The puty Of an Audience.
Emily Faithful in The Theatre.

ss-.. - Emily Faithful in The Theatre
Surely the obligation of the public to-
ward their entertainers is not discharged
by the mere money transaction that secures
to the one q seat and compels the other to
perform certain pieces. Society would
crumble if our dealings with our fellow
creatures were conducted on the hard and
fast hines of contracts alone, setting aside
all !. considerations of courtesy and good
feelings. Il We pay cur servants, yet clothe
our commands in the dress of politeness.
We are not obliged to express in a theatre
what we do not feel, but we are obliged, il
we admit that courtesy is among the can
ons of good feeling. to abstain from indif-
ference SO pronounced. We even go fur
ther, and say that audiences when pleased
should show their appreciation frankly.
They would be great gamers by showing
such cordial encouragement. Artists are
proyerbially the most sensitive of mortals.
They cannot do their best for lymphatic
spectators. Applause is to them like water
to the thirsty it puts fresh life in them.
English audiences are painfully cold, and
in fashionable theatres Indifference is chtc,
The passionate enthusiasm of an Italian or
Yiennese house would be voted absurd by
our languid youths and insipid maidens Of
the g,lded order and, therefore, it is to
the pit and the gods that the artists look
for encouragement. No one has right to
meddle with people because they are too
stupid or too affected TO take an interest;
or, II they take it, to show it. Talking -
positive, and as it isinsulting and annoying
to actors and honest play-goers, il ought to
be put down. Behind the scenes notices
are posted up requesting the artists not to
speak IN the wings during the performance
o i the play. A notice, " Talking u pro-
hibited.' might prove useful in the stalls
and boxes, and we think one or two aadi-
stiops could be made. We would suggest
the following sGentlsmen requiring con-
slant refreshment are requested to return
50 their places before the curtain II I, rung
M again, and not to begin searching for
their hats and coats before the conclusion

The Pensioners Bureau.

Since the passage of the arrears Of PEN
sions act, fifty thousand rejected claims
have been again presented to the Commits
sioner of Pensions. These. with the num-
Der of unsettled claims now before the
Blreau, swells the total number to more
than one hundred and eighty thousand
The number of claims received each week
since the passage of the act referred to av-
erages twenty-five hundred, and over
twelve hundred letters are sent ont daily in
reply. The pensioners now on the roll
number about one hundred and thirty-fye
thousand, the list having been increased
more than ten thousand during the year
BY the settlement Of pensions of the war
of 1912. Commissioner sBently has plan
to radically change the present system of
paying pensions It is to divide the Uni.
ted States into districts, which shall be nm
der the control of commission consisting
OF surgeon and skilled pension clerk,
the duties OF whom shall be to attend to
ut tue principal places in the district and
hear evidences in the application for pen-
sions. An ingenious system of blanks has
been suggested for communication with
the central Office. The benefits of this
plan would be to subject old claims to
moro rigid examination, and to protect the
government and the pension fund against
fraudulent and nnmeritorious claims. and
ct the same time TO greatly reduce the
payment of pensions. The first psnsioE

England was the act of 1892. which author

MAJOR THoRNBURaE.

Us ~ From the New York Herald. =
Major Thornburgh was native of East
Tennessee, and enlisted in the volunteer
service during the early part of the late
civil war; He soon rose to the rank of cap
tain and adjutant general, serving on the
staff of Brigadier General Spear, who COM
manded brigade of Tennessee volunteers.
About the year 1868 Captain Thornburgh,
then mere youth, was appointed cadet
at West Point, where he graduated in the
artillery department. He was assigned to
duty successfully in Alaska, Washington
Territory and California, and was after
ward transferred to the Atlantic coast. He
was subsequently appointed paymaster,
with the rank of major, and after remain
ing some time in the Pay Department,
tired of the monotony and inactivity in
this branch of the service and wishing for
outdoor life, sought and effected a transfer
with Major FL. g. Thomas, OF the Fourth
Infantry, being the first case of the kind
on record. By this change Major Thorn
burgh stepped above several ranking cap
tains. This transfer occurred early in 1878.
During the Cheyenne outbreak of last
year Major Thornburgh was in command of
the troops sent to intercept them ON the
line of the Union Pacific Road, General
Crook giving him the command on account
of bis being great favorite and having
much confidence in him. The command
was almost entirely composed Of recruits
and infantry men unused to horses, while
the Cheyennes were finely mounted and ac-
quainted with the country. He failed Of
success: yet he did good and faithful SER
vice, some of the hardest work on record.

practice he could have eaualsd Carver in
rife shooting. He was . man OF splendid
physique; with a nobles manly appearance,
which impressed every one.5g He was an
ambitious, brave and gallant officer, and .
genial, hearty and whole-sonled gentleman,
the very embodiment of jovial good nature.
In Omaha, where he resided for some time,

ismail's Avarice and Tewfk's Economy


Ismails sole passion was for boarding,
and curious anecdotes are current on this
| subject. Out of 42 table services dating
back to Said Pasha, some of them massive
gold set with precious stones, he has taken
away ii, and when the parsonage I have
| mentioned, on being invited to breakfast
by Tswtik, remarked that his table service
was incomplete, Tewfik replied, "Yes, it
is the only one my father has left me"
From the moment abdication was pressed
on him, Ismail's only idea was to stave it
off long enough to pack up everything, and
| when all his trunks were on board the
sensation was such that the Consuls asked
themselves whether they ought not to lay
| an embargo on them. His fortune is es-
timated at SIC, 00O, 600; yet the day OF his
departure he gave a crowning example Of
| his ruling passion. A red carpet had been
laid down on the quay as mark of loyal
homer. Ismaii, affecting to show that he
was no longer sovereign, walked alongside
| it on the bare ground, bat ON arriving at
| the spot where custom duties are collected,
and learning that there were $4,000 Turk
| ish) in the Office, he resumed for moment
| his legal functions, and ordered the money
| to be brought to him on board, which,
| however, did not prevent his writing in
few days to Tewhk for $4,000 (Turkish)
"whlch be stood in great want of, not
| having farthing." 8 as5 s 1g
Unlike his father, Tewfik pushes ideas
of economy to almost an extreme. His
| household is reduced to the simplest scale,
and every month the salaries of his person
al attendants are paid under bis own SUI
| pervision; he has reduced his civil list to
low figures noshing goes into his private
purse he has made it kind of ambition
| to meet the engagements of Egypt, and an
eyewitness assures me ha has seen him

LETTERS MUST BE PROPERLY Address
ED.--The new postal regulations require
all mail not addressed to any postofice
shall be returned TO the sender, if known,
or TO the Dead Letter office. The custom
heretofore has been to permit postal en-
pl0yees to change the address apon misdi-

hindrance. the authorities say. rather than
q help ia forwarding mail matter to its
] proper destination. There are row about
1 AZ, 600 postoffcss, and fully three times
that many places that have local names but
are not postofices. Many thousands of
letters are addressed to such points, and it
has been the custom to allow postal eIn-
ployees to redirect them to the postofice

now forbidden, and persons must be care
