Returned Home.

Melville Gambrill, who resigned his
position at the Arlington Mills, and left
this city some two months ago to start a
cotton mill at Baton Rouge, La, bias
reipquished the enterprise and returned
home. IL Is said that owing to the
scarcity OF skilled labor in the place
aud the consequent high price which it
commanded, vita thu fact that several
other Ike concerns have lost money in
the past, were the causes which deferred
him from carrying out bis intentions,

Getting Rich in a Hurry.

Edwin Booths sharing terms with
local theatres are calculated to make
cold shivers run up and down the
spine of most managers. The Chicago
Opera House got but 10 per cent.
OF the gross of receipts of late
engagement, Booth and Barrett getting
the other 80. There can be but very
little, If any, profit to the house from
such terms, though in the case of a
new theatre like the Opera House the
honor of having such an attraction as
Booth is considered very great, for it
brings the theatre at once to the front
rank and enables it to secure better
attractions and better terms. The
stoiy is told that at Grand Rapids the
rivalry to get the Booth attraction was
so great that the manager of new
house offered to give him all the re-
ceipts if he would come there and play.
The rival manager, not to be outdone,
offered a premium of 10 per cent. of
the gross receipts.to get the company.
Mr.. Booth laughed, but he and Barrett
refused even to consider such terms.
They made their own choice of house
and closed with the manager ON the
usual terms-O per cent. AT st. Paul
and Minneapolis the receipts, at ad-
yanced prices were nearly $4,000 for
the week. At st. Louis, where the
prices were to be so and $3.50, they
have had an advanced sale already of
$4,000. Mr.. Booths individual profits
up to the time the company reached
Chicago had been nearly $4,000.

Some Big Figures.


A mathematical calculation which is
just old enough to make interesting
Sunday reading once more is based on
the following passage from the Book
Of Revelation: "And he measured
the city with the reed 1900 furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
heighth of it are equal" This pretty
little calculation, which is being freshly
quoted, is as follows: "Twelve thou
sand furlongs, 100000 feet, which
being cubed, l,406, 793,OSS.0Oo,OOO0OO,O
cubic feet. Half of this we will re-
serve for the throne Of God and the
court of heaven, and half the balance
for streets, leaving a remainder Of 1884,
1863, ,472,0O0,OOO,0OOOOO cubic feet. Di-
vide this by 1905, the cubical feet in
room sixteen feet square, and there
will be &c, 1921, ,S23, 10000 600 rooms. We
will now suppose that the world always
did and always will contain 9900OO,00O
inhabitants, and that a generation lasts
for thirty-three and one-third years,
making in all 2,070,00O,000 every GEN.
tury, and that the world will stand
100000 years, or 1000 centuries, making
in all, 2,0700O0,0OO0O0 inhabitants.
Then suppose there were 100 worlds
equal to this in number of inhabitants
and duration Of years, making total
of 297,0OO,0OO,0O00o persons, and there
would be more than 100 rooms sixteen
feet square for each person."

Mrs. cleveland,s Drive.

Mrs. Cleveland takes advantage of
the weather for driving, and none
cares more to enjoy it than she. Every
afternoon the carriage is ordered, and
Mrs. Cleveland has some lady friend to
go with her. The ladies tell the coach
man to drive them out into the
country where they can see the beauti-
full trees turning to autumn colors.
Mr.. Cleveland does not care particu-
larly about looking at the change Of
colors in the leaves, but sometimes he
is prevailed upon to go. Very often
Mrs. Folsom accompanies her daugh-
ter; sometimes little May Cadmuch,
Mrs. Folsom's little niece, occupies the
front seat, but 1t is rarely that Hector
is invited. Hector is not such a favor
ite with his mistress, as every one
would have you to suppose. He would
much rather be in the kitchen, or in the
pantry with Sinclair, than acting
rropriety upstairs. Hector gets his
ride though. He goes every morning
out in the White House market wagon.
Sinclair takes him TO the grocer's and
the butchers. Hector enjoys this
riding much better than he does the
long drives with his mistress.

PRESS AND PULPIT.
A Clear Headed Journalist Reviews tho
Situation.

Joe Howard writes: "He who toots
for capital invariably, cannot hope to
succeed. 1t seems to me that journal
ism never occupied so proud plane as
1t does to-day. On the one hand is the
mountain capital; no matter how it
got there, there it stands supercilious,
avaricious, oppressive, grinding the
face of the poor; but nevertheless an
entity. On the other, an equally
rugged mass; multitudinouo in its
composition, fanatical, ignorant, brutal
at times, with all the petty caprices of
spoiled children, mentally clouded,
physically dirty, overworked, over
taxed, exacting in its demands: the
two, standing hostile, sneer and
threaten. The press has a great oppor-
tunity, wide, horizoned field for inau-
ence, but here it is all one-sided. The

OF the opera "Luci di Lammermoor"
was being given at the theatre, and
Madame Elvira Brambilla-at pres

inc. In q box there was observed an
elegant young gentleman named Clio
yanni Fiore, who app!auded with much
enthusiasm Madame Brambillas sing
ing and threw at the end of each act
bouquets of flowers with costly Jewels
appended to them. At the close of the
performance he contrived to procure
an introduction to his favOrite prima
donna. Aftera few minutes conyer
sation, to the amazement of all present
lie exclaimed, suddenly: al have seen,
! have heard Brambilla. The aim OF
my life is achieved" So saying ne
took q revolver from his pocket, and
before anybody could prevent him,
shot himself in the head, and fell down
at the fair singers feet.
