one, will be 10 consider the nliterate and

Republican HInshes.

1t is so long since We have noticed
any embarrassment on the part Of the
House Republicans when the shorteom-
ings of their party or Administration
have been held up to them that the eyi-
dent shame under which they suffered
yesterday when Mr. Richardson made
few remarks on the Standard Oil bank
scandal comes as a relief to mOnotOny.
The feelings Of a political organization
well used 10 The blind obedience exacted
by Mr. Hanna and the trusts cannot be
very fine or sensitive: but, such as they
are, they were touched under the fifth rib
by the demonstration TO which the able
Tennessee member treated the House Of
Representatives on the. occasion men-
toned. He went over the facts as they
have often appeared in these columns, and
added a close calculation of the cot in

of the Custom House purchase price left

an average balance of fifteen million dol

eminent Tour per cent on the puI-
chase price for rent. and credIting the
Standard Oil bank with four per cent in

other Government deposits the Roekefel-

The Academy-Thomaz E. Shea.

Russian Nihilism, Russian student days.
and yeneration Of a mother. are all in
Guided in the highly entertaining malo-
drama. The Voice of Nature which will
be presented by Mr. Thomas E Shea and
his company at the Academy next week
There are several scenes in The Voice of
Nature, which are. according to the press
agent, thrilling. The duel in the last act,
which is finished by the hero pitching the
villain headlong through a window, and
the plucking out OF the fuse of a bomb
just in time to save the Imperial Opera
House at St. Petersburg from destruction
are particularly sensational features of
the piece. The first act which takes place
in typical student room, is perhaps one
of the most novel incidents that has been
seen in a meIodrama in some time The
other plays OF the week will be: Tuesday
and Friday nights, "Dr. Jehyi and Mr.
Hyde" Saturday matinees and night Spe-
ciai performances viii be given Of the
