for final action. The first amendment
was the addition of another section to ar

This immediately raised spirited debate,
which lasted for more than three hours.
The vote was finally taken amid the ut
most confusion and the amendment passed
by vote of 1i7 to 32, the requisite number
being l3j. This amendment has been sue
ccssivcly introduced at the annual ses-
sions for four or five years past, but its
supporters have never been able to pass it
until this time. When this had been done
the hour was so late that the second i'm

This is pretty solid subscription and is
a credit to the rich men of New York. We
presume Carl Brownies opinion would be
that they can well afford to give the
money, which was wrung from the people
in the first instance, and that they should
give much more. Our opinion of Carl
Browne however, is that IL, by any pos
sible combination of circumstances he
should ever land in the ranks of New
York's millionaires-a very violent sup
position, we'll admit-his name would
never be found for fve-cent piece to a
subscription paper for the establishment
of great or little botanical garden.

Wilde Back on the stage.

An interesting phase Of the Oscar Wilde
case developed this week. When the as
tonishing disclosures in this case first re-
ceived publicity, the revulsion against the
successful playwright was such that the
managers of theatres were compelled to
withdraw his plays of which there were
five running in the London theatres. The
very name of the man on play bill was
such an offense to theatre patrons that
they deserted his plays almost in a body
Wilde was forced to trial, was convicted
and is now picking oakum in striped
clothes among the common felons of one
of the large English prisons. This week
one of his plays is not only restored to the
London stage, but the authors name Is
printed in large letters as an advertise
ment. OF course it remains to be seen
whether the venture will be successful or
not. But the chances are the theatre
manager has not mistaken his public.
Who is philosopher enough to explain
why play that is failure in May can
he subcess in June, in the same theatreP
Does the reason not lie in the fact that,
in the meantime, Wilde has expiated his
crime, atoned as much as he can, for his
misdeeds, and that the patrons of his plays
are now ready to cry quits. But our opin-
ion for 1t, there is large section of the
public that will never again accept his
whether it be on the stage or in
a book
