THEATRICAL AND OTHERWISE.

News and Comment of Stage Matters and
Mr.. Creston Clarke, d gifted young
actor who made such a favorable i'm
preston here some time ago IN the beau
tiful romantic Russian drama 1.-The
Last of His Race" will present that
same excellent play at the Grand to-
morrow night. Miss Adelaide Prince.
leading lady of great beauty and talent,
is Mr.. Clarke's leading support. and
shares the honors with him. "The Last
of His Race" is the strongest of Mr..
Clarke'ssrepertoire of four plays and
gives him good opportunities to display
his talents. There has been a good ad-
vance sale for this engagement which
will be one of the best of the season at
the Grand. Reserved seats are on sale
at Borland's.
THE NEWS heartily approves of the
rainy day skirts which are worn by
number of Paris ladies. The skirts are
sensible. convenient, heaithful and
modest. They should be preferred in
rainy weather to the long skirt which
has to be held up continually or it gets
soaking wet with mud and water and it
is dangerous to the health of the wearer.
1t should be preferred in fair weather,
also, to the trailing skirts which sweep
pavements, gathering disease germs,
spittle, etc. The length of the skirt,
of course, should suit the taste of the
wearer.
Speaking of rainy day skirts recalls
a comment heard on the corner of Fourth
and Main last Thursday: "Winker-
Look at Miss Blank in her rainy day
skirt. Blinker-Great Scott, she must
be expecting flood"

SCHIEREN FAVORS THE CANALS.
THE Ex-MAYoR OF BROOKLYN SAYS THD STATE
MUST ACT PROMPTLY TO COMPETE
WITH

WITH CANADA.
Ex-Mayor Charles A Scheren. chairman OF the
State Commission which is investigating CONNER
cial conditions in this port and who has just re-
turned from visit to the western provinces of the
Dominion of Canada. in which he and the other
members of the Commission made a careful inves-
tigation OF the Canadian canal system differs
from the opinions expressed by exMayor Abram s.
Hewitt in his public letter on the Erie Canal stu
alton.
Mr. schieren said yesterday that the New-York
Commission had visited the canals and harbors OF
Montreal and Quebec He found that Canada has
a modern and splendidly constructed canal system
and thereby has become an important competitor
and factor in freight rates.
LAS a result" added Mr.. Schieren, she Is con-
etantly attracting trade from our Western States
TO her seaports. Canada has expended a vast
amount of money canals. and unless the State
OF New-York bestirs itself Canada will soon be in
Already large shipments which used TO come to
New-York have been diverted Canadian ports -
In reference to ex-Mayor Hewitt's opinion on
the canal problem, the eX-Mayor of Brooklyn said;
"Our Commission probably will treat OF his OBJ
jectons in its forthcoming report. | was amused
the ultimate use OF the Erie Canal as a railroad
bed. When Dean Richmond president OF the
New-York Central Railroad he said that he would
make the canal ditch as dry country road but
the Erie Canal has outlived him many years. and
is still wet"
Mr.. schieren believes that the reduction on rail-
roads for the transportation OF freight to three
mills ton for mile has brought transportation
down TO a science. and Is an achievement of which
railroad should be proud.

man began at II o'clock yesterday before Coroner
Fitzpatrick and Jury in the Criminal Court
Building. The courtroom we'll filled with many
Of the friends and neighbors Of the Kronmans
Kronman, when taken into court was self COM
posed, but looked worn and anxious He talked
earnestly with his lawyer There were only eleven
Jurors, but the case called. Mr.. Osborne asked
for adjournment. Mr. Levy protested.
The police have had ample time TO investigate
the case" he said. The application for an ad-
journment is abundant proof of the weakness Of
the prosecutions side of the case"
The Coroner said that he inclined TO favor
the views OF the District Attorney, because in his
estimation the police had not had time to in
vestigate the crime. The Coroner granted the mo-
ton OF the District Attorney setting the inquest
down for Tuesday August o. II o'clock. He
fixed bail at $4,000.
Mr. Lew In his application for bail said that
Kronman as anxious find the perpetrator
OF the deed as the police were and that. II 1t was
allowed. he most anxious to work with the
police. I'VE want to give every help and facility
can to the police" he said In announcing his
decision Coroner Fitzpatrick said:
I'm any where death occurs under such
circums these 1t is customary for the
police to the person found nearest the body
OF the victim. Therefore the prisoner was taken
into custody But the police have hardly had time
time there is a single fact-not a fact-to dem
onstrate the guilt Of this man. He Is held merely
suspicion and | think 1t unjust and unfair to
hold a man without fact pointing TO guilt,
especially when he has business that may be
going 10 pieces while he is locked up. I Ak bail.
therefore, at $1,000"
Kronman was admitted to bail at 2:4S o'clock.
Two OF his friends went his bond. Peter White.

slxth-st., gave security the property at No HS
West Thirty-sixth-st, valued at 5000
Coroner Fitzpatrick signed the bond and told
Kronman that 1t was all right Kronman smiled.
He shook hands with Inspector Thompson, and he
seemed to be in good humor. He walked out with
Detectives Coughlin and Michaels.
The party went to the West Side Court, where
Magistrate Meade was assured that the ball bond
had been duly secured. Inspector Thompson told
Kronman that he had told Acting Captain Cooney,
OF the West Thirty-sevent.4-st station, to deliver
10 kronman all the property that had been taken
