hates the worst in the world to lose
THE stage is about to be inflicted with another
professional beauty. It is said that, Miss Jennie
Chamberlain thinks she is pretty enough to be-
come a great actress, and accordingly will fash
across the dramatic sky in a few months as Par
thena. 1t may be there is one profession in
which persons succeed in ratio of their beauty,
but it has not yet been discovered If any of the
great actresses of the world are pretty the fact
has not been made public. But if Miss Cham
berlain is sordid enough to want to turn her
beauty" to dollars there is no way to prevent
the attempt. 1t does require little nerve to
travel through the land as professional beauty.
1t is worth every cent that a sensitive woman
can make out of it.

lists. The exhibition is said to be an unusually
fine one. Among the paintings receiving COM

A CURIOUS circumstance in connection with
the water soaked mail from the wreck of the Ore
gon is that nearly all the letters in the bags
from Ireland contained shamrock. This dam
aged the letters very much. making them appear
as if in tangle of sea-weed, and making the de-
ciphering of addresses by the clerks in the New
York postoffice very difficult task. Much of
the mail will never reach its destination.
THE Central Labor Union of New York, BY
way Of helping along it's Saturday halfholi
day project, has resolved to keep all its wives
and female relations from shopping on Saturday
afternoon. 1t is possible that the union has
rashly promised more than it can perform. 1t
is one thing to intimidate and dictate to the en-
ployer class and quite another to boss women
folks successfully.
THE Chicago Graphic News of this week gives
up its first page to portrait of the Hon. Frank
Hatton, and the Evening Mail, Of which Mr..
Hatton is the editor, calmly remarks that the
pictures in this issue of the News are superb and
alone worth double the price of the paper. This

CERTAIN portions of New York city are renre
scented as overrun with rats of monstrous size
that gnaw through lead pipes and tin-lined eel
lars. The plumber is jolly dog and will have
his fun; but it is carrying it too far to bring in
bill for repairs that are ascribed to rats The
cry of 'rats" will be excusable il uttered in this
connection.

years ago Americans imported nearly all their

CONSERVATIVE estimate shows that not less
than 100000 people will pay to see baseball
matches in this distracted land to-day. The
sum of $35. 900 will be- invested in this pastime.
