IEAN RENOLnS

Last evening at the Bijou, Miss Rem
olds portrayed the characters of Lady
Isabel and Madame Vine in East
Lynne" Her rendition of the charac-
ters takes one back to the days when
Clara Morris was in the zenith of her
career. Acting to-day is more natural
than it was in those days, and Miss
Renolds belongs to the modern school.
There is no straining for effect. She is
intense, subdued and natural. The
more one sees of her, the more one. ad-
mires her. 1t will be strange, indeed,
if she does not, in very short time,
rise to a position of eminence in the
theatrical world. The play was well
acted and beautifully staged. Hilliard
Fleming was manly and forcible as
Archibald Carlyle, and Miss Robertson
enacted the part of Corneha to perfec-
tion. Lottie Blackburst's dancing re-
ceived well-deserved encores. To-day

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
LONDON AND PARIS COMPARED

LONDON AND PARIS COMPARED.
London has always a terribly shabby
look to one who visits her after two or
three months residence in Paris. Lon
doA, of course has her own individual
and peculiar charms. But at first you
fail to recall them, and an unpleasant
sharpness Of contrast alone besets your
vision. Nearly all the houses strike you
as lower and far less imposing. 1t is
an effect like that which one feels on
going from Broadway, New York, to
Broadway, Brooklyn. But here, OF
course the comparison ends, for al
though New York is exceedingly ugly.
Brooklyn is supremely So On the
other hand although Paris, taken all
in all, is wondrously and imperially
beautiful, London, too, has her beau
ties, though opposite as dusk from
dawn. But in the French metropolis all
charms are patent to the instant gaze;
you find yourself simply submerged
with admiration; nothing is left to
grow upon" you, except a delight and
surprise already intense. With London,
however, it is wholly different. She
will not give herself to your apprecia-
ton with promptitude. She demands of
you observance and study. She has her
dignities and grandeurs. but these are
clOaked, like the characters OF her peO-
pie, in an almost severe reserve. I can
imagine French persons forever dislik-
| ing her-which they usually do-and /
see no reason why Italians should not
utterly detest her But now. during
this fine, salubrious July, which bathes
her solemn rows OF buildings in con-
stant sunshine, I find my old love re-
turning alt the rapidest pace. Never
believe, was there such sunshine as
that OF which the English Summer is
capable Some abiding quality OF
haze in the air makes II glisten az

Bishop Turner, Of Georgia, has re-
vived the old scheme for the return Of
the negro race to Africa, and is espe-
clally interested in the work Of the In
ternatiOnal Migration Society, which is
organized upon much the same line as
the Colonization Society half a century
ago. Bishop Turner. in the interest Of
his race. has visited Liberia several
times, and while he thinks it is no
place for "shiftlesS, no-account ne

minister in London, thinks the plan oi
establishing a negro state or empire IN

headed by Bishop Turner, is the colo

It is drawn in Africa also as soon al
there are sufficient inducements t

MANY COMPLAINTS
WORK WHICH NEEDS THE ATTEN-
TION OF THE STREET AND
SEWER AND HEALTH BOARDS.


TION OF THE STREET AND
SEWER AND HEALTH BOARDS.
Chief of Police Dolan and Captain of
Police Kane this morning called the at
tention of an Evening Journal man to
the numerous complaints made by Off
GERS regarding the negligence of the
Street and Sewer Department and the
Board of Health.
Every police officer is given COM
plant cards. which were gotten up
by Chief Dolan mainly for the officers
to make reports of any matter that
comes under the jurisdiction of the
Street and Sewer board the Board Of
Health and the Water Department,
such as breaks in pavements, broken
water mains and uncollected garbage.
When the reports are made out by an
officer he hands the report card to the
captain on duty, who records the same
in a book, which is afterwards sub
mitted to Chief Dolan. The chief in
turn reports to the boards the various
reports.
At least a dozen complaints are hand
ed in by officers every day, and but lit
tie attention Is given them by the diff
ferent bodies, especially the Board of
Health and the Street and Sewer De-
partment, according to the police. This
morning complaints were received from
Officer John Welch, saying that the
garbage at Nos. 1902 1904, 1906, 1908
and 1910 Walnut street has not been
collected for two weeks.
Sergeant Lucas, Officers Massey and
Eakins reported that the pavements at
No. 2 and No. 107 East Front street
need repairing; northeast corner of
Front and King streets, Front and Wal
nut streets, Second and Lombard
streets; Third and Lombard stretes; Sec
ond and Poplar strets, and No. 112
Poplar street and No. Ill East Front
street. Trees with dropping limbs are
reported on Washington street between
Second and Third, and Twenty-fifth
and Market streets. The limb of the
tree on Washington street hangs about
five feet from the ground and pedes-
trians who happen to pass that way at
night and being unacquainted with the
Dosition Of the limb, might walk into
ii with the result Of a cut face.

WHAT SHE READS.

She only reads the headlines DER

She shows no curiosity
About affairs with Spain;
She does not care what baseball nine

She skins the editorial page
With an Indifferent eye;

In haste she passes by;
And so she turns page after page
Till with delight she halls
And pins her fond attention to
