Charlotte Cushman discouraged wo-
men as far As she could from adopting the
stage as a profession. She was accus-
toned to say that for the candidate who
had beauty there is moral ruin as a re-
ward. and when her personal attractions
are poor, then her course is one long dis
heartening struggle. She attributed her
own success to her wonderful physical
health. Her mind was masculine and
physique was one rarely given to women.
Since the world began woman has
never failed to illustrate in instances the
glory of her nature-never ceased to mani
fest the divine in the human. With the
regal Esther yearning to bless her en-
deared kindred, and the 6lial l0ve-in-
spired daughter, who sustained the life
of her gray-haiaed father through pris-
on's bars, there have not been parallels
wanting in all ages to prove that the an
gels of God still wander on earth to re-
mind man of Eden and give him fore

was Penelope weaving amid her maidens
through weary years the web that shielded
her virtue until her royal husband re-
turned from his wanderings to gladden.

nobler still, the Roman Cornelia, who,

woman to have been the another OF the
Gracchi."

Jas ONeill played "Richelieu" At

of Witnessing his rendition of the part.
He was called before the curtain no less

the Passion play. He is accounted one Of
the best leading men in the country.
We saw THE World" the other
night at McVickers theatre, Chicago.
There is not much opportunity for fine
acting in the play; the wonderful scenery
is what makes it ansuccess. The raft
scene" representing the ocean with . raft
and several persons on it, Perishing for
thirst, particularly claimed our admira-
ton. The play has already enjoyed run
of about thirty nights and will be kept on
, until August 18th.
M. Sardon, when asked the difference
between drama and comedy, said, The
distinction is very simple: In . drama
the plot turns ON murder; in comedy,
ON a marriage. The question is, in =
comedy, whether the marriage will take
place or no, and, in drama, whether the
murder will be accomplished or not. There
will be q murder; this is the first act.
There will be no marriage, or no murder;
this is the second act. A new incident
happens, a new manner Of killing, or mar
rvin9 that is the third act. An obstacle
arises which prevents the killing or mar
rying; that is the fourth act. This must
finish and so in the fifth act the marriage
or the murder is consummated or accom-
plished, because everything must have an
end"

On Friday afternoon, ut the Sweet

old, and determined to watch him. He
called to his aid furniture dealer Of

minutes they saw him
Put HIS HAND IN A LADY's POCKET,
pull out q handkerchief and piece OF
paper, which he examined and dropped to
the ground. Mr.. Wills then ordered his
arrest, and he was taken and locked up in
the Brownsville calab0Ose. The name oil
the thief could not be ascertained. Mr..
Wills informed the reporter that BE-
fore the arrest he saw the "crook"
make play for cOuntryman's watch, but
the crowd happening to surge Just then,
the theft was not accomplished. The
crook would frequently change his hat, in
order to throw the police of as to his
identity.
HE HAD TWO OR THREE PALS
on the ground, one OF whom is described
as medium sized young man, wearing q
low, round crowned stiff hat and short sack
coat Right after the arrest this young

the mistakes in apparel that might

But there is another trouble which
has not yet occurred to these strong

time immemorial it has been
the sole prerogative Of woman to sit
on the floor and pull of her stockings.
The reason of such q nightly and

convenience. A man built on the
straight line can easily throw his foot
over his knee to pull on or of his
sock; . woman built on the curved
lines which necesitates fuller, round

adoption of pants would make q

EDITOR BAzoo-The city is receiving

buildings, adjoining the city Jail on the
south side. One for an engine house. and
stable and the other building to be rented
for livery business At SIS per month for a
term of four years. Both buildings to be
26x8O each. I believe that the council is
right to build . separate engine house
with stable attached. but in regard to the
other building, 26xS0, to be rented At SIS
per month for business purposes, il meets
with the opposition of the property hold
ers interested on Usage street. More or
less livery business interieres with the
sidewalk, and Is $4,000 has been expended
for costly buildings on Usage street, quite
lately, it seems to me the wishes of prop
erty holders ought to be considered. There
is no authority in law to erect buildings on

business. Truly, CITIZEN.
