Ilemlnlsccnt frequenters of tho theatres may ?rcall the first appearance of the Qnyety Theatre Company at tho Standard some Ave years ago, I I When among Its players wero snch Interesting fi-rfnrmers as t'rod Leslie. Nellie Karren, Marlon Hood, Sylvia t.rey.and Letty I.lnd. They ncteel hero first In " Monte Crlsto," which was never popular, and, despite a vigorous claque, the first night was unmistakably disappointing. Hut i tlirro were momenta of genuine euthuslaam, and tliey cro In every case the result nf the dancing done by Sylvia Oroy or Letty Llnd. Toward ; JJm middle of tho second act Sylvia Orey. who had stool about unnoticed, gave the f Hi-it skirt dance that New York ever B-ivv. huch dancing was completely novel kml literally took the audience by storm. Even tlie mar of the energetic ushers and dead beats Hint made the cinque was lost In the genulno npplaiibenf the audience at the close of tho dance, Letty Llnd created almost as much en thusiasm In the second wene of the act, when. , dressed In a remarkable yellow gown. she danred half In shade and half In the glare of a culriiim. New York talked of these dances for months. i mid they brought tn the company Its r. rlilef success, although later. In Miss ! Esmeralda." wjien Leslie had measured American humor, the entire company appeared to greater advantage. Ietty is still tlanrlng, but Sj Ivla, always her superior In the graceful art, has married and settled In Australia Since that day skirt dancing has swept over this country, the Indecent enhut came from Purls to supplant it, and the calcium of the mechanical . serpentine baa also waxed and waned. Now- there is a promise of more skirt dancing, and It s exponents, who were always superior to their I American imitators, have again begun to come over and whirl their petticoats at us. ttut unfortunately none nf these new fines are equal to their first predeces sors. When the bifurcated skirts and the low-edged ruffle were wutsked over the foot lights by Letty and Hylvla it was done In a way that only the, best of the dancers could do. The art was perfect when New York saw It first. It had davrloped In tondon and was shown to us Jlrstby Its best representatives In Its completest form. It was never so artistic a form of dancing sli tlie best of ballet, for Us limitations per- mlttrd little variety. It was bound to become monotonous, fur It was neverrapahle of express- !lng anything more than ruffled skirts and lift til toes ran. Itut It was churmlng for Its novelty and the skill of lis first performers. Tlie dancers who are at It now are Cissy Fltz Kirald In "A (lalety Olrl" and four jnung Momi-iilti " I,ltt!eChrlstophvrL'olumbuf."l'lsHy lias a line swing and a supple kuee. but she is miles behind the two original ()uiut girls Hint dunccd fur us. She does much that tliey did. tint nut so well, and tho tour dancers at the Garden cling to the same old steps and figures, f, fciid In both cases the lock of novelties Is ex cusable because the style of dancing ad ults of but little arieiy. Cissy Fitzgerald and the others with us now have marled It. however, without Improvement. Cissy drops the steps of the skirt dance, and winds up her performance with an undis , clIwI run-run. wnii.li Is hindered In execution, ' tint nut In spirit, by pettii-onts enough to make J lt'llntlngulshablefromthu gyrations of hi (Inline InUrille d'F.gnutat the Jardln de Paris.

He smiled at once, bat what could bo expected of It ? The plays with figureheads In tht persons of favorite comedians dominate theatricals this week In a way to prove that the play Is not the only thing Important In stage entertainments. Mr. Crane Is acting FdMnff In "The Merry Wives of Windsor" for the last seven limes at the Star. Mr. Mansfield revived "The Scarlet Letter " on Monday at the Herald Square, and Is filling the week with that and other familiar pieces from his repertory. Miss Nethersole has hail a brisk start at t'alraer's In "Tho Trans gressor." Mr. tlnllen and Mr. Hart will close at the HIJou on Saturday with "letter On." Mr. Drew at the Kmplre In " The Ilauble Shop," and Mr. Sothcrnatthe Lyceum In "A Way to Win a Woman." are particularly favored by the women. Miss t'ot at the Casino In "The Little Tnsiper" will havo n. sou vrnlr night oh Thnredny, Mr. Wilson at Abbey's In "The Ilevll's Deputy," and Mr. Hopper In the Itroadwayln "tr. Syn tax," nre ns funny as can he, and so Is Mr. Tow ers at tbe Standard In "The New Hoy." Mr. 01 cott at the Fourteenth street In "The Irish Artist" Is singing tunefully. In the bills that wero changed on Monday the "stars" are Interesting, whether It ln so sound n romantic actor ns Joseph llaworth In "Hose dale" nt the Harlem Opera House, orsoqtirs tinnahle nn exhibit as Steve llrodlo In "On tho Ilowerj"at the Columbus. Joseph Murphy Is dividing tbe week at the Grand Opera House between "The Kerry Oow" and "Hhaun Rhne," plays In which ho is well known as an Irish comedian, little Collins Is leading A vaudeville company at the Hrnoklyn (iratid, hut Is dramatic to the extent of playing the title part In a burletta called " The Devil Ilird." The transfer of jiopular dramas for the week gives "The TIcket-of-Lenvo Men" to Nlblo's, where the Sanfonl company provides a good cast for the play In which the late William J. Florence used to be admired. Brooklyn has sucli fnraillar entertainments as "ThotJIrllLeftllehlnd Mo" at the Amphlon and "Hobln Hood" by the Dostonlans nt the Columbia. That rousing railway play, "A Hide for Life." Is exciting the audiences at the People's. A second week of "InOld Kentucky" Is testing tho durability of the blue-grass racing drama at tho Amrrlran. The continuances In clude "Shenandoah" at the Academy of Muslo, "llumpty Dumpty" nt tho Fifth Avenue. "A Milk White Flngr' at Hovt's, and "A (lalety Olrl" nt Daly's, with "Little Christopher Co lumbus" Just under way at the Harden. Old fashioned negro minstrelsy la Illustrated by Comstook's company at St. James Hall. Some changes were mudo In tho songs and travesties last evening. A new-born leopard is one nf this week's ex hibits nt llngenbeck's, and another object of special Interest Is a snnko that lately hit the young woman who "tames" it. Tho bigger sights are there yet, A Joke that proves very taking with the audi ence Is Included In the specialty nf Felix and Cain In Proctor's continuous show. One sings during most of tho time he Is In sight, while tlie other wanders about tha stage and engages in all sorts of ludicrous capers. During one song a toy houso I, displayed conspicuously, and the funny man enters with a wheelbarrow labelled "The Police Patrol." He looks about In uncer tainty, and then Interrupts his companion to Inquire If this Is West Twenty-fourth street. Ilelng assured by a nod that It Is, ho carries the house off, at which at least every third person In the niidlcnco thinks of Mrs. Ballade. From the Uilmorcs como Jokes of such delicate fibre as this: " I have," says one of the pair, "an arithmetical dog. Yes. when a tramp ap proaches my house, I say, 'Tiger, three and three.' and he sice 'em." Then the other retorts, "That's nothing. I laid mutton chops liefore my dog, said ' Four and four. Hover,' and he ate 'em." James MeAvov Introduces a song In a way that is only serviceable In continuous shows. At his second and third appearances fur the day he says, " I am about to slug an old song, a very old one. as familiar as the faces that have been hero since It) o'clock this morn ing." Dora Wiley, the Shechans, and the " Linger Longer, Lucy," girls aro other well liked Items. Harney Fagan'a faco Is blacker than any of the chocolate-colored youngsters whom he leads In dances nt the Union Square, nnd his Imitations of negro steps are more amusing than those of his colored pupils. Of the latter there are nine, and the specialty in which all engage is much liked. Itaymon Moore is In the olll. too, and, though he has a new ballad called "Dear Louise," he Is still obliged to end his singing with " Sweet .Marie." of which he is the author. John W. Hansonc, the llornnl brothers, and the Clipper Quartet are among many others on the priigramme. .Much of the fun at Pastor's Is contributed by women, three who ore conspicuous In it being Bonnie Thornton and the Misses Melville and Stetson. A rarer specialty is that of Fnlgnro, who makes quick changes of costume In full view of the audience. Joo Cawthorne and Median and Hs niond are among tlie others. At Miner's Howery' are Sara Devere and his companions, among whom aro Oinene and Ola Hay den, the latter a deep-voiced singer who Invites and gains the gallery's assistance in her choruses. Carr and Jordan are a pair whose specialty of singing und burlesque of tragedy Is Invariably taking, nnd who are employed ut Miner's Howery. ith them are Smltn and Campbell, John World, the .Mortons, and thn National Trio. A horw nnd mule circus Is another feature. Change In tho- bill at Koster & Dial's bring forward Sin Hassan Hen All acrobats, Marie Lloyd, nnd threo new living pictures. The first unmed troupe numbers fourteen fellows, ranging from slight boyhood to brawny man hood, and from while to almost black, and In clude, despite the suggestion of Sahara's sands In tlie title, a Japanese uud nt least two Irish men. Their specialty alternated rapid tumbling with the forming of human p)ramlds. Tho former was llku tlie variety show Joker, in that one thing followed another so oulrkly as to make It almost impossible to recoil an Individ ual feat, and the latter reached a climax lu one man supporting eleven of his comrades. The added living pictures were not Hauimerstelu productions. A quartet of the singers who will be heard In Italian and French opera this season will lie heard next Sunday evening lu the Metropolitan Opera Iloue in a miscellaneous programme, selei teil from the works of the great masters. Muie. Melha, Mine. Siulchl, M Maugulere and M, Pol l'lauc,uu will tie tho principal soloists, and the orchestra will bounder the direction of Mr. Anton Seldl.

They met three years ugn, and were to be married last Chrlstmss Day. llr wanted the marriage deferred at the time, but subsequently, aud e en In court yester day, offered himself as her bridegroom. She is about SI years old, and he says he Is 10, She ssys he is L'.'l. She said that one reason why she did not want to uiarry him was that he had told her eeral months agu: "If ou insko me murry you I will break your damn neck when I get hume." The youthful appearance nf Joseph was partly explained b) her counsel, who said that he had sba eil oil his inoustuihe for the purposes ot the l.eah tt stifled I hat Joseph told her a few days after the date set fur the wedding for which she had sent out about one hundred luvltatlons - that he was only having suine fun with her and hod not intended to marry her. Soon after, though, he asked her to marry hliu. Counsel for Docker moved to dismiss the case because his client, by the plnlnlltTs own evi dence, wus willing to lie married. He added that the plaiutlll was engaged to marry Jacob Silverman, who, he said, w us in court aiding her lu the action. , , , , "Are you rugased to Silverman?" asked Jus tice .McCarthy. hho burst into tears and faltered! " No, 1 am not. Ho Is engaged to marry a 16-year-old Kssex street girl." , . .

Hnberts of the Pennsylvania ltallrosd Company, one of the most rouorvstlve of tho representative men who stand for nnd powerfully Influence the great railroad Inter ests of the United Stales, has tieen nskrd to give the public his views on the economln outlook In this country. In the many years he has been nt the head of the Pennsylvania ltallrosd system, which pays out one hundred millions of dollars a year, Mr. Holicrls has so rarely been Inter viewed for publication that what ho ssys now seems entitled to siicclal consideration on that score as well as others, Mr. Hobcrls saldt "The recent panic, which began In lun.t, nnd the naturnt result, an Indus trial depression, which stilt continues, was largely the natural outgrowth of speculation In all kinds of securltlrsrepre'cntlng no rent value. A large mass of railroad securities and of 'In dustrials' equally worthless, had lieen put upon the market, and the financial iilc was the le gitimate result nf the discovery of their worth lessnessj it was at first a banker's panic, rather than a commercial or Industrial one. Its first fruits wero a paralysis of our Industries, from which the manufacturers of the country nre now slowly recovering. I do not liellevo that thcro will be a speedy or radical rebound fmm that depression, but 1 do look for n gradual and general Improvement, which will bo evidenced by an active demand for paying Investments on the part of capitalists. During tho depres sion the money capital nf tho country has been almost valueless. Inasmuch ns It brought Its possessors practically no returns; It will now. t think, be drawn Into active uses, nnd will stim ulate enterprise. In many directions, so that wo may look for greater activity In all branches of tradonnd manufacture). So far as my observa tion goes, there Is already a general return throughout the country to manufacturing activ ity; the manufacturers of iron nro more active now than for a year past. His truethnt prices nre almost down to cost, hut thcro should Ira an Imprnicmcnt In them. Tho relations lietwecn the prosperity of our railroad system nnd the prosperity of manufacturers in general, nnd Iron manufacturers especially, are, of course, cry In timate. " In many Instances. I rrgrct to say, there Is a large amount of fictitious capital In American railways. The older companies, organized be fore the days of simulation, wero built upon a full money value, for tbe securities if sued, but moro recently many railroad enterprlcs havo been engineered by hankers or promoters and stocked or bonded for two or three times tho cost of the property. In their efforts to earn some returns on theso securities tho managers of such companies have actually impaired. If not destroyed, investments made ou sound founda tions in other companies. As a consequence the thoughtful Investor bos como to regard railway securities with distrust. To this cuuo are to be attributed many of the financial full urea In the large railway system of tho country. This condition nf affairs Is extremely difficult to remedy by law, but It would seem that laws could be enacted which would prevent the Issue of stock certificates and bonds not representa tive of actual value. In some Stntcs there are such laws In existence, but they nm either not enforced asthoyshould be.or are not sufficiently general in their operation, nnd no full of cdci'i. Ann practical measure, all such securities as those alluded tn should bo cancelled In reorgan ization, and the capital nf the new company re duced to the actual valuo of tho property. "Itseems. sometimes, as If the true relations of the railroad properties to the public were not generally understood. They lonstituto tho foundation stone of commercial prosperity, anil any tampering with them impairs, nsy threat ens, the destruction of thn whole fabric. Inn country like the United States, a continent of great distances, the lines of transportation bear a most significant relation to the public pros perity. Through their ability to carry poskcii gers promptly and securely from point to point on the vast areas, transfer merchandise from the point of Its production to the best market, handle raw material, and ship finished products, the United States has largely attained Its pres ent exceptional Industrial development. " The railroads, tn their true function, I do not hesltatoto say, represent that interest of nil others which should be the most carefully ?:uarded by proper Ionization : and the mont airly treated by the public. It Is of the utmost Importance that they Is) maintained In good condition, and thus enabled tndlchnrge to thn public those duties which they were chartered to perform, nnd for which thev exist; and this cannot be unless they are permitted to charge fair prices for their services. They must have it in their power to arrange for and agree among themselves In refereiuu to rates. The uppre heiislou that they would charge excesnlie rates is not founded ou fact, nor borne out b past ex perience. There may havo been. In this grout country, with Its thousands of branch lines nnd short roads. Isolated cuos In which excessive rates were charged, but they are uuliuixirtunt and not worthv of serious consideration lu con net tlon with this problem. "The Government of the I'nltcd States hsv Ing taken away from the railway companies the power tn enforce the agrrements miiilu be tween themsehes In reganl to rates, bus to that extent assumed the inniiiigement uf thu roods. It Is therefore tlie duty of llielloverii nient to supplement this leglatntluii b sui li laws as will enable these protiortles to be rightly managed for tlirir own safety nnd the good of the public. As they now are under tlie opera tion of the Inter-State Commerce law they re semble a ship stripped of Its sails, helpless to direct Its own course, and at the mercy of the wave. "I firmly believe that it Is to-day more to the lulerwt of theiuuntr) toeiiuct lawsiouipvlliiig the railway companies tochargea fnlr compeii. tuition, to be regulated by agriemeiit under proper supervision, than tu allow tlie open and violent competition now prevailing over thu great hlghwuysuf the lontinelit. 'I he railway companies, before the passage of tho lliter-Stuto t.'ommen e law, made pools and through them endeavoreil to regulate their rates, 'there lielug no law by which such agreements i ould be en forced, their obnervaure depended entlrelv upon good faith, 'lilts was nut ulna) niittlcleiit. though in gsnernl It availed. Hut this right having been taken uwuy, the rales ure now sub- ect to tlie whims of Hues, in many tases wholly rreiponslble. "It seems, therefore, that a thoughtful iiiiud mut conclude from the results of tlie Inter State Commen c law. In the past two or time years especially, when cummtrcial activities have been curtailed, that In the effort of Con gress to takuawa) from tho transportation in terests nf the country tlie means uf su-tatiiliig fair and reasonable rate, a condition of attain has been brought about fur moro disastrous to the general public than luuld result from auy reasonable law that permitted these companies to make proper agreements tu prevent destruc tive competition."

The managers of tho professional football games In this city will find It necessary to call their players to pretty sharp account, as far as their talk Is concerned. If Ihey expect la dle and people of refinement to visit the Polo grounds. In the game between the New York and Brooklyn clubs the oth er day there was an amount of profan ity, obscenity, nnd general abuse utterly un precedented in the history of first-class sport In this city. There were very few ladies pres ent It Is true, but those who were there and attempted to follow the game had their ears as sailed with such talk that It I not likely that any of thorn will visit the grounds again. The effort of the footliaU managers Is Attracting n great df slot attention, for it is still an open question whether professional football can suc ceed professional baseball In public favor. The game tinder the Association rules was apparent ly now lo most of the apectntots, and they found somn difficulty tu following It nt first. Undoubtedly most of them looked for a game such ns the collrge t tubs put up. The new game Is exciting, despite the fact that tho men are not alloviSil lu usn their hands, but theflrst duly of the managers Is to mnke It linsslblo for lsdtesnnd sch(sillHi), to follow the sisirt with out being shocked hv hearing tlm sort of epi thets which have thus far characterized tho pla)crs. II Is rlntril freely by the officials of Columbia Cullcgn that tho abolition of skirt dancing Is duo entirely to the pressure brought to lsar upon the students by President Uiw, Ncwspa per comment has been very severe upon the students for several years, hut no attention was paid to It nntll this year, whrn the students themselves announced that they had abolished skirt dancing nt their entertainments. The gen eral public, which does not attend roltego en tertainments, tins littln notion ot the extent tn which tho mimicry nf feminine skirt dancers was followed by Columbia College students. A little group, composed of six notable members of tho college, not only became expert dan cers, but mimicked tlie action and voices and manners of women s thoroughly that It was difficult to tell to which or they lielongcd behind tlie footlights. Tho climax was reached two jeors ago, when thu son of n prominent New York banker, wlnt was a Columbia College student, gave an order for n costume which was absolutely femi nine In nil Its details, from tho hose to the dress. Tho flncstllneii was employed, nnd the student's monogra in ami crest wero worked upon every single article of attire. These garments were on exhibition lu n drsssmnker's room ou Fifth avenue for several weeks lieforo tlio youth. In full renal la nnd tialiit nnd powder, gnvo his dunce in public. It was this performance which resulted In a sharp reversal of public opinion upon the matter, and it had the effect of i rush ing out the skirt-dancing crnzo among tho Btiidcnts. Perhaps tho most amusing feature of tho re cent testimonial to the baseball players at tho Itroadway Thcatro was tho extraordinary cm pilosis which everybody put upon thn fact that tho players wero gentlemen. Not only Judge Oil loin, but Do Wolf Hopper, Mr. Ilnrnaby, and Judgo Grady, tho orator of tha evening, luxuri ated in eloquence of their tributes tn the gen tlemanly conduct of tho players. A stranger to baseball would probably have wondered whether tho mnnncrsof the men or their powers on tho ball field were in question, and n look nt tho brawny, rugged, and big-llmbcd athletes, who snt 111 ntense upon the stoe. Inspired the spec tator to wonder exactly what constituted a gen tleman, according tn the opinion nf tho speakers nf the evening. It is but fnir to any that the term "gentleman" was used by tho speakers In n tech nical sense, as applied to liaseiiall particularly, and nut ns applied to tho Baltimore team. There are two kinds of ball plsers. according to tho cranks. Ouo Is n gentleman, and this menns a player who never descends to low or contemptible tricks. Tho other kind nf playing I called, without much elegance, "dirty bail." and among players of this variety nre to bo classed men like Jennings and Mcllrnw of the Haltimnref lull one of whom tried lu put out another player's eyes, while the other almost broko Van Haltren s nose at the Polo grounds and such other conspicuous examples as tlie Drookl)ti baseball player who made it a practice to throw dirt In the eves of a bnsemnn Justus he was about to catch the hall, and the Cleveland player who attacked I'mplre Itetts on tlie dia mond. When a man does not play ball of this character he Is a " gentleman." The plan to merge the Vaudeville Club into tho Opera Club, and to give up the somewhat extraordlnaryevhemo which the farmer club attempted to carry out, Is a bock-down that was expected by well-informed New Yorkers. Tho Vaudeville Club started out on tho theory that they could give an entertainment every night alter the opera, consisting of more or less sensa tional dancing nnd variety "acts." it was ex pected that the most fashionable women in New York society would go there after thu opera, with their husbands or escorts, and stt at the little tables, while, the men smoked nnd drank, until 1 o'clock in tho morning. TltR Sex. at the time, published un editorial in which it called at tention to the fact that self-rt-spectliig mothers w ould nut take their daughters to sucli a species of entertainment, and bitter opposition was aroused atnonit the promoters uf the scheme at tlie view taken by Tit K Si's nt that time. Fur the first twoor three wci-ksntrung pressure was brought to bear uiHintliu wives and mothers of prominence wiclally, und the shuwlng was promising for n short time.
