the stage. lumlny companies the jealousy
behind the srp.nr. irl~ made nearly every
member the enemy If all the others. OF
course every play gives one or tw0 ACTORS
better opportunities than others have, and
the unfortunate ones almost invariably
blame their fellow actors rather than the
playwright. Ii one actor gets more ap
plause than the others he j. generally
pretty thoroughly ha'ei. In one case Of
which | know, the leading man had a love
scene with the leading woman. in which
she generally carried off the honors. ON
night, while lac was apparently embracing
her in "a most afTectionate manner, he
was in reality pinching her arm in an effort
TO make her break in her part and
queer" the scene. But she bore the pain
without wayeriug in her pro~testations Of
love for a moment, or expressing the slight
est surprise at treatment which must have
aroused all the wrath that was in her. OF
course this WIS an extreme instance, and
the actor was promptly discharged when
the manager was told the facts: but it il
not at all unusual to he told by one actor
or actress that another is always ''hogginR
the center" or ~''hogging" something else,
when in reality the player referred Ia 1.

CHARITY BALL.
She has been on the stage about nine
years, having first appeared rs Dolly
Dutton in that charming creation, Hazel
Kirke." which Steele Mackaye gaye us.
Her work in that play, its companion
piece, May Blossom and in DE Mile and
Belasco's, ''The Wife, and 1.-The Charity
Ball" practically covered her stage career
up to this season, when she began TO de-
light New Workers in "The Idler."
But while Mr.. Frohman seldom gives
us an opportunity for realizing the fact, it
is the old comedies which give Miss Cayvan
the best opportunity for showing the re.
markable versatility and d~elicacy of her
talent. As Lady Teazle In "The School for
Scandal" she was inimitable.
1t is hard to get her to talk about the
stage. When she is in Harlem the Lyceum
theatre seems to be AS far away in her
thoughts rs Chicago or the middle of the
Atlantic, and in her dressing room it j.
apparently not much nearer. IL must not
be inferred, however, that she does not
love her profession or that she j, not am
bilious. Only she is more Of "A woman than
an actress.
For that reason IL is surprising to learn
that She prefers parts well sailed with vii
lainy, and abhors what she calls the
''sweetly sentimental" She wants plenty
of work, vigor and expression H. her parts.
Monotones, particularly of grief, disgust
her. Another thing which she emphatic.
ally objects Ia she puts under the head of
''long runs" but unfortunately for her the
public does not agree with her ON this
score. II takes the theatregoers a long
time to tire of Miss 'ayvan in a part. Dis.

I,ightning's Freaks.

Last Sunday morning thunder shower
came up about half past ten. The flashes
of lightning were vivid and the peals of
thunder closely followed. At about II
o'clock streak Of lurid lightning was fol-
lowed almost Immediately by tremend-
Gus clap of thunder and in few seconds
the Medothist congregation was startled by
cloud of smoke coming in the wirdow
on the Market street side Of the church.
With one accord the congregation arose
and started to leave the church, isatistied
that the lightning had struck close by and
caused a fire. The excitement was so great
that the Rev. Mr.. Sears dismissed the au-
dience. The smoke came from the stove in
the house of Mrs. Smith. But the lightning
did strike the steeple of the New Presbyter-
ian church, and though II did not set fire to
it, it tore the scaffolding down and sent the
boards fiying In every dir ctiou. But little
damage was done. After this stroke the
weather cleared and in few moments the
sun was shining.

gateway Of the one we visited, we found
ourselves in large open yard going across
which we passed through broad open
portico, then across another open court TO
the immense hall Of worship, the ceiling of
which was supported on 80 tremendous
pillars Of teak wood. The hall contained
simply small shrine covering the EN-
peror's tablet, q small, cheap piece of red
wood. Still further back In another court
stood his monumental grave stone, in
pavilion raised some 30 feet, and last, be-
hind all, was his grave mound, perhaps
seventy feet high, planted thick with
cedars. Passing out and going to the
southern entrance to the valley we saw the
most interesting part Of the grave yard,
perhaps two miles from the grave we visit
ed, being an avenue OF stone animals, life
size, lions, tigers, elephants, csmels, rhi-
noceroses and horses, and ending with 10
figures Of men, the whole making an ave-
nue. three-fourths of mile in length. 1t
was not beautiful, as there we're no trees,
but II was very odd and interesting each
figure being cut out of solid block Of
