Rapid Increase and Spread of the Opp
 position to the Western Union Mo-
 nOpOIy.
 RICHMOND, Va, July 20.-The announce ment of the pooling arrangement between the Bankers and Merchants, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Postal Telegraph and the Com mercial Cable companies meets with marked approval and gives general satisfaction throughout the South. The Southern Tele- graph company, which is part of the Bank CTS and Merchants combination, is already making a strong competition with the West ern Union for business in this section, and as it's lines are extended the prospect for cheap. CT rates becomes more apparent This com- pany's lines, which run from Washington to Richmond, thence to Norfolk, Lynchburg, Charleston and Savannah, have recently been extended and completed to Montgomery, Ala; and will soon be open for business at Macon, Ga., Selma, Ala, and other southern points. The material is also being rapidly accumulated for the further extension of it's lines to Mobile and New Orleans. Another branch is also being constructed from this city via the coast to Wilmington, N. O., Charleston, s. O., and intermediate points, with the prospect of ultimately reaching all important points in southeastern Georgia and Florida. The new company has received the most liberal patronage and hattering en- couragement from the southern public. This, coupled with the statement that the new pool will hasten the completion of it's south ern lines and produce consequent improve ment in service and reduction of rates, gives assurance that successful competition with the Western Union will soon be opened at all points, to the advantage of the general 1oub1ic

Calls Before the Curtain.

From the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.
 A dramatic critic remarked in a recent mo- tice that ''in serious dramas it is always a mistake to raise the curtain when it has once fallen at the end of an act," and herein the writer is correct. We would go further, and not even permit the actor or actress to come before the curtain, being sure that by these appearances out of the character illusion is sadly destroyed. If one believes in, and sympathizes with, an actor or actress in the character represen5ed, the mystery which surrounds tho artist should be scrupulously entertained to the very end of the play There should be nothing to remind the spec tator-as appearances before the curtain do remind him, and as he is reminded still more when he sees the actor in propria persona in the Very room where striking scene has been enacted-that the people of the drama are not what they professs to be, but merely players. The actor should give no sort of in dication that ne is aware an audience is pres ent until the curtain has finally descended: then he may cone forward and receive his reward, which VII be infinitely better de- served than if he had discounted it by half dozen previous appearances. Audiences are to blame, of course, but the actor should not give way to his audien>e. Madame Bern hardt, as Fedora, comes fo.ward out of the bed chamber, where she has been bending over vladimir's dead body, to boy, when, in answer to applause at the end of th. first act, the curtain is raised, and thereby a,e i'm measurably weakens the effect she has sro
 duced. Mir. Irving is to play Malvolio >n Tuesday, and Miss Terry is to play Viola. Are they too much the slaves of conventional ity to set good and wholesome fashion-to refuse to remind audiences that they are not Malvolio and Viola, but the manager of the theater and the leading lady9

THE CHOLERA.

Its Effect on TraveI-What a Tourist
 Agent Says of Our Birds of Passage.
 LONDON, July 20.-The views of a tourist agent on the subject of the cholera will in terest many American travellers. EEIt is al most impossible he said, Ito exaggerate the effects of this cholera outbreak in France. Besides the depression it has brought upon general business on the Continent its eff feet upon European summer travel, both commercial and holiday, has been simply enormous It is true that the present rush from the southern and eastern countries to Englend somewhat eompensates for the losses in the regular transportation eastward and southward. But the general effect of the cholera panic upon European travel has been disastrous.
 ssHow about the American travel ?' ''The number of Americans who have returned and arranged to return from the Continent to England is unprecedented for the time of year. The English Continental tourists have been the most thoroughly alarmed. These have nearly all returned home. The Ameri- cans may be divided into two classes-those who insist on keeping posted about current events through COIreSpoIIuouCo d1u hoWSpd- pers, and those who make their vacation 8 blank so far as the worlds troubles are con- cerned The former class have been nearly all scared back to England by the scourge. A few of them, however, have resolved to brave the danger and adhere as closely as possible to their vacation programme. These, added to the second class, make up pretty good total of Americans who persist in mak- ing the grand tour"
 ''The general result must be rather disas- trous to the Continental pleasure resorts!" 'Disastrousl Well, I should say so. There are many Continental resorts available with out risking any probable contact with the contagion, but even these are suffering from lack of patronage. But along the entire Riv- iera and throughout Italy and the entire East, nearly all the summer resorts have al ready been closed because of the entire lack of patronage The steamers to Turkey and Egypt are now sailing direct, without stop ping at any of the Mediterranean ports 3

Pearl Fishing in Scotch Rivers.

Pearl fishing in Scotland has much of the
 gambling excitement attended on the pearl diving of the East without the injury to health and the imminent danger from suffo- cation and sharks, which inpart a parlous emotion to that fearfully suicidal calling as practised off the coast of Ceylon, in the Per sian Gulf, and in the Bay of Panama. As followed in the Earn or Doon, it is in point of fact, as pleasant as trout-fshing during hot day, intimately more proftably in the worst of times, and to the hardy folks of the
 North accustomed to rough weather, bare feet, and mountain streams laying their legs,
 scarcely so risky to the constitution as land
 ing salmon is to the well-coddled citizen
 who is afraid of the wind blowing on him
 for eleven months in the year. and passes the
 twelfth wadingin the icy rivers north of the Tweed. Pearl-fshing is, moreover, profes-
 sion which requires no apprenticeship. Like
 reading and writing to ''Dogberry, D it ''comes
 of nature" to the humble hunters after for
 tune who have made Unio collecting their
 own. The art is simplicity itself. Elaborate
 apparatus is not demanded all the skill neces-
 sary may be acquired in an hour; and expe-
 rience avails little where there are no rules
 and scarcely any dogma to guide the manipu
 lator. All that is required is to search for
 the mussels nestling among the mud snd
 sand, seize them by the hand if the water is
 not deep or if beyond reach, insert long
 stick between their gapping valves, and then,
 when the shell closes, lift the obstinate mol
 lusk to the surface; or sometimes, should there
 be considerable number collected on one
 spot, by simply dropping split ended pole
 among them, and taking the chance of one
 being wedged into this rudely y-improvised
 trap It is, however, rare to find many to-
 gether. They must be sought for in ones and
 twos, and then tossed ashore, until heap
 worth opening is accumulated. There is, of course no calculation when mussel will or
 will not contain a pearl, or when the pearl
 will be of sufficient value to return a fair
 days wages for what the gem-seeker consid- CTS fair days work. About one in fifty or sixty is said to reward the toiler; but, as a rule, the pearls are small, dark, and are only
 ''seed pearls" which fetch a low price in the market, where they are bought chiefly for the purpose of placing at the back or other concealed parts of orient pearl ornaments. Some of the better specimens will, however, bring from e5 to e90-the latter possessing pleasing pink hue, which is permanent. Neck faces composed of this valued variety may now and then be seen iy the jewellers shops of Edinburgh and Glasgow, priced at from e300 to 9400. One pearl in every fourteenth or fifteenth shell is commonly said to return profit, and it is affirmed that those from shingly beds, or from the vicinity of lords where the sand is occasionally disturbed by horses or cattle hoofs, are most fruitful in the excrescenee for which the mussel is esteem ed

they do of the inquisitorial character, the nuisance and the horrors of the quarantine processes to which all travellers are subjected along all the southern Continental frontiers.
 The quarantines are probably driving back as many tourists as the plague. Take Venti- miglia, in northern Italy. There were, at last accounts, 2,000 travellers imprisoned there under quarantine. The rich, the com mercial travellers and the poor emigrants were all huddled together like animals of a common breed On Lake Maggiore the steamers were prohibited by the zealous au- thorities from carrying travellers. The hotel keepers and boat owners in despair refused to respect the prohibition, and the military have been placed in possession of the lake to sup press travel upon it."
 F'Is France improving?'' fT fear not. The city of Toulon, despite the almost inces- sant work to make it sanitarily habitable, still remains almost indescribably filthy. The heat there has been terrible and the atmos- phere moist and humid. In the work of renovating the town an old sewer has been discovered running right under the chief hos pital of the city. This sewer reeked with filth and had been untouched for three years past. Ten of the workmen who were en- ployed to open it when it s@as found were overpowered by the escaping stench and fainted'
 ''How about Englanda" 'srhere has been & revival of uneasiness in England since the arrival Tn the Mersey, rom Marsellles, of the French steamer Saint Dustan with cholera from the malady during the trip from Marseilles has evidently shaken the public faith in the efficacy of French quarantine methods and intensified public fear. gen eral outcry has been raised against the made quacy of the methods pursued against the Saint Dustan. The craft has been simply isolated and disinfected. But the ship is in England, and it is feared that cholera germs have passed out from her and may be even now floating around seeking places for effect ual lodgment.

 NEW YORK, N.

Chairman Rowe had scarcely called the meeting to or der when several of the delegates jumped to their feet and began bitter tirade against Governor Cleveland John Ennis of the Plasterers' union and Patrick Logan, an ex- policeman, denounced the Governor in the strongest terms as foe and enemy of the working classes. Several persons tried to interrupt the speakers and at one time it seemed as if a general fight would take place. The confusion Was increased by delegate moving that the organization be called the Irish Catholic Blaine and Logan association. After the chairman had succeeded in restor- ing order committee of one from each as sembly district was appointed to effect a permanent organization and to elect officers.

Their pastime was stopped however, by Detectives, Granger and . Jones, who took ten of them to the armory

 BALTIMORE, Md, July 20.-The disrepu- table portion of North street, right in the heart of the city, was the scene last evening of a terrible tragedy, which resulted in the instant death of one abandoned woman, and the fatal wounding of another. The murder ed woman was named Jackson, of respecta- ble family living in Long Island City, N. Y. She was married there but left her husband about two years ago and began the career which ended yesterday. She had once been very beautiful, and as she lay cold in death on a bed in disorderly house many traces of former beauty were visible. Her murder CT is George w Hazeltine, of Jamestown, N.

Sudkamp was man nearly six feet tall with fair hair and moustache and about thirty years of age. He was an employe of the Tobey Manufacturing company and had been living with the girl for some months. Great mystery surrounds not only the cause of the double tragedy, but the identity of the victims. The landlady of the house knows that the murdered girls parents are dead and is of the opinion that Sudkamp killed her in fit of jealous rage. Sudkamp was anxious to marry Ada, but she persistently refused. He was very lavish with his money and they lived together in handsomely fur nished apartments. The bodies are now at tba Too,rT,a
