Hazel 1l,rlse ut tho Academy.

The saying, 'After all, old things
are best" seemed to be considered a
true one, judging from the crowded
house that greeted the old favorite,
! ..Hazel Kirke," at the Academy OF
Music last night. In presenting the
play Miss Effie Ellser has an excellent
company. In his part of Dunstan
Kirlle, the stern, despotic father, Mr..
G. w. Couldock was so naturally
cruel that for the time being one was
anxious to be up in arms against him,
while after he became blind one could
khardly sit still through the anxiety to
offer ones arm for his support.
Miss Ellsler's Hazel Kirke is we'll
kknown. She was the original heroine
OF the play during it's long and sue
|scessful run at the Madison Square
Theatre She is most womanly act
tress, but it is pity almost that the
play does not afford her more oppor-
/ tuufty to show how pleasant and be-
witching smile she has, and we can
mot but feel grateful to Mr.. Pitticus
Green for so subtly obtaining per
mission" and drawing it out. But
who could help laughing ut Mr.. Greens
The part last night was taken by Mr.
Frank Weston, and he was at times
so earnest and at others SO mischiev-
Gus that one did not blame pretty lit
tie Dolly Dutton for alternately low
ing and trusting and hating and sus-
pecting him.
The other members of the company
are Emily Carringford Uady Travers);
Miss Rose Anthon; Mercy Kirke. Miss
Fanny l.. Bert Arthur Darlington
(Lord Travers), Mr.. Walter J. Brooks;
Aaron Rodney, Mr. George F. Farren,
Methuselah higgins Called Metz, Mr..
John A. Holland; Barney O'Flynn, of
irish gender, Mr.. John w. Rose;
Clara, maid. Miss Annie Athy; and
J. A. Miller, Mr.. John J. Hall.
There were two performances of
ssHazel Kirke" yesterday. 1t will run
all week with usual matinees, We'd
nesday and Saturday. Next week
the successful domestic drama, "All
the Comforts of Home will be pro-
duced by one of Mr.. Charles Froh-
mans excellent companies.
BY the way, thinking it over,
cannot agree that old things are al
ways best. When you have seen the
same scenery in any number of differ
ent plays one is very willing to stifie
pleasant memories and become ac'
quainted with something new. Don't
you think so?

N. S. Wood and strong company
appeared in a comedy drama entitled
''The Orphans of New York" at the
Hoboken Theatre in two performan-

the theatre was crowded.
The play deals with life in New

The plot is sensible one, yet there

act the orphan asylum is very real

Women who Can Wear Blue.

!. The question of the becomingness
of blue is one that is continually aris-
ing, says Mrs. Mallon, in The Ladies'
Home Journal. Napoleon blue, gray
ish tint, is only aNpted to brunettes,
and the peculiar shade of blue which
is sometimes called sapphire, some-
times called robins egg, sometimes
called electric blue, is also best
suited to the ladies with dark hair
and clear dark complexions These
shades are very apt to make blonde
look colorless. A pure blonde with
clear eyes can always wear-baby blue
in the evening, but il she wishes the
whiteness of her skin and the blue
ness of her eyes and the yellow of her
hair to be brought out most effec-
lively, she will choose rose color. All
the dark shades of blue are suited to
her, and she will be wisest If she
chooses them in preference to all
other shades OF the color.

far distant when mothers will consider the real

LAZY L0UNGING.
A Horrid Habit Which in the End
Wearies and Hurts One.

The crusade which begun some
months ago against the habit of
Americans ''sitting on their spines"
has suddenly started up again. The
lackadaisical, round shouldered and
slanting carriage of New Workers is
noticeable in nearly all public places.
/ have often observed, in glancing
over the people in the big restau-
rants. that the diners lounged in
their chairs almost without excep-
tion. The man who sat erect in q
sensible fashion was great rarity.
All along Broadway loungers in
hotels are sprawled over their seats in
similar way, and nothing is more
common than to see man slide down
in his seat in the theatre until his
knees are wedged against the chair in
front of him and his neck rests
against the back of his own chair. In
railroad trains there is similar ex-
hibition .of lackadaisical, sprawling,
lounging and half recumbent men. l
have a notion that all of this is due to
certain extent to ignorance.
Men who have long journeys to go
through should try the effect of sit
ting upright in the corner of a seat
one day and sprawl all over the seat
the next. They will find that the per-
centage of fatigue is immeasurably
smaller when sitting squarely in the
seat than when trying to cover it In a
recumbent position. So it is in the
street car, the cab and the elevated
trains. The principal advantage of
the erect posture is that when per-
son sits in tn way, without leaning
against the back OF the seat, the Jar
OF the car is so distributed that it
never reaches the head. There is
much more comfort to be had in sit
ting erect than in lounging.-Blakely

Expensively Dressed Ladies in England
Perhaps the most extensively
dressed ladies in England are the
effigies in Madame Tassaud's wax
works, A new figure of Queen Vic
toria is to be added, apropos

long table writing. had a talk with
the manager about the cost of dressing
the other royal ladies. Their neither
garments are of silk and fine cambria,
and the average cost of each court
dress is about sixty pounds. The
dresses usually last year, but they
have to be cleaned and retrimned at
intervals of two or three months. The
LADIES' are washed and dressed shortly
after eight every morning, and then
the hairdresser comes along with his
combs and rearranges their coiffures.
Marie Antoinette has just had new
dress which ] should think must have
cost great deal of money. 1t is of
vieux satin, and the bodice is covered
with old lace worth fifty dollars a
yard. Queen Caroline (wife of George
IV.) has also had very handsome
new dress. 1t is OF reseda satin,
trimmed with stripes of pearl passe-
menterie. The train is brocaded with
red flowers.

Undervalueti Personality.

The Board of Tax Commissioners OF

of assessment for the current year,
and its report covers the Jersey City
Tax Commissioners with confusion
and shame.
In total valuation of about
$2s, 100000, the amount of personality
returned for Trenton is $7,304,6S2,
while ell the personal property that
the Jersey City assessors can dis
cover insthe city is set down at littIe'
over six millions of dollars.
Jersey City has nearly four times
the population of Trenton. 1t has
three and a half times as much as
sesssd wealth in realty, but it Is all
most a. million dollars poorer in per-

William Walter Phelps Grand
Fiasco.
The New York World this morning
explodes one more Blaine bubble. 1t
reveals the utter failure of Minister
William Walter Phelps diplomacy
in the matter of the Samoan difficulty.
It conclusively shows that Phelps and
tfie poodle Commissioners who partici-
pated with him in the famous--or. as
1t now appears, infamous Berlin con-
fexence, were completely out
maneuvred by the German representa-
tivss, with the result that Germany

is as trihe compared with the other
