YOU'RE LIABLE TO SUIT FOR DAMAGES II YOU
oBsTRUCr ANY ONES VIEW.
There was Joy In many manly breasts ana pos
sibly In few womany ones. when tho news was
read yesterday that the bill against tho wearing
of big hats In theatres had passed the Assembly
at Albany. Those who knew the exact nature OF
the bill were not at all sure that rs provisions
were the best that could be devised, but It was
felt that 1t would at least discourage the wearing
OF high hats and that It would be gain, at all
events. 1t makes tho OF obstructive
hat liable TO civil suit for damages on the part Of
the person who suffers from the hat II Is felt that
this is likely to prove cumbersome arrangement
It will be a good deal Of bother for man who
happens TO sit behind a big hat TO find out the
name OF the and then bring civil suit
The suggestion has been made that II would be
simpler 10 make the manager Of the theatre liable
to arrest and a small fine for allowing an objec-
tionable hat to be worn in his theatre. 1t is need
less say that the managers. who think that
they have troubles enough already. believe that
the bill is better II is The old suggestion was
made again yesterday that every seat In theatre
should be placed upon trap all the traps to be
controlled in the managers office, so that every
wearer Of a high hat could be dropped through
the floor till the top Of the hat came to where the
top of the head ought to be.

PUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF TALK TO YOUNG MEN
DECLARED TO BE "A GROSS PERvERsIoN."
"Cuss Words from the Pastor was the head
line under which THE New-York Sun" yesterday
published an alleged report Of talk which the
Rev. DR.. Rainsford had given to the Young Mems
Club Of st. Georges Parish on Monday evening.
The report represented him as saying. In part:
Municipal government has no more to do with
politics than my cook has to do with Mckinley.
If you had found competent man for bookkeeper
and you should say him. But are you DEM
ocrat or a Republican," he would answer you. II
ne was a sensible man: You go to the DEVIL"
and very properly too.
I am absolutely confident that IT doesn't matter
a continental cuss what political party my cook
belongs to. / am just confident that IT doesn't
matter what party the municipal officers belong to.
Let the Republican party go to Ballyhack! Let
the Democratic party 60 just as far! -
Warning doesn't care cuss for mans politics.
The reason rents are high in this city Is because
taxes high, and taxes are high because fran
chses have been given away. won't say that the
men who gave them away were dlshonest. Dut
where they were honest they were blankety-blank
stupid.
I got off the Committee Of Organization Of the
Citizens Union because they didn't want clergy
men on II. I'm sure I don't know why.
