STRICTLY LEGAL DANCING.
A REMARKABLY PURITANlCAL OPENING
OF TIE FORTY SECOND ST.
MOULIN ROUGE

The performance at the hall OF the Moulin Rouge
Amusement Company. In West Forty-secord-st.. ..
last night was so dc )rous that nobody would have
known that Tam rany was in power. II was all a
question OF licenses and the determination of the
manager rot to do anything that could possibly be
construed illegal. And the troubl, was that no.
body quite knew what legal and wha- was not.
The hall is the north side OF ForysecOnd-st and
hence not in the Tenderloin Precinct, but the line
OF domarcation is not hard to step across. and n
programme laid out which calculated 10 be
so much like Paris that it would make the merry
people Of that merry precinct feel homcsick. The
whole affair called bal champetre," and
there were to be pas de Quatre." bal des etu-
dents Francais," dams acrobatique" and other
things in French.
But in the afternoon Captain Titus down
from the Forty-seventh-st station TO see re-
hearsal. and when he saw the professional dancers
who had been hired and the costumes that they
were going TO wear, he said: "Oh. you can't do
that, YOU know
Mr. Doris the manager, wanted TO know why.
Then the captain and the manager and everybody
else around began to puzzle their heads over the
question Of licenses. Nobody was quite clear
about it, but this IS something like the result Of the
puzzing: You have n liquor license-good; II you
have theatrical license YOU can have costume
dancing-good: but you can't sell liquors. Now, II
you have concert license you can sil liquors
good: but you can't have any chtertalLiheit, e.
cept vocal and instrumental! music ana Tecitations
Very well. thcn-no good
Mr Doris said in the evening that he wasn't at
All sure that this reasoning WAS quite straight; IN
fact he didn't believe that it was. BUY ne didn I
understand the thing, and he was not gong 10
violate any law. and he wa? not going TO take any
cb"ncos Of doine, So To-day he should get some
better legal opinions and Try to find ou, what he
had right to DO. In the mean time there woull
be no costume dancing.
The result WIS that through last evening the
hand played and some people danced, Dut they
wore inst the dresses that they came In. ana lhe
sDectators said that. whatever might be hoped Tor
in the future at the present II was no more IKE
Paris than IL like Newark.

TO MEET BEHIND CLOSED DOORS UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE-THE NETWORK
CHURCH MATTER DISPOSED OF.
Tho New-York Presbytery held its stated meet
ing for January yesterday afternoon. in the chapel
OF the First Church, Eleventh-st. and fifth-ave
The Rev DR.. J. BalcOm Shaws resolution 10 nave
tho sessions of the Presbytery behind closed doors
which was introduced az the last meeting, then
came up. The Presbytcry went into secret session
TO consider this resolution.
The meeting was held behind closed doors until
tho adjournment and the reporters were then In
formed that no Information would be given out
except by the stated clerk. the Rev. DR.. George
W F. Birch Dr. Birch said that he had been In
structed not to give the details of discussions
but only results. 1t was not Dr. Shaw's resolution
that had been passed he said. The Presbytery
had merely approved a recommendation made by
the Modorators Council that the meetings should
be held behind closed doors until further notice
Various members OF the Presbytery said that their
action taken not 80 much because or any
errors in the published accounts Of recent meet
ings but rather because Of the sensational head
lines IN certain papers.
Two Of the matters which have caused heated
discussions in the Prcsbytery lately finally
disposed OF at the secret meeting yesterday. One
was the trouble in the New-York Presbyterian
Church. Elder William Fack. representing the
church. said that the congregation concurred In
the request OF the Rev Dr. Charles s Robinson
that the pastoral relations between him and the
church be dissolved. The Presbytcry ordered that
such relation be dissolved. and delegated to the
Rev; Dr. u. J. Mcmillan the authority to preach
at the church. and to declare the pulpit vacant at
ton complimentary to Dr Robinson.
Elder Henry w. Jessup was permitted TO with
draw the resolution which he had introduced ut
the December meeting regarding the Rev. DR.. j.
g. Patterson, who the counsel for Herman
Warszawiak The resolution would In effect have
required DR.. Patterson TO disavow published
staiement from him. else to withdraw from the
Prcsbytcry. This matter which had evoked
very animated discussion. Tho action taken yes
tcrday apparently closes the Incident.
Still another matter was smoOthed over when
the Warszawlak disposed OF. the Rev
Or. J. Ford Sutton strongly objecting to the Mod
orators rulings. and committee was appointed
20 consider a formal protest made by aim. This
committee reported yesterday. and the report. after
a certain part had been stricken out adopted
The Moderator's course was upheld by the report.
The Rev. Or. Francis p Mulally. who
known be opposed 10 the policy OF secret
sons asked after the meeting to whether
he had spoken against 1t. II saw that il
useless to oppose IT," ne said $50 did nothing
But this | will say: What is needed here is not
closed doors. but more prayer and religion that
the hinges will move without unseemly squeaking."
