Teaching the New Girl.

'There's beau of yours in the parlor, %
was the style in which rather new house
maid announced a caller to the eldest
daughter of the house few days ago.
Afterward her mistress said to Bridget ::
"When a person calls to see any member
of the family you should say a gentle
man to see you, ma'am, or sir.
Bridget acquiesced quietly, but the next
day when lady called to see her mistress
she came upstairs and said:
"Please, m, there's gentleman, Dut It's
lady, to see you" ~,

The Eiffel Tower.

The whole tower could be lifted by four
men OF average strength. The case has
been proved. When It was about half its
present height q few men actually did lift
It. This is not humbug the thing is per-
fectly simple. The construction OF the
tower Is based on the cantilever principle,
and its bulk Of 6400 tons is SO adjusted as
to press on the foundation with less weight
than that OF man in an armchair on the
floor.
Is the tower beautiful No. But it has
the erect, fragile looking elegance of an
obelisk not heWn out of red granite, but
knit Of dark hued meshes. Emile Msche-

rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
BEDFORD SPRINGS, August S-As q rule
this has been a bad season for summer resorts,
but something appears to have drawn an un-
usually large crowd to Bedford. August
promises to surpass July in Numbers, and it is
noticeable that the July crowd are stayers,
some having been here the entire month. The
prominent people here have been un-
usually numerous. As the eye wanders
over the lawn at the Springs it is
attracted by the form Of ex-senator
Wallace, sitting talking to Ex-Governor
Curtin. Every now and then peal OF laughter
comes from the crowd that always surrounds
them. Judge Hawkins, by the way. is also
quite a story teller, but he and John Hampton
are trying to see who can catch the most pass or
would not bite. Then there's still another fine
conversationalist who comes to drink Bedford

lectures are exactly what are needed as stinn-
nlant. His most noticeable characteristic is
his railery against superstiutions. This is his
hobby. he has SO Keen an insight into human
nature, and draws SO largely from his own wide
experience, that 1t is no wonder his lectures
possess an unusual charm. BE is one of the
most versatile speakers who ever graced the
Chautauqua platform.
The steamers do not make connections with
the trains on the Erie road this season. In or
der to reach Lakewood in time for your train
you are obliged to take an early boat and walt
there several hours. This is very pleasing
arrangement since II obviates the necessity Of
any anxiety on your part about reaching there
in time. 1t also gives you a chance to look
about Lakewood, and If your train leaves early
in the day it has the extremely desirable effect
of getting you up early in the morning.

The Money Lender at Harris'-The B5ou
Reopening August is.
The thoroughly good company which gave
such general satisfaction in His Natural Life''
last week, will appear at Harris Theater again
this week in "Tbe Money Lender" The play
is of the sensational class, and deals with life
in Russia and the persecution of the Jews in
the land of the Czar. The plot of the play is
an original one and is clever in conception.
There are several startling scenes well calcu-
lated TO inspire an audience to intense
enthusiasm, and the comedy is clean
and artistically interspersed. A num-
ber of new stage settings will be seen,
and the costumes worn are both costly and cor.
rect. Such play and good company ought
to guarantee thoroughly enjoyable perform
ance. THE Money Lender promises to full
fill these qualifications. and the outlook for
large audiences at Harris Theater this week is
favorable.
All the places Of amusement will soon be
made in all during the summer, but of these
and of the plans of the managers for the
coming season The DISPATCH will speak in
detail next week. Mr.. Quick has re-
ing healthy and cheerful, and appear:
ing confident of another successful

impatient. II he does not succeed in interest
ing them in the first ten minutes he is doomed
to failure. The people leave until the audience
is scarcely half its original size. To be sure,
time is precious at ChautauQua, and one cannot
afford to waste it over second rate lectures, but
it cannot be decided in the first few minutes
that a lecture will not be a success, and 1t is
unjust not to give it q fair trial Many good
things are lost in this way.

place at that hour.
Mr.. Burbank, of New York, gave his first
reading Thursday evening. He is a favorite
here, so the amphitheater was well filed. In
deed, the largest audience that the amphi-
theater has held this season gathered to hear
him. He carried the people by storm. The
enthusiasm has not reached such q pitch be-
fore this season.

on the temperance reform. 1t was not as
strong as her reputation had warranted them
in expecting. She tore theories TO pieces with
out giving anything better. She does not be-
lieve in prohibition high license or local OPP

be SO restricted as to practically abolish it.
Miss Annie Park, of Boston, is again ear
