James McNulty, a workman employed at the Metropolitan Opera-House, {s in the New York Hospital suffering from jthres proken ribs and perhaps a frac- tured skull. There {s a possibility that he may die. ve Who attended him said t heart, moned. ‘The Rev. Father J. F, McNamara, of }the Chuych of the Holy Innocents, in West Thirty-seventh street, soon ar- rived. The crowd quietly made way for him, and the good father knelt by Mc- ‘Nulty. As he began to read the pray- \ ers for the dying there came a burst of song that sounded like the far away The song was ftaint but clear and coulfl jus} be heard ‘above the solemn tones of the priest.

SANTA CLAUS - STORE OPEN EVENINGS UNTIL THESE CHOIR B Sing on a Stage at a Lecture on “Parsifal” Given by Mrs. Rhodes! , Capt. Handy, of the West -forty- seventh street station, in whose “pre- cinct several gambling-houses are paid to have opened for business recently, is very much exercised over the tlag- rant violation of she law committed yesterday at the Lyceum Theatre by Dante! Frohman and Mrs, Helen Rhodes, These two assailants of the Criminal Code actually permitted forty choir boys from Calvary Chureh to sing on the atage of the Lyceum tn th afternoon for the purpose than that, they refused to allow Capt. Handy, four plain-clother men and three agents of the Society for the Pré- vention of Cruelty to Children too on the stage and atop the unparalleled out- Tage. And above all, what makes Capt. Handy particularly gore is the fact that the boys were hidden behind a screen And coull rot be seen from the front of the house. It appears that Mayor Low, who sanctions the licensing of tiny «amins to eell newspapers. refused to «ive \*+! Rhodes @ permit to have the choir boy: sing in public. Hence it appeared to he up to Capt. Handy and the Children's Society people to make some arrests. But they couldn't swear that s choir of Loya were singing because they douldn't see the boys. Capt. Handy was in the Went Side Court to-day looking for advice, which he did nat get. he went to the District-Attorney. He i= determined that the laws forbidding chilfiren to ding in a theatre ghall be respected im his precinot. ee PRAISE FOR JUSTICE MAYER. Lawyers in Co Ret!
