Like Victor Hugo, Alexandra Du-
mas the elder is represented in the
present generation by two grandchil-
dren only. These are the two daugh
ters Of his illustrious son, Nine. Lipp-
man and Mile. Jeannine. The first
named is a very gay, hirtatious dame,
and bothers her father a good deal by
her needless freshness of nature. There
is not a particle OF harm about her o,
her escapades, but as she is the daugh
ter Of the most famous dramatist OF
France her most innocent frolics are
sure to be noted and commented upon.
Mile. J%eannine, on the contrary, is
quiet, reserved and studious. She is
very plain, the negro type Of com.
plexion and feature being far more
pronounced in her countenance than
they are in that of Dumas himself.
This is often the case with physical
peculiarities, which will overleap one
generation to come out in n marked
form in another. Since the crisp,
curly hair of Dumas turned gray he
has entirely lost every vestige OF his
utilization with the colored race. The
elder Dumas, though he was only q
q~uadroon, was as dark as a mulatto
and showed his negro blood most un.
mistakably. Cor. st. Louis Post-D Dis

Say, do you see that girl1"
"Why, yes; she's a beauty, too"
well, you can just bet she is. !
vas engaged TO her once"
Then there was silence for the space
of two minutes, as the two men drew
near and passed the pretty young wo-
man. Then the young man in the box
coat remarked:
You didn't speak to each other.
How is that7"
"Well, you see" explained the gen
tleman with the black mustache and
gray hair, Its a very peculiar story.
Sounds like a romance, but it's true,
every word of it. l met her two years
ago down at Long Branch. She was
the daughter of an old Russian count,
who was reputed to be worth at least
half a million. Ifell dead in Iowa with
her, and she seemed t. be very much
attached to me. Well, you know
Thompsoni 1 invited him down to
stay with me for a week or two. he
came, of course. Never knew Thomp-
son to refuse an invitation. He met
the counts daughter. They fell in
love with each other at first sight. he
proposed after he'd known her three
days, and she accepted him.
"Well, it made me mad. / knew
the fellow only wanted the girls
money, so l put up a job on him. 1
told him that the count had failed,
and hat he wasn't worth a copper.
AS l expected, the blackguard went
back to New York that night, and next
day he wrote the girl a letter saying
that he had been mistaken and asked
to be released. The girl waxed indig-
nant and sent him flying, and then !
went to work and proposed myself.
She accepted me. Well, all went on
smoothly for a week when"-
What happened theni Did you
marry the grill" asked the box coated
gentleman.
Moo. You see, at the end of the
week the old count died, and when
his accounts were looked up it was dis.
covered that instead of having a half
million to his credit he was in debt 20
the tune OF 5000, 900. OF course, you
see, after hat l couldn't marry the
girl very well, you know. Much as /

George Drew Barrymore divides the
honors of Cranes new play with the
star. 1t is a remarkable sight to soc
this gifted woman doing her level best
to satisfy her mother with her work,
a womnn who, at the age of nearly 70,
is still bidding for the applause of the
multitude With Jefferson and Flor,
enc By the way, what a remarkable
family the Drews are. Think Of it, one
night the mother was playing at tho
Fifth Avenue, her son John at Days,
her son Sydney at one of the other
swell theatres, and her eldest daughter
is the talk of the town at the Star.
What is the best part of this siugu.
lar run of talent is that it is all good,
and that in the whole family there ha,
not been a bad actor or bad actress.
The mother is said to be very proud OF
ner children, but to be a merciless
critic of their acting whenever she has
an opportunity of seeing it. But it is
no secret that she is very proud of Mrs
Barrymore's work. Cor. Philadelphia
Times.
