Skillful advertising and a previous ood repu- tation brought to McVicker’s Theatre Thursday night a remarkable tirst-nizcht audience to wit- ness the production of “The World.” Only those can uppreciate the attendance fully who remember the dismal opening of Me" seasons in 1674, 1875, 1876, and 1817, when the panic had left everybody poor or apprehensive of poverty, and the theatres had a strussle for existence. A checful contrast was afforded to those bad times in the bustling uudicuce of Thursday, which put standing-room at a premi- um uand represented cash, not free tickets, as tirst-ulght nudiences in Chicazo are upt to do. “The World” did not fully meet public e: peetations.. There is too much machinery in it and too little intriue. The stage-carpenter has fullsway. It is bis piece frum beginning to end. Without him it would be nothing. In an ordi- nary theatre, with a small stave and no unusual scenic or mechanical effects, the play could not hold au intelligent audience «through a Single evening. “The World" = is a good specimen of the mechanical drama. It is of a lower order even than the aiillinery drama by 50 much as the staye-mil- liner bas better taste and 1 more exalted mission than the stage-carpenter or mechanic. It re- quires more “soul” and “poetry” to dress a pretty woman becomingly than to make a seeue . Tevolve uf a ratt “toss” on a tempestuous can- vas ocenn. Aside from the performances of the carpenter; who is plainty the deux cum machina of the play, ibe merit of “The World" lies solely in a num- ber of isolated dramatic situations.” Wu should not forget that they ure drumutic, although they ure pitched into the composition without much reference to ench other or to the gencral effect. ‘Ybe scene on the steamer just beture the explo- sion, when the duped conspirator be for a boat, is highly dramatic; so wre the rait scene, the murder. the arrest, tho unconscious test qony of the governess, the escape from the in- sune asylum. the assantt. of Marry upon Mary, und the tla! catastrophe. The scene which bas Lven referred to as" the assault,” bas no pur- allel in recent stage history, and we hope it muy. hot soon have a compauia Its cold-blooded utrocity exeels anything that attempted in the Hestoraton comedies. Though it may be 2 strong dramatic situation itis not geod art. It inust hare been suggested to the English au- thors by the heroic expivit of Col, Valentine Baker, und since his apotheosis by the London lute it is not perhaps strange that British wu- diences should tolerate such an expibition; but the couraze of the persons who bave introduced itin America cannot be toa much wondered nt. When the strength of the situations hus been admitted, very litte remains to be said in fuver or The World.” The dialog is not redeemed by a gicam of humor. There is not an epigrun io it’ Melodrama is not, of course, a fruitful Neld to search for epigrains, but since “The World” bus a comic chnracter there would seem tw be no gross impropriety in giving bim some- tubing witty to say. % The action is not consecutive. We expressed the opinion Friday morning that “The World” was originally two, and possibly three, plays. It has three authors, and each of them caine to the task of collaboranon, it isevident,completely equipped with u plot, characters, and effects. The dismond conspiracy hus nothing to do with ‘tue insane asylum episode. The motive for put- ung Sir Clemené under lock and key would have been us strong as if the Lily of the Valley had not been blownup. Even Mo Jewel,who is fntro- duced somewhat clumsily as the. connecting Jink, would have had gutticient room for joining the cunspiracy if he had bad nothing to do with the infernal-mnacbine and the iusurance-fraud. “The Word” deals with emotions of a low order. Avarice and fear are the controling motives, Love cuts no figure init. The dra- quutists have rung the changes on parental love until it nas become a wearisome theme when. clumsily treated, but its capacity for providing maateriul to the clever playwright 1s inexhausti- ple. And how much nobler and more retiued it is than mere sordid passion! “The World" with “The Two for’ example, and observe on lower 2 plane the former is is than the latter. The tone of * The World” is positively vulgar. It is 2 criminul debauch in Jive acts and nine tableaux, It has, moreover, none of the tine workmanship that * The Two Orphans” exhibits. Such a thing as dramatic construction—that is to say, the putting to- gether of situations once conceived 60 as to give them the best possible effect in relation to each other—the authors of “The World" did not understand. Yer it.{s the touchstone of ull really great plays. The acting of the picce at McVicker's is quite equal to its merits. Tho first was badly done Thursday night, owing to the nervousness of the principal performers,. tut there was visible improvement toward the d. Roland Reed's Mo Jewell is perbaps con- ventional, but there is really nothing in the part or jn'any cf the others. Mr. George Mor- n’s) Harry was pleasing because not werdone. The actor hud the wisdom to jet the authors play the villain through him instead of attempting to exuygerate and travesty their ideas. In view of the extreme diliculty of the part, and the fair measure of success enjoyed in the presentation of it, Mr. Morton deserves to be congratulated. Mr. Crisp us Str Harry was quite sutisfactory in the scenes that reaufred vigorous action, but not entirely ut bis ease In those which demanded only a anodest deportment and emmplicity of speech and maner. Miss Agnes Proctor bas improved decidedly in the last few years. She dressed and acted the part of Matel with marked intel- Hgence. Miss Jietty Tracy was a shade too stitt aud slow as Mary Blythe, but .agrecable through. the reserveé of her demeanor. The minor parts were almost without exception well taken. The acting was at no time offensively bad or dis- cordant. it would be doing a great injustice to “The World” to pass trom the mention of it without reference to tne triumphs of secnic and me- ebsnic art with which it is adorned. The ex- Plosion of the Lily of the Valley, the revolving inad-houge scene, the raft, and the elevator are all as wonderful as anybody could wish. Stage- art bas advanced a long way since Mr. Crummels could electrify bis patrons with a pump. im- miense’ audiences at four performances Just week testified their approval of “The World” {in every usual manner.

It is notlikely thut Eliza Weathersby will again resume acting in burlesque or extrava- geunza. She has several new pieces iz which she proposes to nppear. in roles of the nature.of those performed by Lotta and Maggie Mitchell. Miltou Nobles and Dolly Woolwine were mar- rica in Brooklyna few days ago. Mefore tho ceremony the groom gave Miss Woolwine at resi- dence in the City of Churches, a cottage on tho Shrewsbury Itiver, and a bank-book entitling her to 8%, W. J.

She bas had the unre- ting attention of her _mother,—Mrs. Mc- Vicker, and also of Mr. MeVicker. The climate seems to have braced her up far beyond the ex- peetations of her physicians. A new theatre for the Italian population of New York City was opened Inst week at No. 152 st Forty-sgeond street by the Tommaso Sal- vini Philo-Dramutic Society, assisted by Signor and Signora Majeroni. Tho house is an exceed- ingly sinall one. Mr. Jobn T. Itaymond will continue his pres- entation of “ Fresh, the American,” during the forthcoming season. The play has becn greatly improved, and “ genial Johu," as he is known in the profession, expects to win as many laurels as he hus done heretofore in. bis-interpretation of the character of Colonel Sellers. Mr, Tracy Titus announced in the Detroit News Letter that Miss Ella Wren would star un- der bis mannyement as Romeo, Rosalind, and diamiet, As she is a rather elderly and very portly personuge, she became naturally indig- nunt, not alone at the announcement, but, also that it should proceed from Mr. Titus. is Miss Jeffreys Lewis, Osmond Tearle, and Ger- ald Eyre opened ten weeks ago in San Francisco to a large busiaess, which has kept up remarka- bly well. Miss Lewis was enthustastically re- ceived by her old admirers, and Messrs. Tearle and'Eyre were accorded a favorable reception. The opening piece, La Belle Russe,” was a version of “ Forget-me-not.” Genevieve Warde, with Jennie June as her guest, is traveling in Switzerland. Miss Warde returns to New York about the middle of Sep- tember, opéning at the Union Square Theatreon the 29th of that month. After that she makesan extended tour of the States till the middie of next May. A new play, entitled “The Spider's Web,” has been written for Miss Warde by the Hon. Lewis Wingfield. Harry Sargent has just entered intoan en- gngement with Mlle. Rhea, principal actress of the French Imperiul Theatre, Petersburg, Russia. She is said to be very famous in her own country and not unknown to America. She will play in English, and her successes in St. Petersburg will be presented _in America, among them being * Adrienne Lecouvner,” ~ Camille," and * Oiani de Lys.” She is young and handsome. Manager Goodwin of the Walnut ‘Street Theatre in Philadelphia, will play * The World” in that city, Aug. 18. He had determined to dis- regard Mr: Colville’s proprietary rights in the and firht the matter in the courts. Mr, I¢ backed down, and effected a tompro- mise both with Mr. Goodwin and with Mr. Hall, of the Lyceum, in Philadelphia, where he had contracted to produce the play. It would seem, therefore, that no exclusive property in the play legally exists. There are conflicting stories in circulation concerning the rumored engagement by Mr. Abbey of Wyndbam’s London Comedy company for the Park Theatre, New York.. It is conti- dently declared on the one hand that the con- tracts have been signed, and on the other that the neyotiactons have come to naught. At the headquarters of Mr. Abbey a most discreet si- lence is observed, and it may therefore be safely conjectured that positive announcements of any Kind on this subject are at least premature. Lawrence Larrett is passing the summer pleasantly among good friends in England. In n letter recently received he says: “1 went last Eight (July J) to see Irving as Hamlet. [like him amuzingly—uuexpectedly to myself. Iam afraid to say how much. Elien Terry is the best actress I ever saw. I was greatly pleased with *Julius Cwsar’ as done by the German Company. The working of the mob was tho chiet glory of the play. The cast wus uniformly wood: the stntony and Cassius were very good; but the scenery was beggarly, as compared with what we bad in New York under Booth’s man- agement. Irving speaks fondly of Booth, saya there never was such a follow, and loves him as Wwe all do.” os CONTENT. For The Chicago Tribune.

As the opera is new here, we pre- sent a brief sketeh of the plot: ij ‘The opera is founded on an old Tgalian super- stition, in elfect that there exists certain per- sons who are ** Mascots,” or hearth-fuiries. Good fortune follows the “ Mascot” wherever she or he may be, and the possession of one of these remarkable beings is, of course, highly desira- tle. The ‘ Mascot” in this instance is Bettina, a turkey-keeper, who is sent by a rich and pros- perous farmer to bis unfortunato brother. Lo- renzo XVII, Prince of Piombino, discovers the value of the girl asa conjurorof good luck, and, first making her the Countess of Panada, takes her to the palace, the poor farmer being made High Chamberlain. As the “ Mascot’s” power disappears on her marriage, the Prince is kept constantly employed in preventing. any such contingency. ‘The girl already loves Pippo, a shepherd boy, and the method3 taken to thwart the wishes of the young people, and the circum- stance that Prince Lorenzo's’ daughter, the Princess Flaminetta, also falls in love with Pippo, Jeads to » great number of ludicrous situations. Pippo and Bettina are finally wedded, but. not until the Prince, his daughter, and’ the Lord Chamberlain are reduced to the necessity of be- coming street minstrels. The cast of the performance will be as fol- lows: VY. T. Carleton Lorenzo. . Henry Peakes Hoceo, JC. Peakes Mr, Falrwether . Walter Allen ..Miss Adelaide Randall -Miss Emma Elisner — TIME HERSHEY NORMAL CONCERTS. During tho past week thé Hershey School of Musical Art has given three concerts in its nor- mal course, swelling the number of concerts under the auspices ot this institution to 3H. Mr. J. L. Johnston, who has a promising tenor Voice, ave a very interesting song recital on Monduy afternoon with a program of ambitious selections. He was most successful in Schu- bert’s “ By the Sea and “ Every Valley,” with the recitative which precedes it from the “ Mes- siah" of Handel, which were exccedingly woll sung. The other selections showed conscien- tous study and an excellent method. On Wednesday afternoon sir. Fredrick Bo: covitz gave a piano recital, opening with a fan- tasie and surabande of Kirnberger. as arranged by Carl Tausi, which was especially interesting. The rest of the program was made up of 2 lot of little pieces tor which Mr. Boscovitz appears to have such a predetiction. His playing was bard- dy up to his usual stanaard, it being cnreless and uneven, and the tone of the piano was trequent- ly forced to 2 positive dexree of unpleasantness. Miss Alice Maud Whitacre saug two numbers with charming grace and brilliancy. On Friday afternoon ‘Mr. Frank W. Taft, a young pupil of Mr. Eddy, gave an organ recital with the following program: 1, Toccata and Fugue in D minor. 2. Communion in G, op. 4, No.1 3. Olertoire ou two Christmas hy mus. 4.

Whitney The numbers were’ well chosen, and served admirably to display the orgunist’s technical ability as well us his skill in registration. Tho playing was throughout remarkably cleur and well detined, combining exceptional brilliancy and vigor with much’ steadiness. Mr. Taft's touch is excellent, und bis pedal execution is Tully equal to bis manipulation of the manuals, The rapid pedal passages in the Hesse “ Varia- ions" were brought out with great distinct- hess, showing unusual talent for the orgau us a concert performer, while the skill displayed in the various chunges of re;istration throughout tho entire progrim served to strengthen the yood impression produced. Miss Alma Bate, the soprano, sang un aria from Mozart's “Mar rige of Figar and the “Prayer,” froin “Der Freischiitz” of Von Weber, with excel” lent effect. ——= LOCAL MISCELLANY. Miss Eugenie Stovking, the young soprano, will give a song recital at Evanston bet ore Mr: Mathews’ class to-morrow evening. The German singing societies of Cleveland, not content with the Chicago Siingerfest, havo organized a Unton concert in that city, Bischoff, who has turned up there, will sing In It. Mrs. Grace Hiltz-Gleason will sing a song re- citat Wednesday evening before Mr. Mathews’ school at Evanston, the program of which will contain songs by Buch, Handel, Haydu, Schu- bert, Schumunn, Franz, and Rubinstein.» Thore Is very weneral interest to hear her, as this is | her first uppearanve there within two years. ‘The music for the forthcoming Exposition will be settled upon this week. As no Taubsie at nes last Exposition was pertectly satisfactory, thero would seem to be po good reason for disturbing the arrangements it then existed; on: the other hand, as their continuance brs an impor- bane laidones ae Biker pouaieat undertakings rtance, it would seem very to make different arrangemenjs. Vr UAWse Miss Jeanie Herrick, of this city, hus attained to, great popularity in Eric, Pa..'where she is singing at the concerts of Mr. Root’s Normal Institute. Of the institute itseit the Erie Dix- patch says: “Not since the days of Theodore ‘homas has the Opera-House contained such a large aud eminently musical audience as that which assembled last night to henr the second concert of Dr. Root’s Normal Institute. The large gathoring is proof pulpable of the great work Mr. Fred ltoot are doing in Erie. ‘The first concert was well uttended. but last evening stunding-room was barely attainable.

LITTA’S HISTORY. A Bloomtagton (I1.) dispateh to the Cincinnati Gazette tells the followiy story of Litta’scareer: Bfuch has been: suid of late in the news- papers concerning the movements ane engage- ments of Bile, Litta, the famous, but nitthor ill-fated, prima donna, and in many instances extreme injustice has been done to the gilted songstress ang to her intimate frionds fi Bloomington and Cleveland. Litta’s engage iment to Harry Cleveland, the well-known teno: is now a well-known god undisputed fact, but the wedding will not take place until she Is re- leused froma contract which she is in honor bound to fulfill to the very letter, Litta was the oldest duughter of a-very poor fumily, and when she cOmmienced ber operatic career, with very heavy debté hanging over her shoulders, it be- cume a matter of dire necessity that she mortguged'a house and lot presented to her by the citizens of Bloomington soon alter ber début in Puris. ‘Yo those Strangers who uro yet unacquainted with -her trials and exertions to earn a comfortable living for herself and fam- ily, besides the education of her brothers and sisters, since her return from Europe, we will give a few facts which will colighten the public and also place her in an en- tirely diferent position in the mind of every one. Miss Litta has been under contract with Mr. John Andernes, of Cleveland, 0., for the pare five years, in which she was togive him aif of her curnings during that space of time in return for tuition given her by him and the money spent for her during her stay in Curope. This contract expires in August, when Litta will give her teacher a farewell benefit concert in Cleveland. In addition to this great strain on her ourn- ings, she nas been several times cheated out of her pay by numerous scheming, heartless inan- agers, who have no sympatty for her. It may be truthfully satd that if Litta had been fairly dealt with In her business affairs she could, in- deed, be in easy circumstances now. Another thing is to be considered. Her fathor, who died three years ugo, left_many debts and bills of long standing, which Litta, although not at all respensibls for them, 18 and has been striving to pay out of her sulary. She is now singing during this wurm weather every night with the #reatest forbearance and fortitude. Her devo- tion to her mother is unparalleled, ber every thought being centered ion making fe. bright and happy for ber mother. She will rest during x portion of the month of August in this city to gain strength, so needful for her long win: ter's work. a MUSICAL NOTES. Mrs. Julia Ward. Howe is reported by the Providence Press to be writing a comic opera. Maurico Strakosch will return with Emma Thursby to the United States in the fall. Ho is now giving concerts in Sweden. The London IWorld aptly describes Mr. George Henschel as “ the best singer among musicians and the best musician among singers.” Mme. Gerster will arrive in Now Orleans in December. Mr. Max Strakosch will open the French Opera-Hcuso for a season of. cight weeks. The remains of Heari Vicuxtemps are to be removed from Algiers to Verviers, bis birth- place, where a mo2zument is to be erected to his memory. : Fabrini, the newtenor of the Abbott English Opera Company, Will uppear in oratorio during the season.

The College of Mus‘c of Cincinnatishas just issued its unnuat -catalog for the academic yeur of 1850-"S1., Besides a groat deal of inter- esting information about the college, its teach- ers, terms of tuition, methods of instruction, toxt-books, list of students, rutes, etc., it bus the programs of: sixteen “examinations,” 28 they are called.

Majesty's on the llth inst., when, instead of “Lohengrin,” a repetition of the Baron Orczy's “I Rinnegato” had to pe given. The audience was probably tho smallest ever assembled for an opera ut Her Majesty’s. Atthe end of the sec- ond act, during the ballet, there were exactly ninety-one people in the stulls, the orchestra outnumbering the people on that floor of the house. In short, no more disastrous fatlure than that of “Il Rinnegato” has been registered at the Opera-House. The Boston Herald says: “Mr. George Hen- schel has partially completed his scheme of pro- grams for the series of orchestral concerts un- der bis direction and the patronage of Mr. H. L. Higginson.. He has on his programs all thenine symphonies of Beethoven, two of Mozart, two ot Haydn, two of Schumann, one of Mendels- sobn, one of Schubert, two of Brahms, and ono of Rubinstein, beside a varied collection of overtures and pieces; and it ishis intention to produce novelties at not less than fifteen of the concerts.” Herr Richter’s managers in London have uurreled, and tho result of the consequent split is likely to be a new series of orchestral concerts next spring. The Richter season will take place, as usual, and tho other set will prob- ably be conducted by Charles Halle, with Wil- helmj as concert-master. Mr. Halle, who ts a capital pianist, and whose Manchester orches- tra has been esteemed the best in England, 13 devoted rather to the older masters, while Riehteris preéminently an exponent of War- ner and the new school,so that the concerts will doubtless be strongly contrasted, though as both men are devoted admirers of Beethoven there will also be no small rivalry between them, with the symphonies for a battle-ground.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cnicaco, July 30.—There has beon much writ- ten about the winter cholera, the water cholera, and the smali-pox which have been so prevalent during past months, but nothing about our summer discase, “hay fever." Will you in- form us through your paper if there have been any new discoveries in the treatment of it? ‘There are many physicians who claim they can cure the disease, but I have falied to fiad ono who .coutd even relieve or in auy way prevent the great suffering which we ure oblized to endure during the months of August, September, and October. Thave suffered from different diseases: none, however, hus ever equaled this. Saran J. HoLuann. (Lhe hay-fever expert of Ti Trinuxe au- thorizes the statement that half a-dozen new- fangled remedics have been submitted to him, all warranted to cure. He will devote a portion of the summer to trying them, and the remain- der, 2s usual, to sneezing, sore eyes, asthma, and other incidentals of his diseusedd Turkish Exile. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Curcago, July 29.—In your issue of yesterday was x telegram from Constantinople saying that the murderers of the late Sultan of Turkey had been sent to El Hedjaz, Arabia, where they will remain in exile for life. Will you be kind enough to tell me fu your next Sunday issue whether the ubove means close continement in a building (prison) or do they bave the privilege of going free around the town they are sent to, dust as they chuose? {s it tho custom in those foreign countries to alloy men exiicd to some island to-go rround louse on the island, or are they put under close confinement inn prison? Yours respectfully, INQUIRER. (Si Hedjuz is that part of Arabia extending along the Red Seu from the Gulf of Akabab southward, and includes within its boundaries the Cities of Mecca and Medina. Asa eneral thing these gxiles ure allowed the freedom of tho country to which they are sent, but arc Kept under reasonable surveillance to see that thoy do not attempt to escape from it. As to tho second query, in some cases a person has the freedom of the entire island, in others is con- fined to some particular city, and in others is shut up in prison.) Tho Streot-Sweeping Nuisance. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Curcaco, July 30.—It the writer {s not mis- taken the partics—whoever they inzy bo—who have tho contract for- sweeping the streets of tho city are bound by the conditions of the same to sprinkle previous to sweeping the streets. Now, it Is a notorious fuct—which can be veri- fled by storekcopurs and citizens. generally— that this condition’ is either wholly neg- lected, as usually is the case, or thut tho sprinkling is most imperfectly done, the sprinkling apparatus of the water wagon being so constructed that {t sheds scuree- Jy any water, never throwing {t outside tho Wheel tracks ‘of the wazon, and the wagon be- ing driven uta gallop once’ along the street. The clouds of dust caused by imperfect sweep- ing are not only disagreeable to passers on the strect but dumaging to the goods of those who baye stores. One Clark street dealer told the writer that every svouping injured his stock to the amount of at least $10. There is 2 petition in circulation which is being largely signed, and which will in due season Bo presented to the Mayor and Common Council, and it is to be hoped that the nuisance will soon be abated. Ayti-Dust. ‘The Fire-Bugs? Specious Pretexts. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Crrcaco, July 30.—Wll you allow me the use of your columns to call attention, briefly, to the fact that, in view of the statement that money has been raised or subscribed for the purpose of repealing the fire ordinance, there are persons who are willing to accept commissions predi- cated on that possibility. It is not only said that afund has deen raised, but this writer has been ‘approached for the purpose of using his ** infloo- ence” (whatever. that my amount to) in the game direction, We believe and know that éer- tain Aldermen are totally beyond reproach, but when we’ porocive ‘that some of .the best of them have bad the suggestion made that, under certain conditions, their property will be 80 overvalued that their wealth will be doubled, what shall we say for the integrity of those other Aldermen who are engineering this fraud, many of whom are apparently respect- able? In point of fact, some of our most respectable Aldermen have either been deceived with regard to this business, or elso have allowed thomscives to be lulled to sicep by the specious pretexts orarruments of thelr pretended friends. «repeal of the tire ordinance is one of the worst circumstances that could occur to this city. Luror. The Fire Ordinance—Shall It Be Tam- pered With? * To the Edttor of The Chicago Tribune. Curcaqo, July 30.—Nothing is of more con- sequence to the prosperity of Chicago to-day than confidence—confidence in our ability to meet every engagement; confidence in our in- tegrity, Its value cannot be overestimated. It was confidenco in our National Government which brought interest down from 6 and 7 per cent to 3! per cent, and thus saved us millions upon millions.: Confidence in our city will eu- able us to do the same thing with our $12,752,000 of funded debt, provided, always, we can main- tain that confidence. ‘Todo this, we must de- termine ourselves to stand upon the very nigh- est plane of integrity and good faith. That is something we cannot afford to tamper with. Our prosperity as a clty depends upon our ood faith. For the tive years last past wfhave prospered as no other city has. Our population has in- creased 100,00. Our business has increased more than 25 percent. Elegant busineas struct- ures have taken the placo of mean ones, and we now rank asone of the handsomest cities of modern times. For this we are largely indebted to the building ordinance of June 15, 1875. - It was enacted very opportunely. We bad not the money with which to rebuild. We must needs borrow. Wecould not borrow without contl- dence. We coutd not inspire contidence without gome gurantee that no more frame buildings should be erected within the city limits. Every- body understood that the safety of buildings erected depended on that, and that eapitil would not venture without some such pledge of protection. Woe needed the capital. We felt that we could not do without it. We gave the pledge in the shape of that or- dinanco, and capital was freely furnished. Un- der its influence we have xdvaneed in material prosperity beyond nll precedent. Do we owe nothing to our pledge of good faith? Shall we tura round now and betray the trust reposed in us? There is a law which is as inflexible as the law of gravitation. Chicago cannot escnpe its penal- ues any inv.e thanan individual ean, That law is, that If we forfsit the confidence reposed in ‘us, We sball cease to be trusted, and capital will leave us for pluces where it cun be secure. Are we willing to betray our confidence? Is it hon- est? Isitwise? Can we afford It? Shall a few land-speculators nold our City Council in their grasp und pass the incendlury meusures now before them? Cannot the property-owner haye some say in this matter? Are ull those splendid stocks and buildings which are tho pride of the city to bo pet in jeopardy without their owners’ protest eng heeded? = - There never was amore dangerous measure before the Council,—never one fraught with more mischief. It can do no good. [t is only evil, and as long as there is any chance of suc- cess in reyurd to it, these incendiaries will bring it up again every year. : Jtis hoped that public indignation will be so Aroused aslo put an effectual veto on this ill- advised scheme. - ANTHROPOS. Sunday Theatres. To the Editor of The Chicago ‘Trivune. Cmcaco, July 29.—During last winter the question of the proper observance of Sunday wag agitated with considerable vigor, and one point chietly noted was the Sunday theatre. Upon inquiry among the manacers the report- ers found that they all kept their houses open because Haverly did so, and it was argued that it he had not cestublished the bad precedent they would never have done so sacrilegious a thing as to play sensational dramas on Sunday, Now if Haverly was tho cause ot the Sabbath-breaking among our the- atrical managers, why, when Haverly closed bis theatre, did they not stop tho nefurlous trallic and give their people one day’s rest? Again, Mr. Haverly assures us that never shall bis house be open for seculur purposes on Sunday. Weil, why is It that Managers Humlin and Hooley still continue, and have made contracts to Keep open their houses on Sunday ail the coming season, while Haverly bas left Sunday out of every ono of bis contracts? Manager MeVicker bas iet his house to 2 German company for the season's Sunday nights. Is it possible that our manag- ers ean appeal to the respectable pecople of Chicnyzo six days in the weck aud to the disrep- utable clusses on the seventh day? For no re- spectable person would be guilty of at- tending the theatre on Sunday, thus depriving the actor of the only rest ne might have. In New York, Boston, and Philadelphia “no reputable theatre fa kept open on Sunday. ‘The law eteps in for one reason, and the man- Have we no Does Richard Hooley think be can ever draw the best people to his theatro by such proceedings? And John Hamlin, who is striving by every means to secure tne patronage of decent people, when his theatre bas smudge. of its one-time villainy still upon it, can he hope to ever gain the position he so longs for by keepingian open resort for the lowest clusses on Sunday evening? James H. McVicker, the Yoterin conservative manager of a quarter of century, he, too, stands in his own light by this parsimonious munner of letting his house to the German manager, .And all these honorable men (?) made Haverly'the scaperont last wiater. Now T would like to know whit excuse they can pos- sibly flnd-to escape the ignominy of popular disgust. No Haverly now atfords them an op- portunity to creep out miserably and cry He does ft. “Tne Trrose, ag the champion of de- cency, should not allow this chance to pags, but soundly flagellate the ghouls of desecration. =? “Fam Pay.” Mow to Prevent Smoke and Savo Fuel. To the Editor of The Caicago Tribune. CicaGo, July 20.—1 should like to state to the public the result of my investigations as to how steam-boller furnaces should be fred to sccure the greatest economy of fuel, rapidity of pro- ducing steam, an¢ the minimum of smoke, ‘The process is a very simple one, and the reasons fdr it perfectly comprehensible by any person of ordinary inteiligence. The way tiring is gen- erally done is to shovel in 2 mass of fresh coal, covering the grate-bars from end to end, and the result is immediately to cool down the boil- crs, as muy be seen by watching the steam- gauge, and the fresh coal so spread upon the burning mass below at once begins to give off a Jarge portion of Its eRements in the form of dense smoke, which immediately fills the fur- nace, and rushes up thechimney. The smoke and guses thus driven off ure a yery essential part of the fuel, and so disposed of meana wastage of from 20to 40 per centof the coal used. But what is the remedy? Htis this: Let the coal be fed in well down to the front of the furnace and allowed to coke there before being pushed over the bed of glowing fire. This simple and easily practicaple wethod of tiring will alone, to 8 con- siderable extent, abate the smoke and economize tho fucl,and in combination with the Union Smoke-Consuming Company's apparatus will produce results of the most surprising character. Of course, such firmg as Ihavo described re- uirgg more care than merely to heave in the fuel at haphazard, but itappearstome that ¢ saving of from 10 to 20 per cent of coal, where the bills reach into the high thousands, to say nothing of the abatement of an infernal nuisance, {s 2 sufficient reason for insistunce upon proper and careful firing, without which no furnace or smoke-cousuming appira- tuscan be properly operated. In the ease of the Union Smoke-Consuming Company's device, while the jets of dry steam mingled with a large volume ot oxygen are passing over u clear fire not one particle of smoke escapeseven from the fresh coal fed into the front of the furnuzce, but if the fire be completely covered with fresh coul the burner has no more chance to operate than it would have overa bed of ice. It is claimed for the devico in question that the mingled vol- ume of alr und dry stenm passing over the clear tire is reduced to its constituent guses, which are among the most intlammable of substances, and this claim appears to be well put in view of Dr. Holland’s recent experiments upon the dis- association of. water at a compuratively low, temperature by chemical affinity in the presence of free carbon, and the disassociation of water at a comparatively low temperature in the presence of free carbon meuns the most. perfect combustion with the lenst expenditure of fuel, us the water itselt, re- solved into its costitnent gases, becomes at once a heat-producing agent und the cause of per- fect combustion of the coal. These are reudily demonstrable facts, and all purties interested ‘would do well to give tho muiterof the suppression of smoke and econ- omy of fuel their earnest and unprejudiced at- tention, however badly they may baye been dis- appointed by former experiments, The impos- sible of yesterday is the practical of to-day. . Be Who Aro Yankees? To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cmcaco, July 23.—[ see in Tue Trisunxe this morming an extract from the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, which says, in speaking of a successor to Judge Ciiiford: ‘ But the New England peo- ple will probably demund that a Yankce shall suceced a Yaukee.” Now, I would like to ask, if an-exact definition can be given, as to who is meant by the turm Yankec. I am a native of the State of New York, and we called any per- sons from tho New England States Yankces; when Ieame West to live, many years ago, I was surprised to hear myself called 2 Yankee, and found that xenerally all from east of Ohio were so designated, Afterthe war [ went South to reside, and found that nll persons from north of tho Ohio River were called Yankees; and in sland all natives of the United States are iown as Yankees, whether Northernors or Southerners. A few years ago, having occasion to go to Stamford, Conn., to look at a dwelling-house which I wished to rent, the real-estate agent, while showing me around, took occasion to say of one house on his list that L probably would not like it, asa family of Yankees lived in the adjoining house. Says 1, “Yankees! Whom do you mean by that? I supposed that every native of Connecti~ cut was a Yankee, if there ever were any.” “Oh, no.” he replied, “we are not Yankees, Yankees come from way down East in Maine.” Isaia that I was clad at last to find-out where Yankecs reully came from. «A few days afterwards I waal calling on a+ young marricd lady from Portland, Me., and, telling ber or my experience, expressed my gratification in finally making the acquaintance of areal Yankee, when, to my great surprise, sho indignantly denied being a Yankee. For Heayen’s sake,” said I, “do tell me whom you call Yankees, if you are not one?” “Why, Yankees are those people who live down on the east coast of Maine, near New Brunswick,” she responded. As I have never been able to interview a per- son from the east coast of Maine, 1 would be very much gratified if you would auswer the uestion, * Who are Yankees?’ Very respeat- ‘ually. Newron S. Oris. {The correspondent’s illustrations of the Yague use of the word * Yankee” are very pat. ‘The word, however, applies toull the inhabitants of the New Engiana States, and was given to them at a time when Maine hardly had an exist- ence. 1tis ac Indian corruption of “English” or * Anglois," and drifted into use ag a designa- tion of the New Englanders at a pretty early duy. It was first applied, probably, in its dis- puraging seuse by the New Yorkers, who, owing to the early troubles between the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam and the English on the Con- necticut River, had a very low opinion of their friends to the East. So strong was this feeling, even at a comparatively late day, that Gouverneur Morris, in his will, provides that his son shall not attend Harvard or Yate because, if he did, ho would be apt to learn there “those disagreeable traits and habits which dintinguish the Yankee.” When the Revolutionary War ‘broke out the term “ Yankee" was used by the Britishers to designate the inhabitants of near- jy all the revolted colonics.—a natural upplica- tion of the term. since New Engiand was in many respects the head and front of the rebell- ion. Later on in tne history of the country, the use of the word “ Yankee” was extended, as the vorrespondent states, and it was employed by Southerners to mean pretty much anybody north of Mason and Dixon's line, and by Westerners to mesnanybody exst of the Allezhanies. Being used us much ina depreciatory sense, it became a sittle unpopular at home, especially among the ultra-retined people, who disliked to call tnem- selves “Yunkees,” or admit that they were such. Sometimes it is employed even in New Eugland in this contemptuous sense, where a man speaks of another who ig a keen. shrewd, sharp, close feliow as a “regular Yankee,” or, in its intensified form, asaregular Connecticut Yankee,” very much in the sane way as a colored person, black as tho nce ot clubs, will call another person as black us bitnself “a black nicer." being so accustomed to hearing the erin allaround him as a word of reproach. ‘There are larco numbers of New En- glanders, however, who have no ob- dJection to the word, and are perfectly willing to use it. Ithas been given as a name to many vessels, including some of the privat- cerswmen during the Revolution, and it was also the pet name of one of our pet prize-fishters— “Yunkee” Sullivan. It ig also related that, once upon 2 time when Prince Edward, after- wards the father of Queen Victoria, was travel- ing from Boston to Montreal, be stopped at a shuemuker’s house ina Vermont village. Feel- ing somewhat elited, ho suddenly kissed the shoemutker's wife. observing a3 he did so, that she might recollect that she had had the honor of being kissed by an Enxlish Prince. Where- upon the indignant husband took the Prince by the collur and kicked him out of the house, re- marking.thnt, when he returned home. he migbt tell-his folks that he had been kicked by a Yan- kee shoemaker.) . ————— That iow, nervous fever, want of sleep, and weukness calls for Hop Bitters. e .
