SCHWAB DENOUNCES LINGO. .Toilet, 111., Nov. 18.—Yesterday Michael Schwab said to Fire Marsha! Kronser, with whom he is acquainted and who visited him at the prison shortly after bis arrival: “Lingg was the scalawag who did it all. Spies would not have been executed if the bombs had not been found in Lingg’s cell. Why, that miserable rat asked tor pencil and paper to write some deviltry on only five minutes before he died. It’s a mystery to me how he managed to conceal that fulminating cap about him with which he took hi; life.” Being asked in German what he thought Lingg intended to do with the bombs, Schwab replied: “l think he was going to explode them among the jail officials and others who would lie present at the execu tion and murder as niauv as he could, re- ; gardless of the consequences to hunself. j The actions of this wretch were what pre- | vented commutation for poor Spies. Ido ' not think the police or jail officials had any- ! thing to do with the bomb found in Lingg’s ! cell, and do not kiiow how he got possession of them.” REV. HUGH O. PENTECOST WROUGHT UP. Newark, N. J., Nov. IS. —Rev. Hngh O. Pentecost, the defeated candidate for Mayor of this city on the Labor ticket, preached a sermon to-night before a dense crowd in the Belleville Avenue Congregational church on “Four Men Murdered in Chicago—Wt at Does It Signify!” He claimed that Friday's hanging was unjust, and unchristian and brutalizing. The men, he said, were right, and real Anarchists were officials of monopolies and capitalists. He asserted that unless some change is made in society whereby the |Korer classes will be relieved of oppression there will be a revolution. When the next labor troubles occur in Chicago, he said, there will tie more Anarchists to hang. FLORIDA’S CAPITAL. Some Additional Facte About the Railroad Rate Fight. Tallahassee, Fla.. Nov. 18.— Now that all the railroads of Florida have been heard by the Railroad Commission the status of affaii-s is as follows: The commission has published standard rates of passenger and freight tariffs to go into effect Dec. 1. These rates allow 3c. per mile for passengers and make considerable reduction in existing freight rates. A classification of freights is also published. Notice was given that these rates would be enforced after Dec. 1 next, unless cause were shown why certain roads or certain articles of traffic should not come under the general rule of standard rates. The rates published by the commission are not maxi mum rates, nor are they fixed permanently, but form a basis from which reductions or advances can be made in individual cases for cause snown. Each road in the State was assigned a day in which to be heard, and nearly all ap }ieared at the specified time. In one case the passenger rates were satisfactory, but advances in freight rates were asked for, while with one other road the freight rates are satisfactory, but complaint is made of the reduction of passenger fares. Asa rule, however, the roads of the State insist most strenuously for an advance in all rates. WHAT THE ROADS WANT. The railroads stated their case about as follows: The volume of business is sosmall that no suite -n e ; ur i can be had even at the present rates. They clai a that the popu lation of Florida is so sparse and the people chiefly engaged in agricultural pursuits that the local passe l-, v isiuess is wholly inadequte to pay the necessary expense of transporting it. Florida can have no through business, because it is a terminal State, and while all travel and traffic coming into or going out of it pa-ses over roads of other States, the reads of the State have no business passing over them from points on one side to points on the other, because there is no territory south of Florida for traffic. All th; winter travel that Florid enjoys is shared also by other States before Florida is reached, while Flor ida gets none ol the business that is enjoyed, locally or transitorily, by Georgia, Ala bama, or any adjacent State. In other words, the traffic of Florida is exclusively local and necessarily small. The roads of the State are owned by men in other sections, and if the property is pre vented from making a revenue that can in some degree approximate the necessary run ning expenses these men will lose their in vestments and the l oads will go to decay, which will discourage outlays in Florida and check immigration. The future has already been discounted in these invest ments, and if further inductions are forced serious and permanent losses will result. Florida’s railroad mileage. Florida has by far more miles of railroad to the population than any .State in the Union, and nearly all the territory in the State is sharply competitive in the point of railroad business; hence the rates now are as low as they can be made to meet actual expenses. Ta > railroad officials say the lands granted by the State to the roads are yielding very little revenue, being in nearly every instance wholly insufficient to pav interest on the bonded obligations for which the lands are pledged. Asa rule 4 -e. per mile for passengers is asked for, anil considerable advances on standard freight rates, as published by the commission. S veral producer and others who take issue with the road i insist on reductions, both in passeng rs and freights, for the fol lowing reasons: The reduction of passenger fares will encourage local travel and induce visitors and immigrants to come to Florida because travel be tween local points in the State will be about as in other States. Second, because the people haVe given up the lands of the State to the roads and should have some re turn. Tlmd, liecause in the absence of a sufficient volume of travel to make due re turns those who do travel should not bo charged more than the service is reasonably worth solely to make up the deficit. Fourth, the service rendered and not un fortunate investments should be considered in making reasonable rat *. The commission has all the data and other information before it, and will give decis ions in all cases at an early day. The rules wiien made will be flexible, and can be changed for cause shown by either the rail roads or their patrons. It is likely that manv and mutual changes and concessions will be made before the system of rates will be made permanent. A RUNAWAY HORSE. Life and Limb Imperiled Just After Church at Athens. Athens, Ga., Nov. 18.—This city was the scene of a great deal of excitement just as the churches were letting out this morning. One of the horses hitched to Capt. G. H. Yancey’s carriage got his foot in the wheel of Dr. Canuck's rockaway. and commenced rearing and kicking. The driver uuhitcho 1 the animal from the carriage to get his foot out of the wheel, but as soon as the horse was free he jerked loose from the driver and ran down the street at, n lightning speed. As he reached the Methodist Church the congregation was just coining out. Ashe passed the crossing on Hancock avenue he ran against Miss Bessie Durham, knocking her several yards. When picked up tiie youpg lady was in an unconscious condition. She wus taken to a neighboring house ami medical aid summoned. In a little while she was restored to consciousness and moved to her borne on Prince avenue. The hoi-se continued in his wild run until he reached Milledge uvenue, when he stumbled over some large rocks and broke his leg. Attached by the Sheriff. Whioham. Ga., Nov. 13.—The property of W. ('. Jones was attached by the Sheriff last night. A perfect specific—Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. CHARLESTON'S POLITICS. Indignation Aroused Over the Munici pal Ticket Put in the Field. | Charleston, Nov. 13.—The gala week ; and all its glories have been forgotten, swallowed up, swamped in the sea of in dignation that has swept over the business community at least, at the municipal ticket that was put in the field by the Democratic , Nominating Conventiou on Friday. The Democrats of Charleston have swallowed manyj bitter doses by reason of their alle giance to'the party, but it is doubtful if this ticket will go down. The ticket has already appeared in the telegraphic columns of the Morning News. It is a very fair ticket os far as it goes, but it goes too far. At least t at is the opinion of tho best element in the community. The nationality of the ticket has already been published. As far as the occupations of the Aldermanic candidates are concerned the following statistics may lie in teresting. There are two merchants, four clerks, four auctioneers, three railroad men, one banker, one doctor, one plumber, one florist, two wharf owners and five miscella neous candidates. Out of the six school commissioners nominated three are railroad clerks, one a telegraph operator, one a drug gist and the sixth is Mayor Courtenay. One of the evidences of the dissatisfaction that prevails in the community is to 1* found in the result of the registration yesterday. Four years ago the first day’s registra ion resulted in the proportion of about fifteen whites to one black. In yesterday s regis tration the figures have been reversed. This is due to the dissatisfaction with the ticket. The white voters who do not belong to the machine say they are so disgusted with the ticket that they decline even to qualify themselves for voting, and the negroes having been previously advised to register have flocked to the polls. It is not at all improbable that un independent ticket will be put in the field, and this would perhaps be a good thing, as it might force the whites to come out and register. There seems to be no objections to Capt. Bryan, the nominee for Mayor. The dis satisfaction is with the Aldermanie ticket, and should another be put in the field it is not at all improbable that there may boa break in the Democratic ranks. where the responsibility belongs. The responsibility for the out put of the convention is charged by many upon the Young Men's Democratic Club. The Morning News correspondent, in an inter view with an old politician, had this iuea impressed mion him very forcibly. “I’ll tell you,” he said, “how it came about. Heretofore the machine lias lieen strong in the conventions, but it has had a whole some respect for the solid element, in the party, and made very liberal concessions. The formation of the Young Men’s Demo cratic Club, witich apparently had a big backing, but which, as was shown by the primaries, was really weak, frightened the politicians. They saw, or thought they saw, power slipping out of their hands. The Young Men's Democratic Club undertook to organize ward clubs, and this sett led it. The politi cians at once combined, united their forces and at the primaries elected a majority of the delegates The convention was literally in their own hands, and by combining they elected their own ticket, making no con cessions whatever.” The gentleman alluded to is a shrewd observer, and he is not far wrong in his diagnosis of the situation. No one can tell what will be the outcome. The Democrats of Charleston are noted for their loyalty to the party, but they have never yet been called upon to swallow the dose that is offered them now. It maybe that there will be some resignations from the ticket and a compromise, but there is nothing at present to indicate this. Unless the white pwopie rally and register on Mon day and Tuesday the negroes wifi have the election in their own hands. GERMAN AND AMERICAN ACTORS Points of Difference Between Theatres in This Country and Germany. New York, Nov. 12.—A few days ago I had a long talk with Mr. Gustave Amberg, manager of the Thalia Theatre, and therein lie explained to me the difference between theatres m this country and all that pertains to them and those of th German empire. The system of managing theatres in Ger many is entirely different from that in this country. German audiences are mostly regular subscribers and are known under the title of abonuement. Inasmuch as they see the same company nightly throughout the season, they demand a considerable change in the programme. There are no travelling companies in Germany, but each company is connected with one theatre, where it remains throughout the season. This demands from the German actors a versatility which is not at ail required from their American counterparts. A German actor or actress frequently plays in tragedy one night, comedy or farce the next, anil possibly light opera on the third night. In other words, a German actor or actress must tie an all-around fierformer. Possibly that is tho reason why few Germans actors rise to the same degree of excellence in their profession as English or American actors. The necessity for ap]ie&riug in so many and entirely different parts prevents superiority in any one. The theatres in Germany aro partly sup ported by the government. The manager gets the theatre- from the government rent free, and the government also pays a certain amount for the boxes which it takes itself. The position of manager is therefore a semi : official one. He has to pass a civil service examination. He is practically assured of a good thing if he gets the position, inas much as the people will subscribe for a sea son liefore they nave learned what they arc going to see. His trouble comes, however, when he displeases those who have given him his opporiunity. He has to deposit in advance, as security to his actors, their salaries for four weeks. Sunday night is the most profitable of all the week. The appearance of the Crown Prince or any other member of the royal family at a Berlin theatre has the same effect, Mr. Ainberg savs, as the appearance of Presi dent Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland has in this country. The result is that the theatre is packed with persons more desirous of gazing upon the noble visitors than upon the performers. If the munager does not suit the Stadt-Itatb, or Board of Aldermen, of a city, they remove him without explana tion. A law in Germany which it would be well to have in this country also, inas much as it prevents overcrowding or ruin ous competition, is to the effect that there shall not be more thau one theatre to a certain number of the population. Mr. Amlierg was not certn n as to the exact number, but he thought there was a theatre for every 5,000 inhabitants. Only two Auteric m companies have with in the past five years attempted to win favor from German audiences. These were Edwin Booth and Daly’s Company. Inasmuch as traveling stars are almost unknown things in Germany, it was rather difficult for Booth, at first, to get along. He triumphed finally, however, by engaging a German stock company ro support him. German audiences went into raptures over Ameri can genius, and wherever he went crowded houses met him. Daly’s Company played during the sum mer season at the Wanner Theatre, in Ber lin. His ventura was not a success, the main cause of the failure being that his company was performing an English trans lation of a German play which had bran niuchc hanged in translating, and, while the adaptation presented some points that were familiar to the German audiences, it puzzled them to understand the virtue of the changes. One of the greatest successes of English speaking actors in Germany was that of the members of a Mikado company, who went from there to London. The performances were all given in Berliu ami Vienna, and were supported by the Crown Prince of Germany. The social position of the actor or actress in Germany is much different from that of the same in this country. A German star, whose ability commands at tention, is invited into society for the amusement which he gives to his noble en THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, NOVEMBER H, 1887. i tertainers. Never does the invitation ex ! tend beyond the star’s own pei-sonality, and ; however pretty may he an actor’s wife, she ! is compelled to remain at home while her j husband is being entertained at the castle of ! some noble patron. The actresses are in ! great part looked uiion as the playthings of the youthful nobility. “Every night,” says Manager Amberg, “after a performance, the streets in the neighborhood of the theatre aro filled with private carriages, anil no sooner do the actresses make their appearance than some courtly gentleman steps forward, bows po litely to liis particular fair one, and they are rapidly whired away over the lpavements.” Manager Amberg says that this is one reason why it is practically impossible, with out offering very great inducements, to j bring to this c untry any of the leading actresses of Germany. The present which they receive in such great plenty from their German admirers they cannot hope to ob tain in tins country, and they are loath to surrender them. In his recent trip ho spent the entire sum mer collecting a stock company for the Thalia. “To engage an actor in Germany,” he said, “I have to pay his expenses here and return, and every one two months’ salary in advance. I must also engage them for the entire season, so that if after the engage ment I find I cannot use certain ones of those 1 have engaged, I am compelled to stand the entire loss. The many changes of costume which have made Mr. Robert Hilliard famous and won for him the title of the King of Dudes would in Germany attract but little atten tion. If these noted actors or actresses should wear the same costume two days in succession it would give rise to Unfavorable comment. It would then be considered that either they were too parsimonious to pay the proper attention to their ilress or that their income was not sufficient to meet their demands; either of which opinions would be likely to be fatal to their success. When they come to this country, there being no necessity for such an extravagant • mtlay in the matter of dress, they manage to sa e money. Upon the whole, Mr. Amberg thinks that the American actors hav sevei al advan tages over the German; they can devote themselves to special lines of acting anil command a market f they are successful: their incomes are larger proportionately and they can be more independent. They suffer, however, in the comparison in that, the Ger man actor, once being engaged,is certain of his income for the season, whereas the Amer ican actor is never certain when he may be stranded. John Hoe. SUBJECTS OF PCPULAR COMMENT. Some Points About Irving as "Mephis topheles.” New York, Nov. 12. —Two theatrical events engross attention. One is Potter, the other is Irving. Mrs. Potter’s furor is social, Mr. Irving’s is artistic. Both have met with a measure of public disappoint ment from entirely different causes. Mrs. l’utter is a charming woman, intelligent, re fined and a social pet. There is only one obstacle to her success; she cannot act" She can only recite. Mr. Irving is a master of stage business: a man with a lofty ideal, a deep personal pride in his profession and a strong in dividuality, but he cannot play “Mephis topheles” and he opened here in “Faust.” Discounting all the merit of stage work— and certainly “Faust” was never mounted as he has mounted it—the fact remains that his “Mepbisto” disappointed his American audience. It just happened, to be inhuman where it should have been superhuman. It turned out to be mincing where it should have been masterly. It gave banter instead of cynicism. It stood on its toes and pranced where it should have awed with the awful mystery of evil. But the spectators were fascinated with the diablerie of the surroundings. Scene was heaped upon scene; picture melted into picture. Phantasmal lights played over it from beginning to end, and infernal music issued from subterranean depths continu ally. The uncanny side of it was made ob vious. The intellectual side was vague. In spite of this opening season of enter tainment there is a general feeling of social uneasiness observable. The great issues of life and action are deeper and more operative than the euter tainments of life. While a select circle is asking itself if Mrs. Potter will make half a million out of Van ity Fair, the great public is asking with anx iety what will be the outcome in Chicago. I hear this discussed in the hotels, in the cafes, in the parlors. If one were to ask me what the general feeling of this community is with regard to that matter, I should have to reply that so far as I am able to gather it from all classes, it is that anarchy and all pertaining to it should be stamped out ruth lessly. Society uttering its own safeguards in the breat hof the people who are fathers and mothers or who nave them—cries “away with them.” Out of all the false sympathy and morbid pity for dynamiters, I do not hear anybody stand up and say that one of the noblest, bravest, most hero'c spectacles of the cen tury was furnished by the squad of Chicago police, who, when their ranks were torn by the exploding bomb, formed and inarched over their dead companions to the defense of law and order. But I think there is a quiet admiration of that matchless civic triumph in all men’s hearts, from Penobscot to Pensacola. It is a curious commentary on tho condi tion of society to hear men in dress coats at the Metropolitan Opera House, in the la;-se nt Wagner’s music, and at the Star Theatre, between the acts of “Faust,” discussing the situation in Chicago. But that is w-hat you encounter. There is everywhere in this community a deep-seated feeling that the issue is one between fiendish violence and civic cowardice, and people are beginning to ask wliat protection have we if law fails us. I was standing in the Hoffman House on the night of the election. The returns, after one of the hottest and most vitupera tive local campaigns I have ever seen, were coming in. I beard one man sav: “What’s public sentiment got to do with law?” And another answered immediately: “Nothing, except that it makes law as well os-eiiforces it.” They were talking about Chicago. The Brooklyn infernal machine, which up to this time remains a mystery, recalls the story which 1 heard in one of the clubs that Jay Gould had been frightened out of the country by threatening letters. I don't take much stock in this story, but I do hap pen to know that most of the wealthy and conspicuous men in New York are subject to this annoyance. One of the best known and liberal of our millionaires showed me a letter that he re ceived about a week ago. It was anony mous, but its threatening tones were curi ous. “You are none of vou safe,” it said, “from our tools. We walk as a thief in the night, but we are guided by vengeance against the men who are grinding us into the earth.” “My sin,” said the recipient of this letter, “is that I am wealthy; und the worst of it is that 1 am, to a certain extent, in danger of being the victim of some monomaniacul ruffian, whose life is worthless to the com munity, but whose punishment would raise a howl of sickening sentiment.” Nym Crinkle. Uncontrollable Flames. St. Petek, Minn., Nov. IS.—The largest fire which ever occurred here broke out in the bairn of the Northwestern Hotel last night. The wind was strong from the southwest, and just right to Are the north half of the city. Everything was so dry that the flames were uncontrollable. Thirty buildings are gone, including two hotels, the First Nutional Bank, several large stores and the American Express office. The loss is fully SIOO,OOO. One-third of the business portion of the city is destroyed. The United States Circuit Court in Boston has decided that a man may import his coachman, since the prohibitory law does not apply to con tracts for personal service POLITICS AND THE STAGE. Mr. Irving’s Production of “Fanst” Highly Commended. New York, Nov. 12.—There wa° a mighty struggle between poli tics and the stage in the hearts of New York ers on Monday night. It ended in a sort of compromise, and the majority of the first nighters went to see Irving’s “Faust” in the early part of the evening and talked politics the Vest of the night. The tendency of the average American citizen to stand around on the eve of election with his hands in his pockets, his hat over his eyes and a large and r> irpulent cigar protruding from the corner of his mouth is just as pronounced in New York as it is in a back county village. It needed something very powerful in the way of a theatrical attraction to penetrate the din of political strife. Mr. Irving’s produc tion of “Faust” was the attraction that knocked politics higher than a kite. The performance was best summed up by an ex perienced and popular Justice of the Su preme Court, who has been a devoted thea tre-goer all his life. He said at Delmonico's that evening: “‘Fuust’ is the best performance ever given on any stage by any actor. Nothing that I have ever seeu in Paris, London or elsewhere compares for a moment with it in detail, finish or absolute perfection in every branch of the theatric art.” Descriptions of Irving's most notable and wonderful production have been cabled from London so often, and written about to such extraordinary length in all the jour nals of the English language as well as the critical reviews of other tongues, that there is little to add. The much cherished scheme of theatrical dreamers of giving a great spectacular and mechanical production, backed up by excellent actors, has lieen realized for the first time. There have been many great state presentations of gor geous scenery and notable spectacles, but the mechanical expense of such productions was so great that the management was obliged to economize by filling out the biil with cheap actors. Good actors like Edwin Booth, Salviui and tne rest have poor companies and cheaply mounted plays. Occasionally a capable actor appears in an expensive production. Then it is the play that is wanting in worth. In “Faust” everything is perfected. To begin with, an actor and actress who are famous the world over are suited absolutely with characters that are familiar and classical. The Mcphisto of Irving is his most impressive personation. His gaunt body, remarkable face and grewsome personality in the character so well that after seeing him play it, every man who thinks of lh<' devil at all will invariably call up the image of Henry Irving in his mind. His wretched and deadly pallor, the incessant and evil fun of his sneering and leering wrong-doing dominated the entire produc tion. It was a wonderful characterization, and the fact that it was decidedly grotesque ilid not lessen its force. Miss Terry’s “Mar garet” is, of course, a finished and beautiful performance. I wonder if this beautiful and distinguished actress ever did anything on the stage that did not verge on perfec tion. The innocence, guilt and sufferings of Goethe’s beautiful heroine were portrayed with ineffable strength and skill. The minor actors were up to the standard of the Lyceum Company. The play itself," adapted from the German by Mr. Wills, is graceful in language and dramatic in action. It is a story that never grows old. When it comes to the manner of production it would seem that there is nothing left for stage realism to accomplish. The spectacles over which New York has raved at various times during the past ten years are puny, crude and silly compared to the triumphs of this production. There must be an army of acrobats in the troupe to supply the goblin and nondescript com binations of men and beasts the bats, owls and spectres who made up the hideous and fascinating multitude in which “Mophisto” reigned supreme. All sorts of fantastic forms scaled the rocks, swung across the stage and made the most astounding exhibit of infernal playfulness that has been known outside of a madman’s brain. Irving is in for a greater season in America than he has ever known before Blakely Hall. LOW-CROWNED HATS. For Which Everybody Should be Duly Thankful. New York, Nov. 12.—One of the noticeable features of Mrs. Potter’s debut was the fact that nine-tenths of the women appeared in low crowned hats or bonnets, thereby adding materially to the comfort and enjoyment of the audience, particularly the masculine portion of it. And, indeed, apart from this interesting occasion, it may be stated that the day of towering head gear is rapidly vanishing. Women are discovering by degrees that a mass of velvet, ribbons and feathers piled upon a feminine head is neither pretty nor elegant, ana gradually the fair dames are coming to look less like cockatoos and more like nature's noblest handiwork. At the atres one notices invariably now the advent of the low, close-fitting toque, which is usually becoming to every style of face. Two or three years ago those little cap-like bonnets were universally worn, but fasliion dictated the sticking of a tall, stiff, horsehair ornament,resembling a gigantic paint brush, into the front of every hat of this kind, and the result was either hideous or grotesque and sometimes a combination of both. At a theatrical performance the other night I observed a lady charmingly dressed in a simple but effective costume, while her head was innocent of either hat or bonnet. In stead she wore a graceful mantilla of Span ish lace artistically draped and caught on one side by a crimson rose. What a charm ing fashion to imitate! Certainly where women who have carriages to drive to the theatre tho lace mantilla would tie conve nient as well as elegant. Meanwhile let us congratulate and applaud those sensible creatures who have discarded millinery fireworks and adopted the tiny toque. Clara Lanza. Life in the West. From the Chicago Tribune. A few years ago at u regular Wednesday evening prayer-meeting of one of the churches of Bismarck, Dak., the pastor, tiie Kev Fairchild, curoo into the cha|>el and found only about a dozen ladies present. He looked around a moment and said: “Bister Wetherill. can you tell me the cause of this remarkable absence of the gen tlemen who have bran in the habit of at tending our regular meetings' ” “Why, hadn’t you heard about it?” re plied the lady addressed. “The Spotted- Front grocery advertises to give away free samples of anew brand of chewing tobacco this evening, and the gentlemen have all gone there.” “Hal ’said the worthy pastor as he re moved his spectacles and buttoned his coat, “I hadn’t noticed the announcement. Just excuse me a moment, ladies, please, I must step down to the Spotted-Front myself. I haven’t had a good chew of eating to bacco since 1 left Fargo 1” and he shot out the side door.
