The Court sustains the contention made for Jacobs in the appiication for the writ, that there must be more than one accuser to make out a good case of perjury.

ANGTRY IN PLAY KING LED “The Crossways” Full of Back- Number Speeches and Trite Situations, Says Kate Ca- rew. LITTLE CHANGE IN THE ‘LILY’ Bright Spot in Cast Is Mr. Manners, Who Is a Comedian of Ability and Co-Author with Mrs, de Bathe of the King-Indorsed Offering. — In diagnosing the chronic and inter- mittent Mrs. Langtry It is considered the proper sort of thing to refer grace- fully to the fountain of perpetuar youth and Intimate that sho has staked out an alluvial clatm there. Which means that Mra. Lantry hae not yet taken to nice little starched caps, the crocheting of tidies, and such other pursults as we associate with the hey- day of respectable matronhood. Oh! If she only would! If we could only be spared Mrs. Langtry in “The Crossways," how gladly we would buy Mrs, Langtry's tidies, or her preserves, or her crayon portraits, or anything else in the artistic line that she might fee! moved to prepare for us! Perhaps the King would do something about it 1f we submitted a sufficiently humble petition to him, He {s under- stood to look graciously upon his Ameri- can leges, and In his capacity of Sole Indorser of Foreign Involces to the United States there's nothing to prevent him from indorsing pickles as well ax plays. Heaven forbid that we shou!” ve dis- loyal to His Gracious Majesty, but, honestly, he does tax our docility a trifle when he expects us to it through “The Crossways.” Why “Crossways” I don't know, but a really descriptive title for it would be ‘The Resurrection." It 1s a reopen- Ing of dramatic sepulchres for a genera- tlon—a stalking forth of the gibbering shades of long buried situations and speeches with their grave clothes flut- tering about them. If there were only a Soclety for the Suppression of Dramatic Body-Snatching there would be troub- lous days at the Garrick Theatre. And Mrs, Langtry? Well, It would be impossible to say that she has fallen away “on points.” She hasn't grown too fat or too thin, Her back !s still long and straight and smooth, her hair ly sti) brown and shiny, the fibrous structure of her neck is still coated with tissue which presents a level and agreeable surface. ‘this business of sizing up a real human lady ‘on paints" 1s rather ghastly when you come to think of It, but ‘tls for this that the full-blown Lily transplants herself to our mtdst—for this, and the Royal Indorsement. ‘To pretend thut the Mrs, Langtry of to-day 1s a staggering, searing beauty would be wicked. It 1s credibly reported that in private and at close quarters she {s still as handsome as paint; and her warmest admirers of other days assert that she always looked her worst from across the footlights. Perhaps it is a point with her to neglect the usual devices of stake make-up, but that's where she places herself at a disadvantage. To the eye that searches unfeelingly for ravages it would seem only that Mrs, Langtry’s face has grown longer and more equine. When sho smiles, revealing an acre of upper and lower incisors, one thinks of oats; and the equine suggestion beara out the tmpres- sJon she still gives of having ‘ust been well currycombed after a morning gal- | lop. For the purpose of the play, which she helped to write with her own fair hands, she is a winner clear through, and betrays no shyness when the wicked Baronet exclal “I wonder If God quite knows what he ts doing when he sends such glorious women as you down here!" As an actress—but on that point It ig merciful to be silent, even although the Royal Indorsement was O. K.'d by rederick Gebhardt, who occupied a front seat and applauded loyally. The programme tells you that Mts. Langtry's gowns are the product of a highly advertised Paris gown factory, but If you look for anything to rise up ‘and slap you In the face you will be dia- appointed, Mra, Langtry has outgrown that sort of thing, and her clothes show a tendency to revert to sweet, bread- and-buttery simp! Ot the supporting company, which Is a little above the average quailty deemed necessary by visiting English stars, one member made a very pro- nounced hit. His name Is J. Hartley Manners, and he proved to be a singu- larly fascinating lttle light comedian, St!!l, one couldn't forgive him for having becn Mrs. Langtry's confederate in rifling dramatic graveyards to collect the materials for “The Crossways.” KATE CAREW.

Miss Anna Brown, of No, %38 West One Hundred and Fifty-third atreet, left her home early to-day on a shopping expedition. She boarded a train at the One Hundred and FYfty-fifth street sta- tion of the Sixth avenue “L" road, Around the curve at One Hundred and Tenth street and all the way down- town she hung to a strap. Passengers crowded on until every inch of space in the car was taken. The air was foul nd hot. MVAs whe ‘had decid& to get out at Twenty-third street, she wisely began to make her preparations to leave the train at Thirty-third’street. By dint of pushing and elbowing she got near the door by the time the train stopped at the Twenty-third atreet station, but ghe could get no further through the crowd ‘and when she found that she could not leave the car she became hysterical. First she screamed, time after time, 80 foudly that she was heard on the street. Then she fainted. She did not fall; the crowd was too dense to permit that. She stood uncon- ‘aclous, packed in among the men around her until the guard fought his way through and dragged her to the plat- form of the car. Picking her up in his arms, he rushed her to a bench on the station platform, dropped her on ‘t, rushed back to the train, pulled the bell ‘and was on his way. Mrs, James Bullinger, of No, 123 West One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street, who had noticed Miss Brown's condition, followed her from the train and sum- moned a policeman, who telephoned to New York Hospital for an ambulance. With the ambulance came Dr. Lee. By the use of powerful stimulants he wa: enabled to restore Miss Brown to con- sciousness, only to see her again at- tacked by hysteria, Raved of the ‘Don't crowd so!” “You're hurting me. Please don't crowd 80. It was found necessary to take her to the hospital before the doctor suc- seeded in putting her to, sleep. She was still weak when seen by an Byen- ing World reporter this afternoon, but consented to tell of her experience. “At One hundred and Sixteenth. street every seat in the car was taken. boy ‘in the row I was sitting In was taking up but half a seat.
