Poor Phillip Welch, the humorist, who
died literally with jest upon his lips,
toiling manfully at writing funny items
to make what provision he could for his
family even while the shadow of an
awful death by cancer was upon him,
has left a widow as plucky as himself.
Mrs. Welch was left with four small
children, the youngest only about year
old. She has kept her home and family
together and is maintaining them by
journalistic work, to which she was al.
most unaccustomed when she was forced
to take it up, but for which she shows q
gift. She conducts department upon a
Brooklyn paper, and the Sunday column
and a half in the ''Times" Of New York
entitled 'Her Point of View" which is
from her pen, is one of the best joural.

FOLLOWING the dramatic develop
ment in the mysterious case of Robert
Ray Hamilton comes the announce
ment that his alleged widow Eva is
about to make her debut in the role of
an actress. Coupled with this an
nouncement comes the one, even more
surprising, that the play in which she is
to appear will set forth with great
power and effect the dramatic life story
of the unfortunate man who is supposed
to have met his death among the
tangled weeds at the bottom of Snake
river. Again the skeleton which has
disturbed the serenity of one of the
most historic families in this country is
to be dragged forth from its charnel
house and exposed to public view. 1t is
promised that the stage portrayal will
bring to light new and hitherto unsus-
pected features in this remarkable case.
Eva will appear in conspicuous role.

SPEAKING of pension office matters.
there was quite farce played at the
pension office last week. A man was
tried for borrowing money, and Com,
missioner Raum, the man who ac-
knowledged under oath that he had bor-
rowed S12, 900 from the king of the pen
sion sharks, was one of the judges. We
gods, think of that. 1t was certainly
the acme of adsurdity. OF course the
borrower was acquitted, but victim
had to be found. so the fellow who got
the loan for him from a Washington ten
per center was found to be too loose in
his ideas of the amount of interest that
ought to be charged for accommodation
loans, and was accordingly dismissed in
disgrace from the government service
There are piles and piles of crookedness
all over the pension bureau awaiting the
argus eye of u democratic congressional
investigating committee.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.


Gen. Russell A. Alger, who was seen
at the Fifth Avenue hotel q few minutes
previous to his leaving for his home In
Detroit, said very feelingly: at will be
impossible for me to write any
thing for you at this time for
the symposium. / have just had
a great affiiction In the loss of
my daughter, and can assure you when
you speak to me about my mother, II
is very tender subject to me. The last
time I saw her l was only twelve years
old, and she bade me good-by with the
words: God bless you, my boy; do
right always The greatest regret OF
my life has ever been that did not have
the opportunity tomake her as comfort
able as would have liked"
A young poet in New York, whose
devotion and loyalty to the memory of
his mother is so strong that he will not
permit anyone In his presence to speak
lightly of any woman, says his mothers
favorite expression was: Never under
any circumstances do anything mean ~
Mayor Grants mother died when he
was but sixteen months old.
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was a little
tot of two years when his mother passed
away and Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, pas
tor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn. has
been equally unfortunate In the loss OF
his mother.
If all the pleasant facts in connection
with the compiling of this symposium
could be printed 1t would make an in.
teresting story in itself.

MIR. prrEM,s MOTHERS TALENT.

Ny mother was woman of broad
culture and a great reader. She was
intensely religious and believed in the
efficacy of church attendance on the
Sabbath. She did noteare for money and
never gave any advice in regard to 1t.
Rich people did not impress her, but she
was never tired of enthusiastically
speaking of the honors of life and of
men who had become famous as states
men, orators or authors. She pleaded
so earnestly and urgently the duty Of
going to church that am as uncom-
Portable now for the remainder of the
week If absent from service at least
once on Sunday, as was when boy.
She valued education beyond all acqui-
sitions, and her constant injunction was
to get knowledge. Her often repeated
remark was: SIT requires little money
to live and nybody who tries can earn
It, but very few can win distinction.
Strive for that"

What a beautiful volume of choice
reading could be compiled on the fa-
vorite sayings and stories of the mothers
of remarkable men. There is lot of
unwritten history here, which, # called
forth, would show that mother stories
and mother sayings have not only had a
wonderful influence, but most direct
bearing on the lives of men who have
risen from the ranks up to first place in
thevocation In which they have attained
somuch eminence. Who has not heard in
conversation with successful man the
words as applied to some good maxim:
''AIy mother used to say
Although It is fact that many cele-
brated characters in history never had
any memory of their mothers at all
while the mothers of sons who have
lived and died without even n tinge of
smartness attached to their career were
being constantly told some valuable
precept, 1t does not prove anything in
particular and It would be useless to
waste lot of wordy metaphysics upon
the subject of this symposium.

HENRY CLEws' GUIDE To PROSPERITY.
My mother, from my earliest recollcc-,
ton up to tho present period of my ex-j
istence, was always my ideal of true
and good woman, in fact the nearest
approach to a perfect one on this earth.
To her owe all that is in me which is
worthy of imitation and transmission to
my children. She taught me from in
fancy up many wise things and say
ings. One of them distinctly recollect,
and can now almost think that hear
her gentle but forcible voice saying:
Snow, Henry, to bed, for remember,
early to bed, early to rise, will make a
man healthy, wealthy and wise.'" This
oft repeated quotation was made to
ring in my ears and was therefore
forced indelibly upon my mind, and it is
due to making it my guide through life
that 1 owe my present good health,
cheerful spirits and much of my bust
ness success. recommend its adoption
to all young men starting out to make q
career for themselves. My word for It,
it is the best tonic yet discovered for
building up the rising generation to
make successful mon in all walks of life

HOW ACTORS MAKE UP.

A Few Strokes with Red or Black Change
the Whole CountenanOe.
No set rules are laid down for max.
ing up faces. A painter might as well
try to give to his pupils in a few set
of rules the drawing of a Raphael" or
the coloring of a 'Titian. The oriina-
ry text books do not amount to much.
Every Thespian must study these
things for himself, as they cannot be
taught But few valuable hints may
be given. Use your fingers to apply
grease paint to the face. Every make
up box should contain tin palette on
which the actor, like the painter, can
mix his colors after warming the pal
cite. Powder Is best applied with q
barefoot or a puff and liquids and
water colors with a soft brush. The
principal colors for making up are
black, blue, red, white and flesh color
Every actor should make himself aO-
quainted with the illumination of the
theater before making up The lighter
the theater the more careful one has to
be. Wrinkles can only be drawn where
your face suggests wrinkles. If a lady
desires to make up for the parlor or
street she should rub into the skin q
preparation of rosewater and glycer-
inc, wipe 1t off rs much as possible and
apply drop chalk; then brush 1t off with
a soft brush and apply the rouge very
moderately on the proper part Of the
cheek. t"- --s+~>E ~. IT,

er than that of the hair; the color OF
the hair darker than that of the beard
or mustache. -
To make white teeth seem decayed
besmear them with yellow or gray. To
make them disappear entirely apply
black court plaster.
Actresses should always wear stock
ings the same color as their skirts.
A cold tone in making up is obtained
by applying white and as much blue
and gray as possible. A warm tone is
obtained by using the colors between
purplish violet and yellowish green.
The color of the costume should al

the part The mere thought of Ham
let in red tights is ridiculous
For black face characters the lips
must not be Redeemed, neither must the
face be powdered after making up. For
the hands use black silk gloves. Phil

REV. ROBERT coLLYER's BRAVE MOTHER
My dear and good mother found It,
hard to make ends meet and tie in the
small cottage by the Washburn, say
sixty years ago. There was n house
full of us, and as we grew apace, as they
say over there: lit was deeper into t
looaf and deeper into the clooath,"
while there was only q small wage to
meet the large demand. So mind how,
when winter was coming on and the
snow began to fall and food and fuel
were dear, she would sit still, with a
far-away look in her eyes of brooding
trouble, and say, perhaps: "This Is going
to DO hard winter, bairns," while the
tears ran down her sweet face. But
when we began to whimper also, and
especially at the dreadful thought that
we should have no Christmas this year,
the times were so hard, mind how the
look of brooding would pass away, and
she would say never mind, we shall get
along, and no matter how poor we are
don't let US look poor and don't tell.
Then she would grid herself for the
battle, again, shoulder to shoulder
with the good father who could not
cut and contrive. but only earn faithful
and true scant weekly wage. Then we
would win through the winter and never
knowSYhat it was to want, while still
see mother going about the house with
the new light In her eyes she had won
by faith, and hear the brave words:
''No matter, BARNS, how poorwe are,
don't let us look poor and don't tell"
The saying became a household word,
and doubt not still stays in the hearts
of all her children when the need to
stand true to 1t and work out our own
salvation in these things that touch the
common life has nassed away.
