THE PRESIDENTIAL TOUR

The tour OF President Harrison is
beyond question for the purpose of
feeling the public pulse on his chan
ces for denomination. The entire
press throughout Missouri, are unani.
mously of the opinion that Mr.. liar.
i1son's appointments in this state
were very unfortunate for the party,
and in fact, served the party, As
Mrs. Darlington would contend re.
garding the goats tail, did more
harm than good, But aside from his
mistakes in Missouri we do not know
that there is much to complain about
and if Mr.. Blaine refuses to accept
the nomination, Mr.. Harrison will no
doubt be in the lead for the nomina.
ton. 1t is stated pretty authorita,
lively that Mr.. Blaine does not care
TO undergo the excitement of any
other campaign, and that he will re,
fuse the nomination if it should bl
rendered TO him. That would, in
large measure throw the Blaiu,
strength over to Mr.. Harrison, he
cause il the party cannot have Mr.
Blaine in the presidential chair the,
want him to remain in the position
he now occupies. The republican
party, with Blaine as its candidate
would enter the campaign with NJ
earncstness that cannot be secure,
for by any other nominee, but if it cal
not get him they may be rcconcilet

young men. The fact is, they are not con-
sldered at Vassar. They are not there and
they are not greatly missed. I have a friend
who attended two co-educationaI COLLEGES
and she says that first the boys fiirted so
with those of the young women who would
permit 1t that much study was cut of the
question, and that at the second the Young
women, melancholy minority, were left
entirely to their own devices. I believe it
is better not to have any young men about,
If those are to be the alternatives in co-edu-
cation. OF course, some Of the girls come
to Poughkeepsie already engaged aud write
very faithfully to some one, for awhile,
sometimes, in fact. throughout the course.
And under proper restrictions we were per-
mitted to see callers of either sex. And, as
West Point wasn't so very far away and
the young soldiers are such q manly
and picturesque lot Of fellows, we did see a
little of them, especially at commencement
time.
But the so-called typical Vassar girl of
the stage and the novel simply doesn't exist.
Probably a majority of the students are
mature young women qualifying them
selves for life work as teachers and are
endeavoring to get the most and the best
out of school. These give the tone to the
place, its aspect for the most part is
studious, almost severe. The Tightly and
frivolous ones are in minority
and they often reform. Such associa-
tons as the Collegiate AlumnR,
which join women college graduates of the
entire country, do great deal to keep the
current of life healthy, and the example of
the energetic and tactful women professors
does great deal more. If we who have
left the old home remember best the frolic
scenes it wasn't because there were so many
OF them as to dlsplacs work in our atten-
ton. MARY D. X.

don't know whether mine will be very
funny to tell about it, but it certainly was
funny to see. was playing the part of a
rough country lad IN the MASTER Of
Woodbarrow, who, by the sudden death Of
three relatives, is installed at the old Manor
house at the head of the family.
The priggish old butler who has relegated
to himself the right to instruct me in all
the intrlcacies of the gentlemen's toilet, so
exasperated me on one occasion that | drew
off one of my slippers and flung it at his
head.
Well, on the night in question we were
playing at the Lyceum at the time
Augustus Cook, the butler, got little too
far down toward the footllghts, and when
he lodged the slipper it sailed out into the
auditorium, barely missing the head of q
stout gentleman seated about halfway
down the aisle.
There was a laugh at this, of course, but
it grew into a roar when the ld-headed
man. whose face rivaled an Italian sunset
in the brilliancy OF it's coloring. hastily
arose, picked up the slipper. put it in his
pocket aud stalEed Indignantly out of the
theater.
1t was too near the end of the scene to
make it worth while sending tho butler for
another slipper, so hopDed around on one
foot until the curtain went down.

GIRLS TO WEAR MONoCLEs.
New York's Fast Set Trying the Eng

From the Philadelphia Press.

fish Single Eyeglass.
From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is rather depressing to learn that even
one or two New York young women of
fashion have adopted the recent affectation
Of the Smart" London girls and are appear
ing in public wearing monocles, or single
eyeglasses. Within the last year the mas
culine monopoly of these toys has been dis
puted by the other sex in England: but it
did not seem probable that any ladies on
this side of the sea could add this to their
many manifestations of Anglomania But
at least two of them have done SO. They
were pretty girls on horseback, and they
rode with groom in the park IN the morn
ing, when all is silent and lonely there.
1t was very difficult for the prOmenader
who witnessed their weakness to believe
that the tender young creatures were
actually sporting the single glass, but at
close range the fact was clearly apparent,
and the groom riding behind looked slightly
embarrassed at finding the extreme eccen-
tricity of his charges noticed.
One of the very advanced young women
in society spoke her opinion on the subject
when 1t was afterward put before her by
the astonished promenader.
~ knew" said she, that some of the
girls had taken up the English fashion TO a
mild extent, but it has not found favor
with me and shall do my best to sheer it
down. When l was in England a few
months ago | noticed that young women
were to be seen here and there wearing the
monocle. In London you might see half a
dozen on the drive in Hyde park OF an
afternoon, and at the smart watering places
they were somewhat more common.
But l saw that the women wearing
them were not admirable women. | won't
say they were unnecessarily fast or vulgar,
but they were not just what you and ike
They were either too masculine, too bizarre
or too something, don't know Just what,
and became convinced that it would be
| impossible for me to follow their lead l
preferred to emulate the really great ladies
of England, and abjured the eyeglass The
fashion will have no run mere. Even the
men have a hard time of it in New York in
trying to wear the glass. and the women
will GER ainly be scoffed out of doing so.
"Now, the English custom of lady
carrying a walking stick when she goes on
regular walk is a good one, and it ought TO
| be more generally adopted here. For city
use girl does not require cane, perhaps,
| but i'll the country she should always have
one. Tue best women in England carry
sticks, you know, when they 20 out for a

DEAR SIRs: l wish to give my testimonial In
regard to your valuable medicine, P. p. p, for
the cure Of rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia
Biliousness, etc.
In 1868 was attacked with bilious muse ular
rheumatism, and have been a martyr to it ever
since. tried all medicines l ever heard Of, and
all the doctors in reach. but found only temper
airy relief; the pains so bad at times that l
did not care whether lived or died My diges-
tion became SO impaired that everything l ate
disagreed with me. My wife also suffered so
intensely with dyspepsia that her life was bur-
den to her; she would be confined TO her bed for
weeks at the time; she also suffered greatly
from giddiness and loss of sleep
Some time in March was advised to take P.
P. land before we tmy wife and u had finished
the second bottle of p P. p our digestion be-
gan to improve. My pains subsidized so much
that have been able to work and am feeling
like doing that haven't done before in a mum.
Der Of years We will continue taking p p. p.
until we are entirely cured. and will cheerfully
recommend il 70 all suffering humanity Yours
very respectfully is. DUPRISS,

AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION FOR NEIL
BURGESS.

BURGESS.
1t was when | first went on the stage that
had my funniest experience. We were
then playing around in the small towns and
L was fired on, as we call 1t, to "hold the
stage" while the carpenters set the next
scene.
My part was a small one and mainly
consisted of explaining some Of the charac-
tiers in the play, from which remarks the
actors came on aud took their cues.
On this particular night l had finished my
allotted speech and waited vainly for the
appearance of the men to follow me. No
one came. l walked nervously to the left
wing and peered into the first entrance, but
not a soul was to De seen. | walked to the
right and glanced up and down but not even
stage hand was in sight. | know very
little of the farce and what to do l didn't
know, so marched back aud forth on the
stage with tragic gestures, muttering few
words now and then as if to give the APP
pearance of reality to my performance, but
the gallery gods "were on to me" and
enlivened the scene by calling out various
things, such as "Its about time you went
off," "Oh, you'll be sorry for this when
you get sober.n &c.
Finally, after what seemed hours, but
which was in reality only few moments,
the players appeared, the scene went on,
and | made my escape
1t seems that the trap door behind the
scenes had been left open by mistake, aud
one of the young women had fallen through.
She fell on some soft stuff and was not
injured, but everybody, including the stage
hands, had run down stairs to see her, for
getting all about me and that l was holding
the stage. NEIL BURGESS.

The funniest part Of my funny ex perience

night, when Wesley Sisson and l were run
ming the Criterion theater in Brooklyn sew
eral years ago, We were sitting in the box
office attired in dress suits, silk hats aud
patent feathers, congratulating ourselves
Oh the strength Of the big house the current
piece was drawing. when boy rushed up
to the window and gasped out the startling
news that some hoodums were cartiug
OIL one of our big twenty-four sheet bill
boards.
AccOutered az was, dashed out into the
street, not even stopping to put on my over
coat, although there was snow on the
ground and the weather was biting cold.
After q chase of at least half a mile the
boy and caught up with the robbers and
sure enough there laid the big bill board
face downward resting on the sides Of the
truck.
After being pelted with snowballs by
small boys and nearly mobbed by the half
grown thieves, at last succeeded in wrest-
ing the reins from the driver and started
ickety split back to the theater.

lifted up against the wall what do you

HENRY E. DIXIE DANCES A JIG ON HIS
MANAGERS BACK.

Most of my experience with stage miss
takes have been stupid rather than funny,
but | remember one little incident which
was almost pathetic as well as amusing.
1t happened when / was a boy and be-
longed to a snap compauy-barn .storming
around the country.
The manager OF the show was also leader
of the orchestra Of three pieces and played
first fiddle.
The stage consisted of platform held up
by wooden horses. One night / was dane
ing away at my very best before a most ap-
preoiative, though perhaps rather noisy, au>
dience. when suddenly two Of the stage
props gave away and down went one end Of
the platform. Quick as fash the mana
ger lifted the fallen end and placing 1t on
his shoulder, went on coolly playing his
fiddle and shouted excitedly to me to GO
ahead with my jig.
Well, the sight of that fellow there, bent
double, holding the stage up to prevent
spelling the performance, shall never for
get as long as / live.
The spectators shouted and applauded
and went away telling everybody that it
was the funniest Scgne thev had ever wit
ressed. HENRY E. DIxEY.
