Tin correspondent whoee communicatton la reuard to a oross-town car line was fainted W week, revived an old question which has freqfucntly been considered. Witii the growth of the city the need for an eat and west }ins north of Washing* ton street has become ^more apparent The service has gpown until nearly every part of the city is provided for i^So far as quick transit 40 the heart of the city is concerned. But there is no provision for those toho want to reach, aay, tUinois and Boventh >irom tiie Massachusetts* avenue railway station. To aooomplish this one must go. down to Washinstoo street, and transfer to another line, some* thing to the'manner of sailors in tacking. North of Seventh, from PennsyJvania street eat, is anotiier territory,which is itttcoessible except by this tackia.g pro* cess, 'llie North Side is more helpl^s than the South Side, as the lines run lets regulsriy north and south. Tfao demand for a cross-town line has grown gredtly since the abandonment of the Seventh
street line ubtmt firs years ago.
There hao-been on immense amonnt 0 butodiog north of Seventh street from Mis* •issjppi ca-Ht to the city limits within three or four years. The people of this part of town have their buiinesa and sociri errands from one end of the North Bide to the other, distinct' from traMc befwttn.np-towB and down-town. This, to heconiing a.city of magnificent distances, sod not every one to able to wal^ a mile or so, nor to it pleasant to ride'down
town aud rig-ug to the desired point.
It bas sometimes been suggested that Michigan street, running tlirough the city without iatermptiqn,' offered the best thoroughfare for a cross town line. We doubt whether it would avail people in Ihe Boventiiwtrect district. Has West End, in which Uichigaii strat is a leading thoroughfare, to pretty well provided for. The Mississippi street, Indiana avenue and BUke-street lines afford adequate eommuuication op and down town. Michigan street to comparatively near to WaahingtOB, and it can be reached, either east or west without opich difficulty. There are, however, few streets which run unbrok* asdy across the ciiy. Seventh street is, perhaps, the best adapted to the purposes 0 a cross town line, but evSn if it were to be used there would wtill remrin a largeterritory to the southward unprovided for. It u to be assumed that the demand for a Hbo across town will grow heBC0orwmrd. But the choice of a street or streets iboald be made srissly, aud the fiasco of
it Ima ia HseU SeveBth street line should aot be
rapeated.

This, llrom a political poibt 0. view, left an element unsatisfied which it was deemed wise polUioa to satiety.

What tho Acquisition of Outlying Do* pendencies Meana
[New York Post.]
The reason why Great Britain haa so many islands and f0eign stations is that she has a great navy. As soon as she ceSses to have a great navy she will lose her islands and foreign stations, and lose her access to the Buez canal. An island ia of no use to any power which can not approach it in time of war. A coaling station ia of no use if the enemy will not let you CO0 at it> The whole apparatus of foreign ialauds, stations and garrisons, in wliieh England rejoices, is a concomitant of the mastery of the sea. Without the mastery of the sea it is of no use wliattver. Whenever we have a navy large enoneh to destroy the navies of two other powers, we can have all the islands we want. Until then we arc perfectly happy without kn island art all. The notion that some other power can “inrround” us 2,(>0(t miles away over the ocean is one against which it is hardiy worth while to argue. If there be any foundation for it, our case is hopeless, for England, France, and Porthgai and Spain “surround’} us only 2,800 miles away, and Japan is looming up dangerously on our right flank. The history of this Hawaiian affair dffhrs a good illn.stmtion of the danger to m of c0onies and dependencies under our present form of government and with our present class 0 public men, Rome fell under the weight of her provinces, with a constitution ten times better fitted than ours for the management of distant conquests, for 4he Bcitate was filled with the ^Icst and most extierienced men of the empire. Rut the Senate was gradually broken down by the intrigues and bribes of the generals and proconsuls. We, at the very outset of our career of annexation, in the very first case of it, start an intrigue m-our own State Ilepartment for the overthrow of a friendly power, allow ffnr minister on the spot to land troops to assist in what was really his jiersohai conquest, annex the islands without ttofirthe ruler in her own defense.

To serve the world raised up— The pure in heart her baptized one, Love, her commnnion-cup. The Passing Year. Are you rich in the years of bright gold Yet untold? Do they Icisarely go.

If a train, moving at the speed of twentyfive miles an bour, were suadeiily stopped, the passengers would experience a shock equal to that of falling from a secont} floor window; at thirty miles an hour they might as well fall from a hight of three pairs of stairs; and an express train would, In point of fact, make them fall from a fourth story. Early in the present year Mr# Martin A, Ryerson, of ChfeaeOf offered to give the University of Chicago $100,000 toward a fund for general equipment, provided $400,COi were raised for the same purpose by July 1. Owing to the buslueaa depression, the condition was noifuiiy complied with. Mr. Ryerson now renews the oflor, oxtend-
ing the time to July L 1894.
There seems to exist some general misconception regarding the natal day of His Majesty the King of Siam, which was supposed to have fallen on September 21, His Majesty, however, was bom on Tuesday, September 20, 1853, but, owing to the anomalistic year of the solar calendar used by the court astrologers being longer, and therefore in advance of the tropical year, the celebration of the King’s birthday falls one day later,—[Bangkok (Siam) Times. Early risers in CM Town last ^nday were favored with the sight 0 a woman riimbing the ladders on, the staging of a chimney, 103 feet bich. whieh haa recently been erected for a mal in that town. The cause of this sudden rise in life is said to be. the result of a wager between the climber, who is a cook in a hotel, and the landlady, that if the would climb to tiie top of the chimney the landlady would cook the dinner for her, which she did.—[Kenne-

which the curtain rises on the body of the dead model, which is allowed to remam during the entire scene? For tnc wife to have discovertil the features of her father on the canvas would have been sufficient. All else in this particular could have been Rurmisetl, or have been drawn from i’arrhasius's lips. It requires no very nice diseenilnent to see that the play is not a trai^edy, but melodrama. Yet, with ail this, be it said there arc some wonderfully poetic lines in the play, which cause a regret that the writer's ability has
been waited in such an effort.
Mr. Mantell identified himself closely with bis part of the artist, and acted with strength and apprbcintiou. The finest part of bis performance was during the few momente of the last act, when Parrhosius is overwhelmed hy discovering who his tnddel was. His profounU emotion was depicted by Mr. Mantell in entire silence, by the power of expression which his mobile face possesses and the meaning he can put into the movemebt of nn arm. Mr. Mantell is too good for this play. His unqueattoned abiltties should find a better medium. The
promise of-his future is bright.
Beautiful scenery with coloring and ■perspective, so good as to bear the test of being placed near the tront of the stage, is nsea in the play. The audience last night was large. Mr, Mantell was twice called before the curtain. At the matinee this afternoon “Moiibars” was given. Tomight “The Face In the Moonlight” will oe the bill.
