The long London run of Henry IT.
wings Faust" the tales of its scenic
splendors, and the philosophic, diabolic
polish OF the manager-actor' Mephis-
to" have created peculiar interest in
the Faust" presented last night at
the Baldwin Theater by Lewis Morri-
son, and the company which has sup
ported Mr.. Morrison during his tour
with the play. MIR. Morrison's version
is claimed to be i'll all essential partic
ulars the same as Henry Irving's. The
best of the play, from Il literary stand
point, is in the lines given to Mephis-
topheles," and these are delivered by
Mr.. Morrison in the very best style he
can command. His physique, to begin
with, is particularly well adapted to
such pcrsonification Of the principle
of permitted Evil as Imagination frames
from the legend and the play. Lean
and 1.-the, with dark, pointed features,
sinister expression and cleaning teeth
and eyes, he needs only the lifting of
the outer end OF the eyebrows, and the
scarlet costume to look like the intel
lectual fiend of tradition. There is
perhaps too strong a suggestion of
melodrama in some parts of his acting,
but in others, notably his scenes with
Martha, and his first meeting with
Faust, he fits precisely into the idea of
Lucifer, who is man of the world
and student, as we'll as a demon.
His effect upon an audience is very
much enhanced by the scenic effects,
particularly those in the Broken
scene. The skillful arrangement of
light, the excellent stage management,
and the action of the supernumeraries,
combine to make this part o! the play
far more effective than supernatural
limitations usually are. tbs sufficient
ly weird and unearthly to touch even
a sluggish imagination, and Mr.. Nor
rison made very impressive figure
throughout its course. The audience
gave enthusiastic approval to the
scene, and very wellmanaged and
daring fall won separate round OF ap-
plause = The other scenic effects, al
though the stage is sometimes tritle
overcrowded with them, are admirably
planned and managed.
Whenever the orchestra-which is
noticeable throughout the evening for
the aptness of the musical selections
adds dounod's accompaniment to the
scene, the beautiful harmonies lend it
something of their own depth OF en-
preston. This is felt especially in the
garden scene.
There are many features OF the per-
Torrance which are fine enough to
make notable production, and it
probably will be successful enough to
Justify the expense and carefulness of
the preparations. 1t was certainly an
emphatic success with last nights audi
ence.-San Francisco Examiner.

baseball Notes.

There is every possibility that the
Cincinnati Association club will be
transferred to indianapolis in a few
days. John II. Brush. the Hoosier
magnate, has been dickering with Chris
Won der Abe for the club and is said to
be willing to give $4,000 for it, II Won
der Abe accepts tho League will be left
in possession of the Queen CITY again.
Aaron Stern will take charge of the
Reds again and Mr.. Brush will become
an Association magnatc. Some of
Mike" kelly's most intimate friends
say that the king" had never signed
regular Association contract, and that
in the event Of the transfer of his team
to Hoosierville he would accept stand
ing offer to 20 back to the Boston
League club. They say that Kelly has
been secretly bewailing his fate ever
since he left the League. but that he
was too honest to go back on his AS
ISOLATION friends while they trea ted
him fairly.
Considering the accidents that have
befallen the New York team and the
many mistakes made by the bull-hcadcd
management, it's a wonder the Giants
are so we'll up in the race. The players
deserve nothing but praise for their
mastery work.
The Louisville "Colonels" have caught
their second wind.
The American Association team in
Cincinnati has disbanded and the fran
c1ise been given to Milwaukee. Kelly
goes to the Boston Association team
and Mains to Washington. a majority
of the other players will be transferred
to Milwaukee.

The ink first used probably was some
natural animal pigment, such MS the
black fluid obtained from the various

of this material soon led to
the use Of mechanical mix

the characters were painted, rather
than written, by means of q broad
pointed reed AS ink Of this simple ma
ture was easily removed from the sur
face OF the parchment by the mere np-
plication of moisture it was early found
necessary to contrivc some means Of
forming n more durable ink, and for
this purpose the cXpcdient was adopted
OF treating the mixture with some sub

generally employed dow to the middle

JAPANESE ENGLISH.
Tho Unique Complaint of an Outraged
Servant.

Tho Unique Complaint of IN OUTRAGED
Servant.
A Japanese boy who works in a San
Francisco clubhouse recently sent the
following picturesque complaint to the
officers: To-day went to the club to
get my wages. The steward, Mr.. John,
ordered me to leave, with many repeti-
tions of abominable oaths which man
of some honor can't restrain his passion
from revolt on such violent shower of
curse. Anger was beyond my control,
and involuntarily l returned my share
of compliments. upon which he
snatched the potato masher and was
brutal enough to give me two severe
blows on my person, and inficting quite
painful injury. Through all this affair
! was never offensive. When | went
there to demand the money to which
was entitled he unjustly enjoincd
me to get out. That is an unreasona.
BILE movement and cannot fail to hurt q
mans feelings. WHAT Without being
satisfied with that insult made my blood
boil and the veins burst with successive
onslaught of ignominous swear My
returning was completely excusable,
for to be indifferent to such IN ignoble
treatment denotes that one Is
stranger to the sense of honor; and SO
he ought to have relished it with
aoashed submission. And what againl
The tongue-the countenance was not
capable enough to wreak his savage
fury-and then he resorted to that final
step of violence as though was mass
OF clay, insensible to disgrace and pain"

A GREAT COUNTRY.
Stories OF Fertility Which Seem to De
Almost Incredible.

stories OF Fertility Which Seem to Be
Almost Incredible.
have heard as big stories as Uncle
Simon's tatcr story right here at homo,
writes Bill Arp in Home and Farm. It
was in the judges room one night when
we were all talking about what great
county was Gilmer for apples and Irish
potatoes and cabbages. Judge Under
wood declared that you might talso q
'sprout from any poor, no-account apple
tree down here and stick it In the
ground in Glmcr and it would grow
and bear fine apples. And Gen. Han
sell said he had been to see tho famous
apple tree on old man Cantrell's place,
about milo off the Dahlonega road,
and he found it sixty feet high and sixty
feet broad, and he stood up beside it
and tried to span it with his long arms
and couldn't reach more than half way
round. He looked to Judge Underwood
for nod of confirmation and got it.
THAT Is so-eXactly So" said the Judge.
II have seen that trcel It came from a
seed that was planted by old Noona-
tootly, hnlf-brccd Indian who came
from North Carolina abont fifty years
ago" Thus fortified, Gen uansell con-
tinued his remarks by saying that the
average annual crop of this tree was
live hundred bushels, and tho apples
wore what is known as the black apple
they were such a very dark rcd.
Judge Underwood cleared his throat
and said: And, general. don't you re-
member that lane-Frazicr's lane, on
Laughing Gal crcck-wherc there is an
apple tree In every fence corner on both
sides OF the lane clear up to the top of
the hill. and the limbs of the trees have
got tangled up together in solid mass
and you can't see the sun above you as
you drive along?"
"Oh yes, said the general, 81 remem-
Der it perfectly" "And one fall when
you and Trippc and Chastian and
Shacklcford and Hanks and uackett
and John Word and Hooper and ever
SO many moro of us struck that land
there were twelve buggics all in row
going to court And you and were in
the hindmost buggy and that lane was
ankle-decp in apples and the horses
could hardly get along, and l looked
back and tho horses and the wheels
had mashed apples until there was a
stream of cider running down the hill
that was big enough to turn O mill.
You remember that, general?"
Perfectly. perfectly" said the gencr-
al; but he was weakened a little
"And old man Frazier told me- snid
the judge, that ono year he turned
the cider into the watts in his little tan
yard and made very fine leather Cider
makes very fine tannin. you know, gen.
eraL My father wore pair of calf
skin shoes for seven years that were
tanned with cider, and you could turn
them wrong side out as easy Us India
rubber"
The judge had out-ucroded ucrod
and general hilarity succeeded his
last effort Baron Munchauscn and the
Arabian Nights" had wonderful in
iuence over the grand old gentlemen of
the oldcn time. They were fine story
tellers, and could just make them up
right along.
