Rapid Transit.
3 NEW YORK, Jan. a6 Special. Mrs.
Langtry appeared at the Garden Theatre
last night in Sydney Grundy.s play, The 4
sDegenerates. The audience was as great
as that Which greeted her when she origi-#
nally appeared IN this city, and the ac-
Z ress had a most cordial reception. The
critics say that she has lost no detail z
Of her beauty. and that as an actress she
has much improved. Mr. Grundy gave I
her a difficult part to interpret. The
story OF the play,in brief is as follows:
Mrs. Trevelyan is both wicked and good
by impulse, she is an uEtrammeied d.
vOrcee, gets into q fast set in Lon
don society; the turf, the gaming able.
intriSues With men attracted by her beau-.
! ty, are diversions that are taken in the
swing CT LIES gallon, WitE little thought
{ Of tomorrow. She has packed OF TO
school q daughter whose lenStheninS
Efrochs are a reminder that her own
youth is .tleeting, and she has an amour
With o married man, the result of which 4
/ is to drive the injured and jealous VIE
over the edge os the moral precIplce ID
which she has foolishly gone in pique.
In the midst Of the reckless career that
Mrs. Trevelyan is living the daughter
come home-a homecoming that the
mother breads and detests. The girl is
ignorant OF the true conditions, unaware
of what is in her mothers heart and
mind, of her life and moral lapses.B But
she comes home, heart hungry for ma
sternal love. She cIinSs close TO her moth
er, creeps unconsciousiy into her heart,
rouses feelings that existed, but We're DOR
l,,ant. and through soodnes andEioye con-
qucrs the evil i'll the woman, and saves
her.
1t was a difficult part to play, but Mrs.
Longtry was equal to it, and the audience
did mot seem to be very much shocked. I:
RAPID TRANSIT.
New York seems to be in sight of
rapid transit at last. Two bids have been
submitted to construct the underground
railway, one by Andrew Onderdonk and
the other by John 3. Mcdonald, a Tam-
many contractor. The Onderdonk bid IS
as follows:
TO build and equip the railroad ft'c
500 Cox, Opc, and to pay an annual rental
equal to interest or bonds issued by the
city, and one per cent. additional, amount
ing approximately to Sl,7lS,5Gl, and an adj
ditional sum of 5 per cent. When the gross
receipts reach $6,G00,0o0 and 2la per cent
more on each additional million until 10
per cent. of the gross receipts IS reached.
And here is the Tammany man S. bid:
To build and equip the railroad for
So, coo coo, and to pay an annual rental
equal to interest on bonds issued by the
city, and l per cent additional amount
ing Approximately to 81, 515, Coo. He de-
clares that he can begin work down town
and in Harlem within thirty days after
the contract is awarded, and have the
enterprise completed i'll the next three
years.
There is an epidemic Of pink eye" i'll
Harlem, aid the diseasesis spreading all
over the city.!e Children are. particularly
liable to it. The eye Of one affected be-
gins to itch and feels as if u grain of
sand or a cinder We're in il. The sufferer
rubs the eye and usually rubs the other
eye, thus communicating the disease.
Any one who has the disease may be-
come blind if he neglects it. 1t will quick
ly spread through a family ii all the
members use the same towels to dry
themselves.
