JACK TIE HlpPIR.

The famous English medical expert,
DR.. Forbes winslow, who came TO this
country fortnight ago to attend the
sessions OF the medico.legal congress
in Now York, anu who since his nr.
rival has delivered several addresses on
insanity and the causes and history
thereof. places the civilized world
under obligations TO him for nh ex-
PLANTATION OF what Is probably the
greatest problem In crime with which
mankind has ever come In contact.
We refer to the "JAck the Ripper"
murders In London, with all their
altrocious features, the diabolioal skill
with which the butcher performed his
work, the tieiidlsh precision with
which the mutilailon OF all his VIC
Tins was performed, and the almost
miraculous power with which he each
time effected his escape and kept his
Identity from becoming known. That
no was lunstio has been believed
from the very beginning; but that any
one should have been Aole to display
such method In his madness was hard
to understand, particularly as the
crimes stopped all at once and interest
In the human butcher appeared to
have died out at the same time.
According to the Springfield Repu5.
hodn, DR.. Forbes winslow declares not
only that Jack the Rlpper's identity
IL now known but no himself discov.
cred the arch. butcher, who Is now In
government asylum for tho Insane.

EUGENE SUES GREAT NOVEL
A BOwery Girl at the Grand-The
Stock COmpany,s Next Play
Gossip.

William Morris and his company
will begin a weeks engagement at the
Metropolitan opera house tonight in
a dramatiZation of 1.-The Wandering
Jew"
To dramatic popular novel is al
ways a hazardous experiment. The
writer is confronted by two dangers;
that of boring those who have read
the book by unnecessary explanations
and on the other hand that of making
his explanations too meager for those
Of his audience who have never read
the story. Failing to steer between
these dangerous rocks, many dra-
matte vessel has been lost. The dra-
matizations which have been the most
successful are those that treat of but
one incident taken from the parent
work. Messrs. Wheatcroft and Back
us, in their play of THE Wandering
Jew" in which William Morris will
appear at the Metropolitan opera
house this evening. have given the
public melodrama based on a single
incident taken from Eugene Sues
famous novel of that name. The in
cident is that of the medals.
Marius de Rennepont, $50 years be-
fore the play opens, is about to fly
from France for political reasons, and
leaves behind him the sum of $4,000
crowns to be held in trust for his
heirs. He also causes to be coined
oil w. c,la
bearing the same inscription, which
reads: BE at No Rue st. Francois,
Paris, February IL, 1882. Pray for
me-" The money has been invested
and has accumulated to an enor-
nous extent. The securities and the
will have been sealed up in an old
house in Rue ST. Francois, which
house is not to be opened till Feb. 10,
1882, when the will is to be read to the
four descendent heirs who possess
the medals. The four heirs are Adri-
enne de Cardoville, Rose and Blanche,
twin sisters of the Count de Ligny,
and Gabriel, founding. When the
play opens these heirs have no knoWl-
edge of the will, are unknown to each
other and are many miles apart. Dur
ing the action of the piece they are
brought together, learn of the inherit
ance and ultimately secure their fort
unes. The happy termination is
brought about by the hero of the
piece, aided by the wandering Jew.
The play is laid in France in the year
1880, and is in four acts and seven
scenes. The costumes are picturesque
and the electrical effects numerous.
