history. So M. Sardou said last Monday to
 his friends for the first time. It is the act in
 which Fedora, convinced that Loris IpanoH
 is the murderer. of Wlademir, her amanced
 husband lures him to her house, intending
 to hand him over to the secret agents of the
 Russian police, who are in waiting for him.
 You know perhaps how the princess, when
 she has caught her prey, learns from him of
 her lovers treason, how she falls in love
 with the very man whose destruction she
 had been trying to contrive, suddenly be- coming es bent on saving his life as she had
 been an hour before on destroying it, and how she adopts the only means on hand for protecting him; that of retaining him under arms until the following morning. This strange adventure of Ioris Ipanof's really happened to certain Antonio Perez, some time minister in the service of Philip II of Spain. Antonio Perez, having had cause to go into hiding, took refuge at Pan, and thlther Philip sent willy and witching cour- tesan with instructions to ensnare him and hand him over to the Kings agents. An tonic Perez writes in his me moirs how he fell prize to the wonans wiles, but that his Delilah suddenly conceived tender pas sion for him, and, instead of delivering him over to the Kings Philistines barricaded her house that they might not moIest him.
 An aneedots on ''Fedora:" In the third act the body of Vladimir lies dead in a bed on the stage. Mir. Sardou insisted on hay ing human body, not dummy. What was to be done? Sarah was not going to shed her precious tears over the body of & carpenter, the body must be of good birth. So it was suggested by the male friends of the actress that they should successfully play the part of t'the corpse" For months and months young men of the most aristocrstic society, artists, jou rnalists took the part, and Sarah was able to say the other day that, to the very end, the ''corpse" had been kept very select. Now, dear American readers, Fedora" is going over. If you want something to do of an evening, apply for the vacant post. MAX O'RELL.

what the Boyeott Is.

From 8 gentleman of this city we have re- ceiyed letter from which the following par agraphs are taken. He has for many years been identified with the Greenback party and other movements having for their object the benefit of the laboring classes:
 "The struggle continually going on be- tween different individuals and classes has recently assumed a phase to which the term : boycott has been applied. It is essentially an agreement by a considerable number of persons to injure the business and property of one person by refusing to trade with or work for him. The effectual accomplishment of this purpose requires that the persons enter ing into such agreement should also refuse to hold any business relations with anyone who has commercial intercourse with the person whose injury has been agreed upon.
 Centuries of human experience have dem onstrated the inestiInable benefit of pro vision in the fundamental law that mo one shall be deprived of life, liberty property without due process of law Boycotting is in direct contravention Of the long tried prin- ciple that everyone is entitled to an oppor- tunity to make full defense, in fair legal and public trial, iu presence of his accusers, before being sentenced to deprivation of life, liberty property. It is a species of lynch law by which & persons property is taken lIoiA HUI tAiouSA tue 4uOAIoco Iotuou oI III turing his business. The rule of conduct Is essentially the same, whether a number of persons agree to take mans property by mob violence, or whether they agree to take his property from him through indirect methods. Lawlessness is the characteristic feature of all such acts.
 ''Boycotting may, therefore, be dismissed as an effort to improve tie condition of the la- boring classes by means at once so inexpedi- ent and wrongful as to infiict swift and cer- tain injury upon both those who make it and those against whom it is directed. The common sense of the whole community will soon revolt against it."

Natrfm 0nial Agencies i'm France.
 TFron, the paU Mall Gazette

A writer in the Temps furnishes some inter esting information concerning matrimonial agencies in France. The first of these hy- meneal institutions was established shortly after the revolution of '93 To-day there are over q hundred in Paris alone. Some are public, others private; the latter the more open to suspicion, though the former are occasionally caught making dupes, and one agent, who had large offices near the boulevards, has just been condemned to two years' imprisonment for syVindling his clients.
 The writer visited several of the leading agencies. He says that during the last eight months one of them has succeeded in making no fewer than 205 marriages. The majority of them are kept by women, who appear to m ake good living. The male clients are composed chiefly of pensioned soldiers, dis missed functionaries, and humble employees; while the female applicants may be classed as elderly maids, wearisi coIrtesans, or en- riched cooks. The extraordinary number of ex-functionaries in search of wives is attr1but- ed to the constant change of governments These unfortunate bachelors, finding them selves suddenly thrown out of office, and forced to maintain certain fank in society, resort to the matrimonial agent kind of savior. Many belong to good but impover- ished families. Of course, adventurers of both sexes are numerous among the candi- dates for matrimony; but that many bonafide matches are made by these agencies appears to be beyond doubt. Whether the couples so united by advertisement live long and happy lives forever after is 8 question diff cult to decide.

THIS IS FREE COUNTRY. THE BOY-
 corr ATTACKS FREEDOM,
MORE TYRANNY.

A
 King Boycott allows no sense of justice tc stand in the way of the enforcement of his tyrannieai decrees. It is well to thoroughly understand the nature of the new King. A Philadelphia case offers aid in this direction.
 John B. Stetson & Go. make hats in Phila- delphia. They have alvays treated their employees we'll. The wages paid are measur- ed by the firms income, and as the business is increasing all the time wages are growing better. Apprentices are promised $2 week and serve four years. The average amount paid them, however, has never been less than $6 a week, and has been as high as $12. Journeymen make from $10 to $50 a week. It is the custom of the firm when an apprsn- tice has served his time to give him 8 free dom present" equal in amount to S1 8 week for every week he has worked. It is also the firms custom to give Christmas pres ent each year to each one of it's employees. The presents are distributed according to merit, and consist of $2. 50, $5, $10, $20 in gold, a gold watch or chain, or five shares of building association stock of the value of $1 1000. Moreover, MT. Stetson has given his people hall in which to hold sociables and other meetings. He has established and maintained societies and a non sectarian Sunday school. He has established build- ing and loan association, beneficial associa- tion and library, reading room and gymna- sium. All this philanthropy has produced the natural result, and the workingmen are contented, They do not sympathize with the boycott which was ordered by an outside association because MT. Stetson would not consent to their rules.
 The fact is that the good places in the Stetson factory wanted by the outsiders, and the business is boycotted because they can't get them. It is pleasing to read that way

FAST DAY IN NEW HAVEN.
An Open Letter % the Churches and
 Their Paxfors

An Open Letter 60 the Churches and
 Their Pastors.
 DEAR FRIENDS: In accordance with ina memorial usage, our worthy Governor has appointed day of humiliation, fasting and prayer to be observed by the people of this commonwealth s'in their respective places of worship" It has been the custom of the good people of this city to ignore both the letter and the spirit of the annual Fast day proclamation, to shut the doors of most of the places of worship, to force those who are deyoutly inclined to go to some other and perhaps more distant place of worship than their own, and to fall in with, if they do not set the exam day from day of conservation and drawing near to God into day of frivolity and turning away from God And do not hesi- tate to affirm that for the present scandalous disregard of the true character of the day and failure to honor the commands of the powers that be, the churches, with their houses of worship closed are responsible.
 But can we not change this state of things? Can we not have all our churches open this year, and keeping both the letter and the spirit of the proclamation of our honored chief magistrate may we not so draw near to the throne of divine majesty that we shall ob- ualn spiritual DleSSiuSs, dbtdlu u eioseE Walh with God and see our whole city receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirita
 Do we, dear friends, earnestly desire to have our sins covered-onr individual, our ecclesiastical, our municipal, State and na- tional sins put away-our hearts made right, to have the blessing of the Lord upon our selves and our neighbors, upon all the spir- itual and material interests of the city and State and nation, and can we not spare one day in the year when the Governor calls to make con fession of those sins, which threaten disaster, and unitedly to plead for forgiy eness and cleansings
 Surely sin is abroad in the land, and he who runs may trace it's handwriting on ev- cry hand. The spirit of evil asserteth itself in the bold attempt to bind as many as pos sible with Satan's chains. And this kind goeth not out but fey prayer and fasting. Let us then, in our own houses of worship, beseech Almighty God te pardon our mani fold iniquities and to lead us in the ways of righteousness and temperance.
