see the comet scheduled for that date.
He has fifty friends enrolled.

Opinion
Matinee Time in Chicago,

W Matinee Time IN Chicago.
New York Evening Sun
Devoted to the perfect principle OF try
ing to "give the people what they want"
al theatrical manager in Chicago lately
invited a poll of all his women patrons on
the question. What time shall the matinee
begin? The vote was taken at a matinee
when the audience was made up almost
entirely of women. and the result is inter-
esting enough to be noted.
out Of 5s1 votes cast. 1888 voted for a
matinee at 1So O'Clock. Some OF the voters
for this hour had written the reasons for
their preference on the ballots. Several
said, 80 can cook supper in time;''
more than one gave a reason most def
nitely expressed by the woman who wrote,
''To enable me to get home early, so my
husband will not know have been OUT
More than 200 votes were cast for the
present matinee hour OF 2.15 o'clock, while
50 women voted for later hour. giving
the reason that mothers with children in
school cannot get down to the theatres
SO early" It may be noted that while only
50 voted for an hour at which play could
follow work. 1s3 voted for the earlier hour
for play, with work and husband as a
dreaded responsibility dragging along, like
an evil fate, at the end of the day.
This vote. however, was but a single
experiment. The Chicago managers ought
not to be discouraged by the diversity OF
opinion expressed at that single pol of the
devotees OF the daylight drama All the
matinee audiences should be asked for
an expression Of individuals preference.
The single experience seems to indicate
the strong hold of the continuous perform
ance where a lady can get a full set OF
thrills about any time she finds 1t con-
venient to drop in, during the afternoon.
The Chicago theatres might form a COM
bination and all the 100 women could be
sreved at one house, the 2.15's at another
and those devotees OF duty who would
walt TIL o'clock for their matinee could
be entertained at another theatre. The
great point is to find out what they dc
really want; It will go hard with the man.
ayers IL they can't provide it.

NOT IN TOUCH WITH THE PUBLIC.

II HE New York Tribune points out that
Il Washington has the Reputation among
politicians of being the most unfavorable spot
in the United States from which TO measure the
current of public opinion. It says that long
service there habtuates a public man to the
artificial judgment of the capital and breaks his
touch with the sentiment at home. Zone hun
dred and seventy-seyen Republicans" says the
Tribune, approved of the continuance of the
autocratic rule of Speaker Cannon, yet it is al
together probable that could the issue of Can
nonism have been submitted to the constituent
cies represented by these TT stand-patters few
would have failed to declare in favor of the
diminution of the speakers excessive power"
In the city Of New York, the Tribune says ''it
has failed to discover a single newspaper Re-
publican, Democratic or independent which has
defended Cannonism"
1t continues, "The truest party regularity
would have been exhibited in giving a fuller ex-
preston to the sentiment of the country which
is much more nearly unanimous against Cannon
ism than the House vote showed"
No wonder Speaker Cannon has no love for
the newspapers of the country But be that as
it may, it is clear that there will be no attempt
to rule any Republicans out of the party as
some foolish persons in Washington were sug-
gesting not long ago.

LIKE A GAME OF CHESS.

THE $4,000 and $1,000 Gold Democratic
stories which have interested us all so
much have begun to attract attention in other
parts of the State, and, according to the reck-
oning of the compass of the Lewes Pilot, it call
sounds like a poker story. And to borrow a
term from the poker table we won't be sur
prised if our contemporary is holding bob
tail flush. 1t has held that kind of hand so
often"
Wilmington editors may not be familiar with
poker terms at first hand, but we are positive
that our neighbor, the Star, is not ''holding a
bob-tail flush" whatever else it may have up its
sleeve. And we may add for the benefit of the
sportve Lewes Pilot that the Star will continue

ments of the Star to the ancient and honorable
game of chess with which our neghbor is fa-

Knight that is jumping around and trying 70
check-mate the King. The game is a long and
tedious one and requires thought and adroit
moves-and thirteen years is therefore not too
much time TO devote to the play.
