4 CensorshIp of the Theater.

The laws of political and ecclesiastical
censure had come again into force, and we
actors had to contend with very serious diff
fculties in observing the innumerable eras-
ures and the ridiculous substitutions which
the censors made in our lines.
The c0lors green, white and red were pro-
hibited. Yellow and black and yellow and
white were also forbidden. Flowers thrown
OH the stage must not show any of those
colors prominently, and if it chanced that
one actress had white and green in her
dress, another who wore red ribbons must
not come near her. If we transgressed, we
were not punished with simple warnings,
but with so many days Of arrest, and with
fines which varied in amount according to
the gravity of the offense.
remember well that one night when |
played the captain in Goldoni's "Sposa
Sagace," | was fined 10 scudi for wearing g
blue uniform with red facings and white
ornaments, for the excellent reason that
the blue looked green bv ar. i.icial light.
Another time our leading actress was
playing Marie Stuart and had to receive
the dying David Rizzio in her arms and
to kiss him on the forehead just as he drew
his last breath. had to pay 20 scudi for
the kiss had received without being aware
of itl-Tommaso Salvini in Century.

CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

The suggestion comes from Chicago
that the Worlds Fair may have to be
continued throughout next year in order
to enable the management to recoup it
self for the vast expenditures that have
been made.
The Spanish caravels are on their way
to Chicago by long water route, and
will probably not reach the Worlds Fair
before July. They will be objects of
great interest to the people who encoun-
ter them in the st, Lawrence or the
Lakes.
Much-needed money is now flowing
into the treasury OF the exposition as q
result OF the largely increased attendance
of visitors. No one welcomes the change
more than Treasurer Seeburger, whose
position since May has not been an
enviable one. The exposition has been
short of ready money to liquidate its OBJ
legations to contractors and employees,
and it is not out of the woods yet by any
means. Bank and commercial failures
in that region and the panicky feeling
among savings-bank depositors, which
has lust subsided, have made it impos-
sible for the exposition corporation to
borrow any large sum of money, and the
directors have stuck manfully to the pay
as-you-go policy, having confidence in Il
speedy and permanent change in the
number of paid admissions. The 100,-
600 mark has been passed at the gates
several times, and is accepted as an in
dication OF an era of prosperity and
plentitude of cash to pay off all out
standing bills. There is standing order
at the finance department for Auditor
Alderman to hold all vouchers for money
due on April and May contract work in
his Office until there is money to spare
in the treasury for the payment of it.
1t means that only March bills have
been paid on contract work, but the en-
ployes of the exposition have been paid
promptly. There is much discomfort
among the workmen on the pay roll of
the fair on account of the order just is
sued by the director of works reducing
the force to an eight-hour basis and eight
hours pay. They have been working
ten hours and for eleven hours pay.
There is talk of striking, but such step
is likely to result in the strikers being
put on an indefinite vacation basis with
out pay.

The Best Way to Avoid Colds.

How long, oh, Lord how long before
people will learn that the person who
bundles himself or herself up in heavy
clothing and thick bandages to escape colds
and kindred inconvenience is the person
who Is most likely to catch cold and be
troubled generally by the things that it rs
attempted to escapei In winter one often
sees the foolish young man who won't go
into the cold air unless his neck is mufled
in silk kerchief or shielded from the
wind by the turned up coat collar. And
that person always has cold Just about
this time of the year, when colds are plenti-
full enough, you'll notice that the people
who catch them are the people who are
forever exhibiting the utmost anxiety that
they will catch them, and adopting elabo-
rate precautions against the dread disorder
Well, here is something that is true:
The way to keep colds off is to strengthen
those parts that are usually the seats of
disturbance, and the way to strengthen
those parts is by exposure. That sounds
like bad advice, but it isn't. Don't be
afraid to let the wind get good crack at
you, and let it strike often, and you'll not
have so many colds as the fellow that's al
ways muffied.-Interview in st. Louis
