Saturday morning the wife of Barney
Coughlin, who resided at SS Lincoln
Street, Wilkes-Barre, applied to Poor
Director Marx Long for relief and told a
pitifu tale. She stated that her husband
had gone to Philadelphia some time ago
to look for work. On August a
months rent, $l2, was due. and she was
not able to pay it. Thereupon the land
lord issued landlords warrant and on
Sunday morning the constable came
there, levied on all the household
furniture and goods of every kind and
sold the whole lot for 81. Everything
in the house was taken away and the
wife and her little child were left with
out even chair to sit upon or bed to
lie on. They were in absolute desttu-
ton, without any means whatever, and
having no friends who could render them
any assistance, the poor woman was
compelled to apply for help to the poor
authorities. Mr.. Long relieved her i'm
mediate necessities, and made provisions
for her until her husband can be heard
from.

The audience was then entertained with
a scene ingeniously contrived I'd repre-
sent the interior of a railroad car,
vehicle in which Americans are pG to
make long journeys. A man IL gor-
Ceous attire entered the car carrying two
satchels and silk umbrella in his hand.
He seated himself beside a young woman
of great personal charms and proceeded
at once to engage her in conversation.
The lecturer explained that the man was
a drummer and that even
he was now engaged in''mashing" the
young woman, an art in which people
of his class usually excel. From his con-
versation which was translated by an in
terpreter it was evident that he was
skilled in the art of Discrimination and it
was also apparent that an attachment
was growing between the young woman
and himself. When the car stopped all
the male passengers rushed out with the
drummer at their head, and fell upon a
long high counter covered with pies anl
cakes. These they devoured with speed
that has probably never been equalled In
Thibet, and at the end of two minutes were
back in the car again. Then the drummer
gave the young woman of pleasing ex
terror two cakes which he had concealed
in a paper bag and she smiled upon him

1OO LII HAVE ~ SEE M NALL1s
The next character introduced was
genuine Deacon, captured" as the lee
turer explained, lin the very heart OF the
province of Connecticut" The Deacon,
who is a sort of under-priest, wore long
white chin whiskers, the badge of his
order. He was attired in suit of glossy
black and was noticeable for his seQate
and melancholy cast of countenance. He
drank several glasses of ice water in the
presence OF the audience and proceeded
to trade or exchange with two other
natives. (Horse trading is one of the
national pastimes of his province.) At
the conclusion of the sport he was seen to
possess three fine horses and large
quantity OF paper money. After the
other parties to the transactions had gone
sorrowfully away the Deacon went into
drug store and partook of glass of 1.-THE
same, as 1t is called, in accordance with
an old established custom in his native
land.
The next scene in the drama showed
the Deacon in the heart of q great city,
gazing intently at the tops of the tallest
buildings. He bore in his right hand
bag made OF fragments of the floor-cov-
ering most in vogue in Connecticut To
him came man attired in a long flowing
garment of the kind called an ''ulster'
and wearing on his head hat of shiny
black of cylindrical shape. The lecturer
explained that the new conner was
"Bunco man." or one who makes his
living by taking away from the Deacon
the money the latter had acquired by ex-
changing horses in Connecticut. In an
incredibly short time the roll of money
was transferred to the pocket of the man
with the long garment, while the Deacon
went away, weeping and waiting and
lamenting his fate.
The next quaint character introduced
by the exhibitor was what is called a
"Humorist," or one whose mission it Is to
make Jests for the amusement of the peo-
pie. He was found to be a man of middle
age, attired in an humble garb and hav-
ing face of decorous solemnity. He was
seated IN cave with the implements Of
his craft ON a table before him. In the
cave were also living goat, an aged and
vicious looking woman called mother
in-law, an empty tin can OF the variety
used in America for the preservation of
vegetables. q portion OF the skin Of the

AS reported in the Morning Tartar
and translated by our own linguistl
A numerous company of Mandarins,
press representatives and prominent
Asiatic scientists were present at the
opening of the American Department of
the Worlds Fair yesterday evening and
viewed with deep interest the entertain
ment which illustrates in graphic and
pleasing manner the customs which pre-
vail in the far-away and barbarous land,
the United States. These entertainments
are given every afternoon and evening
and the actors in them are genuine Amer
lean natives, who have been brought to
this country at enormous expense by the
liberal and enterprising management of
this department
The services of an experienced lecturer
have been secured in order to enable WISH
tors to comprehend fully the many re-
markable features of the exhibition.
The irish Boss, species of Mandarin,
was first introduced to the attention of
the audience in the drama of real life
which was enacted by the American Com
pany. 1t was explained that America
being land of perfect equality 1t is
necessary to import rulers from other
countries ana 1t is customary to get them
from Ireland, country which makes u
specially of supplying America with
bosses, or politicians. as they are some
times called.
The Boss shook hands with everybody
within reach and went into saloon, - or
house devoted to refreshment, followed
by large multitude. They all partook
of liquor, for which the Boss paid, and
then, as the lecturer explained, he prom
ised every person present, "a job on the
big pipes"
This scene represented the day before
an election. The next showed the Boss
the day after election walking with
naughty mien through the same crowd
and explaining to those who clamored
vociferously that they would have to see
McNally."

MODES In BABYLAND.
How to Decorate Cradles, Cribs and
Carriages and Baskets.

In the ever changing world of fashion
the baby comes in for large share of at
ton. Indeed the majority of people claim
that altogether too much time and care is
bestowed upon these little ones, but
mothers always think not. Nothing, says
she, is too good, too beautiful or too ex-
pensive to adorn the babe, and it is her
chief delight to fashion, with her own
loving hands, the pretty things which
are necessary to the comfort and beauty
of the baby.
Aside from the decorating of the cloth
ing there are many tasteful articles which
can be made with little expense that add
much to the dainty attractiveness of the
baby, which is sure to delight all women
The christening is quite necessary, as it
can be conveniently used, after the bap-
tism has become matter of the past. to
carry the baby upon, when baby holds its
receptions for its numerous friends. 1t is
by all means the most efficacious way to
carry baby at such time and prevents
its receiving much handling, which is not
the best thing in the world for the little
one.
A christening pillow should be thirty
inches long and eighteen inches wide,
and should be made round at one end
The dainty case is of the finest white
linen, and is made with rounded side
pieces eighteen inches long These are
tied over the body after it is laid upon the
pillow with bows of white satin ribbon.
An outline pattern, done in chain stitch
ing, borders the bottom and top of the
pile the latter being finished with
ruffle of lace.
A pretty carriage cover is made of satin
Imam bOrdpra6 with Roman on, hro; eJar.-
and finished with a wide ruffie of Valen-
ciennes lace. 1t should be made to fit the
carriage. The cradle, perhaps, receives
more care and attention than probably
any other of baby's numerous articles

The Tax ON Wilson Barrett.
In the course of recent interview, Mr..
Wilson Barrett, the English actor-man-
ager said:-
II suppose that the idea of levyingeduty
on scenery from abroad is inspired by
the wish to protect American scene
painters and costumers. 1t is said that If
L did not bring my tools of trade over /
would employ native producers. That is
a mistake.
my scenery is painted under my own
eve. watch every detail. / employ
artists that are peculiarly adapted to
grasp my ideas and carry them into ex-
ecution. They paint what | want.
could not get what | want here-the
scenes with that tone and atmosphere
which the American playgoers and critics
have seen fit to admire in Mr.. Irving's
andmy Observation-Disclosures your artists,
skillful as they may be in their own field,
are unable TO paint in that style"
MI Barrett is very much in error in
assuming that the attempt to levy duty
on his outfit was inspired by wish to
protect American scene painters and Co.'S
tuners. They get their own price for
their work, and have all of it that they
can do. The idea was to protect the
American manager, who is as much of
commercial man as a drygoods
dealer or wooden manufacturer.
He has to pay. in the cost of
his outfit, the duty which has been as
sessed on the raw material of which his
scenes and costumes are made, and there
fore his equipment costs nearly double
the sum which Wilson Barrett or any
other Englishman pays, if he is allowed
to enter his plumber free. Mr.. Barrett
comes here to compete for American
money in the way of business, just as an
English manufacturer of cotton goods or
commercial iron would come, and there is
no reason why he should not be put in the
same class at the Custom House.
His assertion that American artists
cannot paint the style of scenery he wants
is ridiculous. Let him examine some of
the scenes of Eugene Tompkins' big pro-
duction which were painted by Charles
Getz, and which are now stored in the
Boston Theatre, in which he is playing
Let him look over some of Hoyt's work at
the Metropolitan Opera House in New
York, or some of Goatcher's at any one of
half dozen theatres in town. The "tone
and atmosphere" in Barrett's flats, and
drops are about as admirable in COM
parison with the work of our American
artists as London fog is in comparison
with a clear day in New York.-Dunlap'S
