Dramatic.

Proctor's New York theater has been tested to it's fullest capacity by the crowds focking nightly to see the play, "Men and Women" There has been no play in New York for years that has worH 80 we'll on repeated hearings as DeMiles and Belasco's piece. "Men and Women," presented by the excellent stock company at Proctor's theater, Twenty-third street, New York. It is play of positive contemporaneous human interests. It is neither bumptious or false in logic and theatrically it is one of the most effective plays one has seen
 The title is well chosen. It is a story that introduces every emotion to be found within the human breast-the honest love of man for man, the sweet love of lovers, the love of mother and son-the purest, greatest love of all. Against the virtues are arranged those dreadful attrib- utes of hatred and prosecuting cruelty which seem to stalk so often hand in hand
 There is also shown in this play the despair of the innocent, the overwhelming conscience of the guilty, the fighting of the wrongs, and the nobleness which hu- man character can reach. The lesson it teaches is more powerful that 8 sermon. The good which it will exert will accom- plish more than city full of mission aries. It is now in the last weeks, for in the latter part of this month it must be withdrawn to make room for Gillette's comedy, "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows"

Plenty of Sleep.

lrIoui the NeW 1OTh LcuBef.J
 It is all very well to commend getting up early in the morning. It would be diff fcult to exaggerate either the pleasure or the advantages afforded by early rising. But to rise early one must retire early.
 A plenty of sleep is one of the first re- quisites of health. Fevers and other dis eases are often occasioned by excessive fatigue. A person should sleep enough to get thoroughly rested. For some cause sleep in the early part of the night seems to be more refreshing than sleep for the same number of hours toward morning.
 Unfortunately modern social habits are tending to reverse the order of nature, turning day into night and night into day. This is very destructive to the beauty as well as the health of our American girls.
 It has been recommended that when a lady is going to attend late party-and they are all late nowadays-she should sleep several hours the day previous. II is asserted that the marvellous beauty of some of the middle aged women of Eng land has been preserved amid all the dis. sipations of fashionable society in this way

 A. Meeting Yesterday at Warner
 Hall.
 The Sunday afternoon meeting yester- day in Warner hall, under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian association was of the same instructive and interesting nature which has characterized this whole series of services. The attendance was about the usual size. The music was an attractive feature of the meeting. The speaker of the afternoon was Rev. MT. De- Larme of the Hope Baptist church. His remarks were of direct nature and car ried with them. much force. There is one question, he said, I wish to ask: Where are we to-day on our voyage of life? The evolutionist may tell us where we came from, the theologian where we are going, but still the fact remains we are here.
 Every man will ask the question of him self at times, "where art thou?" That voice of reproach came to Cain after the murder of his brother. God is never will ing to let any man go very far out of the way without letting him know of his presence. This question is one particular ly for Christians to ask of themselves. If we come to the man who has never taken Christ as his guide and savior and ask him this question he will most surely ac- cept him if the question is given an earn est consideration. We are only safe when in Christ. Those who come near to salva- tion, but do not quite reach that haven are as surely lost as those who were far away. Many of us are too doubtful about the great truths of the bible, wherein we ought to have absolute certainty This question is one which should be used per sonally, directed against oneself and not at some wicked person who lived 1900 years ago. It is not question of ''where vast thoua" but is ever in the present tense "where art thou?" now just at the present moment. Ought we not to take the blessings which God showers down on us as means of lifting ourselves up to the realms of holiness. God forbids that any of us go on year after year without ac- cepting him. May we all be able 10 an swer to that call of his, Here am, O God take me as thine own"

Give Me -
lance-iust one swift glance,

Give me glance-just one swift glance, Between those silken lashes, As through a mist-wreath, cleft by chance> A drifting sunbeam flashes. Give me smile, one smile, as bright as Sunshine after shower, Or ar-gleam on a frosty night, Seen through fair lady's bower. Give me a kiss-for kiss and smile Those ruby lips were moulded, As wind blown buds the bees beguile To sip the sweets enfolded. Give me thy love-a thing apart From idle joys or pleasure; The penetralia of my heart Shall guard, foraye, the treasure Give me thyself-to crown the rest, And will hold the giver AS fair lily Con its breasD Is cradled by the river.

The names or the persons arrested are James Leonard, John Henchy, Frederick Miller, John McNamara and Frank Van Valkenberg.
