Undor what code of procedure is it that Sheriff Flack, who is on the defensive, oc cuscd of a nasty wrong against the publlo and against the courts, finds himself called upon to suggest the summoning of witnesses to tostlfy in tho motter beforo tho Grand Jury? Is that tho placo for tho presentation of a defense Or has the publlo been misled all along And is it Mrs. Flack that is upon trial for hor character? She would, perhaps, bo as safe in submitting to such investigation as would her potent and unprincipled bus-bsnd, but now is not the time nor the Grand Jury room tho place (or it.

It is a good thing that no testimony was takon from Dr. Thomas, tho Flack family physician, yesterday. Tho mnro completely tho Distrlct-Attornoy's office reprobates any assumption upon tbe pert of Sheriff Flaok of managerial function in the investigation of this mutter the more apt will the publlo be to trust the honesty of spirit with which that Investigation is conducted.

There are many bright incidents in "Tbe Fairies' Well, now running at the Fourteenth Street Theatre aud described by a fond and superlative programme as a new and exceedingly beautiful Irish drama in four acts." Br means of this play Carroll Johnson, the ex-minstrel, makes his debut" as an Irish comedian, and accomplishes this result very creditably, It may at once bo said. The entertaining features in "The Falrlos' Well" are In the shape of daures.songs and pleas-lug sconlc effects, but the play itself ia singularly wesk even for a specimen of tho nmmetlan, Hcanlanciquo comedies. A few of tho dlreat conventional characters are scattered through it; thero Is the nsusl villain, and tho old, old complications, In which vice and virtue work themselves Into the accepted positions. Why must the plays bo Invariably fashioned from tho same old material? There is surely something new under the dramatic sun, and what a fortune there Is in store for the man who discovers It.

l'eoplo will accept plays like "Tho Fairies' Well in a half-hearted way. became mey iiiubi take that or nothing. But in a good, original play, free fiom tho whiskers of tradition, Carroll Johnson might hae made a big hit. litis a clever Irish comedian. He can sing, which all Irish comedians can't do; and he ran likewise act.

"Tho Fairies' Well" Is founded with moro or less Intelligibility upon tho following legend: If maid would her fiitni t- husband kee On All Hallow E'en, 'tween twelve and throe. Let hi-i go alone. If the moon la bright. And look In the well on Condon's might from which a bettor playmight haxo bciiimado. Mr.

SSa, CHINESE BOYCOTT. No. 17 Mott Street Tabooed by New York Oity Celestials. Solomn Proclamation from tho City Hall in Mott Street. Landlord White's Wronj; on Wins Wo Ulng's Company to Be Avenged.

Tho heathen Chluco is in the boycotting business. Ever sluco he first manifested his desiro to lcavo tho Flowery Empire and come to HJow York, tho laud of tho flea nnd the homo of the slavo, ho has been rapidly acquiring tho wavs and habits of New Yorkers aud ls now just as flip us they make 'cm. Ho has virtually monopolized tho laundry business, ho bus a comer ou opium joints, hu dabblos iu teas nnd groceries, imports mid does a thriving business in Chlneso notions and plnys poker liko sin. Ho has oven learned to smoke cigarettes. But uow ho has como to tho front quiotlv, but boldly, and effectually demonstrated his nbilitv and fitness to bo clusied as an American citizen.

He lins oigani7cd boycott. Outside tho Jo-s House, or City Hall, at 10 Mott street, to-day nre posted two notices, written in tho pnio Mongolian and npunr-cntiy devoid of oil mtanlng to Euglish-speak-iu people. John P. White, who owns tho premises nc. oss the way nt 17 Mott street, thought so when he first saw them.

Just nt present he is takiug the groatcst possible interest in tho hieroglyphics, and tho lrnson is thuswisu: Prior to March lust Mr. Wbitu's premises wero occupiod bv on old structure, which ho routed to tlio Wing Wo Hiug Companv, Chinese Mr. Whito informed tho f-tiiiimiiv of liis ilntdrn to in.ir down tlio old huiidiug nud build new ono and tbo Wlug Wo Hiug Company at ouco oskr-d for his ligurt'H lor quaituis in thu uow structure. Mr. Whito gnvo them tbo rates of rental, tho Company ogiod to think it ovor.

and tho result w.is that no ugrccim nt wns reached. Mr. Whito had a liuo double, fivo-story building ou his hands A Chinese Company iu Philadelphia wanted tbo lower part and ho let them havo it. Shortly nftcr Mr. Whito rented tho rooms in the upper storicB to other Chinamen.

After a fow days tho Chmauicu who had rented rooms and paid for them called ou Mr. Whito nnd demandod the return of their money. This state of affairs continued until Mr. Whito soon tia I nothing to look a.t except big, empty building that positively refused to prove a source of revenue to him. He became alarmed end flow to Hughes Jfc Campbell, tho lawyers, ot 322 Broadway.

The linn ut onco started out on still hunt and unearthed 11 genuine, full-fledged boycott on Mr. White bv his Coleitial friends. Tho innocent. looking notices on tho Joss House wero found to be the orders for tho boycott, nud it is said that thoy wero posted there bv order of tho Long-Si-Lee-Toug Society, of 'which Deputy Sheriff Tom Lee is the President nnd Leo Son. tho nllcgod former superintendent of pipe-hitting establishment at 11 Mott strcut, is tho Vico-Prosident.

The Celestial Knights ot Labor hold their mcotings nt 1M Mutt stieot. Justice Hognu refused to grant a warrant for the arrest of Wing Wo lling, ouo of tbe ul It giul conspirators, yesterday, and to-day Mr. White's lawyers will inuko an attempt to bring tho matter to tho attention of the Grand July. the boycott goes merrily on, much to tho discomfiture of Mr. White, who declares that ho is almost ru.lied mid has had to mortgage his pit-inises to obtu'n money.

An Evenino Would lepor'tr, who speaks, reads and writes Chinese fluently, insuocted tho notices to-day. Ho found that the oue posted first warns all Chinamen not to rent tho building, as Wing Wo Wing and others have the right of occupation to surfneo mid second floors of the store nt 17 Mott street. The notice is given iu order to prevent future disputes. Tho second notice is like unto the first, only considerably more so. All Cbiutso countrymen nre "urged to thin three times before takiug onv decisive stops, aud warned tlint great disputes nlwnys come from small begiuuiugs.
