For the Charleston Sufferers

1t 10 an undisputed fact that when
money 10 needed for any charitable pur.
pose, the members of the dramatic pro-
fession are among the first to respond.
and now that the Palmetto City is laid
In ruins, and thousands OF the citizens
rendered homeless, and many suffering
for the necessaries of life, the theatres
In all parts Of the country are giving
performances, the proceeds OF which
will be devoted to their relief. The
managers Of the travelling companies
are Dot behind In this good work, and
yesterday afternoon Mr.. @. o. Rogers,
tho agent for the Lillian Lewis Com
pany, which Was already booked to ap-
pear at the Academy Of M usic on Satur-
day night, returned TO this city to max 9
arrangements with the managers Of the
Academy, whereby the performance on
Saturday night would be given for the
benefit Of the sufferers.
The plan met with the hearty ap-
proval Of Manager Askin, and the ar.
ranRements were soon completed, after
hich Mayor Rhoads WAS waited upon
and informed Of the proposed benefit.
He cordially endorsed the plan, and
promised al. the assistance In his power
that would contribute to it's success.
On this occasion Miss Lewis will ap.
pear In her new play, entitled 1.-THE
Creole" which is said to be one of the
strongest and bes: society dramas ever
written. Miss Lewis ID we'll known
here as one Of the best actresses now on
the stage, and as she is supported by q
strong company there Is no doubt but
the performance will be one OF the best
ever given In this city. and " hen In
addition to this 1t IL known that the
proceeds are to be used to alleviate the
sufferinRs of an afflicted people, the
house should be packed rs 1t has never
been peaked before. There are few who
cannot afford to purchase q ticket, and
thus contribute their mite toward
swelling the fund, and also have the
satisfaction Of seeing a first class play
performed by very excellent company.
The proceeds will be placed In Mayor
Rhoads' hands, and word of the In
tended benefit has been telegraphed to
the Mayor Of Charleston.

delay in getting the lumber for the

this fund the society will hold q fair

room, In the school house, on Friday

On the Sahara.

The new play, "On the Sahara" was
presented for tre first time in this city
at the Academy of Music last evening,
md from the rising of the curtain un.
I'll 1t fell on the last scene, tie audienc ce
laughed almost necessarily at the many
humorous points which were 30 promi-
nen'ly brought ont by the very excel
lent company. The play was written
by Mr. Frank K. Dunn. o young man
about 23 years o. age, and ia his first
attempt at dramatic work of any kind.
He Ia u son Of 6sndusky, Ohio, jour.
nalist, and has been on the stage ouly
about eight months, but his rendition
of the character of "Percy Fetherly'
shows that he bas not mistaken his vo
cation and Is destined to become one OF
the leading comedtaus of this age.
Unlike the majority Of farcical come
dies the play has a plot which ia out
lined in the first act, runs through the
remaining three, and eliminates In the
ast act with every body happy.
All the characters were 30 we'll por.
trayed that 1t seems scarcely fair to
draw any comparison, and when Ii Is
taken into confederation that last night
was bu. the second time that the com
pany has performed the play IL seems
wonderful that everything went SC
emooth. There is no doubt but "On
the Sahara" will prove success, and
that ere the close of the season 1t will
become as popu. ar as "a RaS Baby
Tin Soldier" and other plays of that
kind. 1t will he performed again this
evening for the last time and those who
were unable TO be present. last night
should not miss this last opportunity Of
seeing one of the funniest plays ever
written and enjoy hearty laugh.

Mako tho Girl. work at Home.

The great mistake that many of our
girls are making, and that their mothers
are encouraging or allowing them to
m AXE, Is that of spending their time out
of school In idleness or frivolous amuse
ments, doing no work to speak Of and
learning nothing of the practical duties
and serious cares of life.
1t is not only In the weather. families
the girls are growing up indolent and un-
|practiced in household work; indeed,
more attention is often paid to the indus
trial training of girls in the weather.
families than In the families of mechanics
and other people in moderate circum-
stances, where the mothers are compelled
to work hard all the while.
The habits of incidence and helpless .
ness that are thus formed are not the
|greatest evils resulting from this bad prac-
Etice; the selfishness that it fosters Is the
worst thing about it.
How devoid of conscience, how lacking
In true sense of tenderness, or even of
justice, girl must be who will thus con.
sent to devote III her time out of school
to pleasuring, while her mother ia
bearing all the heavy burdens Of the
household.
And the foolish way in which mothers
talk about this, even iG the presence OF
OF their children, is miscnievous in the ex-
treme.
"Oh, Hattie is so absorbed with hei
books, or her cray ons, or her embroidery
that she takes no interest In the house
hold matters, and do not like to call
upon her."
AS If the daughter belonged to a superb
or order of beings and must not soil her
hands or rufiie her temper with necessary
housework.
The mother is the drudge; the daughter
is fine lady for whom she tolls.
No mother who suffers such state q
things as this can preserve the respect u
her daughter-and the respect Of
her daughter no mother can afford tt

The result of this is to form in the minds
OF many gifted girls not only distastt
for labor, but contempt for 1t and pur
pose to avoid it as long as they can by
some means or other.
