The action of the play and the comments
after its termination
We have had many popular priced at
fractions. but can candidly say that Tor
superiority in producing drama the
Howard Dorset Company is at the top.
The play last night brought out the
full strength of this excellent company,
each character stood out SO prominently
that 1t is difficult to make personal men
ton. However, THE Princess OF Patch
es'' was more than ably sustained by
Miss Flora Dorset. a conledienne OF
marked ability, of a very pleasing man
ner, captivating her audience by her
child-like simplicity. She was ably as-
sisted by Mr.. George b. Howard, who
essayed the role Of heroic tramp and
fully sustained the fact that he was a
comedian OF more than ordinary ability.
The supporting company Is ffrst-class
thruout. The specialtles introduced
were Of a very high order, and more
than pleased the large audience. This
company so far has kept Its promise
with the public. and our citizens should
not fail 10 give them the houses they
Justly deserve.
Tonight the drama is "The Winning
Hand, the company's own play. r. you
go you will not be disappointed.

ODELL WILL BE QUICK TO REMOVE MUIR
PLY IF HE is DERELICT.

Albany. Feb. % CspeciaD.-A good many OF
the Republican members of the legislature had
talks with Governor Odell late this afternoon
about the police administration of New-York
City esta ablished by Mayor Van Wyck, and
learned from him positively that he has no
thought at present of removing either Mayor
Van Wyck or Police Commissioner Murphy. nor
Of favoring an amendment of the police act
ousting Devery, nor of a State Police bill 1t is
the Governors opinion that the Police Commls-
sioner must commit some grave offence in ad-
ministerng the affairs of the Police Department
before there would be any justification for his
removal by the State Executive. Until that Of
fence is committed therefore no action, either
executive or legislative. will be taken
The Republican leaders in the legislature ad-
NIT that the police law would have been better
framed if the duty had been imposed upon
Mayor Van Wyck of appointing the deputies as
u ell as The Chief OF Police. In that case mayor
Van wyrk's responsibility for the appointment
of Devery First Deputy Police Commissioner
would have been clearly brought home TO MIN
when the appointment was MADE py Fohce

the Governor said to-day, Il sought to reform
the Police Department. improve it's admin
istration and place the responsibility on
one man of that administration / think
the administration of the Police Department.
and i shall not hesitate to remove the Police
Commissioner If he is unfaithful to his trust or
permits his subordinates to govern the Police
Department in a wrong way | am not taking q
partisan view of this matter"
In conclusion the Governor intimated that If
the police administration should prove to he
harmful and public opinion should demand as
aaremedy the adoption of law giving the state
control OF the police force of New-York, the
legislature would have to take such PROPOSE
tion into serious consideration. At present. how
ever the Governor is not in any way supporting
the State police bill idea. He considered that
idea carefully months ago, and decided
against it,
