The dade 1s not an American production. In characteviza- tions of course there ure exaggerations in order to make the scenes more vivid and im. {;rflsalvm In *The Henrietta” is the com- ination of u baliet dancer, a mining compuny aud a racing colt. Of course these get mixed up in a farcical way, but there are more than these clemonts to the comeay, which to be approciated must ba seen. Mr. Woodward is a Wall streot magnate with a Vanderoilt face, whilo Stuart Lobson, who loves pic- tures of actresses and buys them in whole- sale quantities from photographers and gives a premium for autograph signatures, possesses tne love of & delicious young girl and that certainly shouid be sufticiont happi- ness.

Mr. Pitou, in “The Power of the Press,” which opens a three-night's engugement at Boyd's New theater Thursday eveaing next, has undertaken to furnish a local drama in fourteen scenes, which employs thirty peoplo in the cast. ‘I'ho pictorial range of the play will be apparent when it is said’ that it brings into view with_artistic veracity tho warden’s office in the Sing Sing state prison: the Manhattan Athletic club: the corridor of the new Imperial botel; a wharf on the East river: a vivic picture on South street; a vicw of tho Battery and bay and a full rigged and equipped bark, upon whose deck the linal struggle takes p'ace. The picturesque me- chamism is therefore unusually elaborate and varied. Into this series of local scenes Mr. Pitou has worked the story of two men who are led astray by drink and evil com: panfons, and who ave sent to Sing Sing. Both of them hLave heroie, sel ificing wives, and one of them is the vi ruthless villain and is unjustly convicted of manslavghter. This man is,” properly, the hero of the drama. o is a ship carpenter, ana when be is released from prison he wears the social brand ¢f the convict and caunot obtain work. His suffering wife stands by him through all his misfortune and disgrace, both shielding and stimulating bhim with & woman’s love. ‘I'he nidus of the play. sucgested by the title and shown in the fourth scene of the third uct is brougkt 1nto view, when evory means hid been ex- hausted by the hera to reinstato himself in society and prove fis innocence, Mrs, Sey- mour, the wife of tho other coavict, ifts him outof the depths of despuir by announcing that there is a power than cao right him. It is the power of the prass, Mr. Pitou claims to have based this inci dent of the play unon an exploit of a New York paper which is doubtless fresh in the minds of the public. For the purposo of the story it is suffcient to say that an influential newspaper takes hold 0f the hero's case, brings to light new facts, and succeeds not only in proving the man's innocence butin obtaining an official recognition of it from the governor. Dramatically, this element is snid to be one of unseen power and justice. Blige Gowsiyp The profits of Patti’s seuson are estimated at §65,000. The New York season of grand opera closad last week.

Now tell 'them what 1o do. A star must be hor own stage manager in this coun- try.” Thus encouraged, Modjeska bogun to divect ber company, and Boucicault, coming into tho box-oftice, shook his head sorrow- fully and whispored: “She will nevor make a star—nover! A good leading lady, but too ola to learn anything more !’ Ior once Bouci- cault was mistaken, M. A, B.

A Parisian forced violots by electricity Blumisum is the best conductor of elec- tricity. All telephono lines in Helgium will be placed under the control of tho government at the close of the presenc yoar, The trend of experiment and discovery in eloctrical matters is today toward a solution of the problem of seuding telegraphic m sagos without wires, or, in other word through the air. A uovel experiment in conuection with norso racing will, 1t is said, bo tried on a St Louis race truck. Tho idea is to have racis atnight, and for that purpose the track 1s to vo lightéd with @ large number of electrio lights. A recently designed iucandescent electric lamp supported by spriugs is intended for use in carriages and otner vehicles. Cur- rent is to be supplied frow a storagze battery rried under the seat or in any conveuient place. Ohio is just now going wild over oleeiric railroads “beiween towns. For oxample, roads are projected from Masillon to Canton, Paiuesville to Fairport, Warren to Niles, Niles to Mineral 'Ridge, Cuyahoga Falls to Akron, Cloveland to Chagrin Falls, aod Cleveland to Berea. The Boston Board of Fire Underwriters will refuso to approve tho use of wooden cleats or fastenings for conductors designed to carry current for electric light or powor after the 1st of May. A recent improvement n Incandescent lamp sockets for use in dye houses, Lleach- eries und domp places has been inveuted, which, it is claimed, can be used in steam or under water with perfect success. A recent application of electricity is for the cure of deafness. The appuratus consists of a battery, a belt, an_electrode supporter on the belt and shaped to rest on the ear, and connections between the electrode and the battery. The current is apphed in finely graduated strength. Perhaps the most prominent feature of the eiectrical industries at tho present time is the general activity 1n the application of eloc- tric_power for the performance of heavy work and in larger uuits than have formerly been callod for. This is especlally uoticeablo in tho mining dustry. A now arc lamp has a wire gauzo protector upon tho top of it, the object being to provent tne escapo of the dangerous sparks which occasionally fly from the ecarbon poles and are the causo of fires. Tho gauzo is fino Amw does not interfera with tho difTusion of thi light nor with the placing of the carbons. Brooklyn starts out for her electric road with an order to the Thomson-Houston com- pany which will tax the utmost capacity of that company’s factories for the noxt six months. and a contract with the West- ingoouse Klectric and Manufacturing com- pany for §2,000,000 worth of motors and }) erators. Prof. Elihu Thomson in a recent articlo statos his belief that 130,000 horse powor at 500,000 volts can be transmitted 240 miles through toree wiros about as large as a gool sized knitting needle, and, moreovor, that this can be sont underground through a small pipe, using only cotton and oteap oil as vn insulator Kdisou has patented an alternating current generator the featvre of which is the fact that the field magnet has several poles and cousists of overlapping magnotic platos bolted together so that tho plates shall b in contact at the ends but shall be separated for a portion of their length. Repuirs to the magnots are thus casily made. According to the receut report of tho Massachusctts Gas and Electric Light com mission, only five persons wers ric wires injured by in that state during b ), and but oue of these fatally. Thirty are put down us baving been injured by illuminating gas, sixteen of whom- died, insluding two suiciaes, Mr. Granville Woods, a_colorod mau, hay made o successful invention Lhav is just now attracting attention in tne east. It 15 tho method of supplying electrical moving cars and trains, Tho new system, will bo supplied with po through wire brushes which make co tions with “heuds" from underground co dncting wires. There will be no exposc wiros. “Phe eleetric wolding of strect railway rails as @ substitute for fish plates Las been the subjcot of experiment for somo time at the works of tne Johinson Rail company, Johns- town, Pa. The experiments are now said to bo entirely successful, and it is possiblo to weld by electricity two pieces of steel of twenty-1ivo square inches seetion, and a solid stwel rail, three or four miles loug, aan be had if required. ‘The tosts also are suid to prove thav the necessity of joiuts to provide for contraction and expansion Is uut 3o apparent as supposed by eugineors. 'I'ho process has also been successfully applied to welding of wire cables Tho United States commerciai agent at St Etienne, I'rance, reports that the silk and ribbon industries of thatsection havaadoptad electricity as a power. It is Lo be applied 1o all_the haod 10oms. ‘The dynumos which will furnish the power will be ariven by water from tho city reservoirs, thus reaucing the cost to the lowest poiut possible. To grasp the importance and far reachis sults of tuis innovation it is necessary to understand that the buik of enormous out put of ribbons (§21,000,000 & yoear) is the product of bouse industry. The weavers of the most part own their own looms and opor- ate them by band in thoir own Housos. There are 15,000 loomns which are thus dis tributed amoug tho homes of I weavors, while whe number of looms driven by steam iu the few ribbon factories of the town is only 5,000. The 15,000 lvoms of the in poudent weavors are velued 1n Lo Bxgr gate ot $4.500,000. Wuat the city of bi Eueunne proposes to do is Lo convert each ouo of the 18,000 hand looms wnto & power loom driven by electricity. Klectric light will also bo furnished.
