Special Cable to the Commercial Gazette.
LONDON, October 27.--American wo-
manhood and the American stage may
we'll be proud of Mary Anderson. Her
great success in Parthenia was confirmed
tonight by an overwhelming triumph as
Pauline, Within few weeks she has
become the central figure Of dramatic in
terest, has vanquished Ellen Terry in her
own theater, and has brought to the Eng
lish drama fresh charm which il has long
lacked. She has by her beauty and win
ming manners so established herself in the
affections Of her London audience that
her departure will be mourned almost as
national calamity.
Nothing could exceed the brilliancy of
the audience gathered tonight at the
Lyceum Theater In the proscenium
box sat the Prince Of Wales, the Princess
of Wales and Prince Louis BAtteuberg.
The Prince Of Wales followed intently
every movement of the actress, while the
Princess wspt at the pathetic passages
The most Of the nobility now in town
were present, with the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts at their head, and the ju.
venile Lord Garmoyle (who is engaged 10
Miss Fortesque, the actress) bringing up
the rear. Mr.. Gilbert, the playwright,
sat majestic in his box, signifying by his
presence that he had forgiven the lowell
eat Of Galateas BARLEY Campbell occu-
pied box Immediately above the stately
Gilbert. Nearly all the Americans who
have not flown homeward madea point OIL
witnessing the triumph of their fair coun-
trywoman.
The general admission on all sides wai
that no more charming Lady of Lyons
was ever seen in England. When Pau.
line appeared in bell shaped dress, pecu
liar 10 the days of the French Directory
she was voted beautiful as Parthenia II
the chiffon Of o Greek maiden. Wher
she changed her costume, first TO a brown
riding dress and Rubens hat, then TO tn,
white satin Of a bride, loud murmers o
appreciation rang round the boxes.
In the performance Of the part, Mar
Anderson displayed all those fin0 quail
ties already known 10 the American play
goers. Her fearful appeals were some
, times drowned by the clamor Of Claud
Melnotte, played by burly actor, 70
miliarly styled Handsome jack Barnes
but in quiet moments her pathos touche,
all hearts. II was real pleasure 10 SO
how genuine was the applause at the enl
Of each act.
; When the play was finished, nobod,
left their seat till the actress appeared be
fore the curtain. Then arose the shout

Bill Nye's Cabinet.


have made a small collection Of
wild, western things during the past
seven years and have put them to-
gether, hoping some day when get
feeble, to travel with the aggrega-
ton and erect large monument of ko-
poets for my executors, and admins
traitors and assigns forever.
Beginning with the skull of old Hi
lo-J Jack-and-the- Game, Sioux brave,
the collection takes in my wonderful
bird, known as Walk-up-the Greek, and
another rara avis with carnivorous bill
and web feet which has astonished
everyone except the taxidermist and
myself. An old grizzly bear hunter-who
has plowed corn all his life and don't
know coyote from Maverick steer
looked at 1t last fall and pronounced 1t
"kingfsher;" said he had killed one
like it a year ago. knew he was pill
grim and stranger and that he had
bought his buckskin coat and bead
trimmed moccassins at Niagara Falls,
for the bird is constructed of an eagles
head. a canvas. back ducks bust and
feet with the balance sage hen and
bailed hay. .....
Last fall desired to add to my rare
collection large hornets nest. had
an embalmed tarantula and her proce-
lain-lined nest, and desired to add bo
these the gray and airy home Of the
hornet. l procured one of the large
size after cold weather and hung it up
in my cabinet by string. l forgot
about 1t till this spring. When warm
weather came. something reminded me
of it. l think it was hornet. He
logged my memory in some way and
called my attention to it. 1t seemed as
though whenever he touched me he
awakened in my memory-a warm
spot with red place all around it.
Then some more hornets came and
began to rake rake up old personalities.
remember that one of them lit ON my
upper lip. He thought 1t was a rose
bud. When he went away it looked
like a gladiola bulb. l wrapped wet
sheet around it to take out the warmth
and reduce the swelling so that 1 could
go throug the folding doors. and tell my
wife about it.
Hornets lit all over me and walked
around on my person. l did not dare
to scrape them off because they are 80
sensitive. You have to be very guard
ed in your conduct toward a hornet.
remember once when l was watch
ing the busy little hornet gathering
honey and June bugs from the bosom
of rose, years ago. l stirred HIM up
with a club, more as practical joke
than anything else, and he came and
lit in my sunny hair-that was whenI
wore my own hair-and he walked
around through my cleaning tresses
quite while, making tracks as large
as watermelon all over my head. II
he hadn't run out of tracks my head
would have looked like load of sum-
mer squashes. / remember / had to
thump my head against the smoke
house IN order to smash him, and / had
to comb him out with fine comb and
wear a waste paper basket for two
weeks for hat.
Much has been said of the hornet,bg
he has an odd. quaint way after all that
is forever new.
