Among the most interesting photographs are
those that illustrate the enormous glaciers that
make this region one of special interest to the
geologist. In this field of research Mr. Russell
is an expert and an acknowledged authority,
having devoted years to the study of glaciers
and glacial action in Switzerland and in our
own Sierra Nevada. Alaska is becoming so
well known to tourists nowadays that everyone
reads great deal about its beautiful scenery,
but there are very few who have penetrated
into the interior and followed up its glaciers
all the way from the cliffs of ice where they end
at sea-level to the trackless waste of snow where
they have their birth. Mr.. Russell was mem
Der of the old Wheeler survey, and previous
to that he was on the staff of the United States
transit of Venus expedition in 1874. At pres
ent both he and Mr.. Kerr are members of the
United States Geological Survey, which coop
Grated with the National Geographic Society in
sending out this expedition. This city is fort
unate in being the first to have chance to hear
a complete and authentic account of the trip
from the leader himself, and the lantern slides,
selected from hundred or more that were
taken convey very graphic realization of the
scenes described.

contradicted by other advices and by the course

kind ever occurs IN London that is not set down
by the special cable correspondents of the New
York papers as an emphatic success. Mrs. Lang
try's appearance in Antony and Cleopatra is
the latest case in point The cables call it de-
cided success, which no one at all acquainted
with the quality of Mrs. Langtry's very moderate
dramatic talent can credit for an instant. Mrs.

has some capacity for revealing it, but it is as

National Theatre for the ensuing week This
most expert OF magicians has made aworld-
wide reputation and fine fortune by proving
the fallacy of the old adage that ''seeing is be-
lieving." He performs his various feats with
such consummate grace and ease that even the
most lynx eyed individuals are deceived There
is as much pleasure for the spectator in Herr
mann's manner of doing thing as in the thing
he does. His skill is amazing. Herrmann's
programme this season consists OF many new
and wonderful illusions, and two entirely new
acts OF his matchess magic. Hermann has a
strong card with him this season in the person
of Prince Avata, a royal japanese juggler and
equilibrist. Prince Avata has only been in this
country two weeks, having been engaged
through cable in Paris especially for Herr
mann's entertainment. His act was very favor
ably received in Baltimore, where Hermann
played last week. Herrmann's programme in
cludes besides Prince Avata, lie Cocon,' (the
evolution of chrysals to a butterfly;) new
black art Florne, child of the air; the Resur-
rection of Crowley, Fata Morgana, Mephisto's
realm, visions of fairyland. and other things too
numerous to mention. Hermann is ably as
sisted in his entertainment by his charming
wife, Madame Hermann, and Abdul Khan, an
East India fakir. At the matinee Thanks
giving Day, also Saturday, a specially prepared
programme for the ladies and children will be
given. Each child will receive bon-bons and
beautiful flag, made on the stage in full view of
the audience by Hermann.
Held by the Enemy" at Harris's.
Only words of praise have ever been spoken
of William Gillette's famous war play, Held

Harris's Biiou Theatre next week. The story
of the play is one of the brighter threads run

There is dash and spirit to it that holds the
interest from beginning to end, Pathos and
comedy run hand in hand. The heart is thrilled
with noble sympathy, and ones whole being

The Special Train to New York for the
Launching of the Maine.


Launching of the Maine.
The special train provided by the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad for the conveyance of Secretary
Tracy and his party to New York is one of the
handsomest that ever left this city, from which
so many handsome trains have started. 1t is
composed of a Pullman combination vestibule
smoking-car and five sleepers The perfectly
appointed combination smoker, "Raleigh," for
the especial benefit of the gentlemen, leads the
van; it is followed by the drawing-room car,
"Ideal," containing six drawing-room compart-
ments, the most unique in construction of any
car ever built in this country. Then come the
four sixteen section vestibule seepers the
"Brazil," the "Africa,'' the "Canada,' - and the
"Stratford." Two of these latter cars will enter
the service for the first time on this occasion,
but the Others have been withdrawn temporarily
from the equipment OF the celebrated "Pennsyl-
vania Limited" They are fitted up in that
magnificent yet tasteful style for which the
Pullman people are noted, and contain between
their trucks and roofs every comfort and luxury
that the launching party could demand while
en- route.

in a most impressive manner the rugged scenery
of the famous st. Elias Range, with its enor-
nous glaciers and snow-capped peaks. 1t will
be remembered that the result of the eXpedi-

height of Mt st. Elias, reducing the previous
wild estimates of upward of 1900 feet to the

of comedy that carries the audience away in
the most happy and pleasant thoughts, while
they laugh with redoubled energy, and the tear
stained eyes sparkle anew with merriment. 1t
is this interlacing of the pathetic, the patriotic
and tie humorous that makes the production a
literary gem worthy of the highest honor No
one is starred in the cast now presenting the
play, but every member of the company has
been selected with an especial view to his or her
fitness for their respective roles Consequently
a flushed and very enjoyable performance may
be counted upon. The cast includes many we'll

Aupustin DnlH,s Hobbies.


OF all the men engaged in the the
atrioal profession, there is none whose
name is more familiar TO the public than
Augustin DAILY, and yet he is rarely, if
ever, seen in public places. His one
hobby seems TO be his theater; but he
has another, and that it his the
atrical library, which is, perhaps, the
finest in America. There are rare
volumes of Shakespeare, and no
end of available plays In manu-
script. The services of woman are en-
uscripts and keep them in order. Mr..
DAILY has many scores of plays that have
never been acted, and, perhaps, never
will be. Whenever he hears that a rare
volume is tor sale he hunts up the book
store and purchases it. He knows the
value of such book as well
as any bibliophilist in this
country. Personally, Mr.. Daily is
one of the most charming Of men
to those who know him, but to those W no
not he may seem gruff, abrupt and even
offensive. He does not mean to be so.
In his coZy office he is q brilliant CONVEX
topic pertaining to stage matters. He is
one of thu few theatrical managers who
keep in the background. He is seldom
seen in public places, and he never goes
to dinners or makes public speeches. He
is as shy as school girl, and his great
success has not turned his head.

gentlemen, that you praise so highly
really cost me 81 apiece!''
That was the fact. Mr.. BeecheT' s
hennery was well stocked with chickens,
but the cost was nearly fifty times as
much for each article grown on his farm
as he could have purchased it for in New
York. And that was what Mr.. De-
pew in his remarks pointed out. He es-
tImated that each egg that came from
the farms of these millionaire members
OF the Farmers cost 81 apiece. The
butter was almost worth its weight in
gold. The pork and hams and beef footed
up to an alarming extent. Charming
on Fifth avenue said Mr.. Depew,
- and blowing in Wall street, is all right
enough for US here, but it is not farming
after all. And there was a shout OF
laughter at this sally that made Presi-
dent Sloan roar with laughter, for only q
few moments before that Mr.. Depew had
described him as he saw him, one day on
his farm, in his shirtsleeves, with his
suspendeTs hanging down over his panta-
looms, and the COWS running all over his
garden patch.

DR.. Talmage on sudden Death,

A party of gentlemen were this week
| discussing the recent expression of opin-
ion of Lord TennYson, who. in a letter of
! coincidence on the occasion of the death
| of common friend, said:
| cannot but look upon our friends
! death as a happy enc. But our liturgy
| enjOins us TO pray to be delivered from
! sudden death. For my part, it is the one
! that 1 should pray for.
Among those present was the Rev. Y.
| Dewitt Talmage Of Brooklyn, and he
was asked for his opinion on the subject.
| The great pulpit orator seemed buried in
| thought for moment, and then began:
'ln my opinion men should leave the
| question as to how death should come to
| them to the Master of life and death.
| He is the best judge, as He is the su-
| preme dictator in those matters. 1t is Il
common thing to hear men say that they
wish for sudden and unexpected
death. It is a common thing for men
and women to dread lest they shonld be-
fore death suffer protracted pain or eX-
tended Illness, or poverty when i'll All
these are common feelings. 1t is also
common, L find, for many persons to
wish that they may not be suddenly met
by death in the pu bile service or in pri-
vate. They will meet sickness or priVa-
ton with patience, if they but know that
they will be apprlsed when the end is to
come. 1 can understand there are Tea-
sons for this. Many men, knowing that
they must die, wish to die with their
loved ones about them, with the knowl-
edge that their earthly affairs are in or
der, and that they are fully prepared to
meet their Divine Master.
''There is beauty in the Christian
death wherever it is met. 1t may be in
a mansion or in howell. It may be on
the battlefield, in the recesses Of mine,
in the public street or any other circum-
stance II is all the same
''For myself, continued DR.. Tai
mage, 81 can only say have no desire to
dictate the time or Kramer of my death.
] s for the Master to call and for me to
answer when the call is made. 1t
is not my place to question. I am salts
fled to leave life and death to the
higher power that controls them. OF
course in this 1 speak of myself. That
men do wish that when death shall come
1t shall come suddenly know, and that
other men have altogether different ideas
I also know. Death is much and vari-
ouslY discussed. Meet it when and
where and how the Master orders we
must. Meet it as Christians can we
should. And then we need not fear. -

voice had the ring of music in it. He
was an ideal preacher, for he always
selected topics that were interesting
to young men and women. If he
had not been a preacher he would
have made great actor. His style was
dramatic in the extreme To-day his
shoulders are stopped. He has lost
something of the nattiness of dress that
once distinguished him; he has grown
much grayer, and the fire of youth seems
to have entirely died out of him. Person
ally, however, he is one of the most gen.
ial of men. He lives in the New Jersey
suburbs, comes to the Herald office every
morning and returns early in the after
noon. He is never heard in the pulpit
these days. Why this is so is a mystery,
even to his friends. For he was vastly
better preacher than editor.
