Large audiences witnessed the play and
loudly applauded the efforts of the actors.

showed himself to be almost as good an

holds a peculiar position in the heart of
the world. No one has secured to him
self more of the affection of the people
than this prince of magicians. 1t has
often been said of him that no innovation

Recorder meDoneugh's Latest Atro-

The sad case of Gussie Schultz empha-
sizes the need of two things, both Of
which the Legislature should give atten-
ton to in January. One of these is an
amendment to the laws relating to the
Industrial School for Girls. by which the
age of commitment should be extended to
seventeen or eve eighteen years. It is
a very serious drawback to the useful
ness Of the institution If, as Recorder
NcDcnough asserts, no girl over fifteen
years of age can be sent to it.
The second matter Is q legislative in

hardly a day passes but some outrage on

worse than the everyday one. But this
case alone should be sufficient to stir de-
cent men to action.
Here we nave a young girl brought into
court and railroaded to the County JAN

DR.. Parkhurst is gradually showing
himself in his true eolors. In the extra
ordinary TRADE which he preached yester-
day, by way of thanksgiving sermon, he
uttered statements regarding the social
life Of New York which would seem to fit
him either for straight-jacket or a coat
OF tar and feathers. Here is one of his

husbands or wives there are in this COM
munity, but I should calculate the there
might be well on toward a quarter OF a
million.
The population of New York is about
two millions. 1t embraces about eight
hundred thousand married pesons. DIR.
Parkhurst calmly tells us that $50, 900 of
these are adulterers. This is about one
third-to be exact, five-sixteenths.
This is certainly a pretty statement
from a Christian pulpit. that FIVE out of
every sixteen married -persons-men and
women-are immoral.
If Bob Ingersoll or Johann Most said
this, how Or. Parkhurst would hold up
his sanctimonious hands in horror. Now.
how long are the people of New York
going to stand a wretch of this sort lectur-
ing them and hectoring them from the
yantrse ground Of a fashionable church?

The hand Of time had fallen heavily upon

During their conversation Bishop Grant
asked his Old master if he could DO any

He further told him that If he would leave

Texas he should be provided for during tbs
remainder of his life. but this Mr. Rauler-
son declined as he had little home here
and felt that he had but short time longer

to the bishop:
