THE Republican organs are now at
tempting to throw the blame Of the sill
yer lunacy in the Senate on the Democ-
racy. This is nonsense. 1t was the Re
publican element that traded away the
control OF the Senate to the Populist-
silverite cranks for the sake of a few
saiaried offices. 1t is true that from Sec
tional causes there are more free silver
Democrats than Republicans in the body:
but the Democracy voluntarily surren-
dered control of the organization to the
Republicans, declining to hold it by
means of a deal with Populism. The
Republican lux gladly snapped at the
chance of making the deal. and surren-
dered everything. even their dear tariff
measure to accomplish it.

At the HYperion,

"The Lady Slavey" delighted big audience at the Hyperion last evening. The record of the play and It's great suc- cesses are well known. Pretty lyrics, graceful dancing and much animation and spirit in the performance are the features which make the present piece enjoyable.
 Most of the prominent people in the cast have been seen here before, and there was applause as the various fav- orites appeared. But there was thun- derous outburst on Miss Marie Dress ler's (of "Malaprop'' fame) appearance.
 Miss Dressler played her role in the same delicate spirit last evening. That is to say, she did not appear to be less intoxicated with the joy of the life than before, and she succeeded as well in communicating nerriment and excite ment to the scene, whenever she was present MT. Dan Daly is an old fav- orite. He is funny because he is so sad. He has a most lugubrious voice, and inexpressible is the gloom of his manner. For pure horse fun, he is probably unexcelled. Charles Danby has a good accent, and imparts consid- erable humor to his role of the sheriff S officer. Richard Carle, a matinee fav- orite, is really clever in his performance of the role of a chappie, and his dancing is excellent. His companion, ''Iley Dinkelblinkel," is made sufficiently ab- surd by Charles Kirke. Messrs. Tall mann and Burnham were also good In l their parts.
 1 Virginia Earle was missed in the role. The part was taken by Miss Marie i George, who acts well and is pretty, | but sings off the key. Her song in the i first act brought much applause-the popular "Baby Song" Miss Dressler sang her wooden Dooden Do' with all her customary vim and with the usual number and astonishing and even terri i flying variety of encores. La Petite Adelaide did a graceful dance in the second act.
 The piece will receive two presenta- tions to-day, afternoon and evening.

September's Salary List-Teachers App
 pointed-salary Changes-school Closing
 Next Friday-Clerks Appointed-sub- Districts-New Text Books. The board of education held a regu- lar meeting last night.
 The salaries for the month of SepL tember amounted to 25,715.17, an in- crease of $2S3. 93 over the same month of last year. The board thought the in- crease very small when the many changes were considered.
 Miss Josephine Hayes was appoint ed as substitute teacher at salary of salary of Mrs. Frances D.

The schools of the city will be closed | October 16, on account of the meeting of the Teachers association. Those teachers who shall attend will receive | their pay for the day.
 1 Margaret Scott, Christine Daley and Eleanor Norman, all graduates of the commercial course in the High school, were appointed as clerks to the prin- | cfpals of certain sub-districts for the remainder of the present school year at a salary of $20 per month, work to be- | gin October 12. Each of these ladies will divide her time between, two sub districts as the principals of these dis tricts and the superintendent may de- termine. The ub-districts are as foi- 1 lows: Day, Welch, Webster, Winches-
 ter, Lowell and Strong schools. By agreement these young ladies are to
 work on Saturday forenoon during the | Christmas and spring vacations, if | called upon; also, upon Friday and l Saturday following Thanksgiving, and all day when schools have one session. | On account of the consolidation of | sub-districts made at the close of last year it is necessary for the principals l to be relieved of all clerical work, so
 that they may be able to give the great | est amount of time to the work of su-
 pervision; therefore the appointments
 of the three clerks.
 The new books added to the list of | text books and for school use are the l Websters Primary Dictionary. the se- ries known as Young Folks Library of

 Place Matches to be Played To-day.
 The finals in the singles In the inter- collegiate tennis tournament were play ed yesterday afternoon, and resulted in a victory for Whitman of Harvard over Driscoll of Georgetown, 6-2, GA, 62. Driscon was evidently not in condition to play, being much weaker than the day before, when he defeated Ware of Harvard. In the second set Driscoll for time held the lead, but at no other time did he succeed in press ing Whitman. By the victory Harvard etspermanentpo possession of the $500 in- tercollegiate cup, first played for in 1889. The conditions under which the cup was offered were that the first col- lege to win seven points was to have it as permanent trophy. First place in singles and doubles was to count as one point Harvard has now won the requisite seven points, and Yale stands second with five points. Arrangements are now being made for the purchase of another cup to be contested for in intercollegiate tourna- ments The idea is to have Yale, liar ward, Princeton, University of Pennsyl- vania and Columbia to subscribe $1OO each, and the smaller colleges lesser a mo ofc,f fO,r nrI ,at, On the cup won by Harvard at this tournament are engraved the names of the winners in the tournaments since 1889, some of the names being placed thereon more than once, according to the number of times the player has won in singles and doubles. The names engraved on the cup, with the number of times of each, is as fol- lows: Chace of Yale 6, Hovey of Har- ward 3, R. D. Wrenn of Harvard. pres ent champion of the United States, 2, A. D. Foote of Yale 2, R. Huntington of Yale Campbell of Columbia, for several years tennis champion of the United States; Wright of Columbia, Q. A. Shaw of Harvard, who was once a winner in the Newport tournament; s. T. Chase of Chicago, w. A. Larned of Cornell Winslow os Harvard, Budlong of Brown.
 The drawings for the second place, single matches, to be played to-day, are as follows: Dodge of Yale plays Neely of Cornell; Driscoll of Georgetown plays Hooker of Yale.

 doubles for second place will begin this
 morning.

AT WARNER HALL.

An excellent concert was given at Warner hall last evening by Miss Fran cess McConville of Brooklyn. assisted by Miss Elizabeth Gaffney, MT. Joseph Mccarthy and MT. Joseph Criddle. The program was excellent and interesting throughout Miss Conville proved her self a pupil of the best methods and with experience she will probably win large measure of success. Miss Gaffney never fails to attract a large number of friends and admirers whenever she sings. She sings only too seldom now adays. Mir. Mccarthy is constantly im- proving. With his voice, he has a great future before him. MT. Criddle, who is a pupil of MT. Max Treumann of this city, sings with good production and ex- cellent style. The concert was we'll at- tended, considering the long list of rival attractions on the same evening.
