scent nickels are worth 81 lii gold,
and yet the value of the metal IN
these twenty pieces is worth Only ] o
cents. So 10 cents actual value in
nlckels will pay as much OF a debt
and bay as many of the necessaries
OF life as 100 cents actual value in
gold. How is this? The stamp Of
the Government makes money out
OF the base metal aud puts more
value in 1t than it possesses intrin-
sically.
Fifteen cents will buy copper

the Government increases the value
OF the Is cents worth of coppers un.

There is no promise stamped on q
cent or q nickel. There is nothing
but an indication of the value OF the
piece Of money. The Government
says the nickel piece is. worth S
cents, and It is so, although,thc value
Of the metal composing it IS only
worth half a cent. The statute pro-
vides that the nickel il worth S

nlckels you can buy twenty loaves
of bread, which is the same as get

There is great outcry about fiat
money. If this nickel business is
not fat money we would like to
know wat it is. 1t is as good

"The Will O. the Wisp" and
"The Athlete Score Hits.

The Irish comedian, Mr.. Edgar Seldep.
appeared at the Academy last night in
his romantic melodrama, "The Will O.
the Wisp." The house was crowded with
an enthusiastic audience, and Mr.. Selden
was repeatedly called before the curtain.
Mr.. Selden has a handsome stage pres
ence and greatly resembles Seaman. He
does the careless good natured Irish boy.
Oiny Darrell, TO perfection. The part is
well adapted to his style. and though ap-
pareptlv self-conscious, he Is magnetic.
His dancing Is graceful and he sings adj
mirably many original Irish songs. and
his uuips and tricks take with his audi
ences. He is a typical Irishman and his
brogue is fresh and breezy.
The scene of the play is laid il Ireland.
The piece opens at a village inn on Hol-
low'een. The drama abounds with fine
scenic effects, emotion and romance.
The dialogue is bright and witty. A
pretty scene in the first act is an old
ruined abbey, and another equally effec-
tive, in the third act, is u cascade with
real water flowing through hugh racks.
The cast is excellent. Pete McCloud.
as a consequential village tailor, portrays
the character thoroughly. Mr.. Basil
West, as Sir Eustace Clavering, a titled
rogue is good. and Mr.. Alfred Beverly as
'Orris 'Arris, the cockney guide, was i'm
mense. Miss Belle Barron az Agnes
Clayering is clever, and Miss Elsie Sheri-
dan as Nancy Monohan delighted the
audience with her wit, pretty songs and
dancing.
The twill o. the Wisp'' will be played
two nights more and at a matinee tomor-
row afternoon.

FRANK MAYo's ATHLETE"
An Excellent Drama Made from "Man
and Wife, Well Played.

An Excellent Drama Made from "Man
and Wife" Well Played.
The rain last night did not prevent a
delighted audience from seeing Frank
Mayo and his strong company in "The
Athlete" at the New Opera House. The
drama is a strong one, full of force and
pathos, and is familiar to every one who
has read Wilkie Collins celebrated novel,
MAN and Wife," from which the play is
taken.
Contrary to the usual custom of stars,
Mr.. Mayo takes the part OF the william.
and his interpretation of the part of Geof-
fry Delamayne. the athlete and gentle
manly ~ruffian. is excellent. His English
accent is very correct and seems natural
to linn. Mr.. Mayo's magnificent physique
shows to advantage as the athlete, and
when in the course of the play ne over
trains and breaks down, Mr.. Mayo is true
to life.
MIR. Henry Lee as Sir Patrick Lundy
renders very good support, and so does
Mr.. Edwin +. Mayo as Old ~Bishopriggs.
whose Scotch dialect is inimitable.
In the last act Miss Mary Levere as
Hester Dethridge give evidence of much
dramatic talent, and her acting is very
good. Miss Kathleen Kerrigan did well
as Ann Sylvester, the Athletes victim.
The play is excellent, Ii one nat can be
recommended to all. 1t is void of any
coarse expressions, and tells a fascinating
story in such a delightful and clever Esan-
ner that every one regrets seeing the cur
tain make its tlnal drop.
The scenery is very good, and we'll set.
Mr.. Mayo and his excellent will
remain at the Opera House all the week.
Matinees will be given Wednesday and
s. aturday.

of offices paying about the same
salary which are available and
in not a few OF these Mr..
Cleveland might do considerable pub
lie service. He would make a good

combine sufficient dignity with their
emoluments to permit of graceful ac-
ceptance by q man who had occupied

We understand that all question of
a new candidature by MI. Cleveland

he gets fair play, but that it will not
do anything to injure itself in caring

SHOULDN'T LET THE CHURCH FOR
SHOWS.
E,om the Newark Evening Eeys.

From the NeDark Evenino Ee,os.
It will strike most people that the Har'
risen clergyman who, during an enter
tainment in his church arose and rebuked
an elocutionist who was reciting a story
of a "nigger's" supposed ludicrous en-
trance INTO the Kingdom of Heaven did u
proper and consistent thing. Under some
cir circumstances it is likely that this story
would not offend anybody. Its irrever-
ence may not be regarded as evil in pur-
pose or motive. Its hit at the colored
race Is harmless and ~good-natured. But
a church entertainment is no place for
telling stories of imagined buffoonry at
the g tie of the Kingdom of Heaven, and
the Clergyman, though he may have hurt
some worthy peoples feelings by doing
50, did we'll to embrace such an oppor-
tunity to enforce respect for his church
and teach a telling lesson in ordinary
courtesy, delicacy and good manners.

to do he did not know. Tony did hi'
best TO comfort him; but the tear s
would gather in his eyes, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that he at
last forced himself to get up and go
to the florist, who lived near by, for
the usual supply of buds.
Having filed his basket, the boy
vent home again, and tied it around
Tony's neck. Then he looked at the
dog, and said:-'Now, Tony, you're
the only fellow I've got to depend On.
Go and sell my flowers for me, and
bring the money home safe, and don't
let any one steal anything" Then he
kissed the dog, and pointed to the
door.
Tony trotted out in the street to
Beppo's usual corner, where he took
his stand. Beppo's customers soon
saw how matters stood, and chose
their flowers, and put their money
into the tin cup in the centre of the
basket. Now and then, when a rude
boy would come along and try to
snatch a flower from the basket, Tony
would growl fiercely and drive him
away.
So that day went safely by, and at
nightfall Tony went home to his mas
ter, who was a~nXiously waiting to see
him, and gave him a hearty welcome.
Beppo united the basket and looked
in the cup, and l should not wonder
if he found more money in it than he
ever did before.
This is how Tony sold the rosebuds,
and he did it SO well that Beppo never
tires of telling about it.-Hd7per's

Sunny Rooms for Health.
The rooms occupied by children
should be made bright, light and
pleasant. 1t is seldom thought of as
much as it should be, how essential
to health of children plenty of light,
especially sunlight, is. One reason
why poor peoples children thrive in
the face of most adverse surround
ings is that they are nearly all day
out of doors in the full light
of day and in the air. Keep
ing children excluded from sunlight
and putting them in dark, gloomy
rooms, is similar to caging a young
bird and keeping it always in the
shade; it will soon droop and lose all
brightness, becoming dull and song
less. Some children look pale and
delicate, although surrounded with
every comfort and luxury, well fed,
we'll looked after. The real cause is
often want of light, want of sunlight
and want of cheerfulness in the people
and in the rooms they inhabit.

ONE Herman j. Schultheis, a pro-
fessional labor agitator and hanger
ON of the Harrison anamaker
regime, arrived in New York yester-
day in the Storage of the Cunard
steamship Servia. With that love for
the weak and unprotected which
characterizes professional agitators
and Republican hangers-on, he
signalized his arrival by a base and
cowardly attack on the morals OF
the poor immigrant girls and women,
and especially a pretty young Swed-
ish girl, whose gayety during the voy-
age made her the butt of his vile
suspicious. These poor people were
bona fide settlers, and were, there
fore, fair game for the heelers and
agitators. If they had been imported
Welsh tin workers, they would have
been all right.
The case is q beautiful pendant to
the O'Beirne outrages at the Barge
Office. 1t is just n more offence to
be punished by the people in 1892.

HOW rony Sold Rosebuds.

He was only a dog, but a remark
ably clever one. He belonged to the
class known as shepherd dogs, which
are noted for their sagacity and fdel-
ity. His master was a little Italian
boy called Beppo, who earned his liv-
ing by selling flowers on the street.
Tony was very fond of Beppo, who
had been his master ever since he
was a puppy, and Beppo had
failed to share his crust with his
good dog. Now Tony had grown
to be a large strong dog. and took as
much care of Beppo as Beppo took OF
him. Often, while standing ON the
corner with his basket on his arm,
waiting for a customer, Beppo would
feel inclined to cry from very loneli-
ness; but Tony seemed to know when
the ''blues" came, and would lick his
masters hand, as much as to say:
you've got me for a friend. Cheer
up! Pm better than nobody: I'll
stand by you"
But one day it happened that when
the other boys who shared the dark
cellar home with Beppo went out
early in the morning as usual, Beppo
was so i'll that he could hardly lift his
head from the straw on which he
slept. He felt hat he would be un-
able to sell flowers that day. What

Consumption.

1t is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely a
local trouble. 1t is unquestionably a disease of
the blood, and therefore the right way to cure
Gaia rrh is to remove from the blood the impuri-
ties which cause and feed it. This is to be done
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, which effectually expels all traces of
poison and germs of disease.
