zTEW YORK, Dec. I3.--"The next horse
M ride on" as Vesta Victoria once said
~ will be an automobile" So says John
Drew. the famous actor, who was
seriously injured at the Presbyterian hospital
here. "No more horses for J. Drew. Esq"
were the first words uttered by MIR. Drew
when he recovered consciousness at the
hospitals; whereupon everybody laughed,
just rs though he had said II before the
footlights. The accident which befell Mr..
Drew while riding in Central park may pre-
vent his return TO the stage until late in the
season. MIR. Drew's horse stumbled and
threw him, breaking his eonarbOne and
bruislng him severely about the face and
head. Ills life was probably saved by his
daughter, Miss Louise, who sprang from her
mount and prevented the horse from tramp
ling upon her father. Mr. Drew was un-
conscious when q policeman came to his aid.
He was soon revived, however, and taken to
the Presbyterian hospital He has been
playing in "Inconstnnt George" at the En-
pire theater.

THE EXPECTED DIDN'T HAPPEN
IN T.ilS CASE.

After all the kidnapping % billy
Whitla seems to have been just o
plain case CT kidnapping for the pur-
pose Of forcing fond parent To part
with IA few of the almighty dollars.
This Is one case in which the ex-
pected did not happen, When the trst
stories concerning the abduction OF
Billy" came cut. probably TWO thirds
of The newspaper readers were conn
dent that there was something back
OF it, The unusual and mysterious
conduct of the abducted boys father;
the apparently significant remarks let
fall By The Boyle woman and, In fact
almost every circumstance brought
ont seemed 10 indicate that the full
story would tell of something besides
kidnapping.
But James and Helen Boyle have
gone TO prison. the former for life and
the latter for % years. and no audi
ticnal sensation has been furnished.
Even in imposing the justly severe
sentences the court did not deal cut
the expected, fer persons who com-
nit this sort of crime, especially
when enc of them is n passably young
and .rpttv wnmnn seldom get their
deserts.
What is most surprising of all. the
past life of Papa Whitla is, as FAR as
the world knows, all that 1t should
have been, and his strange behavior
following the kidnapping of his boy
was not on account OF
fear of tales that would be told by
the kidnappers il they were taken to
court.

FUNDS WANTED FOR THE PLAY
GROUNDS MOVEMENT.

Heartily approving the idea, and be-
lieving that the money necessary TO
defray expenses in connection with
such a movement should be furnished
by the whole public, the Daily Press
has agreed to receive subscriptions
10 a fund for the establishment and
maintenance of public Fairgrounds for
the use of the city's little folks.
The details OF this movement were
explained by the speakers who ad-
dressed the mass meeting at the
Academy last night, and practically
everyone is familiar with them. The
idea is to place swings, various games
and other amusements on the Casino
ground for the free ne of children I'M

watchman on nand to see that the
youngsters do not hurt themselves
or damage the properly. II the first
playground proves a success. II is pro-
posed &c establish others. probably one
in North End and another in East
End.
This movement is for the benefit
Of everybody who has an interest in
the city and the city's children
Therefore everybody should contribute
something toward its support. No
large contributors are expected, but
there are hundreds CT people who
ought to be willing to give from 20
cents 1855. Sums much smaller than
s. probably will be the rule. therefore
no one should held back for fear that
he or she is unable TO give an amount
that will be acceptable.

tri5ution through its business Office at
any hour of the day from r. m. TO s
D. m. and such amounts as may be
received will be turned ever to the
committee with the names OF the COR

PosTPoNEMENT OF COMMIT
TEES REORGANIZATION.

TEES ORGANiZAI ION.
Though there has been some crlti-
cism of the action of the CITY Demo-
cratic in deciding TO postpo1e its re-
organization until Aungust, the Daily
Press is inclined TO believe that the
stem was wise one, provided 1t is no
in Violation CT the State party law.
The State plan seems to contemplate
the reorganization OF committees At
the time candidates for the House Of
Delegates are selected. and for THIS
raeson /, had been generally supposed
that new committee for this city would
be elected on June u.
With a view OF having the question
nassei upon, City chairman Perkins
recently addressed letter TO Mr.. ELY
son asking for an Interpretation of
The party law. In a reply. which was
before the city committee Monday
night, Mr.. Ellyscn was not particular
ly emphatic in his ruling. out gave
the committee to understand that ne
did not believe ii would be IN VIOLA
ten of the State plan 10 reorganize
the committee in August. In short,
the State chairman practically tells
the committee to decide the question
for itself. and this the committee has
Scne. OF course the committeeman
represent the local members of the
Democratic party, aud If there should
be any widespread dissatisfaction,
the decision TO reo-ganize in
August can be reconsidered, and
of candidates fer the committee placed
upon the ticket for the June primary.
Unless the objection seems to come
from a substantial part of the party
voters. however. the committee should
and very probably viii. stan- by its
action of Monday night.
There are various reasons Why IL is
not advisable to elect new committed
men in June In the GrSt pace. like
all local primaries, the one in June
involves several very warm contests,
In which local candidates iJr ofEc~
and their friends are doing their best
20 occupy the entire attention OF the
voters. Interest is cenlered upon
these contests, and at this time scant
attention would be faid to t1e select
ion Of committeeman. Such attention
as the committees Organization
might be given perhaps would b. OF
an undesirable kind. It wouic be easy
fo- the contests between aspsrants Tor
for membership on me committee %

such a way as to GOV sees e dis
card in tie parry ranks. Battles with

and every possible effort should be
made TO choose nominees and settle
all Questions arising without embit-
