The Police Commissioners yesterday fescinded the resolution of the old Foard, adopted April 20, ordering the po- lice parade, and decided that no parade should be held this year. Many persons regard this decision as unwise, The police have been greatly @emoralized by recent events, and the isclosures have shaken the confidence f the people in the force. ‘The evils are now In a fair way of removal; the bulk of the force Is faithful and honest; it ts desirable that the citizens should realize the fact that their lives and property are under faithful guardianship and that the criminal classes should be made to fear the police now us mach as they have feared them for years. ‘The parade would have reetored disci- Pline among the men, reassured the cttl- fens and served as a wholesome warn- ing to evil-doers. Its omission will have @ depressing influence on ali but the lat- ter. RECONSTRUCTING TAMMANY. ‘The Tammany reorganization was com- Pleted last nignt by the election of ex- Recorder Smyth as Grand Sachem, and the newly elected Sachems and other Officers were duly installed. Arrangements were made a ees appointed for a spirited celebration > ‘int Fourth of July. It has n Tee 3m to make the occasion one of espe- élal note, as signifying Tammany’s de- termination to reconstruct its organiza- 1 commit- tion and to enter the field after the late reverses bent on redeeming its fortunes. The belief that the reform Movement hes not fulfilled its pledge encourages the Tammany hope of revi- val.

As we have now a Police Board to be relied upon, and seemingly bent on holding the force well up to {ts duty, the people may rely on the case of Mrs, Mary Comerford being thoroughly in- vestigated. Mrs. Comerford is a respectable mar- ied woman, who has held the responst- | ble position of janitress of 419 West Forty-eighth street. Yesterday she was| out with her cousin, Maria Kiernan, ‘when she was struck by a cable car at the curve at Fifty-seventh street and, Seventh avenue, and was knocked down end considerably hurt. Naturally, no policeman saw the acc @ent, and there was no arrest of g@ripman; but an ambulance was called, nd after its arrival Policeman Haa. ef the West Forty-seventh street st tion, came along. The woman refused to get into the ambulance, and Haag et once accused her of being drunk. The woman was taken first to the hos- Petal and ther carted around to the Yorkville Police Court and locked up There are plenty of witnesses to the @ccident, and the case demands inves gation.

Moreover, it t» extortion, and the large fare is exacted for the benefit of the Ferry Company. It would be largely to the benefit of Staten Islanders, and of the vast con- course of people who visit the island for Tecreation as well, if the fare were to be reduced. At the same time, It ts In- sisted that @ five-cent rate would fully compensate the Company. But the Comptroller thinks the public interests ought not to be studied when they might interfere with the profitable sale of the ferry leases, Mayor Strong says he now can appre- clate the difference between signing a petition and having several thousand of nem poked at him every day.

They were doubtful, because actresses who are wedded to their Art re sometimes precarious. Success rarely comes until the divorce has taken Place—until Art settles at a distance, and puts forth alimony. Not to beat about the bush any fur- ther, I will say at once, boldly and unhesitatingly, that Miss Martinot, dimpled and creamy as ever, is likely to be far more successful wedded to Mr. Figman than to pale and elusive Art. Figman is not romantic. He 1s rmint ind he dresses abominably; his clothes are even immoral in their Wag- nerlan tints, but he has evidently helped Miss Martinot to be something other than dimpled and creamy. She lovely thing, with @ ravishingly beautiful face and an exquisite form. She looks like a startled nymph, although I am quite convinced that nothing on this earth could startle her. Her air suggests that she is standing with reluctant feet where the brook and river meet, though I'd swear that she would sooner sit comfortably in a victoria and roll through the Champa Elysee. Appear- are #0 decept! @ somewhat enter- taining farce by B. C. Stephenson and William Yardley, Miss Martinot does the She is Uetlghtful, and she has found a voice at last. Time was when she only allowed you to look at her. Bhe used to swallow her voice before it reached the audience. Now she can be heard over the footlights. Her {dea of the frivolous, absent-minded widow who crossed the Russian frontier as the wife of a filghty young man be- cause she had mislaid her own passport, and who consequently became involved in a whole labyrinth of complications, {s most refreshing. Several little bits of business she introuces are perfect. ‘Phe episode in which ehe forgets the name of the church where Ferdinand te to be married s# bowllderingly funny, and those exits of hers are admirable. In fact, Mies Martinot shows us for the first time that she can act; that she Is no longer wedded to her Art, and that she therefore has a distinct future as a star, She ts still very much wedded to her dressmaker, however. She is deter- mined to wear dresses. She belleves in ‘em, In the third act she lacked op- portunity to sport a third gown, 0 she made one, A servant entered and asked her if she would like to put on one of his mistress's gowns, her own elaborate creation being apparently rumpled. Can a duck swim? Off skipped Sadie to ap later in another dress, which, considering the fact that \t was sup- posed to be somebody else's, fitted like @ glove, Then she had a fetching cape, the lining of which she wished to show. So she wore It Inside out, and pretended that this was due to absentmindedness. Yes, she decidedly belleves in clothes. It ts @ pity, however, that Miss Mar- tinot doesn't know how overwhelmingly pretty ehe is. I can't see why she should have thought it necessary to surround hersolf with such plain wo- men as foils. It ts cruel to engage foils. T'll be hanged if I'd consent to be a foil to anybody. Miss Martinot posed In an assemblage of dreary ladies, and she needn't have done it. She might “sup- port” Lillian Russell, and still rest un- dimmed, I've said much more about Miss Mar- tinot than I intended doing. But the affair at the Bijou reminds me of a box of chocolates with a lovely picture on the box, The chocolates are of the com- mon or garden species, but the picture 1s a dream, Sadie Is the picture, and the rest, including “The Passport,” are the ordinary chocolat ‘The suggestion that ‘The Passport” encroaches upon “My Oficial Wife” ts absurd. The Gun- ter play was a wretched, fifth-rate melo- drama; “The Passport” 1s a rather breezy farce. One might as well protest that the Galety burlesque of “Monte Cristo, Jr.,” was stolen from the Dumas ovel, It ts ridiculous. Miss Martinot has one or two clever associates, Joseph F.

The deep respirations, he says,stimulate the blood |currenta by direct muscular exertion and cause the entire system to become pervaded with the rapidly generated heat. Hints About the Table, For a meal of several courses {t is ne longer good form to lay all the knives, forks and spoons that are to be used at each cover at the beginning of the meal, No more than four sets are placed at first; say, the oyster fork, the soup spoon, the fish knife and fork and o1 larger knife and fork for the first re- leve of meat. Other eating implements are added with each course that follows, This plan prevents embarassment to the guest who is not used to sixteen courses and does not forestall the appetite ef one who fi Wise and Otherwise, Fair faces need no paint.

And yet they complain about getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning and working until midnight to earn $0 cents for sewing buttons on trousers.

Because the girls prefer to work in factories, so as to have their evenings to themselves, to run the streets and bring di tress, shame and often crime to their doors, and jet they complain of hard times—all work and small pay. I hear enough of it, and have no patience left, and my sympathy 1s wholly with the mothera who have to make sweat-shops of thelr kitchens and wew buttons on, MOTHER, A Champion of Albion, under the heading, “Hy letter signed by Glanvil Melntyre.

BULLY LONDON. A Remarkable Thing in Swallows, 1 spent last Sunday in the country, mot tar Gistant from New York, and in the evening I witnessed what appeared to me to be @ very al ular occurrence. About Balf am hour before dusk, I observed @ great number of mall birds think they were swallows) fying ewitty in « Jarge clrele over the top ef. echost-hovse, Mvory minute the Sock of birds appeared to increase im ——>=—= [sumer until I estimated that there ware af Jeast 1,000 birds In the alr. Arcund, and around, and around, again and again the birds soared, Just above the chimney-top, the diameter of the cirele decreasing with every revolution of the flock. Suddenly, to my surprise, the birds began te descend in @ thick stream Into the achool-house chimney, and continued to pour into it without intermission until every of the large flock: had disappeared. As I watched the birds fiying, or rather falling, into the chimney, it reminded me of a stream of muddy water pouring dowa- ‘ward through a ten-inch pipe. Tem satiated thes fully five minutes elapsed while the birds were tumbling into the chimney before the last eoe had fallen into ft. They poured tm ao rapidly that I was at @ loss to understand how they could arrange themselves in thelr narrow quar- tere with any degree of comfort. There certainly Was not time for the birds to make selections of places, so I concluded that the object was te tumble into the chimney promiscuoulsy, and ar Tange for the proper order of things afterwards, Will not your ornithologist kindly enlighten us {m connection with the occurrence above referred to, and state if there is anything remarbeble about it? are A New View of Trust Fighting.
