ONE CHARGE

The action of the Indiana Medical College in debarring women from the privileges of tbe institution, has been severely denounced by liberal-minded people, and will not tend to do tbe col lege any good. There have been number of female graduates from tbe institution, none of whom, so far as known, have reflected any discredit upon it. Dr. R. T. Brown, professer of physiology in the college, having fougbt the proposition to exclude women to his utmost, resigned his place in the faculty when he found that he was beaten.

Tbe idea is very generally prevalent that women should bave tbe right to enter any honorable field of labor they may choose, and should suffer no unjust discriminations on account of their sex A number of leading citizens of Indianapolis gave expression to their views on the subject adversely to the action of the college, and four of the five Judges of the Supreme Court united in a card of tbe following tenor: "We believe that women Bhould have every advantage of education that can be afforded them in philosophy, the arts and sciences and literature, and particularly in the science and practice of medicine."

The Mail has always stood up for the rights of the weaker sex and it wishes now to record its protest against the prescriptive and prejudiced action of the Indiana Medical College in turning female students from its doors. It is a step backward—a step in the wrong direction. Whatever men may think of the propriety or impropriety of women entering certain pursuits and professions, it is certainly but common fairness and decency to stand out of the way and give them a fair chance. Then if they fail tbe fault will be theirs and no one will be harmed but themselves. If, on the other hand, they succeed, they have aright to, and everyone ought to rejoioe in their success. Their field has been too narrow—too much hedged in by prejudioe and fanaticism. Qive them a chabce. Open the doors and let them seek such work in tbe world as they feel able and willing to do. Nature will do all the controMlug that is necessary. If a woman undertakes a task for which nature never designed her, that woman will find it out about as soon as anyone. But women ean pradio medicine and are doing it successfully every day. And not only to their own advantage, but to tbe advantage of the community. This particular question is no longer an open one. It is settled by experienoe in favor of woman. What shall we think, then, of tbe medical schools excluding female students from their balls in the face of these facts?

THE city council of Indianapolis refused to allow a citizen of that city the privilege of shooting the English sparrows which he said were injuring bis residence. The council should have granted his petition and been glad of tbe ohance, for the English sparrow is fast becoming a nuisance and a pest in this country, as he has long been in Europe. Bad reports of him come up from all parts of this oountry. He Is a born fighter and clubs together with his fellows to whip all other birds that are not of his household. It is said that these little brown devils bave driven all the snow birds and blue birds and song sparrows out of the Smithsonian grounds at Washington and that fifty kinds of birds that used to visit the Common and Public Garden of New York, bave ceased to do so on their aooount. Before the advent of the sparrow there was a growing tendency among wild birds to domesticate themselves in towns and cities but now the sparrows, staying through tbe winter, have possession of tbe nests in the spring and keep tbe other birds away. The English sparrow has no aong and no beauty and it will be an ungrateful thing to allow him to drive off tbe robin, the blae bird, the wren and all tbe rest of our familiar native birds. In view of bis belioose character and other disagreeable qualities we think the shooting policy cannot be inaugurated any too soon.

THK dollar of our daddies is eoratng we«t as a curiosity. Sheriff Car too had the honor of bringing tbe first one to this city. The eagle on this new silver dollar has been much abused. Tbe Philadelphia Timet says it hss been misunderstood. The cuts in the papers do not do him justice. Tbe Director of tbe Mint told the engraver that he didnt want any more of the gridiron shield business oa tbe national fowl's breast, and he didn't want any mote settling down on the part of the eagle. He wanted the bird oaugbt in the act of going op, and not with spread wings, settling down. Therefore the new eagle was made heroic, and tbe Times says: "The eajfie dwee not look stiff, as on paper.

THE bill parsed by tbe House recently, fixing tbe pay of United States marshals st a maximum of 95,000 per annum and requiring all fees received by them to be turned into tbe treasury, is a step in tbe right direction. A similar reform should be inaugurated in tbe custom bouses, registers' offices,- and other federal appointments, some of which pay larger salaries than the office of President of the United States. There is no good reason why tbe incumbents of these "fat places" should be allowed to suck such enormous incomes from tbe public teat.

REPORTS from the wheat-growing districts of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky indicate a most promising harvest. The acreage sown is the largest for years past, and tbe condition of the crop was never better at this season of tbe year. Advices frotn Illinois, lows, Missouri and other wheat-raising States of tbe West are to the same effect. The fruit prospects so far are also excellent. Nothing could be more encouraging than these excellent prospects of bountiful harvests in every part of the oountry.

DR. EUNTOON, the Chicago medium, who confessed last week that hlsexhibition was a fraud, gives a barrel full of good advice to those seeking communication with spirits of just men made perfect when he ssys: "If persons who go to-consult mediums will take precautions not to allow the mediums to learn their history, and then will take care not to 'give themselves away' while with the mediums, they will receive no such manifestations as have been spoken of."

THE Supreme Court of Louisiana has set aside the verdict of tbe jury convicting Anderson, and ordered tbe discbarge of tbe prisoner. The court says that no criminal offense was committed by Anderson, even if tbe allegations against him are true, tbe forgery of consolidated returns not being of a nature to interfere with tbe regular verdict of the people. This decision will stop prooeedings against the other members of tbe Returning Board. ,' ..1*1 wtiiM'i

AFTER all, tbe proper way to resume wss to resume.

HENRY WARD BEBOHER, in a recent conversation with some friends at Buffalo, said," in answer to the question, "Do you believe in the doctrine of eternal punishment?*' "I do not. I was along time in getting to that point where I oould feel free to say so, but I have reached it. I believe tbat men will carry out this life essentially the dispositions in wbich they die, and will pass into another era, where, after suffering ceases to improve them, they will depart and be annihilated, one part, but such of them as will by further discipline be improved, will be brought back. There is a obange going on in regard to the subject of future punishment not tbat tbe punishment is strioken out, but tbe kind of retribution and the powers of retribution. I believe tbat men are getting more and more to believe tbat Buffering is not to be eternal. I cannot oonpelve of anything that is more preposterous than tbe Continuation of suffering when it has no other end in view

STAGE EXTRAVAGANCE.

THE SPLENDOR OF THE SETTING OP THE PRESENT AND MEA GRENESS OF OLDEN TIMES. I

WHY THE PRICE8 OF ADMISSION TO THEATERS CANNOT BE REDUCED.

Celia Logan, in the last of ber interesting series of articlea in the New York Dispatch, under the bead of "These, Our Actors," says the long-con-tinued bard times which have so depressed and impoverished our whole country, bave brought slowly* but surely marked reduction in the prices of all things, save two—middle class house rents and the admission fees to theaters. These remain the same as in war times but while there is no reason why ren»s should not be abated to suit tbe shrunken purses of the people, there are very good and sufficient reasons why theater prices cannot be lowered, no mstter him devontly such a consummation inky be wished.

Owing to tbe high prices charged for witnessing a performance at our best theaters, the race of the regular "playoer" has become extinct, except as he represented by tbe theatrical critic, whoee facilities for partaking of dramatic amusements are enviable, Inasmuch as he is not only on tbe free list, but is paid to give an account of what transpires on the boards. THE REGULAR PLAYGOER PASSING AWAY.

Playgoing as it used to be in tbe olden time has quite passed away, when a father took his entire family to the theater, not only to see every new piece, but tbe same pieee often night after night, that they might become familiar with its Ibeauties, especially if it were Sbakspeare. In a small city or country town, more particularly in tbe sunny South, a member of a stock company could make a very.good guess, before the curtain rose on a performance, as to what family or party of friends would occupy the boxes and the first two or three rows of the dress circle or parquette.

By constant playgoing the public taste became critical, a higher standard of acting than now wfs prevalent, the. inanimate surroundings of an actor were considered of little or no consequence so long as he was intellectual and artistic, but now the reverse is the rule—the actor is subordinate to the surroundings, and audiences of to-day are cultured and critical only as regards the eyo they are connoisseurs in tables, chairs, carpets, sofa*, dresses and diamonds.

Herein lies tbe main reason why theatrical managers are obliged to keep prices so high that constant theatergoing is a luxury reserved for. the rich, and in the larger cities of the country, theaters are dependent for their support upon tbe floating, and not the resident, population of a place.

EXPENSES OF ACTORS.

In order to meet tbe requirements of stage dressing, actors are paid treble the salary weekly that their predecessors received twenty years a«o. Then cotton velvet, paste, tinfoil and tbe cheapest of materials, were gOod enough for the footlights now, the richest velvet, diamonds of the purest water, and the costliest of foreign importations, must deck your actor and actress, almost those of tbe most interior rank.

Take, for instance, the one item of wigs. In former times, a set of false curls, costing twenty dollars or so, and a white wig, made of coarse horsehair, of tbe same price, to wear, in "Tbe School of Scandal,", was all tbat a leading lady required in tbat way. For men—particularly those piaving "character parts" —this item of wardrobe was more varied and expensive.

Now, wbeu every actress must sppear a blonde—and liht hair is rare and costly—tbe price of a handsome yellow wig averages a hundred dollars. She must bave several of these wigs—one, say, for dress, with long curls, another with short, another with braids or a knot, and one with tbe hair banging loose for mad aoenes. And bow expressionless and insipid tbeee stained locks make women look! When "Led Astray" was running at the Union Square, every lady in tbe piece wore light bair, notwithstanding a blonde is a rare bird in France, where tbe incidents of "Led Astray" occur. Kate Claxton's hair—a deep, sonny red, with eyebrows ana lasbes agreeing—became ber, because all were natural and in harmony with each other, but the rest of the ladies appeared white, and extremely vapid in expression.

IS THE BLONDE MANIA OVER If we may judge by tbe ladies now playing in "Our Bachelors," the reign of tbe blonde would seem to be over—not but tbat light hair is very pretty when nature made it light, as in tbe case of Mrs. A. F. Baker, the "Mrs. Mouser" of tbe pidce. Next comes Miss Maude Granger, wboee soft brown trames look like tbe shining down on tbe chestnut then tbe brilliant blue black bair of

retty Robeon, the. wavy, breesy, curls of handsome Miss Jennie Murdoch—all contrast, though all are dark, lending value to tbe eyes and features, and not ueces«itating tbat amount of "making up" which a yellow wig does. In leaving th* face somewhat as nature designed it to be, our actresses gain youth for ail wigs age tbe countenance.

In the increase of tbe expenses of tbe manager of tbe present over those of the past, advertising, rent, and other out door outlay, need not be considered here, however to pen dons those items may be, ss we are treating the question of indoor expenses only.

For years there had been a gradual Improvement and iccreased richness in tbe oostumes of professionals, and that brought in ita train tbe Improvement of what to known ss the "mounting" or getting op" of plsys, but It took no positive, declared, and lasting ab«po until tbe production of "The Black Crook," at Nibto*s, in 1886.

What cost in France no inordinate expense to pat upon the stage, owing to tbe cheapness of the psy of actors, oostumers, ia. and all materials, scenes, dresses, and In like, being of home •take, when brought serosa the ocean cost a fabulous sum. Beside the expense of transportation, the people employed In tbe piece demanded verj large salaries to oome to foreign oonntry.

It is safe to say tbat tbe Black Crook did away with almost all was sham upon the stage, and made IMdfa et*ndardfor properties and mounting, not alone in

And float away on wine. Mr. Sothern drank beer, but the rest qnaffed the beaded wine.

But a little while ago, if on tbe stage champagne was supposed to be drank, tb? bottles were filled with water, into which something was put wbioh not only sent tbe cork flying out with tbe force and sound of a pistol shot, but tbe frothing liquid iu*hea out like a boiling waterspout—tbe noise resembling an explosion, and people involuntarily ducked their heads for fear they would be blown off. As for real food—fruits, meats, fcc.—even tbe loavea of bread were made of pastebosrd. "WHY IS MACBETH BLIGHTED

An excellent ides may still be bad in the recent improvements made in tbe mere matter or properties by witnessing tbe banquet sccne in "Macbeth."

The gilded goblets and drinking oups are Invariably of pasteboard, and there is never an attempt made to represent fare that a peasant could eat, let alone a royal feast about wbich the usurper of tbe throne makes such a blather, saying so ostentatiously, "Now good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!"

Why, of all Shakspeare's plays, should "Macbeth" be slighted as regards mounting? Whoever saw "Macbeth" —or indeed "Hamlet" splendidly got up? "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Henry V.," "King John," "Antony and Cleopatra," "The Merchant of Venice," "Winter's Tale,"—almost all his plays have been made tbe vehicle for magnificent setting, save and exoept poor "Macbeth." Nevertheless it admits of grand spectacular, scenic and musical effects.

Augustin Daly did more than his share toward putting plays upon tbe stage with an almost unrivaled splendor ana accuracy in costumes and appoint ments. He spared neither pains, time, nor money, to have every detail of a piece absolutely exact. For this reason nis demise as a metropolitan manager is to be deplored. At tbe same time, while the Union Square Theatre remains in the hands of the present manage ment, the public are sure to witness on its stage, all the perfectness and grandeur In mounting, tbat care, attention and profusion of expenditure can command.

THEATRICAL OORQEOirSNESS

Is rapidly increasing instead of dimia ishing. Salaries are not being cut down, for bow could actora live and dress ss they do on old time salaries By actors I refer to the whole profession, females as well as males. If a leading actress receives a weekly salary of |250, think of the costly dresses she must buy for the stage out of tbat sum, to say nothing of being obliged to dress well in day time, and to keep up appearanoes as regards living, goes. What's a hundred dollars for one dress alone nowadays? Fanny Dtvenport thought nothing of paying ten dollars a yard, for a silk or salin.

If, then salaries do not fall, and the suinptuoueness of mounting pieces becomes greater and greater, each manager trying to outdo tbe last grsnd display made by a rival manager—and if the publio will only go to see such exhl bitions as sppeal to the eye and tbe lux urious material tastes of tbe nineteenth century, how can managers reduce the price of sd mission to their theatrea? They ought to. As one of tbe public, I desire that they should, but it is difficult to see how they can and make any money themselves.

This rage for costly tables, cbalrs, sofas, carpets, and other furniture ramifies through almost every department of sbow life.

Tbe yellow satin set of furniture used by tbe San Francisco Minstrels In their opening entertainment cost several thousands,and, judging by tbe diamonds wbich flash from toe fingers and shirt bosoms of tbe dark buea singers, one would tbink a diamond field bad been discovered in their Africa. Tbey are, however, such good singers and such good fellows, too, tbat It would be unkind to call attention to want of trutbfulnesa of attire to the class of men they portray.

Everywhere—iu every eity, prevails this getting up of pieces in a manner tbat would astound old time people really "born In tbe purple," could they now see themselves represented on our stage.

In golden San Francisoo, never far behind our own regal theatres, the publio is getting more and more fastidious. Mr. K. F. Tborne tells me that he lately acted there in a play oalled tbe "Regiment of Champagne," In which there was a obarge of cavalry consisting of not less than twenty horsee. His own borse being desirous of msking a speedy exit, and not need to be trammeled by such barriers in bis way as scenes dashed through a flat representing a wood, and man, beast, and soene came crashing down together.

Tbe cascade soene In "Uncle Tom's Cabin," at Booth's, Is a minature resemblance of tbe falls of Montmorencie, near Quebec, and is an ingenious sdsptatiou of tbe already established cnnvenieucies of tbe bouse wortby of the resourceful genius of Commodore Tooker himself. But "real water" Is hardly novelty in spectacular effects. Many years ago P. T. Barnum advertised "Tbe Falls of Niagara, with real water." at bis Museum, where the Herald office now stauds. He bad a darkey behind the scene pumping up tbe flood as It poured down the cataract into a a "I never saw anything like it In my life," said Lewis Gaylanl Clark, "and I hope tbat I never may again."

Since then tbe use of "real water" has been made more effective, however. The colored light effects upon fountains, so populsr a lew years sinoe, suggested a wide field for spectacular beauties by means of this sgency, sod It to ratter surprising that it has not bees worked better by this time than it hss.
