"The Bunchbnclv Mt the Chestnut

There are few plays better worth seeing than
The H1tnchJdck, and the audience in attendance
at the Cbesnut Street Theatre last evening had
the pleasure Of witnessing a more than usually
good representation of it. The "Julia" OF Miss
Glover was very charming performance and
it made more favorable impression than any
thing she has yet done in this city. Miss Glover
has a slight impedimcnt in her speech that is
notiunpeasant in itself but that prevents her
from being heard distinctly at all times, and
she is TO a certain extent deficient in power.
Those who sit nearest to the stage, therefore,
ere best able to appreciate some of Il c best
parts of her acting, and to understand
how really fine her abilities are.
Miss Glover is able to represent passion
and emotion without rant, and in this she pre-
sents most favorable contrast TO Mrs Scott
Siddons, who last played the part of Julia" at
the Chesnut. What she lacks in force she
makes up in expression, snd her performance
last evening was refined. elegant, and tho
roughly artistic--such performance, in fact, as
few stock actresses we have had in this city of
late years could equal. Mr.. Davenport's master
Walter wds OF course admirable in every re-
spect, and the other parts were, almost without
exception, well sustained. The house was filed
with a large and fashionable audience, and the
performance was literally applauded through
out, Miss Glover, Mr.. Davenport, and Mr..
Thorne, who persouated "Cifford" being seye-
raj times called before tAsc oIIbgn.

MUSICAL AND DRAmATIU.

MIR. Rufus Adams s'=ir Peter TeazIe.''
Sheridan's brilliant comedy of The School for
Scandal was performed last night at the Arch
for the purpose of introducing Mr.. Rufus Adams
in the character of "Sir Peter Teazle." Mr..
Adams as a high reputation as teacher OF
elocution. and he is probably as good Judge OF
acting there Is in the country There ia n
vast difference, however, between knowing how
a thing ought to he done and how to do H. If
the situatios were otherwise, what magnificent
actors all the critics would be and Mr. Adams,
by his 'Sir Peter Teszle," even more than
bv his ''Shylock,n demonstrated very
clearly that he has not mastered all the techni-
calities of the art histrionic. Elocuton
is very important element of the art
of acting, but it is not the only
element worthy of attention, by any means; and
on the stage man who has plenty of the right
Kind OF action although he may be an exc
cradle reader, will succeed where one who
Is merely good elocutionst will make
but little impression. "Sir Peter Teazle" Is
character that will almost act itself In
reasonably competent hands, and 1t re-
quires fine physique even more than eminent
ability. Mr. Adams certainly looked the part
last night, AS be possesses all the personal ad-
yautages necessary for its successful persona
tion, but he lacked sympathy with it, and his
performance was cold aud colorless, although
correct enough as piece of reading. Mr..
Adams deficiencies we're especially apparent in
the quarrel scene where Mrs. Drew's brilliant
acting as Lady Teazle' completely threw him
in the shade. Mr.. Adams ia not a mere amateur,
and yet he is not strictly professional. His
performance, therefore, Is open TO criticism,
while IL is entitled to certain amount OF
lenient judgment. Some of his greatest def
ciencies last evening may be attributed to want
of practice as professional actor, which pre-
vented him from feeling perfectly at ease on
the stage.

By the Day.

IT makes difference In the actions of
q man whether he is working by the day
or by the Job. He who works by the day
is pleasant and edifying object Here,
for instance, is a man who has come In TO
repair the gilt.lettering on your Office door.
He is working by the day There is no
undignified haste about his movements.
He gazes upon the work laid out for him
with critical eye, but he does not hurry.
He evidently has not considered the ant,
and the busy bee he holds contempt for.
You gaze upon his sluggish grace admir-
ingly, only your pleasure Is marred some
what by the reflection that he Is working
for you, and by the day, and you mildly
intimate that 80 slight work will, OF
course, soon be finished. The man gives
only q negative assent to your proposition,
and does not hurry himself Time does
not hang heavily on his hands He is
working by the day. He does not appear
at all troubled by the accidental breaking
of the glass, and the consequent expense
and annoyance. He bears up under your
misfortune with surprising grace. He sits
down and rests. He Ia philosopher and
a sybarite. And, finally, when your faith
in that old proverb which claims that
"more hast" is accompanied by "lesa
speed" is totally ruined, and the cost Of
your patching has exceeded that Of the
original work, he departs from you with
the same bland demeanor and pleasant
smile--a little Mephistophelian, perhaps
which he has worn from the first 1t h
very pleasant and very expensive TO have
work done BY the day.-Amerioan Bsids'

A Big Sum.

THE war indemnity that France Is to
pay Germany is, according to the Frank
fort Gazette, to be divided among the VIC
tors as follows: North Germany, 1915
millions; Bavaria, 65 millions; Wurtem-
burg, 240 millions; Baden, 100 millions,
and Hesse, 105 millions of francs.
The total indemnity--five milliards-is
a sum of such colossal magnitude that it
requires quite an effort of the Imagination
TO realize it. The lips may utter it glibly,
but the mind has no share in it, for this
sum so far exceeds the numbers with which
people deal in ordinary life that it is at
first impossible to grasp it's real signi-
ficance. A few illustrations will readily
show this Surprising that an experienced
cashier is able to count 10000 francs in
five. franc pieces in an hour. Were he to
begin counting at % years of age, and con-
tinue at this rate eight hours day through
800 working days in the year, he would not
finish his work until he Is II years old.
If row of one franc pieces was to be laid
down side by side, this line would reach
one third the distance between the earth
and the moon. Or, conceive that not one
milliard of minutes has passed since the
birth of Christ had we, therefore, put
aside five-franc piece every minute dur

song OF TIE DUCKS.

ONE little black duck, one little gray,
Six little white ducks running ont to play;
One white lady duck, motherly and trim,
Eight little baby ducks bound for swim.
One little white duck holding up its wings,
One little bobbling duck making water rings;
One little black duck turning round Its head,
One big black duck-guess he's gone to bed.
One little white duck, running from the water,
One very fat duck-pretty little daughteri
One very grave duck swimming off alone,
One little white duck standing on q stone.
One little white duck walking by its mother,
Look among the water reeds, may be there's
another;
Not another anywheref Surely you are blind;
Push away the grass, dear, ducks are hard TO find.
Bright little brown eyes DER the picture linger:
Point me all the ducks out, chubby little finger!
Make the picture musical, merry little shout
Now, where's that other duckf What is he about!
think the other ducks the incest duck of all;
He hasn't any feathers, and his mouth is sweet and
smallI
He runs with light step, and jumps upon my
knee,
And though he cannot swim, he's very dear to me.
One little lady duck, mothery and trim;
Eight little baby ducks bound for a swim;
One lazy black duck taking quite nap,
One little precious duck here on mammals lap.
