wARDRo5Es AT THE THEATRES.
stage Costumes Tint Cost From 9TO0 20 n
Much MS SO 900.

Every first-class theatre has an extensive
wardrobe and eostumer for tine male and
also for the other sex. The costumers at
tend to dressing the characters for the play,
aud ii is only stars who nroYide their own
outfits. 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 eostumer attends to the apparel,
and hence theatrical wardrobe is very
costly affair. Sometimes the money thus
invested equals $4,000. The dresses an,
made SO az to be easily altered to fit each
performer and may consequently be adapted
for some other person. RF'N1
The business of letting out costumes is q
speciality pursued by number of establish
ments, but the large theatres are not de-
pendent on anything outside of their own
walls Sometimes when the guests of q bal
masque are fitting for the occasion they
may obtain dress from the wardrobe of
theitre, but to do this requires unusual in-
nuence. These dresses are of course super.
Tor to the ordinary stock of the costumer.
Inside the theatrical wardrobe room num-
Der of sewing operatives are constantly busy
making or altering dresses, and this alone
forms business of no trifiing amount. For
all of this class the present season affords
close employment. 4
While speaking on this subject one is nat
urally led to theatrical costumes generally,
and Mr.. Horner, the costumer, informed me
that dress for Juliet, when finished in the
highest style, would cost from 81 800 to
$1,000 Other theatrical dresses would
range from $7oo to $1,000. Mrs. Lander,

A Sensational Scene at a Funeral.

Washington Special: The Rev. DR..
Blanchard, of Wheaton, H., created a
curious sensation here recently while
officiating at q funeral. A M. Ford. who
was a member of many secret societies.
died. His father was greatly opposed to
secret societies, and is a member of the
National Christian association, whose
object is to destroy secret societies.
Ford had threatened to disinherit his
daughter-in-law if she permitted the ise.
cret societies to bury him. AS she wonid
have been utterly destitute without his
aid, she acceded to the request. and
Blanchard was asked by the father to Of
nclate. He commenced a TRADE against
secret societies, and speedily drove the
crushed widow into Mysteries, and was
soon forced to discontinue his sermon
and leave the church by the Indignant
denunciations of the audience. The sar.
vice was concluded by the regular mas
tor. Mr.. Blanchard afterward statad
that he was the candidate of his a%ssor;o.
ton for the presidency, but that he
might retire in favor of ex-senator Pom.

The Peril of Dark Parlors,

rFOIu Tile IuilduelpQ18 lines.
The acquittal of Dukes is only a new
and more striking evidence of the fail
ure OF the jury system. The crime itself
is of far more serious import. 1t reveals
an alarming danger in the very wool of
our social life. This was no vulgar crime,
the natural outcome of the criminal sur
roundings. The criminal was a member
of the bar, in good standing, a member
elect of the legislature of this great Com
mouwealth. He invaded, betrayed and
traduced a family who we're honorable,
industrious respected members of soci-
ETY.; a family who might almost have
been cited as representative of the pur-
est and best American life.
What is it that makes such actions and
allegations possible in respectable
American society? A pungent news
paper paragraphist gave II Of the phe-
nomena of this new social development
when he declared the moral Of the
Dukes affair to be no more counting in
dark parlors.
The freedom allowed to our girls is in
some respect admirable; it develops
character, self-reliance and perhaps a
certain fearless innocence; but this com
mendable freedom is quite compatible
with Q certain amount of guidance and
control on the part of parents. 1t is not
the innocent freedom of intercourse be-
tween young girls ana young men which
is at fault here; it is something deeper
than this; it is the premature relaxing Of
authority and guidance on the part of
parents and guardians.
1t is useless to assume that independ-
ence fits these young people to solve,
without guidance, the problem of their
social relations. Boys and girls who
could fully foresee the consequences Of
such apparently innocent pastimes as
Notwithstanding, drinking with COM
rades, flirting in dark parlors, etc,
would be uncomfortable monstrosities.
What is the use of the sad experience
which brings wisdom to parents, if it is
not to serve them in guiding their off
spring? 1t is said that the constantly
changing social status in this country
renders parents unfit for such guild
ance, but it is one Of the redeeming fea-
lures of all such moral problems that
they are the same in all social conditions.
The rules of societies may differ, but the
common sense of the mother is the
same. Dark parlors for girls the streets
at night for boys, are fraught with the
self-sane perils.

thsyI would say thattAe mGoitY Of ihe
unions which have gone to the board,
were forced to do so through the care

Laggardism is carelessness and scarslessa

falling to attend meetings and pay dues

hundreds Of unions to-day. 1t proves
contagious, for few men, be they ever
SO much interested in the cause of labor,

Henry George delivered a lecture upon
the above subject, in New York City, one
evening last week, before alarge and
fashionable audience in the rooms of the
Ethical Culture Society. He argued that
slavery had not been abolished in.this
country but still existed under a differ
ent arrangement which virtually placed
the modern Alaoes at disadvantage, in
asmuch, as their masters are not now
under any obligations ito take. care of
them as under the old system. '"What
is the use" asked the lecturer, "of emf
powering a man Of placing piece ofpa-
per in box once a year, and in solemn
nockery telling him he is free man and
may aspire to the proud privilege Of be-

The Gigantic Struggle.

There is no use of belittling the inn
pending struggle for which the new po-
litical forces must soon prepare. 1t can
not be made light or easy it cannot be
won by 'aoud cheering" There is too
much at stake on bo th sides for that.
1t is as weakening to indulge in the
notion that the adversary will be easily
driven from the field as in the notion
that the issues at stake are of slight &C.
count. 1t keeps you from taking the
necessary steps to success, and leads to
diseouragements when the difficulties of
the work are brought to view. The
commander who undertakes the re-
sources of his enemy is beaten in ad-
vance. III e.
The adversary is not to be easily fright
ened. 1t is not worth while to make
faces at him. He has been through too
many hard campaigns, he has carried
too many fields, to care for mere fanfar-
onade.
The adversary won't let you make the
work light. He has too much to lose or
to win. He has too hard a grip on
things, He knows too well what failure
would mean. .Heis full Of audacity, the
triple audacity which Mirabeau said was
the price of victory. o. 3.
The tremendous forces under his con-
troll are the ground of his audacity. He
has the force Of capital, hundreds of
millions of which are in his hand. He
has the force of his mercenaries, tens
Of thousands of whom are at his beck.
He will try to grasp the forces Of law,
which he has so often WELDED in his
interest. He will lay hold of his forces
in the legislature, ever ready to listen to
the voice of the doodle" He will make
use of his forces in the press, which are
always waiting for the wink which is as
good as a nod to blind horse.
These are his forces, and others not
seen in the daylight. These things are
to be confronted when the new political
agencies take the field.
1t is not at all discouraging; for, on this
side, under our political system are forces
before which his are "but as the reed be-
fore the weayers beam"
