It was ncarcely to be hoped that the Prince would be allowed to leave Eng- {land at this time. But the people here would have been highly gratified by his presence, which would have added , Greatly to the enjoyment of this year's ery interesting contest. ‘Well, everybody will welcome the Val- ; kyrie warmly, and will give hearty greet- {ag to her spirited sponsor, Lord Dunra- yen.

PERSECUTION OR PROSECUTION) Three desperate crimin whose crime 1s robbing the mails, are confined fn Ludiow Street Jail, They are in the custody of the Sheriff, who 1s bound to fee that they are safely kept. The three men pay the price de- Manded of prisoners who eat at the Warden's table “and that gave them everythi as the keeper, Schneer, remarks. This “everything,” Includes the priv- flege of being together in the Warden's office and in the yard, and of seeing all visitors who may call upon them at the Jail. Does this show proper diligence on the part of the Sheriff, whose agent the Warden ts, or is 1t a neglect of official euty? It is ascertained that the three des- Peradoes offered one thousand five hun- dred dollars as a bribe to secure their escape from jail, The discovery does not cause any Increase of diligence on the part of their jailers or deprive the prisoners of any portion of the “everything” to which their payment of the fees of the Warden's table en- titles them, Does this prove watchfulness on the Bherift's part, or is it a violation of hia official duties? On the day of the escape, when the three prisoners come from their cells to the office, three Keepers are present. One immediately goes out to mail a letter, Another 1s compelled to leave the office and hands all his keys to the third keeper, The third keeper has a loaded revolver securely locked up tn a safe. The three prisoners place pistols at his head, take the keys from him, quietly unlock the doors and let them- selves out. Does this look lke collusion? Doe: the possession of loaded revolvers by the desperadoes prove vigilance and a faithful discharge of his official duties by the Sherifr? Is it the duty of the Grand Jury to inquire into such a case as this or to Jet it pass over unnoticed? Is tt within the province of the Governor to remove @ Bheriff for such neglect of dut “giving to such officer a copy of th charges against him and an opportunity to be heard in hts defense?"

LEWIS LAUGHS. Mr. Dantel F. Lewis, who was Presi- dent of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company during the big strike and while his cars made their record for killing people, mostly children; who re sisted every movement of the Company's workmen for arbitration of the labor troubles—this man was before a com- mittee of the Assembly yesterday and admitted that the stock had been well watered and that, without the road in- creasing its business, he had sold his own stock at an advance of about three hundred per cent. And Mr. Lewis laughed. Of course he laughed. Why should he not laugh? ‘The law seems to be powerless against such sins, He and his kind laugh at law when they are swelling their stock with water, but they quick, how quick, to demand the protection of the law, protection to the uttermost end of its power, when their workingmen re- bel against continual grinds to the end that the stockholders may pluck full Interest on this inflated stock. And Mr. Lewis laughed! And people have already forgotten the words of Justice Brown, of the United Atates Su- preme Court, at the Yale commence- ment, warning the country againat the evil doings of the corporations, which “by parading the bugbears of ‘paternal- ism’ and ‘socialism’ have succeeded in securing franchises which properly be- long to the public,” railroad franchises without a of Brooklyn, Why should not Mr. Lewis and his kind laugh and keep on laughing? As predicted tn these columns some weeks ago, the British oarsmen have found a new reason to be dissatisfied with the Cornell stroke. THE OAPTAIN AND THE CABLE CAR. Capt. Pickett, of the Tenderloin, was yesterday and sustained severe Injuries on that part of his anatomy where a wing would have sprouted had the angel of him, He was getting on the car when the accident occurred, and slow up when he signalled. The con- ductor did not stop the car to find out what had become of him after he fell.

That beauty is its begin- when-you-like and end-when-you-please character, For instance, if you want to skip the first act—and you surely will—you will understand just as much if you start with the second. If you prefer to nap through the second act, you'll find no yawning chasm between the first and the third. In fact, you can do what you like with ‘The Sphinx.” It {s most pallid and unexacting. It proses on painlessly for about three hours, and you leave the theatre feeling 8 cool and unemotional as your nor- mal condition warrants, ‘This quality in comic opera 1s not to be despised. it is deadly in July to grow wildly en- thusiastic, and ft 1s equally health. churning to let your angry passions tise. Therefore, ‘The Sphinx” fills the Dill, as vulgar people si A Boston Opera ts soothing in July. I should think that @ Philadelphia concoction would be most refreshing for August. “The Sphinx” fs the work of William Maynadier Browne, as to its book, and ot Lewis 8. Thompson, concerning its music, Mr. Browne must be one of those happy, exquisitely minded young men, to whom every golden chestnut is an ebullient “Ha! Ha!" In his book he retails all the good old Jokes that ha’ made him smile. Like most of us, he imagines that what amuses him must entertain the majority of his fellows, and in his guileless way he tells all that he presumably knows, I can imagine him chuckling with laughter at his own book, guffawing with glee at such little novel sayings as “Where the lady wore the beads,” or “where the turkey lost his breath.” Then that good old literary chestnut, “Love is an 1 sane desire to pay a woman's board bill lapted for “The Sphinx”—no doubt plunges him into @ veritable cataract of mirth, and the witty gentleman who re- marks that “We are modern up-to-date folding Bedouins," probably completed Maynadier's mental ecstasy. The story of “The Sphinx” {ts founded on an Egyptian-Massachusettsian legend to the effect that “a couple to be married hap- pily must first go to the great sphinx, Hathor, and ask of her a riddle, which must be answered correctly within twenty-four hours." A tribe of Bed- ouins, who have just eloped with the pupils of a seminary in Cairo, make the trip to Hathor, and supply Mr. Browne with his story, which includes a hu- morous Harvard professor, a magician, # Sheik, and the principal of a ladies’ seminary. They are all of them meant to be very funny, and, as I said before, funny they most assuredly are to Mr. Browne, Mr. Thompson's music is better than his accomplice's book. There are o! or two dainty numbers in "The Sphinx, though the conventional tum-de-tum and the usual waltz atrocities are not omitted. I liked a quartet at the be- ginning of the second act very much, although it was wretchedly mouthe What the singers were saying, I have no idea. In the entire number I could make out four words only, and they were “a middle-aged man.” Why will comic opera singers mutilate the lyrics provided for them so ruthlessly? I don't mean to say that in Mr. Browne's case the “book of the words" was worth hearing, but it is nice to hear a clear, finely cut enunciation, and it so rarely Comic opera people from Lillian Russell downwards do not deem it worth while to give their librettist a show. Miss Marie Millard, a new prima donna, sang very nicely indeed. She has & sweet, refined and well-cultivated voice, although with a degree of stu- pidity and vulgarity that is unpardon- able, she was permitted to indulge in a series of vocal calesthenics that sug- gested a singing-school. Patti and Me! ba can go in for that sort of thing with impunity, but comic opera ladies should beware, Misa Millard, however, cer- tainly has a future, and she has, more- es JOKDS WHILE YOU WAIT.
