HOW a Fortune was Made.

In 1923, Talma, having appeared only
in tragedy since 1896, consented to give
his support to Mile. Mars in one Of CAST
mir DelaVigne's comedies. The an
nouncement created wonderful sensa-
tion-the best actor and best actress iu
France to appear together.
One morning, about week previous
to the Time OF the announced appear
ance, while Mile. Mars was in her pri-
yate apartments, manufacturer OF
LYONS asked for an audience. On en-
tering he spread out before the actress
shimmering role Of costly, yellow vel
vet.
"Will you deign to accept this, and
make my fortuneW said the visitor.
Explanations followed, and it was
understood to be purely business
affair. The sagacious manufacturer
knew very well that the superb woman
before him set the fashion in female
dress before all Paris. Yellow velvet
was his speciality, but NOBODY wore it;
and vet he was assured that 1T would be
all the rage if once seen upon the queen
OF the stage.
Mile. Mars did not know. The color
was very trying; she had dresses
enough; but at length the earnest plead
| ing OF the manufacturer oYercame her
| scTuples, and, in the kindness of her
| heart, she took the velvet, and handed
| it over to her dressmaker, with instruc'
tions for the making up.
The aventtul evening arrived, and
| Mile, Mars was arrayed in her robes o1
yellow velvet. On beholding the refec.

most shedding tears of vexation. 81
| look like an awfully exaggerated
canary-bird. Really, can not appear.
| Tell the manager he must postpone the
| play. or at least wait Tor me-"
Talma heard the word and hurried
from his dressing-room.
"Is that aIlW he said, when he had
suryeyed the queen and heard her story
..TIpon my word, you never looked bet
Ter in your life. The effect is superb. l
am charmed with it,"
And the play went on.
| In less than two weeks there after the
salons OF Paris were literally golden with
| yellonIYeYet. A lady could not be in the
| fashion in anything else.
Years afterwards the wealthlest manu-
facturer ofLyons gave a grand fete in
honor of Mile. Mars, entertaining her
sumptuously. The festival was held in
a spacious and superb country-house on
the banks OF the Saone, and the fortune
upon which the estate hadEbeen reared
had grown up from yellow velvet.

The Board OF Commissioners of the
Cincinnati Industrial Exposition met in
the office OF the Mechanics Institute
Saturday afternoon, President Hender-
son in the chair, and Messrs. Lane, Dale,
Cooper, McCollum, Means, Pendleton,
Gilpin, Eggleston and Stevenson pres
enG.
The object OF the meeting was TO make
some suitable disposition of the surplus
funds in the treasury, arising from the
over.aSsessment of the Exposition guar
antors. Mr.. EgglestOn, the Treasurer,
having previously reported that alter the
payment of all the debts of the Commits
sion, there remained in his hands a bal
ance of $4,000, Mr.. Cooper suggested
that 81, 105 Of that sum be donated to the
Cincinnati Music Hall Association, that
being the price they paid for the old Ex-
position buildings.
After a good deal of discussion as to
what was the proper thing to do with
the amount, and communications nav
ing been received from S. S. Davis, OF
the Cincinnati Relief Union, and X. M.
Bishop, TrusteeTot the Home OF the
Friendless, asking that the surplus be
given to those charitable institutions,
Mr.. Eggleston offered the following,
which was adopted unanimously:
"Whcreas, The guarantors of the Gin
cinnai Industrial Exposition Fund have
assigned all their interest In the funds
now in the hands of the Exposition Com
missioners to the Cincinnati Music Hall
Association; therefore,
"Resolved, That we appropriate $4,000

This should be corrected, either by plac-

ance Of Mrs. Bowers last night in her
new play "Marti" was enough of itself
to draw a fiue house, buv when it is re.
membered that this was the first appear.
ance of the regular company after three
weeks absence, nothing but an excellent
audience could have been expected.
There was much anxiety here to see Mrs.
Bowers, whU, though q favorite in the
East, has not appeared to a Gin
cinnati audience tor some years.
"Martp' is pleasant, entertaining,
and at times emotional, and is
just the piece for the display of the rare
powers that have given Mrs. Bowers
such high rank among the impersona
tors of society life. Her acting through
out was excellent, and if she is half as
well pleased with Cincinnati as the
audience last night was with her she
may be put down in the future as much
more frequent visitor to the city. Mr..
j. @. McCollom is clever actor and
very ably seconded the star. All the
members of the company acquitted
themselves handsomely, and the frat
night of "MartW at the Grand was suffi.
cient TO impross all with thefnct that it
is most thrilling play, with the charac-
terS well cast and ably sustained, and
the piece exquisitely put on the stage.

Admirers of the horse never fail to ap-

cinnati business circles.
One of the gentlemen wore the colors
Of the Regulars, one that of the Inde-
pendents, and two sported the red, white
and blue, the badge of the Centennials.
Bishop Haven noticing the different col
ored ribbon which ornamented the but
ton-holes of each, pleasantly inquired
what they signified. He was told
that the red ribbon denoted those
who were in favor of one term for
our Presidents, that white meant
a two-term man, and that the three col
ors, red, white and blue, combined,
showed man who would support Grant
for third term. The reverend gentle
man, who was entirely ignorant of the
Library war, heard this with every ap-
pearance Of genuine pleasure, and rub
bling his clerical hands, said: "Ah, l see,
then, that the third-term men are in the
majority. That's good. Pm glad to see
it," Rev. Gilbert was not undeceived,
and he no doubt imagines that the third
term business holds as prominent part
in the public mind as it does apparently
in his own.
