Tragedy is for the few. The actor must
be born for il, because the highest dra-
matte energy requires an exponent en-
dowed with especial gifts. AT least, he
must possess the convincing quality to
the highest degree TO present overmas-
tering tragedy. The slightest insincerity
in speech, action or gesticulation, sug-
gestion of superficiality in either OF these
three qualities robs the impersonation Of
greatness, because the thought at once
forces itself that the player is merely
playing and that he Is not dominated by
the character he is trying to hold up to
view.
Tragic actors CT the first rank may be
tailed on the finger tips OF a hand at the
present time. No one now looks for
greatness in tragedy because the actor is

thieves last night. They went sthrt IN

open every drawer, and scattered the
contents upon the floor. They went In

Thr Revolt ngnlnst PIntt.

a remarkable mass meeting was held in
the Cooper Union, New York, Monday
evening, when the great audience room
was packed with a gathering of people as
enthusiastic and as determnedly in earnest
as if heated political campaign was on.
The object of the meeting was to protest
against the attempted rule of T. c. Platt
in city affairs, to sustain Mayor Strong in
his reform efforts at The head of the city
government, and to convince the legsla-
ture that the people Of the city are very
much in earnest in meaning that they shall
not be deprived by political schemers Of
the fruits of last November's political rev.
olution. The demonstration was non par
tisan, and the speakers included men of
leading prominence in both the great polit-
cal parties, among them Cornelius ~.
Bliss, who has been chairman of the Re
publican state committee and treasurer Of
the Republican national committee, JO-
seph Larocque, chairman of the Commit
tee Of Seventy. a Democrat, and Rev. DR..
Parkhurst.
The New York Tribune takes an out
spoken stand against the rule of Mr..
Plat and openly charges him with using
his position as a Republican leader to trade
and dicker with Tammany, thereby max
ing the Republican party partner in the
corruption and iniquty Of Tammany mis-

calculation" The proposition to meet the
difficulty which Mr.. Reed had to make
was that to meet the deficiency in receipts
the secretary of the treasuary should be
authorized to issue three per cent certfi-
Gates of indebtedness in sums of $50 or
500 and mutiples thereof, leaving the
gold in the banking department untouched
for the redemption of the greenbacks.
The House defeated the Springer bill,

Thr FInnncieI situntion.

The financial situation at Washington is
very much complicated, and as yet there is
no positive indication as to the source from
which relief will come. Last Friday the
gold reserve touched its lowest point, about
S4l, 900, 600, and there were indications of
still further Withdrawals for export and
boarding; but the tendency was checked
by the news that the President and Secre-
tary Carlisle had arranged with foreign
bankers to take loan of 500, 900 in
30-year bonds. The announcement of
such loan has been daily expected, but it
has been delayed by a hitch in the arrange
ments. This is understood to relate to the
rate OF interest, which will not exceed 1
per cent, and may be placed at 3l.
According to one OF the leading Wash
ington correspondents the bond issue is an
accomplished fact, agreement for the sale
Of the bonds having been made and the
secresy in regard to it being purely an Off
cial fiction while waiting the action of Con
gress on financial matters now pending.
The evident intention of the administra-
tion to protect the gold reserve and the
credit of the government has not only
stopped the export of gold for the time be-
ing, but has caused small increase in the
amount of gold held by the treasury. Itis
the opinion of everybody in Washington
that no currency bill can pass the present
| Congress The Democrats in the House
are hopelessly divided on the question of
what should be done, and it is the settled
| determination of the Senate not to agree
to any financial proposition.
In the house on Tuesday Thomas b.
Reed of Maine delivered speech which
compelled the attention not only of that
body but of the country. The latest ad-
mnistration currency bill was under dis
cussion. The causes for the trouble which
confronts the country, Mr.. Reed said, were
two; first, the passage OF tariff law which
had resulted so far in a deficiency of Sl07,-
100000; second, the management of the
treasury, by which the business depart
ment, in the absence of revenues, drew up.
on the reserve of the banking department
instead of borrowing money on its own ac
count to meet its demands. With a sar
casm, which made the Democrats laugh in
spite of themselves, Mr.. Reed alluded tC
Mr.. Carisle's recent prescient declaration
that during the present calendar year the
treasury will enjoy surplus of S22, 563,
OPS, adding that she was glad the secre
tary did not go into cents, for that might

The Two Greatest Glaciers.

The most stupendOus of all the glaciers
of the world is that named after Humboldt,
which flows into Smith Sound from West
Greenland, forming a formidable barrier to
navigation toward the Pole. 1t is frozen
stream sixty miles wide. Seen from off
the coast, its face rises abruptly to a height
of about 800 feet, its depth below the sur
face of the water being unknown. All
a.ong this face it is continually shedding
gigantic icebergs. Next after the Hum
Doldt glacier comes a mi ghty river of ice
belonging to Uncle Sam. 1t is the Muir
glacier OF Alaska, close by Mount st. Elias
1t is lhirty-hye miles long by six to ten
miles wide, its surface occupying an area
of $50 square miles. The frozen stream is
forced through a narrow gateway between
mountains into the Muir Inlet, forming a
vertical wall at the waters edge 200 feet
high. Close up to this wall the water is
700 feet deep, and the solid ice extends to
the very bottom. Thus the total height of
the wall, which is continually shedding
gigantic icebergs, is 900 feet. The wall is
nearly two miles long, and its front has an
extraordinary coloration, varying from deep
blue almost to black

The Power of the TrolIsy Wire.

In recent discussion on electric rail
roading, an instructive comparison of the
relative efficiency of electricity and the
cable for power transmission was thus en-
bodied in figures. A steel cable, one and
one-half inches in diameter, travelling y
miles an hour, can transmit nearly 2OOO
horsepower. A copper wire with section
of one square inch will carry an electric
current OF 10000 volts, at 1000 amperes to
the square inch, and such current is now
being transmitted in this country. This is
equal to $1,000 horsepower, which is
enough to instantly rupture six cables such
as are ordinarily used in cable traffic.
