THE art of making love on the stage
is one that few actors acquire" said an
old Thespian. "A woman naturally
clings to a man with grace, grasping his
arm with cleverly implied passion or
tenderly nesting on his bosom. But a
man doesn't get on to the nstheticism of
the thing with the same ease and grace.
Harry Lacy was n dream of lover,
though. He had Il trick of weaving his
arms about woman with n sinuous, Sc
ductive movement that brought little
lump into the throat of every woman in
the audience He always preferred ap.
preaching woman from behind and
then drawing her back into arms that
seemed made for that purpose. Hoff
isn't bad lover by any means. Ask the
st. Louis girls if they don't think he
makes very few false moves.
Funny thing, while on this topic,
but you know when Barrymore was
supporting Langtry they hated eacl
other worse than poison. He declares
she would put pins in her bodice to stick
him, and they kept up n regular quarrel
the whole time they were billing and
cooling and embracing in most ardent
fashion. Don't hold Inc so tight, sir;
you have evidently never had your
arms around lady, Langtry would
say in a whisper. If you knew how
thoroughly distasteful this is to me you
would never accuse me of getting near
you, he would reply. Do people ever
make love on the stage? Not that
know of; it is all purely business. -

IAN work and no play makes Jack dull

One of the most and successful feat
ures OF the winter season in the city Of
Philadelphia is the course Of entertain
ments given by the great dry goods
merchants. Messrs Strawbridge q Cloth.
Cloihier, to their employees and families,
a. absolutely no charge, whatever, for
admission tickets or reserved seats. The
Academy Of Music is engaged for the
purpose, and all the arrangements are
laid upon broad and liberal foundation.
There is nothing sensational about
these entertainments, nor anything that
savors Of advertising. The tickets are
distributed among the employees with
the greatest care and the interest that
is shown and the delight manifested by
the recipients must be ample repayment
TO the firm for all the money aud tinie
expended.
As illustrating the class Of artists who
have appeared at these entertainments,
the following are selected from the great
number who have appeared upon the
Course. which entered upon its eighth
year this Winter:

EVERY MAN FOR HIMsELF.

The New York EUening Post says:
The tariff plank adopted by the Connecticut
Democrats in its explicit reference to the flavor
able legislation In regard 10 the tobacco leaf'
of the Connecticut farmers comes dangerously
indOrSing one Of the most outrageous OF the
Mckinley taxes.
The Connecticut Democrats are much like
Louisiana Democrats, who favor import
duties on sugar, and like California Demo-
Gratis, no wantduties on prunes and raiSins.
The singular fact in the case is that the
Democrats should not agree TO pool their
issues. The Connecticut Democrat can
not secure import duties on tobacco unless
he comedies the same consideration to
producers in other States. Last year the
wool manufacturers Of Massachusetts came
as near making themselves ridiculous as
Massachusetts gentlemen can by asking for
free raw wool and duties on the manufac-
tured products of WOOL But when the al
tentative was presented them of free trade
all round or duties all round they quickly
recovered their senses. There is less talk
now about free raw material and duties on
unfinished goods than there was two years

SMILEY's DOWNFALL.

10 a few brief days Auditor Smiley 50 far
forgot that he was a Republican as 10 seek
the Non-Partisan nomination to the Office
he now holds by appointment. During this
period he was thoroughly convinced that the
Non-Par.isans ought to be allowed party
designation on the official ballot, and so
voted as one Of the Election Commissioners.
But when the ninety-six City Hall en-
ployes, who constitute Mr. Kelly's local
convention, met to record Mr.. Kelly's edicts.
Mr. Smiley's Republieanism began to stir
within him. He began to wonder how he
could have forgotten himself so far as TO
seek 8 nomination at the hands of an oppos-
ing convention. Nj Smiiey's political con-
science evidently pricked him sharply.
PERHAPS it prieked the more sharply in con-
sequence Of certain whispers that may have
reached bis ear that Boss Kelly was not
wholly satisfied with Mayor Sanderson as
the head Of the ticket. Mayor Sanderson,
it is understood, had been slated on account
Of his vote, as one Of the Election Con-
mission, on the demand Of the Nom
Partisans for name on the official ballot.
With Smiley classed as n Non-Pariisan,
Sanderson held the casting vote But if
Smiley could be won back 10 Republicansm,
Mr.. Kelly could get along without Mr..
Sanderson. A little talk of this kind APP
parently so revived Mr.. Smiley's Re-
publieanism that he conceived it his duty to
90 with the Republican boss to defeat if
need be. MIR. Smiley's reconversion TO Re-
publicanism cannot be charged to political
ambition. 1t is strange if he should have
deluded himself with the idea that Mr.
Kelly's ninety-six City Hail employees could
secure his election. Smiley has been thought
too shreWd n man for that.

nest Of plunderers for several years past.
a few men who have had an itching for
Office have tried TO make the public believe
they favored honest government, but what
could they do? Their names were placed
upon the tickets purposely to dupe the peO

not. therefore, worse than useless TO vote
fer men who pretend to have tolerably fair
regulations when it is known if they obtain
Office ana were ever so honest they could
not when elected do anything for the peo-
pie? 1t must be apparent, therefore, that
just so long as our citizens vote for cand-
dates which are nominated by such men rs
have controlled our nominating conventions
for some time past we cannot have hon
est government. VIII it not be surprising
if intelligent citizens can be induced to vote

IRON AND STEEL.

Ten years ago free-traders were as conf
dent that the iron and steel industry could
never be established in the United States rs
they are now that the manufacture of tin
plate cannot be made profitable. But they
are pretty much done talking about the
iron and steel industry now. In 1882 Great
Britain produced 9512.4Sl tons of pigiron,
against 3, IFS, 122 for the United States. In
half the year 1892 the American product
has risen to 5.374, 943 tons. and the British
product has fallen off to 1926, S2S. The
policy Of the British Government has been
10 supply the markets of the world. Great
Britain sends steel everywhere in the high
est form Of commercial product. The
United States rs yet has done little more
than to take possession of its home market.
But the industry which it was contended
could never be established here is now one
Of the foremost industries in the country.
1t should be borne in mind that every man
engaged in mining or manufacturing iron
and steel is a consumer of farmers products.

of the case. but if there have been abuses
as charged it is time reforms should be
made. 1t is pretty well understood that the
bosses who have controlled both political
parties in this city have managed affairs so
as to aid their employees for several years
past. There never has been time, pro ba-
bly,, when San Francisco required reforms

vidual interests that our citizens should

FREEDOM OF THE BALLoT-Box.

The following from the Richmond (Va.)
Times is given as a sample Of American
humor:
There is DO use OF Mr.. Harrison trying TO dodge
this force bill issue Say what lie VIII, the Re
publican party Is IN favor Of tie law Of force In
Southern elections and a restoration OF The old
negro, carpet-b bag ana scalawag supremacy,
while tie Democrats are for home rule and free
dom OF the ballot box.
Ii one Of the elements Of humor consists
in surprise TO the understanding, the men,
ton Of tie freedom of the ball0t-hox as one
OF the principles Of Southern Democrats is
humorous to high degree. great many
Southern men have regretted that the con-
ditiOns in the South would not permit free
dom Of the bsllOt-boX, but here we have one
who calmly assures the people of both Sec
tiens that it is free. The tariff Democrats
let 60 Of the force bill issue with evident
reluctance. 1t was the best hold they had.
They could not talk tariff, but they could
expatiate by the hour upon the horrors Of
negro domination in the South. The sug-
gestion in Mr. Harrison's letter of accept
ance that non-partisan commission be
authorized by Congress to report upon some
measure to secure qualified voters in their
right to vote without advantage to either
party at the expense of the other, has taken
this issue away from them
