THE PRICE OF FAME.

Fame has its drawbacks. That must be
the way HENRY IRVING. the English actor,
looks at it. Mr.. IRVING is an actor of
great celebrity, and when he was in this
country enjoyed great deal of notoriety.
One result of his fame was that every play
writer was anxious to have word of COM
mendation from the greatest of
English actors. just a line from him
in praise of a play would be
money in the authors pocket Accordingly
Mr.. IRVING had the manuscript of new
plays piled in upon him by the cart-load
for his examination, with the hope that he
might detect some merit in them and give
the authors the benefit of favorable criti-
cism. Of course Mr.. IRVING didn't read
any of them. He had no time for such
foolishnesS. There was one play
writer, an Englishman, who makes
his home in New York, who sent
in his manuscript with the others.
And with the others it found its way into
Mr.. IRvING's waste basket. Now the
author claims damages from Mr. IRVING to
the amount of $1,000 for the loss of his
manuscript and has entered suit against him.
Mr.. IRVING will learn after awhile that
playwriters have some rights which actors
are bound to respect, and he will also learn
that men sometimes pay dearly for their
fame

little thing like personal inconvenience to
interfere with bringing about that desirable
consummation. So, while she has been
told that the deadly corset was COMPRISING
her vital organs and shortening her life, as
long as the resultant contour and curves
were thought to fulfill the laws of beauty,
she has Rugged as friend to her bosom the
harmful continuance of mistaken fashion as
closely as it has clasped her. The substi-
tute which autocratic Fashion offers for the
corset which she now. strangely enough,
condemns, is said to afford all the ad-
vantages, with none of the injurious
effects, of the latter. In the in
terest of the health of modern
and future women, it is to be hoped
that it will meet with as ready and general
acceptance as has been accorded heretofore
to less meritorious DEGREES. But it is sadly
to be feared in this one instance Fashion
will meet with rebellion which will over
ride her authority. A habit long adopted
is not done away with in day. But 1t is
well that beginning has been made which
may bring forth fruit in the future.

THE ICE MAN.

Two heavy irOn-gray horses, attached to
heavy ice wagon, zig-zag along the street
First on one side and then on the other they
saunter along, the racket of the heavy,
rumbling wagon ON the paved street, at
racting no end of chaldren. The man in
charge of the wagon, a burlY and surly
looking individual, follows ON behind. He
carries huge pair of tongs, and occasion
ally yellS at the horses as, having deposited
a small piece of ice on the sidewalk where
the suns rays have full sweep at it, he is in
hurry to get to the residence of the next
customer.
''Halloo, Bill" is the salutation of a
small boy who. hearing the noise of the
passing vehicle, comes out and trots along
with the ice man.
''Furst rate" responds the burly, surly
man, his face lighting up. where's yer
pardner?"
"Oh! You mean that boy that was with
me yesterday"
"Of course. Where's he to-day?"
''He fell off his barn and broke his leg
last night. He's purity sick, tell YOU"
SIS that thrue?"
''Cross my heart and pom my sacred
honor"
well! Well! that's too bad, SO it is.
But here, you take this piece of ice; it's
big enough for both of you and give half
of it to your sick parduer. Tell him Bill
sent it to them will yer2''
Suiting the action to the word he took
out a big piece of ice and handed it to his
youthful friend. As the boy, carrying the
ice first on one hand and then ON the other,
disappeared from sight, little girl came
running along the pavement.
Say, Mister BilI' she said, evil YOU
give me piece of ice?"
Certain, nae little lady," CALAMITY re-
plies the ice man. And he gives chunk
of ice as requested. Down the street he
goes talking to the children, and being adj
dressed by them.
kids are all alike" he says. referring to
his children acquaintance, land they all
is gone on the lee man. l know what it is,
for was kid, an used to foller the
wagon all around to get piece of ice.
Somehow it never seemed so good at home,
as to get chunk out of the wagon. l re-
member how they had cross ice man an
we kids was afraid of him. He was ter
ror, he was, an he just spoilt lots Of fun
for me and the other kids. I Just made
up my mind if ever got to be a man I'd
run an ice wagon, an no kid should ever be
afraid of me. Kids are great. they are. an
if they take it into their heads to make it
unpleasant, they kin do it. All right, Sam,
jump in the wagon an get what you
want"

THE STREET ARTIST.

An easel of primitive make and design
stands in the hallway of building on
Third street. The easel holds a square
drawing board upon which is tackled a
square piece of white card board. The
card board contains numerous silhouettes
of different faces Some of the black and
white outline drawings represent old peo-
pie, others delineate the profiles of young
persons and others show the facial outlines
of children's faces. In front Of the easel
stands man with crayon in hand. He
is surrounded by motley gathering of men
and boys who have been attracted by the
novel street exhibition.
who is the next lucky man?" asks the
man with the crayon in his hand. who
is the man to have his picture taken?"
No one replies. The crowd increases in
numbers as the artist begins his talk. 1t
includes very tall and a very young man,
who bears with him evidence of having re-
Gently come from farm. He is pressed
forward and attracts the attention of the
artist. The latter singles him out and con-
tinueS his talk.
whats the matter with my taking your
picture?" queries the man as he toys with
the crayon and moves it up and down be-
tween the thumb and forefnger of his left
hand. ut will be nice thing to send to
the old folks at home, or nicer yet to pre-
sent to some of the young folks"
How much is it?" asks the tall victim.
"Ten cents" replied the artist. land you
never will get it cheaper. That's right,
come right up here and stand with your
sdeface to me-a little bit that way; that's
it, now it wont be second till / have you
in black and white"
The artist dashes along the cardboard
with his black crayon, while the tall Young
man looking as serious as becomes a man
then and there. His profile is ia the direc-
ton of the artist while his face is turned
toward the crowd, which, largely aug
mented stands on the sidewalk and watches
the proceedings with evident interest and
some surprise.
Don't yer move. young feller," ex.
claimed member Of the crowd, ''or yer
picter will be spoilt. That's it, look a
leetle pleasant"
Don't open your mouth SO WIDE" re-
marked another, ''or there won't be any
thing else in the picture
''There you are" said the artist, as he
put the finishing touches on the silhouette,
land fair likeness it is, too, if l do say it
myself"
The tall young man paid his money and
took his outline drawing and examined it
carefully. Others assisted him in the ex-
animation, and many comments, kind and
otherwise, were passed thereon. At last
the inspection ended and the original and
his picture disappeared. AS he did so, the
artist began his crusade for another sub

A FORECAST FULFILLED.

The GLOBE claims to be som ething of a
prophet. Some months ago, in reviewing
Pennsylvania politics. we laid down the
proposition that the administration at
Washington had its eyes turned to the
future political status of Pennsylvania, and
that the proper machinery would be set in
motion to carry the election there this fall;
that in pursuance of this not expressed
program the candidate to be selected
for governor would be Hon. CHAUN-
CEY f. BLACK. Time has rolled
on, the convention has been held and
although the field was hotly contested by
the respective friends of Senator WALLACE
and EX-Gov. CURTIN, our prophetic can
didate BLACK, easily stood the chief, and
is to-day the gallant standard bearer of the
aggressive Democracy.
We congratulate our far-away friends on
this wise selection. We know Gov. BLACK
through and through, and regard him intel
lectually as one of the ablest men in the
country. He comes of good blood politically,
for the name of his father, JEREMIAH S.
BLACK. now gone to rest. is the name
that is above every name in the annals of
the Keystone state, whilst it is everywhere
cherished by Democrats with a love that
will never grow cold. In some counties in
the state Gov. BLACK will hardly know an
opponent, for the people of all parties will
unite i'll his promotion. He is, besides, an
organizer after the manner of Mr.. TILpEN.
He believes much in the power of the pen,
and he handles it with the grace of
the artist and the power of the skill
full wielder Of the brOadSword. Mill
nesota looks with untiring interest on
the efforts to redeem from Republican thral-
dom the state of pennsylvania. We want
that redemption thorough. We want tariff
reform, so that our Woodworking farmers
shall no longer be at the mercy of the iron
monopolies of the East. We look to that
state for broad and advanced ground upon
the great questions OF labor. The Demo-
Gratis of Minnesota will gladly respond to
all such efforts and the result in both states
will. we believe, be a great victory for the
Democracy.

and is. therefore, quite impressed with his
own appearance. His wilted shirt collar
has black necktie encircling it, and his
blonde, chopped off hair is partially covered
by black SLOUGH hat. In his left hand. for
his right is busily engaged in holding Roxy's.
he has a red handkerchief. which he waves
in the air as he goes marching along.
A popcorn man meets them, and stops
forthwith to effect a sale. The dicker is
successful. and soon Roxy and her lover are
enjoying the red and white puffed-up kerr
nels of corn. They wander about through
the hottest part of the day, and finally
saunter over to the circus grounds and
await the opening of the tents for the after
noon performance. The circus men all
know them, for they meet their counter
parts in nearly every city. The circus per-
Torrance is under way. Roxy and her
lover are there. They are ON the top seat,
and it is hard to tell which they enjoy the
more, the entertainments afforded in the
rings or the peanuts and red lemonade.
The performance is over, and Roxy and her
lover are in the crowd. They disappear
hand in hand on their way back to the

WE TOLD YOU so

If the GLOBE was to say that the capture
of the Ramsey county delegates by the NC
GILL forces was piece of sculduggery in
excess of outrages perpetrated in the South
during the days of carpetbagism and
kukluxism. there might be those who would
think that there was faint of partisan
bias in the opinion. But when the
assertion comes from such truly
orthodox Republican authority as the
evening Republican organ in this city, then
the statement must be accepted as an I'M
qualified truth, and be taken without a
single grain of salt in 1t. The GLOBE has
had occasion to remark that the Republican
party in this state was manipulated by a
set of political bosses who had grown fat
and insolent by feeding at the
public crib, and that the only
way to relax their grasp was to
overthrow the Republican party. We are
all the more gratifed to have our judgment
backed by such eminent authority as our
evening contemporary. The Republican
party in Minnesota is controlled by the
state house gang. In fact. the state
House gang virtually constitutes the Re-
publican party in this state The Dispatch
says ''they are barnacles who have abused
the trusts re posed in them and have en-
ployed the time paid for by the state to
rob the people of their rights" 1t says of
the proceedings and results of the Republi-
can county convention held in this city yes
terday, and of the Republican primaries
which preceded the convention, that it was
"a plot Of the state house gang-a plot
which in audacity and disregard of the
spirit of fairness and of popular rights,
equals anything ever attempted by
the Southern bulldozers." Our con-
temporary calls upon tile Republican
voters of the state to rise in revolt
against such high-handed measures. That
is right. 1t is just what the GLOBE has
has been advising them to do. They have
been sending officials to the state capitol
''to engage in the dirty business of caucus
packing and delegate stealing" long enough.
1t is time to turn the whole gang
out of Office and put honest Dem
ocratic officials in their place. The GLOBE
welcomes its Republican contemporary
into the ranks Of the reformers. If the
Dispatch will now stick to its text, roll up
its sleeves and come to the aid of the
GLOBE in relaxing the hold that the
barnacles have upon the ship of state it
will do good work and will go long
ways toward atoning for its past sins in
helping to fasten the barnacles on the
vessel. The lamp still holds out to burn
and there is still time for repentance,

DECLINE OF TuE CORSET.

Following the maxim that it is the uneX-
pected which happens, that mysterious and
Intangible divinity, Dame Fashion, whose
DEGREES have been more binding than those
of any earthly potent2te, and whose in
huences over the feminine portion of the
world has become supreme, this despotic
ruler, in all the arrogance Of her power,
has been pleased to experiment with the
adoption Of a little common sense. For
many weary years she has exacted an ODE
dience upon the part of her fair subjects,
which. Though sometimes unwillingly, was
always implicitly given. She has, in her
mad glee and maniacal ingenuity, invented
particularly hideous methods Of thraldom,
and, laughing in her sleeve, has observed
he haste with which her serfs accept the
yoke she imposes and even hug the chains
which bind them. But, perhaps in
fluenced by the remorse occasioned by ages
of wrorg-doing and imposition, the oracle
intends hereafter to make up for her past
misdeeds by inserting the hitherto unknown
element of wisdom and common sense in her
dicta. AS san evidence of her good intention
she has begun by frowning upon the univer-
sal. beloved but Understanding corset
With that leaning towards first principles
and simplicity of attire which has begun to
characterize her, she has observed that
neither the Venus of Milo or the Venus de
Medici, whose figures she has been pleased
to approve, achieved their perfection
through wearing the corset and she has
come to the conclusion that the modern
maid should not allow the ancients, all I'M
assisted as they were by nodstes and mil
linery, to excel her. In ball room costumes
she has almost succeeded i'll bringing about
the adoption of old-time feminine models, as
they are now represented in the statuary
rooms Of art museums, but the corset has
maintained its baneful sway, in the absence
of any authoritative decree against it, 1t
is true experience has proved and physicians
have taught the deleterious influence of the
grasping and encircling corset which has
held all women tightly in its embrace, but
these adverse opinions have been as moth
ing when compared with Fashions tacit
approval. Lovely woman realizes that It
is her duty to be beautiful and
she is not going to allow a

SEEING THE CIRCUS.

Roxy and her lover are in the city. They
have come to see the circus and everything
else that is visible within the corporate
limits. No one has any difficulty in telling
Roxy and her companion on sight, no mat
ter if she has never been introduced or
described. She is right from the farm and
she shows it in her carriage, in the way
she looks at the most trivial object, and in
her whole appearance. Her companion is
from an adjacent farm. That fact is also
apparent from his general makeup. That
they are acquainted is evident from the
way they go along, handin hand. They are
afraid OF getting separated or lost in the
never-ending procession of pedestrians. and
are constantly on the lookout for the circus
parade.
Roxy is dressed in white. Her red hands
and red face do not appear less red by con-
trast with her white garment. Her dress
is simplicity itself, save that blue ribbon
encircles her waist and serves as belt,
and a second ribbon of red officiates
as a collar. Her straw hat has rib
bon ornaments. In her disengaged hand
she carries a black, well-used parasol.
Her feet, visible at times from beneath the
folds of the white dress, are clad in brogans,
dusty and red with age. They are super
icially filled with creases. showing plainly
that they do not fit her. She does not know
it, however, and is happy in her ignorance.
On the farm Roxy is quite belle and in a
small way makes and unmakes the fashions.
Her companion has on boots-boots are
carefully laid away for Sundays and for e1-
cursions to the city. They are heavy boots,
but by contrast with his everyday working
pair they seem fine to him and he is per-
fectly satisfied. His clothes of broadcloth
hang upon his tall, ungainly figure Without
any attempt at perfect lit. They have been
folded up and kept on shelf, fer they
show the folds. He considers them pretty
fine, and is not the least ashamed of his
store clothes. He knows they are about as
good as anybody wears in his school district

development of those sentimental atten-

development of those sentimental atten-
tons and episodes which are supposed to be
part and parcel OF every well equipped
summer resort and without which an outing
by the seaside or in the mountains becomes,
viewed from the so-called summer girls
standpoint, a barren waste of time. The
young women. therefore, recognizing the
necessity of preparation for the winter so
cial campaign have. in default of anything
better, concluded to fall in love with each
other and have done so with vim. No re-
sort is without it's devoted couple. and
perhaps several of them, one member of
each pair plying the other with all those
loverlke attentions supposed to be
the peculiar province of the other
sex, much to the amusement of the
casual visitor and the disgust of the few
stray men, who find, like OTHELLo, their
occupation gone and themselves totally
neglected in the new dispensation of
things. all this is, of course, very wrong.
1t is each w0man's mission to make some
man happy, and she should not thus
squander her wealth of affection upon her
own sex, incapable of the proper respen
siveness, lest in time of need. when
she draws upon it, she should
find herself bankrupt. If in the
tremendous preponderance of women over
men in the East they find their opportuni-
ties curtailed, or if such available young
men as do exist are indisposed to appreciate
their manifold charms, let the feminine Wis
itors to Eastern summer resorts come next
season to Western watering places, where
the preponderance is on the masculine side.
and all young men are gallant. Come
West, young woman, come West, and be
appreciated.
