Richard earle, one of the conspicu-
Gus figures in the musical comedy field,
is presenting a new play at the Ire
mont Theatre, Boston. Its title is
The Hurdy Gurdy Girl" II. l.. Heartz
who collaborated with Mr.. Carle in
The Tenderfoot' has written the mu-
sic. The story has a distinctly serious
turn and while there is promised an
abundant element of comedy the cli-
makes will be those of the drama.
This is Mr.. Carries first important ven-
ture in which he has written no part
for himself. Instead he has tried to
divide the honors evenly and has SO
constructed his play that everybody
will have a chance 10 make good.

original company in Chicago. The
rush is SO great that an early applica-
tion for tickets is imperative.

Of Boston has spent, roughly, $l3,-

cannot be calculated. but OF all NUM-
cipal undertakings and investments
this has been assuredly for the greatest
public good.
Continental subway systems do not
compare with that OF Boston, accord
ing TO Thomas j. Gargan Of the tran
sit commission, just returned from
nine months sojourn in European
countries. He made an exhaustive
study OF transit conditions while
abroad
THE most comprehensive system Of
transit, as planned Is in Paris OBJ
served the commissioner. There j
found a combination OF the elevated
and subway system The subway, as
constructed, is not as good as we have
in Boston. II Is not so large, nor
lighted so thoroughly nor so well
ventilated In many other details 1t
cannot compare favorably with what
we have in this city.
'In Berlin they have the subway and
elevated combined. When a train is
leaving a station the wheels strike a
pin in the roadbed which causes a bell
to sound. Instantly the name OF the
station where the next stop is To be
made appears in the front OF the car.
At night an arc light throws its beams
the entire length OF the train as II
slows up and focuses on the station
name.
Il found that careful thought had
been given the matter of speedy
exit in event OF fire in the subways.
Every COO feet there are exits to the
street and the station platforms are
connected by subways SO that the pub
lie is comparatively safe in case OF fire
or panic. The stations are scrupulous-
ly clean and apparently admirably
cared for.
I'm London inspected the new tube
and was disappointed because OF its
comparative insignificance. 1t Is not
nearly so spacious as the Boston sub
way and the system OF ventilation has
proved more or less failure.
Boston is far and away ahead in the
important matter Of subway ventila-
ton. Our method surpasses anything
| observed in any country | visited.
In this respect the Boston subway is
many years in the lead. and | cannot
understand why the continental au-
thorties overlooked 4 matter Of such
moment in the design OF the under
crpund transit systems

Theodore Tilton, whose death in
Paris, has recently occurred, was in
his day one Of our prominent journal
lists and hence claims mention. He
was of New York birth and after grad
uatng at the city college found en-
ployment as reporter for the Indepen-
dent, and while thus engaged first
reached notoriety by interviewing
Washington Irving this being the only
time the author was ever subjected
To such an inflicton. 1t was the last
year OF his life and he was living in
great retirement, but when Tilton
called he was SO much pleased with the
young and handsome reporter that he
freely gave an interesting column. At
that time Henry c. Bowen, having
failed in the dry goods trade, obtained
help from friends TO buy the lnde-
pendent, and having made Tilton edi-
tor. was highly gratifled by his abil-
ity.
Tilton also became very popular as
lecturer. which brought him both
applause and money until he became
intoxicated with success. He was, in
deed, ripening for fall, which was
hastened by the influence of two re-
markable adventuresses. Then came
the Beecher and Tilton trial, and as
Bowen saw that it would injure his
paper, he discharged Tilton and set
the Independent in square opposition
to all his vagaries. Tilton then de-
termined To find a new field in Paris
and never, since his departure, has
he visited New York.

Appraisers OF customs here have

little have been invoiced at many times
their face value, but through the an
xiety OF a woman importer Of paint
ings to have a picture shown at the
appraisers stores TO her friends they
think they have discovered an art
swindling game that has been going on
for some time. The woman gave the
value OF the picture as $4,000. In
reality il is worth about $500. The
woman's game was to sell the art

The mournful description OF the
"dregs of Europe" inundating the
Uni'ed States finds no corroboration in
the character OF the immigration at
Boston. The fine physical types OF
manhood and womanhood which are
noted in the stecrage arrivals az this
port have been matter OF comment
The newcomers which were landed
from the Romanic few days ago, for
example, are described as OF uncom-
mon physical fitness.
II is interesting TO note that o large
number OF the Italian immigrants an
nounced that they had come with the
intention of marrying, and in some
cases the ceremony OF marriage was
performed on the deck, in others at
church in the North End. No spectacle
OF immigration could be less sinister
or more hopeful OF future citizenship.

The action of the jury in twice going
before Justice Fitzgerald and to have
certain portions of the testimony read
to them was widely commented upon
and naturally caused much Specula-
ton. 1t seemed evident that the jury's
deliberations We're hanging upon the
question Of the sanity or insanity Of
the defendant as shown by the defence.
The jury showed an almost startling
familiarity with the evidence and the
testimony they desired to hear again
today was given in part by persons
who We're not referred to in the sum-
ming up speeches either by Mr.. Del
mas or District Attorney Jerome.
From the manner in which the jury
wished to go over the evidence in all
its detail, it was surnised that a YER
dict if reached at all would be pre-
dicted entirely upon the evidence and
not upon the unwritten law"
Justice Fitzgerald spent the entire
evening in his chamber awaiting the
pleasure Of the jurors.
Attorney Peabody was asked if Har-
~ Thaw would make any statement
and when Mr.. Peabody referred the
matter to TbaW he said he would write
just a line. 1t follows:
