..sweet lavender


There is so much that is pretty and
tender in Pinero's play of Sweet
Lavender" to be presented at the
Academy tonight, that it could not
well avoid finding favor with the
public. 1t is a simple play, but it is
so delicately written and is so tender
in its human truth that it steals over
and wins an audience almost immedi-
ately. 1t is extremely well written and
there is no strain for effect, the scenes,
the situations and the climaxes come
naturally as the plot unfolds. 1t is
such a play as every ~theatre-goer likes
to see, for it takes a firm hold on the
heart while it never quite let's so the
risibilities, SO dexterously are comedy
and pathos interviewer. Sweet
Lavender is one of the daintiest NOR
sells our amusementse seekers have tasted
this season, ends no tlOnhf ffs eeslsmy'

WHO'S cor the KEY?

fairly the types of the several great cities
and about al the States of the Union. In
that one building, covering abont four
blocks, is to be found more beauty than a
hunt through many large cities might
discover. A large proportion of the fe-
male clerks are young, or at least on the
minus side of the line beyond which lies
old maidenhood. Office life is not pro-
ductive of longevity, and many of the
elderly women have died off or reached
an age beyond usefulness. Those who
have come into the department. within the
past four or five years are mostly young
women, who have just passed through the
normal schools and have entered the Gov
eminent service through the civil service
examination. They are a bright lot Of
young women. In many cases it is, Der.
haps, that they are the prettiest girls of
the family, which inspires them with am
bition beyond the drudgery of homework
or the trials of a schoolmarm and induces
them to strive for the more agreeable work
and better pay under the civil service.
And this may account for there being
such a preponderance of good looks

General Grubb,s CITIZENSHIP.

There is something very peculiar
about the matter of General Grubb's
citizenship, and, before the campaign
goes any further, it ought to be made
the subject of serious enquiry.
Is he a citizen of New Jersey, or is
he a citizen of Pennsylvania Or is
he a technical citizen of the one State
while all his affiliations and interests
appertain to the other?
We are told, when we ask ques-
tons about the matter that General
Grubb was born in New Jersey, COM
manded New Jersey troops in the
War, and owns a homestead at Edge
water, in this State.
But, in fact, none of these things
are conclusive. A mans nativity is
very far from determining his citizen
ship. Mr.. James g. Blaine was born
in Pennsylvania, and yet he is very
much a citizen of Maine, in
deed. General Grant commanded
Illinois troops in the War. and served
in the high office of President as a
citizen of that State, and yet when he
became for the third time an aspirant
for the Presidency he did SO as a citi-
zen of New York. Finally, there are
hundreds of citizens, both of New
York and Philadelphia, who own
homes in New Jersey, country seats, at
which they spend a great deal of
time, on which they spend much
money, and in which they take
great delight. Eugene Kelly, the
banker, has a house at Orange; John
Hoey, Of the Adams Express Com
pany, has a famous one at Long
Branch. Abram s. Hewitt's place at
Ringwood is noted. And yet it
would be absurd to speak of any one
of these gentlemen or of hundreds of
others who might be named as citi-
lens of New Jersey.
Thus it is evident that neither the
undisputed facts of his nativity, or his
war record, nor his ownership of a
country home at Edgewater by any
means determines the great question
at issue.
On the other hand, there is one fact,
equally undisputed, which appears to
us to be of overwhelming Importance.
This is the fact that General Grubb
has been an ofice-holder of Pennsyl-
vania. He has held the military COM
mission of that State. has sworn al
legiance to it's constitu tion, and
marched under its banner. If any one
should ask what one circum-
stance above all others deter
mined Abram s. Hewitt's citi-
zenship. assuredly the fact that
he served the State of New York
las Congressman and as Mayor of New
York city, would be quoted. Then

Sec'y of State.

oSC y VI pOhOSs
General Grubb evidently feels the
weakness of his position himself. He
has just sent in his resignation as
commander of the City Troop. and it
has been accepted. Why did he do
SO? 1t may be conceived that if elected
he would have done so under any
circumstances. He could hardly
be Commander in Chief of one
State and a subordinate in an
other. But why does he find it
necessary to resign his Philadelphia
command, in order merely to be a can
date? Is it not because he and his
party know that at least it seriously
compromises his citizenship?
1t remains to be seen whether his
resignation will save him. Will the
voters confide their interests to
a man who was content to be
a Pennsylvania until a chance for
political preferment was offered, and
who then came over the line just to
take office. 1t seems to us that this
hasty resignation puts General Grubb
in a most undigni6ed position in both
States, and we are confident the ma
jority of the people will regard his
action in the same way.

a Hero in a COAL MING.

a few days ago at Hammond Colliery, a
rare bit Of bravery was disclosed. Pat
rick Dougherty. Hobin's leader was at
work at the gangway when Ifobin Went
up into the breast or chamber to fire q
shot. The hole where the charge was
placed was at the top of an eighteen-foot
plank elevated at an angle of seventy
five degrees. Hobin had placed in the
stick Of dualin. tamped the hole and
lighted the fuse, when in coming down
he started a great mass Of coal and vas
caught and crushed by an immense boul-
der against the wall of the breast. Dough-
eaty heard his scream, and looking up
into the dark chamber saw the spluttering
fuse. Not knowing what had befallen
his comrade, but knowing If the shot
went off Holm would surely be killed,
at the great peril of his own life he
climbed the steep plank and pulled out
the fuse within an inch Of the powder.
He found Hobin later with the life
crushed out of him.

Many articles about the house may be
frightened wonderfully by the ,applica-
ton of bronzing. If you depend on the
LIQUID bronze sold in small bottles you
will find that it costs considerable to
cover much surface. but if you buy bronze
powder, such as gas filters use onpipes,
and mix it with a size of two parts linseed
oil and one part coach varnish, you will
find that a great deal may be done at lit
tie cost. To use it, pour some OF the size
into a shallow dish-a sauce plate is good
being sure to shake it up we'll first, SO
that the oil and yarnish will mix. Put
some of the powder into another plate.
Dip your brush in the size, and mix up a
little of the powder at a time. 1t should
be thick enough to form a good body, and
must not run. 1t dries rapidly. Ii the
lustre is not enough after once going

A Girls Toilet Table.

A sensible girl will not keep a lot O.
cosmetics and drugs on the toilet table
but there are O few articles she should al
ways have in a convenient place. She
should have an array of glass-stopped
bottles containing alcohol, alum, cam
phor. borax, ammonia and glycerine or
vaseline. A little camphor and water
may be used as a wash for the mouth II
throat if the breath is not sweet. Pow
dered alum applied to a fever sore VIII
prevent it from becoming very unslghtly
and noticeable. Insect stings or corrup-
lions on the skin are removed by alcohol;
A few grains of alum in tepid water will
relieve people whose hands perspire very
freely, rendering them unE~leasantly
moist. A few drops of sulpheric acid in
the water are also beneficial for this pur-
pose, and are also desirable for those
whose feet perspire freely. We should
ALWAYS recommend care in the use OF
scented soap; in many cases the perfume
is simply a disguise for poor quality. A
good glycerine or honey soap is always
preferable. OF course one may rely on
scented soap from a high class manufac-
turer, but it costs more than it is worth.
In addition to the soap for bathing white
CASTLE should be kept for washing the
hair. Occasionally a little borax or am
monia may be used for this purpose, but
it is usually too harsh in its effects
