The Beauty of the vicar of Brax ,

An undeniable handsome woman, SAYS a
lady corresnoQdent of 1he Cincinnati En-
qutfer, writing from New York, is a conspic-
uous figure in the Vicar of Bray, the comic
opera brought out at the Fifth Avenue Thea
ter this week. She is half head taller than
any other man on the same stage, finely pro-
portioned, and has rather pretty face. She
personates a ballet dancer, and wears novel
costume, almost wholly black the only other
] color being very little yellow. Even her
stockings are jet, and, as they are shown con-
siderably above the knees when she dances,
she is about the biggest blackleg that ever
was seen. Owing to the great length of her
limbs, there is CONSERVATION and general
, getting out of the way when she filings them
! around, and her gyrations would be quite
impossible on smaller stage. Her move
ments, however, are not ungraceful in them
selves, and when sbe stands still she is de-
cidedly what woman who sat in front of
me called "distopg'gay."
"She is an English LADY," said the same
observer.
"Indeedp said her companion; "do you
know herr"
"A friend told me about her. She is the
wife Of Mr.. Solomon, the composer of the
opera, you know. Her father is baronet,
and abe is highly cultured. Don't you no.
tice how softly English her accent is, and
how well she carries herself? That manner
could never have been acquired anywhere
else than in the very best English society
They tell me that she has gone on the stage
here for the fun of the thing. Quite an es-
capade for an English lady, isn't it?"
Just about five years ago | happened TO be
IN Buffalo with a near relative. We were
total strangers in the city, and an evening on
our hands. He suggested that here was my
chance ID go to variety show without de-
lection. We went. 1 found myself in a
stuffy little box, and, peeping out from be-
hind the curtains, saw a smoking, drinking
audience of men. Myself and two others
were the only women in the house, aside
from those on the stage. One of the latter
was the same Edith Bland, just az stately
and fine as she was The other night at the
Fifth Avenue. Remembering this, wonder
if the adtnirer of her lady-like demeanor and
soft English accent would have changed her
mind if Informed that, whether or not the
actress WIS of aristecratic birth, she had ac-
,quired her grace OF bearing on the despised
variety stage. We humbug ourselves alto
gether too much in such matters. 1t is only
in novels that high birth gives arched in-
steps, taper fingers and sensitive nos,rils. In
real life they are impariially bestowed among
all sorts oil women, thank heaven. The most
perfect specimen OF the style of beauty re-
garded as aristocratic are found, go far as
this city is concerned, among the tenement
house population, and are usually young
girls of Irish parentage. They lose their
daintiness and delicacy by the time they are
twenty, and by thirty usually become more
or less coarse; but while in their teens they
are often lovely, and possess just the arch
nass and self-Poiae- that characterize the
oeatle- blCOded herOines of romance

Political Points.

The official canvass If Oregon gives
George 3,365 majority for Congressman.
The maiorities for State officers run con
siderably behind this.
The Democrats Of Vermont are craw-
ling over to Republican ground. In their
recent State Convention they adopted a
tariff plank in favor of protection.
The leading Republicans in North Caro-
lima claim that they will gain enough ac-
cessiUns to their ranks this year to over
come the majority of 5000 10y which the
Democrats carried the State last year
1t is estimated that the Liberals will carry
the State in this contest by 10000 to 15,-
600
Each of the four Republican candidates
for Congressman at Large, in Kansas,
served in the Union Army. All were born
outside the State. One is from Maine,
two are from Ohio and one is from Hi
nois. One is a banker one IS a receiver
OF a United States Land Office, and two
are judges.
The next Republican State Convention
in Delaware, which meets July 9th, will
be the most important in the history OF the
party in the State. The Republican vic
tory won in Wilmington recently has en-
couraged the hope that with popular
nominations for Governor and Represent
ative in Congress the Democrats may be
defeated and Bourbon rule ended in Del

Those citizens of the north who at the

minority in the present Congress on the
subject of the tariff, the internal revenue,

Seventeen years have passed since the
war closed. The Democratic party has
held control Of the House, the only cham

years of this period, over one third. The
only reduction OF taxation made during
this period was on tobacco and quinine.
In the eleven years during which the re-
publican party has controlled the House
since the war, it has RENTED taxation to
the amount of $3.50, 200, 900, reducing the
revenue to the amount of 1907 zoo, OOG,

Why He Didn't Explain.
Detroit Free Press.

Some eight or ten years ago silvery
tongued chap who claimed to be fruit
tree agent, swindled the farmers of this
county in a shameful manner, and one
resident of Nankin was SO mad about it
that he came to Detroit, searched the
rascal out and gave him a pounding on
the street. After he got through his
work he told the fellow that he would
lick him twice as bad if he ever put eyes
on him again, and it was threat to be
remembered and nursed. About three
weeks ago the Nankin man was travel
ing IN Washtenaw county, and as he
iourneyed along the highway he met
traveller who so closely resembled the
fruit tree swindler that he halted and
and called cut:
"Here you are again, you bold faced
rascalr'
eyes, I'm here" was the calm reply.
"Well, som l, and I'm going to lick
you until you can't hollerl l said I'd do
it, and l always keep my word. Climb
down heTe"
The stranger "clumb" without pro.
test, shedding his coat as he struck the
ground, and fight began. In about two
minutes he had used up the farmer and
was coolly replacing his coat.
"See here" said the man from Nankin
as he wiped his nose with burdock,
''you fight better than you did eight
years ago"

affair with you"

A Queer Character Gone.

John Talboy Binns, one of the most
noted characters that ever entered the
Philadelphia almshouse, died in that in
stitution Wednesday, aged SO years.
Believing himself to be a woman and
affecting woman's ways, he was dubbed
in the institution with the title Of Sal
lie" Blnns. He was admitted February
16, 1858, and was at that time Al years
of age. When young man he joined an
amateur theatrical club, and the height
of his ambition was to play female
characters. He became quite a
monomaniac on this subject, and
his infatuation at last took upon
itself a mid form Of insanity, and
for the greater part of his life he was
thus afflicted. A. all times and on all
occasions he believed himself to be a
dashing beauty, at whose feet scores of
ardent suitors knelt, and upon whom
society smiled with favor. Clad in
feminine attire whenever ball or con-
cert was given for the patients he was
the centre of attraction. At all times he
affected an effeminate voice in converse
ton, and acted in every respect ike one
of the female sex. The air OF woman
never deserted him, and everybody VINO
visited the house called on 'Sallle" and
purchased specimens of his handiWork'
considering it a rare curiosity as coming
from the hand of man who CONSIDERED
himself to be a woman.
