FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
WHAT IT is TO BE MANLY.

oh, boys, you are quick and strong Of limb.
iou can run and wrestle and leap and swim
And delight in your deeds of daring:
BUT remember, dear boys, in whatever Won
do, 49,
us brave to be tender and kind and true
Ills manly TO be forbearing.
Inc manly boy VIII defend the weak;
He will guard his lips, and be slow to sneak
inc word that Will hurt another;
IN aidingthe helpless he'll do his part.
Ano nell strive to deserve with a royal heart
The tender kiss OF his mother.
The tree, we say, is known by its fruit
And actions speak when the lips are mute.
And tell with truth answering
Ihat you are the manly boys, indeed,
Who use your strength for another's need
And delight in unsel2sh serving.

weeks. Many times he disappointed his
audiences because of this overpowering APP
petite for alcohol But, strangely enough.
he never seemed 70 lose the public's favor.
Another mans career would have been
ruined by one escapade such as Emmett
INDUCED in dozens of times,
1t was during and doubtless because of one
of these protracted sprees in 1890 that his
wife, who had gone hand in hand with him
for twenty-seven years, cheerfully helping
him at first ia abject poverty and after
ward sharing in his princely wealth, APP
piled for and obtained an absolute divorce.
He offered no defense, but declared that he
loved her and blamed only himself. He
gave her the beautiful home he had built
in Albany and nearly half a million in
government bonds. Shortly before his
death it was announced with how much
truth do not know that he was about to
marry Helen Sedgewick. an actress. He
had no enemy but himself, and when not
crazed by liquor he seemed to love all men,
He was born in St. Louis. March 10, 1871,
of Irish-American parents. As a boy he
showed considerable ability as a mimic of
dialects, and his voice always led in the
serenades, for which club formed by him
became well known in the city. 1t was
during one of these serenading parties that
he met the young woman--a daughter of
one of the best families of st. LOuis-whom
he afterward married. He also became an
expert on the snare drum. One day in
1855, when party Of friends were visiting
his Albany home, he pointed to a battered
old drum hanging in a conspicuous place
and said, ''That drum was the foundation
Of my fortune" And it was, for it won
for him his first appearance on the stage.
This was AS drummer for a company Of
bell ringers. Before this, however, he had
learned the sign painters trade and made
a fair living by it. Some of the signs which
he turned out are still in existence in St.
Louis
His early theatrical efforts We're confined
to burnt cork minstrelsy and song and
dance work in variety shows. In 1869
Charles Gaylor, who made a fortune by
writing plays for people with specalties,
wrote for him Fritz, Our Cousin Ger
man. This was produced at the Buffalo
Academy of Music, Nov. % of that year
The day before this play was to be pro-
duce,l Emmett was at loss for costume
to wear in it, He walked down Exchange
street. and near the railroad station met a
German Just arrived ON an immigrant
train The Germans clothes were exactly
what Emmett wanted, and finally he
bought them for ten dollars. The next
night, when he appeared on the stage
dressed for his part, even Gaylor failed to
recognize him.

The success of this play and others which
followed it leach with a stupid but brave
and honest German for its hero was inn
mense. Emmett made hundreds of thou
sands of dollars out Of them. When he
was sober he was not an extravaganza man,
and notwithstanding the enormous sums
he squandered during his debauches, he
died rich.
His house at Albany, which he gave to
his wife, was his greatest pride, and he
spent vast sums on it. It is said that he
never saw it after the decree of divorce was
granted her. 1t is a fantastic pile Of ma

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Jimmy Eustice of New Haven has been challenged by Frank Crowley of Bridgeport to fight to a finish for purse of $4O0.
 The Bridgeport polo team defeated Meriden last night, 1 to 3, at Meriden. Before the game the wheelmen defeated the newspaper men 17 to 14 at indoor baseball.
 Sundays Sporting Life contained a note saying, players wishing to play in Bridgeport this summer should com municate with Thomas Feeley. Nil Feeley's troubles then commenced. His regular mail suddenly became very heavy and each day adds more to his agony. Letters from tall, short, stout, thin, high salaried, low salaried, white, black, red and "yellow" ball players are received in every mail from the north and east.

The New Cauaan Murderer.

According to the sentence of the court Jacob Scheele, the New Canaan mur- derer, has but a few months to live. June 10 is the date set for his execution. There is no change in his conduct and his actions give no indication that he re. alizes he is standing in the shadow of the gallows. He may have hope that something will yet interfere to save his life and that his sentence will be com muted, but others who know say there is no hope for him in that respect, as when he was given an opportunity tc plead guilty to a charge of murder ir trial for murder in the first degree.

 The ceremony was a very imposing affair. Archbishop Ryan received he vows, after which Cardinal Gibbons | preached & powerful sermon, dwellin on the sacrifices made by the new sister.
 Miss Drexel is the daughter of the late Francis A.

 | During her trial Miss Drexel has felt perfectly happy, and has been most ex act in the observance of all the rules O the order. About six months ago sh J conceived the idea of founding al ! order whose sole work should be th' teaching of the Indian and negro. Re gently she wrote the rules of the new or ner and forwarded copy of the san t.

 Last Night.
 The woolen mill on the Derby turn pike, situated in Orange, belonging to Leonidas Allen, was burned to the ground last evening. The fifty men and women employed in the mill were at work overtime. A fire caused by fric- tion started in the picking machine. The flames spread with such rapidiiy that the people employed in the shop were in great danger while making their escapes from the building, for almost simultaneously the entire mill was in a huge mass of flames.
 Nothing could be done to save the mill nor the house next it, which also belonged to Mir Allen, nor the grist mill across the-roadway. All three went up in smoke in very short space of time. The house was occupied by some of the workmen employed at the mill and the furniture in it was destroyed. The total loss is said to be Sl5,0O0.

 Well, you see, Susie, the pet of our house, is seven years old, and wife and I have been thinging that as she is not very strong it would be the proper thingtog give her musical education. You know, John, when you and were children attention was not so much in that direction and it was not considered so much of qualifica- tion as at present, so don't wonder in the least at the look of surprise that crosses your face. But really, John, your. wife asked me to bring up the subject to you as your Bessie is getting to be the right age for piano, as well; and she was of the opinion that if we should decide to both buy at once that Shoninger would give us a discount. I understand they are very reasonable with honest people who desire piano, and being honest themselves that firm would be the best to patronize., What do you think! Why, Peter, l have been thinking for some time on tue sa ne subject, and I stepped into the store this morning and requested MT Pelham to give me list of names comprising recent purchasers, He
 Very kindly and l must say little proudly acceded to my request by bringing forth list of names, that fairly astonished ne. Examine it. John, perusing.) Whew, but ] that is surely sumner. If those people
