Because Mr. Waurster’s German theatrs at the Now Chlcago was not as well patronized during this as during former scasous, it was construed Into 3 sign thnt the Germansof the city would and could not support a first-class German theatre permanently. 8uch, however, 18 not the fact. Chicago contains a large Ger- man population—as Jarge as many German 2npitals that kupport first-cinss theatres—that wiil visit a theatrs once a week, at least, were Eood performances given {u thelr mother- tongue, provided such performauces are as rood a8 those piven in the English theatres, ‘The succcss which Mr. Wurster nclieved dunng tho two scasons provious ‘to this oue proves the assertion. The companies he hiad then were good ones, and cach rolu was in tlic hunds of a capable actor, which resulted in ROUd enaemotes, ana performances that gave eate Isfaction. The Ucrmana are well cducated, critical people, and thoy know the differvnce be- tween good and bad performances. Thoy do not cate to sce plays where the principal parts are performed by brilliant actors, and tho minor parts put in the hands of amateurs, but they want to sce every part, no matter how small, perforued in an acceptable manncr, ‘This sca- son Mr. Wurster took a vew departure, andfen- gayed o few great sturs, but had no actors toad- equately perforin tue minor varts. The perform- atices were rot as roundod as mrmurl{. and the resuit was o financial fallure, Mr, Wurster's ill-success this year was in sowe reasurc also due to the fact that some of the actors he en- gawcd aa good actors turned out fallurcs, and, when they were forced to ratire, ho could not get the proper material to All thelr places. But during the lust fow weeks seyoral Gurinan thea. tres in other places broke up, leaving some good materlal free for engnchcu r. Wurster cinbraced the opportunity thus afforded, and reorganized his company abuut thres weeks engaclog actors that' were capable of giv- Ing such performnances as delighted the large audlernves at hie theatre durlng the previous scasons. This new company contajued no such brilliant stars as Cottrelly, but every actor was capable of filing his part, uo mat- ter how amall, ncceptably. ‘The result has veen mognetic, Instead of cmpty benches, full houses wure the rule, and, it the cnd of the season was not 5o near, Mr. Warster would undoubtedly retriovo fu @ incasurc his previous failure, and make up somewhat for the losscs bia sustalned. This proves that the Uerimans will suuport a good first-cluss theatre n this city §f the right kind of ptsys with good stock actors ure presunted. Since the reargaul- zatlon of Mr. Wurster's company the perform. nnces have been all that could be desired, and even better than durlng foriner seasuus, Prob- ably the best and most enjoyablo performance cver given at this theatre was tie performance of a vew melodrama, by Adolph’ L' Arrouge -(the ablu sud witty autbor of the suvcessful ma ** MefuLeopold "), entitled ** Hase- Daughters.” A flner 1 this kind has uever been written, aud 1t 1s o superior to *1ein Leopold.” Tho characters ure all ex- ceedingly well drawn, and It requires a com pauy of more” than ordiuary tsleut to give it the Proj effect, It requires tragic as well as comie acting of superior quality,” Tho strength of the presept comuany of Mr. Wurster was fully attested by the able mauncr |o which the lay was performed. There was not a flaw fu rlus pertormance, sud every vart from the largest to the smallest was satuslactorily rendered. The comle sctivg was capitably dooae Ly Messrs, Koch, Helorich, Chriitian Shober, and Meler, aud Mesdanes Bockul( aud m'“"“f'lwm‘"n""’ traglc part of the performance could not have l:.:fin Itg better hauds than Mr. Donald aua Mrs. Biepbany, Next wreck's performauce will bo tho last ove this season at this theatre.

RIDING ON TIIE RAIL. An Episode on a Night Express Train ~—A Methodist Parson and His Companion. Their Arrival in Cideage and Their 8udden Departure. * The dafly train from Omaha on the North- western Rallroad dashed tarough the vapors and the mists that overhung the slumbering town of Morrison, Ill. The whistle blew, the bell rang out, tho brakemen aroused them-. sclves, and the panting, snorting englne came to a dead stop In frout of the depot. The con- ductor sang out, ** Mor-rl-s-0-n, Mortleon," In an cocrgetic way, and swung his lantern to and {ro as the one solitary passenger cntered the train. Tho Incroasing puffs of the engine told of growing specd. Tho station-master at Mor- rison muttered to himsell, cursing the fate that, awakened him at carly morn to sell one ticket, and that to a woman, and retired to bed. The mists gathered around the de- pot, and all was as before,—cxcept in one car of the traln that was fast disappearing behind the natural swell of the carth. There, away back {o the corner of a scat farthest re- moved from tho uncertain and yet tell-tale glaro of the smoke:begrimed car-lamp, sat a young woman, her arma folded resignedly across her breast, drawing closer acound ber a dark cloak. Her face was half concealed by a heavy vell, yet ono could sce by the eager way In which sho peercd about her and startedly turned when the doors opened that she sought some one. Upon entering she had hurrfedly scanned the coun- tenances of thefew slecning traveters whoso snores and bootless feot sticking high abovethe scats betokencd attempted rest. Her motions were such as would attract attention, for thoy were not merely. the actions of a thmid young womau traveling alone at an unscemly hour,—1 o'clock at night. Thero was on inde- scribable something that proved an attraction. 8ho scttied back In the seat, refusing a berth in the “sleeper,’? and sald nnd did notbing Lut gaze and think. The train whirled aloog, the slcepers slept, tho lamps burned dimly ns be- fore, and the mysterious young woman fn the corner sat 8 If unwearicd of the cheerless mo- notony. What thoughts were hers'twerchard to divine, as the train rattled on and un, now stop- ping to Plck up a stray travelor, and now *lay- ing Ly" to awalt o possing traln, Her thoughts could have becu hardly as Interesting to her as were thoughts of her to anc unobscrved, for only when the traln stopped was she on tho alert to notice the slightest Interruption of her solitude. At lost the voice of the conductor shouted out’ ¢ Do Kalb.” The young woman started, half-turned in ber seat, and gazed steadily at the door. ONE MAN RNIERED THE CAR. . He planced around him, and, utteringa sub- dued exclamation that betokened no less of surprise than ol pleasire, hastily approached the young woman and sat down beside her. The meeting was cvidently lllcuslnu to both, ‘Their embraca was cordial and confllences most tender. Was he ler father! Ie was old enough to be. What was there fu his manner that sald that he was not lher pareati anhln% but an unsatisfactory answer could ‘be given to that question. They tatked and * laughed gasly, chatted about this and that, and scemed” to refolee In each other's company. Presently she became tired, and leaning gently and trustingly upon his breast sho felgned to slecp. His anu kindly supported herin her not altogethsr restfut nt- titude, and occasionally he would bend his nead and Imprint upon her brow, her cheeks, her lips, kisscs numerous and ardent, While they sat thus peacetully and apparently happy, one could notlce that sho was doubtlcss {uat vut of her teens,—a pluulng.‘tmulel:;z girl.

The expression of lLer face was pleasing in the extreme, Ilu was o manapparently on the dark side of 40 years.

Thoy occasion- ally resumed thelr chat, and Lis arm did not tire with use, for ho held it Kinaly about her walst and drew her close to his side. Thcir lips and eyes met with a regularity becomlug the Inipetuosity of a groom and bride. “Thus the hugerod and kissed nnd petted each other tiil tho sight of many houses told them that Chlca.

AND STILY 8T. LOUIS 1S UNHADPPY, St, Loute Repudlican, Aoril 19, The effort of ths Chlcago railroads to dictate the rates which the shorter Bt. Louls roads ehall charge for freight to and from Kansas City to this city fs only one featirs of the marvelous fabric of discrimination which the ralironds interested (n that city have managed to butid up for its benefit. St. Louls {s making o good fight for trade supremacy dospite this discrimination, and it Is diMficalt to see, there- fore, how Chicago would maks any headway at all if all of its discriminating tarifls were broken up. The rates between the Enst and West are armnoged so that the aro almost pro- hibltory agalnst any trade to 8t Louls. Nominally the miicage distance * to the two cities fs the basis of the freight tarlf, bul ns a matter of fact the mile- age is not _taken Into consideration in flxing ratesatall. The ditferonce in the mileage be- tween tho distance from New York to 8t. Louls and New York to Chleago. Is recognized by rail- road managers as only 10 pér cent, but tho west-bound rates always show more than 18 per rcrcunmmcrcncc. he followlng tabular ex- hiblt Wil show the actual tarif® as it now exists {rom New York to Chlcago and 8t. Louis, and what it would bo for 8t.

Louls rate is fixed arbitrarily, withont reference to the mileage, and, to make the mat- Ler worse, an arbitrary extra is added to_cover the bridze and tunnel tolls to the Unlon Depot, That there Is not a shadow of excuse for such a lmlluv {8 quite plain, yet it is persisted in, ond he discriinination haa been maintalned so lon, that the railroads are scarccly willing to lv.lmft that it docs oxist. They have even como to re- gard it ns o matter of course, and eometimes tha managers scem really ‘to have forgotten all about it. But the 8t, Louls Lridge tulls are not tho only arbitrary extras that are eaddied on 8t. Louia to hielp aldng this alscrimination, for at thmes, wlicn busincas s brisk over the Baltimora & Oblo route, an arbitrary extea of 86 a car, or about de ver hundred, Is added to the 8t. Louls rate for the bridee at Parkersburg, although it 1s uvowed on cood authority that no such cxtra was evor ndded to the Chicago rate. Ilow this discrimination works acainst St. Louis nceds no cxplanation; but it will not bo out of place to show some of its far-reaching cffects that may not occur to the ordinary ob- server, for it Is only not damaging the business of 8t. Louls merchants, but it turns away vast amounts of through business from New York ta noints furtner West, which would naturall take the shorter line by way of 8t. Louls, If this discrlminating tariff did not make the longer route through Chicago cheaper. Tho follow- ing exhibit " will show the tariff on different clusses of freizht from Naow York to Chicago, and Chicazo to Kansas City, and then the rato from New York to Kansas City by the Chicago route, obtained by adding the first two: New Yorkto Chicagoto New Yorkto Chicago, Kanmln: cily, Kanens Gy, 5 Flre| i 1 See 1] 8 Third 50 1% 65 Fourth....,..40 10 0 Filth o0 o004 10 0 60 Remembering that the shortest lino from Chis cogo to Kansas City I8 402 miles, and the short~ cst from Bt. Louls 275,-tho enormity of this dis- crimination agalnst 8t. Louls will be appreci- ated. ‘The 8t. Louls ronds would have to carry firat-class freizzht tor nothing and pay a bonus of three cents to_the shipper to deliver New Yorx freight In Kansas City at the samo rate that it can be sent through Chlcago, would cat- 1y second-clnss for nothing, ot ong ceut for third, and four ccats for fourth and “fifth, The war golug on with the Chicazo ronds just mow for the Missour| River business cannot but bo unequal under these circumstances, aud ft is quite npparent that tho St Louls ronds west of the river have earried the fight as far as can tho! carry It. ‘This Is well understood in [fvhlm;:o, and Tie Cutcaco Trinuxg of Wednesday, commenting on the last cut made hy tho 8t Louis roads, snys: *The Chlcazo roads do not mean to follow’ this reduction, as the ofd rates aro such that 8t. Louls cannot cxact ita regular .difference unless 1t reduccs the rate on sowo classes below nothiug, . . . The maunagers of the Cblcagzo “roads say it docs not matter what rates the 8t. Louls roads now make, as at the above they get all the business they want.”! Thero 18 truih In this simply be- cause the fleht for 8t, Louls hasto bomade wholly by tho road west of the river, Thes have doue ali they can do, aud the respousi- bility for all * that romalns to be donc rests with tho 8t. Louls roads east of the river. If they will mako tho rato to St. Louls based oin mlleage, und stop thelr discrimination, tho fizht willuo lonzer ho uncqual, for, with tho difference In mileage in favor of 8t Louts, thore will bo no trouble in bringing the great bulk of the through business this way. Itis not tobo supposcd elther that this through rate s of no linportance to 8t. Louts merchants, for If the Chicago nicrchant ean buy goods tn’ Now York and place them Iu Kansaa Clty at aless !rclflbl rato than thoy cost when thoy como through St. Louts, the Colo- rado and New Mexlco buver will go there to inake kis purchases. Via Bt. Louis, it is about 1,340 mlles from New York Lo Kansas City, and ¥in Chicazo 1,433, s0_that if the frelzht rates from New York to 8t. Louls and Chicego are based on equal mileage rates, the St. Louts mer- chunt, other thiugs belng cqual, can undersell the Chivago merchant Just the freight on 106 niites, which is vtouygh 1o give 8t.

COMPETING FOR WEST-BOUND FREIGHT, The New York Z'ribune states that the man. agersof tho canal llnes are making extraordi- nary cfforts to secure west-bound frelght, and many contracts bave been mnade already, Larce Jobblog houscs at Chicago, Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, and other lake citics refusc, fn nuinerous Instances, to submit tonger to the rates cstablished by thetrunk Unce, and threaten to scud shipments by canal und steamer unless an fmmediate reduction (s made. Au agent of the Btue Lino says that cowmission merchants arein carnest, and wiit certulnly resort to tho canals unlcss tho rallway rates on west-bound frelght are cut down, loalso saya that a few weeks ago the Executive Committco of the trunk lincs resolved to reduce the west-hound rates 80 per cent, in aoticipation of the openiog of canal navigation, but Lefore tha circular was Issucd this action waas reconsidered and indetin- ftely postponed. As ‘ono result, this ogent says that in less than two wnrklnf days he lost 1,600 packuges of merchandiso, He clains that the transfer of merchandise to the canals, in ad- ditlon to the_diverslon of trado to Boston, will Lo ecriously felt by tho railroads.

Louls Times reporter had an intervicw with members of the Board of Rallroad Com- missloners touching the working of the rallroad law which went futo effect on the 1st of April. They state that the only road, so far as they know, which shows any {ndication of absolute resistance to the law, 15 the Hanuibal & 8t. Joe. ‘That road clalms that, by virtue of its charter, it tsexempted from control by the Btate, especially 88 regards tho State fixing maximum rates and Ireights. The Commisaioners are of the opin- lon tbat tho State bas tho right. All or nearly all the roads in the State resist the fnterpretation vlaced by the Commisstoners ou tho following scctfon: ‘*In computing the 1ates of frofaht according to the provisions of this act, tho dis- tunce shatl be computed from the polnt where {t 18 recelved In this Btate, nulwulmlnndlng it may pasa from one road to snother,” The Commls- tlonera say the law means that the shipper may ship over two or more roads at rates such as: they would bo {f the ruads wero one line, That may be (liustrated {n thia way: It the ratc on a car-lond of lumber for 175 miles, say, over o single road was 823, that should be the rate on a like car-lond of lumber for the samo distance, cven If pasecd over two or more roads, and the rallronds that carry the Tumber must scttlo the distribution among them. Tho Commieslonera further atated that they hind presented to the acveral rallroads an equitable solution of questions pertaining to tho ulatribution of freight charges. The ralle rond men clalm the law means that each road €an charge on the freizht as if it started anew when passing from one ronl to another, The differance betwecn tho two Interpretations makes o Inrge differenca In rates. For Instance, in the illustration above given the Commission- cra' Interprotation makes the frelght rate $23, Therallroad men's Interpretation makes it $42. In reply to a question na tothe gencral features of the aw, the Commlssioncrs stated that the law as {t now stands 18 more or less fmperfeet, and sbould be amended; that at the Jast session of the Legialature they preaented the needful amendments, which were passed wnanimously in the Beaate, bu defeated in the House by ono yote, through railroad influence.

The sub- stitution of fron or stecl for wood, in the sup- partof the ralls on our American roads, would cause large prescnt outlays of money, but would result in a saviog similar In character, and perhaps greater in proportionate amouul, to the saving which comes from using steel {n- stead of dron for ralls. What 18 equally impor- tant, it would open upa now ficld for the profit- ablo manufacture and use of iron, involvine enlarged consumption of coal, and would save {from waste very larze quantities of timber that ‘t’l m!!cdcl.l for other and more durable construe- lons.
