STAGE AFFAIRS.

Mr. Jones's well remembered play, THE Case
Of Rebellious Susan" is current at the Murray Hill
Theatre. This piece first acted in New-York
on December o. 1894 II written for the pur-
pose Of declaring that the incontinence Of a hus-
band justhes the retaliatory infidelity of a wife;
and It is extremely silly and vulgar play. One
wrong does not justify another for evil is always
evil. Furthermore. good woman makes beast
Of herself because she has been badly treated. It
should also be said that persons who reason of
matrimonial indelity in the loose way that it has
pleased Mr. Jones to adopt in this instance ap-
pear to leave out of the question all thought of
children But this is theme that ought to
be obtruded the stage, and the recurrence of
Mr.. Jones's 'RebeIlious Susan is only be noted
of the unwelcome incidents of the season.
Mr.. Donnelly makes his productions in careful
and conscientious manner, and the present is not
exception to his custom.
Nell Gwyn one OF Clara Fishers characters,
and it also included in the repertory of Mrs.
Keeey. Clara Fisher acted it here, at the old
Park, in 1885, and Mrs. Kelley acted It, the same
theatre, in lSS6-her husband playing Orange Moll.
Miss Crosman and Miss Rehan have good
precedents. therefore, in assuming this part Miss
Rehan's tour will begin toward the end of Novem-
ber, in Western New-York, and she will act In
Chicago before coming to this city. Miss Cros-
mans performance of Nell Gwyn. the Bijou
Theatre, has pleased by its dash, its animal spirits
and its Irish brogue.

IRISH CONVICTS
Coming to This Country May Cause
Trouble.

New York. May 24.-Discussing the
obstacles likely to confront the two lib
Grated Irish convicts, Fitzharris and
Mullett, in their effort to secure admis-
sion to the United States in contra
vention of the immigration laws, Com
missioner POwderly said last night:
Notice will. of course, be taken by
the immigration bureau in New York
city of the arrival of FitZharriS and
Mullet, booked as passengers on the
steamship Lucania. Their right to en-
ter an American port under the provi-
sions of the law which excludes all per-
sons who have been convicted of a fell
ony or other Infamous crime or mis-
demeanor involving moral turpitude,
but which leaves it to the adminis-
traitors of the law to decide whether
the crime committed was or was not
a political OffenSe, will be passed upon
at the outset by a board of four local
officials If entry is denied, the two
immigrants may take an appeal to
Washington, and I, as commissioner of
immigration, will have to review their
decision. Should dissatisfaction arise
over my decision, a further appeal is
allowed to the secretary of the treas
ury. AS I may be called upon to act
as a reviewing officer in the case, it
would be obviously improper for me
to express an opinion as to the political
or non-political character of the crime
for which the two intending immi-
grants suffered Imprisonment"

CIVIL SERVICE FARCE.
Work in Chicago Police Department
Promotions Simply Awful.

Chicago. May 24.-In an opinion rem
dered by Judge TuIey today in
the civil service police cases the farce
enacted by the Chicago civil service
commission in regard to promotion in
the classified service is laid pare. Ac-
cording to the decision not only the re-
cent certificate of an assistant chief of
police and three inspectors is Illegal, but
every appointment in the police depart
ment above the rank of patrolman is
held to be irregular.
Moreover, if the opinion of the court
is sustained, not one of the men in po
sitions in the graded service of the en-
tire city is held in accordance with the
provisions of the civil service law. The
courts rulings knock the ground from
under Mayor Harrison's merit boarof
Not only the commission, but the ad-
ministration, and indirectly the people
themselves, are held accountable by the
court for continued and palpable viola
ton of the law which was enacted to do
away with the spoilS system. POlitici-
ans and others are flayed right and left
by the court for their attempts, gener-
ally successful, to sidetrack the spirit
and the letter of the law. The statute,
says Judge Tuley, had a hard time at its
birth and has had a struggle for exist
| ence ever since.
That officials, put in Office tempor-
| arily to fill vacancies in the civil list
have held their places for two years is
