The Broadway Theatre,

the Drury Lane spectacle, & The Sleep
ing Beauty and the Beast, still con-
Times to grow in popularity at the
Broadway Theatre. Although one
can gain some idea of the magnitude
of this spectacle in witnessing per-
Torrance, it is impossible to grasp
the greatness of the enterprise from
this alone The salaries of the per-
formers ex eed So, week. The
combined expenses are over So, 900 a
week. The production cost $120, 000
when originally produced at he
Drury Lane Theatre. The expenses Of
bringing it to America intact and
mounting it on the Broadway stage
exceeded $35, 600. The piece as it is
presented at the Broadway Theatl Q
represents an expenditure of $l55, 600.
A venture entailing such vast out
lay Of money well deserves the recog-
milton and support it is receiving at
the hands of the American public.

PIGE ON SHOOTING.
Public Sentiment Against it The
Bill May Become Law

I
Public sentiment in New York State
demanded the adjustment of the
trap shooting of live pigeons and this
month a law was passed with an over
whelming majority forbidding the
practice. Public sentiment in New
Jersey il equally strong Id demanding
a similar law and it would be a re-
proach to our Legislature should the
present anti-pigeon shooting bill in
the hands Of our Assembly fail to pass
through our Legislature this season.
The first argument against this So
called sport is that it ii cruel. AT
one large tournament last season 700
out of 2,2C0 pigeons escaped in a
wounded condition to starve and to
die lingering death. The rest were
| of the number killed on the field.
Should we tolerate such wholesale
and needless slaughter? A New York
paper forcibly expressed itself in the
following article when the pigeon
bill was introduced at Albany;
We should use all legitimate
meansato convince the Legislators that
it is their duty to end this abuse. The
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals and more than one or
ganization devoted to the protection
Of birds from wanton slaugher have
been doing admirable work in bring
ing to public attention the rapulsive
features OF the matches, sweepstakes
and tournaments in which graceful
and beautiful doves are manned ana
killed without chance for their
lives. Many of the best known news
papers in this city and in other parts
Of the State, and many prominent and
influential New Workers, have also
interested themselves in the move
ment.
1t seems hardly possible that the
bill can fail to obtain large MAORI
ty of votes in both houses of the
legislature. Most Of our State Sena-
tors and Assemblymen may be assum-
ed to possess kind and sympathetic
natures. Surely they will not shut
their ears on reasonable appeals based
on feelings of humanity and compass
sion.
The Tribune and other Journals
have repeatedly described the pain
full and repellant scenes which are
invariably conspicuous at every big
!" tournament when live pigeons are
butchered to make gambling holt
day. The betting on the rivalry Of
the crack shots is fast and furious.
But that is the least of the evils which
blacken this travesty Of sport. 1t is
the cruelty to the gentle, f1uttering,
frenzied doves which should inspire
every high minded man in the legis-
lature or out Of ii to join in stopping
the practice. Clay pigeons afford just
as thorough tests of relative skill in
Workmanship. This whole matter
has been gone over so thoroughly,
everything pertaining to it has been
presented SO plainly and fully that
no member of the State Senate or AS
sembly can plead ignorance of the
true merits of the question. !"

PASSED THE SENATE

The school bill was reported by the
committee on education and passed
the Senate on Wednesday with sew

do not change the general character
Of the bill but are intended to make
the administration of public affairs
in cities more convenient. The bill
appears to meet with general favor
and will doubtless become law.

The Paterson Gall commenting ON
the bill TO substitute county commits
sioners for the present Boards of
Freeholders aptly remarks:
The bill for the reduction of the
number of chosen freeholders has
passed the state senate and comes
during the coming week before the
assembly. 1t is said that sufficient
number of the assemblymen have ex-
pressed their approval of the measure
to warrant the prediction OF its be-
coming law, but all the SAINT it is
no secret that the freeholders from
all over the state will make the fight
of their lives to defeat the PROPOSE
ton Large delegations from every
county will swarm at Trenton during
the coming week, beginning on Mon
day night, and il that bill goes
through it will not he their fault If
the measure is passed it will reduce
the number of treeholders in this
county to seven at the election year
from the coming fall, providing the
people Tatify the measure at the polls
at the election in November of this
year. That they will, may be safely
predicted. In fact we believe that
tine people of Passaic county would
endorse the proposition by such a
large majority that it will practically
is unanimous for we take it for granted
that nothing could be more unpopular
than the present legislative branch
OF the county government.

LINCOLN AUTHORIZED BUILDING OF
MONITOR.

On another page of the Chronicle,
Captain KIlmer gives a graphic ac-
count of the battle between the Mon
itor and the Merrimac. That there
were almost unsurmountable obstacles
to be overcome before the govern
ment authorized the building of the
Monitor is well known. The credit for
its acceptance was due to John A.
Griswold and John f. Winslow, two
patriotic citizens of Troy. N. X. firm
believers in Captain Erieson's fight

fully with the Navy Department and
President Lincoln, as will be seen by
the following account of an interview

The plans of Captain Ericsson

and enthusiasm of an honest and mas
tering conviction, by Mr.. Winslow and
Mr.. Griswold, who had now become

Lincoln said: Gentlemen. why do

and we believe most thoroughly that

enter that shall be of vast benefit to

Lincoln was reused by the terrible
earnestness of Mr.. WinsIow and his
friend Griswold, and said, in his in
imitable manner, Well, l don't
