THE SENSATIONAL THEATER.

The two great plaques which threaten
American society to-day are the sensa-
tional press and the sensational thea
ter, These institutions are conducted
upon the same principle, or lack of prin-
ciple, and upon the same general lines.
The theory upon which they act is that
the great bulk of the public, the mass
from which they draw the greater part
of their revenue, Is not only incapable
of approaching what is intellectual, in
structive, wholesome or inspiring in the
printed page or in the drama, bue is adj
dicted naturally to what is morbid alb
normal, audacious, startling or unclean,
and will pay handsomely for the graft
fication of a depraved appetite. In 9TH
er words, the scheme is to make money
by pandering to vice, at the cost of the
wholesale decentralization Of the youth
who are to be the backbone of the
American nation of the future.
The policy is not only diabolical, but
fatuous. That it has proved Temporal
rily successful cannot be disputed.
Journals which outrage truth. common
sense and decency still circulate by the
million and fortunes have been made
by the villainous exploitation of wholly
worthless and abominable plays. But
evils of this kind. in the long run work
their own remedy. There is not per-
haps, any heason for expecting sud-
den or speedy revival of public morali-
ty, but, sooner or later, dishes reel<ing of
one particular spice pail upon the pal
ate and in most cases satiation is fol-
lowed by disgust. The sensational
newspaper, which is permitted to pub
lish the most revolving details of the
police courts, can avail itself of q wider
variety of horror and impurity than the
theater, which, luckily, cannot, for OBJ
Vious reasons, exceed certain limits. and
is thus condemned to a damnable 'itera-
ton which must, in time become tire
some. These limits have been reached,
or, at all events, very nearly reached,
and already there are indications that
mere vulgarity, which is no longer a
novelty, is losing its power to attract
the crowd. In ninety-nine cases out OF

in resuming the several matches on account

sTARFIsH AND OYSTER.

| The oyster when at home lives IN
hard lime shell which nicely protects
him from the attack of enemies. Man,
with his tools, can open the shell and
remove the soft animal, but besides man
! the oyster has few foes. oddly enough,
his greatest foe is not as might be ex-
| pected, an animal with powerful jaws.
! 1t is the common starfish, so common
! everywhere at the seashore.
| Now the starfish is a soft, flexible
creature, very sluggish, seemingly help
less, and utterly unable to attack such
an animal as the oyster. Its mouth,
| which Is in the center of the disk, has
no teeth or jaws. How can such help
less creature open the formidable oyster
shell and get at the animal concealed
within?
It's method of doing so is odd enough
1t first clasps the oyster in its arms
wrapping its five arms around the shell
tightly. Having thus seized the oyster,
it quietly waits. Just exactly what
happens next even our scientists do not
exactly know. The two shells of the
oyster are held together by hinge
which is opened by a spring The
spring is so adjusted that the shells will
be pushed open unless they are held to-
gether by the muscles. Some scientists
tell us that, after the starfsh has held
the oyster for while, the oyster opens
Its shell in order to get food, and the
startlsh that has been waiting for this,
now injects into the shell little reddish
liquid. This acts as a poison, paraly-
zing the muscles and thus making it i'm
possible for the animal to close it's shell.
Others tell us that the process is SIM
pier, and that the starfsh simply holds
the shell tightly together until the oys-
ter is smothered. AS soon as it Is stu
pefied by the suffocation, the muscles
relax and the shell opens.
Which ever of these two accounts is
true, 1t is certain that after a little the
oyster-shells fly open. Now comes the
oldest feature Of all. The stomach of
the starfsh is very large and elastic,
and 1t is now thrown out of the animals
mouth much as one would turn a bag
inside out This stomach Is then thrust
within the oyster-shell, and wrapped
around the soft animal, beginning at
once to digest it. The starfsh does not
take the trouble even to remove the
oyster from its shell, dgesting 1t In it's
own home, and eventually crawling
away, leaving behind the gaping emp
ty shell.-St. Nicholas.

hundred, the motive that fills the
benches at VIGOROUSLY coarse play Is
curiosity, and when this has once been
satisfied, or disappointed. as it is apt to
be, it ceases to exist and cannot easily
be revived For this reason, an epidem-
ic of stage indecency, such as that with
which we have recently been afflicted, is
seldom of long duration. Moreover, the
theaters responsible for it will not read
lily rid themselves of the contamination.
When they revert to the cleaner drama,
they will find that they have fallen low

FIREWORKS ON THE GREEN.
The Most Successful Display in Many
Years.

The thousands OF New Haveners who
to see the fireworks saw the best dis
play that has been given In New Haven
in years and the committee in charge of
that feature OF the celebration deserves
much credit for securing such a sue
cess. The entire lower portion of the
green between Temple and Church
streets was packed with people while
the surrounding streets and sidewalks
were also crowded AT least 10000 peo-
pie witnessed the displayed There
were none Of the long waits which made
the fireworks of last year so tedious
and the programme was well arranged
to keep something going all the time.
Every piece worked successfully.
Among the especially admired pieces
was one representing the city hall. This
piece was about twenty-five feet high
and was done In various colors making
it an indescrbably brilliant scene, re-
sembling very closely the municipal
building.
In the intervals between the set pieces
large bombs were sent up and bursting
let forth beautiful streams of colored
fire novelties. The last piece was
var-colored one bearing the words good
night. Thousands of men and boys in
the crowd had revolvers and "a large
supply of blank cartridges and while
the last piece was burning they fired
volleys which sounded like the rattle of
musketry on the battle line.

said:
There is but one idea relative to this
