cried out :

The other sleigh had shot past us,
and the jeers of its occupants were
ringing out when Jerry spoke softly
to old Ned and touched him lightly
with the whip. The long-legged,
long winded and wiry old horse
plunged madly forward with the
speed of the wind
stood up by Jerry, clinging to
the dashboord as the sled swayed
from side to sid or bounded up and
down as old Ned sped on.
In two minutes we were neck and

sled, and Jerry was crying out loud

threatened to capsz= at every renewed

streamed back on either side of his

Now we began to gain. We were a
foot ahead-three feet. ten and gain

rang out.
We reached the end of the Lane
fifty yards in advance of our rivals, and
turned into the road leading toward
our homes.
On came the other sleigh with un
checked speed. The driver gave is
horse a quick pull to the right, and
over went the sleigh, sending its occu-
pants almost out of sight in a great
snowdriit by the roadside.
The horse started to run, but Jerry

him back. Then Jerry said. dryy:

DRAMATIC NOTES.

The charge for seats in the first balcony
of D'Oyly Carte's new theatre in London
is S.75. Seats in the last three rows in the
second balcony-the cheapest in the house
sell for S1.50. The latter is the mount
charged by most OF the best American
theatres for orchestra chairs. In America
the orchestra Gt is called the pit" in Lon
dom is considered the best location from
which to see and hear n play, while in Lon
don the first balcony is preferred.
The remarkable favor which E. S. Will

In 1t he plays the dual role of a murderer
and his victim. Willard's friends conf

The DEsPoTlsM OF TO-DAY,


The NobnIty of wealth Represents More
Power Than the Sword Ever Controlled.
The feudalism of the past was thai Of
birth and rank. The right TO rule, won
by the father, descended to the son. To-
day the right to control the destiny. aye,
the very lives, of more thousands than
were ever held in v~assalage by any lord,
descends by inheritance OF beuuest from
the master Of millions. The nobility of
wealth today represent more power than
the sword ever controlled. Is it less
dangerous? Is the power Of life and
death less perilOus because the weapon
it wields is measured by Troy weight
rather than by averdupois? The rich are
not all bad, nor were the feudal lords all
tyrants. The nobility of feudalism no
doubt represented a much higher level
Of intelligence, enterprise and what is
often termed public spirit than those
who were subject to their control. They
had a right to claim to be the best, the
bravest, the strongest, the sweetest life
of that time. The trouble was not in
the men, but in the power they repre-
sented, the power TO restrict opportunity
and compel subservience.
The evil lay in the power OF the few
and the helplessness of the many-the
ability Of the few 10 control and Of the
need Of the many to serve. 1t matters
nothing whether this power is attested
by the crest Of a noble or the seal of a
corporation, the effect is the same.
Whatever promotes mastery and en-
larges the domain of subserviency and
dependence, that imperils liberty. The

The athletic committee of the New York
Athletic club spent sea- 900 oil salaries and
training expenses during 1890. They ex-
ceeded the appropriation by $4,000. Only
$4,000 was expended in 1889. The large
increase for 1890 was doubtless due to the
clubs strong rivalry with the Manhattans.
