The expression "on the Rialto," in CON
nection with theatricals, is frequently seen
in the public prints, and 1t is used notably
by those journals that devote their en-
tire space to what they are pleased to term
the advancement of the dramatic profess
sion. How the expression originated is not
known Possibly 1t emanated from the
genius of omeimpoverishcd actor. who was
not unlike Antonio in the "Alerchant of
Venice and while striking brother
actor for monied loan, remembered the
familiar lines spoken to Antonio by the pc
nurious shylock, which begin:
"Signor Antonio, many time and Oft
In the RialtO, you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances.'
The "Rialton is situated on the south side
of Fourteenth street, Union Square, and the
place where the actors most do cougregate
is about the entrance to the Union Square
Theatre and the doorway leading into the
adjoining hotel. Here many engagements
are made between irresponsible managers
and bad actors, whose principal occupation
seems to be to chat with their brother actors
ard carry dramatic paper in their pockets
as n delicate hint to the passers-by that they
belong to what they call the ''perfesh.n The
better class of professional men are seldom
seen there and with their chums never loiter
around that neighborhood The "Rialto''
on Union Square as it is now, is presented
above and within the past year 1t has been
given almost entirely to variety actors. The
new ''Rialton is situated ON Broadway, be,
tween Thirtlcth and Thirtyfirst streets, and
the centre Of gravity is the Biiou Opera
House. Within the six months just passed
the new "Rialton has made such consider
able degree of advancement that IL is now
attracting the attention of the entire pro
fesson. Opposite the Biiou is Wallack'.
Theatre and on the block below can be seen
the formidable pillars that support the
entrance to Days Theatre. On the block
below Days are two theatres, the Comedy
and the Fifth Avenue. Further uptown on
Broadway, at the corner of Thirty-nintl
street, are located the Casino and the Met
ropolitan Opera House. Where such q
large number of theatres are established il
such close proximity to one another, and
employ together enough people to start {
regiment, it is quite natural that after AZ
evenings performance the members Of the
different companies should meet and GOSSIP
on Broadway, which is the most popular
thoroughfarc in New York. In front OF the
Bijou Opera House can be seen In the after
noon many of the most prominent actors
in the profession who are playing engage
ments IN this city. During the winter there
are not MS many actors in the neighborhooC
of the BiiOu us in the summer, About Oct
the theatrical year begins and there are il
consequence many deplctiOns from the
ranks of the profession in New York. Ac
tors and actresses make their engagements
for the coming year during the summer
months, and by October are pretty fairly
under way "On the road On May thcsl

For the benefit of suffering humanity, deem
II only my duty to give this unsolicited tcSti-
mony In favor of Swift's Specific. My wife
has been afflicted with Eczema from infancy.
We tried every known remedy, but to no avail.
She was also afflicted with u periodical ner
yous headache sometimes followed by an in
termittCnt fever, so that her life became n
burden to her. Finally determined To try
Swift's Specific. She commenced seven weeks
ago. After taking the first large bottle the
disease seemed to Increase: the burning, itch
Ing and inflammation became unbearable.
She, however perseyered In the use of the
medicine After taking the second bottle the
Inflammation began to subside. After the
third bottle the inflammation disappeared, and
the sore spots dried up and turned white and
scaly, and finally she brushed them off in an
impalp0ble white powder resembling pure
salt. She is now taking the sixth bottle; every
appearance of the disease Is gone, and her
flesh is soft and white as child's. Her head
aches have disappeared and she enjoys tho
only good health she has known in 10 years
No wonder she deems every bottle of S. $, s.
Is worth a thousand times its weight IN gold
Any further information concerning her case
will be cheorfully given by herself at her resi-

Mr. j. NJ. Hill, who will give q magnn-

at the Union Square Theatre next week, is
greatly disappointed that Miss Anderson
has decided to open in GAS You Like IT,"
instead of "Romco and Juliet which IL
was announced only a few weeks ago

confident that his revival of the play would
have exceeded that Of Miss Andcrson's in
scenic effects. Mr.. Hill speaks very highly
of his star, Miss Margaret Mnthcr, who will
make her debut in New York as inlet.
The scenic arrangements Of the production

A new York Hcrald's special from Con-
stantinople says: A Turkish statesman
said to your correspondent the other day:
"Why should England have applied to
italy rather than to US when the aid of for
eign soldiers was required? No; it is evil
dent that Gladstone will have nothing to
do with us, and yet he is very wrong, for
the Caliph's spiritual influence on the side
of England in Egypt would immensely in.
crease her strength. Turkey has done no
harm to Englands interests, while France
and Germany have done much, and Rus
sia is only watching for chance to do
more injury than either. Had the British
Government but sought our aid in the be-
ginning all the bloodshed and expense
might have been spared. He who rules in
Upper Egypt must exercise authority over
Soudan, as in that country lies the source
of a life-giving element, without which
Lower Egypt would be desert"

The Queens Message.

In the English House of Lords Earl
Granville presented the Queens message,
calling out the reserve and ordering the
embodiment of the militia, in view of the
necessity of the defense of Egypt and the
protection of The empire. Her Majestv's
message consists of two portions-one or
dering out the reserves, and the other the
embodiment or calling out of the militia.
The reserves are soldiers who have COM
pleted their first term Of service (six years.
with their colors, and are then allowed to
retire to civilian life. They are always
liable, however, to be summoned, in case Of
to serve another term of six
years with their regiment. They receive
as retaining fee sixpence day. The
militia is an entirely distinct body. They
need not necessarily ever have been in the
army. They form the third line of the
national defense, the volunteers forming
The fourth.
