and dirty, and when
they are damned full OF people on
hot stuffy evening, or during rain
storm like that of the past week. they
offer the most wretched accommoda-
tons to the traveller imaginable.
Thousands of people are fairly COM
PEELED to use these cars to reach their
homes. because the elevated stations in
that portion Of the city are far apart, and
so far east that to patronize them would
necessitate n long tramp. They find 1t
much more convenient and less tedious
to take the Boulevard cars for Forty
second street-that Is. those who have
occasion to travel during the middle of
the day, but when the rush hours come
1t is very problematical If those ad-
vantageS are secured.
Tie cars are run at such long in
tervals that 1t rarely happens that two
are in sight at the same time, and the
chance of getting a seat in one of them
at such times is practically nil.

1t Is of the most vital Importance to
the best interests OF the city that the
criminal courts. where offenses against

kept pure and free from suspicion. II
corrupt Judges sit on the criminal

homes are insecure, and justice becomes
a mockery.

Depew Says He lis Not Seeking a

the inscriptions on the tombstones.

Another explained his presence in such a
place by saying that the Doctor was
looking for a nice, quiet spot to bury
the Morton boom in after election.
Dr. Depew laughed when these ideas
were suggested to him. He explained
that there was neither poetry nor poll
tics in his visit. The president of the
New York Central Railroad has great
faith in country graveyards as real
estate investment. since the Court of
Appeals has declared that the city can

A REAL UNION.

The politicians are of course opposed
to the Committee OF Seventy. They can
not attack the character Of Its members,
who are among the most prominent OF
our business men, and so they resort
to ridicule to bellttle their work. They
ask how many OF the Committee want
office, and they assert that at least
twenty OF the Seventy will go to the
polls, provided election day is fine and
there is no crowding at the ballot-box.
This is all nonsense. 1t is not likely
that any member of the Committee VIII
be named for office, and the whole sew
enty will doubtless register and vote.
II the Republicans and all the smaller
anti-Tammany organizations, like the
Good Government Clubs, the Grace

The Steckler Democracy, should unite
