THE THEATERS.
Three New Pieces Brought Ont
at the Principal Houses.
"Jim, the Penman," a Great Success" The
shatchen -" The City Directory" Crowds
the New California

The second week OF the Palmer Company at
the Baldwin in Jim, the Penman," opened to
full house. 1t Is rarely such an effect has been
produced on an audience as the acting OF this
onsummate play caused. Every act and every
scene was marked by that hush OF In
tense interest which more than the
most tumuliuous applause is evidence OF
the close hold the stage has taken on
the auditorium When the more impulsve
silters were disp osed 10 break in on this quiet
appreciation by the usual NOISY signs of approval
they were subdued by the better sense of the
majority, who were simply rapt in the continuity
of this play of admirable sequences, and did not
wish to have that mental condition disturbed.
The deus ex machina OF the whole affair Is, OF
course Mr.. Frederic Robns0n's James RalstOn,
and in the enactlOn OF the part he was quite up to
the standard which lie established on his former
ysit-the rascal, torn by conflicting emotions but
silent within the bastie OF his sinful environment
living In the light of hOnored respectful ity,
while the dark shadow OF a crime fell on him
everywhere. AS Nina, his wife, Miss Ada Dyas
played the full measure of an arduous part and
was quite as effective In the later scenes where
the terrible truth breaks on her that the father
OF her children is the feon that all Scotland Yard
is seeking, as we have seen Miss Clarence Hill
10 the same situation. One OF the most power
ful scenes In the play Is where she confronts her
husband with her forged name in the subscrip-
ton book and the letters which separated her
life from that Of Louis Percival. For the first
part. as the terrible truth dawns upon her, 1t
is a scene OF silence-it is acting without words
and the audience seemed to hold their breath, as
If afraid to break it. Mr.. Barrymore plays
Louis Percival in a fine, manly fashion, but
we miss lie Moyne in Baron Hartfeldt We
do not say Mr.. J. l.. Ottomeyer did not give
good Idea OF this chevalier d'induStrie; but II
lacked the light and shade Impaired by his pre-
decessor. In the detective, Captain Redwood,
Mr.. f. NJ. Holland reasserted himself and The
remainder Of the characters were quite up TO
the mark made by the previous presentation.
Miss Maud Harrison desired 10 play Agnes,
daughter of Mrs Ralston-the part entrusted TO
Miss Mamie Craddock-but the managerial head
that arranged the cast forbade 1t. Perhaps 1t
would have been as well had lie given consent.

THE INCOME-TAX ROLLS.
How They Got the Best of Doctors Cor

How They Got the Best of Doctors Com
mons In England.
About fve-and-twenty years ago Parlia-
ment decided on reforming the old courts
which were known collectively as Doctors
Commons. In these courts system Of law,
mainly derived from the Civil Code, was
administered, and the practitioners in
these courts were known as advocates
and proctors, the analOgues of barrls-
tiers and solicitors. Now, the changes in
the administration of law which Parlia-
ment had resolved upon effecting and the
new laws which it had determined on
enacting were certain to increase the bust
ness of those who were engaged as adv0-
Gates and proct0rS, and In no sense what
ever, actual or prospective. was these peo-
pies livelihood frome their calling liable TO
curtailment. But Parliament, led by the
precedents of unjust and supertluous COM
pensatlOns to interests which no ingenuity
could declare to be vested, agreed to give
these people compensation, apparently
because it had improved their position.
The examination Of their position led to
singular result They put in enormous
claims, and the commissioners, one of
whom was my informant, were ashast at
the liabilities which Parliament had sane
toned. But an astute member OF the board
beth0ught himself of comparing the claims
Of profits made under the old system with
the income-tax returns which these honest
people had made. The discrepancy was
enormous and the unpaid and undeclared
liabilities which were disclosed, still due
from them. went great way toward clear
ing off the liabilities with which the thought
lessness and unwarrantabe generosity of
Parliament had burdened the exchequer.
The income tax is very bad tax, and not
even the ingenuity of Mr.. Gladstone has
been able to discover a decent apology for
it. But on this occasion 1t did valuable
indirect service, for it neutralized to a con-
siderable extent an act of folly and conse-
quent fraud. l do not think that the COM
pensation to the advocates and proctors
would ever have been seriously proposed if
it had not been the case that still more in
defensible compensatiUns were given in the
acts for abolishing heritable Jurisdictions
in Scotland, and for carrying the Irish
Union. L am persuaded that, if one were
to extend the practice into cases infinitely
more defensible than those which ! have
quoted, not only would necessary reforms
be arrested, but the taxpayer would be
overwhelmed with the burdens which Par
lament, having regard to consistency,
would impose. But it is only what Juvenal
calls the chicks of the white hen who get
these superiuous favors.-Thorold Rogers

AN EXPERIMENT In HYPNOTISM.
Mrs. Winsome Tests Her Power With

Mrs. Winsome Tests Her Power With
Somewhat Surprising Results.
When young Mrs. Winsome read about
the wonders of hypnotism and how the
hypnotized subjects will was so completely
under control of the operator that he i'm
plicitly obeyed every command, she thought
in her gentle heart that she would hypno-
tie Clarence. Although they had been
married but brief time she had discovered
that, while he was most devoted husband,
there were some ways in which he was not
easily led, and she had in mind project
that needed his cooperation. That night,
after dinner and after she had sung to him
the dinner was good and he always liked
to hear her sing-Mr. Winsome was suffused
with sense of eontentment, and when Mrs.
Winsome turned from the piano and said
she was going to hypnotic him. the decla-
ration did not strike him as extraordinary,
it seemed rather only the promise OF an
added comfort.
Now Clarence" said Mrs. Winsome,
"you must go to sleep. l don't mean so
very sound asleep, but Just some"
Mr. Winsome leaned back in his chair
and feigned somnolence.
Nov, sir, GO over in that corner and
move my chair up by this side of the table"
Mr. Wins0me arose with the air OF 0m-
nambutiSt whose dreams are pleasant, and
obeyed the command. Mrs. Winsome sat
down with as much stateliness and impress
siVeness as her youthful grace would per-
NIT. and then she said:
Bring that basket place.it on the table"
The subject 0beyed.
Now, sir" said the operator, you will
bring that plush footstoOl and place it I'M
der my feet"
Mr.. Winsome mechanically complied, but
when he had approached he knelt grace
fully to fulfill the command. and in the
same moment he gently took the hand,

forth to settle the skirt around her feet,

These commands were complied with.
'You will now go to your room and get a
cigar. You will bring it down and sit in

Over n Million a Year Sent to the Orphan
Girls in LocIe, Switzerland.
There is an asylum for orphan girls in
Locle, Switzerland, which finds market
for all the old postage stamps sent to 1t.
Nearly everybody far and near acquainted
with the fact sends to the asylum his or her
secondhand stamps, and, for the
information OF those who are ignorant,
a circular is issued calling for the
contribution of stamps and also setting
forth the uses to which they are applied.
Rare stamps, of course, go to dealers or col
lectors, while the cOmmoner sorts are ap-
piled to decorative purposes. being used to
ornament screens, shades, etc., and even.
so says the circular, to paper rooms. The
circular does not saw how the American
green stamp Of the past can be used for
decoration.
Over million of stamps were received by
the institution from all over the world in
1888, and a considerably larger number last
year. The stamps are assorted by the chill
dren and put up in packages of 30 and 100
each. Those collected in 1889 were sold for
1900 francs, or $40. and those of year previ-
Gus for $3.50. This may not seem much to
Americans, but money goes further in
Switzerland than here. Persons, therefore,
who want to put their old postage stamps
where they will do the most good should
send them to M. j. Nougier, Direeteur de
