FALSE HOPES. It 1s amusing to read in some news- paper reports from Albany that the Legisiature is getting “tired of Platt @iotation,” that there is “a revolt @gainst Platt” in the Senate or the House, as the case may be, and that the Legislature was forced to yield to| Public sentiment and to make amend- ments to the Power of Removal bill. | Meanwhile, it 1s certain that Mr. Platt | fs as supreme at Albany this year as Mr. Croker was in the last Tammany | @eesion, and there is not at present the slightest indication that any po- Mtical measures of which he disap- Proves will become laws As to the “amendments” in the Power ef Removal bill, they were approved by Mr. Platt some days ago, and the erder to push the bill through was Siven after Mr. Platt's interview with Mayor Strong. If the positive Prediction that t Bi-Partisan Police bi1 will be defeate Tests on no better foundation than th claim that the Power of Removal b: Owed its success to public sentime there ix little hope that the city will be spared @ repetition of the experiment of @ huckstering political Police Com- mission. THE COLD SPELL. ‘Those persons who were fortunate enough to observe It enjoyed yesterd: afternoon, near the hour of sunset Fare spectacle of what may be called an ice rainbow in the sky, such as is f, quently seen at Niagara Falls on a c Sunshiny Winter's day. The refraction of the sun's ) through ice particles causes the phe- Bomenon, Yesterday it was distinctly seen, and was a beautiful sight. The cold for two days has been unu- ually severe, and the weather prophets Predict that it is not over yet. If they ate cormet we are to have a snow- storm, which is always an addition to the discomforts in a city, and this is to be followed by a second edition of the unusually cold “wa ‘The weather produces much suffering those who enjoy @ thought Ue feature of the cold }all times, but they seidom get so far in lepell? Do they act upon the thought by Going something for the poor if it does cross their mind? Now Is the time for charity. Now te the moment when aid, so greatly needed, ts most welcome to the sufferers. Now is the hour when old age, helpless in- fancy and ill-health at any age are most benefited and most comforted by the open and warm hand of benevolence. Will the poor of the city be blessed in this hour by the appearance of the rain- bow of charity in the cheerless sky of thetr existenc MUST HIGH HATS GO} The noble philanthropists at Albany who are secking to protect unfortunate man against the abominable high hat in theatres by a law seeking to limit the size of the female headgear are entitled to the gratitude at least of the males of the community, But their benevolent work does not go far enough, doubtless through an oversight, and will certainly be cheerfully made complete as soon as attention is called to its insuffictency. ‘The bill should be made applicable to the modern sleeve as well as to the Gainsborough or other toplofty hat. The balloon sleeve now rises higher than any ordinary plumed bonnet. and forms a far more effective obstruction to view of the stage by those behind its wearer. Two monster sleeves form just double the obstruction of one hat, Be- sides, the balloonlike wings frequently interrupt the view of the unfortunate being sitting next to them as well as of those in the rear. Of course, there is a doubt as to the constitutionality of this anti-high hat legislation, and the question may have to be decided In the United States courts as well as in the State courts. If a spectator from another State, visiting one of our theatres, should be subjected to the pains and penalties of the law, her grievances might be carried into the United States tribunals, so that a constitutional decision may be required both from the Supreme Court of the United States as well as from our State Court of Appeals. ‘The windom of our late lamented Ward McAllister's remark, when he was con- sulted on the theatre-hat controversy, can now be recognized. “Nothing can be done,” said the philosopher of the Four Hundred, “unless women take the matter into their own hands." If every woman would take her bonnet into her own hands in a@ theatre, of course the diMfculty would be effectually removed. But if the high hat goes, what is to become of the tall men and the big wo- men who sit in front seats? ‘There is but one method by which an entire audience can be put on a@ level. Let all theatres be supplied with chairs which admit of being made lower or higher by one or two feet through easy acting machinery. Then each one of the audience can bring himself to the com- mon level, and all will enjoy an unob- structed view of the stage. A 15 PUP’S CHRISTENING. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Davidson, of Cat kill, came to town yesterday, cold and cranky, as the husband afterwards ex- plained, and bought a chrysanthemum pup on Broadway for $15. Immediately they resolved themselves into a small riot in attempting then and there to christen the pup. Mrs. Davidson thought, Mabel would be the sweetest thing in the way of a name to bestow on the new dog. Mr. Davidson's idea was that it should be called Jack. A Cooper Union anti-Parkhurst pow-wow couldn't be noisier than the Davidsons became as their joint debate progressed, and a policeman In the interest of public peace ‘was obliged to arrest the pair. In court the Judge took @ kindly view of the case and discharged the David- sons. They went home arm in arm, Mrs, Davidson still cherishing the pup and Mr. Davidson rejoicing that it would be called Jack because {t waa that kind of a dog. ‘These are days when a great deal of nonsense about “‘inspiriting weather” and “the unadulterated nectar of nature 1s being taiked and printed by men who don't mean any such things. The honest truth Is that yesterday was too cold for any human use, and that no man, woman nor child would ever call such weather down upon the city, even with all power to do so. It was a@ bitterly cruel day for the poorly clothed and insufficiently sheltered among the city's | Population.

The politic gentleman, who never consciously offends, hum'd and ha'd, and then remarked: “My dear madam, ail I can say Is that I have never seen anybody like you." I thought of that when I went to see “The Derby Winner" at the Columbus Theatre, Har- lem, last night. Racing plays have been humerous since ‘The Prodigal Daugh- ter’ achieved success, but The Derby Winner," whose author is @ sporting writer, Alfred H. Spink, stands alone, I think {t will continue to do so for some time. I hope so. There are several nice, plump horses in “The Derby Winner.” 1 prequme that the animals must have lunched upon Mr. Spink's plot, for it was nowhere to be found. There was just a ragged soup- con of it in one act. Horses are euch Pavenous animals, and a juicy plot is so tempting. One can't really blame the beasts, although it is @ little provoking to sit for three hours through four acts Just to see seven horses chewing the cud of sweet and bitter plot. The soupcon that escaped this carnivoracity (don’t like the word?) seemed to deal with sweet Alice Noble's Jealousy of the Mis- sourt girl. The Missouri girl was a horse, and that's where the humor came in. Alice believed that she had a rival. I am quite prepared to state that no intel- ligent horse would cast an amorous eye at the dreadful person who played Alice's lover. Horses are so knowing. Another soupcon of plot revolves around an attempt to disable the Derby winner, but very little has been left of this. Everything, leads up to a badly staged race scene in the thint act, that sug- gests the scene In “The Outsider,” once done at the Park ‘Theatre, but {6 not nearly ax well done, ‘The hof#es race on the stage, and the latter half of the course I pictured in the scenery, and cardboard horses are used. It was funny last night to see the real horses come in at the fag end of the race, while the cardboard horses that represented them were still visible at the back, That's @ good Idea for a burlesque. There are only two members of the cast whose work can be mentioned. They are Arthur Dunn, who makes frantic efforts to be funny, and Max erman dialect comedian. Here is a specimen of Dunn's humor. He is asked what kind of a cigar he is smok- ing. “It's a female cigar,” he replies, ‘4t has a wrapper.” Isn't that dainty? The others in the cast are nearly all dreadful, They speak rumblingly, as though fearful of being heard, And perhaps there 1s good reason for it. In fact, I really belleve that there ts.
