A Son Who Supports His Mother and Sister

ssIn these days of actor scandals and
female frisksomeness on the stage, 1t is
a great comfort for me" said an Ole
manager the other night Ito know that
now and then an actor can be a gentle
man. live like gentleman, and do ms
whole duty to his family and society.
The Chicago Herald writer addressed
looked inquiringly at the speaker, ana
yentured a remark that there had not
been an actor or actress divorced in at
least two days, SO far as the dispatches
knew. mo, there hasn't, | believe, .
was the reply: "but I wouldn't bet OF
your dispatches tonight"
The manager went on in much the
some strain. and then said: do you
know Mike Kennedy of the Private
Secretary company? Now, that fellow
is a model man. He is good actor, and
ALWAYS makes fine living He was
never married and declares he never
will marry. Do you know that man
has supported his mother and sister ID
Baltimore for all the years he has been
on the stage? When he was with
Hooley some years ago he saved enough
to buy his mother neat little house IN
Baltimore. and there they have lived
ever since, Rain or shine, good luck or
bad luck. Nike has never failed for
over eight years to send his mother and
sister s25 week. That is theirs. Ihey

some of this salary is wind and some on

and Secretary Hart, Of St. Paul, On the
subject of prison reform. J. T.

DR.. Dana. the first speaker, advocated
the cooperation of the clergy of all de-
nominations with the Workingmen LII
the work which has proven so beneficial
in several smaller prisons in this
country to those throughout England
He also presented statistics showing
the lamented increase of criminals
during the past thirty-fve years,
showing the beneficial effects OF the
system over there. Secretary Hart
then arose, and touching the question
of convict labor, showed the injuries,
not only to honest labor but to the con-
yicts themselves. He stated that under
the existing law regulating the erection
of a second prison in this State direct
competition with the stonecutters will
be the result. He said: eff the work

terests, they will work for a change in
the law which will provide for the

The Evils Of Assisted Emigration,

During the last fiscal year the
Dominion Government has spent over
$3.50 900 on immigration. Agents were
maintained at various ports III Britain
and the continent whose duty 1T was TO
attract the attention of intending emil
grants toward Canada, and even TO
offer inducements to settle In that
country to those who we're not anxious
to emigrate. Guide books were dlstrlb-
uted everywhere containing glowing
accounts of the condition of atfalrs IN
the Dominion and of the facility WIN
which competency could be acquired
there The passage money OF those
consenting to emigrate was at least IN
part supplied wherever necessary by the
generous Ottawa Government at the
expense of the people, and as conse-
uuence a considerable number OF emil
grants were landed on the banks OF the
St. Lawrence.
But the Canadian workingmen are
now insisting that all this business
shall be stopped. They point out that
even in the years just passed destltu-
ton has prevailed to considerable ex-
tent among them, and that the coming
winter threatens to be extremely dull,
and likely to witness still greater sur
fering. And they protest emphaticaily
against the crime of croWding foreign
labor into an already oyerstocked
market. and at the cost of the people
whom such a proceeding Injuries. They
warn intending eInigrants OF the hard-
ships and suferings which await them,
and urge them to remain away il they
wish TO escape want
One of the principal objects which
the British government has IN view IN
retaining it's colonial possessions ana
endeayorfng to increase their number
is that they, by holding out induce
ments to eInigrants, may attract from

therefore, her ministers and their colo

necessity of putting stop to this Brit

John Mccullough.
readily be solo

In the death of John Mccullough the
stage loses one of it's most conspicuous
figures. Critics may differ as to the
abilities and accomplishments of Nc
Cullough as an actor, but the lndisput-
able will always remain that he attained
the topmost round of the hiStrionlc
ladder by the exercise of an individual
ity that is wonderful in the light OF
what it accomplished This generation
has acknowledged three towering heads
of the drama-Booth, Mccullough and
Barrett. In specific lines Mccullough
was the peer of Booth and the superior
of Barrett, as judged by popular opin.
ion. Such a career as McCullough's
should awaken the fires Of ambition in
the soul of every actor in the land. His
beginning was the lowest and his
achievements the most brilliant. Nor
will Mccullough be remembered alone
as an actor. His deeds as a man have
endeared him to thousands Of hearts,
and his honesty and generosity compel
an admiration as sincere and abiding
as that awarded to his talents. While
his death may be regarded as a boon IN
that it relieved him from the curse OF
madness, that madness must be held a
calamity TO both the stage and the
world.-Dramatic News.

Between the Irish question" and the
disestablishment Of the Church OF
England the political parties OF Eng
land are at loss which way to turn.
Parnell and his followers have gained a
point in one thing at least-namely
the admission from the lips Of at least
one English notable the smouldering
contempt in which Gladstone is held,
In a speech favoring the candidature OF
Mr.. Stanley, at Taunton, Archdeacon
Denison said: II have known Mr..
Gladstone for forty-fiye years, and
would not trust him with a brass farth-
ing.n In the course OF his speech a
large number of the audience began
cheering for Gladstone, whereupon the
venerable and dignitied archdeacon
hotly replied: ''You might as well
cheer the devil as Gladstone" Both
the Conservative and Liberal leaders
have been doctoring for some time on
the ailments Of Ireland, and there is no
doubt that the old adage When doctors
disagree ETC., viii prove itself true in
this case.

Had the genial manager Of the Grand
Opera House, Mr. j. T. Conklin, been
in league with Parnell and his colleagues
he could not have done more to enlist
the sympathy of the American public
in the struggle against the vlllianous
despotism of England, than was accom-
plished by the engagement Of the unri-
vailed Modjeska. Out Of her repertoire
came MARY Stuart, T" from which a par
allel may be drawn with the cause Of
to-day. What Bess endeayored to ac-
complish by the death of the Queen of
Scots--namely, strike a blow to that
faith which she loved dearer than life,
as well as to gain control of the unfor
tunate ones rightful possessions, Eng
land is trying to grasp from Ireland by
depriying her people of their inalienable
right to govern themselves. Queen
Mary--for no historian can doubt her
title suffered and died rather than sub
NIT; but with Ireland, her people have
gained one point-religious freedom
and are on the eve of accomplishing the
other. At the close of this fight Eng
