The scene is laid in Rome, in year 1510. under th- pontifical reign of Julius jj (Jufcan d*:ia Rovere. 1441-1513), and the action & -s upon Cardinal Giovanni df Medici's knowl ssf«. obtained at confession, of a rrurder. for wtJca his own brother, an innocent man, convict *4 fey circumstantial evidence, is condemned to «a2er a feMr.'s >ath. • Ite caaraoter cf the Cardinal,— pure, intellectual, BPble. rer-lal, -weet. animated by a lofty spiritual ejnbuion. harboring the most magnificently opulent dKiStts for the glory of the Cnurch. and graced by ample anc: elerant scholarshiu and every virtue that can adorn either pub;i^ station or >>rivate life.— been outlined *i!h exquisite taste and ■Jdll snd in a beautiful spirit.

It is a magnificent dramatic dtuatlon. and JJr. TVillarJ's acting sustains the whole passage upon the loftiest piano of simulative tQMttlß*. The ntIUT great RMMMDta in Mr. Wil lard's performance are those aat the Cardinal's t-c ctaEy of eloquence T.hen dilating on his visions and designs as to the advancement of the Church and the subjugation of "- ■'.

A little whl> agro it was Christmas trees; aow It Is Caleles. The members of the Assembly file-ht profitably follow the injunction of Bun tliorse, to "Me upon the daisies and discourse In 26vel phrases of your complicated state of mind." Int, no: they will only stamp on the daisies, and try to unravel the complications of their minds in the form of laws. What will be left of New-York Mtr.ery If the evergreens are all cut off for Chrlst bbm trees, in epite of the ir.wmakers. and the ealsies are <>s=troy*>d by order of the lawmakers, tad the Palisades are blown down before the law makers can get to work to hold them up. and ths Wagsra River is turned aside to push trolley care la Buffalo, and the lawmakers etill keep on doing ecae things and leaving other things undone? Thus the lawmakers will drive New-Yorkers to <Wnk, and then keep the barrooms closed on Sun *»y, when they have most time to think of their Mrrcwfl. But a!! this ls rettini? aside from daisies.

The uni versity hall will serv*. as tho administration build ing of the exposition, and a library building will be erected for the hall of congresses, -where papers will be read. At the end of the- fair they will ba turned over to the university. Th« committee suggested that the rest of the buildings necessary for the administration work of the exposition should be. grouped in front of the university hall, and that the bulldlncs devoted to education and social economy should be brought Into the 6Cheme, being placed right and left of the central avenue. The report of the Municipal Art Society's committee was accepted, and the execu tive committee of the fair requested the Municipal Art Socijty. through its committee, to develop th« idea of a model city more elaborately.

'.•"' ■ .---.,- THE PASSING THRONG. Many railway companies no-w hare re#r-Jlarly or ganized pension funds, under which employes retire at a stated age npon pensions. RAILWAY "The Chicago and Northwestern PENSION Railway." said George B. Burt, of SYSTEM?. Chicago, at The Imperial Hotel yesterday, "has recently made a change In Its pension plan which I consider an ex cellent one." Mr. Burt is in the accident insurance business, and does a large business among railroad men. "The new rule on the Northwestern." con tinued Mr. Burt. "13 that employes who have been with the road for twenty years are eligible to retire upon a pension. This affects twenty-flvr thousand employes. The rule was formerly thtrty years. This pives a chance for a man to retire at a com paratively fair age. It makes way for younger men and minimizes thp tfrnienoy of m^n to stay in the service until their physical ability ls greatly Impaired." E. J. Radcllffe (not the ac*"ir). formerly of New- York, who w<»nt to California some years asro for his health, is in the city visiting INDIANS Meada\ At the Iranerial Hotel ye?- A 5 terday Mr. Radeliffe talked *>n- I*ABORERS. thusiaMicallv about Southern Cali fornia. He has a large vineyard there. He says the climate is superb, the soil rich and the life interesting. "One drawback," said Mr. Radcliffe. "In operating the vineyards has been labor. The Mexicans ar» a worthless lot to work. Otner classes of labor are scarce. Recently, how ever, many of the vineyard owners have been ex perimenting with Indians as laborers, and the result has been most satisfactory. The Indian Isn't sus ceptlble of a hteh desiee o» mental culture, but he seems to understand the vines, and he works patiently and cheerfully. There seems to be some thin? for the poor Indian to do in this line, even if he has been a failure everywhere else." James P. Reilly. of Kenosha. Wis . who for many years has been In the railway supply business, ■with headauarters tn Chicago, at SIGNALS the Holland House yesterday, com- MADE NO mentingr upon the wreck In the IMPRESSION. Park-aye. tunnel, said: "The offlcials of the Central seem to blame the engineer. So far as reports go. it would seem to be a Just accusation. It appears that the engineer disregarded a normal danger signal, or a signal to slow up and keep a sharp watch: a home signal, which meant to stop com pletely; a torpedo exploding under his engine; the waving of a red lantern by a flagman; the shouts of his own fireman and two lanterns hurled through the cab. It wouli seem that would be enough to stop any one; yet he didn't stop. SomeMmes you cannot account for what a person ordinarily cau tious and trustworthy will do. Some years ago there was an accident on the Chicago and North western Railway. No one was hurt, but the engineer wa3 rjught up on the carpet. He had a good record, extending over several years. It seems that he ran past a normal danger signal, another signal set dead against him, and allowed his train to be de railed. It was just ahead of an open drawbridge. Th<» first slsmal set against him was to warn him that the bridge might be open, and to slow up. The second was to stop, as the bridge was open. The railway company had a derail switch put in for Just such an emergency as an engineer running past both signals. In this way the train would be derailed instead of running Into the water at this point. Mr. Hughltt. president of the railway, asked the engineer if be had seen the signals. The engineer admitted that he had seen both signals. Asked why he didn't stop, he said simply. 'I don't know.' and that was all they could ever get out of him. Of course, he was discharged. He could never explain his action, and no one else could. It would seem that his mind was dormant or leth argic just at that period, and signals made no Im pression on him. This may be a duplicate ca3e." COTTLOW'S RECITAL. Ml«>« Augusta Cottlow Is a young woman with unmistakable gifts as a pianoforte player who grave a recital In Mendelssohn Hall last night. She besran her career as a prodigy, and has been heard from at Intervals during the last ten or twelve ypar*. Her playing last night indicated that with all her natural jrlfts and the excellent training which she has received she ls still wandering rather far afield In respect of the most essential features of pianoforte rlaylngf from the point of view occupied by music lovers to-day. She has thought somewhat too much of her fingers and not enough of her feet; too much of the notes and not enough of the spirit which ought to an. mate them. She possesses the means properly to dis tribute dynamic (and la a leaser degree emottonai) values, but apparently she forgets the need of doing so, because of the Inactivity of her poetic sense. And so her playing, while Inviting respect ful attention, fails to touch the heart or even warm the fancy. 7.V MEMORY OF M'KIXLEY.
