MONsIGNOR CAPEL said to an inquirer
in Philadelphia the other day: 81 wish you
would inform people that my name is not
Cappelle, but Cay-ple. You don't talk
about Cappelle street. Dublin, do you?
It's an old Norman name, the family name
of Lord Essex, and has been in the coun-
try long enough to be pronounced rightly
PROF. GREGORY, Of the Civil Service

ment in support of that body at the West
and South, and is entirely satisfied with
its workings up to the present time. He
saws the stories charging department
officers at W Washington with evading the
rules of the Commission are entirely false.

A FEW DAYS AGO two crevices sud
denly opened in the earth southwest of
Tezontepec, Mexico. The crevices have
a length of over five hundred yards with
an average width of three inches. An
Indian. who was on thSgrOund when 1T
parted. said that a distinct subterranean
rumblng was heard. The creyices run
crOsswise of a creek, and all the waters
of the stream are absorbed in the opening.
A rope of 100 feet in length has been let
down in the chasm without finding bot
tom.
A WESTERN MAN has a project for pro-
viding New York with a highly desirable
summer resort. Aware that the nearest
mountain is too far away to be reached by
daily trips, and that thousands of bust
ness men cannot be absent except at
night, he proposes to build an artificial
eminence. On site yet to be chosen, but
probably on the seashOre of Long Island,
with an elevator running up to big
hotel. All that he lacks is money, of
which he guesses that he will require
$1,000, 600.
\ RELIGIOUS agitation of very singu-
lar character is manifesting itself in some
counties of the Grand Duchy of Finland.
The new heretics call themselves the
''Pure by Excellence" and profess the
superiority and supremacy of woman,
who must control the family. In every
house where the new doctrines are prac-
ticed a woman, elected by her cOmpan-
ions, is invested with sort of directing
power. which gives her the right to in
flict pennance and even rigorous chastise-
ment. The new creed requires that all its
disciples shall confess their sins to GER
tain women at least once week.
ALTHOUGH high prices have been paid
for a few plays to their French authors, as
a rule, there has been little or no compen-
sation for American or English use. A
conspicuous example is "The Two Or
phans," out of which several fortunes
have been made in this country, without
a dollar going to D'Ennery. The drama
lists of Paris, having learned that if they
do not publish their pieces in France they
cannot protect them against piracy here,
have combined with view to protect
their property. They not only propose to
fix their own prices, but will insist upon
their names being advertised here, so that
mere translators cannot get credit as au-
thOrs.
EARLY WALKERS on Columbus avenue,
Boston, last Sunday morning, were some
what startled by the occupant Of a lower
window in an apartment hotel. The cur
tain was drawn up and, sitting in the
summer breeze was a lovely three-year-
old boy without a rag on him. He calm
ly surveyed the scene with all that deli
ciOus uncOnsciOusness peculiar to his
youth, and evidently unaware of the inn
mense sensation he was creating among
piOus people returning from early mass,
or Fastening to take the boats down the
harbor. 1t is presumed he got a sound
spanking when discovered by the nurse
whose vigilance he had managed to
elude.
AN AMERICAN student at Gottingen,
The son Of prominent New York clergy
man, unintentiOnally gave Offense to three
German students by brushing against
them in hurrledly passing along the street.
They went on few steps, then came back
and insisted on having satisfaction for the
insult: he must fight duel with one of
their number. He declined, saying: II
am an American, | do not fight" But
they repeated. 1--WE must have Satistac-
ton" He replied, ''WeIl, if you must,
you can have it," and, throwing OFF his
coat, went at them with his fists. He
knocked all three down and one of them
rolled in the gutter. Then, putting on his
coat, he walked away. Somewhat be-
wildered over the situation, the three
German students picked themselves up
and went their way. The American was
not afterward challenged to fight duel
nor otherwise molested.
Miss CHANIBERLAIN, of Cleveland, who
is figuring in London as a beauty, is de-
scribed by Eliza Wethersby, who happen
ed to meet her in a gathering Of the Prince
of Wales set, as about as pretty as ten
per cent. of all American girls. She had
rather a captivating way about her,
''Oddly combining a spirituelle, Margue-
rite air with the peculiar dash and conf
dence common in Yankee girls" 1t was
evening, and the light was electric, so that
every bit of artificiality was made clear
by the glare. Her face was painted like
wax work. The red of her cheeks stood
out like daubs. Her features were small
and regular, her figure tall and well
shaped, and her bearing free and uncon-
strained She was dressed in good taste
a white Grape costume embroidered with
silver. Il heard her in conversation with
the Prince" the actress adds, "and she
was delightfully."- free from any manner of
todyism; she seemed to treat him with
barely respectful Difference. Her voice is
musical, and she manages it bewitching-
ly."
