Dolly, in obedience to her mothers
whisper, made her best courtesy to
them, and one lady went so far as to
throw to her q beautiful bunch of
roses.
Next morning at breakfast Dolly's
father read to her mother from the
newspaper:
Toward the close of the third act one began
to fear falling off in the interest. The end
seemed so certain. But the author had a sur
prise in store for us. Just as the unhappy wo-
man, seeing no alternative to Scylla but Cha
rybdis, raises the poison to her lips the little
child, of whom she is always thinking, silently
enters. A tiny hand arrests the fatal draft.
There is n haven-the love of her child. The
petrifed, wondering gaze of the woman, baked
of her own destruction by the one angel of her
life, was well studied and well merited tri-
umph of art. The curtain descended amid
thunder of applause We are at some loss to
imagine why the little child, who so artlessly
yet effectively performed her small but i'm
portant part, was not included on the pro-

Dolly hesitated whether she should
open the door or wait till her mother
came through it. Once again she
heard the rattle of the tin tray. And
then she heard her mother crying
dreadfully and saying:
''How the thunder pealsl How the

this little draft which will bear my
soul afar. 1t must be so. 1t must

Very quietly Dolly opened the door,
There was a rustic among the people.
Her mother was sitting before them
all at q table.
She held in her hand a tumbler
half filled with water. Then she
took up a tiny little bottle-one of
those green bottles Dolly had been
warned never to touch-that held
laudanum and other dreadful things.
1.-THE storm will soon be over"
Dolly's mother said as once more
the big tray ratified. 1.-THE storm
without may rage: the storm within
will soon have ceased. Husband,

Very softly Dolly, with big lump
in her throat and her eyes fixed on
her mother, stepped tiptoe toward
her; then Selling the wrist of the
hand that held the bottle she drew
it down, and kneeling at her moth
er's feet sank her head in her moth
er's lap and cried.
Somebody behind shouted, "Ring

scended, dividing Dolly and her
mother from the people. Then lot
of folks rushed round them, Dolly's
father and the disagreeable gentle

her father, for the first time in his

gazed at her with with the petrified

expectedly, found her pacing up
and down before the mirror, talk
ing very wildly, throwing her arms
about and at times crying. One day
Dolly heard her saying to herself
aloud, "Oh, it is hard to tear myself
away from my little ones!" though
when she saw her little girl she, SO
far from endeavoring to tear herself
away, took her on her knee and
promised her rice pudding for din
ner if she wouldn't practice her
scales until papa had finished writ
ing.
Once again, too, she heard her
mother tell Aunt Kitty that she
would be glad to get back to the
boards, which made Dolly wonder if
her mamma contemplated turning
herself into sandwich lady, though
she had never heard of her being
connected with that profession.
Now, Dolly was of an inquiring
turn of mind, and though her pas
sion for investigation was not al
ways encouraged by those about her
she determined at all hazards to
solve the mystery of her parents al
tered demeanor, their preoccupied
manner, those consultations which
continued in whispers or enigmatical
sentences when she appeared and
their frequent and unexplained alb
sences from home.
One day, having been out all the
forenoon, after dinner they departed
in hanson. They little knew that
a tiny form in long nightdress was
peeping through the half opened
window as they departed that the
little one heard the direction to the
cabman. 1.-THE Corinthian theater-
sharpr'
They were going to the theater, to
that wonderful place they were al
ways talking about with which they
were somehow connected.
In few minutes Dolly had changed
her nightgown for her frock, her
warm hood, her cape and hat and
had stolen very quietly out of the
street door.
After walking long way and ask
ing a number of policemen, who for
some reason laughed as they direct
ed her, Dolly arrived at vast build
ing like a palace, with lot of beau
tiful lamps in front, line Of car
riages outside, and a number of tall
gentlemen in uniform opening the
carriage doors.
She felt she dared not go in that
way-perhaps there was another
way in. She turned down side
street and saw a huge crowd at an
other door, but gave up all hope of
entering there, until suddenly the
door opened, and in about 10 min
utes the crowd had entered.
Then Dolly crept up some stairs
and said to a gentleman who stood
at sort of turnstile that didn't turn:

LIFE WAS A BLANK.

Miss Moreland was only z, but she
had discovered life was a blank.
Her father and mother, true, did
not ignore her existence, but the
happy days when they ignored
everything else had been merged
into the past.
Her father had become of late al
most invisible to her for days and
days. And his manner was so strange.
True, morning and night he would
kiss her and assure her that she
would be his ducky diamond for
ever and ever, but If she happened
to upset the fireirons or play at skip
ping rope in the hall or roll her mail
cart down the stairs he would dash
out of his study with his hands
clutching his hair and speak quite
angrily.
Sometimes, too, he would start up
from the breakfast table saying he
had got a situation, then rush off to
his study and perhaps not return till
she had gone out for her morning
walk with Jane.
What mystified Dorothy all the
more was that her mother didn't
seem to be disturbed in the least by
her fathers eccentricity, except oc-
casionally when Doddleums, who
was cutting another tooth, was more
than usually fractions, then, when
her father ventured to designate
Doddleums a signalling, nerve an
initiating brat" her mother would
say reproachfully:
''Oh, George; the little pet can't
help it. Now, Dolly, dear, don't cry;
YOUR father didn't mean it."

about her mother. frequently Dol.

Fortunately Dolly had in her peck

Oiven her that very morning. so after

rather pleased at finding that she can
stir her careless lord to frantic jealousy.
If she persists and from the mere love Of
power goads and leases him too far, he
may break loose from those bonds of
morality which every decent man as
Sumes with his marriage VOWS and go
to the bad generally, revenging himself
upon his giddy wife by Haunting before
her face rivals whose very rivalry is a
degradation to her.
Or perhaps her foible is an inordinate
precision. Her home is like nunnery.
Her own apartments are like those of an
old maid. She cannot have smoking
anywhere in the house because it scents
the walls and furniture. She cannot
have newspapers or paper novels thrown
about on chairs and tables. If the hus-
band, manlike, pushes the furniture this
way and that, throws open window
and rudely twists the lace draperies like
rope to keep them out of the way, the
precise woman replaces everything the
moment his hand leaves it-perhaps
silently and with long suffering air of
patient martyrdom, perhaps with a cold
and formal request that Mr.. So-and-so
will not turn her parlors into caucus
room or worse.
The precise woman carries her preci-
sion further than the furniture. Her hus-
band, coming home from his all day asso-
citation with men, tells his wife what he
thinks good story or funny jest or
tells what some man has told him about
some other man. The precise woman is
shocked. Perhaps she ought to be
shocked; perhaps she ought to make her
husband feel that he has come home to
a purer and more refined atmosphere
than he has been breathing through the
day, but her foible Of precision comes in
to aggravate his vice of coarseness, and
she rebukes him in cold and bitter
! fashion that only disgusts and annoys
him, instead of acknowledging the fun
and then gently and deftly suggesting
that it might have been more delicately
put; or else by certain surprised and
panied look and a softly breathed ooh,
Ned!" or perhaps with a caress and a
whispered word like 'Oh, darling, don't;
please don't"-in one of these ways or in
some similar fashion sweet, natural
woman will soon make her husband
ashamed of being coarse, at least in her
presence, and she will have helped in
stead of hindering him.
But just so sure as coarsely genial
man marries a precise and intolerant
woman, just so sure is she to drive him
from home and from her presence. He
may not become unfaithful, as the hus-
band Of the flirt does, but he seeks in his
hours of leisure the society of other men
or Of women who, as he puts it, "don't
care what you say to them" Or he
lounges behind the scenes of the theater,
or in the stables, or at social assemblages
far below his own level, anywhere, in
fact, that he can feel free and untram-
| meled.

How to Freeze Cream. Ices. Etc.

Mix broken ice and coarse salt, or use
snow instead of ice if possible. Put into
q tub which has holes at the bottom for
draining, and put blanket around the
cylinder or churn at the top to prevent
the air from melting the ice too fast.
Place the churn first in the tub, then fill
with the broken ice freely mixed with
salt. AS the water is drawn off from the
bottom, fill up with ice and salt.

MArRE nIsAPPoINIEp.

The Ohio Republican campaign mana
gers have all along been sounding the
cry Of lone hundred thousand for Nc
kinney" aud a desperate attempt has
been made TO brighten the people Of the
State by picturing in vivid coors the
depressed condition of BUSINESS and
LAYING il at the door of the Democratic
party. But the people of Ohio are
doing some thinking on their own &C
count and have not stampeded TO
the Mckinney standard in the num-
bers expected, and the managers are
fearful OF the result. The American
Protective Tariff League, with branches
in Ohio and other States, but head
quarters in New York, has issued cir
cuIar 10 the faithful, in which is used
the significant language, 1--WE fear you
will be disappointed After speaking
of the charge that Republican manu-
facturers were keeping their factories
shut down for political advantage and
effect, the circular says:
eve wish you would so to every manu-
facturer in your community who is shut
down and ask him 10 write short, en-
phatic denial Of the charge and have the
same printed in your local paper at the first
opportunity. When printed, kindly send a
marked copy.
1--WE fee. that YOU (the supporters Of pro-
tection) are overestimating your strength
for the coming election. We fear that you
viii be disappointed.
No organization in the country is so
deeply interested in high protection as
the American Protective Tariff League,
and no set of men have watched the
Ohio campaign so carefully. The de-
claratlon from such a source that the
Republicans have oyerestimated their
strength and will be disappointed, is at
least significant.

A RECEIVER FOR THE UNITED PRESS.
The Detroit "News" Alleges that there
has been n Gross Fraud Perpetrated
Upon the Original Snare Holders.


The Detroit "News" AllegeS that there
has been n Gross Fraud Perpetrated
Upon the Original Snare Holders.
NEW YORK, October 24.-Suit was
brought in the New York Supreme
Court to-day against the United Press
for the appointment Of receiver and
an accounting. The action runs against
the United Press, Charles A. Dana,
VIM. NJ. Laffan. John r. Walsh, wal
ter P. Phillips and half dozen other
directors. The complainant is the Eve
ming News Association, OF Detroit,
Michigan.
1t is charged that the United Press
was organized under the laws OF New
York in 1888, and was reorganlzed In
1884. The complainant held I'VE shares
of the founders stock. For some years
all went well, but some time about the
close Of 1887 the officers formed syndl-
cate among themselves for the organiza-
ton of q new company under the laws OF
Illinois TO take the business OF gath
ering and collecting news on the hands
of the original company. The original
company had capital stock OF so, QUO,
but the new company is capitalized Tor
fifty times as much, that is, Sl,0OO,O 600
On this basis some of the stockholders
OF the New York company were per-
mitted to exchange their shares In that
company for the new issue by the Hi
nois company, receiving nifty shares
OF the new stock for every
share they held Of the old.
This deal completed, a contract
was drawn up between the old company
and the new, whereby the million dol
lar corporation undertook TO take
charge OF the news business and guar
anteed an annual dividend of SIX per
cent. to the twenty thousand dollar
company. 1t proved profitable deal
for the favored stockholders who were
accorded the privilege of exchange
of stock, for the new company
began forthwith 20 pay annual divi-
dends Of four per cent, showing that
the same business would have yielded
two hundred per cent dividends to the
stockholders Of the old. The stock
holders Of the New York company
who were not given chance TO go into
the Illinois company were soon startled
TO ma tQat lot RudIduLeo VI slA POI
cent. they had given away two hundred
per cent.
For two years past no dividends have
been paid, but the complainant in the
suit instituted to-day expects to estab-
lish the fact that the stockholders OF
the United Press Of New York were de-
frauded out of a considerable profit
during the four or five years
when the United Press Of Illinois
was making money. There are
also certain valuable telegraph con-
tracts which the complainant maintains
should be used for the benefit OF the
New York company alone, and an effort
will be made TO prevent what is claimed
unlawful and fraudulent use OF these
by the Illinois company.
