the presentation of "Richelieu" by T. W.
Keene's company at the Metropolitan Theater
last night, with Mr.. Keene as the Cardinal.
| Nj. Keene's support is good throughout his
assistants being intelligent and experienced
people As Richelieu Mr.. Keene made an ex-
cellent impression and won the discriminating
judgment of critical audience to his method
of Interpretation. To be sure, no one can well
go astray of the true reading of Bulwers mas
terpiece. Yet every artist has methods differing
from all other standards. Mr.. Keene in his
'make-up' and his stimulation of
great age has not been surpassed here.
He is better in those respects than Booth,
Barrett or Warde, which is saying great deal,
but 1t is verdict that cannot be truthfully
controyerted. Opinions will, of course, differ
widely as to the quality OF his reading as com.
pared with the many others who have assumed
the character. But we are prepared to indorse
Mr.. Keene's as thoroughly good, finished and
artistic work, marred by but few mannerisms.
He has voice OF very sympathetic quality,
soft, yet full, sonorous, il need be, but gentle,
rich and altogether agreeable IN its range and
variety of tone. If any had fancied that Mr..
Keene would read too heavily and vehemently
they were mistaken; he avoids those errors into
which Mr. Warde fails. If he has not the fire
and brilliancy of Booth, his is still fine Richie

Keene is deliberate and strong in depth of ex-
preston and manifest feeling. There are

his RichelIeu is a finely sustained, carefully
measured and strong impersonation. 1t is re-

found in the methods OF most leading actors
There is an underlying power and informing
spirit in his work that transcend physical con-
ditions; his comprehension is quick, clear and

PRETTY HOMEMADE RUGS.
How Ingenious Ladies Can Produce som,
Very Pleasing Results.

To make rug, plenty of perSever-
ance is needed, for it is large contract
to make one of ordinary size; but it is
very pretty work, and can be done with
ease by even those ladies whose eye
sight is failing. Purchase from some
carpet dealer a supply of scraps of tap
estry and Brussels carpeting; pieces
that are too small to be worked up into
hassocks are quite large enough for this
purpose.
Cut these into strips of any length
their size allows, but let them be of uni
form width, say three inches. Ravel
these out, rejecting the linen and col
lecting in a box the little crimped
worsted threads. Then provide yourself
with pair of the largest sized steel
knitting needles and a ball of the
coarsest crochet cotton, either white
or colored. Set on ten stitches and
after knitting row or two, to make a
firm beginning, go on as if you were MAX
ing a garter, but with every other stitch
lay thread of the crimped wool across
the needles. After knitting the stitch
take the wool which shows upon the
wrong Slucs anu bttlIl IL bOWdEu Int NJ
side, knitting stitch above TO secure
it. Then put in another thread of wool
and repeat the process The back of the
strips should be something the appear
ance of that of body Brussels carpet,
while the front should be like sort of
thick, long mapped plush.
The colors may be used without Sc
lection, making sort of 'chene" effect;
or carpets may be chosen for raveling
which show only shades of scarlet or
blue; or brown carpets may be used for
the center of the rug, and border Of
scarlet or blue sewed on all around.
After doing little of this work. many
ideas as to the arrangements of colors,
viii suggest themselves, and little
practice will enable the knitter to pro-
duce some very pleasing results.
When the strips are all finished they
must be sewed together at the back. 1t
is only for convenience that they are
knitted in strips. The rug as a whole,
would be cumbersome and unwieldy to
handle. Brussels or velvet carpet hearth
rugs, are made with strip of this knit
ting for the border, giving very pretty
finish.-Dorcas.

yond belief, especially buffalo moths.
Wash and peal parsnips, lay in milk
until ready 10 use, season. dip in -four
and fry in clear lard or butter. II the
parsnips are old parboil before frying.
Some prefer egg batter to the -four; this,
of course, is left to taste.
Thread Of all kinds should be kept
as much as possible from the air. which
rots it. If one buys thread by the
quantity, which is the economical way
of buying it, only so much as is needed
for daily use should be taken out, and
the rest put away in covered box pro-
tected from the air.
To put up furs in the simplest and
most practical way, it is only necessary
to beat them thoroughly to dislodge any
concealed moth-worms, and examine
them carefully for deposits for eggs;
then wrap them in tissue paper, after
wards in newspaper, and then tie the

Little Eddie Howard liked to ride in

used to take him out of town almost
every day when it was hot in the city.
One day. as they were riding along.
the whistle blew and the car stopped.
The driver looked, but no one wanted to
get out. why did you blow your
whistler he said TO the conductor
Il didn't whistle said the conductor,
and the car went on again.
Pretty soon the whistle sounded again,
and the driver stopped the car again.
But no one wanted to get out. The
driver was angry. Don't stop this car
again. he said, unless some one wants
to get out of it,
Il didn't stop the car" said the con-
ductor. Il didn't blow the whistle
once
Somebody did, said the driver
Il don't know who it was, said the
conductor.
The car went on again. Pretty soon
the whistle blew again. Little Eddie
Howard was sitting near the conductor.
HE didn't blow it, he said TO his
mother, 'for was looking at his mouth
all the time" The driver was cross at
the time.

McCALLA COURT-MARTIaL.
An Assistant Judge Advocate Appointed
The Talk Among Navy Officials.

The interest with which the forthcoming
trial of Commander McCalla is regarded by the
naval officials here is shown by the detail of
Lieut. Vim. ii. Stayton of the marine corps as
assistant judge advocate of the court. Lieut.
Stayton is generally regarded as pos
sessing one of the brightest legal
minds in the service. and his
duties in the Office of the Judge advocate
general of the navy, in which he has
been stationed for some years. have
fitted him for the careful conduct of a
case such AS that to be tried in
New York next Tuesday. 1t is not am unpre-
cedented thing for an assistant Judge advocate
to be ordered in a court. but it is commonly
only done when the department feels that the
case is an unusually important one.
WHAT Is THOUGHT AT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT
As TO THE RESULT.
1t is generally thought at the department
that the trial will result in some such punish
ment for Capt McCalla suspension for a
certain period, such as a year. Acquittal of
the charges is regarded next 10 impos-
slble III view OF the fact that
they were made on the basis of
the findings of a court of inquiry,
process that generally means rough sailing
for the accused officer. The particularly and
volume of the specifications indicate that the
facts Of Captain McCalas violation of the letter
of the law will be clearly shown. and it makes
ii plain that the line of defense adopted will be
that the crew WAS insubordInate and mutinous.
thus rendering unusual measures necessary.
This will be to a large extent matter resting
with the judgment of the court but il is
thought that the chances are strongly against
an eXonerstlon on such grounds.
THE BERMUDA EPISODE.
1t seems that the Hastings letter calling atten-
ton to Capt. McCallas conduct at Bermuda on
Washington's birthday was otafter all. sent to
the court of inquiry for investigation. and that
the Secretary has been in correspondence with
Its author relative to that matter. Gen. Hast

status of the measure IN connection with the
rules of the House.
The resolution was lost-67-97.
The next question was on the point of order
raised by Mr.. Kerr Iowa1 that the committee

committee on war claims to inquire INTO the

that the bill contained 2S5 claims based on
pretended findings of the Court o.
Claims. Of this number there were eight
cases where there had been no findings
transmitted to Congress. In I76 cases
the usual method of sscertaining the
LOYALTY OF the parties had not
been followed. The committee on war claims
had punched these 2s5 claims together without

fort. great deal of very animated dis

From Wall Street Today.

New YORK, April ls.-The stock market At
the opening this morning was in reactionary
mood, the realizations of the profits accrued
on the advances Of the last few days causing
first sales to be made at concessions
from last evenings figures of from = to
y per cent The inherent strength Of the
market soon asserted itself, however, and
while the general list was very dull it dis
PLAYED q firm tone, with some ap-
preciation of values. Sugar refneries
and Lackawanna, however, were still the
active features of the market and the former
continued its remarkable rise of yesterday,
moving up without a break to 6s, against Co..
last evening, and after a slight reaction ID
reached still higher figures. Lackswanna moved
only with the rest of the list, but Manhat-
tan again became strong and shot
up rapidly on light dealings 10 1l2, against
Il05s last night Late in the hour Chicago gas
and Richmond and West Point became more
active and strong, but the market presented
no other feature and at IL O'Clock il was fairly
active and strong. generally at small fractions
