Think the tendency to Capitalization,
the development of which began with
the necessities OF 1861, has reached its
elimination in the acts OF Grover Ceve-
land, president nominally democratic.
At first thought this is one OF the most
singular contradictions in American
politics, for htme rule is row, as il
always has been the very foundation
stone OF democracy.
But Cleveland IS not a democrat,
though he so calls himself, and he is
not republican, (or no republican

Brown Athletes.

Comparatively speaking Brown has only
been recognized by the collegiate world
as an opponent In track athletics within
the past few years. This season the Uni
versity is harder at work than ever pre-
pairing her sixty odd candidates who went
In training on the Sd of the month, for
the great track and field event of the
Eastern colleges, namely, the New En-
gland intercollegiate Meet, which Is to
be held at Worcester, Mass, on the 23d OF
May.
At the annual Spring field day OF the
college, which will be held on Wednes-
day next on Lincoln Field, the men now
in training will compete in their various
events and from the showing made then
the permanent team, probably number
ing % In all, will be chosen to wear the
brown and white, and to represent the
college on the cinder path throughout
the season OF 1895.
As near as can be judged thus far the
battle at Worcester Will be confined to
Brown, Dartmouth and Massachusetts,

II Is possible, In a rough way to sum up
their chances of victory. 1t is foregone
conclusion that Brown will lose five
points at least, through Captain Macom-
ber's iDeligibility to compete. This is
due TO the clause in the constitution OF
the New England intercollegiate Associa-
tion, which prohibits q man mreting
on the team after having represented his
college four years. Macomber entered

A KETTLE OF TAR.

Were Rung.

Persons who could see the center OF the
city at 80 o'clock today were sure that
O big fire was in progress. There were a
good many. however, who were not SO
sure about it, and then there were brief
discussions on street corners, while q
great bank of smoke doated over the
Studley building and property on its east
side. The alarm from box III seemed to
settle the question, and as piece OF fire
apparatus went around the corner OF
Orange street the firemen were heard to

Firernen enjoy big fires when the weather

tion, much after the fashion or newspaper

dents and havoc of sll sorts. The firemen
like to "est smoke" and here seemed to
be the best kline of chance to appease
appetites, but there was considera BILE
disappointment when they got into Hay
street and found the trouble consisted of
n kettle OF tar which boiled over while
the pot was neglected by the workmen
who were employed. in repairing the stree
with granite blocks.
The fremen surrounded the pot, and
several citizens who had arrived at the
scene first offered advice as to the best
way OF stopping the great amount of
smoke that alarmed the neighborho

was no damage, but the stone layers had

The Irving-Terry Engagement.

On Monday night, April 20, the famous
player and play producer, Henry Irving,
with his renowned associate, Miss Ellen
Terry, and their great corps OF companion
Opera House for brief sojourn OF three
nights. On Monday night, April n, the
most admired, in many respects OF all
the plays penned by the immortal Shake
speare, 1.-THE Merchant of Venice" is TO
be given.
No play in the extensive repertoire of
the noted English actor and manager
affords opportunities for great and I'M
pressiye acting, not only on the parts OF
Henry Irving and Miss Terry, but also OF
all their many associates In the company,
equal TO the performance Of "The Mercn-
ant OF Venice" F" The actor's conception
makes the prescribed Hebrew a tpye; one
who embodies the injustice done to his
race. In the execution OF this conception
we see the gaunt and patient figure OF the
money-ls nder, active into thrift; but more
active in the pursuit OF a terrible revenge
upon representative OF his oppressors.
His greed--if so II Is TO be called-is o'er-
topped by his desire for requital of many
an unjust insult. The endurance, the
sufferings, the fierce desire for retaliation,
and finally the sinking, both mentally
and physically, under the exercise of the
laws OF Venice--laws with mighty little
equity in their construction--these emo
tions, incident to the performance, are
but parts of the consistent whole with
which Henry Irving endows this imper-
sonation. A fit companion-picture In
worth and excellence OF assumption is Miss
Ellen Ierry's Portia, a role in which she
STANDS unrivalled. The vivacity and true
womanly spirit, the grace and refine
ment, the picturesque spriteliness of
Portia seem native TO Miss Terrye best
ability and her assumption becomes an
EN- bodiment, a living likeness, of the
poets creation. All the scenery and ap-
pointments for this production as well as
all the other plays to be given here, will be
brought to the city by Henry Irving and
viii show a magnifcence OF scenic embel-
lishment never before exampIed here.
