The spirit of caste so prevalent in this
democratic country Of ours has some
curious features, but none more arbi-
trary and unreasonable than this which
shuts domestic employment off from
every other field of labor as almost the
''last resort' to which woman may be
driven in her struggles for an honest liv-
ing. This spirit holds most of us more
or less firmly in its bondage, but it must
6 be admitted that it has stronger hold
upon women than upon men. Probably
because the latter are brought more
closely in contact with all classes of
their fellows than women are, and learn
to greater extent to sink the individ-
ual in the idea. The woman going to
and from her daily task, or performing
her daily duties in the kitchen, work.

misunderstanding pity by her, presum-
ably, more fortunate sister who neither

Of mutual dislike and mutual distrust
springs up between them. But this is
not all of the trouble.
If the fair daughter of fortune holds

or boOkkeeper, none the less do these,
as class, look down upon the girl who
stands behind the counter, who, in turn,
feels herself above the girl who has
learned trade. The latter looks with
contempt upon the housemaid, who,
feeling. herself despised and rejected of
womankind, yet draws rigidly the line

status and that of the woman who goes

A writer in the Boston Herald, speak

Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City, in 1882,

cat II o'clock on the morning of the
fight, as stood on the piazza of the
summer hotel where Sullivan's quarters
were and looked out over the southern
sea, thought had never seen a love-
lier day. just then a door opened from
a room on the piazza, and Sullivan
was within ten minutes of the time
his trainers were to produce him in the
ring, which.a noisy crowd was then
forming little distance away. None
OF them saw Sullivan, as none but his
own party knew where he was. AS he
came out in full fighting costume, with
light coat over his shoulders, I saw the
fighting look in his eye. But the quiet
beauty of the scene affected him as it
did me. l saw his face soften.
What are you thinking of, Sullivan?"

just then Joe GOss came up and he

feet were raised fifteen inches off the

Sullivan afterward told me he feared

SIRENS OF THE WAVES.
Water Spirits Who Lure Mortals
to Their Homes Only to Destroy
Them.

WaCer spirits Who Lure MOrtaIS
to Their Homes Only to Destroy
Them.
Gentleman's Magazine.
The Russian believes that the Rusal-
kas, or water spirits, are beautiful mai
dens who allure passers by, and if they
catch them tickle them to death in their
crystal halls below the waves. During
one week in the year they come to men
for clothes, and rags and threads are &C
cordingly hung on the trees for their
benefit. During that week, for
fear of offending the Rusalkas
and being punished by the
loss of poultry and cattle, no one
must work or sew OF wash linen. When
girls are drowned they become Rusalkas
and the wives of the watery VOdyany,
and when snow melts into floods, OF
mill-dams are carried away by swollen
torrents, men know that it is due to the
matrimonial revelry that always at
tends the celebration of marriage be-
tween a mortal and spirit of the water.
This idea of possible relation between
water spirits and human beings seems
to be a very obvious corollary
OF the idea of human-like beings
resident in the water. The idea of their
marrying mortals is at least as reason
able as the idea of their drowning
them or tickling them to death. And
with the idea of such marriage it would
be natural to connect the idea of some
benefit to accrue therefrom to the water
spirit, as well as of curious conditions
involved in the marriage contract.
Thus would arise such stories as those
OF the Undine and MeluSina. Undine,
for instance, the daughter of the stream,
by virtue of her marriage with the
Knight Hulubrand, acquires human,
and, therefore, an immortal soul. He
promises, among other things, never to
bring her near river, and when he ac-
cidentally does so loses her forever, to
be by her tickled to death on the eve of
his second marriage.

The opera, "The Gypsy Baron" is
the most tuneful of Strauss latest
works and has made hit in New York,
Vienna. Berlin and London. The story
deals with the return of a hayward
Outh-Barinkay-tO claim his fathers
estate; his love for Gypsy maiden
and the revenge of a pig dealers
daughter and the hero'S victorious re-
turn from the army. The scenic effects
are said to be fine. MuSically the score
is the best and most melOdious of
Strauss works. The mise en- scene is
perfectly bewildering, and the chorus is
said to be the handSomest ever seen
here. The march of the female hussars
in act three is one of the features of the
opera.
Few theatrical performances have
attained that degree of perfection that
has marked the different productions
seen at the Peoples. The plays them
selves have been admirable in arrange
ment, and the stage management has
not been too cOnceited to disregard the
suggestions of qualified critics which
have been made from time to time, and
the result has been highly satisfactory to
all. The excellence which is such
prominent characteristic of the PLAYS
extends more pOintedly to the company
that Manager Sterling has selected for
their performances. Individually and
as whole its members are all
that could be desired. This week
the attraction announced at the Peoples
is the play made famous by Kate Clax-
ton, entitled the 1.-TWO Orphans" which
will be placed upon the stage in the
same elaborate manner that has been
noticeable in all the mast nroduo
seen at this theater.
Four different plays are to be put on
at the Pence this week, beginning with
''Fanchon, the Cricket" for New Years
day, afternoon and evening. Monday
afternoon and evening "Fogg's FerryS
will be put on, to be followed on Tues
day and Wednesday, and Wednesday
matinee by "Bob. the Newsboy." The
rest of the week will be filled with
"Lorle, the Artists Dream" Here is

The Conried opera company, the most
perfect opera organization on the road,
is the attraction at the Grand New
Years week. The engagement will be
ushered in Monday with grand holt
day matinee. The Conried opera COM
pany carries double set of principals,
who alternate the roles, and the per-
sonnet is as follows: Laura Bellini,
prima donna soprano; Louise Bianchi,
prima donna soprano; Helen Won DOen-
hotf, prima donna contralto; Lydia
ONeil, soprano leggiero; Jennie
Reifforth, mezzo soprano; Harry De
Lorme, primo-tenOr rObusto; Sig. Tag
lieri, primo-tenor di grazzia; Jacques
Kruger, buffO; Fred Urban, primo
baritone; Harry Leslie, tenor lirico;
AdOlph Baurer, musical director.
All the principals have made fame
and fortune in organizations well and
favOrably known to the public, and as
the same people made decided hit in
the same opera, The Gypsy Baron"
it is safe to predict large business.
