The Chatswortli horrcr on the Toledo^ Peoria & Western Railroad, which occured last fall, was one of the worst on record and called down the severest de-

corn pany. There is one thing to be said in the latter's favor, however. It has pursued an honorable course in settling with the victims and their relatives. The company has paid *ut something over $300,000 in sottling these claims nearly all of which have been satisfactorily adjusted. That, is a good deal better record than some much more pretentious roads have made in similar cases.

General Tottf^Browne, of this State, proposes to introduce a Republican tariff bill of his own in Congress at au early day which will certain articles to the freo list and reduce the tariff duties on others so as to dispose of the troublesome surplus without destroying the principle of protection. That will be well, but wfyy didn't Mr. Browne think to do tho same thing at the last session? The question of disposing of the surplus was thou present just as it is now and an effort by tho Republicans would have been^jertipfiH^ andktiiue,^. ThoRe^ilblicans missed a great opportunity in tho Fiftieth Congress.

A Chicago court has decided that a physician cannot be deprived of his license to practice his profession simply because he has advertised his business. It seems like a sensible ruling. Why should doctors any more than lawyers or others having special skill in any calling, be prohibited from announcing the fact to the world? If by years of study, experiment and practice anyone has acquired exceptional fitness for the treatment of disease it would seem that the interests of humanity would be bettor served by having the fact known than by conoeallug it. Has not the prejudice against medical advertising outlived its day?

It doesn't cost so dreadful much to buy all the tin pans, dippers and other like utensils a family needs in the course of a year, but it is going Jto oost considerably more from now on than it has heretofore, by reason of the "corner"' which a foreign syndicate has formed on the tin market. And thU is the exasperating thing about it that every body should have to pay tribute to these bloodsuckers who are enriched at the expense of the whole world of consumers simply because their banded power enables them to control the tin production of Australia and England. There is plenty of tin ore In this country but it is yet undeveloped. The time is now favorable for the smelting and manufacture of the metal in the United States and it is probable that capitalists will turn their attention to the sutject._

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

Frank Mayo, with perhaps ttie strongest company he has ever brought here, gave us his "Royal Guard" on Monday afternoon and evohing, and "Nordeck" on Tuesday evening. Mr. Mayo has added to his repertoire a fine character in D'Artagnan, tbo ftoyal Guard. He is in all his roles an admirable actor, combining great dramatic force and noble manliness with gentleness of manner. His methods are easy and graceful, with great reserve power, which he uses with the greatest effect in the impassioned climaxes.

Miss Alice Fischer, who is stlil his leading lady, came here with a severe cold eontrac'ted at Peoria. It was noticeable in her presentation of Lady De Winter on the first{evening, bnt itdid not prevent her many warm friends from discerning the rapid progress she had made within the past year in her chosen profession. In person a woman of regal dignity, a powerful voice under full control, perfectly »t ease in stage movements and with facial expression tlie most telling, she fills to the fullest tho personations to which she has been assigned, and of which she has the truest conception. Her hoarseness was such that she could barely speak above a whisper on Tuesday evening, but this was sufficiently removed to allow her to play at Indianapolis on Thursday evening. Her inception here both on and off the Btage was of the warmest character, and during her stay she was presented with a valuable gold watch by admiring friends.

The "Ivy Leaf," familiar to most of our show^goiug people will be presented, to-night, it is by all odds' the cleanost and most characteristic Irist^-filay that has been placed upon the boards in this country. It is a drama of jnore than ordinary artistic excellence, whether we look at it from literary or dramatic, standpoint. Its elaborate scenic and mechanical effucts, its incidental music a?^d its steady flow erf true dramatic situations entitle it to sQmething of the old-time indorsement, like that known before the legitimate stage had become a variety show. The eagle'ncrag, the leap for life and the ivy tower are effects that cannot fail to pt^se and tho amusernont goers .fliouid -welcome.

There are certain dramas that irtstAin their hold upon the popular taste yea£ after year, and of that cUs« the "Lights o'London" is the most striking example. It will be presented again at Naylor's Wednesday evening, and the manager may count on an enthusiastic audience to applaud, weep and laugh by turns at the many exciting incidents of this ever popular play. The Cleveland Leader says it is given by a much stronger act ing company than last season.

Mr. J. B. Polk and company will appear in "Mixed Pickles" Thursdayevening. The Louisville Timos says: In this prodction the drama of laughter has been Bolved with more complete success and by more legitimate, natural and justifiable methods than in any production offered here this winter. The comedy is almost entirely that of incident, the piece being crowded with funny situations, yet there is an ingenious and skillfully woven story which enlists the attention and sustains the interest. Above all, it is wholesome, fresh and appetizing. It is frivolity, but healthful, and delightful, that which will relax the grave and refined, as well as the less sensitive. Polk is an admirable comedian of the very .best school, and plays Joe Pickle with a dash and life seldom seen in the younger generation of actors.

Of course everybody is going to John R. Hager's "Swell Affair," on Friday evening. It will begiven under the stage management of Edwin Osmond, an actor of considerable ability, who will introduce much new "business'" and improvements. The stage settings will be superb. Mr. Hager has rem deled the second act, writing a new waltz song, and in many ways made it more effective. The cast is as follows: Hustler •. Mr. Edwin Osmond Rndolph Adolph Gagg Boots John K. Hager General Allyn Adams Commodore Chas. Peddle Serjeant Ed- Pattareon Murine Gabe Davis Helen Miss liattie Paige IjiKett Mrs. John R. Hager Matilda Mrs. Jennie Dlggs B-wtrice Mrs. Edwin Osmond

In the first presentation last March, Geo. Mahare was "Hustler," Will Mor"Rudolph,'" John B. Aikman "General,". Adolph Gagg "Marine" and Mrs. Will Morgan "Beatrice."

Tho Peoria Saturday Gall tells that the onoe gay and debonair Jack Haverly has st last reached the end of his string. He is now runningalittle obscure gambling joint in St. Paul. He has hardly a dollar to his name, and not a^ewel, not a single stone of his once magnificent collection. He has a small minstrel show which is now running under his name1 in the South, playing at one night stands and returning the manager about |B0 a week when business is good and notliing at all when it is indifferent.

played in this city last week under the name of "The Gormans' Spectacular Minstrels*'j and gave a very good performance. But Jack Haverly himself is oat of luck, money, friends and everything else. All have been lost by his inveterate gambling. tine of the few honestly funny men in the minstrel business is the lath-like Bob Slavin. Poor fellow 1 He is now nearly dead with consumption. His fun is spontaneous—it has a natural fizz and never gives one the sensation that the taste of stale beer sometimes produces. One night when Bob came on to do his turn, among his first visits to this city, thS'laudience, not overly large, was extremely cold. Bob couldn't get a smile. He went on with his droll monologue, and still that icy audience sat smileless. During a pause at the end of a particularly rattling piece of funniment one of the folding chairs shut up with a bang. "What's that?" Bob asked with a start. "Am I knocking 'em off the chairs already?"

There may have been a time, perhaps, whep the pallid lily was the type of female beauty. It is not so* to-day. On thestage the most charming actresses are women of robust health.

Mrs. Langtry is the best matinee attraction on the stage, so managers say, because she is attractive to women as we!), as to men. She is a famous walker and an accomplished athlete.

Two generations have raged over the beauty of Rose Coghlan. She is not pretty, but she has the vigor of rude health.

Fanny Davenport was always fascinating, and is still a great favorite. As Lady Gny^ Spanker she will catch her Dol'lyr in a rapturous embrace and swing him three times around her, his feet noAreV touching the floor.

Great surprise is often expressed that actresses are able to preserve their health and beauty in view of the terrible strain of their exacting duties upon physical and mental force.

The really great actresses in emotional parts are those who utterly abandon theft* own.personality in the assumption of the character portrayed. The strain thai they Undergo is ono that few, outsid*of. tho profession, can understand.

Adftm Forepaugh has engaged the Eugena^rother*, of Paris, the most daring

themrst time in this country early in April. They receive f1000 a week. Boncicault is writing anew play for Scanlan. It will be ready in February.

Billy Emerson wants to get out of burnt cork. He aspires operatically. Emma Abbott, it is said, has just put $60,000 into Denver real estate.

.4 NEW CRAZE.

New York girls have been seized by a new craze. It is the collectionpf strands of hair from the heads of their gentlemen acquaintances. Just now the mania is confined to a .Jew society girls, but it appears to bespreading rapidly. One lovely young lady has secured over one hundred specimens. They are, of course, of various colors, ranging from fiery rod and yellow to bine black and silvery gray. She has arranged tbem in a large and handsome blank book covered with the finest monkey skin and silver mounted in monogram, in a very attractive manner. Each lock is tied with adelicate lavender ribbon, neatly sewed to the page, underneath which is the autograph of the gentleman from whose head the hair was taken. One seen recently was a very unique collection, and the young lady had shown considerable astistic taste in displaying her hirsnte treasures.

People wishing conundrums for winter evening consumption might try their hand at this one, Rhot by a woman at Senator Blair, the woman suffragist: "If men are not capable of managing the affairs of State according to the best and purest ideas of the race, that is, of both men and women, what proper and adequate share of the world's work can they preform? What is their natural place in the order of society? Are they mere hewers of wood and drawer* of water? They cannot bear and rear citizens, and if they also cannot govern them with wisdon and justice when they are produced ready made to their hands, what, then, is the reason for their beinlc.
