Htb Dramas In New YORK Home.
Mr., Henry Guy Carleton, writes Keller
in the New York World, has given up his
residence in Washington, and will hereafter
mako New York his homo. mot him the
other day and found him quite enthusiastic
over new domestic drama that he Is writ
ing for one of our best and most popular
stock actors. 81 am writing this play"
he said, 'in the odd moments that catch
from the melodrama that am finishing
for Mr.. Henry Irving 1 find that by
changing from one play to another can rest
myself without losing any time. By this
means am able TO keep three plays on the
stocks at once, and none of them inter-
fere with tho others. l have the Irving
work 30 near completion that hope to be
able to Eend it to him this month. The
emotional drama that am writing with
Mr.. Richard Weightman of Washington is
progressing favorably. You know that the
heroine ofathis play has a trace of negro
blood in her veins, but it is SO remote as TO
be ipdiscoverabe She is not aware of it
herself, and the secret comes out after her
marriage to an aristocratic Southerner, who
has welded her in the belief that she is
white. Weightman wants to have the
husband overlook this, and, therefore, end
the work with happiness for all the charac-
tiers. think, however, that the prejudice
against miscegenation is too great in this
country to warrant any such conclusion,
and propose to kill the heroine us the only
way out of the difficulty. This may be
cruel, but drop of African blood in a
white woman's veins is like black stripe
down bay mules back-it can be wiped
out by death ouly"

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
Some OF the Strange Phenomena OF
the Denth.Hed.


"Many people," writes correspondent
Of the philadelphia North american from
New York, "are deceived by optical illu-
sions. On recent morning looked into
my brothers. room and saw him standing
at his dressing.case. Then l remembered
that l had heard him 90 down stairs,
and / said to myself: This is an optical
illusion. Knowing that it was such,
looked at tho figure until IL slowly faded
away. Let me add that / am in good
bodily health, cheerful aud, l believe
sound in mind. A friend who died lately
said in her last hours, when apparently
she was RATIONAL that she saw her dead
parents and brother In her room. She
exclaimed, addressing the friends who
stood at her bedside: There they are,
right there. Cant you see them p re-
peat that, as far as any one could judge,
she was thoroughly conscious. But we
will pass over her case, for it is not ex-
ceptiODal, and while we can not say she
was delrious neither can we affirm posi-
lively that she had her senses.
"But here, think, Is an unusual form Of
ptical Illusion, II IL was an Illusion at all.
A few days ago well-known business man
Of New York passed away. His widow is
n clear-minded and educated lady, without
any morbid or superstitious faint in her
nature, or any belief in sprtualisnl. While
bending over her husband shortly before
his death she observed that the expression
Of his face was changing, and the next
moment saw there, instead, the dead face
of her brother. The two men were entirely
unlike in appearance, one being light and
having blonde beard. and tho other very
dark. Shortly afterwnrd the lady saw on
her husbands face the expression of an
other deceased friend, and little later
that Of third. Her morbid and over
wrought fancy deceived her, some one
says. Could two persons be deceived at the
same time and in the same way? ask this
because three years ago this lady and her
sister watched beside the dying child Of
the latter. The little girls face suddenly
changed. One Of the ladies saw that the
other observed this and said:
Emily, who was TIP
Adelaide was the answer.
"'Yes, Adelaide
"Tho two ladies have told me that they

cousin, woman, shining out through the
face of the dying child. offer no expls-

them only because to me they seem very
interesting"
