WALKING ON BROADWAY
SOME OF THE SCENES WHICH ARE
OUT OF THE COMMON.
The Great Parade of Wide Awakes la
1861 -The Atlantic Cable Celebra
tion in 1859-A Parade Two Miles
and a Half Long:, Otfly Part of Which
was Wet by a Tremendous Rain
storm.
New York, Sept. 34. —“What was the
most striking scene veu have seen on
Broadway?” was asked of several old New
Yorkers the other day. Each had looked at
the rapidly shifting panorama to discover
something that the other did not seem to
have noticed. “The most remar kahle scene
lever beheld there," answered one, “was
Stephen A. Douglas, speaking from the bal
cony of the Irving House, at the corner of
Broad way and Chambers streets, in 1854,
just after the passage of the Kansas-Nebras
ka bill. There was the great Republican
torchlight precession, in 1861 in honor of
Abe Lincoln in which ‘Wideawakes' from
every State participated. Those from
Maine were six feet tall. There was a
marked contrast between that gay spectacle
and the gloomy sight, at Lincoln’s funeral.
Never have' buildings lieen so heavily
draped in black as they were t hen. The
parade of the Atlantic Cable celebration in
1859 was another notable scene on Broad
way, and as the crowds moved along they
looked up to see the dome of the City Hall
afire from the illuminations. A procession
two and a half miles long moved along
Broadway at the World’s Fair parade. A
storm came up and swept over part of the
city. Half of the men in line.were drenched
to the skin while the other half of the col
umn escaped without having the dust laid
on their garments. The funeral cortege
that followed the remains of Fanny Parnell
was a weird sight as it moved along Broad
way at night* Then there was the carnival,
which proved a failure. The Hex of the
pageant was a young brewer, who is said to
nave paid $5,000 for the privilege of assum
ing the role as an advertisement of his busi
ness.”
When the speaker had told cf these ami
other scenes, grave and gay, that he had
witnessed on Broadway, another man was
Bsked what was the most notable incident
that he ever saw there. He said:
“It was Lucille Western, walking up the
street and rehearsing her part as she went.
People who did not know her took her to he
crazy, and her violent gesture* and earnest
mutterings were well calculated to create
that impression. You would lie surprised
to note the number of persons who talk to
themselves ’as they walk along Broadway.
They are as oblivious to their surround
ings and as much alone as if they were in a
forest.”
The student of Broadway walked up the !
street one forenoon last week looking for
striking modern scenes. The sidewalks have
never been so blockaded with boxes ami
bales and the ever welcome rural visitors.
The latter are mentioned advisedly. You
can tell a stranger to New York by the slow
and confused manner that he makes his way
along the street. Your New Yorker keeps
to the right and goes with a rush, slipping
in an out of the crowds with skill born of
experience. A stranger will take the wrong
sifle of the walk, stop to look in ut a win
dow and imped' > > progress of a thousand
hurrying pedestrians. Owing to one of these
blockades the student turned out into the
street. A truck loaded with barrels of Prus
sian bine had been mixed up in a blockade
there and a barrel of the powder scattered
on the street. The student trod on it and
frescoed his boots a gaudy blue. A few
blocks farther ou a boy carrying a paper of
red load was encountered, tie let it drop
on the sidewalk and some of the stuff dec
orated the student's boots, which were thus
given a truly startling effect. He stopjied
to have his lioots cleaned at a stand kept by
an Italian who wore a ca; with a tortoise
sbc-11 forepiece, a head covering, by the way,
that certain Italian dudes greatly crave.
The Italian had polished one boot, when he
looker) up, saw people running in all direc- j
tious and followed their example. A dog j
supposed to he mad was dashing along the j
street. The student weuj away from there, j
Miraculously enough, n ]h>l iceman manag 'd j
to shoot the dog at the second shot and '
peace was restored. The student filially got
his other shoe polished and continued his
march. The ruins of a lug toy store on the
north side of the street that recently burned
with loss of life are being removed. In
front of this place stood 200 Lallan women
and children. The women wore the awn
ing-like head covering of their native cos
tuine, and great gold hoops or pendants in
their ears. When the workmen would
throw a piece of charred wood or a halt
burned bundle ot paiier on the street, the
women and children would rush forward
and scramble for the prize. They com
pletely blockaded the sidewalk. One wom
an, who was carrying a big bundle of
charred wood on her head, collided with a
pian. and her bundle toppled back w ards and
struck the student on the feet, ruining the
l)lisii on his hoots and causing him to hop
about with agony.
When he had recovered from the acci
dent the student continued his march. There
is one house on busy Broadwav, lx*ween the
Battery and Union square. It hud stead
fastly resisted the encroachments of com
merce. Great stone pillars extend from
foundation to roof of the tall stone man
sion. It is said that its blinds are always
closed, and, although it is occupied, it looks
deserted and grim. The student walked on
mile alter mile until he passed One Hun
dred and Tvvouty-eignth street. Then he be
gan to enter the strangest part cf Broad
way. Quuint old tumble-down buddings
flank it. grass is growing in the interstice*
between the flagging of the sidewalk, great
ti-ees that were planted by the Dutch are
seen nere and there, au,d at one point an old
board fence Is built entirely across the
street. The student stopped at this fence,
turned back and took a train for home.
Night came on and at midnight he visited
that portion of Broadway between Grand
and Twelfth streets. The crowds that
hi. 5 blockaded the sidewalks were gone. At
1 o'clock only a jsjlioeinan or an occasional
straggler was abroad. Suddenly a putter of
feet was heard and two men came l ushing
along and swept on toward Union square.
A policeman pursued and arrested ihein.
They tried to explain why they were run
ning, but he would not believ e them. Not
until they hail readied the station house
were they able to prove the honesty of
their iutentions and thus gain release. They
had made a wager to run a foot race up
Broadway, from the City Hall to Union
square, aiid were engaged in the contest
when arrested.

Mrs. Langtry nude her annual reappear
ance in New York oil Monday in n drama
tization of one of the most skillful and
brilliant of recent novels. The man who has
not read “As in a Looking Glass" lias a lug
piece i*f good fortune awaiting him. It is
u book of such amazing force in character
drawing and dramatic climaxes that it
lends itself readily to stage adaptation.
Every man at all connected with the dra
matic profession hail it go at the book, and
plays founded on the novel were so thick a
month ugo that Mrs. longtry said she
could scarcely see across tile street
for them. A great number w ore submitted
to her —1 know personally five enthusiasts
who Inin their wares belum the Lily—ami
she finally selected one. It is one of the
worst so tar written, and I s|s<sk without
bias, for I uni u shining and unique excep
tion to tlie rule and did lint attempt to put
the euterl.lining novel in stage form.
The first nigtit of “As in a 1/xikiug
Glass’-' was nuuio Ute event of tbs season Iy
C'3e of those queer and mysterious ilerce*
that govern New York life. A w<*ik leone
the event ever} testy fell to talking at suit
tie pfisiuiitou, ami os the time apposcue-l
•h 1 iUsnaiel lor veals Is’aine rabid Hod
lefi voq. Mig pi le** were poll All euorin
oils sudden* i. was present Among Uie tasi
] pie were languid and aesthetically dressed
1 women without hats and without escorts,
1 who drawled monotonously' into each
| other's ears and convinced the spectators at
| a glance that they were authors of hooks
i that were never read and writers of plays
I that were never played. They sneered at
j the Langtry from tiie moment she stepied
lon the stage. Their versions of ‘LAs in a
| Isxikiiig Glass” had evidently been rejected.
It was a big crowd, but society was not
j there. I was amused at the statement that
I “the boxes were filled with the leaders of
! New York society” which appeared in a
I morning paper. ‘All the papers mentioned
1 the fact that fashion ami society beamed
; from the boxes. In sober truth there was
; rather a droll and extraordinary lot of peo
j pie in the boxes. One party consisted, of
| Edward Stokes, who was tried for murder,
; and John Stetson, who is in the pawn
i brokerage business. Another was Billy
| Conner, the horseman and hotel keeper, and
J some ladies; a third was presided over by a
j doctor of unpleasant eminence; a fourth
! made up of that clever woman, Georgie
: Drew, and her friends, while a man named
I Gilsey, and a public entertainer known as
Marshall Wilder made up the sum total of
the “leaders ef New York society” who
greeted the Lily. She never had much of a
hold among the best people here, and it has
been growing feebler as years passed on.
The play is very similar to the version
now being presented in London by Mrs.
Bernard Beere. It sticks to the novel close
ly and makes the heroine, “Lena Despard,
lin adventureress of desperate wickedness.
In the version now being presented at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre the men make the
hits. Mr. Barrymore and Mr. Robert Hil
liard make a notably handsome and striking
puir. To the surprise of everyone Mr. Hil
liard took the honors away from the older
actor. The women of me company are
wretchedly inadequate and floppy. They
are, without exception, the least attractive
looking collection I ever saw, and they are
painfully lacking in abiliiy. Mrs. Langtry
lias surrounded herself with women who
are plain in feature and who cannot act.
Bhe hopes to shine by contrast. She does—
as far as looks go.
“Lena Despard” is supposed to he a
shrewd, tactful, brilliant, scheming and
clever adventuress. Mrs. Langtry plays the
character with about as much delicacy, pol
ish and skill as an amiable cow might he ex
pected to bring to the practice or portrait
liainting or porcelain. She is a painful and
sincere failure, and the conviction is forced
upon the public and the critic* that what
ever this handsome woman does well is the
result of elaborate and indefatigable tutor
ing. The characters that have bie i drilled
and dunned into her she plays well. In es
saying anew character without having been
t aught for months by some su- h master of his
art as Charles Coghlan she falls to the stilted
and awkward level of a raw but conceited
amateur. At present Mrs. Langtry’s comedy
is nervous, her pathos painfully absurd and
her efforts at emotional acting silly, stilted
and bizarre. Blakely Haul.
EADS’S SHIP RAILROAD.
The Company to be Organized Under
the Laws of the State of New York.
From the Sew York Sun.
Pittsburg, Sept. 21.—The Hon. A. G.
Tehuantepec. Railroad Company will soon
Cochran, of St. Louis, said to-dav that the
Ead’s take out a charter under the laws of the
State of New York, in order to carry the
project into operation. He added to a
Times reporter:
“We have found an act of the New York
G neral Assembly that will exactly fit our
nesds. It allows of the organization of
companies to do business in foreign coun
tries, and gives just such privileges as we
have contemplated asking from Congress in
the shape ot a Congress charter. Better
than this, it imposes no tax beyond an as
sessment upon tlie property we may hold in
tie State. This will practically make our
United State taxes nominal. The law also
requires that a majority of the corporators
shall bo residents of New York, but this is
n* onerous prescription, as we have stock
h'filers resident of that State already, and
it will not he difficult to get all we need for
the purposes of securing our certificates.
“Wo shall probably organize u construc
tion company as soon as the details of the
first charter shall have Is'en completed and
the necessity for this secondary step arises.
The members of tho organization are very
much in earnest in their determination to
prosecute the enterprise, anil 1 look to see it
(1 me in a very short time. There will he
little if any difficulty encountered in pro
curing the money, as it is no longer re
gardod as a chimera or a physical impossi
bility. We have within our membership
very largn means anil resources, and there
will ha no delay on this account. The
reasons for delay thus far have been an
inability to procure a charter, hnt now that
this obstacle has been overcome we shall go
briskly to work.
“Once the charter and the financial ar-
rangoments shall have been arranged, we
are ready to begin. Cant. Eads' maximum
time for completing tne work was four
years, but he frequently said it could be
done in three years. AH the plans, the
profiles, the designs for the machinery were
completed in the lifetime of Capt. Eads,
which fact involves a saving of much time.
“This is precisely the status of things.
There is to lie no let up in the efforts to
make the thing a fact, and tho end of this
decade, I think, will see the work pretty
well advanced. Pittsburg capitalists apposi
te think well of the enterprise, and have
invested liberally.”

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1887.
THE SALVATION ARMY.
ITS EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH
AND STRENGTH IN ENGLAND.
Gen. Booth and Hie Wife Control
$2,000,000 Worth of Property The
Recruits Largely From the Working
Classes.
From the Chicago News.
London, Sept 6,—The Salvation Army is
very strong in England. It is surprising to
see how many recruits Gen. Booth has made
since the establishment of his peculiar form
of religion. With us the Salvationists have
never made much headway, hut in England
they are strong and are each year growing
in power and riches. It is a forrii of religion
that makes an especial appeal to the people in
the streets. The people xvtio walks the streets
of London are fond of noise and excitement.
The Salvation Army, therefore, attracts
them. Gen. Booth, who is at the head of
the army, is to-day a very rich man. The
collections made by him through his various
divisions of this army have been invested
from time to time in real estate property in
London. lam told by those who know that,
tlie General and his wife control property to
the amount of $2,000,000. Throughout
London there are numerous .Salvation Army
barracks. These barracks are always iu
comfortable buildings, where the army ]h'o
ple appear to have no difficulty in raising
the money to pay their rent and for the
comfortable maintenance of their quarters.
The army’s recruits are largely from the
working classes. There is no doubt that the
life of a Salvation Army man is becoming
very attractive to the average workingman.
In toe first place the army now provides
solid, comfortable clothing for its recruits,
heavy shoes, and a place of abode. Instead
of performing hard manual labor the recruit
wears a comfortable uniform and has noth
ing much to do except march about and
harangue his fellow-creatures. As the
English are fond of talking, and equally en
joy street parades and spectacles, it natur
ally follows that the army, lieing able to
pay and clothe its recruits comfortably,
steadily gains in strength in spite of the
ridicule which is heaped upon it.
In a number of instances leaders of the
army have been arrested during the last
two or three months for obstructing the
streets where they meet, but 1 have noticed
that whenever arrests have been made such
arrests have Is'en regarded by the masses in
the nature of persecutions, and the result
has been to increase the popularity and the
strength of the army. The newer growth
of the army is chiefly in the, provinces and
the rural villages of England. The repre
sentatives of the Established Church of
England never miss an opportunity to rle
nounee the leaders of the Salvation Army as
fanatics, blasphemers of holy things, and
men whose principles are dangerous to the
morals of society. The result has been that
this position of the Church of England
towards these wandering street preachers
has had the effect of strengthening them by
bringing to their support the very strong dis
senting element which exists throughout the
provinces. I should not be at all surprised
if the organization of the Salvation Army
should in the end comproaiise and take in
the greater part of the dissenters. The dis
senters know no way to make their opjxis,-
tion to the Church of England more clear
than by associating themselves with the Sal
vation Army crowd, which iu the minds of
the Church of England people represents
everything sensational, coarse, vulgar and
unrefined, while the Church of England Ls
supposed to represent the very height and
zenith of respectability.
The noisy, energetic, never-wearying Sal
vation Army people are producing a decided
change of opinion throughout the rural
towns. The army leaders have no re
spect for established precedents and have
no reverence for church institutions, and at
tack with savage ardor the Church of Eng
land as a State institution, and continually
din into the cars of their listeners arguments
against the Established Church. I ,ast Sun
day I was in the little v#lage of Whir well,
in Hampshire, not quite two hours’ride from
London. This is a village of perhaps 400 or
500 inhabitants. The houses were nearly all
thatched cottages. I found in this simple,
quiet, rural place nearly every villager was
a furious dissenter and an active member of
the Salvation Army. I heard everywhere
arguments against the church. Said one
stalwart cottager: “Why should one tenth
of our tax rates go to one church? If wo
must give up one-tenth to religion, why
should not it be divided among all of the
churches? Why should not the dissenters
have their share ?” As the Church of England
is a political institution this movement of
the Salvation Army has a political signifi
cance not to bo underestimated. The latter’s
arguments anil methods are best calculated
to affect the minds of the uneducated ixeople
of England who are not to be reached by
ordinary means. The working uneducated
classes of England are dissatisfied with the
present order of things. They are beginning
to think and to ask questions why they
should submit to this or that form of in
justice.
The Salvation Army people are sending
out delegates all through Europe. 1 read
in a French newspaper tho other day an ac
count of the growth of this organization,
and from it I learned that they are reaching
out into Russia, Norway and Sweden, and
throughout all the principal Continental
countries. It is an organization which is
certain to have u great influence in Eu-
ropean affairs. Wherever it goes it preaches
equality, freedom of thought, and, while it
is not openly an opponent of existing mon
archical governments, the effect of its teach
ings leads in that direction. The govern
ments of Europe are closely allied to some
one of the orthodox churches, and against
these orthodox churches the Salvation
Array leaders make constant war. They
are now sending out delegates to India. I
have noticed in the streets for a number of
weeks companies of Salvation Array people
wearing East India dress ns the most strik
ing means of showing to the people of Lon
don what they are about to do. With us
the Salvation Army could never make any
headway. There is too much freedom.
They can only thrive in the face of opposi
tion, something to overcome. Hero they
are most resolute, most furiously in ear
nest, and they therefore meet with wonder
ful success in point of numbers
of recruits gained' and in material
prosperity. They appear to have no diffi
culty in finding any amount of money.
Their newspaper hero, the War Cry, lias a
large circulation. It is a well edited and
well-printed paper. It will compare very
favorably with the best religious weeklies.
Home idea of the strength of the army in
England may ha gathered from the fact
that Gen. Booth has on his rolls to-day
5.210 officers. It was only a few davs ago
that the reunion of the array forcedfn Lou
don at the Alexandra J'alace brought out
a parade of 11,000 people. This organiza
tion is enthusiastic, irrepressible and
fanatically devoted to the orders
of their chief, Gen. Booth. His
power over bis followers is so
great that if he should feel called upon at
any time to give them mi order to arm
themselves to attack by violence anv of the
Government offices. I feel certain that the
majority of his soidiers would face certain
death to carry out Ids orders. It is a strange
organization. It is hard to urderstand ita
success, but its hold ii|s>n common people of
the European eounti'io is growing day by
day. It is one of the indent element* in tin*
giowth of a Kiiiojienn democracy of the
future where monarchical institutions have
so long reigned supreme.

MR. WALL SETTLES MR. OTTER.
The King-of the DudesNotthe Biggest
Idiot on Earth.
From the Washimjton Herald.
Some months ago Wall became the agent
of a cliamjiagne house, and in the way of
business called on Mr. Otter, the manager
of the five hotels of tho Stewart estate, to
solicit an order. “I wish you would order
ten cases,” saiil Berry, “for the (trend
Union. I will guarantee that it will be all
sold before the end of the season, and if it
is not all sold what remains will bo taken
hack. I and my many Saratoga friends
will prove good customers.”
“May I ask who you are, sir?” quoth the
hotel man. “I do not remember to have
seen you in Saratoga.” This was a vicious
stab to Berry, who has been a famous figure
in Saratoga for ten years.
“I am Mr. Wall,” he replied, “Mr. E.
Berry Wall. And permit me to ask your
exact name, as I do not remember to have
ever seen you in my life in Saratoga or any
where else!”
“My name is John M. Otter, and I don’t
know anything about you or your cham
pagne: I will call my steward and ask him.”
The steward was summoned, and, in reply
to his chief, said that the wine in question
was the vilest compound ever thrust upon
a credulous and long-suffering public.
“Good morning, Mr. What’s-your name,”
said tho hotel man, w ith a smile.
“I’m very particular to whom I say good
morning,” calmly replied Berry; “but would
you mind glancing at this note?” Mr. Otter
did so. It was a brief note of instruction
from Judge Hilton to Mr Otter, instructing
him to give Mr. A Vail an order for ten cases
of his champagne. Of course, the order
was given, as Mr. Otter is only a steward
under the Judge. Berry booked it imper
turbably, and said as lie" walked away: “I’ll
include you in my list of particularities and
say ’Good morning, Mr. —er —er —what did
you say your name was?”
