Mrs. WinsIow Entertains a Fine Audience
Mt Mrs. Hildrups.
The Ibsen readings at the residence of Mrs Hill
drup, No. l Iowa Circle, on Saturday after
noon, drew out fine audience of some of the
most distinguished literary and well-known
cety people. The three large parlors were
crowded, and many came too late to get an en-
trance at all The great Norwegian drama tist had
a fine Interpreter in Mrs. Ewing Winslow, who,
Notwithstanding the comparatively little known
of the authors style, was able to fix and keep
the close attention of the audience throughout.
AS the play progressed the interest increased,
and her dramatic power had room to display it
self.
The play chosen was ''The Pillars of Society,""
This plays abounds in scenes that tipped
with delicate satyrs, or that touch upon the
verge of pathos, even deepening and rising into
the force of passion. Ibsen is not Shakes
peare, but he voices the advanced thought of
the times it finds expression in modern
character, and he brings out most clearly the
idea that woman is one of the moral forces in
society, and that ambition has its limit and is
followed soon or late by Nemesis until confes-
sion and repentance are compelled. The last
reading will be at the residence of Chief Justice
, Fuler's on next Saturday afternoon
| Among those present yesterday were Madame
Romero, Mrs. Otis Bigelow, Miss Dawes, Mrs
| Representative Owens, Mrs. Pomeroy, Mrs.
Soul6, Mrs Carvallo, Mrs. Cockrell, Mrs. Hill
drup, Mrs. Nordhoff, Mrs. Henry Strong, Mrs.

Dr. Pope, Mrs. Terrill, Mrs. Mum, Mrs. Gar
nee, Mrs. Guthridge, Miss Marsten, Mrs. Hay
cock, Mrs Ten Eycll, Mrs. Heuidekooper, Miss
Kate Field, and Others. Mrs Hildrup was indie
fatigable in contributing to the comfort Of her
guests. Mr.. KreutZch gave some fine piano
selections before the reading, and DR.. Piper
and DIR. Young rendered valuable service, in
seating the guests The ladies interested had
every reason to be gratified at the great sue
cess.
AT the close of the reading many ladies lin
gercd to congratulate the hostess or to ex-
change greetings with Mrs. Winslow. Mrs
Winsow has in years past been upon the stage

People who believe in placing the civil service
of the Government on strictly business basis
welcome such movements by their opponents
as that begun in Baltimore the other day, when
an anti-civil service reform league was organ
lied by the presidents of nineteen Republican
ward clubs These organizations serve to show
the sort of citizens who oppose business ad-
ministration of the Government, and afford a
most valuable object lesson on reform to the
people generally.

He told everybody that he had drank the con-
tents and was eager to end his wayward and
miserable existence, As no one seemed to care
whether he did or not, he was allowed to de-

to work the sympathy racket, but the crowd
which gathered seemed to be very callous.
