In calling for an xphniatioji of the rt asons whieh induced the Police (Vr-mittee to recommend 11. acecptanco bid of (latnewril which was seme in excels of that a'uther company, the Comvkkctai.

Gakttk feimj-ly to get the faet Ik-fore tho public. It was not iiitimatod that there had Ik anyihing criK-kcu, or that there was any disposition on the part of the conin.hieo tocxp. than was requin d. It was due to taxpayers, however, thr.t tho apparent d'aerepancy ia tho bids should be Xiairu-sh On the part of the Police Committee explanation is simple anl easily understood. They regrd the Gamewt II apparatus as so far superior to any other that they would not for a moment con-fciderthe ajparcjit diffcrenco in price.

Tho Garnewell has lccn in successful operation for thirty years, has leen adopttstl by no les3 than twenty-two titles, and has never bceii abanJoned where introduced. Tt has leen in ue for three years in our sidcr city of Allegheny, and hento its mtriu are familiar to our police authorities. Ti.o syturn of the Uo-don Sigiiu.1 Con.pany, which has been offered iu coinpetitiou with the Gamvweli, is yet an experiment. It hai? been erected in South Boston, but not yet accepted by the Police Commissioners. The principal objection to it is tho complicated nature of the apparatus, thus rendering its operation more expensive and les.s f-Itieient than the simpler appliances of the Gamtwcll.

It is in consideration of these facts that the Police Coram ittea favor the payment of a few thousand dollars more for the one than for the-other. Tho statement that the Boston system has not yet passed the experimental stage would cause any prudent business man to hesitate before adopting it, and, taking the reasons advanced by the committee as unquestioned, Councils wotild be jus tilled ia acting oa their recommendation.

Bible? wiii retire from the inanageifient of the Opera-house the 1st of Eext July, and will after that time devote all his time the mnnaeeraer of the Park Theater, Cleveland. Mr. F-hhr's wHdie came is Adam. Among the theatrical pc-o-I pie be is familiarly known as "Uncle John, but more frequently un-druore appicpriattly "as "Honest Job His career as aa actor uates bfics: to 186. B-jrn in Philadelphia Si ptemlver 2ft, 1522, he tii-st "learned the trade of confecticnc-r, but rlndir? that, business too cor fin it.

5 and injurious to his health, he s-ocn relitujiiished ii. for a kind of runn-of-aU-trades position at Beale's Museum. He wss at one and the same time assistant treasurer, catidle-saud'er, assistant property-man and general super, nod his salary f-l a week. His first apparant- on any stage was ia character of a servant in the farce 'Huntin-a Turtle," in which the late David P. Bowers imjrso'iatcd Vr.

From that time he gave himself up wholly to acting. He essayed mr.nv prts, but was specially successful in old man parts. In tie engaged at the Arch Street Theater, tin h-r William B. B-arton. About tnis tun? ho nitrried Miss Kfhe Murry, di tighter of John and Martha Murry, and sister of the laic Mrs.

Frances II. Fianev. At the time of her marriage to Mr. Eiisler she was a yoar.g widow, known in private life as Mrs. Meyers, She had two sons, Harry and Fred, both of whom adopted the name of their stepfather.

To Mr. and Mrs. easier four children were lcra, Erne, now starring with success; Annie, temporarily retired from the stage; John Jetierscn, named after the comedian Joe Jefih-rson. and Will. John and Will are connected with tbe management of the Parke Theater, Cleveland.

Two of the four children are married John aud lithe, whose husband is Frank Weston, the actor. Mr. Fiisler after cue swwn at Philadelphia was enstged at the old Chatham Street The.tter, New York, bat left it December 184ta to accept an engagement ia' a stock company at Charleston, S. of which Joe Jciferson and his first wife, Maggie Lutkyer, were members. There was a quarrel with the management after a time and El Isle and Jefforson, who had come fast friends, started out as traveling managers on their own account.

They with their wives and families formed in themselves a fairly good-sized company, and with the aiJition of a few assistants and gathering together some cheap scenery they started for Atlanta, where thy opened to a most encouraging house, and "played a successful engagement ot several weeks. The company then made the tour of the Southern States and returned to Charleston, much better off for their independence toward their former manager. The next season lSod-ul the company went over the same route, but Jefferson found the traveling too laborious and withdrew at the tlose of the freason. Mr. and Mrs.

Ellsler then engaged at the St. Charles Theater, Baltimore, but the theater failed sova afterwards and Mr. -Ellsler started with the company out ever the Sourthera circuit to repeat the successes of the former season. Tiie company fir-t appeared at Cumberland, Lut before two nights of the engagement had been played a typhoid fever epidemic broke out among the company, compelling them to be idle nine weeks. Among tl in embers of the company were Maggie Mitchell, Th.vs.

E. 0ens," low-comedian, brother to the late John E. Owens; Wm. li. Goodall and Samuel B.

Johnson. The company got oa its feet again and played a season. The next four seasons Mr. Ellsler took the same company over a much larger circuit, taking in Utiea and Bochester, N. V.

The Cleveland Academy of Muie came tinder is control in loo.and was managed by iiim until 1875. While he was manager of this theater a young girh giving her name as Chra Mornxtn, asked him for a position, as baiiet gi'l. He saw in her the possibilities oi an aetrtes, gave her a position and suggested that she take the name of Clara Morris. After he became manager of the Opera-house he appeared regularly as an actor in his own companies until the combination system was introduced. His last sp-pearance on any stage was as Dogberry, in "Much Ado About Nothing, "at tbe Cincinnati Festival in 1K84.

Since 1871 his wife lias retired lroia the fetnee. Daniel Sally is one of 'American actors who, finding a dearth of euitable plays, undertake to write their ow but one of the few who have been eminently successful in this regard. Mr. Sully does tot write plays from necessity ratrelv, he finds great pleasure in the work. To him it is a relaxation after the excitement and nervous strain consequent upon acting.

After the play is over r. go to his room, takes off his coat, and under the inspiration of the soothing weed address's himself to the business of play-writing with great zest. All of his plays have been written in this way. He thinks ou. his plots while walking along the street or 'hen waiting fir his cue iu the green room; but once he is on the stitge he ipv-s himself up -heart and soul to the work of the Lour.

Few actors enter into the spirit of th-ir parts more earnestly than be. Not infrequently be eucd unfeigned team in the more pathetic passages of the play "Daddy Nolan." He has been, appropn-a'ely styled a natural actor. His methods are all legitircste and when one ef ts the acto, one also the man. Mr. Sully was born la Newport, B.

bM-TiMOKE, April 1-2. Mf 3 Mary tirrttt. sis-tor of Itcbort Garrett, has made p-opfiiioa to tfe Trustees of Johns Hopkins Vf.iveriity which may result in the removal cf that institution to Clifton, the country seat of th-; founder of the university. The lute John tr.trrett favon-d the Clifton loca tioi but the rest of the Trmtet-s, with two exceptions, thoetrhi the site urfave.reble. There was a jrreat controversy at th time b-v tween the Trustees, which resulted ia Mr.

Garrett's failing to carry his point. Afo tint the railroad king took, very lirtie interest in the institution. sso bitter was the feeim that whu llooert Garrett was ptcposed ns a Truscee in his father's place the opposition was so decided that it wa3 not until long after his name had ben c-Jercl that he was finally accepted. Now, Miss Mary Garrett, desirous of having her father's views carried out, crfers to endow the ttEi-ver- ity with per annum on condition that the institution is removed and that the money is to ustain a scientific school in connection with the university. Miss Garrett is the poss.or of an iiQnense fortune and is unir.arritHh She has given frequent evidence of pal li? spirit.

Tiie endowment otTerwi, according to ihe rejoi is to be in the shape of an annual contribution of the sura named during the donor's life-time, and alter her death the eontiuuanee of the income is to be provided for br an endowment. The proposition of Miss tin -reft is said to be now under consideration by the Trustees, who doubtless fully Appreciate the immense importance of sack an Hddition to their income. The endowment of the university, although large, i- by no means suiheient to meet all the requirements of an institution of such scope. The popular impression that the Johns Hopkins is etiffrmously rich has, it is believed by some ef the friends of thi institution, prevented it from receiving legacies, such as other universities are continually rcceivin Harvard is mnch richer than the Johns Hopkinsnnd there are several other institutious having lrger endowments. TIIE INDIAN'S HEALTH.

Apache to He Removed to Ttetter Quarters How Cieronimo Lives. WASHiNUTOif, D. April 22. The Apache Indians, who were moved frjm Arizona to Fort Marion, last fall, are to be removed by direction of the Secretary of War to Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama. They number about 450 in addition to Geronimo and the seventeen bucks who are confined at Fort Pickens.

The wives of the latter will not be removed from Fort Marion to Mount Vernon, but will be permitted to join their husbands at Fort Pickens. Capt. Pratt, Superintendent of the Carlisle Indian School, has gone to Fort Marion to select thirty or forty young Indians before the removal to be instructed at his institution. The removal is made on account of the crowded condition of the quarters at Fort Marion, and although tho health of the Indians has been good, it was thought advisable to remove them to a healthier location where they will have plenty of room and bo free from the gaz-a of hundreds of curious people, who Cook them every time they appear in public. Mount Ytrnon ii considered peculiarly well a-Japied to their needs, being situated in tlie southwestern paii of Alabama on the Mobile river, not far distant from Mobile, and consisting cf a tract of 2,100 acres.

The barracks are occupied by two companies of artillery. The Indians will live in tents, and it is hoped that they may be taught to become self-sap. porting. Geroniino and his renegades are not kept in seditary confinement at Fort Pickens, but are required to work under guard. oOO REDSKINS CI-A1M 10,000,000 AfBCS.

It is said at the Interior Department that the order of the Secretary directing the Commissioner of the General Lb nd Office to approve of the contract of one Green for the survey of a portion of the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation, if found to be regular, and to order its performance, practically settles the question of the right cf settlers to about 10,000, OOM acres of vahiahi land now claimed by the Chippewa. ThU band now numbers lesa than GOO souls and it was their claim which Commissioner Sparks said shonld be settled before surveys could be prenreeded with. Secretary Laraar is of the opinion that the claim of tiiis small band is too vague to warrant ousting the 20,000 settlers who have located en these lands, or to prevent others from settling thereon; thftt if thev have a valid claim Congress should be called upon to settle it. 3-A- dispatch was received at the Indian onice from the agent at Crow Creek, in whieft he states that a dtachnunt of United States troops had arrived there to assist, if necessary, carrying out 4he President's order requiring the settlers to have the reservation. No mention is made in this dhpafch if any trouble present or anticipated.

It is believed among the meniiers of J'istrict Assembly Ot, Knights of L.ior, known as tbe "printers district" of this city and Brooklyn, that the district and otiier districts throughout the couutry will be suspended ahordy by the General Fxeeutive leard for taking up the case of the Montauk Association, of Brooklyn, and ventilating its grievances througli-out the orders.

The printers relieve, they say, that they are on the side of right and justice, aud do not fear the outcome of their action. The trouble erows out of the efforts of the Montauk Association of Long Ishiud to get a charter. District Assembly 4'J optw.std this as teudinz to cripple tb-m by riucing th" natbcr of men in their control. The Monta'iks appealed to the printers ir help, and get it in th- etui pc of resolutions, which denounced the General Board and demanded a charter.

By the Iinjr of a bill in equity in tbe Court of Common Plea No. 1, Mr. Vasusrtiilt raises the important question whether the Trust Peed by which the majority of the stock of the Pittsburgh Lake Erie Railroad Company is sought tbe held in perpetuity in the hands of trustees for the benefit and roU' of Pittsburgh interests, in a valid instrument. Mr. Yaxpkketlt, through his om.se alleges that the.

deed was not executed as required by bv it was canceled, so far as. the oi i.Ia;.i.aiits is concerned, by the kathof Wjmmm II. and the transfer to him of the stock held by the latter, tli.it for other reasons it is contrary to public policy and void. Up'-u this jJcst. lit of facts the.

A deacon, in a rather slow-going Maine town, not lori.r sjr wrote to a wealthy JCew Yorker, who was lrn in the town, asking him to ijubscribe toward a new church in bis native village. Tbe New Yorker's reply read Dear Sir You don't need a church V.alf so much as you need a good fire engine." Tbe New Yorker meat well, but the deacon hardly knew how to take the letter and was dis posed to be in.Ujn.ai.t.

It Ls said Anthony Fronde ouee wittily suested that Calvinism flourished in the Lowlands of Scotland on account of the bad drainage. A Madrid correspondent writes: By an extravagant and continuous consumption of far-lic Spanish people, men and women, fret it into their skin. From their skin it passes into their clothes, so that thev walk about iu a small personal atmosphere of carlle indescribably sickly and sickening. A Spanish gentleman remarked to me one day in a Madrid salon, whilst praising Knglish women, their beauties, virtues, "There is only one fault that I detected in them their skin has no perfume. When kiss a Spanish ludy's hn ml I smell that delicious National odor t'oat we all adore; hut an Krglislt la.ly's hand, though delicately white and does not absolutely smell cf anything!

Reference has already leen made in these columns to the fact that the Cleveland Administration has set its heart on making Massachiuett a Democratic State at the ensuing fall election.

This is thti "vindication" that the 're- formers" are longing for. If the obi Day State the only important State, by tho way, that holds a gt-neral election next fall should be carried by the Democrats 1 and Mugwump, what a boost that would lc towards securing a renomina-tin Lr Mr. lktelanu! What a of light these anticipations throw upon the recent actions of the President. Ever since. Mr.

Clkvk-lvnu took office ho has treated the Massachusetts Democrats with contempt until within a few day past, when ho surprised them by making one of their number Second Controller of the Treasury and appointing another Secretary to the Interstate Commerce Commission. To Ct two good ofTices instead of snubs was a startling surprise, and it even hinted by the Eos ton that the President would gladly accept Secretary E.vdicott's resignation and put a more practical politician in the Boston Col-iectorship if he dared to carry out his wiilitfs. Says our contemporary, which has praised Mr. in no stinted measure for his good acts and worthy motives "Of all the weaknesses which have been attributed to him we can uuayine none gtcater than tho program which the Democrats now btHUit of that Masachuett5 is to see the Federal offices used for securing a Democratic majority this fall in the Lite res of Mr. CLKvti.ANi.

Wo cannot tdlcve that such a step the removal of Secretary EsmcoTr and Collector Sal-tonstali. is seriously considered i-t the Whito House, but. if it is, it i-hows more eloquently than any words could do how completely Mr. Clkvkland has surrendered in the hope of being again President."
