HE enEa cement of the Bo>toniaus re-
calls some rather interesting matter
in connection with this organization.
The conception ofsucha company was
no doubt an afterthou~lt with the
bright little Yankee woman w proieCteda
production Of "Pinafore' in Boston with an
ideal cast. made up of the most prominent
church choir singers and local musical ce-
lebritieS OF the Hub. To Miss ObCr belongs
the credit of bringing into existence this or
ganization. During the height Of the popu-
Iarity of the ''Pinafore" craze this little
lady, VINO had lad some experience III the
lyccum bureau and lecture business, su--
ec>ted the idea to the mana cement Of the
Boston Theater, and 'PinafUre' was pro
duccd with Rarnabee. whitney Beehe
and other prominent singers in the cast.
So successful was the presentation OF tins
dainty composition that Hiss 0bcr con
tracted for and promoted an opera com
pany, known as the Boston Ideals. That
genial comedian, Henry Clay Barnabec
who, with his partner William II MaCDon-
aid. directs the policy OF the present CON-
pany, recently related 10 the writer some
interesting incidents OF this first prodGc
ton of ''Piuafore' BaEnabee was the Sir
Joseph Porter and Georgia Cayvau. now
the wellkHown actress, was the Hebc.
"Pinafore'' marked her debut on the stage,
and Barnabee describes her as very shy and
denure-but terribly in earnest

A loud laugh follow eel, and Georgia burst
into tears: hut then she was from Port

the organization under its former and

it is a curious fact that out of the original

word titles seems likely to take US back
to the noble days OF classic tragedy, where
this form prevailed. Three of Shake
speare's noblest plays, Hamlet, "''Othello
and Macbeth are monotitles, and King
Lear" is more often spoken of simply as
Lear" Bulwer's two serious plays were
known by single word, ''Richelieu," and
Money
The English comic writer's favored this
style, and it is affectedin each of the Robert
scnian cycle: Ours, Home, School, PLAY,
Caste, etc. Sardou never had conspicuous
success witha name of more than one word
Theodore, Fedora, Helena Cleopatra, Id
Tosca, Gismonda. etc. Note, too, how he
inclines to the final IA The only re-
cent notable plays with unified names are
Trilby, Bohemia and Rosemary. These can
scarcely be said to denote revival OF this
form.
There Is another consideration in dra-
matte nomenclature which a practical
manager will look 20 almost as soon as to
how the name will appeal TO the ear, the
Imagination and the memory. He takes
his paper and pencil and figures on how
it will print He cannot talk Iiis titles TO
the public nor gauge their memory: he must
reach them by print,
He wants a title that looks well in
type; one that stands out, fills twenty
eight sheet yet is short enough TO stand
black on singie-column display. Some
times the formation OF the letters into
the words, or the adaptabi!ity OF the
words for ingenious arrangement, decide
him in his choice. For this reason only
the strongest sort OF title will dissuatfe
"A manager from brevity. He likes half
IL dozen round letters which he can fit
into bold type and catch the swiftest
moving eye. The titles that are valuable
are such IS they who run may read and
remember. The economic principle OF dis
tribution enters into play naming as into
everything else. The man who can name
his play correctly and well has achieved
a large portion OF what is requisite to
success.

THE wHEELMEN IN POLITICS.

Good roads is an issue indorsed by
wheelmen of all faiths. They may
chase other isms, but on that ground
they are united. The power of the
wheelman in politics has just been felt
in New York, where the railroads
framed rule which barred bicycles
out of baggage-cars Failing to WOO
the magnates over to their side of the
case the cyclists fathered a measure
and it was pedaled into the Legisla-
ture. Only one negative vote was cast
in the Assembly, and the bill wens
through the Senate with the ease of a
scorcher going down hill The rail-
roads, however, have been protected
for, while tits made obligatory upon
the roads to carry bicycles free for
passengers, the latter must give re-
lease for damages. There can be but
one result. The modern baggage-car
in New York will be fitted up with in
ventions to keep bicycles in place.
Ohio wheelmen and other divisions of

of the New York bill, will ask their

A judicial Change.

Senator Hutsinpiller has introduced d
bill to reorganize the Seventh Judi
cial District, that is of much interest
to Gallia county. 1t provides that
Gallia, Vinton and Meigs counties
shall be detached from the Third Sub
division and added to the First Sub
division with Hooking, Perry and Fair
field counties. This will leave Athens,
Washington and Monroe in the Third
with two judgeA and give the First
three judges. The First Subdivision
is at present Democratic, but the
change proposed in it will make it Re-
publican and relieve Fairfield, Perry
and Hooking of two Democratic judges.
Under the arrangement by which
the bill is to receive support the upper
counties of Fairfield and Perry will
have one judge, Hooking and Vinton
one, and Gallia and Meigs one. 1t is
understood that Gallia shall have the
judge for Meigs and Gallia, and he
will be nominated this summer if the
bill becomes a law.
Under a misapprehension, opposition
to the bill developed in Washington
and Athens county, but it was quieted
at conference held in Columbus We'd
nesday night when it's provisions were
understood, owing to the feeling in
those two counties that Gallia should
have Common Pleas Judge. Strong
assurances have been received from
Meigs county of support for Gallia's
candidate, and it is believed that the
bill will have smooth sailing and be-
come law With Washington and
Athens counties agreed not to oppose
it, and no opposition in Meigs Gallia,
Vinton or the other counties concerned,
it ought to be passed. If it should be,
1t is altogether likely that D. w. Jones,
Esq, will retire from his candidacy
for Circuit Judge, and become Gallia
county's candidate for the nomination
for Common Pleas Judge.
The Judicial Convention to nominate
a successor to Judge DeSteiguer will
be held at Athens next Thursday
whether or not the bill becomes law
before that time, the only difference
being that if it does become a law,
Meigs Gallia and Vinton counties will
not participate Gallipolis Tribune.
