exile In Milwaukee writes to the Boston
Herald:

A New York woman "begs to acknowl-
edge receipt Of invitation whereupon

Regrets" seem to be as numerous as
acceptances, but the preparations go on
blithely. The architect in charge Of the
decorations says that white should be
the predominant color because Of both
gayety and contrast" with blue, the local
color. A new sidewalk of granolithic
construction" has been laid in front Of
the Old South. The Mayor Of Woburn
will positively be present. The electric
fountain in the Frog Pond is sung pris-
matically by a bard OF the Boston Globe:
when the water Is turned on and there are
geysers and spirals and other showers and the blue
aud red and green and yellow and pink and purple
colors are thrown from beneath, It will look like a
lake OF liquid fireworks. II you can imagine such q

Our heart goes back to village musters
and election days and all the bravery Of
the brave old times. And oxen are more
stately and professional than horses,
especially those strange beasts hired
for civic festivals. The oxen give the
proper Athenian, and at the same time
rural, touch worthy Of this truly rural
celebration. But why are the Boston
ians so slow with their subscriptions?

A New Actor-Manager.

The actor-manager is a rare bird in this
country. He iourishes in London with
results to which the discreet phrase of
Baedeker, -variously Judged, might we'll
be applied. He is hailed by admirers as
the artistic leaven Of a drama that might
become wholly commercial but for his
saving grace. On the other side are his
critics to declare that tho actor vested
also with the powers Of a manager sub
ordinates every feature Of a play to his
own Importance. It seems on the whole,
however, that the influence Of the actor
manager in England has been for the
best. Such names as HENRY IRVING,
BEERBoHM TREE and GEORGE ALExAN-
DER are not without influence even in
New York.
Now there Ia TO be an actor-manager
here and he has outlined a programme
full Of novelty. It's most striking feat
ure 10 not the production Of n act
plays. Stranger intentions are his. He
has decided to abolish the theatre or
chestra, but its absence will not be re-
GREETED. As an aid to the stage illusion
so-called incidental music has long since
been given up here, and in the continent
tai theatres was never used. This device
was at the height OF It's popularity when
CLARA NORRIS used to play Camille to
La Traviata' issuing family and nearly
always incorrectly from the orchestra
pit, and . performance OF Romeo and
Juliet" could be rslentlessly accompa-
MED by extracts from GoUNop's opera.
Theatre music is now no more than a
means OF diversion between the acts,
generally inappropriate to tho play and
poorly rendered; so it will not be greatly
missed.
That no free tickets are to be issued
for the performances at this theatre 10
less surprising than another detail Of
its management. There 10 to be no ad-
vertissment Of the institution or the
plays. How the public will discover
what this actor-manager may be Oh sring
is an incident not 40 yet explained.
Maybe they viii wNje by the playhouse
and inspect ito signboards.
Such q purse 10 aot wholly without
precedent. It war not many years ago

Referendum Gone Daft.

The referendum mania in Wisconsin
recently manifested itoelf In the passage
Of q bill at Madison providing that in the
cities of the State an ordinance could be
submitted TO the voters upon the petit
ton Of 10 per cent. OF their number. Gov
crpor DAVIDSON, who wa supposed TO be
something Of q reformer himself, vetoed
it because, he explained, unnecessary
delay might be caused In city admins
tration II ar ordinance before going into
force bad to run tho gantlet OF a SUBJ
mission vote.
A . consequence the Governor has
earned the hostility Of the Social Demo-
Gratis, whose pot measure the referendum
a They say that they will demand
Of both the Republican and Democratic
parties that they indorse municipal refer
endum In their platforms. In view of
Mr.. BRYAN's threat to drive out of his
party all those who reject initiative and
referendum a. q desirable reform, the
Democrats Of Wisconsin may be ex-
pected TO succumb to this socialistic
doctrine, but the influence Of Governor
DAVIDSON should encourage the Repub-
licans to resist II.
The city legislator is supposed to be
very close to his constituents. They
ought to know him for what he is and
be familiar with his character and ca
pacity. His term Of service is short.
and IL he proves unit or unfaithful he
can soon be replaced. Representative
government is a sorry failure IL the
average city legislator cannot be trusted
to carry out the will OF his constituents.
Such q referendum law as that proposed
by the Social Democrats Of Wisconsin
would result in making a clique Of dema-
gogues and fussy reformers in each city
the actual lawmakers of it, besides
greatly increasing the cost Of admins
tration. 1t is well to watch a city father
and hold him strictly to his duty, but
who would keep tab on the ten per-
centers?

PLOT AGAINST JOSEPH
A SENSATIONAL STORY FROM
AUsTRo-HUNGARY.

BUDAPEST, December 6.-The Nap, a
newspaper of this city, publishes a SEN
sational story today to the effect that an
anarchist plot upon the lives of Emperor
Francis Joseph and Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, the heir to the throne, has
been discovered.
Tie story would appear to be founded
on the fact that the Hungarian police
were informed recently that four we'll
known anarchists had left Geneva for
Hungary with the object of making an
attempt upon the life of Francis Ferdi-
nand. The police were instructed to
watch the frontier closely, but so far as
is known no anarchists have yet entered
Hungarian territory.
Officially Discredited.
VIENNA, December Elm answer to an
inquiry concerning the reported anarchist
plot against the lives of Emperor Francis
Joseph and Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
it was officially declared here today that
the government had no information what
ever to bear out the suggestion that me
anarchists who are supposed to have left
Geneva for Hungary had any designs
upon the emperor or the hsir to the
throne, and the idea of any such attemnt
was discredited.
