Touched His Vanity.

A dark-eyed beauty, with mouth like

ham, saddle-colored complexion, and
something sweet and assuring in her de-
meanor, walked into our den the other

Costly Stage Costumes.

Every frst-class theater IN New York
has an extensive wardrobe and cos
tuner for the male and also for the
o1her sex. The costumers attend 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 melo-
drama, however, or in tragedy, the cos
tuner attends to the apparel, and hence
theatrical wardrobe is very costly
affair. Sometimes the money thus in
vested equals $4,000. The dresses are
|smatle so as to be easily altered to fit
each performer and may consequently
be adapted for some other person.
The business Of letting oqt costumes
is'a speciality pursued by number o.
establishments, but the large tleaters
are not dependent on anything outside
of their own walls. Sometimes when
the guests of hal lnasoue are fitting
fdr the occasion they may obtain dress
EfrOal the wardrobe Of a theater, but to
do this requires unusual influence.
These dresses are OF course superior to
the ordinary stock of the costumer.
1nsilc the theatrical wardrobe room a
numbet of sewing operatives are con-
stantly busy making or altering dresses,
and this alone forms business of no
trifing amount, For all of this class
the present season affords close employ
ment. IA 81
While speaking on this subject one is
naturally led to theatrical costumes
generally, and Mr.. Horner, the costum-
er, informed me that dress for
Juliet" when finished in the highest
style, would cost from 81 500 to $4,000.
Other theatrical dresses would range
from 500 to$1,OO0. Mrs. Lander, who
takes hrst-class historical characters,
paid 81 800 for the the coronation robe
used in "Henry VIII" Theatrical
ladies' are obliged to wear fine dresses,
whether other needs are satisfied or not.

THE CITY.
st. NIary's School.

The workmsn are putting the finish
ing touches on the observatory Of st.
Mary's school building this week. The
floors are laid in the lower rooms and
the school furniture has teen received.
The latter is from the Michigan School
Furniture company, Worthwhile. The
plastering of the building will be de-
ferred until next season. 1t being
thought best to let the walls thoroughly
dry out before the plastering is put on.
The latest approved plans to secure
thorough ventilation of all the rooms
have been adopted. A convenient plan
of escape from the upper rooms in case
of fire has been secured. Only one room
in the second story will be put in shape for
occupancy the coming winter. The sis
ters to take charge Of the school are ex-
pected daily and it Is the intention to
open the school one week from next
Monday. 1t took 1000 brick to COM
plets the building and the design is very
neat and the building substantial one
and conveniently arranged for school
purposes and is larger and will accom-
modate more pupils than the union
school building in this district. The
grounds Of the school and church prop
erty are being graded and when the
work is all accomplished as designed.

Slanderous Work.

SANDER upon the mill owners Of Chsboy-
gan by the Ananias of ChebOygan when,
in telegraphing the result Of the election
in this county to the Detroit Free Press,
he went out of his way to SANDER them,
and at the same time cast an unjust re-
flection upon the intelligence and hon
esty of the workingmen of Cheboygan
county. 1t is needless to state who the
author of the telegram is, its ear marks
are too plain. The following is the tele-

feels thar a wider field of usefulness has
been opened to him.

them. On Thursday the boy was pssling

In 1876 and in 1880 there were as many,
if not more indications Of a strong Blaine
sentiment in almost every part Of the
country for months before the meeting Of
the conventions than there is now. The
admirers of Blaine are very aggressive,
and they therefore create the impression
that the Blaine sentiment is stronger
than it really is. However, it is
certain that no one Of those men
toned in connection with the Republican
Presidential nomination is at present
as strong as he is. From almost every
Northern and Western State come reports
that he is the favOrite. There Is no doubt
that he has a strong following in the
South. Notwithstanding his popularity,
however, there is not a strong probability
that he will be nominated. He IS not
strong enough in the South to secure
the delegation of any State, and
he cannot get enough delegations
from the North and West to give him
the nomination. lie may be strong
in the convention, but, as in the two pre-
ceding conventions, MS strength Will
not be sufficient for his success. IL he is
correctly reported he is not seeking the
nomination. There is not much doubt,
however, that he is a candidate. 1t is
probable that he may think that the
wiser course for him to pursue is to keep
as much in the background as possible.
Evidently Blaine does not put much de-
pendence in the newspaper reports of an
alleged overwhelming sentiment through
out the country in his favor. lie is poll
ticiaH enough to know that the hurrah
that is heard for a candidate to-day means
little more than that the crowd wants to
be amused, and that another candidate
NAV be the favOrite tomorrow.
