AT the Grand.

Notwithstanding the fact that New
Years eve Is far from the very best
theatrical night in the year, a. good
sized audience down stairs and a we'll
filed gallery laughed themselves sore
over the absurd situations and comic
dialogue In Boucicault's London As
Surance."
The company established an enviable
reputation with Moths" and well
sustained it last evening.
Miss Remark was not in the cast,
but Miss Blanche Bates was a charm
ing substitute in the leading role, and
proved herself equal to either a COM
edy or serious part.
Mr.. Clark was inimitable as the pet
tifoging lawyer and his entrance upon
the stage was the cue for fun and
laughter. while Mr.. Blakemore fairly
captured the house as. the long endur-
ing, patient, good hearted Mr.. Spanker.
He had but few lines in Moths" but
last night proved himself equal to
more and good ones Mr.. Kyle seemed
to forget his Shakesperian walk in the
part of Dazzle, which was SO noticeable
in Moths" and by SO doing appeared
to far better advantage than in that
play.
Much has been said in advance of Mr..
Nannery, who appeared for the first
time last night as the old squire,
but he was a slight disappointment,
in that he did not seem at home in
his part, and when he laughed-well,
it was so forced that one could imagine
such queer sounds as coming from
anything but man excited to some
thing funny. His makeup and dress
were the best in his part.
Miss Cooks Interpretation of the
"horsey" Lady Gay Spanker only
served to add to the reputation she de-
servedly gained in Moths" Miss
Jean Coye was promised to have a bet
ter part in this play than in the first,

PLATT ON PARKHURsT.
The ex-senator Says He IS visionary
and Impractical.


Wdlkesbarre, Pa, Dec s1.-Ex-U United
States Senator Thomas G. Platt, Of
New York, who is here visiting rela-
tives, in an interview with al reporter
for the Associated Press tonight dis
cussed the Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and his
methods without reserve.
Il opposed DIR. Parkhurst," said he
because I did not think his methods
practical and because looked upon
his schemes as being visionary. His
idea. of q one-headed police force is
simply absurd and would put In the
hands of the man at the head of that
department power that he might use
to the great disadvantage Of the force.
His intentions are sincere, but they are
visionary and therefore of no use. He
has done great deal OF good, OF
course. but believe his head is swollen
by the datterg OF the New York pa
pers. His ideas regarding the suppress
sion of crime are no longer suggestions
but orders. He is continually saying
must and to this practical men not
only take exception but they criticize ii
harshly."
Referring to the resignation Of Su-
perintendent Byrnes Mr.. Plat said:
81 do not believe Mayor Strong will
accept it. Byrnes is too valuable man
to lose and when the department is re-
organized he will be at the head of it,
I think
Mr.. Plat refused to discuss the re-
cent attack upon him by a Republican
newspaper in New York.

Washington. Dec. Silt Is stated at
the agricultural department that the ag-
ricultural or Agrarian party in De Ger
man empire brought about the prohfbi-
tion of the importation TO Germany of
live cattle; dressed beef, canned beef and
other meat products from the United
Skates. Secretary Morton says the landed
preprietors In Germany are the protec-
tionists who teach McKinleyism IN high
Dutch" They desire, he says, to exclude
all compe ton which may arise from the
fertile lands OF the United States. In
proof of his position THE secretary gives
out the following extract from the morn
of the Kreus Nue. yissische Zeitung CDub-
ltShed at BerEn), which is the acknowi-
edged leading organ of the agraTian in
tereSts:
s.Tlhe business firms OF Hamburg, In
tereSted in the importation OF American
cattle. are doing everything in their pow
er to remove the prohibition which was
disease.
Experts went to England for the pur-
pose OF obtaining information as TO the
experience derived there about the i'm
portation of cattle-and to the surprise
of no one returned home with the most
favorable news. Englashmen, who look
tor diseases everywhere, and for this
reason have made the German business
life a. burden for years, state that they
are of the opinion that Texas fever has
mo dangerous character and is not con-
tagious at all. It ds to be hoped that che
Hamburg gentlemen will be mistaken II
they. are of the opinion that this optahn-
ism. which, from their standpoint, is cas-
lily explained, will be shared by the re
sponsible authorities.
The Hanseatic business Interest was
warned when dt formed the idea several
months ago of replacing the expectation
of human beings (emigrants), with the
Importation of cattle.
The conservative and agrarian press had
already at that time called attention to
the considerations against It on account
Of the danger of infections, but, as is Ill
ways the case, no impression was made.
'grha new course" (Caprtvfs), had ham,
pered business in so far as 1t was not
of an agricultural character, to such an
extent that the business people had an
idea they might do anything. Therefore
the cattle steamers were built and the ball
began to roll. That this prohibition, com
ing sooner han anybody could have anti
cipated, IS disagreeably felt, we are ready
to believe. but we are all the same con-
WINGED the Hamburg business interests
will bear this loss better than the Ger
man agricultural interests could bear the
I'M portation OF dangerous and contagious
diseases, and we therefore sincerely hope
as already stated, that the English
, 'travelers'' experience of the Hamburg
| expert will be shelved with the records
as valuable material" in Berlin and else

Gently [ witnessed an instance that was
a little unusual in the sang froid dis
played by the child's victim.
I was crossing Indiana in a Baltimore
& Ohio sleeper with a friend Of Scotch
Irish descent, in whose features the
Milesian traits are prominent especi-
ally the mouth. whose size is revealed
to the utmost by a srnooth-shaven face.
To while away the time we got up
game of whist, inviting for partners
two commercial travellers, who occu-
pied the opposite section. The section
in front of us was occupied by a styl-
ishly dressed lady. with a little girl of
about 5 years.
AS the game progressed, we noticed
that the child was kneeling on the car
seat, gazing steadily at my friend, new
er taking her eyes from his face for
moment. When the rubber was fin
ished. the drummers stepped across to
their section. and my friend and I rose
to stretch our legs.
The action seemed to break the spell
upon the child. and she cried shrilly:
"Oh, mamma! See what a big mouth
that man haS!
The young mother blushed a furious
red and caught hold of the child, say
ing:
flush! Hush?'
But he has mammal persisted the
child. climbing to her knees and fixing
her gaze on my friends caDacious
mouth. which was Just beginning to
expand into an all-embracing smile.

At this the whole car became uproar-

down, with a look Of exquisite torture
on her face,
Madam. said my friend, leaning
forward, don't reprove the child. She
is quite right. My mouth is large and
I am not at all annoyed by it,"
On returning from the next eating
station we found the section vacant
and learned from the porter that the
mother had moved her embarrassing
infant into the other sleeper

BYRNEs AND STRONG.
The Mayor Elect Inclined TO Retain

New York. Dec. 31-PoIice Superin-
tendent Byrnes' appearance before the
Lexow committee his offer to Mayor
elect Strong to resign. and the accom-
panying tender of his services in re-
organizing the police force are vari-
ously received. Rev. DR.. Parkhllrst
has animated that the inquisition
when Byrnes was upon the stand was
not made sufficiently searching for
practical purposes. Parkhurst insists
that Byrnes is responsible for most of
the corruption exposed by the Senate
committee and he is indignant over the
police captains 'pompous vanity and
-glorification" as he termed it.
Mayor-elect Strong is said to hold
Byrnes in high estimation and would
be inclined to urge the withdrawal of
the superintendent resignation we're

the Parkhurst society. 1t is known

made this announcement just after his
arrival at his Office at police head
quarters today.
These are President Martins words:
j have read the evidence OF the SUI
perintendent before the Investigating
committee of Saturday as well as his
interview given in the newspapers. I
have no desire to enter into any con-
troversy with the superintendent My
official acts have been under investiga-
ton for year. am willing to stand
the result Of the investigation. AS my
friends know, have been anxious to
retire from the department for some
time. This has never been a congenial
place. for me and my resignation will
in a few days be in the mayors hands,
Now the investigation is over, now that
am no longer under fire, I feel that
am justified in resigning and I hope
that Mr.. Strong will accept 1t at once
when he goes into office.
Superintendent Byrnes,. ne contin-
ued, was appointed to his present DO
sitiOn on my motion. He has supported
me, and has been supported By
the board since he has been
superintendent. Twice before the In
yestig-aSng committee I was examined
as to a dispute which I was said to
have with the superintendent when
he conferred with the captains;
twice under oath denied that I had
any words or disagreement with him.
