MR, HAMMERSTEIN’S HORSE. At Mr. Hammerstein's Victoria roof garden there is ® performance by a horse, in the course of which the highly intelligent animal blows out a light and goes to bed. This performance has been given on Sunday nights @nd the law has taken cognizance of it. The theatrical tan has been arrested charged with violating the § ath ordinance. He alleges in his defense that the act is not an equestrian act, as alleged, but an equine act. ‘That is to say, the horse being alone on the stage and there being no human participation in the performance it is not within the meaning of the law as disturbing the @anctity of the Sabbath. This would seem to be a horse on the police. As ais don’t know when it's half-past 8 neither can a horse appreciate the distinctions of tweedle-dum and tweedle-cdee legislation concerning Sunday morals. He knows nothing about the discrimination between a drink mith and one without a sandwich, nor does he under- stand how a “sacred” concert differs from profane opera. His perceptions are not refined, as are man’s, to the proper appreciation of the delicate moral sense} which can dissever and divide a bair 'twixt north and Borthwest side. So if in his ignorance he chooses to appear on the stage and go through his act can the police interfere tu! prevent him? ‘ MR. CANFIELD'S WINNINGS. Mr. Richard Canfield is reported to have bought £0,000 shares of Reading at 47 some three weeks or so ago which he has since sold at an average price of 57. He has thus cleared about $200,000 by his investment in Jess than a month. Are we wrong in assuming that in taking this flyer in the market the distinguished gambler has merely done on a !arger scale what frequonters of his gambling-house do? Has he not bet on the turn of a card? Reading stock is intrinsically worth no more now than it was at the time of Mr. Canfield’s purchase. The Toad's prospective earnings are no greater. It simply happens, to quote the technical Wall street report, that “the sharp advance was due mainly to covering by @larmed bears, many of whom are said to have gone short of the stock.” That is to say, they “coppered” the ace and lost; Mr. Gantela played it and won. THE NEGRO ON THE STAGE. Is Sambo coming into his own, leaving the cotton fleld ‘md the co’n for the stage? From the negro “features” at the vaudeville houses, from “In Dahomey” and from various dramatic signs and portents of African cast the theatre-goer is led to infer that the negro is on the boards to stay. The decline of negro minstrelsy was a loss to the “American stage.

Rialto jargon {s very peculiar, You must always talk alongside your @ub- Jeot and make your points through in- ference Thus, when you want to call a man a bad actor you must say: ‘I ad- mide Redbarnes because he is good to his mother.’ If the name of an emotion- al or tragic actress whom you do not happen to approve of comes up you say: ‘She kas lovely teeth.’ The old rough way of saying ‘Knightstands je a good actor, but'—has been discarded as unworthy of delicate artiste expres- sion.’ LETTERS, QUESTIONS, ANSWERS, 56,367,178, To the Editor of The Hvening World: What ts the population of Germany?

CAMPING OUT. Timery 4s the warning given by a well-known acto® against the folly of sleeping on the ground to which people who camp out are addicted. Leaving behind them feather leeping-rooms and artificial heat nvailoble for cool summer days, they expose them- selves to the sharp night alr of the open, lying down on the cold bosom of mother earth. They expect to derive im= mene benefit and much vigor from this. Well for them if they do not fall victims to rheumatism and bronchitts. A neral principle to follow ts that the higher above the ground one ps the more healthful will be one’s slum ‘ber. Campers out should allow themselves the luxury of cot beds, or, at all events, ahould aleep in hammocks swung at least six feet above the ground, It 1s the height of absurdity for people accustomed to the artifiolalities of modern Nfe to attempt emulation of moderm fe to attempt emulation of Indian customs. We are ne longer robust, as in the primitive age of the world, when! luxury was yet unimagined. Folly of this kind will make the summer vacation injurious instead of beneficial. 16 BILL ae STRIKER MAN LOOKS THE COIN ENER.
