When the announcement was made
that THE Choir Invisible" had been
dramatized, the Rialto in this city i'm.
medlately divided itself into two fac.
tions, one Of which at once asserted
that the piece was destined 10 create
a verltable sensation and eclipse the
success achieved by "The Christian
BY these people II was contended that
the book was really a much greater
work than THE Christian" and that
inasmuch as the latter was dramatjzed
by the author himself "The Choir In
visible would at least have an equal
chance in that respect because Of the
ineNperience Of Mr.. Caine as a play.

The other faction contended with
equal emphasis that while "The Chris

cial reference TO subsequent use for
stage purposes "The Choir Invisible"
had manifestly been put together with.
out any such object In view and that
II was too lacking in dramatic incidents
TO make II possible as a vlrie play. For
these reasons and for the further reason
that the play was TO introduce Henry
Jewett as a star the tour OF The Choir
Invisible" attracted much attention
along the Rlalto. The experiment was
made In due time, and II demonstrated
that both factions were wrong so FAR
as the surface results are concerned.
The tour was abandoned, Il Is true, but
II Is far from being a fact that the play

lated statement to the effect that the
abandonment OF the tour was brought
about by the refusal OF Mr.. Jewo,t 10

liver since the passage Of the so
called Horton law, which allows
IL boxing bouts OF limited number
OF rounds to take place In regularly H.
censed clubs, the short haired fraternity
has had things pretty much its own
way in New York state. The law, when
framed. was intended to allow only sell
entihc contests for points and TO do
away with the brutality OF the ring.
Had the men who run the clubs
been alive to their own interests they
would have kept within these bounds
and boxing would not only have -four
ished in the Empire State, but other
legislatures would probably have come
around TO the view that II is possible to
regulate boxing by law so that only
the science and none OF the bad fea-
lures OF the sport shall be evident.
The recent JeffrIes-S harkey encounter
and others like II have shown, however
chat the hoped for result has not been
attained. and now, owing to the short
sightedness OF the men In control, II Is
very likely that the Horton law Will be
repealed at the next meeting Of the
state legislature, or. II not repealed.

"REDENPTION" MONEY.

Our friends, the opposition to
the silver cause, pooh pooh the idea
as ridiculous that the government
can issue paper money or coin
silver at the 16 to 1 ratio and that
it will be worth the amount stamped
an its face. But they fall right in
line when a scheme is sprung by a
band OF pirates to take the rights
of government in their own hands
aHd issue the money Of the country
this is the object Of the Infamous
McCleary bill, which will be sprung
as soon as the present Congress IS
over. Again, the idea that there
must be money of final redsmp-
ton, is the most driviling rot that
ever emanated from the scheming
brain of the enemy Of all mankind.
When Jones works for Smith and
receives his pay or Saturday night,
Smith has redeemed that money,
and when Jones pays his house
rent and the grocer. butcher and
baker, he has also redeemed the
money-aRy substance used as
money has served well It's purpose,
just as good as gold could have
done. II the theory Of the gold
advoc ties Was to hold good there
would scarcely be home paid FOR
in all the land, and every laborer
would have due him 90 per ceRt Of
all tho wages he ever earned all
business would be merely a mock
cry, because for every million dol e.
lars that changes hands in the
daily business transactions, less
than two per cent OF b. is gold. The
gold advocates probably got this

Mr.. Strong said: "Well, 1 have

delightful"
Thereupon q gentleman, who
stood near, but who had not been
observed, said: II, too, have been
out in the cold nearly three years,
and | find it delightful" Mr..
Strong looked quizzically at him
for an instant. not recognizing
