Fiat Money.

A great deal of CAB is employed about
fiat" money. AS fact there is no
other kind of money in the world-and
in the nature of things cannot be. We
hear a great deal about the Suspension
of silver coinage in India, but the ac-
ton taken is only fiat" by law that
the rupee shall rate at lG pence or
32 cents of our money. And so it goes
all the world over-with gold as with
ANYTHING else. The law of England
says so many grains of gold shall be a
pound in money. II the law were
changed tomorrow, increasing or de-
.creasing the number of grains, that
would be- n pound-ih both eases by the
'.fiat'' of the law. And when gold runs
out in supply. what do they do? Sim
plyii paper saying on its face in

this is money for pound. When gold
fails in supply, money to take its place
is made that way. And in no othes

proceeded to say so many really unktnd
and irrelevant things that Mrs Kendall for
got herself to the extent of replying in
sarcastic manner to these unreasouableand
in many respects impertinent and indeli-
cate structures.
So much has been said about Mrs Ken
dal as a mother that the general reading
public, and especially the female portion
thereof, may be interested to know some
thing of her family.
There are five children, and, as usual, the
females are in the majority. The eldest
child is a grown woman, Miss Margaret,
aged 90, who is the head Of the family
while her mother is away on her theatrical
tours, and who is an eminently practical
girl. She is of the stately English type Of
| beauty, and for the benefit of the young
ladies who may read this it should be
stated that she has no intention of adopt
| ing the stage as a profession, nor has she
| yet found the man to whom she is willing
/ to intrust her happiness for life,
The second child is a boy, DOrringtOn, a
manly and strapping fellow Of 49, who is
| being educated fog the army. He is very
| bright at his studies, and is enthusiastic as
/ can be whenever the subject OF military
| life is broached.
The musical member Of the Kendall fam
lily is Miss Ethel, "a very beautiful girl Of
II, who it is said, gives promise of becom-
ing some day one of the worlds great sing
ers She is now in Paris, where her parents
have placed her in the personal care of the
celebrated Nine NiardOt Garcia who was a
fellow pupil of Jenny Lind.
Whatever money and education can ac-
complish Miss Ethel win have. She is a
particularly close and conscientious stu
dent, and is wrapped up in her art Her
teacher, who is very fond of her predicts
great things for her young charge.
Harold is a fine boy Of l6, strikingly like
his father in facial appearance. He is at
present at Marlborough college, London.
He will probably adopt a profession, though
! just which one has not yet been decided,
though it will not be the stage,
The baby is Dorothy, aged l2, who is now
receiving first class education at Queens
| college, Harley street, London. Naturally
she is the pet of the family, as the young
est child generally is.
When Mr.. and Mrs Kendall are in Lon
don, they invariably have all Of their chill
dren there with them. They are essentially
home bodies, and are never so happy as
when surrounded by their interesting fam
lily at their charming house at u Portland
place
1t might interest many persons TO know
how Mr.. and Mrs Kendall became stars,
and joint stars at that. The lady comes of
the celebrated Robertson family, famous in
the annals of the ESlish stage 1t was
therefore not surprising thaU she should
have sought aud obtained a position at the
then celebrated Haymarket theater under
the management of John Baldwin Buck

This was the first company in England

The comedian didn't mean this exactly.

win a nice little sum when the silver gig

He dreamed two weeks ago." said the
actor, "that he met his two brothers com

them to a policy shop after which the trio
adjourned to a restaurant and had a small
banquet That gave him four gigs to play;
the brother zig, the policy gig the eating
gig and the washing gig. He put down the
numbers for me, and | played them for a
quarter each every day. Well, one day |
was a quarter short and dropped out the

He soon learns, however, that Miss Armi-
tage is in love with the young artist, but
this knowledge does not deter him in the
slightest, and he therefore decides that his
best plan will be to get his rival out of the

to send him to Italy. Naturally the artist
accepts this apparently disiuterested offer,

There are a number Of actors in this city
who play policy, and most of them have
their pennies on the silver gig. When

is an old adage about a fool and bis money

actors with as much force as to poor hotel

The title of the play, "The Younger
Son." is a key to its theme, which is n
mothers love and devotion to her children.
1t is in four acts and possesses unusual To-
cal interest, inasmuch as every scene is laid
| in New York city
The story is quite interesting. The hero
the younger son, impersonated by Henry
! Miller, is an ambitious artist, whose path
way is not entirely strewn with roses by
any means He is in love with a particu-
larly attractive girl, Nell Armitage, an or
| phau Miss Viola Allen, for whose sake he
| longs to become famous, so that he may
ask her to share his lot in life AS a means
! to an end he paints her portrait and sends
| It to an art exhibition. The picture finds a
ready purchaser but it is not so much of a
recognition of the young artists ability as
might be imagined, for the man who
bought the painting secured it not on ac-
count of its art qualities, but because he
has suddenly become infatuated with the
original.

the company whom he had never met, ask

performance. He said that if she agreed
he'd meet her with a cab. She showed the
letter around intending to not answer it.
But taking my advice she accepted the in
vitation and wrote him to be in the cab nt
