TIE THEATRE-SIIss GENE WE'VE
WARD.-The most realistic acting seen for
a long time on the Richmond stage was
presented last night to large audience
by Miss Ward and her company in the play
"Forget- Me-Not." All did well in their
several parts. Much OF the dialogue in the
first act was lost in consequence OF the
confusion created by those who came just
a little too late. This was much to be re-
GREETED, as it was prologue to the action
of the drama and necessary to clear I'M
derstandng Of the story. As might have
been expected, no applause was elected,
except at Miss Wards entrance, until the
scene between Stephanie and Sir Horace
in the second ACT reused the sympathieS OF
the audience. As the curtain fell hearty
applsuse rewarded the excellent acting.
In the third act the interest became inten-
sifed. The house was spell-bound, and
followed the portrayal Of the varied emo
tons in perfect sympathy with the actors.
Miss Wards scream when she meets the
murderers face to face in the passage is hor-
rible i'm its intense naturalness. When
there was so much that is good, it seems
inyidious to mention any one particularly,
but Mr.. Clements as Sir Horace, Mr.. Far
rem as the Prince, and the beautiful and
graceful Miss Burnett as Alice Verney, all
seemed TO feel their parts and know how
to express their feelings in the best manner.
The same drama will be repeated to-

Level Headed Oscar.

Who is this man with the long, thin
legs, the STOPPING shoulders and the
yellow, flowing hair? His name is
Oscar Wilde. One day when the super
intendent of a lunatic asylum was on
hunting>expedition in London he picked
up Oscar and took him before mag.
istrate who asked him his name.
''By the misty eyelids of the moon
cannot tell you," answered the prisoner.
mamma would not like it,
From that momenthe became famous.
For breakfast he sips the dew from
honeysuckles, and his dinner consists
of roast lily bugs favored with lavender
water. Half dozen sachet bags and
ten trunks constitute his baggage. The
trunks contain locks of hair which he
purchased cheap at Surrey rope walk.
No fashionable American girl will be
long without one. His soul yearns after
sunflowers. Give him his choice be-
tween sunfower and a greenback
and he will take the greenback. In
Chicago he is destined to be most popu-
lar-his feet are SO large. When he
returns to his native land loaded with
rocks his ''mamma'' will say to him:
''Oskie, the fortunes of the family are
much improved. / want new sealskin
sacque and dog Cart But the lily
worshipper will depart from her saying:
.Wel I should smile, what does the
old woman take me for?''
After that, no Englishman viii eat
more beef with his lilies, or drink more
beer with his sundowers than Oscar.

Hirad Girls.

If country girls who mediate a career
in the city would turn their attention to
domestic service, instead of thronging
the stores and workshops, mistress and
maid would be mutually benefited. 1t
is an employment that's healthier, more
respectable and better paid, than that of
factory or shop girls, and I believe
may truly add, more profitable than
dress or bonnet making or any sort of
sewing, and to my mind, quite as re-
spectacle. I honor all workers who do
their work well, no matter what it may
be, save that it is honest, useful work.
And so does everybody whose respect
and esteem are worth having. If there
is any reason why ''hired girls are i'm
bued with the idea that their occupation
is regarded as very inferior, it is solely
because they have been SO outrageously
ignorant, unskilled, and unfit for the po-
sition. Having occasion to employ a
maid to do very light work, advertised
for one, promising but two dollars a
week, but ga good home and kind treat
ment.'' There came upward of forty
applicants for the situation, and among
the number were several shop girls. I
remember one in particularly; she was a
very nice-looking young woman who
had been a clerk for several years in a
dry goods house at a salary of six dollars
q week. She found that her expenses
consumed all her earnings, that she
lived shabbily in boarding house, that
she had not really good society, and that
being so much on her feet and often
times in an impure atmosphere, was kill
ing her. She was heartily tired of it, and
looked forward to quiet home, in a
quiet family, with a greatsense of relief.
Then, too, in such a position she would
have no expenses but for her dress, and
at the most she could put half her earn
ings every year in the bank. Employers
know, if employees do not, that domes-
tic service is the best paid, comparative
ly, of any sort of work, and it is a mat
ter of wonder, as well as of surprise,
that so few American girls fit themselves
for such work. All occupations have
their unpleasant features, and those in
household service are often overmatched
by the disagreeable incident to any kind
Of untried business.

That Secondhand Rook.

A week or two ago bright and chatty
young woman called at a house on Cass
avenue and endeavored to make a sale
OF book entitled "Home and Mother"
The lady of the house received her in
the usual ten degrees below fashion and,
utterly refusing to look at the book,
she said: : ,
II haven't any money, and I know
that my husband wouldn't pay for it,
ut is book highly spoken of by the
press.''
eyes, I know, but my husband is
queer"
"And you see the superior style of
binding.''
II know, but my husband would call
it bosh and trash.''
ashanti call when he is at home?''
''That would be useless He wouldn't
even look at it, and he hates female
book agents.
''Does he?''
Eyes, he abhors them 1 know he
doesn't even treat them civilly when
they call at his office.''
lis that sop unused the girl, and when
she left the house, she for some reason
or other started right down town.
The lady of the house might have for
gotten the incident in five or six years
but for sort of climax. When herhus-
band came up to dinner he handed her
a copy of '::Home and Mother'' with
the remark:
Happened = see it as I passed a
secondhand bookstore, and thought
perhaps you'd like it.
"Yes-ah-but> Henry, a girl was
here trying to sell me this very book
not over two hours ago'' stammered
the wife.
"Was, Ell? Well, she probably got
discouraged, sold QUITO the secondhand
dealer and skipped the city. Is dinner
ready?''
Dinner was ready, but somehow the
wife had no appetite, and since that she
has fits of abstraction, glances suspic-
iously around at times, and has been
seen going in and coming out of second
hand bookstores. Detroit Free Press.

Qesspool Fever.

This is the fever that wrought 80 much
mischief in one of the Washington hotels
. few years ago. 1t is said by good
medical authorities to be fatal to many
persons every year in New York. The
fever is not severe. There is but little
headache and no pain or tenderness in
the abdomen, as in the case of typhoid
fever. Still the tongue is covered with
q white fur, and the appetite is bad. Its
chief characteristic is diarrhwa, acute in
some cases, but more generally chronic
and lasting months, or even years The
patient dies of simple exhaustion.
The disease is found wherever the con-
tents of cesspools and out-houses find
their way into the drinking water, or
their emanations into the air of sleeping
rooms. 1t is quite apt to prevail at our
summer health-resorts, the ignorance Of
proprietors more than neutralizing the
abundant hygienic provisions of nature.
Cases occur even among the White
Mountains and at our most famous wa
tering- places. At Martha's Vineyard,
last year, q friend stopped at one Of the
most acceptable houses on the island.
He states that two of the guests were
suddenly seized with summer sickness
soon after their arrival. 1t was found
on examination that the privy and the
we'll were only twenty feet apart, and
the we'll was quite deep one. The
contaminated water was probably the
cause of the sickness.
The son of a physician was taken with
the disease in virulent form at board
ing-school, and died on the third day af-
ter his father was summoned. The
young mans room was large and high,
and every thing about it seemed favora-
BILE to health. But it was found that
one of the windows opened into the YES
thule of a water-closet, used by from
seventy to one hundred persons, its only
ventilation being through Il pipe about
six inches in diameter, which emptied
into the chimney of the young mans
room. He was undoubtedly poisoned
and killed by the foul all.

The Missionary Society.

A gentleman gave party in honor of
distinguished missionary lately return
ed from his field of work. The ladies
appeared in very decollete dresses, and
as the host feared the style might shock
his reverence, he apologized to him for
it, saying that fashion demanded it.
''Oh, I don't mind it at ALL" replied
the missionary, Il have been ten years
among the savages.''

Freaks Of Gamblers.

Enough has been said about the super
stitions of gamblers to fill volumes, but
the subject will never be exhausted so
long as the passion for gambling exists.
Among the ''Gleanings from Monte
Carlo have recently appeared the fol.
lowing instances of the lunacy to which
gamblers are subjected:
"a well-known Italian Marchesa never
sits down without talisman in the
shape Of a tiny glass bottle hidden in
the palm of her hand and containing a
live insect: and one of the most indefa-
tigable votaries of roulette, Paris
banker, positively declined, few
months ago, to commence operations,
and returned to Nice, because ticket
bearing the number Twenty-Five had
been given him at the door in exchange
for his overcoat.
'Iast winter two habitues were talk
ing of a common friend of theirs, who,
one of them remarked, was in deep
atHiction on account of the death of his
only son.
Every sad, indeed,'' observed the
other: II conclude that you ascertained
the necessary particulars and profited
by them?''
Il did and I did not,'' replied the
first speaker; ''that is to say, found
out that the boy was Sugars old, and
that he died on November 80, at 6 o. clock.
Naturally I played pretty heavy on these
numbers-eight, thirty and six-one
after another, and then what do you
think hapened?''
''They came up, suggested his friend.
':Not they. That scoundrel of an en-
ployee-the thin one, you know, with
the hatchety face-actually brought up
twenty-seven, my pet number, three
times running, and, of course, was not
on it. Can you conceive anything
more unlucky?''
