A common question was: care you a

said no to both questions the people stared
and said: "How can it be? All who are

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE wAIFs OF NEW YoRK. ;,


The Kansas City Times of August "a
1891, contains the following notice of Katie
Emmett, now playing at the Ninth Street
theater in that city:
'1he fifth season of the Ninth Street
theater was auspiciously opened yesterday
afternoon by Katie Emmett and her COM
pany in The Waits Of New York" Man
ager Judah was happy and Treasurer
Cooley was serenely smiling in his accus-
toned place. and the busy little play
house that never closes its doors except a
few weeks IN midsummer was completely
thronged with theater goers who had not
forgotten their well-tormed habit of inter
esting themselves in the Ninth street bills.
Katie Emmett has materially strength
ened her play since it was seen at the
Midland last season. The company is
stronger and most of the scenery Is new,
and all OF it is more elaborate and expen-
sive than is usually carried by companies
OF this kind
while Miss Emmett, her company and
the construction of the familiar play
which she is now presenting, cater to the
sentiment rather than the senses of the
audiences, there is a notable absence OF
the old melo-dramatic eXtrayaganceS and
a substitution of good deal of character
humor of very high order, interpreted
eXcellently by those clever and popular
comedians, George Thompson and Amy
Aules, who vie with the bright little star
in public favor. Miss Emmett is especially
suited by her versatility to the DISCUSSES
and intrigues which enter into this play.
Her work, moreover, has a ring of sincerity
which adds to the force and enjoyment of
her interesting portraitures.
There are others in the supporting
company who attract very favorable at
tentiOn in spite of a strong trio of leading
players Mr.. Willard Lee does the thank
less william well. A fine dialect character
Pietro Bama, is presented by Mr. Edward
Clifford. Miss Nellie Edmunds makes a
pretty German girl and sustaius the
character creditably and sings and dances
fairly well. A bit of thing billed as La
Petite Lillian is precocious as the waif
The whole company is above the melo-
dramatic average. The play runs for the
week with usual matineeS."

Dwarfs Live to a Great Age.

Contrary to their huge rivals in in
terest, dwarfs frequently attain great
age Richebourg, who died in Paris in
1858, was ninety years old. He was
only twenty-three inches high, some
thing less than the stature OF our own
most celebrated dwarf, General Tom
Thumb. The first English dwarf of
whom there is authentic record was only
II feet high till thirteen years of age,
though he afterward attained the height
of feet 8 inches. This was Jeffery
Hudson, who was presented TO Queen
Henrietta by the Duchess OF Bucking-
ham.
Hudson on that occasion surprised the
company by stepping out of a pie. He
is said to have fought two duels-one
with turkey cock and one with Mr.
Crofts, whom he shot and killed Hud-
son died in his sixty-third year in the
Gate House prison, having been accused
