A. Young COlorcd Man Comes to Grief

A Young CO1orcd Man Comes to Grief
mt a ParlOF Social.
John Tolliver, a young colored man, to
whom Judge Miller referred as an unin-
vited guest at a ''parlor social" figured
in the Police Court this morning as an in
dividual who had been badly treated and
then locked up. Policeman Lightfoot res
cued the prisoner from a rumber of indig-
nant colored men during the first hour
Of the new year on Baltimore street
northwest.
Tolliver. told Judge Miller that he had at
tended watch night services at the Third
Baptist Church and had then gone to the
house Of James Young, colored, No. 33
Hanover street. A party of friends were In
the house about the piano, and Tolliver,
who was stranger to them, entered and
introduced himself as Billy"
Asked what he wanted, he replied: II
came to see Mary"
What Mary?'
you know Mary" he answered; Mary
go-round."
Then the young man used language
which made him Objectionable to his host.
Mr.. Young lost his patience and the unin-
vited guest found himself on his head in
the gutter.
When Mr.. Young discovered that his face
had been cut his sons and some of the
guests went in pursuit, and when Police
man Lightfoot found them Toiliver was
screaming murder" and the policeman
told the Judge he thought his presence
there had saved Tolliver's life. Fortunate
ly Tor Tolliver, he was near the Homeo-
pathic Hospital, and DR.. Harrison put
nearly forty stitches in three cuts across
his forehead. A long cut in his trousers
made 1t evident that some one had tried
to disembowel him. There was no one who
would say who had inflicted these ugly
wounds, and Tolliver was locked up.
Il suppose there were razors enough in
the party to free Cuba" Judge Miller re-
marked.
Friends Of Young claimed that Tolliyer's
wounds were sustained when he was
thrown In the gutter. but Dr. Harrison
said sharp instrument, probably a razor,
had inflicted Them
In his own defense for the cutting of
Mr.. Young the painfully wounded man
said he went to the house because he heard
there was good time there"
Although he said he had been at the
church meeting, the doctor said he was
intoxicated. Tolliver was given sixty days
in jail

A Charge of De.ert,on. .

Senator PETER has been requested to have
removed the charge Of desertion from the
record of Presidential Elector Linton OF
Cherryville. Kan. He said today that IL
could be accomplished only by special act
Of Congress, but that the charge could not
affect Mr.. Lintons status as an elector. as
he never had been tried by either a court
martial or in the civil courts. An investi-
cation OF the records. he said, shows that
Mr.. Linton left the army near the close Of
the war. after serving through several

Mansfield as the Baron.

Mr.. Mansfieid's Baron Chevrial is the
character which first told LIS that he was
to be OF the elect in art. The exquisite
finish OF his work, the insight, TIL realism,
forced themselves upon Us and flashed
themselves into our admiration from the
first few words that fell from the lips Of
the shameful old roue. His other triumph :
have added TO our knowledge of his versa
ulity and have made us admire him in
other ways. But there has been no one
in all the long line of characters that he
has since assumed that has been capable OF
a stronger impression on us. Nothing in
the pathoS or three wonderfully pathetic
closing scenes in Beau Brummeil, and moth
ing in the dramatic horror of his Hyie.
This Baron Chevrial is one of the charae-
ters that Mansfield is said to be intending z
to give up or it may be one of his ironies,
because he believes the public will like
him personally better il he gives US heroes
instead OF repulsive figures. This would
be a mistake. He can do nothing better
than this perfect picture, probably, almost
certainly. more convincing proof If
the public appreciation of the work could
hardly have been asked than last night S
audience at the Lafayette Square.
Inc playhouse was IHled with Drill
liantly dressed throng of well-kiiown men
and women And yet almost everyone
in the house had seen the play before. A
large number surely had witnessed it many
times. There is no personal attractiveness
in the character, nothing that is not dis
pleasing. 1t is nothing except the sheer
force Of the art Of it all that makes it
irresistible. The triumph of Mr.. Mans
field is the greater. Miss Camerons per-
sonality has all its best sweetness in the
character OF Marcelle. The company pos
sesses the excellence that Mr.. Mansfield
demands.
Nothing detraeted from the exquisitensss
OF the whole evening to the great audience,
except the presence of gentleman who
came il late and sat in the front row in
a Kentucky tow suit.

Mr.. Cleveland Getting Gar,

President Cleveland, writes Mr.. Curtis, IS
getting very playful as he nears the end
of his term, and is acting like a boy who
is soon to graduate at college. The mem
bers OF the Cabinet are whispering about
many funny things he has said and done
that are surprising to those who consider
him 4 serious person, without humor or
sentiment. But he is usually very sly
about his fun, and does not let the outside
world participate in the enjoyment. He
did, however, unbend Il little at the per-
Torrance of ChevaIier, the English ballad
singer, the other night when he and Secre-
tary Olney, withtheir wives occupied a box.
When the prestidigitator of the company
was doing his turn. he asked the audience
to send Il committee to the platform 10 see
that there was no deception. He walked
across the stage, pointing with his wand
at groups of gentlemen in the audience, say
ing: Won't you come to the platform,
sir?'' or, Won't you be kind enough To
assist me, sir??'' He approached the PreSi-
dents box, and, standing within a few
feet of him, repeated the request. The
President nodded his head and smiled, and
pointed to Secretary Olney. The eyes of
the audience were upon them, and the
author of the first permanent arbitration
treaty ever negotiated by two great nations
blushed.

HEARD AT THE SYMPHONY

The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave
Columbia last night. There is really very
little that is new TO write of the coming OF
this peerless body of musicians. As usual
the theater was crowded with cultured and
hence appreciative auditors and the concert
WAS received with the customary cnthusi-
asm which Mr. Paur and his players in
variably inspire.
Tie program varied in character, pre-
senting selections from the works OF
Mozart, Weber, Handel, Bizet and List
and there was measure OF novelty in the
appearance of vocalist with the orchestra,
the first time this season. The pla ying
was, as usual, beyond cavil, exquisitely
fine in finish, iruthful n tonal value and
sympatheticaIiy responsive 10 the delicate
suggestion OF Mr.. Naur's baton.
The symphony performed was Moza TT s
in q minor, which has long disputed the
claim of being the model symphony with
Beethoven's second. Won Wcber's over

SUICIDE, AND THE REMEDY.

The sermon of the Rev. Merle st. Clair
Wright OF New York on Suicide" has
stirred up almost as much commotion as
Bob IngersoIrs lecture on the same sub
ject Mr.. Wright, however, does not seem
TO have preached the sermon with that end
In view. He says that suicide and insanity
bre the price of civilization. He says that
he is speaking from a purely scientific
standpoint, stating what he believes to be
q fact, that there are more suicides and
more crazy people in a highly civilized
But that is not all He goes on TO say
that be believes that in certain extreme
cases it is Justiriable to take ones own
life, but adds that he wishes it distinctly
understood that he disapproves of it as
strongly as anybody else under ordinary
circumstances That, however is the para
porters are not quoting

and sincerity in making the statement. that
is another matter. As TO the effects OF
such a discourse on the average human
being, that is also another matter The
average case of suicide is tie result OF a
Bwift impulse, not OF deliberate and calm
reasoning. The old scientific treatment
which the New York minister gives the sub
feet would be mere likely TO send the hearer
home to consider if he really wanted 70 be
coward than To turn on the gas, if he had
inybentthatway. Itwouid act asa shower

Levy, a New York lawyer, has given it as
his opinion that DR.. Wnghtcould be charged
with manslaugllter should any person fol-

do so, even with all the scare-heads OF the
sensation newspaper to multiply the effect
The suicide question in the abstract is
