Children on the Stage.
W York Mail and Express.

FROM tine new 1ork Mail and Express.
There is money in clever child" said the
aunt of one Of them the other day, in costum-
er's shop on 5th avenue. Probably the six
most prominent children in the world to-day,
below the rank of royalty, are Josef Hofmann,
Elsie Leslie, Tommy Russell, Annie Hughes,
Lucy Webbing and Olive Berkely. 1 do not
think any of these little ones is more than nine
years old, and probably they earn in the aggre-
gate fully hundred thousand dollars a year"
How much of it did they get?"
Possibly 5000 all told. We cannot give the
children presents, sweetmeats or money. or
their careers would be spoiled. Instead, they
have lots of exercise, plenty of riding and
driving, pretty clothes. and are petted by the
public. Little Lord Fauntleroy' is responsible
for the fame of four of the children 1 have
named. Elsie Leslie is probably the cleverest
of the four, and after her comes Tommy Rus
SELL though Annie Hughes has made a great
success in England. Mothers who have pre-
cocious children should keep their eyes open
now, for Little Lord Fauntleroy' companies
are being organized for the west and new
plays will unquestionably be written to fit the
children. What stunning lesson it is to the
actors and actresses who have studied so many
years to perfect themselves in stage work when
they see one of these youngsters walk out be-
fore the footlights and draw tears from the
eyes of the most hardened theater -goers They
succeed in being natural, and without an effort
they reach height to which all actors and
actresses aspire through the medium of labor

An Unconscious Thief.

From the London Standard.
Strange stories in connection with hypnot-
ism are frequently heard in the present day,
one Of the latest coming from the town of
Nantes, in France. A few evenings ago a GER
tain expounder of hypnotic mysteries gave a
seance at the theater of Nantes. and during it
he operated upon gentleman well known by
all the townspeople. While the subject was in
trance or sleep he suggested to him that on
the morrow, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon he
should leave his Office, proceed to a certain
house in certain street, and there steal
watch, which he would find in a
bedroom. The next day the gentleman,
when the hour of 8 struck, became rest
less, and after species of inward struggle he
was noticed to take up his hat and start off at a
rapid pace for the street named. Arriving
there he entered the house, went in half
unconscious condition up to the bedroom and
took the watch, as suggested to him, several
thousand persons witnessing the theft and ac-
companying the thief, in spite of himself to
his home, where the hypnotser, who was wait
ing for him, had the watch handed to him.

The West Virginia Complications.

THE POLITICAL CONTESTS IN THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE COURTS.
The rule against Secretary of State Walker,
of West Virginia, requiring him to show cause
why a writ of mandamus should not issue, COM
polling him to lay before the legislature the
vote cast in Kanawha county for governor as it
had been certified to him, was argued in court
in Charleston yesterday. and was quashed.
Counsel for Gen. Golf Immediately made Sec
ond application for a writ of mandamus of
similar import, which was granted and made
returnable by Secretary of State Walker this
afternoon.
Yesterday the state supreme court granted a
writ against Judge Guthrie, prohibiting him
from going on with the mandamus against the
secretary of state. The time set for the argu-
ment of this matter before the supreme court
has been fixed for 8 o'clock to-day, and in the
meantime matters will remain in stdtu quo.
The vote of Kanawha gives Golf a majority
of LOG in the state, but without it Fleming has
majority of over 400, and it is the duty of
the legislature to go into joint session and de-
clare the result of the election as soon as the
two houses are organized. In the senate yes
terday afternoon the usual filibustering tactics
were carried on, and after 4 o'clock it ad-
journed until o'clock to-day, apparently as
far from organizing as ever. The number of
ballots taken by the senate up to this time is

Two Kinds of Conscience.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat
Let US take the case of a man of very meaper
culture and education, whose ancestors for
generations have been oppressed and their LOT
one of bare survival. Has he true conscience
in reference to a large range of moral ques-
tions? To be sure he knows it is wrong to steal
and he probably could be trusted not to steal
money; but how about pilfering? On the con.
trary. If your man Of culture steals it will only
be large amounts, for he despises and would
feel disgraced by pilfering. Here you have the
two extremes Of society. with a common con.
science about stealing; but it is a weak con.
science at opposite ends. The high born
fellow will not pocket a slice of ham, but
he will default in the handling of an es-
tate or bank deposits. The one is feeble
in moral judgment just where the other
is strong. These two men have also a
common moral law against murder.
Neither one dissents from the commandment
Thou shalt not kill, " but one Of them, who is
fond of society. and dislikes the burdens of q
large family, does not hesitate to commit feeti-
eide; the other would recoil in horror at such
a crime, but he is ready at q moment for a
shindy in which he is liable to kill some one or
be killed himself. In neither case does con-
science speak loudly or condemn keenly.
Your conscience is your power of morally see
ing things. II is your inherited and acquired
ability to judge whether an action il wrong.
1t Is far more easy to have a poor conscience
than 1t 10 to have good one.
