THE DRUNKARD's WIFE.
From the McDonongh weekly.

On an Ideal summer evening,
In tue gathering gloom Of CHIT,
Peeped far Luna DER the hill tops.
On most bewitching sight.
In the misty vail of twilight,
Stood maiden young and fair:
She was waiting for her lover,
Who had pledged to meet her there.
One would know it by the love-ight
That was shining in her eyes,
Which in their effulgent brightness,
Gloyed like stars in azure skies.
All! but why those nervous fancies,
Like timid, frightened deer?
Ever casting hurried glances,
Lest some spy be lurking near?
Could it be that this fair lassie,
Full of youthful JOY and hope,
Was preparing on this evening
With drunkard to elope?
II can't see,' she had been musing,
AS she stood there, DER and DER,
My my parents can OBJECT so,
When he says he'll drink no more"
"True he's often broke his promise
That he would abstain from drink;
But twas due to bad associates;
When we wed he quit, 1 think"
All! but soon there comes a foot-step
AS well-known form draws near;
And cautious voice whispers,
Bessie, darling, are you here?"
How that beating heart does hutter
AS the kisses touch her brow;
How those red lips fain would utter:
Thanks to God, he's sober now"
Oh, how eloquent the pleadings,
AS he begs her, DER and DER,
Not to heed the old folks C )unsel-
Be.his own forever more.
One brief struggle--love has conquered
She will share his hayward life,
And she quits her home forever
To become drunkards wife.
On bitter winter evening,
When the earth with snow was white,
Peeped fair Luna through the window
On most pathetic sight.
What contrast to the scene which
She had gazed on once before!
Oh, what changes time had wrought
Since only two short years ago!
Shivering DER the dying embers
Knelt a woman, worn with care;
Surely Time, when gliding onward,
Paused to leave his touches there.
Oh, the weary, tedious waiting!
Would her cruel husband stay
Down at the defiling drink-house
Til another bitter day?
Would he leave her there to perish,
From the chill, benumbing cold?
One he'd vowed to love and cherish,
Til his hands in death should fold.
Oh, the bitter, bitter yearnings!
AS the bells of memory chime
Thoughts that will come up unbidden
OF her happy girlhoOd time.
OF the halcyon days of counting,
When he won her trusting heart;
Only won that heart to break it
When from friends she was apart.
DER her thoughts there comes confu'
sion;
Slowly droops the golden head,
Freed forever from delusion,
For the drundard' wife is dead.
Needless maidens, pray take warning,
Ere tbs evermOre too late.
Do not in lifes golden morning
With drunkard link your fate.

s1NBAD's SECOND SUCCESS
Manager Henderson's Big Venture Begins
Two Weeks Engagement

Manager Henderson's Big Venture Begins
aTwo Weeks Engagement.
"Sinbad" again made his bow to a Pitts
burg audience last night at the Duquesne
Theater, and little Ninetta and the smus-
glers, pirates, cannibals, dancers and fun
makers of every description, were with
him. He is to be with us this time for two
weeks, and if the tremendous house which
greeted him last night is any criterion to 90
by, he will meet with prosperity here.
Every seat in the theater was sold last
night and great many people were
standing As the favorites appeared
one after the other they were greeted
with the heartiest applause, and
with warmth that indicated
that they had made many friends when they
changes whatever in the acting cast of the
piece. Madeline Morando has left the
corps of dancers and has been replaced by
dainty little woman named Edith Craske
who is as pretty as bisque figure in her
white wig and mottled harlequin suit. All
the songs in the piece were received with
great favor last night, especially saThe
Bogie Man." and s'That's What the Wild
Waves Are Saying" For the latter
number OF new verses have been written,
all of them striking keenly at the topics of
the hour. The care and attention which is
given the production are shown by
the fresh and perfect condition
of the costumes and scenery.
Everything was as bright and spck and
span as if it had just come from the pro-
ducer's hands. That ''Sinbad" is in for a
prosperous engagement is evidenced by the
large house which greeted it last night and
by the phenomenally big demand for seats
for the first and second weeks Numerous
theater parties and excursions are coming
from the surrounding cities to see the pro-
duction and the railroads have taken so
much interest in the engagement that they
have made reduced rates for it and have
gone to the expense of getting out special
advertising matter for 'sSinbad" On next
Monday night the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics will occupy all the

Raised n Racket to Their Sorrow

The Centennial, an apartment house
on Ferry near Liberty streets, was raided
yesterday afternoon by the officers of
Patrol Station No. l. The tenants on the
fifth floor, who are of many nationalities
and colors, were raising disturbance all
day, and at last it became so scandalous
that the business men in that vicinity re-
quested that the occupants be cleaned out
of the place. A dozen women and one man,
all in more or less advanced stages of intox-
ication, we're found. Mrs. Mary Donahue,
a woman of So, and her daughter, Mrs Mary
Reineman, 81 years old, are supposed to
operate the place, which is said by the
police to be the haunt of Italians and
negroes. The others arrested were Mary
Sarver, Rose Devine, Mrs. Donovan, a
woman of 80 years, and Tim Sullivan. IS

Idea-Methods Heretofore Utilized il
Technical Institutes Adopted for Pupils
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
Boston, Feb. ia regularly estab
lished bank with capital of s., ,0O0,0 900 be-
gan business at noon to-day, at the English
High School Its purpose is to give the
students practical training in business
methods, and is decided novelty in the
way of instruction in the public schools.
The room which the bank occupies is in the
upper story of the English High
School building and is fitted up
with the regulation banking fixtures,
provided with blank notes, drafts, checks
and billheads. A regular business will be
done every day, starting with a capital of
S., 900, for which the scholar gives his note
to the bank. Deposit books are furnished
by the school, and it is rather interesting
to note that an invoice of the books of the
old Maverick Bank have been secured.
They were secured at cut rates, and are more
valuable than was thought they would be
some weeks ago.
Actual, Not Theoretical.
A class of bows filed in at u o'clock and
began business. The first problem that was
given them was how to secure their cash at
the bank, and the whole hour was taken up
with the preliminary of the work. 1t is
calculated that two hours per week in the
work of the bank shall be spent by all the
classes from now through the rest ofthe year
in.the banking rooms of the school. But it is
not the intention of the master to teach
the boys any technical bookkeeping, but
simply to give a clear idea of the ordinary
bookkeeping used in actual business
For this purpose there is ware
house and bank department both
The boys deal in produce like
eggs, lard, hams, -four and sugar-ten sorts
of merchandise in all There Is also list
of bonds and stocks dealt in-United States
As, New York and New England IS, Chica-
go, Burlington and Quincy 5s being among
the list of the former, while Atchison,
Union Pacific, Oregon Navigation. West
End, Bay State, Gas and other active stocks
are some of those of the stock list. In all
there are six issues of bonds and Is of stocks.
Both the merchandise and stock will be
paid for through the bank. the merchandise
being sold at 30 days, with l per cent off
for cash, and the stocks and bonds for spot
cash.
Clerks From the School Room.
In the bank there will be the paying and
receiving teller and the bookkeeper, and che
warehouses force will consist of an entry
and invoice clerk and general bookkeeper.
At present there are only two boys in the
advanced class who are to take up the du-
ties of these clerks, and it is the intention
of instructors at the school to teach busi-
ness alone and not banking. It is misap-
prehension to believe that any other idea is
intended, and the bookkeeping which is
taught is just such as will be needed by a
boy going into actual business.
Next year it is very possible that the
work will be further systematized, and it is
thought that great many boys who cannot
out for that in the course to make use of the
facilities in the bank.

ANNIE WARD TIFFANY
Does Clever Work in the Step-DauEhter,

Does Clever Work in the Step-Daushter,
but Has Very Poor Play.
1t is remarkable fact that women, as a
rule, no mrtter what their powers as COM
edians may be, do not make successful dia-
lect actors Of the few who have made
their mark in this line, Annie Ward Tif-
fany stands easily in the front rank. She
has mastered the Irish "brogue" perfectly.
At the same time she herself is endowed
with considerable of the natural wit and
humor peculiar to the natives OF
s'the little green isle. It was as
Biddy Roman in the 'Shadows of Great
City" that she first attained prominence.
In that play the character she assumed was
particularly fitting. Biddy Roman had her
place in the plot, and that place she filed
like key in lock, and like the key she
had much to do with the developing of the
very clever story. But her connection with
it was not forced The incidents were not
pried apart to admit of her. How different
the case of ''The Stepdaughter, the new
play in which Miss Tiffany ap-
peared at the Grand Opera House
last night. 1t would be unjust to say the
accidents were separated to admit Miss
Tiffanys bit of character acting, for there
ire no incidents in .."The Stepdaughter" in
which she is not the incident, the situation
or whatever your pleasure may suggest as
a name for the string of antiquated stage
pictures of which this drama is made up.
She simply permeates the whole affair from
beginning to end. 1t should be called ''The
Tiffany" instead of the name it
bears now. Then, as to the play,
as previously stated there is
absolutely nothing new in it. So little ef-
fort has been made by the author, L. r.
Shewell, to produce anything new that he
has scarcely changed the name of Miss Tiff
fany's character from that in ''The
Shadows of a Great City" In it she was
Biddy Roman; in ''The Stepdaughter" she is
Peggv Logan.
The company supporting Miss Tiffany is
fairly good. One thing can be said with
confidence, that they are all, with one or
two exceptions, fully equal to the oppor-
tunitles offered. There are several excel
lent scenes. That of the drawing-room in
Mr.. Ege1ton's mansion is particularly wor-
thy of mention. The last act exhibits
rather clever revolving scene, ending with a
superb view of the rocky coast of Cliffden
by moonlight. In this scene Peggy Ro-
mans escape from her enemies by climbing
hand over hand down rope hanging from
the rrecipice made thrilling picture and
ELECTED thunders of applause. A very
large Monday night audience witnessed the
performance.

GUS HILLS GALAXY
Keep Their Reputation Up at tho Academy
of Music.

'tMore Than Ever" the topical song sung
by Marion and Keene at Harry Williams
Theater last night, is most apropos
caption for the whole bill, barring one or
two exceptions.
Gus Hill, the well-known club swinger,
heads the list of specialists. Fred Huber
and Miss Kitty Allyne ''took Off legiti-
mate comedy cleverIy, while Estelle Well
ington got many a hand by her clever
songs and unique dances. AL Reeves, the
banioist, was trifle weak in his first part,
made up of frosty sayings and songs too
often heard before. The only original and
redeeming feature was his "The Man in the
Moon" song, which caught the crowd.
Miss Maude Beverly has got voice, but
she does not articulate we'll IN English.
Perhaps she was singing Italian last night.
Fields and Hanson were the same as of old
the imitators of Wood and Sheppard-in
comical musical capers. The two Judges in
acrobatic and equilibristic acts are wonders,
while the afterpiece, 'Push and Pull" is
somewhat of departure from the "Grand
Finale" of variety show. =.

LENT AND THE GRIP.
A Papal Order Modifying Fasting Rules in
Cases of Prostration.

Papal Order Modifying Fasting Rules in
Cases of Prostration.
New York World.1
Pope Leo XIII. has issued an edict modf-
flying the usual restrictions of Lent in all
parts of the world where the grip is prev
alent. The order of the Pope has been in
the hands of the archbishops and bishops
for number of weeks. 1t was so worded
as to leave the edict imperative should the
disease have disappeared prior to the begin
ming of Lent But as the grip is still prev
alent in most parts of Europe and America,
the order will be read in all churches on
both continents on Sunday, February 2S,
Lent beginning March 2 and ending April
II. The order is similar to the one issued by
the Pope last year. 1t is intended to obviate
the possibility of too rigid fasting and alb
stinence on the part of many persons whose
health demands the generous use of nour-
1shing foods, and yet who would have re-
garded any departure from the rules as an
act of disobedience. 1t is not unusual for
the Pope to suspend the Lenten restrictions
in cases OF great emergency. During the
prevalence of cholera in Italy and France
the restrictions were entirely suspended.
Last year the use of meat was allowed on
all days OF the week, and the usual rule for
fasting was suspended. Just what the mod
ifications are this year will not be known
until the instructions are read in the
churches. The probability is that the use Of
meat Will De allowed during the entire
Lenten period. 1t is known that the health
of persons who have suffered with influenza
remains impaired long after the disease it,
self has gone, and the most nourishing foods
are essential for full recovery. There are
two features of the strict observance of
Lent-fasting and abstinence. By fasting is
meant a reduction OF the usual quantity of
food during that period. Abstinence refers
particularly to the use of meat. If the order
of the Pope removes the restrictions as to
both fea lures, Lent will not be extensively
observed this year. Mgr. Farley Vicar
General of the diocese, said last night that
he had not heard of the receipt of the Pope's
Lenten order this year, but as the conditions
now are about the same a year ago he
supposed the notifications would be the
same.
