If Atnerl i rami will miln down their enjoyments quick and fast It la only nutural that J there should be a strong reaction." This latter attitude of criticism is more near ? -IV tha truth, doubtless, since the first pro duction of the work seemed truly to have affected the American public like a fever. Tha press devoted pages to a discussion of the work, societies took It up as n ' subject for discussion, and aa expressed Ymm tha hnlVinrlets noint of View, the - restaurants served "peaches a la Pornl. l - ant nvsters "u.

But having mmmn mtt thnt ther VBI in the WOrk BnU i having attended one or more times, the . nubile naturally could not or should not be expected to manifest the same eager .ieaa aa characterised the llrst produc liona. There Is some reason on the part of' tha American public In the scattered ' rttlea over the country for showing In- terest in this masterpiece of the great .; composer, since a, iiuuim.:iiuii vi nuvi mmi i atA aitilH iiM h utitt rti li pti hv a traveling theatrical organisation except it ' ahould meet with the most liberal sup ,,awia ai. aM,,,taafl llaAurlnar Is mnmnflnifl. 1 Avid It Is but natural, too. lor tne puouo Of the American meiropuus 10 sinve iui the first opportunity of seeing the worki ' which had served for so much discussion , from pulpit to press. Though It cannot be denied, as has been Justly commented upon, that the stately, myatic creation and waa like some beautiful statue that 1 liad -been pawed over by a regiment of txtal-heavers." Kcw people go so far in their reasoning as to realize that any work which prove Itself a money-maker , to those responsible for Its presentation will ha offered In the du course of events Just so long as it continues to draw upon tha public purse.

The rrmrcnea are eaiaonsnea tor in purpose trf fostering and promoting - religious thoughts and OirlMtlan conduct and to ; litem the public turns aa its source of In alructlon. The stage Ix established ' primarily for the pur pone of entertaining, amd tula Is accomplished through the basic principle of sentiment, which Is the pre vadlng and permeating attractive force to draw the voluntary interest of the public at lorge. In whining the attention of the public a play depends almost en tirely upon Its own merit for any pro trarted success, except in such cases i when the business agent succeed In li&alt-a-if Icinar that tilihlff hv i-4ililritlai laHter tining. Rut then, n play is something Of ar will o' the wisp affair; now here, now ttiere, and to return perhaps, .and per- maps to get lost along me waysiue through wlmt would tie termed an un IttA'ky run. Theoretically, If not actually. - the quality of the play Is dependent up vn the taste of the public. It Is a caso of Supply and demand. In the case of the church. It Is a permanent Institution, and whereas almost all men and wotiien, who don their most humble attire to attend the house of worship, do so In the true spirit of piety, there are soma few , who are lnduem-tHl in the name of duty those who officiate as clergymen, and : a few others whose Interest Is based up on the ftnanrlul benefits to follow from ; tha social acquaintances made, and tKrough the publicity otherwise gained. ;linly a few of these latter, of course, of otmraa.

Baltimore, Jan. 2".--Mr. Mason ' U W, Williams, manager ot tha Balti more and Carolina Steamship Co., the new una between Baltimore, Wilming ton and Georgetown, S. C, has met with Att unexpected obstacle in ' putt ting into effect' the new steamer ser vice between Baltimore and Wilming ton, He finds that the railroads lead' Ins; from Wilmington refuse to recog nise a through bill of lading by this new water route. Until this obstacle has been overcome it will be difficult to arrange for a convenient service to merchants in the Interior of North Carolina. This fact may delay .the new Wilmington service, - - ' ' - In an Interview here, on his return from Wilmington, Mr. Williams says: "I waa much pleased by my recep tion by ths merchant of Wilmington, and as soon as proper-wharfage facili ties can be bad and enough local busi ness procured It is likely that the tins will be established. There is a large territory hading out from Wilmington which would be desirable to have, but at present the railroads will not recog nise a .through. blH of lading, which makes it very inconvenient for. the slippers. s ."This discrimination will cut out large bumper of merchants In inland tw-.' from getting their goods from Baltimore" by water. The matter now rest In th hands of the merchant of Wilmington and the surrounding terri tory to hnve this discrimination re moved. The only line running to Wil mington is the Clyde Line, which has toamer - plying between Wilmington and New York, and also has tv Una fnu-t Philadelphia to Norfolk, which makes conmctlon at that ort with the Seabou: if Line, which reaches, the in land points of North and South Caro lina, itWhtl not in direct competition with the Ciyde Line there seems no reason why a line running to Balti more should not have the same rail road facilities. "Whether It is a violation of tha' Inter-State commerce law remains for investigation. -1 am now waltlnar to hear what results will be obtained bv the merenpnts of Wilmington. There will, be no delay in the preparation of the' steamar Frost burg, and the work of making; the necessary alterations will be continued until she Is complet ed, which will be about February-1, . "Should th line be established,- it is n.y purpos to make stops at Wilming ton both going and coming from Georgetown. The line already has good connejctlon with Charleston. This ar rangement will be easy, as the dis tance up the Cape Fear river is onlv about 80 miles. Georgetown, 8. C, will be thn terminal of the line."
