sarah's strangIing Place.

A story is told by the Dramatic Mirror
about Piron, the stage manager for Sarah
Bernhardt, that is rather amusing. In
Fedora" Sarah is strangled TO death on a
dlyan in the last act. She does not carry
her own divan for the purpose, but leaves
it for Piron TO hire a fresh one at every
stand. Now, Mr.. Piron is man of grave
almost melancholy aspect and demeanor.
He has dark beard and eye aud profound
voice. A few weeks ago-it was, believe,
IN Williamsburg-he sailed forth for the
dvan. He entered a furniture-store and
looked over batch Of divans until he came
upon one that seemed large and soft enough.
"Um," he said, soto voce, "tEis should do.
She Will not object TO being strangled upon
it. She will fall well on it," His soliloquy
was overheard BY the head clerk, and that
person became violently alarmed and, think

about for an hour until the two reached the
theater. Then, by putting two aud two to-

from the reception given the fair warbler
one might prognostieate that her star is in
the ascendant Miss Yaw has most Pc
culiar voice. and she uses it in very
peculiar manner. What she lacks most is
cultivation. She has a remarkable range,
but does not know how to make the most OF
the gifts nature has bestowed Oh her. There
is birdlike quality in her tones, but her
execution is uncertain. Signor s. Martinez
number, "St. Francis of Paul Walking on
the Waves" by List, was the most enioya-
bic on the programme. and he played with
all the vlgor and artistic finish for which he
is famous. Mr. Walter c. Campbell sang

numbers were much enjoyed, and Dr.. Re
