FEW BEFORE MAYOR HAWKINS
Little Evidence of Rowdyism During
Christmas.

Christmas.
That Americas observed Christmas
day decorously and orderly was evil
denced at the session of police court
yesterday morning. Instead Of bar
racks crowded with drunken negroes
and docket filed with cases of disor-
DERBY conduct, there were less than a
half dozen cases all told and only two or
three OF these were for drunkenness.
Mayor Hawkins presided at cours for
the first time and was not disposed to
be too severe upon the Christmas rev.
eier who, inadvertently, had fallen by
the wayslde. It was remarked by many
that there was far less drunkenness
and disorder in Americas this Christ
mas than there was a year ago, a fact
worthy of comment and of commenda-
ton.

actual receptacle of roots and earth
one may spend nearly as much or as
little as one chooses. A fairly good
wooden box, fitted to the window with
hooks and staples for fastening, and
painted a dull inconspicuous green,
may be had for a dollar-in some
places half that amount. Against that,
set tile boxes, in silver or silver gilt
mountings, or boxes with stained glass
panels outside-both of which cost
very pretty penny. In between there
are boxes and boxes. The one thing
needful is that the box shall be stanch
and so set that it may not threaten
the heads or the lives of unwary pas
sersby. Fill it with the earth advised
for house plants. But before filling,
see that there are holes in the bottom
sufficient to insure drainage, and over
the whole bottom, spread a layer Of
broken crooks, or pebbles fully an inch
deep. Put the earth on this to within
an inch of the box top. Even a small
box should not be less than ten inches
high. A foot Is better-thus the plants
have sufficient soil. Emily Holt.

From the New York Evening Post.
In a recent book of travels in China
special point is made of the general
honesty of the people, as illustrated by
the numerous stalls and shops that are
left to look after themselves without
danger of theft But one does not have
to go to China to see that. Small stalls
and stands in New York are safe with
the public. The sight of a newsstand
with no one near to serve customers
is common. The length of time the
proprietor has absented himself can be
guessed with some accuracy by the
number of pennies which customers
have deposited as they have helped
themselves to papers. No one ever
steals from them. On several of the
elevated railroad stations the absence
of the newsboy from the platform
seems to be the rule rather than the
exception. Magazines and weel1lies are
sold, as well as daily papers, and dimes
and quarters are left in plain view for
the tender to pick up when he comes
back. The class of foreigners who sell
fruit and notions from push-carts are a
most vigilant lot of men, yet they, too,
sometimes leave their carts alone and
come back to find bags of grapes or
peanuts gone, and nickels in their
stead. In contingencies of this kind
the street gamins seem to have a
somewhat rigid code of ethics. So
long as a push-cart is right side up
with its contents in good order it is
unmolested. If the slightest accident
occurs, however, and single apple is
spilled, the whole is lawful prey.

pese performers and singers in pow
der and rouge. The names of Haverly
and Wilson bring back to mind the old
days of the genuine black faced, hila-
rious, harmonious, minstrel show. Both
are remarkable figures in the amuse-
ment world. Haverly, like all men of
undaunted ambition, has had his ups
and downs. In his costly enterprises
he has made and lost several fortunes,
and now, this season, that again he
seems to be on the topmost rung of
the ladder of success, the admirers of
his persistency and courage will feel
only pleasure. Wilson, since the we'll
remembered triumphs of that combi-
nation of talent, Barlow, Primrose,
Wilson and West, has been the most
conspicuous figures among minstrel
performers. He was a star nearly two
decades before, and while others less
progressive have dropped into the I'M
fashionable ocean of obscurity, a star
with undimmed lustre, he remains. BY
his refinement of method, his whole
some humor and his naturally artistic
temperament, he has done more than
any of his contemporaries to elevate
the standard of minstrelsy and to
place it on an equality with other
branches of the amusement profession.
To-day, with his eXtemporaneous hui
NOR, his quick witted repartee, and
above all his wealth of experience, he
is deservedly the highest salaried of
the black-faced delineators.

prominently in the action of the piece
A commedienne of the Casino stage is
supposed to desert the mimic world and
find refuge in Cairo, thus avoiding a
serious affair of the heart. She turns
to the creation of millinery connections
for livelihood and while thus en-
ployed she is discovered by her sweet
heart, New York doctor on whose
account the former stage divinity fed
the stage. From this point amusing
complications are opsy-turvied in
most abandoned manner. A couple Of
comic opera robbers so terrorize a
self-important German brewer (made a
pasha of the country by reason of the
introduction of his beer into the palace
OF the Khedive), that he arraigns the
American student for the crimes of his
tyrannical brigand advisors,
A pretty love story untolds
in the working out of the
plot, and comicalities are met
with at every turn. Harry B. Smith,
the librettist, selected Cairo for the
locality of the two acts, and the scenic
artists have built a most imposing en-
vironment faithfully reproducing the
noted garden square of that sun-tinted
city of the Eastern Continent, and the
interior of the superbly decorated pal
ace of the present ruler of the Nile
! country. The costuming of the piece
is carried out on an elaborate scale. A
: very tuneful score, with introduced
numbers of the popular variety, adds
to the value of the entirety. Ludwig
Highlander is responsible for the music.
