The Caornan III london.

Getting away from the theatre, particu-
lar.y if there are ladies' in the party, is al
most ss bad as forcing an entrance. The
stranger, who has already been impressed
with the idea that London consists almost en-
tirely Of cabs, trusts implicitly in the belief
that he will be able TO get one as soon as the
theatre is over Not so. The cabs are kept
at a distance of two blocks from the entrance
of the theatre. and only private carriages and
those that have been specially retained by
numbered checks are allowed to come to the
door. The only thing that the hapless Amer
lean can do is to tramp two blocks through

vehicles and the gencyal confusion, is tedious.
The chances are about seven to three that Il

when it has arrived. But if lie does not, the
American jumps out, loads the hanson with

From the Chicago Home Market Club.
During the recent session of the
English labor convention it was as
serted without contradiction that
England has 100000 workmen out of
employment, and numerous mills and
workshops closed or working on short
time. 1t was further asserted thatre-
lief from this unfortunate condition
could be secured in but one of two
ways: First, assisted immigration;
second, reduction of the United States
tariff, so as to secure free admission of

presented are likely to find many

Maud s. Trots Fast.

From the New York Times.
That Mr.. Robert Bonner's famous
trotting mare, Maud S., is still herself
and will probably be able to equal her
unbeaten record if called upon to do
so, was proved to the satisfaction of
everyone at the Gentleman's Driving
Park Tuesday last. On the morning
of that day John Murphy drove her to
sulky for the third time this year.
She was tried three heats of a mile
and in the second trotted in 2:14 IA,
which is within three-quarters of a
second of the best time she has ever
made over the track. In the first
trial she trotted the. quarter in
80 ga, the half in lilo ga, the three
quarters in 1:47 IA and the mile in
2:22 3-4. In the second and fastest
heat the quarter was trotted "a 1-2,
the half in 1:06 1-2, the three-quarters
in 1:39 1-2 and the mile in PA IA. In
the third trial the quarter was trotted
in :35 IA, the half in lilo, the three
quarters in 1:41 3-4 and the mile in
2:15. All three heats were trotted
without particular urging, and the
fleet little mare was not touched with
the whip.

When Sarah Bernhardt Was Born
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

When Sarah Bernhardt Was Born.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
A "curiour impertinent" has been
raking out acte de naissance fact of
BIRTH of Nine. Sarah Bernhardt. The
great actress was born, it appears, at
Havre on Saturday, April %, 1S43,
her mother being Julie Bernhardt,
"artiste musicienne," stated in the
document to be the daughter of Ber-
lin oculist, and TO have been born in
that city. Nine. Bernhardt was
named, not Sarah, but Rosalie, and
her twin sister, Ludie. Her father is
said, by the Journal du Havre, to
have been a government official,
known as Gle beaux X" who
afterwards committed suicide under
dramatic" circumstances. If all
this be true, the legend of two young
Dutch Jewesses running away from
their home in Amsterdam, and find
ing themselves penniless one morning
in the Tuileries gardens, must be dis
missed to the limbo of biographical
fantasies.

THE Texarkana Times, like many
other Cleveland journals misses the
mark by very great majority when
it imagines that Cleveland's pension
vetoes are going down smoothly.
Drawing their differences from the
tone of Texas feeling, they are utterly
oblivious of the considerable section of
the United States outside of Texas,
and in which the Union soldier vote
is a factor that cannot be lost sight Of.
The Times puts it's case much less Of
fensively than usual in the following,
in which it charges carelessness upon
the senate and house pension commit
tees:
MIR. Cleveland believes that he is
doing a service both to the people,
and the bona-fide soldier himself,
when he vetoes absurd special pen
sion bills, pitchforked by the hundred
into the white house. The cases
which they plead have almost all of
them been, trumped up by pension
agents. They have already, as rule,
been investigated by the Pension
Bureau and been pronounced fraudu-
lent, or insufficient; and they have
passed both house and senate without
any pretext of adequate scrutiny"
The Times can find no justification
for the charge thus made against the
committees of congress, and the SOL
diers, whose comrades have been so
repeatedly insulted in Cleveland's
pension vetoes, will find no justifica-
ton in their minds of such language,
and Cleveland will find no justifica-
ton therefor at the polls next No
vember.
