Looks Like Evasion of Law.

The secretary of state has received the
articles of incorporation of the Bankers
Tontine Mercantile company Of this city,
but has as yet refused to file the articles
and issue a charter. There are internal
evidences that the company thus sought to
be organized is to do a business like that
which is aimed at by a bill passed by the
Legislature to require the entire tontine
business to come under the building and
loan laws of the state. The attorney general
is Of the opinion that the company should
be required to make a more specific state-

John Griffith, who comes to Ritz
vile opera house on April 18th, has
found in "a Kings Rival" vehicle
in which he can easily convince his
admirers that he is as much master
of high comedy as that of tragic
roles. 1t has always been his ambi-
ton to appear in stellar part where
the light and shade reaches from high
comedy to the deepest pathos. "a
Kings Rival" is rich in scenic en-
vironment, the true Castilian atmos-
phere predominating throughout the
acting OF the piece. A clever COM
pany is engaged in Mr.. Griffith's sup
port, including the popular leading
actress, Miss Kathryn Purnell. The
regular house prices will prevail, not
withstanding the increased expense
attending this production.

Ping-Pong is as great as its name.
1t is mans size game. 1t takes a
full length table to play it. Ping

fighting chance with ping pong. The
latter requires less clothes, less area,
and no less brains. 1t is quite the
thing to settle right down to battle
to the finish at ping-pong in ones
plebian dress clothes after dinner; no
one has said that it isn't good form to
play in ones fulLlength trousers; any
real lady may enter the lists with
never bit OF red on her gown or
jealousy on her conscience. Ping
pong is no 700 acre lot diversion; the
humblest citizen may frivol away al
it to his hearts content in his own
cozy cottage; this is easy if he has
spirit enough to rip down the parti-
ton between the boudoir and the Ii
brary. Ping-pong is allowable before
retiring and on arising; after dinner it
is the only possibility; indeed, what is
dinner sans ping.pong? 1t usurps the
last forty minutes of that grossly ma
terialistic hour in q fashion to bring
joy to the butler and riotous happi-
ness to the aged, the infant and the
dyspeptic. Eating will presently be
all but obsolete, so strenuous are be-
come the demands upon the dining
table for nobler purpose. Sand

poker. 1t is a winner whether you

Lewis Nixon admitted to Tribune reporter
last night that his information about the meth

Greater New-York Democracy were secured

TO any one who followed the various meetings

ber OF familiar faces were to be at each
meeting. This particularly illustrated at
the primary election in the XVIIth Assembly
District last Thursday night when Tammany
men were present in considerable numbers. and
took part in the voting
When Mr.. Nixon's attention was called to this
particular meeting he said. rather grmly:

that nearly all the thugs in the city there"
Well, notice a good many OF your people
were there" said the reporter. You seem to
be following these pretty closely. and with the
same men,"
We'll, guess you have got that all right"
said the Tammany leader. with grin.
Last night was Mr.. Nixon's night off.
Like the servant girls and the help, I rest
tonight" said he.
His rest did not begin until late however,
for he divided honors with Prince Henry hold
ing his court in the lobby at the Waldorf Asto-
ria. Among those who attended his levee was
a man who had a mysterious and important
message TO deliver. Retiring into a secluded
corner with the leader. he talked in stage whis-
pers.
Tell me what you want-telI me what YOU
want said Mr.. Nixon, impatiently. Then the
stranger whispered some more. At last the pa
thence of the genial boss was exhausted. and
referring the mysterious stranger TO his secre-
tary, he fed.
To a Tribune reporter he said that next week
would be devoted TO the completion of his tour
of the Assembly districts.
I have only ten left said he but as l have
two dinners on next week, I shall not finish
them until the following week"

Crook entered the saloon with George Tudor,
a newspaper dealer of No. 1,6S1 First-ave.
They had not been there long, the police say,
before they began to abuse Fay. Tudor it is
alleged. started the fight by throwing a glass at
Fay. The bartender advanced from behind the
bar with a club and endeavored to put Tudor
outdoors. Crook went to his friends assistance,
others who in the saloon took sides and
the desperate fight began. Tony" Cabind,
helper in the saloon, tried to help the bar
tender, who was raining blows with his club

While the struggle at its height Tudor, it
is declared pulled revolver from his pocket,
but before he had a chance to use it, Crook
grabbed the weapon from his hand, raised it
and shot Fay in the neck. The uproar was
heard in the street, and a crowd gathered bring

coc:se and that at the meeting of the Board
the subject would be taken up for considera-

any great reduction in the budget as a result of
this move though this was possible. He said
