DAYS THAT ARE PAST.
No Longer Does the Gallery Guy the UI
Offending "Supe."

No Longer Does the Gallery Guy the Un-
offending "Supe."
Is it a sign of the progress or Of the
regress of the drama that there seems
to be less of the traditional wit of the
gallery than there used to be? AS it is
customary to lay the responsibility for
almost everything upon cigarettes, let
us say that cigarettes have chastened
the spirits of the gallery. Twenty
years ago when the young gentlemen
with cowlicks combed obliquely across
their foreheads, long-tailed blue or
gray coats with metal buttons, frogs
and braid, small clothes and gray stock
ings covering bashful calves came for
ward between the scenes or acts to rim
up the stage carpet with neatness and
dispatch, the gods would hail them with
glad acclaim, says Truth.
Joyous cries of "Supe," "Supe,"
would run around the gallery and
drown the munching of peanuts. Cheer.
ing whispers would accompany the car
pet knights in their moments toll, and
satirical request to Pad them
shanks!' would be flung down at them.
1t was almost a recognized bit of inter
mezzo, this tender chaff. The boys in
the gallery would have given all their
! stores of Beadle's dime novels to have
such an access to the mysteries of the
stage as the cowlicl1ed approximations
had, and did but veil their envy in these
gentle jeers. Who asks the supe to pad
his shanks now? Where shall one 90
now to find carpet-shifter of the old
| school? Alas, time and severity of the
gallery policeman have destroyed the
noble art of guying the supe. It has
vanished from the gallery even as those
tenuous shins have vanished from the
stage.

HER HAIR WASN'T DRY.

She Had a Shampoo, But Her Wedding
Abbreviated Everything Else.
A charming young lady walked into
a hairdresser's establishment in the
southeastern section of the city one day
recently and informed the proprietress
that she wanted her hair thoroughly
washed and shampooed. her bangs
frizzed and curIed, aud her tresses
dressed in the highest style of the art.
The attendants started in, and after
duly admiring the magnificent luxuri-
ance and fine sillzen quality of the fair
ones golden loclzs-and they were beau
tiful-proceeded with the shampooing
process. Then it was necessary to fan
the hair and put it into a warm box to
dry it. The customer interrupted this
portion of the performance by saying,
suddenly:
please hurry up the other part Of
this business; am to be married in an
hour"
But" exclaimed the startled hair
dresser, lit will require all that time to
dry your hair, and can't dress it until
it is dry"
Fix it somehow" was the reply. II

Her hair was piled up on her head,
wet as it was, and after the bang had
been arranged she left, saying: I'm

morrow and let you finish up the job. "
81 haven't seen that bride since, ="
said the lady of the establishment, in
telling the story, land suppose she's

A SUIT brought against one of those
novelists whose books are found on the
news stands, has brought out some of
the secrets of modern novel making.
This woman wrote one book of which
100, 900 copies were sold. She testified
that she received s., 900 for it. Another
book sold $4,000 copies and she got $3.50
for it. She is now employed by book
and story mandatory, receiving $40 a
week. She is given the shell or skeleton
of story, just as artificers in the trades
are given patterns, and she is expected
to fill up the chinks at the rate of one
story every two weeks; and her en-
ployers does not care whether she buys,
begs, borrows or steals from the unpro-
tected English novels her dialogue and
her situations. This revelation ex-
plains why novels are now the work of
manufacturers.

NEW York, March 15.-Hattie e. wey-

with her father, a fairly prosperous
shoemaker at Newburgh. She had a
stepmother with whom she could not
agree, and at times would desert her
household duties to earn pin money in a
local factory. Hattie was proposes
slug girl of 10 years, with regular fea-
lures, perfect teeth and dark hair and

In September last she suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared from her home.
Brothers and sisters, and half-brothers

Hattie had become stage struck. She
came to this city, and her pretty face,

her a position as a chorus girl, and she
adopted "MAy Knowles as her stage
name. She took a furnished parlor in
East Ninth street, and not long ago was
in the chorus of ia Cigale," of which
Lillian Russell was the star, in the Gar

On March DR.. s. B. Minden, of St.

Had they reduced the gold coin only

Mr. CLEvELAND's letter is not as ex-
plicit as it might be. He poses as an
unwilling candidate and incidentally
directs his knife at Senator Hills fifth
rib. We must confess to being dis
appointed in the turn of affairs. Sena-
tor Hill will receive the unanimous
support of the New York delegation
and, knowing this, Mr. Cleveland's allu-
sion to self-seeking canvass was poor
politics, if nothing more. In the event
of the nomination falling to the ex-
president, the support of Senator Hills
forces is one of the first essentials of
success. Many of Mr. Cleveland's
friends had hoped that his letter would
be more to the point-like Blaine's, for
instance. Cleveland is an able man
and worthy one, but with his own
state arrayed against him the chances
of his succeeding are not bright; unless,
as we said, the clans in the empire state
"get together"

PATRICK A. COLLINS, of Massachu-
sets, who is as level headed a democrat
as the country affords, has been discuss
ing the subject OF the best method of
dealing with the present democratic
situation. He thinks, that in the
present uncertainty of the party, with
the disturbances prevailing, especially
in New York, wisdom dictates that all
delegations should go unpledged; foot
lose and free, SO that they can do their
best under the circumstances when the
last hour comes. "NoT man in our
party" he says, "now knows exactly
what is best to be done. All such
know, at least approximately, then, and
we all now believe, that two democrats
can be elected president and vice-presi-
dent of the United Statos if an I'M
muzzled convention, with enough wis.
dom, names them. 1 have no candi-
dates, but il am delegate think I
can find them among the 5000, 900
democrats Of the republic" The essence
of the political philosophy which this
extract from Mr. Collins remark en-
bodies is that the machine must repre-
sent the sentiment of the masses of a
party or rule at the peril of wrecking it.
