2 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. Amos J. Cummings. 11. 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.” HARD RUNS ON THE TRACK. Result of the Racing at Prospect Park and Louisville.

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. T. C. t'HAWKono.

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?” GROCERIES AND LIQUORS. k Baps GbO TO D.
