They caroused all night while the crowd was gathering in the Old Bailey; but “just as the dawn was beginning to peep, the whole of the party was fast asleep.” When they l|woke they found that the hanging was over and the body had been cut down and taken away, “What was to he done?" says the historian; “the man was dead, 80 my Lord Tom Noddy went home to bed.

Commissioner Waring yesterday aaked for a transfer of fifty thousand @ollars from the sweeping account that for the removal of snow and Ice. ‘The Mayor remarked that last year it ost only fifty-nine thousand dollars to Temove the snow from the streets in February and March, while this year Mr. Waring has used, with the sum now asked for, two hundred and thirty- five thousand dollars, or four times as much as was ever asked for before. The Mayor seemed to overlook the fact that whatever amount was appro- priated in former years was thrown @way. No work of any moment was Gone. Certainly this year the main thor- Oughfares have been freed from snow and ice more effectual’y and more speed- fly than ever before. When Col. Waring referr; fact yesterday the Mayor adv hereafter the tenement-house to this A that districts ghould be relieved and the dignifiel gen- tlemen who travel on Broadway should Be left to struggle through the snow, _ “let them how! as much as they will.” “There is no one to protect the tene- gail the Mayor; e streets can look out for to guffer, but to make certain that the Gtrictert economy ix practined, that every dollar is honestly spent, and then to appropriate as much as In needed to clean the astreeta in every part of the city without making any distinction be- tween the “dwellers on the fine streets’ or the tenants in the slums. A BREAK IN THE CABINET. The resignation of Postmaster-Gen- eral Bissell is announced. It ts said that Representative William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, will succeed Mr. Bis- sell. ‘The reason given for this first break of the Cabinet is that Mr. Bissell's law Practice among big railroad corpora- tlons—the business of most of the mem- bers of the present Cabinet ts with big ratiroad corporations—ts suffering seriously and will be much ‘injured by Mr. Bissell's absence at Washington for another two years. There is a rumor that another prominent administration railroad lawyer has been trying to entice away some of Mr, Bissell's clients, but as the suspected kidnapper ts closely as- sociated with President Cleveland, the rumor {x doubted, Mr. Bissell has been a fair and satts- factory but by no means great Post- master-General. Representative Wilson 1s well-liked, able and worthy of a re- ward, But {t would have given more general satinfaction had the vacancy to which he succeeds been in a different Cabinet office. HOW LONG! If the murderous work of the Brook- lyn trolley cars 1s allowed to continue without check, the roads may before long be tied up again, not by a strike, but by the imprisonment of a majority of the new, incapable motormen on charges of manslaughter. Yesterday three victims were gath- ered in by these slaughter lines: Stephen Gill, a twelve-year-old boy; Gu: tave Carlson, eleven years of age, scholar Frank Dumbleton, a young man of twenty, who was driving with a com- panion, when the horse fell. While the men were getting the animal to his a in Public School No. 2%, and feet, one of the murderous cars came rushing along without slacking Its speed and Dumbleton was run down and killed. ‘The boy Gustave Carlson was so com- pletely wedged in under the car that the flooring had to be cut away with axes before his mangled remains could be released. How long Is this horrible butchery to continue A bill at Albany, Introduced by Sen- ator Donaldson, provides that Elevated rallroade In New York City must equip all passenger cars with the most ap- proved lighting «ystems in use, and pro- hibits the use of off after June 1 under + penatty of Sa day per car. ‘The “L." road organ In New York promptly de- clares this a “strik measure.

The pamphlet is most adjectival and comprehensive. Were its glowing panegyrics absolutely beyond question, Mme. Rejane could be the most marvellous creature that ever waiked across the it claimed that she possesses graco, wit, sweetnes: tartness, frivolity, earnest- ness, tenderness, indifference, “beauty without beauty, a nothing capable of everything.” Rejane appeared at Abbey's Theatre lant night in the very nice but rather- too-much emphasized “Mme. Sans-Gene." As she tripped up the stage (French comediefines and American soubrettes always trip), clad in the imaginary garb of the washerwoman, you saw a pleas- ingly unpretty face, that set the con- ventions aside. Rejane has curious halt- velled eyes, that look rather pensively @t thelr objects; an unpoetic mouth, daringly irregular teeth and a plump figure. Her voice is agreeable, and she is thorough'y at her ezee, She did not acknowledge the fervid applause that greeted her entrance, Perhaps she had been warned that first night enthusiasm in New York is a hollow mockery, about 4s substantial as the no'se that it makes Rejane won favor very quickly by the natural methods she showed, by her dainty litte gestures, her droll facial expressions, and her incessant good hu- mor. Her laugh is a delightfully conta- gious affair, and the audience joined in the extravagant mirth that she dis- played when she handed the washing bill to Napoleon. Rejane seemed to tg- Nore ostentatious effects; she made very few points. Her performance was con- sistently good. I cannot, however, un- derstand why anybody should rave about Rejane. She is a clever come- dienne, and nothing more. Paris is filled with admirable actresses who have all the tricks of Rejane. In fact, these tricks are the stock in trade of the French actress, and American audiences have seen them before. Rejane Is a fascinating woman, and an exceedingly humorous one, and her Catherine Hub- scher Is an excellent plece of work. “Mme. Sans-Gene,” however, had been spoiled for us. Its hovelties had been exploited by the production at the Broadway Theatre, Refane's tricks have been carefully copled by Miss Kidder, and while the original ts in- finitely more desirable than the imita- tion, that original suffers when you get the imitation first. Miss Lotta, the American soubrette, founded a particu- lar school of acting; her pupils were numerous, Among chem were Miss Minnie Palmer. Miss Palmer went to London and was recived as a sort of novelty. Miss Lotta followed her, and was a failure Dost see the point? Miss Kid- der has so conscientiously copied Rejane that when Rejane comes we say, “Oh, we've seen It before.” It is hard on Rejane, Take the little episode of the letter written by Catherine to De Neip- perg. Miss Kidder had every one of Rejane's effects, even to the use of the handkerchief. Of course, Miss Kidder 1s crude compared with Rejane, but she has spoiled one's interest in the French actress, The company supporting Rejane is not a particularly good one. The voice of the prompter was heard several times— a most unusual thing in a French org: ization, M. Duquesne was not very Na- poleonic, but I was thankful for that. Um as sick of Napoleon with his kiss- curl as I am of Trilby with her foot. M. Cande was a very good Marshal Le- febvre. I heard several youths in the au- ditorlum deciare that Rejane was im- mense, because she was the typical Parisenne of whom have heard so much, That made me smile. The typ!- ‘al Paristenne is a myth, invented by the illustrated papers in the French metronolis. Go to Paris, hunt for her high and low, and you can’t find her. ALAN DALE. “EVENING WORLD” GUIDE-BOOK.
