MRS. HOPPER'S ENGAGEMENT.
WHEN THE NEWS OF 1T WAS
BROKEN TO HER,

Mrs. Edna Wallace Hopper. formerly the wife
of De Wolf Hopper. is engaged TO be married to
John Fl. Gallatin. II is presumed that the engage
ment took place early Thursday evening. but
Mrs Hopper herself did not know anything about
1t till some time in the course of the second act
Of ''F1orodora' in which she is now appearing at
the Casino. At any rate, she was asked about it
just as the second act beginning. and she
knew nothing about it then, but after the play was
she knew all about 1t.
Reporters of several newspapers heard of Mrs.
Hopper's engagement on Thursday evening and ar
rived the Casino TO inquire about it simuta-
neously. II was said that Mr.. Gallatin himself
had made the announcement II don't know any
thing about tt said the manager. land don't
believe she is engaged to him
NO such luck" said the press agent; II wish she
engaged; it would make good story. Didn't
l work up that story about her buying up the
matinee as go the Brooklyn Handicap all
right? And I'd be just glad get this into the
papers. but she isn't engaged. Oh. I'm not kicking:
we've done pretty well getting advertising out Of
her lately and we can't expect much more just
yet"
The manager acceded to a general request that
he go back and ask Mrs. Hopper about IT, While
he was gone the press agent sat on desk. kicked
his heels against the panels. and received con-
gratuIations the mastery manner in which he
had got columns printed tie Brooklyn Handi-
cap story The manager came back and reported:
She says there isn't a word oftruth in it
What did tell you?' said the press agent. with
the air OF a with forlorn hope blighted-
And yet the performance was no sooner over
than one reporter met Mr. Gallattn and Mrs Hop
per together and asked them il they were engaged,
and they said that they were. That was what his
paper said Mr. Gallatin must nave met her Just
before the reporter did. and then he must have
told her Of the engagement. And IL was mean
way 10 treat press agent who has his living 10
make Just as much actress.
Extra a. MFRS Hopper yesterday afternoon
refused either confirm to deny the report that
she was engaged IL Mr. Galatn. Last evening Shd
said that she thought that the news of her engage
ment common property that everybody knew
that she engaged. but that no date had been
set for the marriage. The press agent is doing
well, but the crisis is not yet past.

MUSIC.
A MEXICAN PIANIST.

Senor Pedro Luiz Ogazon. young native of the
City of Mexico. where he has pursued all his
musical studies thus far, pianofOrte recital
in Clavier Hall last night Senior Ogazon is a
somewhat late arrival. and his recital doubt
less given for the purpose of securing what COM
mercal people might call professional rating.
He has been in New-York for time and has
been kindly received in private circles. where he
seems to have made altogether amiable impress
sion On scarcely any other ground was the at
tendance on his recital explicable. Lovers of high
class pianoforte music were exhausted by the
seasons too generous offerings long ago. and only
the desire to pay personal tribute could have
drawn out the handsome company that listened to
the newcomer last night.
In Senor Ogaz6n it is easy to recognize talented
young man who has in him the making of an
artist. He has facile fingers but they are not yet
completely disciplined developed He has
neat taste, yet unaffected either for good or III
by ina gination He has command of a tone whlch
can be put to good when he gets past the
pretty shell of music the exploitation or
which seems to suffice him. He has an un-
affected and engaging demeanor which. ii is TO De

will give the right direction to his ambition

COLONEL MURPHY AND AIR. PADDOCK.

Police Commissioner Murphy apparently
would like to have it appear that citizen pos
sessing evidence OF violations OF the law per
mitted by the police would naturally present
such evidence TO the police authorities; and 10
this rather violent assumption he would evil
IDENTITY like TO join another. TO the effect that
failure 10 present II Is prima facie evidence
that II does not exist. This We take it, was
the purpose of the commissioner in sending an
inspector with stenOgrapher to demand of the
Rev. Mr.. Paddock the basis of the charges
which he made in an address. The commits
sioner is likely to have good deal of trouble
in establishing these views. He has only to
examine his own record since he was placed
nOminay at the head of the police TO under
stand why it would hardly occur to any citizen
seeking to bring about betterment of condi-
tions 10 apply TO Colonel Murphy.
But. whatever the motive which occasioned
the interview, some exceedingly interesting
points were brought out, which likely to
prove valuable One point is that, given sufii-
cient reason for doing II. the police can place a
man in charge of a precinct who can not only
clean IT, but keep it clean. Before the
events which led up to Bishop Potter's men,
orable letter 10 the Mayor, the district in the
vicinity of the Pro-Cathedral was one of the
openly displayed and the police sat by in AFRO
CANT indifference. When Mr.. Paddock made a
complaint the police treated him to insult be-
cause they did not know what manner of man
he was, and did not know that II needed only
the echo Of their insolence to arouse the al
ready awakening city. If they had known
these things they would have treated him diff
ferently. However the city was aroused and
the Red Light district purified. The in
teresting point brought out by this latest inter
view is that the district has been kept clean
ever since The ''impossibility of getting evi-
dence' has not proved insurmountab'~ ERE
All of which indicates that even Tamman .an
learn n lesson, if it is administered smartly
enough.
p The testimony about the adjoining district is
not, of course, surprising. Under Tammany
methods it is to be expected that cleaning up
in one vicinity means the same open shame in
some other quarter, but the public will not be
deceived into thinking this inevitable. 1t is
true that vice cannot be wholly suppressed but
II can be kept off the streets, out of the tene-
ment houses, and obliged to maintain at least n
semblance of order. 1t need not be permitted
anywhere to faunt itself in the faces of LITTLE
children, or 10 advertise itself by means of pub
lie signs and signals. The police for reasons of
their own, have demonstrated that one district
can be cleaned and kept clean police force
freed from the tuteage of Tammany Hall could
accomplish like result throughout the CITY,

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY TO cUB4.


Our Washington dispatches this morning
announce that the President has taken the pre-
else view Of the Cuban situation which The
Tribune Of Thursday last edtoriaIly expressed
and assumed he would take as soon as the
action Of the Cuban Constitutional Convention
was known, and which our special Washington
dispatches of day later indicated would GER
tainly be taken at the meeting of the Cabinet
yesterday. Briefly stated. the action of the
Cubans on Monday in padding the Platt amend
ment-an act of the United States Congress

the administration as unsatisfactory and unac-
ceptable, and the Cubans are 10 be Informed in
Gnmistakable terms that nothing will be re-
earded as satisfactory short of the acceptance
OF the Platt amendment, in spirit and In letter

the Washington government must command the

thoughtful view of the case. II will we conf

A SAGE.

Bishop William B. Derrick. of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church. is a sage and Il
philosopher. He has just been presiding over
a church conference in Brooklyn. He rules his
flock with patriarchal authority which some
other religious organizations might think des
potic, but with good sense which some others
would greatly profit by. Anybody who has be-
come accustomed to the too common habit of
church committees and conventions of launch
ing anathemas against persons who believe that
an army canteen is a good thing rather than a
bad thing. who argue that an exposition
ground is better open than closed on Sunday, or
who take different view from them the
moral questions involved in any public policy,
will rejoice at the measure of the saving grace
of humor and common sense which Bishop
Derrick brings 10 the rescue of n race whose
wrongs might not unnaturally move them to
loud protests and denunciatiOns whenever occa-
sion offered.
The conference has a committee on the state
of the country. 1t looked over tho country and
saw many things amiss including the condition
of the negroes in South Carolina but Bishop
Derrick said: Let Tillman alone. He's too
''bad to be noticed and all you might say would
"only recoil on yourselves That all we'll
enough for the bishop, but the committee had

jected, and asked if he wanted blank piece of
paper for a report, and the bishop answered:
Yes. A blank piece of paper is a good deal
'better than n lot of inflammatOry rubbish. Just

Estates is at peace with all the world That

ference proceedings of all kinds. The amount

forth for the affictlon OF mankind by all sorts
of people who feel that they must stir up some
thing is beyond computation. If we only had
few more benevolently despotic Bishop Der
ricks 10 attend conventions and curb the
fanatics. busybodies and bores. How delightful
it would be If half the misplaced zeal for "view

Interchangeable could be quieted, not with leave
to print, but with hint that a blank piece of
paper would be an excellent report.

THEY WAIT TOO LONG.


The delays in the completion of the buildings
Of the new City Prison have been characteristic
of Tammany methods. 1t is certain that with
proper attention TO duty and reasonable full
ilment of the conditions which had been
mapped out the donjon keeps in Centre-st.
would have been ready for use at the begin
ming of last winter. Tammany architects. con-
tractors and officials as a rule think Of little else
than the filling of their own pockets. and make
scant haste in meeting the obligations which
they undertake. The original designers of the
sombre building which Is TO supplant the old
Tombs We're treated with something like con-
tumely by the present wielders of municipal
power. No blame attaches to the architects
who prepared the first plans for the new prison.
They were set aside curtly by the rude bearers
of authority in the City Hail. and Fourteenth
Street pets were called in to take charge.
These Wigwam favorites have muddled the
Job until no one can tell how it Will come out
heats are near at hand, and the City Prison is
badly overcrowded. Its cells contain many
prisoners whose guilt has not been proved. men
and women awaiting trial. some of whom may
be innocent. 1t is certain that a considerable
percentage of them will never be convicted.
This is a rich city, and it ought to have suffi-
cient pride and self-respect 10 insist upon decent
treatment of accused persons who have not
been proved 10 be guilty.
Every man and woman in the Tombs should
baFe speedy trial. The laws delays are in
defensible, and 1he City Prison of New-York in
ifs present condition is a disgrace TO the me-
tropolis.
