Somewhat Like Pmllmao.

Pail Mail Gazette.
The latest experiment in the orgauiza-
ton Of industry comes from Ru~~ia,
where the employees at tie large ergi-
neering works belonging to tie firm of
Struve & Co. have recently been planted
in complete settlement somewhat like
Pullman City in the States. The orl-
men, of whom there are between 3, 500
and 4, 600, are all lodged in small Gotta
ges, most Of which are made to accom-
modate two families only, while the pub
lie institutions Of the colony include a
refectory, laundry, a hospital,
benefit society, a technical school and a
cooperative store. The employers con
tribute handsomely to the benefit socie-
ty. but charity in any other form is quite
unknown in the place, and the co-opera-
tive society pays flourishing dividend.
1t would be curious if Russia, which is
survival of the past in its village COM
munities of an agricultural type, were
also to be the pioneer of the future in
village communities of an industrial
tyne.

wholesale Mormon Conversion.

Chicago Herald.
Talk about a change of heart, said a
long haired and big-whiskered man at
the Rock Island depot. I've just come
from the biggest revival you ever see"
"Where was that p asked bystander.
"Why, out in Western Utah, " the first
speaker continued. ''We had Mormon
settlement in Millard county and we
were getting along mighty slick when all
Of sudden the United States grand jury
fell on US like a snowslide and clapped us
all in jail. There was more'n a hundred
of us all, and when we come to talk the
matter over we came to the conclusion
that it was good time to repent. So we
held revival right there in the Jail and
sent for the preacher, one of the Metho-
dists and I'm blamed if he didn't have
us all enrolled inside of an hour The
District Attorney parolled US just then
and as we filed out we ran into the wo-
men. Do you see that welt just over my
ear? Well that's where I caught the
broom that my third wife busted me
with The other fellows took to the
mountains"
'Will the conversion be permanent ?"
asked a listener.
The stranger hitched up his trousers
and taking a long breath observed "As
to the others l don't know, but the jail
and the broom cured me. I'm off for
Jersey, and it will take the whole United
States army to bring me back again.

ALMOST A DUEL.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Some time
since an interview appeared in the Post
of this city with Representative Whit
horne, of Tennessee, which was consid
cred by Mr. Porter, the recently appoint
ed Assistant Secretary of State, also of
Tennessee, as disparaging to him. The
interview was copied extensively in his
own state He sent q card to the Mem
phis Avalanche, in which he said ''As
Mr.. Whitthorne has served in Congress
the people of Washington knew him,
and as the people of Tennessee knew
both men, it was not necessary for him
to comment upon the interview. The
ex-R Representative thereupon sent friend
to Washington with a note asking Gov
ernor Porter "to go outside of the Uni
ted States and explain the little matter.
Governor Porter asked the friend if he
knew the contents of the note. The lat
ter replied in the affirmative. There
upon Governor Porter said: "You will
consider it no affront then If I return the
note to you" The note was returned.

MIR" MUST BE DROPPED.
What Vanderbilt, Gould and Astor
Put on their Visiting Cards.


Put on their Visiting Cards.
New York Mail and Express
The dudes and swells, especially those
who pattern after English style, are be-
ginning to drop the present "Mr." from
their visiting cards." said fashionable
designer and card engraver to a reporter.
"What is the reason -
'They say too many people are put
ting Mr. to their names who have no
style, no prestige, and no social eleva-
ton to warrant it. They add that it is
becoming too vulgar and common, and
they do not propose to have the style of
the general masses. Hence they drop
the prefix. My experience in the bust
ness teaches me that the Americans
proper, mean those who do not suffer
from Anglomania, do not use the prefix
in their cards to a great degree. It is
merely matter of taste with them.
"John Jacob Astor always has Mr..
put on his visiting card. He uses a
small, neat white card. Jay Gould,
Vanderbilt and men of great wealth as a
usual thing have plain cards without a
prefix Some few Murray Hill million
aires use the prefix Mr., but they are
rather exceptions. But the swells are
dropping it because they think it is be-
coming too common, BY Jove, old boy,
don't yer know There is nothing a
swell hates more than for style to be-
come popular with the masses. He
wants something odd"

A man with a large business on his

be successful unless he lives on the sim

unable to let go, and hung writhing to
the Swinging lamp until some one had
stopped the engine which supplied the
current when he fell to the sidewalk

EXCITEMENT UNABATED.
That Remarkab Experience OF a

Cleneldnd, o., Herald.
Yesterday and the day before we copied
into our columns from the Rochester, N.
Y, Democrat and Chronicle, q remarkable
statement, made by j. h. Henion, nj. d., q
gentleman who is well known in this city.
In that article DIR. Henion recounted won
derful experience which befell him, and the
next day we published from the same paper
. second article, giving an account of the
"Excitement in Rochester" caused by DIR.
Henion's statement. 1t is doubtful if any
two articles were ever published which
caused greater commotion both among pro-
fessional people and laymen.
Since the publication of these two articles,
having been besieged with letters of inquiry,
we sent communication to DIR. Henion and
also one to III. IL. Warner & Co., asking if
any additional proof could be given to us as
to the validity Of the statements published.
In answer thereto we have received the fol-
lowing letters, which add interest to the
entire subject and verify every statement
hitherto made:-

GENTLEMEN: Your favor is received. The
published statement, over my signature, to
which you refer, is true in every respect,

physicians and friends.

When Managers Were Not Blamed for
''Fazing" Piece to Save Expenses.
tCassell's Library.l
In 1868 there was q plague In London Of
which 2l,52O persons died Archbishop
Grindal advised Sir William Cecil, the secre-
tary (afterward Lord Burleigh), to forbid
ever, he said, that would not be amiss.
They were acted on scaffolds in public places,
like the interludes: and like them, with no
more stage appointment than the dressing Of
the actors. Now that the public thronged to
monty chosen was one Of the large inn-yards,
which have not yet everywhere disappeared.
The yard was great square. rudely paved,
entered by an archway, and surrounded by
the buildings Of the inn, which had an outside
gallery on the level Of the first floor, and a
second gallery sometimes surrounding the
yard on the floor above. Chaucer's "Tebard,"
In Southwark-its name afterward perverted
to the ~TalSot"-which stood until 1874 as it
had been rebuilt in Elizabeth's reign may
serve as an example.

was strewn with rushes Musicians were

One sound Of the trumpet called the public
In, and they stood on the rough stones In the
yard-the original "pit"-unless they en-
gagged rooms that opened on the surrounding
gallery, in which they might enjoy them
selves, and from which they could look out
on the actors. These rooms were the first
private boxes, and when buildings were
erected for the acting Of plays, their private
boxes were first called @rooma" The inn
gallery has been developed into the @dress
circles Of modern times
The second flourish OF trumpets invited all
spectators to settle themselves in their
places After the third sound Of the trumpet
the curtain was drawn, and the actors began
TO represent In action the story made for
them into play. There was no scenery.
The bit Of inn-gallery included between the
curtains might be balcony for a Juliet,
town wall or tower to be defended,
palace-roof, or any raised place that was re-
quired by the action. The writer and the
actors Of the play were the whole play. They
alone must present everything by their
power to the imaginations Of those upon
whom they exercised their art.
At court, for the queens pleasure, there
was still only the scaffold on which to pre-
sent the story, and, beyond the dressing Of
the actors, only the most indispensable bits
