made to her managers to take the com

under consideration.
The theaters and other places Of
amusement in st. Louis are open on
Sunday evenings, and some Of them
give matinees. Clergymen and prom
.inent laymen of the different churches
are ondeavoring to put a stop to this
by securing further legislation for the
enforcement OF the Sunday laws.

Etelka Gerster, now with the Ma
pleson opera troupe, receives SlOOO a
night, and she carries a poodle, two
maids and a husband, so says her man
ager. He says when opera people are
good and a manager wants TO keep
them, they act like spoiled children,
and have to be potted to be gotten
along with.
The Abbott opera troupe is the only
company that has yet performed the
beautiful, weird and curious opera OF
Paul and Virginia" in this country.
The company opened the present week
with it at P~hiladelphis, and with
marked success. Martha" Lucia"
Mariana" and the "Bohmian Girl, =
have also been rendered during the
week. The engagement there closes
this evening.
Mapleson, the opera manager, says
it costs $500 to mount the opera OF
"Lohengrin," and the expense of car
rying the trappings of"Aida' is enor-
nous. He relates that at st. Louis,
where the theater is small, two years
ago, the procession had to form in the
saloon across The alley and march in
onto the stage and then back again,
and one night the property man came
running, and says he, Master Maple
son, they've locked the saloon up and
the boats inside" Break open the
door, and they broke it open, but a
constable came along and arrested
them. The boat was gotten out and
onto the stage, though, and the audi.
euce didn't know the difference.

they may have game, birds, and any
thing that the market affords, with, OF
course, an additional charge for extras.
Some families pay IS or $40 or more
per week per person. They do not
seek to ave money so much as to avoid
the bother of cooking in the house,
But most customers desire TO deserved
at the lowest rate
How do you keep the food warm
we have a special tin vessel with
lamp heaters. This enables us to
send meals to any part of the city and
serve them as fresh as if they came
from the kitchen. We send many
meals by elevated railway or horse
cars. | know of one family that pays
SIS q week for meals served in this

"How about the dishes2'
Sometimes we supply our own
dishes. In that case we take them
away about an hour after each meal.
Sometimes families prefer to keep and
care for their own dishes
AS to service at table, do you sup
ply that"
Often families who prefer not to
have servants in the house, require us
to send some one to wait at the table.
There is, of course, extra charges for
that"
do you think tse plan is growing
in favor?'
Very much. There is no question
that for the same style of living, it
would cost more to keep house in the
old way. There is economy in fire, in
labor, and above all, in the services
of skillful cook. Few families can
afford to keep a good cook. The ex-
perience required to make a skilllul
cook can only be gained by opportuni-
ties to cook a great variety of food.
This opportunity is not afforded in
small families. Often the maid-of-
all-work does the cooking. This brings
to mind the old adage that the jack-of-
all-trades is a master of none. If a
woman is to be a good cook, she can
not waste her time on washing and
ironing OF general housework. You
might as well try and put a general
homework girl to cooking. She only
spoils your food. Cooking is just as
much a trade as any other occupation,
and sensible persons are beginning to
find that out. If you cannot afford
to getit done at home you may afford
60 employ a caterer who makes his or
hor living by serving others of good
taste as yourself"

GARFIELD IN THE PULPIT.
How He Used 10 Hunt ON Satur-
day and Preach ON Sunday.
Cleveland Herald

Cleveland Herald.l
Learning that President Elect Gar
field was at one time pastor Of the
Disciple church in Aurora, Ohio, and,
in fact, the only one with which he
was thus connected, a writer OF the
Herald called upon the Hon. G. B.
Harmon, one Of General Garfeld's
earliest and most influential friends,
and brought up the subject by request
ing the narration Of any facts that he
might choose to make public"
"Yes, General Garfield preached
here to the Disciple church in 1878,
| think. He was elected 90 the state
senate while preaching here. Gar
field, when he was a boy, lived in
town at different times, and in haying
time was a very desirable hand, but
aft er he began going to school he was
lost sight Of, and when he came to the
front at Hiram College this brought
up the matter afresh, and the church
here being rather small, and Garfield
being somewhat at leisure on Sunday,
it was fixed up for him to come here
and preach every two weeks"
1T has been denied, has it not, that
Garfield was ever a r~everond?'
Eyes. That arises from the fact
that the Disciple church does not re-
quire a license o! their teachers, 50
that any member may conduct public
services. | do not think that he ever
was a preacher in the full meaning of
the word"
"Will you relate some of the cir
cumstances of his preaching here?
"0h, be used to come over usually
Saturday mornings and spend the day
hunting. His temperament was one
that could not bear the close confne-
ment of the school room, and these
Saturdays were Of great pleasure to
him. He was a splendid shot, and
WI very successful in securing game,
He would tire out all the rest of the
party in trying to keep up with him.
In the evening he liked to talk and
discuss the news of the day, and as it
was the time of the rapid ascendancy
of the republican party he was a close
student OF the tactics Of the great
leaders"
He was an unusually well informed
young man, was he not?'.
Very. He could talk upon any
subject, and he never seemed satisfied
until he had got to the bottom of it,
Sometimes we would talk all night. In
the morning after breakfast he would
take his bible and a few slips of note
parer and go into the parlor by him

styled it. lie could not have gone

Plymouth Sketches No. 379.

On Monday evening Feb. 18th, we were visited by a thunder storm of unusual severity for the winter season. It prevented our Liter ary circle from holding its usual weekly ses- sion.
 On Friday, the 4th inst, another trial of L. S. Porter took place inregard to violation of the liquor laws The proceedings of the court resulted in sentences of fines and im- prissnment to the amount of $320, and one hundred and forty days in jail.
 On Sunday evening, the 9th, an unknown horse and carriage driven rapidly on North street, ran out of the ordinary track and whop- ped over spiling its occupants, a man and woman. Fortunately no serious damage re- suited to person or beast.
 On Thursday, the 10th, the wife of MT. Por- ter Sanford of Terryvllle departed this life at the age of about sixty-five years. Mrs. San ford was one of our best women, and was the granddaughter of John Allen, Revolution ary soldier and pensioner.
 On Friday, the 11th, occurred the trial in respect to the owership of the second lot of liquors seized from l.. s. Porter on the 23d of February The result was condemnation and confscation. It really seems as though spirit ous liquors must be growing little scarce on Plymouth Hill.
 On the night of Saturday, the 18th, we re- ceived q fall of some six inches of snow which failed to renew sleighing. but is very gradually wearing away. There are, how ever. large remains of many previous drifts which "All fools day" will doubtless look upon as a stern reality. PLYMoUTHEAN.
