Punch and Judy.

from Chambers's JournaLl
In Italy Punch and Judy in its present
form is nearly three centuries old. 1t was
introduced into England by Piccini-call
ed by his successors Porsini-who died
about 40 years ago, after having exhibited
his show for half century. The puppet
play. in which Addison saw Punch in the
DAYS of Queen Anne, was quite different
thing. Addison speaks in the Spectator of
the two shows as "the opera at the Haymark-
et and that under the little Piazza in Covent
Garden-the two leading diversions of the
town - and a loquacious Snowman will still
describe his drama sin two hacts" as mot a
comedy, neither tragedy-but a hopera -
In those old times the Punch of the CoVent
Garden Piazza danced with "a well -disciplin-
ed pig - and various stories were shown In
the box theatre on different days, from Old
Testament tales down to Wilmington and his
cat. But though every Punch that ever
squeaked is cousin of the Italian Puneinello
or Policinello-the Punch that married
Judy dates from the italian play-writer Sill
vic Florillo, about 1900, and the coming to
England of that particular Punch and his
indestructible Judy dates from old Piccini.
1t may give further interest, though perhaps
not thanks, to Piccini's memory, to add that
he is regarded also as the father of all that
play upon barrel-organs. He got money at
an almost incredible rate, and spent it as
freely as II came. WQen CEulASAAuh Haue
his sketches of the progress of Punch and
Judy, he found the old Snowman at work
still, aged and miserably poor, putting up at
a public in the Coal Yard, Drurylane. From
the Coal Yard. Piccini only removed once,
to st. Giles's Work house, where he died a
pauper, after having in his day caused an
incalculable amount of laughing and bright
ening of poor faces, and of childish faces
poor and rich. This man is said to have
made at one time as much as e10 day his
puppets were known to high and low, and it
is recorded against at least one Secretary of
State that IN. the midst of business the voice
of Punch could lure him round the corner.
AS the show became more common Punch S
income dwindled away. According to Mr..
Mayhew, to whom we are indebted for many
secrets of the London poor" the exhibitors
of Punch aud Judy 40 years ago collected e5
a week in the hat while now, though they
still are few enough for every Snowman to
know all the others, and where they are
throughout the country each pair only bare
ly make their living. They have to tramp
for it many miles day, while one of them
exhausts himself with the strain of several
hours of the instrument in the mouth, and
the other, who plays the reed and drum at
each ''pitch, " has to carry half hundred
weight of stage and properties in transit
from one pitch to another. Their stock of
puppets is expensive, costing several pounds
if it be new there is large quantity of
cloth and tinsel, the Doctor requires the
luxury of an ermine wig, and the head of
each figure costs some shillIngs when it comes
from the hand of the special Punch and Judy
earVer.

said that she was married before she was fit.
teen years of age to man named Day, and
| that two months later she left her husband
| and eloped with a man with whom she re-
| NAMED until two years ago. The prisoner, it
has been ascertained, has been considerable
of an adventures, and played the role of
''blackmailer" On several occasions with
much success. She has, Detective Parker
says, most ungovernable temper
and that it was an utter impossible
ty for any person to remain
on friendly terms with her for any length of
time. Her husband about a year ago OBJ
tanned a divorce from her, and her family re-
fused to have anything to do with her. From
the investigations made by the police author
tiles of Providence, it would appear that
Dora Avery has hitherto figured in more than
one suspicious poisoning case At one time
she was housekeeper for an invalid lady, who
died very suddenly. There was considerable
talk over the matter and some friends de-
scribed the lady and thought that 6 post
mortem should be made, but an investigation
was abandoned and Dora soon afterward dis
appeared from the place.
Detective Parker relates another story, in
which she figures suspiciously. Dora was one
of party who went sleighriding in Connec-
ticut couple of years ago During the
stoppage at an inn bottle of wine was
opened, and in some mysterious manner ar
senlc was dropped into the glass of a young
physician who was in the company, but who
fortunately discovered the presence of for
eign substance in the wine before he had Ia
ken the fatal draught. It was Dora who held
the DOCTORS glass when wine was poured into
it. On two occasions she drew revolver on
two of her male admirers for the purpose, it
IS said, of extorting money. To a reporter
this afternoon the prisoner reiterated her
previous statement, declaring her innocence.
She said that she had one friend in Brooklyn,
but positively refused to indicate who it was,
as she did not wish to have him mixed up in
any way with her troubles. There is much
reticence at police headquarters in relation to
the manner in which Superintendent Camp
bell became specially interested in the case
but it looks as if the information which led
to the woman's arrest was received from a
resident in this city. The superintendent
positively refuses to relate what would doubt
less prove an interesting story about this
branch of the case.

falcation of Richard H Cornwall, an old and
trusted clerk He had charge of the bonds
