The beautiful phantasmagoria of McClellan's presidential nomination vanished quite early In the season, when the Parker sun rose above the horizon.

New York claimed a liberal share in it and invuriably got it, too. To supply a long felt want the thea- ter managers of Greater New York have finally formed an association and the articles of Incorporation were filed with secretary of state the other day. According to the incoriioratlng document the object of the association is the promotion of theater Interests and of friendly intercourse between the managers. The directors of the association are Heinrich Conreid, Alexander W. Dingwall, Edward F. Albee, Henry W.

There Is scarcely any doubt that part of the responsibility for the two accidents rests upon the builders ana contractors, probably also upon the architects, but it seems unjust to single out a few offenders and let the principal offenders go free. According to the municipal roster of officials there is In Greater New York a department of officials usually called building department. There Is also a law. never repealed, upon the statute book which makes It the duty of that de partment. or rather of the officials of that department, to discover any attempt to violate the building laws, to prevent such violations and to secure the punishment of obstinate offenders. Unsophisticated citizens will probably ask, why did the building department not officially Interfere to prevent the gross negligence which caused the collapse of those two buildings? The well Informed citizens, acquainted with municipal methods, will of course, not ask such a question. They will nmv that the building department Is scarcely more than an ornamental one and. that being well la never taken seriously byunderstood, builders, contractors and architects who. for of economy, wish to violate the building laws, a little political a pull, little Judicious greasing of the depart mental wheels is all that Is necessary o secure the most generous liberty in Interpreting the laws which were framed to protect the lives of the of the commonwealth. the prevention of cruelty to animals was entitled to the fines or not and the care was submitted to the corporation counsel for his opinion.

It was In the spring of 58 that the federation decided to add this phase of work to its efforts along educational lines, and so earnest has been the determination, that the "generous thought has become a fact to libraries, or the extent of twenty-eigover two thousand volumes that are free to any place or people that may be in need of good reading matter and can furnish some one who will become responsible for the care of the book while it is in that place. No formal petition nor money guarantee la required nor Is it even necessary for a womans club to exist In the community. All that Is asked Is that the books be taken care of, and any that may be lost or destroyed replaced. If possible, the borrowers are ht requested to pay the transportation to the next place.

Mr. George Peabody of New York has twice aided the women of Utah In this work, his donations in money amounting to 8700. The books come to the smaller settlements and mining towns like the first welcome rays from the rising sun, rousing and stimulating all who come under their Influence. From the many good results of the Influence of the libraries in Utah, one instance may be given. Some time ago, in response to an earnest request from some of the miners, one of the libraries was sent to the Sunnyslde coal mine in care of Mr. John Kelley, who writes that the men have, been much Interested in reading the books. As a result three hundred of them have orgalzed a Library and Literary society, and have pledged fifty centa a month for Its support They have further petitioned their employers to erect a suitable building to be known as the Miners Building," this to be, not only a free reading room, but a place of general amusement to keep young men from the saloons and at the same time help in improving their minds.

DIFFERENT MODES OF SERVING ORANGES Just now oranges are beautiful, and certainly are good, not alone for dessert, but for an appetizer before breakfast as well, for nothing tastes quite bo refreshing as a small glass of orange Juice newly squeezed from the fruit, the first thing In the morning.

The theme of the play is love, not only the romantic love between man and woman, but that mother love which is probably the most potent factor In moulding the lives of men. The play is set in the environment of polite New York society and the action all takes place in the drawing and ball rooms of cultured and aristocratic classes. The highest lesson of the play is that the love of a good woman may rescue a man even from the curse of heredity. There Is such a thing as writing above the heads of the people and ,Rose Cogh-lan- 's play might be a trifle elevated for plain, ordinary people, were It not for the magnificent work done by her and the splendid character of her' supporting cast which is numerically and artistically strong.

The Mozart Symphony club gave its entertainment last evening at the Lor-in- g opera house to a good and very appreciative audience, says the Riverside, Cal., Press". The quartet gave the best musical evening that has been given this winter aside from the Los Angeles Chamber Concert club. The ensemble was almost perfect and they tone, played with a broad, warm and full of color, and an interpretation Intelligent and musical. Miss Marie Storl, violinist, gave a delightful conception of Sarasate's Hungarian Raphsodle, and also sang several numbers, to some of which she played her own violin obligato. She haa a voice rich and sweet in quality and large In volume. She has also a sweet and engaging stage presence. Mr. Richard Stoelzer's solos upon the Viola d'Amour were perhaps the most pleasing of all the solo numbers. They were Prelude and Traumerl by Schumann and were exquisitely played.
