Should Have Been Granted.

The narrow escape from a serious ac-
cident on leden avenue, Saturday
night, should warn the city officials that
the recent unanimous request of the
residents of that avenue for an addi-
tional light between the arc lights at
the corner of Cross street and Union
place should have been granted. ‘

The fact that the accident occured at
the very point where the citizens desir.
ed a light located, would indicate that
the chairman of the committee to whom
the petition was referred, erred in re-
fusing to grant the request.

This error upon the part of an official
is very liable torresult in a heavy suit
against the city for damages.

The Plausible Tramp Thief.

Every one has heard the old, old
spring-time story—“the servant left
him standing by the open door and
when she returned he and the bag was
missing.” Naturally. He was the
usual poor man in search of employ-
ment; the bag had been left in the hall
bya visitor; the servant simply gave
the sneak-thief his opportunity.

Never leave a mendicant alone in the
hall. He may be an honest man, but it
is not discreet to put temptation in his
\way. And there is a very good chance
that he is a collector of overcoats and
umbrellas and stray bric- a-brac.

The most discreet servant is liable to
mistakes. She may shutagentleman
in the vestibule and show a thief into
the parlor. But the latter is more likely
to happen than the former. A person
who ought to be admitted can usually
be recognized, and it is always safe to
assume that the man who has seven
s'mall children at home and has come
out late at night to look for employ-
ment, is not to be trnsted within reach
of too much portable property,

It is also a good rule not to leave
portable property at the front door un-
less there are people enough about to
keep an eye on it. The reason that a
doctor’s waiting room is such a dismal
place is that the doctors have learned
by experience What an attraction ar-
ticles of value have for a certain, or un-
certain class of patients. It is 9. Hits
hard for a clergyman to shut his door
on a poor man, but if- he is going into
the relief business he ought to have a
reception room on purpose, with noth-
ing in it that could be carried off.

Senator lustin S. Morrill.

Justin Smith Morrill, now the oldest
national legislator in continuous service
as well as in years, has just celebrated
his 86th birthday in the enjoyment of
good health and with his faculties un-
abated. If he shall live until the 4th of
March next, he will be the second man
in the history of the government to
serve thirty cpnsecutive years in the
United States Senate.

Thomas H. Benton, of Missouri, has
hitherto stood single and alone as the
one man who served five whole con-
secutive terms in the highest legisla-
tive tribunal of the nation. His. note
book entitled “Thirty. Years in the
Senate,” was cherished as coming from
the only man of the past, and likely to
be the only man in the future .history
of the country, who had attained the
distinction of thirty years’ service as
Senator.‘ .

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, who is
thirteen years the junior of Senator
Morril‘, entered Congress on the same
day with Merrill on the 4th of ’Marcb,
1355. He was transferred to the Senate
after six years of service in the House,
thus attaining Senatorial honors in ad-
vance of Merrill, but he retired from
the Senate in 1877 to accept a position
in the Hayes Cabinet, thus making a
break of four years in his Senatorial
service. When his Cabinet term closed
he immediately re-entered the Senate
and has served longer in that body than
Merrill, as he was chosen to the Senate
in 1861 to succeed Chase, who had just
been elected and entered the Cabinet
without qualifying as Senator.

Senator Morrill has now served forty-
one continuous years in the two
branches of Congress and Sherman has

 

 

served thirty-seven years, to which may

 

 

be added his four years .as Secre-
tary of the Treasury, making him alone
rank with Merrill as having given for-
ty-one years of unbroken service in im-
portant national positions. A

In addition to Sherman, who,\ was in
the Senate when Merrill entered it,
Stewart, of Nevada, was a member of
the Senate when Morrill entered that
body twenty-nine years ago, but after
serving two terms, Stewart was retired
for a dozen years or more, when he was
recalled to the body by the legislature
of Nevada. ,

Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, is
the only Senator who was elected to five
full consecutive terms of the senate and
would have served thirty years con-
tinuously but for his death soon after
he entered upon his last term. As yet,
Benton stands alone as the one man who
served thirty‘years consecutively in the
Senate, but there is every reason to
hope that Merrill will live to reach that
distinction on the 4th of March next.

Senatir Merrill is not only one
of the ablest but the
most practically useful men in the na-
tional counsels. He was the author of
the tariff bills of 1861 and of 1867, and
is to day regarded as one of the sound-
est men of the nation on all economic
questions, and is fairly entitled to the
honorable 2distinction and designation
of “Nestor of the U. S. Senate.”

Camille D’Arville.

Camille D’Arville with her own com-
pany Will present the successful comic
opera, Madeleine, or the Magic Kiss
next Saturday night, April 25 at Hoyt’s
Theatre, Miss D’Arville has succeeded
in doing in this country in three seasons
what it has taken other prima donnas
years to accomplish, and she is today
the acknowledge exponent of this class
of entertainment, having ingratiated
herself by her many admirable qualities
with the music-loving public. She is a
singer of artistic range and is also an
actress of exceptional talents. The
production in this city will be note-
worthy in many respects, at it will be
presented in an entirely new dress, the
costumes and scenery having been
newly made for this tour. The com-
pany supporting Miss D’Arville is a
very excellent one, and includes that
well known fun-maker, Frank David,
Horace W. Ravenscroft, W. C. Stew-
art, Frank Turner, Henry Stanley, Al-
ice Gaillard, Hilda Hollins, Maud Hol-
lins and others. The chorus is large
and efficient, numbering 60 trained voi-
ces. This presentation will undoubted-
ly be the operatic event of the year.
