of this audience lie disturbed ror my
saker' This was at the Olympia theater
during the run of Fun on the Bristol"
AS soon as the royal box became oceu-
pied everybody was astonished to see the
orchestra suddenly stand up in the mid
die of the performance and begin play
ing s'God Bless the Prince of Wales"
OF course the whole house rose en-
masse, every eye was directed to the
royal box and the applause was deafen-
ing. The prince Immediately left the
box and demanded an explanation. MIR.
Jarritt arrived and explained that it
was only the overzealousness Of too
patriotic band conductor. This con-
cluded the incident, but it was accepted
as precedent, and the same intimated
to the managers generally. This is why
you often hear people say in theater
toward the close of the performance:
ssWhy, there is the Prince Of Wales over
there in a box, and they never played
God Save the Queen What shamep
The prince always waits until the
final curtain has descended before rising
to leave. This is his invariable rule. So
much SO that he has sat out the entire
harlequinade of a Drury lane panto-
mime. There are three or four theaters
only where he ever breaks this rule.
They are those houses which have no
royal entrance, and here the prince an
ticipates the final curtain by two or
three minutes, so that his departure will
not disturb the carriage traffic of the re-
mainder of the audience.
Immediately the prince is announced
to have visited theater the booking
rises, barometerlike, to good heat.
This is in reference to the booking pub
lie, but beyond this when his royal
highness likes play he invariably rec
ommepds it to all his friends. In many
other ways the prince is always think
ing of the drama. When he sees bene-
fit announced for some we'll known
artist who has often ministered to his
amusement, or some poor player who
has fallen on bad times, he Immediately
puts his name down for stalls or boxes
to substantial amount.-London Morn

High above the ceaseless rumble and
roar Of traffic rose human voices in anx-
ious inquiry, and the dense throng at tho
intersection of State and Madison streets
grew denser still. It was Just before
sunset, and the mighty heart Of Chi
cago's business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours Of another day of toll, and the
hurrying homeward Of restless, eager
thousands. The swiftly moving streams
of humanity that are wont to meet in
eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each In it's destined course, had sudden
" become blocked and chaos reigned.
Pushed toward the common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car
riagesl and in street cars, and unable.to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd In the streets and on the side
walks overfowed into alleys and surged
hither and yon like the resistless ebb
and flow of a mighty sea.
A policeman on the outskirts Of the
dense throng climbed a lamppost, and
from his elevated position surveyed the
scene.

waving his club. "Give him ARR
"What's the matter?' inquired hun
bred voices as he climbed down.
~ don't know" he answered, and with
gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up
the street, disappeared down q short
fight Of stairs, from which few mo-
ments later he emerged, wiping his
mouth, and in the same stern, uncom-
promising way he walked block far
Their and sent in fire alarm.
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madison grew every moment
mora appalling and inextricable.
Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through
the crowd, newspaper reporter at last
was seen bearing down toward the CEN
ter Of the compact mass. His hat was
off, his hair flying In the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, but with set teeth
and di1ated nostrils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who opposed his progress.
Reaching the center of the throng he
seized two individuals by their arms, and
in the same resolute, fearless way opened
passage for them to the outside, and,
as If by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved; the converging streams Of hu-
mainly whirled and eddied as before,
and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again.
The reporter had conjectured rightly.
The blockade was caused by two women
who had met in the exact center Of the
street and stopped to tell each other the
troubles they were having with their
hired girls.-Chicago Tribune.

Great Financiers Who Tear paper.

The propensity to tear paper into little
pits is peculiar to Wall street brokers.
Visitors in the Stock exchange fire.
quently comment on the fact that the
floor of the large boardroom is thickly
strewn with tiny pieces of paper. Each
broker carries Q small memorandum
pad, and as he becomes excited be tears
off page and proceeds to convert 1t into
the largest number of infnitesimal
pieces of which his fingers are capable.
Some uncommonly nervous brokers will
destroy two or three pads day in this
manner. Mr.. Henry Clews is tireless
paper tearer. When he is talking bust
ness in his Office his hands are restlessly
reducing paper to snowfakes, which he
throws into the air and watcl4s with
apparent interest as they scatter over
the floor and the furniture. He prob
ably tears up more paper and tears it
finer than any other man in Wall street.

Where the English Poetic Are Buried.


Of Shakespeare Westminster abbey
contains only monument. His bones,
as everybody knows, rest at Stratford-
upon-Avon, and Milton is honored only
by bust. The author of Paradise Lost"
is buried in the Church of st. Giles,
Cripplegate, and there is no reason to
doubt that the dean and chapter of his
day would have refused him the right of
gepulture in the abbey when he died had
it been then asked for. Even so late as
the beginning of the Eighteenth century
the phrase, "second to Milton alone"
which had been proposed as an epitaph
for the poet Phillips, was "ruled out" by
Dean Sprat, who regarded the name Of
Milton as too detestable to appear in
building dedicated to religion.
Thirty years later not only Millions
name but the bust to his memory was
admitted, although the accompanying
inscription was not of felicitous char
acter. Byron was actually refused
burial in the abbey; Goldsmith lies in
the precincts of the temple; Gray was
buried in the country churchyard, that
at Stoke Poges, near Slough, in which
he wrote his immortal "Elegy;;" and of
more modern bards Wordsworth, Ten
nyson's immediate predecessor in the
laureateship, is buried "by Rotha's
stream" in Grasmere churchyard, while
the heart of Shelley and the body of
Keats are inferred in a Protestant ceme-
terry at Rome.
Posterity is the only sure judge of
poetical renown, and who can doubt
that were Keats and Shelley to die now
they would as matter of course be
accorded a place where Browning
and Tennyson lie. 1t is safe predic-
ton, however, that our descendants will
not hold us of the Nineteenth century to
blame for admitting into the poets cor
ner the remains of the author of "Morte
d'Arthur" and Sin Memoriam."-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Ordering His Own Tombstone.

A countryman called on sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered tombstone in the
shape of cross, and gave full instruc-
lions as to the lettering and the date of
the decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed, however, to
turn up at the day appointed, and the
sculptor wrote to remind him of his
promise. The other day the man turned
up at last, but said that he wanted the
date erased. On being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that gypsy woman had told
him that he would die on the day which
he had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross; the prophecy had not, however,
come true, and he now wanted to take
away the monument, but without the
date.-Deutsche Warte.

Cold Water Injuries Plants.

Guard against the application of cold
or hard water to the roots of plants, and
especially In the winter months, when
there has been heavy fall of snow, hail
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
then becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course of things, and the plants are sure
to suffer check at the roots that, in the
case of camellias, for instance, would
be quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
am always very careful that the water
in our tanks is few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important in sue
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be-
holding a sickly plant-one widowed or
with rust on the foliage-that it must
have been subjected to a draft or cur
rent of cold air, whereas the probable
cause was the use Of cold water, which
paralyzed the roots. Proof of this may
easily be seen by giving one or two APP
plications of cold water to winter Gu
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
their pods.-Exchange.

AFTER AN OFFICE:
MRS. aease wants TO Be Senator from


Kansas.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. l5.-Every day
brings some change in the original re-
ports Of the complexion Of the Kansas
legislature. Official returns so far re-
ceived indicate that the Populists have
"a senators and the Republicans 16.
The Republicans have So members Of
the house, barely q majority; the Demo
Gratis 2, and two districts are tie be-
tween the Republicans and the Popu-
lists. Should the Republicans win both
ties the Populists would lack one Of
having enough to elect United States
senator on joint ballot, the two Demo
cratic senators having the balance
Of power. Should complete returns
show this to be the situation, there Is
probability that the Republicans would
vote with the two Democrats for
straight-out Democrat rather than see
either q Populist or Fusion Democrat
elected.
Mrs. Lease says she n going to look

will be candidate for the senatorship

The Pottery Tree of Brazil.

The pottery tree, found in Brazil, is
curious and useful. One would scarcely
expect to find pots and Jars and pitchers
growing in if not on tree, but the ma
teria1 for them certainly grows in this
tree. It is found in the form of silica,
chiefly in the bark, although the very
hard wood of the tree also yields it. To
make this curious pottery the bark Is
burned, and what remains is ground to

CARTER ON THE RESULT.

The Chairman of the Republican Com
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Hon Thomas
n. Carter, chairman of the Republican
national committee, has gone to Wash
ington. He said last week that he was
preparing a statement and would give it
out this week. It is thought that he
will give it to the public in Washing
ton after he has seen the president. Be-
fore Mr.. Carter left the city he said to a
friend that the Republican party was
fairly and squarely beaten. If the Dem
ocratic victory had been in certain 10
calities, then some local or special causes
could be given. 1t was too sweeping to
attribute it to local causes. The chair
man stated that the demand for national
speakers all over the country was 30
great that the committee could not fur
nish one-half OF them. Every small
town from California to Maine wanted
national speaker, and the result was
many places were disappointed. The
Democrats wanted free trade, and
the tax on state banks repealed, and
they did not try to conceal it. 1t was
protection ard the present national bank
system against free trade and state
bank system. The people declared in
favor of the latter. Even the weather,
added Mr.. Carter, could not be given as
an excuse for the defeat of the Repub-
licans. 1t was beautiful weather, fact
which favored Republican success. No
educational campaign could have been
conducted with a greater degree of salts
faction as far as reaching the people was
concerned. Some 40, O00, 900 documents
on the tariff were sent out to the voters,
and they had opportunity to study the
question thoroughly. Mr.. Carriers
statement will cover the above in de-
tail, and much more will be added.
