a brother who jokes. The brother went

"Will you do me q favor?r said Mr..
Hughes. "My sisters baby died sud-
denly this morning, and I've been ar

"Thats him over there in the blue

pointing to "The Leper."
Hughes was going round at top speed,
putting ike grampus. The innocent
messenger stretched over the railing as
he passes, and said in a stage whisper:
"Mr. Hughes, the eoroner'll be up In
half an hour"
Hughes pulled up and glared at him,
and then got him by the color and
sent him flying.
HE nearly killed me-" complained
the messenger to Father Hughes
brother.
Dear me-" said Mr.. Hughes; "yeu
should have broken it to him gently"

Mesrs. Kelley & Hickey offer great in

building of large works and town. The
coal is easy of access, and can be mined at
considerable less expense than near our
great cities, which is an item to the manu-.
facturer. 1t would be as profitable loca.
ton as the great Spaulding Iron Works, at
Brilliant, and if iron manufacturers would
embrace their offer and locate here they
would be formidable competitors. The
citizens in the neighborhood would also
assist financially.

whether'ur not any one of these gentle-

say who that one was. No one has
the bulk of the vote, much less the
solid vote of this section. The ''stay-
iDg' qualities, popularity as a second
choice and other incidents of such a
contest will determine the choice. 1t
is unwise and impOlitic to make any
predictions further than it seems de-

come from this section. We trust and
believe that the members-elect will
consider the availability, the fitness
and deserts of each of the candidates,

worthy and who in the Senate will do
most credit to his State.

Theatrical Wardrobes.


Every firstclaSs theater has an extensive
wardrobe and costumer for the male aud
also for the other sex. The costumers at
tend to dressing the characters for the play,
and it is only stars who provide their own
outfit. The only exception is when men
appear in civilians dress, which, being in
the fashion of the day, may come from
their own tailors. In melodrama, however,
or in tragedy, the costumer attends to the
apparel, and hence theatrical wardrobe is
a very costly affair. Sometimes the money
thus invested equals $4,000. The dresses
are made so as TO be easily altered TO fit
each performer and may consequently be
adapted for some other person.
The business OF letting out costumes Is
specially pursued by q number Of
establishments, but the large theaters
are not dependent on anything outside OF
their own walls. Sometimes when the
guests OF bal masgue are fitting for the
occasion they may obtain a dress from a
wardrobe Of the theater, but to do this re-
quires unusual influence. These dresses are
of course superior to the ordinary stock of
the costuner. Inside the theatrical ward
robe room number of sewing operatives
are constantly busy making or altering
dresses, and this alone forms q business OF
no tritiing amount. For all OF this class
the present season affords close employ
ment.
While speaking on this subject one IL
naturally led TO theatrical costumes
generally, and Mr.. Homer, the costumer,
informed me that dress for Juliet, when
finished in the highest style, would cost
from 81 500 TO 5000. Other theatrical
dresses would range from 500 to 81, 900.
Mrs. Landers, who takes historical charac-
tiers, paid 81 500 for the coronation robe
used In Henry VIII. Theatrical ladies are
obliged to wear the dresses, whether other
needs are satisfied or not.
