K Rumor had It yesterday that John I.

H "The World" has shown more than a
p! plenty of reasons why the Oovernor
HT' ahould remove District-Attorney Fel-
B, lows. The Constitution of the State
H lives the Governor the power to remove
H ,. the objectionable Colonel. The Governor
H , alights his duty as State Executive If he
H does not act now.
H -f Chicago's police force evidently had
H 5 retty near a "100" of Its own. But It
H rf wasn't a gilt-edged clique. On the con-
H 1 trary, over three hundred men of the
H ,x number have been marked for dismissal,
H '; and more may folloiv. Reform takes
M rapidly In the Windy City. The only
H : question Is an to the endurance of Its

H , dare against consohaatlon do so against

K ion to believe that his assailant straight-

THE JAPANESE J-OOLER. 1
It has been a long time since there
hns appeared on tlin stage of the In
ternational Variety Show no Interesting
nnd succcisful a Juggler ns Jnpan. With
Btrength and dexterity entirely unex
pected" she has tooted Into the nlr
armlet, finite, fortresses and nailed
cltlet, playing with them as toys. Brit
ish Interests and Russian Interests,
Trench Inttresls nnd German Interests,
not to spenk 01 Chinese Interests, are
being bandied about llko rubber balls.
Next thing we shall probably have a
gieat transformation act, the Chlneso
l.mplre, or at least, the Chinese d nasty,
dropped Into a hat and a Japanese prln- '
clpallty pulled out, or something of thut
tort.
All of which Is very Interesting to nn
Impartial and disinterested snectator.
which, happily, the United Stntrs still
Is. Thero might bo less fun In the show
for us If Japan should accept Mr.
Gresham'n offer, nnd Amerlcnn Interests
thus become participant In the perform
ance. Watching Juggling and being Juggled
with aro entirely different things.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
The Ltxow Ccmmlttee wss to have re
sumed Its etssions next Monday. But
Mr. Guff Is "In a very nervous and ex
hausted condition," according to his as
sociate counsel's statement, and so the
reassembling Is put off until Dec. 1. In
deed, Mr. OolT sajs It was his under
standing that the Senators generally
did not .desire, to rtsumt, befors that
'date.' .
It" must roV be forgot te it-that ,Ke real
object of the Committee's Investigation
was to purify the Police Department, not
to lnlluuirri politics. This work hns not
yet been done The Committee has ac
complished much. Its diligence and suc
cis hove bet-n remarkable. Hut It has
dune nothing as ct tu substantiate Its
charges that the Ik ads of the Depart
ment are Implicated In and mainly re
sponsible for Its corruptions.
The guilt of a few captains and of some
subordinates hns seemed ho clearly es
I iHbllshed by tin- evidence obtained
through the Committee's efforts as to
cause the Indictment of the ulleged of
fender. by" the Grand Jury But the
exposure of the higher olllcers of the
Depaitment premised by the Commit
tee has not yet been made.
It Is to be hoped that the Reconler
olect will tic reaily to continue his ixcel
lent work on Dec. 1, nnd tint no further
delay In the "hlcjher" work of the Com
mittee will le neci'mnry.
A QUICK CHANCERY CASE.
It Is generally conceded that a man
who tills tho highly respectable otllce of
.lulge of the Couit of Chancery has be
fore him a veiy comfortable, peaceful,
easy-going life. There Is something pe
culiarly quiet and lalm In the general
Idea of a Chancery Court, to say nothing
of the usually paclhc, unrunied cli .rac
ier of a Judicial otllce of any kind, out
side u l'ollco Court.
"Hut lirere nre "Chancery" Courts and
Chancery Courts, and It will not do for
n non-combatant to hold the ofllce In
Tenneseo and Imagine he Is going to
live a quiet life, even If he Is permitted
to live at all. Here Is a Chancery Judge
In Nashville, Allison hy name, shot dead
In the corridor of tho Court-Iluusn by
the clerk and master of tho court,
w horn he had discharged In order to give
the place to his own ton The assassin
then turned ils revolver upon himself.
Indicting two wounds that will provt
fatal.
When told that tho Judge was dead
the wounded murderer cxpresod his
satisfaction with his work. Ho had
won his suit. Hut It was over quicker
tlun Is supposed to bo tho espeilence
In most chancery cases.
FOLLOW THE FIGURES.
If the .iprsons Interested In finding out
Just what was done by tho Park
Commission with the one million dollar
relief fund last Winter will follow "The
I.vtnlng World " flguies patiently and
closely, they will be lewarded by accom
plishing what they desire.
Tor Instance, the will nnd among thtr
pavments published vesterday two
i vouchers for ll.AKl pnld to James Demp.
I soy for "drilling boles" In rocks. To
(Sink fojirtuen bundled dolhus In thoso
holes was not tilling up holes In the
stomachs of starving men, nnd It Is nut
probable that Dempsey waa ilther out of
work or In want of food.
Of course. In stating the amount paid
out for labor, theie Is nothing at present
to show where the laoor tickets went,
nor whether the laborers bad purchused
them of ward heelers But all this will
come In good time, and It will not be
"The Uvenlng World's" fault If every
fact connected with the mi-approprl itlon
and dishonest use of this great charity
fund Is not cleurly set foith before the
end Is reuched
AN 6D STORY.
How Is It that persons will do Insaneh
dangerous and unnecessarily reckless
cts despite the dally experience of the
sufferings, miseries and frequently deaths
they cause'.'
Here Is a joung man who took a re
turned gun Into Cdpt. Jones's fire-arms
store In Sing S,ng esterd.y. The rule
of the store Is that all arms must be re
turned unloiJed When the lad nho re
turned this particular gun win asked If
It was unloaded ho preceded to piove
that It was bv cocking It anJ pulling the
trigger, lie was mistaken, however, .tnl
the load was llrel d lectly Into a keg l.'
powder An explosion follovvcj, which
blew the lad and the sliopmtu tliioiiRh
aback window, fortunatUj without fat il
Injury, and seriously wounded some
workmen In the rear of the stor.
The explosion was follow el by a lire
which destroyed the building.
A TALE OF A HAT.
There havo been times In a theatre
when an audience bus shouted "nt,"
anJ moie times whtr. they have felt In
clined to utter that expressive woiJ
But a real live rat running untuck In
a private box during a performance,
then darting up the drapery into the
diess circle, causing the women to Jump
I on to seats and giving the occupants of
, the parquet an opportunity to study
the latest fashions In hosiery, causes a
decided sensation In a dramatic repre
sentation. 8uch a visitor at the Park Theatre, In
Brooklyn, last nlfht, nearly occasioned
klj -'Im':'"..' '" U...VN---,t,.JJ"'
a panic In the house, and, for a time,
effectually put a stop to the trials and
temptations of "Madeline; or, The Magic
Kiss." In vain the manager persuaded,
ths fiddlers fiddled, and the flutists
fluted. Hvery woman In the house. In
gallery, dress circle, private boxes and
orchestra chairs was certain that that
particular rat was at that particular
moment making Itself too familiar with
her hosiery, and n chorus of shrieks and
screcchlngs rang all over the aulltorlum
and was echoed by some of the females
of the company from behind the scenes
At last a man who deserves to be
presented with a house, an asvlum or
a monument, as a public benefactor,
had the presenco of mind to shout that
tho rat was dead, and to hold up an
old brown glove, Into which he had
stuffed a handkerchief, In proof of his
nssi-rtlon. That quieted the panic, tho
ladles blushlncly ri sumed their seats,
the dlsplny of bright colors and clocks
ceased, and the performance was re
sumed It Is proper to say that the rat had
not been killed. It still lives, having
made Its escape by some way known
only to rats.
Dunraven denies that he Is building
a new yacht for a Cup challenger, and
the Secretary of the Roval Yacht Squad
ron declares that everything Is In a
state of uncertainty regarding lnter
ri itlon.il yacht racing for next year.
This Is not us It should be. Englund
and America have had two successful
yacht-racing seasons, full of Interest
nnd excitement for the people of both
nations. Such seasons not only furnish
Inspiring sport, but give an Impetus to
the noblo trade of boat-building. The
competition should not be allowed to
lapse.
Dr. Doty reports small-pox under con
trol In the city. In another column of
the same paper contnlnlng his report ta
the story of a colored man, suffering
from the disease In mallgnnnt form,
who walked Into n police station to give
himself up for treatment, after walking
through no one knew how many streets.
This Is not icassiirlng However, It Is
probably true that the chief nest of small
pox hns been located and practically
cleansed, and vaccination has been so
general in the c.ty within ths last eight
or nine months that there need bo no
fear of an epidemic.
The movement towards securing a bet
ter Rxclse law, ns regards Sunday sales,
from the new Legislature, is ono to be
distinctly encouraged, though not to the
extent of advocating the Sunday opening
of saloons without further conditions
thnn the drawing down of shutters nnd
locking the front dour There nre time
limitations and other conditions that
may well bp observed. The present law
Invltut jvaHlon and encourages black
mail. No statutory reform can be com
plete that does not change 't.
It Is but little more than a year ngo
that LI Ilnng Chang, Viceroy and
.Muster of China, said. "I will tell you
what I am going to send. I nm going
to send over there (to the United States)
a fleet to teach the American pcoplo
how to respect China." LI Hung has
scraped a further acquaintance with
several facts, since that utterance,
through the pressing offices ot the Japanese.

"the nnowNiEs."
The elaborate production now at the
fourteenth Street Theatre Is designed
for the delectation of the little people
of our community, too frequently for
gotten by amusement-seeking adults. It
Is the Young Person the horribly greedy,
complacent, prudish Young Person who
gets the benefit of managerial money
and brains. It Is therefore a plea-ure to
announce 'hat "The Brownies" will ap
peal very fervently and almost exclusive
ly to the children and to all sorts and
conditions of sympathetic mommera.
, "The Brownies" Is perhaps less amus
ing nnd spontaneous than the extrava
gan7as that have been offered by the
Llllputlans, but It Is very gorgeous and
glittering and creditable, and what Is
. denied to the Intellect Is lavished thickly
upon tho eye. The little elfish creatures
might havo been presented more weirdly
and more poetically, for they do not
quite satisfy the Imagination, but the
children may not notice this defect, and
as they get so little, they will undoubt
ally accept this production gleefully. It
Is only with nn effort that the adult
can see these burlesquers as Brownies.
They might be members of an ordinary
extravagnnza company say Corlnno's
organization, for InstanceIf It were not
for their make-up.
The scenic effects and "surprises," how
ever, are very handsome The Talace
Courtyard of Queen Tltanla In FeaUl
Attire, the open sea with the Brownies
ndrlft, the irnchanted Island of Dragon
fel, with an Exterior View of Dragonfel's
Castlei the Jewelled Nuns of Dragonfel.
and the last scene, showing tho blossom
ing of the .Moon Flower, are delightful
pictures, and quite equal to anything
New York has seen lately. The costumes
are extremely bright and pretty, nnd
some of Malcolm Douglas's music In the
first act la certainly superior to some of
the wishy-washy stuff that has been
served up to us lately under the cloak of
comic opera.
Then "The Brownies" is Just long
enough. There are three acts, and they
do not drug. Tho performance moves
along briskly, nnd It Is over before you
know It. This Is well, even for the
children, who lubor under tho delu
sion that they could enjoy sixteen acts.
Success Is tho art of leaving off early
no, Oscar Wilde hasn't said It and
"The Brownies" will achieve It. Tho
cast Is rather weak, but nobody v. Ill
bother much about that. Its best mem
bers were Charley Drew and Ida Mulle.
Miss Mulle looks llko a dainty llttlo
plcturo, nnd slng3 fairly well. "Tho
Brownies" will probably be very useful
for tho festive season that Is rapidly
un'iroachlng. ALLAN DALU.

lie then dwelt at length upon the advantages of
that country, and by easy stages dropped Into a
comparison of the police of Texas and those of
New York, taking .are to extol the lexani.
"Well, they'd hare to be pretty turn coppers,"
eald the clerk, "if they couldn't c'xe the dufleri

and a licking."
"Why, are the New York police so tad as
that? ' asked the Superintendent,
"lladt Why, that's no name for tt. You Just

"Hut the Superintendent Is said to te a cleTer

' Why, Superintendent, I dl 1 not I niw joit were
