A Great Succeess

ACROSS the Potomac" is a great sue
cess at Proctor's Theatre. The dialogue
is terse and pointed, the action of the
play is swift, tho climaxes are strong
and skillfully developed and the char
acters arc animated by spirit Of patri-
otto fervor that pefvades the entire
play. Those merits alone arc sufficient
to insure success, but the triumphant
reception OF the play was made doubly
certain by the introduction of mechani
cal effects and devices which are won
derfully ingenious and novel, and bv
scenery which is surprisingly good
THO interest of the audience never
halts or hags, and is maintained to the
very end-the last act being one of tho
strongest in the play. Audiences have
been largo and enthusiastic, and the
authors of the play, Messrs. Pitou and
Alfriend. may be heartily congratulated
upon the success of their first play
written in collaboration. Now York

seIline CIoth.. 10 sailor,.

Ships arriving in home ports after
lengthy voyages are always besieged by
the runners or agents of the various sea-
mems outfitters of the place.
The competition Is so keen among
these people that they often undertake
to supply on credit a certain amount Of
clothing to the seamen, to be paid for on
the discharge Of the crew, which event
in some cases does not take place till a
few days after arrival. Should an out
filter succeed in effecting good sale on
these conditions, he arTanges for watch
to be kept upon the parties to whom he
has given credit, but Notwithstanding
this precaution he sometimes finds be-
fore pay day that his vigilance has been
outwitted by the vanishing prOpensities
of his slippery customers.
Without attempting to justify such
acts of dishonesty on the part of the sea
man, it must in fairness to him be stated
that mean advantage is often taken Of
his circumstances (such, for instance, as
arriving in port without presentable
clothing in which to go ashore) to charge
extortionate prices for the articles sup
piled under the foregoing conditions, and
that it is often alone the knowledge OF
this fact which suggests the attempt to
evade payment.-London Tit-Bits.
