Huntington st the theatre. Another disturb
ing element in the relations between star and
manager was the part given to Miss Hunt

The part was originally written for
tenor, and she consented to take it with the
understanding that it should be placed TO her
voice wherever necessary. She insisted that
the score did rot allow her TO bring out her

Neither Of the Coquelins is handsome; in

There was a reaction, of course, when the
public learned the facts. No palpahle inqui-
ty stands long against popular indignation
when the public is once thoroughly satisfied
that it is an iniquity, and in this matter there
was no chance for an argument. The reac-
ton took the form Of 'Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children which was
modelled after Mr.. Henry Bergh's famous So
ciety for the protection of brutes.
It is presided over by very wealthy gen
tleman named Elbridge T. Gerry, who is
equally eccentric and equally conscientious
with Mr. Bergh. The cause he espoused was
50 obviously praiseworthy that the society
found no trouble in procuring the passage of
numerous laws intended for the protection
of the little ones, and very little trouble in
getting extraordinary powers delegated to
its officers in the execution of those laws.
Among the statutes alluded to was the one
just mentioned relative to the employment
of children under sixteen years of age in
theatrical performances and the like
1t viii surprise a large portion of the pub
hc-though not those who go TO the theatres
to know that this law is absolutely dead
letter.
There are more than q hundred children
performing publicly on the stages of the
New York theatres every night, all of whom
are under the age mentioned, and many of
whom are wee, little creatures, hardly able
to speak plainly.
Section 292 of the penal code says: GA
person who employs or causes to be en-
ployed, or who exhibits, uses or has in Gus
tody, or trains for the purpose of the exhibit
ton, use or employment of, any child appar-
entity or actually under the age of sixteen
years; or who, having the care, custody or
control of such child, as parent, relative,
guardian, employer or otherwise, sells, lets
out, gives away, so trains, or in any way
procureS or consents to the employment or
to such training or Use or exhibition of such
child; or who neglects or refuses tqSestrain
such child from such training, or Nom en-
gaging or acting in a theatrical
exhibition, is guilty of q misdemeanor."
The law further provides that any fines,
penalties or forfeitures imposed or collected
for violation OF this provision Of the code
must be paid on demand to the Incorporated
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, IN every case when the prosecution
shall be instituted or conducted by such
society.

Drifting Apart" an emotional play that
has just been played for short engagement
in Harlem, has a child's part in it which was
taken by Mabel Earle, who is almost a baby,
but who does such work as adults find sufi-
Gent for their powers. The part is a long
one, and there is death scene in it which,
acted as she acts, is q strain on the nerves
that would be severely felt by anybody.
The announcement is made that on March
81, Little Tuesday will take part in
Sanger's play called Pine Meadows" Little
Tuesday" although only three and half
years old, selected her own name. Her par
ents called her Little Tootsy, but she changed
it, and they acquieSced in the change. She
is spoken of by Mrs. Fernandez, who has
trained all or nearly all the children now on
the American stage, including her own
daughter BIjoU Fernandez, as truly Won
derful child. She sings recites and dances
with remarkable ability, and gives an imita-
ton of Richard Mansfield IN Richard II!
such as few actors can equal She has al

GEMS OF THOUGHT.


Take things as they are and make the best
Of them.
Each day is little life our life is but a day
repeated.
1t costs more to revenge injuries than to
bear them.
There is no surer way of having everybody 3
help than by trying to help everybody
Stupidity is to the mind what clumsiness is
to the body. 1t exhibits just the same fatal
power of mischief in its own way.
Life is too short to be wasted in petty wor-
ries, frettings. hatreds and vexations. Let
us Danish all these, and think on whatsoever
things are pure and lovely and gentle and Of
good report.
However good you may be, you have
faults; however dull you may be, you can
find out what some of them are; and, how
ever slight they may be, you had better make
some patient efforts to get quit of them.
Evils in the journey of life are like the
hills which alarm travellers upon their road;
they both appear great at distance, but
when we approach them we find that they
are far less insurlnountabic than we had i'm
agined.
Ability Is often reinforced by necessity. He
that will not suffer himself TO oe discouraged
by fancied nnpessibihfiss may sometimes find
his abilities invigorated By the necessity cf
exerting them at short intervals, as the force
of current is increased by the contraction
of its channel.
It is a great mistake to suppose that the
best work Of the world is done by peopIe Of
great strength and great opportunities. Ii
is 1xsGusstionably an advantage to have bot5
these things. bat neither of them is a neces
sity to the man who mas the spirit and the
pluck TO achieve great results. Some of the
greatest work of our time has been done by
men of physical fech!eaess. - Montreal Star

His voice ranges from low G. TO high G and
he handles it with wonderful ease
And yet Blatchford Kavanagh is neither a
prodigy nor a phenomenon. He is better
than both-he is an artist. Says writer in

A Law WHICH is NOT ENFORCED.

1t Says That Boys and Girls Under Six

Are More Than a Hundred Who Do.
The people Of the state of New York,

under 10 years of age should appear on any
theatrical stage as a performer. The many

led to the passage Of the law, are matters of
history too familiar for repetition here 1t is
an unhappy fact that easily within the mem

| WAsHINToN, June l6 1t is said that
there will be no vote on the silver bill OF
any of the pending amendments in the
senate for day or two, as several mem
bers have yet to speak on the subject
Senator Jones, of Nevada, when ques.
toned as to the character OF the bill the
senate would pass, he answ cred that it
seemed quite probable now that it would
be for free coinage. He said the effort
to secure the p.edges of a majority of the
senate to vote against free coinage had
been failure, and the inevitable result,
he thought, would be the passage of bill
including that feature.

and are very sangune of success, al,
though the senior colonel in each of the
corps is we'll equipped with infunce and
