The unfortunate olf woman on her Way to market, whose petticoats w trimmed by a peddler to such an extent that her own dog failed to recognize jer and she was not quite sure of her identity, was somewhat like Mr. Lezow and his Police bills. Mr, Lexow was on his way to market, hig native charms concealed beneath the voluminous drapery of a gay and at- tractive lot of alleged reform bills. Mr. Lexow, like the old woman, had tho misfortune to fall asleep by the way- side, and during his nap, Mayor Strong ‘Bas come along and, with the big Power of Removal shears, borrowed, by the Way, from Old Woman Lexow's pocket, has snipped off a bit here and a strip @here until the condition of the skirts Weed be shocking anywhere outside the ballet. Other peddlers at Albany have also trimmed off bits from the ‘Bills, and still further amendments are tened. No wonder that Platt, who. of @ourse, plays the role of dog, fails to fecognize Lexow in this clipped and slashed and amended attire. ‘There remains only one salvation for Mr, Lezew. He had best gather what Be has left of his bills about him and gum along home as quick as he can, els he might fall asleep again with results Mefrible to contemplate. And Mr, Platt, he must trot along home too, or the wicked peddler with the Dig shears may cut his tail off or clip his ears. WO CLUE AS YET. The Waverley place horror remains at Present a profound mystery, and there @eems to be no clue by which the mur- @erer may be traced. In all such cases Fumors are plentiful, but nothing has yet been learned to furnish a probable theery for the police to work upon. ‘The attendant in the woman's waiting | oom of the Delaware and Lackawanna Raliroad station at Hoboken, a mulatto, believes she recognizes the body as that '- of a colored girl who came to the city ‘Dy that line last Tuesday and spoke to ber at the station.

Huckabee, a well- known preacher and Populist, of Farm- ville, Ga., was arrested at Providence, Ky., yesterday. The Reverend Huckabee is sixty-five years of age, and has done his part in keeping up the census re- turns of Farmville, Ga. He hae a large family of grown-up children. ‘The cause of his arrest was his ab- sent mindedness In carrying off with him when he left Farmville a few days ago, & young and Interesting daughter of the village—not his own—1n addition to moat of his worldly goods. The daughter is eighteen years of age, pretty, and the child of a reapectable widow. When arrested the plea of Huckabee was a novel one. He admitted the pos- session of the elghteen-year-old daugh- ter, but furnished ocular proof that he had taker with him his Bible and his hymn book. It was to wrestle with the young lady in prayer and to do battle with the a@pirits of evil for her soul, that he ‘had carried her off from the temptations of the Georgian village. It is believed that the Reverend Huck- bee's Bible plea will not aval! him, He is to be carried back to Georgia and there is said to be a strong smell of warm tar in the Farmville air. ONE OF FAME'S FUNNY LITTLE WAYS. Fame is 2 fickle old Jade. She's as coy and coaxsome sometimes as a cucumber, when that legume is selling at twenty five cents per cuc. In the market, and as heartiess as 4 tin horn with a rift tn it, at other times, Like the frequently quoted flea, just when you think you have her under your thumb, figuratively speaking, she isn't there, A direct and impressive example of this fact Is in evidence to-day. Boss Platt has been a boss, every inch of him ~or thinks he has. He has held legisla- tures, political conventions and the lke in the hollow of his hand. For years he has been ridiag the highest und whitest crest of conspiculty. Fortune emptled her cornucopia all over him, and Fame Jet her searchlight glances ilume him. Great has been too small a name for him. But ree how shabbily dame Fame treats him to-day. Mayor Strong speaks of him in a published interview with frigatfully flippant contempt as “some person; doesn't name hix name at all— simply styles him “some person.” O once iridescent and imperious Hoss! See how ridicu‘ous that old jade Fame at last has made you! Of the case of Murray and Kerwin, Mayor Strong saya: ‘The fact is that I toid everybody who asked me about the matter that I did not intend to re- move those men, That was up to three weeks ago. I did not, up to that time, Intend to remove them. 1 believed that they, as Republican Commisetoners, would stand for reform in the municipal service and do all they could to help us to realize such reform, When it came to the test, though, and a resolution was Introduced looking to a reformation of the police system these two men voted against \t. They stood in the way of that reform which the people had te manded and which I had promised to do my best to bring about, There was no courwe left but that which I have de- cided on." There is no concealment and no double face about this, It is Com- missioners Murray and Kerwin who hav: broken faith, ‘They have brought on their own deserved doom, Platt must feel sorry that he isn't a boss in Turkey, The Sultan announces some proposed Armenian reforms, and thinks of appointing fifteen carmakans and ten mutessurife to office, What a terrible lot of patronage to be wasted over there. Platt has some healthy henchmen looking for jobs that would make good mutessarifs, not to say tirst- class carmakans Bismarck’s wasn't the only anniver- sary yesterday. The Boston Evening Traveler began a new half century the same day. By way of celebration, it issued a big special number for last urday, marking the end of its first fifty years of life. A Hoboken grocer bought two barrels of granulated sugar for $12.75, but when he opened the barrels he found that his sugar had turned to ashes. Mr, Platt's November crop of aweets seems to have been barrels of ashes, too. Dr. Chrysander, Bismarck's physician, says the old man will live to the age of ninety. The shrewd doctor knows it will never be necessary for Bismarck to cross the trolley-car tracks of Rrook- lyn.

Mr. Farrell was an- nounced as “the aweet-singing come- dian.” They are always sweet, you know ‘They may have voices like fog-horns and an much magnetinm as n scalloped oyster, but they are always sweet. Mr. Farrell was, He bleated @ number of eongs with a voice that fell with a dull, sick- ening thud upon the ears of those pres- ent. But he had @ lovely part to in- terpret, one of those he: suffer from fatty degenration, In necond act the villain's catspaw, who rejoiced in the name of Mickey Hickey, committed a murder, He upped and stabbed the Rev. Robert Lindsay, a nice, pale young clergyman, in order that Father Conway, the Soggarth aroon, might be accuasd of the crime. And you can bet that he was thus accused, Mona accused hi, She thought that Mickey Hickey was Father Conway, and that's how she came to accuse him. ‘This dreadfully harrowing brand-new episode was arranged so that Garry Owen, in the shape of Tony Farrell, | could step forward and make @ noble sacrifice, That {# exactly what he did. “Father Conway did not kill him," he cried, majestic in his little black trous- erettes. “Do you know who did? It was 1."" Then the curtain came down, Now, I maintain that a young man who wants all the honor of committing a murder without committing {t 1s a fraud, Garry Owen was a fraud. Just for the fun of the thing, he claimed that he was the murderer, which was a selfish thing of him to do. I had no patience with him, He might have allowed the real murderer the luxury of being pointed out. But Jarry Owen" was full of ab- surdities, When it wasn't absurd it was chestnutty, which was much worse, It had a colleen in short skirts, who did a song; & police epy, a piper, a county magistrate, a funny man, who ex- claimed: “Oh, me! Oh, my!" at regular intervals, and a couple of girls, The villain, who had @ rich Irish accent at times—when he remembered that he was playing in an Irish tragedy—loved Mona, He had seen her grow up into beautiful womanhood. He must have had a grand pair of field glassen to do this. Mine are pretty good, thanks, and 1 couldn't detect Mona's lovelines: course, she hated him. “I am told him, You heard a great deal about Gerald Fitzgerald. You grew quite tired of him. He was a sort of Mrs, ‘Arris. In the lant act Maggie Cline appeared to arouse your Celtic blood.” That was a clever ruse to keep you tn the thea tre. Still, t would have been kinder to have put Misa Cline in the first act, so that ,ou could have gone home to an early bed, Miss Cline is a beautiful, heavy lady, but she couldn't lift up “Garry Owen.’ It was too much for her. She was the only feature of the cast, though, and I trust that Tony Far- rell will try and copy her methods. 1 have omitted to mention the author of almost defiantly So there now!
