When he came first to America his
mother procured for him o position in a
Boston mercantile house. This was scarce
ly a case Of natural selection" for a youth
whose frame tingled with the artistic sense
from his tongue to his toes and hack again
to his finger tips, hut no went at his
work seriously and in a short time attained
n prominent position in an uncongenial
field. Growing tired of business, his
mother sent him to Europe to study paint
ing. He painted and sold many pictures,
but, grayitating TO London, he found his
attention more absorbed by dramatic than
by pictorial art. This did not quite suit
Nine. Rudersdorff, who cut Off the sup
plies. The inevitable promptly ensued,
Young Mansfield, from being q ''curled
darling of London society, was compelled
to enter upon Ia rio de Boheme. Our good
friend wrote articles for magazines, painted
pictures, composed OratOrios, operas, sacred
and profane songs, ~sonatas, waltzes, and
Irish iigs. Finally, for the small conside-
ration of a five-shilllng registration fee,
D'0yley Carte procured for him an engage
ment. This opened the way for him, and
he has since achieved fame as q vocalist
and an actor. We bespeak for him a
hearty welcome.

Cardinal RicheIieu" and Damon and
Pythias."
Frederick Warde closed his engagement
at the Opera House last evening, having
achieved a very great success, artistically,
in each of the three great roles no esSayed.
The patronage gradually increased with
each performance, while the interest Of
the audiences much more than kept pace
with the augmented attendance. The
actor, from the time of his first entrance as
"Yirginius," Friday evening, SEEM
ed TO realize that he was among
old friends, and the enthusiastic
applause which greeted him from
time to time, seemed to spur him on to a
cleaner speech and a sublimer action, until
at times he seemed TO rise far above all
previous efforts in this city. Greater
actors there may be than Warde-of a
certainty there are actors Of more renown
but there are scenes in which it would be
difficult to surpass him, and he need not
shrink from contrast with any tragedianwho
now treads the boards Those WHO renem-
Der Mr.. Warde's former efforts in this
city, creditahle though they were, can not
but observe the marked improvements ap-
parent in his every gesture, and his future
will be watched with interest by his many
friends in Wheeling.
Ofyesterday' s performances w will not
speak in detail. The audiences were
large and the enthusiasm remarkable, es-
p~eeially last evening, when the splendid
Interpretation of Damon and Pythias"
packed the house to the doors. Several
Lodges of Knights of Pythias attended
in a body, headed by the Opera House
band, and the actor was accorded an ova-
ton seldom extended to a Disciple Of
Thespia. At the close of the fourth act,
after Mr.. Warde had been once recalled,
Capt. B. B. Dovener appeared upon the
stage, and, on behalf of the Knights of
Pythias of this city and vicinity, presented
Mr.. warde with a magnificent floral

PLAYED IN Tough Luck.

The company which played the
''shaughraGq' at the Grand Opera House
closed up the week in rather bad shape last
night, and the organization will probably
90 to New York, where it will either dis
band or brace up for a new trial.
The company was to have shown in
Parkersbqrg Thursday, aud then gone on
to st. Louis, but concluded it had better
hold on here. Salaries are three weeks be-
hind, and financial matters generally are
in bad shape. The Wheeling business,
while fairly good, was not heavy enough
to patch up certain deficiencies existing.

an Englishman, died when the lad was
five years old, and his mother, Nine.
Rudersdorff, the celebrated Russian sing

social as well as artistic distinction, and
enjoyed wide friendship and popularity
until her death, which occurred quite re-
Gently. Young Mansfield, meanwhile,
was being thoroughly well educated in
Switzerland, where he acquired that ac-
curate knowledge of European languages
and character which has served him to
such purpose in the peculiarly %unconven-
tional work to which he now devOtes him
self.

The plumber soon had the angry chap

stock of pretty little Jairy stories and the
man went out, Seeing his chance to get
in a word, the reporter slipped softly up
to the plumber, and asked in q myster-

stole softly over his features, and he gaz-
ed for a moment into the eyes of the ques-
toner, while every feature of his express
sion said palmer than words, How sad
that one so young and beautiful should
lose his mind ut such a tender age"
Then as be laid down . piece of gas pipe
which he had seized when the
question was sprung on him, he
went to 4 drawer, pulled ont
a well-thumbed order book, and mechan-
ically ran his finger down the pages of
names of people who wanted natural gas
run into their houses. As his finger went
down his lower jaw dropped IN proper
ton, until it was so far down when his
finger reached the bottom of the list, that
had there been two or three names more
on the page, no telling what might have
happened. The reporter, approaching his
condition, then left, after helping himself
to a good cigar which was lying on the
desk.

ing establishment, but had not gotten far

loving caught mis- eye:

4 :# crater is it becoming
GT7FTiwiII5 as each day flies past
and brings the chill
NIAlll-M- --- ling blasts of winter
nearer and nearer to shivering humanity.
But what is greater or more sought after
at present than that busy individual, the
plumber? He is cajOled, tlattered, intimi-
dated, brow beaten, cussed and coaxed so
many times a day that it is getting to be
part of his business existence, and he is
gradually becoming used to it. At the
same time he has told the truth and fibbed
in the same breath thousands of times in
the past few weeks and like q shoe maker,
he is becoming hardened to that.
After havinga at first coated, then chided,
then implored, and in fact exhausted,
every verbal means OF prevailing upon
the plumber to put the natural gas pipes
into the REGISTER building in order that
the staff might be able to shed their over
coats, muflers and gloves while gettingthe
daily news into shape for readers, as a
last resort the whole office force marched IN
a body to the plumbing shop and
escorted the workman, his pipes
and tools to the Office
and guarded him with care until the job
was completed. 1t was hard work but
the result more than repaid the gang for
their watchful care of the plumbers and
rs the gas in the CRATES blazed cheerily mp
among the fire brick and asbestos the staff
did a war dance and our artist catching
the idea produced the above excellent Pic
ture Of the fire place.
But it isn't his fault if the people force
him into deceiying them by dizzy lit
tie tales. He and his employees are capa-
bic of doing only so much work and if pat
rons do not appreciate that fact there is not
harm harm in telling u
SMALL AND Graceful LIE
to quiet them until the next time. 1t is a
fault among Americans to great extent,
to put OFF everything until the last mo-
mcnt; then when they at last come to the
conclusion they want something,
they want it very suddenly
and very bad. If one hundred arrive at
this conclusion at the same time, each
thinks he ought to have his work lone
first. So the gentle reader can easily see
where the plumber is placed
when one hundred men want
natural gas put into their houses on the
very same day. Much of such work
could have been completed long enough
ago, hut it seems that everybody
waited until they found that everybody
else intended having natural gas run into
their houses, then altogether they waited
on the plumbers and paralyzed and over
whelmed them with orders.
Every day the plumbing shops in the
city are the scenes of %wrangles and dis
puteS, and more gas is wasted than would
be necessary to run a rolling mill. Al
though the matter has been kept quite a
secret, it is understood that the boss
plumbers have formed 4 syndicate and
have IN inventive genius at work con-
structing a steam man, who will tell the
truth, lie or knock q man down and kick
hun, rs the occasion may call for. One of
these men can be placed in the office OF
each shop and thus save the boss plumber

At least half a dozen times within as
MANY years the Young society gentlemen
of Wheeling have discussed with each
other the formation of regularly ordained

those in operation in other and generally
larger cities, but the project, from one
cause or another, has always failed to ma
terialize beyond a erudely outlined verbal
sketch, and the years have followed each
other into the Past without anything OF a
substantial nature having been achieved.
To be sure, the lamented gymnasium and
or two other little organizations have,
indirectly, been the outgrOwth OF this
longing for the unattainable, but these fell
20 far short Of the ideal establishment that
they do not properly relate TO the subject

the way of business. A man came up to my
library, first sending up hi, card, from q
prominent publishing house, and did not
know but that they had discovered great
points in me, and had finally sent for me.
When the man entered, with certain stride
and beaming eye, felt disappointed He
did not have the ruined and woe begone ali
of literary managers, publishers etc. Thers
was an aquilinity about his nose and
a metallic luster in his eyes, and
slight kink in his hair, which re-
minded me of some one l had seen before
Said he: Il want to present your little son
George, who usql to come around on
Twenty street and play at my house,
