Twelve Hours a Day.

We printed in yesterdays paper a
brief cable despatch from London,
announcing that the ''tramway" COM
panies-that is to say the horse car
companies-of the Northern district
had magnanimously consented-under
pressure-to reduce the hours of labor
of their employees to-twelve hours a
day.
We wonder how many hours they
worked before, and whether they
were held responsible for the acct
dents which in the nature of things
must have been the constant result of
their overworked condition.
But are there no parallel cases in
our own protected" land. 1t seems
to us that in Republican Pennsylvania
there are men working in the mines
twelve hours a day-when mining
trusts, which restrict the output to
keep up the prices, will let them work
at all. Is there not still in progress in
Southern Illinois a revolt against
similar outrages upon hapless work
ingmen.
The Trust spirit is the same every
where,

Help the Children's Home.

1t is twenty-five years now since, on
a bleak December day, the story of

the whole city, and organized the
natural sympathy of its men and
women for suffering children, into an
active movement for their relief. The
establishment of the Children's Home
in 1864, was the outgrowth of that
touching incident. 1t was established
on a basis of pure charity, and trusted
to the voluntary offerings of a gener-
~ous-hearted people for its mainten-

Wood Carving for Women.

Miss Laura A. Fry has followed her
fathers and grandfather's profession
of wood carving since 1876. When
asked whether she could recommend
the craft for women, she answered,
'As regards skill, ome may be-
come as dextrous wood carvers as
men, but wood carving is as much an
art as is the sculptor's, and art, for
arts sake, must be the creed of it's fol
lower. AS a money making work it
is a failure, for the materials are
costly and the process slow. In a
modified form, however, as in design
ing appropriate decorations for furni-
ture, it is full of possibilities. -NeW

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY


A number of prisoners have been
discharged from the County Jail be-
cause there were no indictments found
against them. This raises an interest
ing question. Is there no redress for
these people? The result of the Grand
Jury's investigation of the case clearly
shows that they were wrongly i'm
prisoned in the first place, and if that
is the case there should be some salts
faction for it. That sort of business
may be all right in Russia and some
other countries, but it should not be
allowed in this country. We think
when a justice of the peace or any one
else sends a man to Jail on such slimsy
evidence that he cannot be indicted,
that the committing magistrate should
be held accountable and made to suffer
for it.-PaterSon cal.

snnhnwsrs and Malaria.

In a recent issue of the Russian
medical journal, MedftSinG, a con-
tributor emphatically draws attention
to the common sunfiower as an ex-
cellent and cheap substitute for qui
nine in the treatment of malarial
fevers of all possible forms. The
remedy has been from time imme-
mortal used for the purpose in the
Russian, as we'll as Persian and Turk
ish popular medicine, and that mostly
after the following plan:-A flask is
filled loosely with finely cut dry or re-
cent flowers and stem, and then with
vodka aqua vitae. The Theoretically
corked vessel is left to stand under
sun rays or at some warm place for
two or three days. The tincture is
then ready for use, and should be
given as a small wineglassful three
times a day. In recent cases com
plete and permanent cure ensues in
from one to three days; in most OBJ
stinate and inveterate, not later than
a week. The remedy proved success
full even in such cases where quinine
and other anti-malarial means failed.

Frederick Warde as Virginius.
Frederick Warde and his company
gave Virginius at the Academy of
Music last night. The performance
was admirable, and the only thing to
cavil at was the lack OF suitable
properties" and the outrageous
character of some of the scenery. 1t
is surprising that an actor who habit
ually appears in plays the scene
whereof is laid in Ancient Rome
should not have fasces for his lictors.
The people are so accustomed to the
with the legend rs. P. Q. r." that
must have been offended at the
symbols of authority.
This fault, however, might be
leniently regarded. But what shall
we saw of the intrusion into the
Roman Forum of a street from modern
Jersey City, with modern store fronts,
bearing such signs as Mack, dry
and the like. This was a preposterous
anachronism which a theatre, gener-
ally so well managed as the Academy.

trate. and Mr.. Warde should not have
allowed it.
Fortunately, faults such as this
were lost sight of in the general ex-
cellence of the acting. 1t may be
said, generally, hat every part was
we'll sustained. Miss Stella Rees
{Virginia) has q very pretty face,
beautiful arms and a modest mein.
Mr.. l.. F. Rand (Dentatus) is an actor
of great merit. We could find
no fault in his performance.
He is in particular a polished elo-
cutionist. His reading of his lines
would do credit to any stage in the
world. Mr.. Clay Clement does not
impress us as a pleasant actor. His
part, however, Appius Claudius, is a
very unpleasant one, and even his
faults contribute to make his present
alton of it effective. He certainly has
some fire in him. Once.
if Jul a did not be-
tray us, he spoke of the
handmaiden of Jove in one syllable,

him an injustice; but this is a shock
ing blunder. Mr.. Warde should teach
him to pronounce the name in two
syllables, thus He-be. OF Mr. Charles
w. Sutton we can say that he played
the trying part of Icilius aeceptably-
hardly more. The minor people were
sufficiently good not to man the gem
eral effect.
But what of Mr.. Warde, the star,
who in this part for the first time this
week came into competition with the
various great artists who have played
it upon the same boards. Virginius
was the especial part of John Me-
Cullough, and the conception of the
present generation of theatregoers is
founded on his presentation of it. 1t

CAMERON Fashion Notes.

So long as they are young and
handsome the Cameroons women pay
great attention to their toilet. The
petticoat, which reaches down from
the hips to the ankles, must be
thoroughly smooth and clean, and the
apron which is worn under it, is as
spotless as the und~er-clothing of a
European lady. Their hair is woven
by professional hair-dressers into
braids of various shapes, without
grease and usually without ri
ments, although a woman occasionally
is found who wears a string of beads
around her head. The dressing
usually lasts for a week and is bound
up at night in a cloth for protection.
1t is also a part of the ha~ir-dressers
business, which is carried on in the
street, to pull out the lady's eyelashes.
A string of pearls or some other orna
ment of European origin is worn
around the neck. The shoulders,
breast and belly are covered with
ornamental tatooing in red and blue,
apparently centering at the navel.
Elaborate rufies of ivory or metallic
rings are worn upon the wrists and
ankles. n1PopUIG9 Science Monthly.

Lovemaking in Italy.

All court circles delight in gossip,
and nowhere is more material fur
nished than in Italy. Italians think
of nothing else but making love.
Filtration is unknown; it is always
desperate, earnest there. The chape-
ron is a necessity. Women speak of
their lovers with a frankness that
would amaze us here. In the family
circle, at dinner, in the presence of the
children, subjects are discussed and
stories told that would never be men
toned even in private with us. If
Mrs. Chamberlain finds it necessary
to seek a retreat from polite drawing
rooms in London she would quickly
fy from Rome. -Bufalo Ne1Ds.

Appius. And that yoice-we never
hope to hear again a voice
so wonderfully strung up to the pitch
of rage. Virginius, Spartacus, The
Bondman, those characters wherein
the physical, the masculine men
was predominant, these were McCul-
lough's own, and he is a hardy man
who tries to take the laurel from his
tombstone.
But if Mr.. Warde could not drive
the image of his great precursor from
the minds of some, he must have SET
up no contemplate ideal OF his own
among those whose minds were open
to new impressions. His play
ing. was scholarly, yet ener-
getic; thoughtful, yet ylriie.
Did he rise to the heights
of great tragic passion? We did not
think so; but we were following Nc
Cullough with the inward eye OF recol-
lection. He certainly carried the
house with him. The women wept
openly. The men-well, we think a
good many of them kept very
quiet indeed, for fear that they,
too, might betray moist eyes.
One German gentleman. in
deed, who occupied the seat behind
us, blubbered and wiped his cheeks
with Teutonic frankness.
Space fails us to follow the
impersonation, scene by scene,
as we could wish, and as
Mr.. Warde indeed deserves. we
are obliged to rest content with these
two broad impressions-that resulting
from comparison, and that based on
the actors effectiveness with his au-
dience. To sum up our W estimate
of Mr.. Warde's position among the
actors of the period, we regard him as
an excellent but hardly a great artist:
He seems to us to possess the highest
talent rather than genius, manliness
rather than passion. In his methods,
while he never errs so far as to offend
good taste, he seems to us to strive or
facial expression furtherthan absolute
refinement of style permits. He I'M
doubtedly has before him a highly
successful career; but we doubt II he
ever rises to the fame or the favor OF
Booth, Salvini, or Irving, or of the
great names which are written in the
history of the stage. J. L.

A Knowing Collie.

The following is a true story about
a collie who took a hanson. He was
lost in Oxford, SO, after having spent
some time in looking for him his mis-
tress went home, and what was her
surprise when she arrived to see him
in the hall. The butler told her the
story and it was this:-tAfter the dog
had been lost he saw an empty han
som, which he got into; the cabby
could not get him out, for he showed
his teeth. Cabby called a policeman,
who could not move him either, but
with some difficulty they read the
name and address on the collar, and
settled it would be best to drive him
home. When he arrived the cabby
rang the bell and asked for his fare
(Which he of course got), and then the
butler opened the doors and the dog
jumped out as if nothing had hap
pened. "-London It'd Bits.

THE jury in the Carman inquest
found the aged gateman guiltless and
the railroad company blameable.
They formulated some objections to
practices now common at crossings,
among which may be mentioned that
of assigning too few men to look out
for them. They pointed out the
danger. of allowing freight cars to
stand in such a position as to obstruct
the gateman's view. The Pennsylvania
road in this city, we rejoice to reflect,
will soon bean over head line, but there
will be many grade crossings remain
ing, and the work of death will go on.
So will the peril and annoyance; the
hurrying and lodging under gates;
the waiting in horse cars, and the
thousand several ills with which we
are all so familiar. 1t is impossible to
make grade crossings safe or convent
ent, but the jury's recommendation,
if followed out, may make them less
deadly.
