Madame Sarah B%ernhardt, who has
been giving performances In Buds
Pesth, Hungary, came into conflict
with the local authorities, who obliged
her TO take out a "trade license" pro-
p~ortionate In cost TO her financial re-
turns. Madame Bernhardt's secretary
maintained that the receipts for three
evenings amounted to S7,7s5, while the
ex penses were IS, $50; so that the result
of the ~"yisit" was an actual loss, but
the officials cut 50, 500 of the estimate
OF expenditure and obliged Madame
Barnhardt to pay 81, 200 for her trade

ssHalf Mast Hfgh."
Love has a large share In the mouve
power OF .'Half Mast High" . drama
in four acts by Tom Craven, recently
produced at the Pavilion. London.
James Raybolt, q manufacturer mas
one daughter, Minnie, who sees through
the ~pretenses of Arthus Sweetman, her
fathers hypocritical manager. while
her love impels her toward Frank
Wilde, a naval engineer. Edith Price,
he niece OF an old sailor named Skin
ner, has gone TO the bad, having secret
ly become Sweetman's mistress. Sne
comes to her native place and meets
him; and 1t transpires that she has met
Wide In London, and has made ad-
vances which have been rejected.
The insult rankles; and she
is ready to revenge herself
upon the young engineer. 30 she acca-
ses him before Raybolt Wylde denies
the charge; and Minnie, TO prove her
confidence in him proposes TO marry
him. In the second act Wylde Is living
In poverty In London, having completed
the model Of q machine which is 20 max
his fortune. Sweetman and his pal"
Isaac Hart, obtain admission TO Wylde's
rooms In his absence, aud Swestman
takes down from the wall the plan or
the machine and throws the working
model out OF the window. Minnie Is
fond of taking 'snap shots with q "ko-
dak," aud before the visit OF the villains
she has photographed both plans and
model. When Raybolt arrives TO nego-
tiste for the purchase OF the invention,
Wylde discovers his losses. A "slayey'
named Bobtali, who had collected the
fragments OF the model In the court be-
low, comes In with them In her apron;
and Minnie adds TO the evidence by
prod ucing her negatives from her 'ko-
dak.r However, Sweetman succeeds 10
~patenting the invention In his W name,
and reaps all the benefit. Rayoolt goes
on a yachting trip for his health, AK
ing with him his daughter, Sweetnan
and Hart, and also Wylde, disguised
with a beard, and shipped as an able
seaman. Minnie, Skinner and the en-
rineer ''corner" corner the villain, aud.
by threats Of punishment with q ropes
end, force him TO sign a paper confess
ing that he stole Wylde's Invention.
By blunder Of Hart, Raybolt learns
that Sweetman has been rObbipg him,
gets into a terrible state OF excitement,
ana so threatens Sweetman that he
chokes the old fellow with his "
necktie. The ~scouBdrel then accuses
WyIde OF committing the murder. but q
cabin boy named Tagrag, who has been
up aloft doing something TO a Union
Jack, which is "half-mast high" peeps
out from it's folds and spoils Sweetman's
game by a denunciation. In the last
act Sweetman and Hart come to Ray
bolts house at S~andgate to rob his safe

incautiously "let out" before his death.

AN IMPENDING REVIVAL.

Among all the old horrors that are be-
ing revived and forced upon US there Is
a threat Of the lace mitts that were
worn years ago. II you have a pair, and
il you have very delicate and beautiful
hands, you may welcome the fashion.
But most of US can only lift up our
voices and protest. Lace mitts will cost
much more than kid gloves. and they
make the average hand look dreadful.
At q little distance they make the skin
seem tatooed. They wear out, they
neither protect nor beautify the hand,
and they simyly won't stay up" unless
rubber bands are let in at regular inter-
walls from the wrist as far up as the mitt
goes. This stops the circulation and
even the beautiful white hand gets ugly
and red, while the one started so gets
puffy, too. When the horrid things are
taken of, the wrists are left disfgured
by the red marks fran the bands.
II black lace mitts come in, there will
be white lace ones for evening. Women
with beautiful hands and arms will force

she Is IN love with him.
Then he discovers that she hss used
all her little capital to pay out the as
tress for rent. So they are very un-
happy together, and she Is weeping at
his feet when Laura arrives In search
OF her laggard lover. or course, she
guesses the truth quickly, and after ..
pretty display Of scorn and anger
leaves the studio. 1t may be presumed
that Gerald and Alice lived happy
ever after. The play is Of German
origin. Adolf Willbrandt wrote 1t and
Brandon Thomas adapted IL. To the

voted to their work and fonder Of bust

said that women were more honorable
than men, less addicted to breaking the

The reason for this has been various
" given that girls had less nerve than
men, were more fearful OF results be-
cause women are more severely punish

been suggested by young men that wO-

THE JAG CURE" LAW.

What the Detroit journal Says OF the
Matter.
Speaking of the so-called jag bill, "
which recently became law in Michi-
gan, the Journal says
One obie ction is tnatt the law assumes
that drunkenness is both a crime and a
disease. We'll, what of it? Every body
knows that in either event it is the
cause of many crimes, and is at least a
vice in itself If treating it as dis
ease checks its crimes then let the state
treat it as disease, if it can.
Another objection is that if the state
has a right to cure the disease OF
drunkenness, then it should cure rheu-
matism and the ague, This Is silly
When rheumatism and ague are the
cause of murder, riot, violence, wife
beating, theft to say nothing OF the
poverty and misery caused by drunk
enness, then the state should set TO
work to cure rheumatism and ague
also.
The success of the law, however,
will depend upon two things: The per,
centage of drunkards that will avail
themselves of it. and the percentage OF
permanent cures among those who con-
sent. 1t is to be hoped for the sake OF
the community that it will accomplish
all it's promoters and supporters have
claimed for it. If So the opposition to
it will be as feeble practically as 1t
now is theoretically.

jeff Chrisman. who for several years
has resided in Bolivar county, por-
ton of which time he has served as
j. p, has been indicted in the U. S.
Court, with Postmaster Gray, of Cieve-
land, on the charge of forgery. The
facts of the case, as we learn, are that
the postmaster, in making up his
bond, was authorized by letter by
three different persons to aftix their
names to it, He carried the letters to
Justice Chrisman to have the names
certified to the bond, but Mr.. Chris
man put him off until he had person
ally seen two of the parties and been
told it was all right. Failing after
making an effort, to see the third par
ty, he at length agreed to accept his
signature by proxy, as authorized in
the letter, and officially certified to
the proper signing of the bond. 1t is
now claimed by the parties who re-
ported the case that the third man
whose name was signed, did not au-
thorize his name used. The postoffice
was robbed after the bond was made
and the letters, with many others, sto-
len or destroyed. The informality of
the signing is admitted by both of the
accused. but all criminal intent is de-
MED and it is insisted that the irregu-
larity was purely technical, which all
unprejudiced persons who know jeff
Chrisman will believe. The case has
been continued until next term.

Mill east of Wesson, left Wesson afoot
early one morning to come to Brook
haven to attend to some homestead
land business with the Chancery
Clerk, expecting to get through and

He has not been seen or heard of since.
Suspecting foul play on account OF
his having SO or so on his person
and the fact that number of mysteri-
Gus murders have occurred near Mont

has been made for traces of him by
officers and friends, but in vain. The

The Prohibitionists of Pennsylvania
are never afraid to fling their banner
to the breeze. They are the first in the
field with state ticket this year, and
under the provisions of the amended
ballot law, passed in the closing hours
of the legislative session, will be re-
cognized as a political party again. Mr..
II. r. Ames, of Lycoming, and James
Kent of Delaware county, tho respec-
tive candidates for Supreme Judge and
State Treasurer, are very worthy gen
tlemen, who would do credit to the re-
sponsible positions for which they are
candidates if elected. In this respect
they are regulation candidates, for the
Prohi bition party of Pennsylvania
Away. dominates good candidates. Its
chief shortening is that it never elects
them.
