Stuart Robson's Mistake.

While Robson and Crane, the con
edians, were playing an engagemer
in this city recently, they made up
party of a dozen actors, among whol
were several stars besides themselves
who were playing at other theatres. t
visit the Forrest Home for Aged Ac
ors, at Holmesburg Stuart Robso
originated the scheme, and acted 9
pilot to the party. After he had mad
some inquiries as to the location of th
home, the party went to the Broa
street station and boarded a train fc
Holmesburg junction. On alightins
Robson led the way mp the maple grow
lane that leads to the home, but il
stead Of turning to the left he ker
straight ahead. After the party ha
walked about three-quarters OF a mill
Robson stopped in front of handsom
brown-stone mansion, with beautifully
appointed grounds, supposing it to I
the Forrest home. 252' A~

The colored man looked at the dus

''I'll 60 call him. He's in the fid

The band of actors were left standi|
in the hall, and they remarked to d
another that the hospitality of the hol
was rather freezing. The colored MI
had been absent about fifteen mi
utes, when Robson said;
"This is damned awkward, BOY

Nosfng Out q Patriot.

The New York World may be doing q
noble work in raising 100000 for the Bar
tholdi statue pedestal, but it is STOPPING to
some very small devices in accomplishing
that object. The truth Of this statement
is amply demonstrated in the case of res
ident Of Jersey City, which only goes to
show what man must necessarily undergo
to have his name appear in the columns OF
the World as patriot among the so-clalmed
tremendous circle of the Worlds readers.
The World wants one hundred men to sub
scribe $3.50 each toward the $lOO, 600
needed. Among others who offered to sub
scribe this amount is Mr.. Thomas j. Cur
tice of First street, this City. The World
of course did not know him, SO one of its
correspondents was detailed to find out all
he could as to Mr.. Curtice's responsibility.
OF course the ambassador could not go to
Mr.. Curtice's house, ring the bell, be ush-
cred in the parlor and deliberately ask him
if he was worth $3.50, and he was in an en-
barrassing position all around, SO he
thought he'd go up and take a look at the
house. It was large and attractive, and be
made up his mind that the man who lived
there ought to be able to cover $3.50
check. Then he went nosing among the
neighbors to find out whether Mr.. Curtice
owed any butcher bills, and found out that
Mr. Curtice is gentleman of means who
came to this city from the South. At the
end OF his nosing expedition he reported to
the World that Mr. Curtis was good, but
at last accounts his name had not yet ap.
peared in the World.

A wealthy experimental farmer of Sus-
sex County, named Couplin has on his
farm trout pond arranged with gates by
which the water may be changed as frc-
quently as necessary. Recently some ras.
cal living in the vicinity let off the water
and helped himself to a number of choice
trout. He didn't know enough to fill the
pond again and when the owner got up he
discovered the outrage, Saying nothing
he filed the pond and attached to the gate
wire which he connected to bell in his
bedroom. A few nights after the bell
rang. Taking shotgun Mr.. Couplin
went out to inspect. The pond-gate was
open and beside it stood man waiting for
the water to run off. Couplin raised his
gun and fred. The report was followed
by yell, and the man ran off faster than
the water. Couplin shut his pond and
went home. The next day doctor report
ed that he had been hastily summoned
during the night to attend one of Couplin's
neighbors who had shot himself It took
him an hour to pick the shot out. The
victim said it was an accident, but the doc
tor thought it very queer, as all the shot
were in the mans back. After comparing
notes with Couplin he knew mora about it.

Jersey city Dramatic Club.

The entertainment given by these anna
teur Thespians at their rooms on Tuesday
evening was complete success and it is to
be hoped that these pleasant affairs may be
frequently repeated. The room which was
handsomely decorated with flags draped
about the monogram of the Club was filed
with an audience of about two hundred
people, who expressed their pleasure by
generous applause and numerous encores
at the excellent programme provided.
There were Rotations by Mrs. Hedsdon,
the talented wife of the stage manager;
Miss Cornelia Higgins of New York, very
pretty and charming elocutionist; Mr.. Fl.
j. Buchanan, who recited "Christmas at
the Quarters" with banjo accompaniment
by Capt Emmons, and also read ga New
Cure for Rheumatism" and other pieces
j. r. LaForrest, the heavy tragedian of the
Club, and Capt. Gordon Emmons, the
President. The musical portion of the bill
of fare was furnished by Mr.. j. w. Black,
of the Park Reformed Choir, in some beau.
tiful ballads; Mr.. Tenant in some well
rendered piano solos, and three young
ladies, whose names have escaped us, but
who sang a trio very sweetly and were
loudly encored. The performance closed
WIZ an e1cellent e1nlDltlon OF fledgerue
main by Mr.. George Ditman, prominen
member of the Club, which caused mucl
amusement. Mr. William Lindsay, the eff
ficient Vice. President of the Club, acted al
Master of Ceremonies in dignifed anC
impressive manner After the perform
ance the members of the Club and thei
friends were served with ice cream ant
cake by the fair hands of the ladies of tn,

Q. J. Wangen says he likes roller skating
better than running.
Jesse Abrams, of the Greenville rink, can
make more falls to the lap than any one at
that rink.
William Trested should never put on
skates again. Every one who saw him
skate last week enjoyed hearty laugh at
his expense.
Frank Milter, of Greenville rink fame.
always reminds one of a shipwreck when
on the floor of that rink.
Hen Herman says he is going to put
wagon wheels on his skates so that he can
win the next race at the Greenville rink.
Rob Hoagland had better hire horse to
tow him around when he puts on skates at
the Greenville rink-it would save him the
trouble of moving his feet.
Joe Limeburner is bang up fellew-or
at least his head was banged up recently
on account of knocking it against the floor
of the Greenyille rink.
Al Post gets around the floor of the
Greenyille rink as lively as though he wer Q
chained to post.
If there was prize offered for the last
man in the Scots roller skate race, the
''Boss" would certainly capture it.
H S. Tuttle is the slowest skater that at
tends the Pavonia rink.
W. Cuff, theschampion tug-of-war's man,
is an awful kicker when he isn't on skates
Jack O'Mara, with his high collar was at

ming and practice roller skating.
Thomas English, the fast runner, was
seen turning hand-springs on roller skates
at the Payonia rink last week.

ticing in his back yard every evening.
Lony Wangen says if he don't fall all over
himself, he will win the Scottish American
race.
Colin Boag says that If any one wants a
soft snap, they want to bet all the money
they can raise that he will win the Scots
race on Saturday. He never had pair of
skates on.
The Scottish American Athletic Club
will present the Columbia polo team with
handsome silk banner at the Pavonia rink
next Saturday evening, June goth. After
the presentation, two teams from the Scots
will give an exhibition tug-of-war on cleats

brilliant spectacle, the Zouaves were in
spected and mustered by Colonel II. Eugene
Hamilton, of this city, who also expressed
great pleasure in the ceremony The entire

Policemen still Complaining of Hard-
ship and Denouncing the Change
of Hours.
Four or five policemen lay stretched on
tables in the drill room over the Gregory
street police station when the TArTLER
strolled in there the other evening. They
were the chiefs new-tour-system reserve
force. They were snoopy, and pulled lszily
at their pipes. AS the new tour was keep
ing them from their homes, the new tour
naturally enough became the topic of talk
"What farce it is" they all SAID at one
breath. "Why, we are obliged to stay
here for the tour that begins at midnight.
We have to stay in this room. There are
no beds for us to rest on, nor chairs for us
to sit on, and nothing but the grace of God
and Nose Newton has given MS these Ia
bles to stretch on. Talk about the new
tour being easier, giving us more time to
ourselves, and all that kind of trash. We
have only six hours in the twenty-four at
home-from to 10 in the evening or from
IL to in the morning. I have to be in
troduced to nay children as often as l have
day off"
ssBut then the city derives an advantage
from it, suggested the reporter.
"Does il? A proper administration of
the department means the presence of as
many men as possible on their posts at
those hours Of the night when the sleeping
city needs most careful watching. The
thieves are abroad between 10 and in the
morning. During those hours the watch
ing force in this precint alone is cut down
from Is to IL men. The idea of reducing
ridiculously inadequate force to an even
more ridiculously inadequate number, in
the very hours when the service should be
| enlarged if anything r
Chief of Police Murphy still insists that
the new tour gets more work out of the
men than before, and that there have been
more arrests since it was enforced than
there were before. The returns for morn
ing after morning are blanks, and nothing
but blanks, and the men insist that arrests
are not SO numerous, nor vigilance SO active,
as under the old rule. The police SER
geants, too, say that the roll of prisoners
is not near 80 heavy as it used to be.
The Police Board will meet tomorrow
afternoon. It is said that the new tour
will be carefully considered, and it is not
unlikely that change will be made.

two squads belonging to different parents.
One sat over their infant charge until it
could scarcely waddle, while the other,
whose parents were shiftless pair, left
their little one to starve. One morning,
the overfed SQUAD, tired of listening to its
hungry companions calls for food, wad-
died painfully across to the other nest and
opening its capacious beak proceeded to
feed its neighbor, parent-bird fashion,
from its own crowded larder. The incident
was witnessed by the owner of the bird,
who called several friends to see it also.
The other case was Of shiftless female
canary who had ruined number of nests
by deserving her eggs during the process OF
incubation. At the last attempt the male
bird showed great signs of restlessness and
when the female undertook to leave her
nest he coolly sat upon her back and held
her down. For seven days he has repeated
this process, and it is to be hoped that his
patience and determination will be reward
ed by nest full of little crnaries. These
are cases of instinct that go far towards
convincing one that animals are sometimes
possessed of reasoning faculties.
