Their triumph has been complete, and it
has come without effort other than that
which any conscientious artists would put
forth to give 1heir hearers as much as they
had paid for. There has been no sensa-
tional advertising. The have
not been worked" The extensive space
given them has been wholly unsolicited.
1t has been merely filed with interesting
talk about two interesting people.
SO satisfactory was their first American
season that they decided to repeat the ex-
pertinent last fall, and after thirty-three
weeks Of performances they will sail back
J to England again June 3, having more than
repeated their previous pleasant expert
ences. Their financial and artistic success
has been simply wonderful. Everywhere
the theaters have been crowded when they
appeared. But what deserves to be more
particularly noted is that they have not
only captured our dollars, but they have
won our hearts. They have been eagerly
and heartily received socially to an extent
not recorded Of any other actor or actress,
native or from abroad.
In almost every city they nave been en-
tertained with a l~avishness that only
Americans are capable of. Favors of all
sorts have been loaded upon them. Friends
in one city have found out where they were

TO have them taken care of there. Says
Mrs. Kendall; sit is simply wonderful, the
delightful hospitality of the Americans.
In Chicago l met a lady socially who lived
in Cincinnati. She learned that we were
going to play there, and she actually went
home to prepare an entertainment for us. ;"
In view of all these things it is not sur
prising that they have decided to come
again. Oct. 6 they will once more open in
New York, and as Mr.. Kendall has taken a
London theater on a long lease, beginning
with the season of 1923, 1t will probably
be their last American tour.
They may be said to occupy a unique
place among actors. Mrs. Kendal's maiden
name was Robertson, and in a little book
which she wrote once she said:
Both my father and mother were on the
stage, so were my grandfather and grandmoth-
er, so were my great~-grandfather and great
grandmother, so were my great aunts and un-
Giles, my simple aunts and uncles, my brothers,
my sisters, my nephews, my nleces. hardly
have u relation in the world that hasn't been
on the stage.
She made her first bow to an audience
when she vas three years old as Little Eva,
in Uncle Toms Cabin" From that time
she has risen, until in England she is known
as the "Matron Of the Drama"
Mr.. Kendall has been on the stage thirty
years. In 1869 he was a member of the
Haymarket Stock company, in London,
and during the year Madge Robertson
Joined it. Within the twelvemonth they
were married. Since then they have prac-
tically never been separated, and their do
nestle life has been so happy that it has
become something for which they are as
famous as they are for their art. That
this should be so unusual among actors
and actresses as to cause remark is q pity,
but 1t is true. In the very mid OF public

Saturday morning, at the Massachu-
sets General hospital, a little instru-
ment, invented by DIR. Mixter, wonder
full in its simplicity, constructed so as
to separate quite large portions of cpl
dermis from the simultaneous tissue,
was used for the first time.
The patient had been etherized, and had
undergone an operation for the remova
of a cancerous growth from the left
breast, and the wound thus made was
quite an extensive n The instrument
vas applied to the anterior portion of
the right thigh, and three strips. about
an inch wide by six inches long, were
taken off and transplanted to the ex
posed surface of the breast. The opera
ton of removing the skin and trans
planting it to its new quarters did not
occupy more than about six minutes.
A very few days will suffice to restore
the denuded surface of the thigh to its
normal condition, leaving few traces of
the reparative process to which it has
contributed. and, other things being
equal, the surface from which the can.
cerous tumor has been excised will heal
over by first intention, thus saving the
patient from a prolonged and painful
period of convalescence. OF course, every
|precaution is taken, by the use of steril-
izing processes and antiseptic solutions, to
render the operation thoroughly aseptic,
so that the chances of inf,ammatory dis
turbances from bacterial sources are re-
duced TO the lowest minimum.
The thickness of these delicate human
p~lasteis probably does not exceed one
sixtieth of N inch, and the resulting
hemorrhage is not more than what one
sees on a slight abrasion of the skin, or
it may be compared to the sanguineous
oozing one gets from too earnest tonsorial
attention. Boston Herald.

Thomas H. Davis, theatrical man
ager, says: "This season on the road has
been remarkable, in that the better class
of plays have received more encourage
meut than ever before. On the other
hand many of the cheap spectacular and
operatic companies have lost money or
gone to pieces. The truth is that the
people outside of New York are becom-
ing quite as good judges of dramatic
performances as can be found in the
metropolis, and any effort on the part of
cunning managers to humbug them
stands a poor show of success. In my
experience find that New York is be-
coming less and less a factor in the sue
cess of any dramatic production. The
time was, a few years ago, when a sue
cessful run in New York decided the
fate of a piece. 1t is now no longer the
case. New York Herald.

Edward Malley was eating a dinner at
Heublein's recently, and among the first
dishes served was oysters on the half
shell. He picked up one of the oysters
with his fork from the shell, and his eye
was attracted by Il white substance which
had been concealed under the oyster. 1t
was n pearl of extraordinary size and ex-
~ceptionally fine quality, although it was
entirely in the rough state. 1t was ex-
amined by several gentlemen who were
present, and it was universally conceded
to be a remarkable gem. Mr.. Malley
placed its value at $50, and this estimate
was accepted as being none too high.
He proposes to have it finished up and
mounted. The oyster in which the gem
was found came from one of the local
dealers and was taken from a bed in the
Sound.-New Haven Register.

1t is promised that It will not be long
before a certain small town in Belgium
Is lighted by electricity. 1t appears that
thirty years ago the municipality entered
into a contract with the local gas com
pany for the public lighting Of the town.
1t was agreed that the price should be
fixed at 5000 per annum, the contract
20 exist for ffty-fve years. Thus the
agreement remains good for another
twenty-five years. The municipality,
seeing around cheaper gas and a more
desirable light in the form of the electric
light, have come to the conclusion that
they are decidedly at a disadvantage.
They say that the price which was con-
sidered just when the contract was made
should now be reduced, as it is excessive
when compared with other towns where
only $1,000 per annum is paid for the
same amoun of light.
As the gas company refuses to reduce
its price, complaints regarding defective
lighting, which had previously been per-
mitted to pass unnoticed, are now nu-
merous, the inhabitants entering hearth
ly into the spirit of the situation. Ac-
cording to the latest accounts the gas
company had fallen on troublous times.
The municipality had made up its mind
that if it could not get the gas at a rea-
sonable rate it would secure it at a low
one, and possibly make a profit on the
bargain.
The method adopted is decidedly rigor-
Gus. For avery gas jet below the con
tract candle power a fine of forty cents
is imposed; for each square of glass not
properly cleaned, D fine of ton cents; a
broken glass, ten cents, and for a lamp
extinguished a caution first and a fine
afterward. The campaign is affording
immense qualification TO the inhabitants
Of that quiet little town, which has sell
dom fallen on such u bonanza in the way
of a sensation, and the gas company
seems destined either to make a speedy
change of front or give up its contract.

The experience of the English actor and
his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, in America
has been a remarkable one. Sept. -, 1889,
they landed in New York with a profess
sional tour before them which had long
been contemplated and several times post
poned. They say hat they stepped ashore
with fear and trembling, not at all certain
OF success. A week later they appeared
for the first time before an American audi

them a great deal of money and at least as
much qualification as any English players
