ADJUSTMENTS.

There is abundant dramatic mater
lal in this country for plays OF the ex-
citing order, 1t is stated by Mr.. Scott
Marble, author of Thomas II. Davis
and William T. Keogh's new sensation
al scenic production, THE Great Train
Robbery" In looking for material for
his romantic and martial western
play, he says that he amassed enough
matter for fifty plays of the kind he
was commissioned to write. The sur
prlslng thlrIy about It was that It was
for the most part all good, and far bet
ter than u lot of the stuff that has
been used In so-called western plays.
OF course. Mr.. Marble did not attemp.
the herculean task OF condenslnE the
matter for nifty plays into one, but II
may be taken as a matter OF fact that
he culled the gems OF the collection,
"The Great Train Robbery" has been
mounted In the elaborate style for
which Davis and Keogh are Justly cell
ebrated. The cast too, Is strong one.
1t is one OF the important attractions
announced for appearance n. the opera
House next Wednesday, October 10.

OURS VS. THEIRS.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE CAR.

CLAIMS, TO BE THE SUPERIOR
PEoPLE-BUT THEY ARE ALL
PLACED IN THE SHADE BY THE
UNITED sTATEs-HIs TRIP A
HAPPY ONE. D..,

'I'm glad to get home" said Senator
n. b. Scott to an Intelligencer reporter
last night, at the Mcclure. The senator
and Mrs. Scott have been touring Russia,
Bavaria, Finland, Norway and several
other points OF considerable historical
consequence,
There IS no place like the United
States then, senator2"
"Well, / failed to see any in the old
country. And 50 far as the much talked
of palaces and castles are concerned,
why, they are poor limitations OF what
we conceive castles to be. There Is not
much stability to them, and so far as
other buildings and dwellings 80 New
York city will place them far In the rear
for beauty OF architecture and simon
pure material, There is no comparison
at all in this respect"
GLOW about the railroads."
1.-THE railroads in Russia are miser-
able, while those of Norway and along
that line OF country are much better,
they are entirely inadequate when com
pared to our magnificent system"
Speaking about the car, the Russian
government and the serfs, the senator
said that the czar was on the right track
and doing good work. that he was popu-
lar and appeared 10 be common sense
man, with considerable stability and de-
void OF all semblance OF vanity. II must
also be remembered that not more than
10 per cent OF RussIa's population can
neither read nor write. This condition
OF affairs must necessarily mean that
such people Is hard to govern and that
harsh laws must needs be enacted and
enforced. The car Is bringing about
the compulsory educational proposition.
That will work wonders in Russia, as
the percentage of illiteracy Is lessened.
II is surprising how the poor suhsist In
contrast with our poor. It Is bread and
tea for breakfast, ditto for dinner, and
bread and weak beer for supper. and
yet they are physical strong.
In Finland and Norway he found
things different The people he found to
be clean, Intelligent, economical and
thrifty. He also said they were accom-
modatIng and that they would so out OF
their way to make 1t pleasant for the
visitor. The senator was greatly i'm
pressed with those two countries.
Concerning the president Of France,
the senator said he had a good face, but
like all the French, was intensely ner-
Yous.
The trip was happy one for both the
senator and Mrs. Scott, but when II
comes to compare countries. there Is not
a country under the kissing sun that will
compare with Uncle Samuel'5 for re-
sources, freedom, intellectually, happy
homes and an opportunity.

The council committee on health last
night resolved itself into an investiga-
ting committee. 1t had been alleged
by Edward Dick, night man at the
crematory that Superintendent Harry
Brooks who is on day turn, shirked
his duties, hence to be better informed
the committee summoned oil who could
throw light on the charge. After the
witnesses we're examined 1t was decid-
ed to have Brooks and Dick exchange
turns for two weeks.
There was nearly a full attendance
of the committee, Mr.. McKelvey being
the only absentee. The first witness to
face the Judge, Chairman List. was
Edward Dick, also the plaintiff in the
case. His story convulsed both judge
and jury. He related how hard he had
20 work at nights, as result of the de-
PENDANTS leaving SO much undone.
Loads of garbage that should have
been cremated at the day turn, Dick
alleged. were left for him to get out
of the road. This. with his regular
work, he thought was almost Rore than
he could stand and preserve his equili-
brium.
Then Dick was dismissed. and Super
intendent Brooks was ushered before
the tribunal He denied that he had
shirked his work. and stated that there
was more garbage hauled up on the
hill this year than previously, and that
as the gas In the furnace had TO be
turned off to allow a wagon to get
near enough to dump its load, there
was an Inconvenience and hindrance
10 his work. and he suffered as result
Mr.. Brooks also showed that the gas
supply was weak during the coal strike
Garbage Contractor Becker was the
next witness. He knew nothing OF the
differences between Brooks ana Dick
but had heard his employees say that
one was "knocklrg" against the other
He corroborated Mr.. Brooks testimony
that there was more garbage dumped
In the crematory this year than ever
before.
Charles Bennett. who was frequent
err at "the light house on the HILL" and
some near neighbors Of the lofty city
institution, where there Is a hot time
every night, also had their little say.
After It was ell over, upon the motion
Of Mr.. Schmidt, It was decided TO have
Brooks work al night and Dick during
the day. for the next two weeks, pro-
ceedng which 1t was thought might
determine something more tangible.
The Impeachment afforded no end OF
amusement 10 all In the committee

port submitted last night. bears out
