a young man abused a minister to his
face, and reviled him in an unprece-
Gented manner. The minister pos
sessed his soul in patience, and spoke
mildly in reply, telling him the truth
pointedly, but yet in a very kind man.
ner. This only made him the more
angry and at length he went away in
a rage, declaring that he was not going
to stay and hear this vituperation, as
if it was the minister instead of HIM
self that had been scolding. The
sinner went away, but with the arrows
of the Almighty in his heart, and in
less than half hour he followed the
minister to his lodgings in intolerable
agony and begged forgiveness and
broke down before God, and yielded
up his heart to Christ. This calm and
mild manner was more overwhelming
to him than thousand arguments.
Now if this minister had been thrown
off his guard and answered harshly
no doubt he would have ruined the
soul of the young man. How many
of you have defeated every future effort
you may make with your impenitent
friends or neighbors in some such way
as this? On some occasion you have
showed yourself SO irascible that you
have sealed up your own lips and laid
a stumbling block over which that sin
ner will stumble into hell. II you

sleep till you have done all you can to
retrieve the mischief, till you have
confessed the sin and done everything
to counteraCt it as far as possible.

Wanted to See the aJook.r

One sweet little literary 'bud-a very
pretty girl, who sat behind me, superb
~ decollete-yery much so, In fact
voiced the sentiments OF the literary
assemblage. She said, in demure, al
most P~urItanlc, simplicity: '0h, pepper,
what an immense help 1t would have
been to this theatre IL they would just
have lured In that Spanish dock, who Is
now in town" And there you are.
There you have the true fragrance, the
real inwardness OF this wonderful insti-
tuition, the Theatre Of Arts and Letters.
No, fools. do not say that is the cream
OF s~nobbery, the essence OF par
yenu-ism. the double-distilled ether
Of McAllIster foppery; call 1t culture.
Do not cry out that these lo1-necked
peacocks know more about the vintage
OF q champagne than the quality OF
brains, or that they are more interested
In the cotillion than in the drama. IL Is
culture, with a great big c. The drama
and the plebs cannot live together. A
crowded house and an enthusiastic as
semblage. with a play that appeals to
the human heart, causing the tears 10
ooze and the laughter to spring, are yul-
gar. Popularity is pestilence. Culture
goes with the golden spoon and the
decollete bodice. The cheerful sound
Of applause must be deadened By heavy
kid gloves.-ALdn Dale In the Erening

Meaning OF the Name.

The title Of William Howarth's play,
"A Nutmeg Match" often causes con-
siderable speculation as TO It's meaning.
-Four "Bowery" swells were seen a
couple of weeks ago passing q billboard
announcement OF the play. when one OF
the party suddenly stopped, and jerked
his companions by the arm n said:
'Sai! OATS 4 new one on me. I've saw
sulphur matches and paroieen matches,
but / never heard Of the nutmeg be-
fore" One Of his companions gave
him q beautiful look Of plying con
tempt and said in a voice OF suppressed
scorn: "Iil take me oath but you're
q corker. Dat amt de name OF q
match. It's de name Of dat big block
on de pile driver what's about TO fall on
the blokee and looks like a nutmeg"
Snakes" said a third OF the party.
"a nutmeg is what obey put In pies
and Tom and ferries and cookies and !
guess obey have q match In a kitchen
to see who uses up de most nutmegs."
Come off," said the last Of the group.
"You blokees don't know what you're
givin' out. 1t means dat you can get dc
whole ting inside OF a nutmeg nut
she'll" Then they all went their way,
each one satisfied that be had given the
only correct solution to the difficult
problem. For their e~dlfcatloL IL may
be said that the title was suggested to
Mr.. Howarth from the Nutmeg State,
and means nothing more or less than
"a Wedding In Connecticut"

Utilizing the JohnuIes.

A way has at last been found to util.
ize the Johnnies who hang around
the stage doors in New York. No In
genuity could, OF course, provide berths
for all Of them, but some have been
used lately as ''cutters-out." This Is q
new profession. The duties OF the cut
ter-out are few, simple and agreeable.
He has merely to make love and to get
away. Thus, put a case that some ones
daughter, niece, or it may be, favorite
cousin, has become engaged to a man
who is not liked or approved Of by the
family. To resist her choice Is futile.
Opposition merely fans the flame OF
passion. So you send a note or tele-
gram to the central office OF the "Socie-
" for the Utilization of ~Johnnies," and
they despatch a cutter-out. lie Is
young, handsome, agreeable, perhaps a
foreign lord or an English honorable.
His duty may be explained In a word
he is TO cut out the young lady's az
fianced lover, to make her out OF con-
ceit with that dlsasreeable person, and
then TO retire gracefully, carrying with
him the respectful homage OF the family
whom he has rescued.

New YORK, April 22.-The only new
ness of the week is ''Giles Corey, Yeo-
man." presented by the company Of the
Theatre OF Arts and Letters at Palmer's
Theatre. 1t Is an adaptation made by
G.. w. Presbery of O published play by
Mary Z. Wilkins, the action taking
place during the days OF %witchcraft In
Salem. The plot concerns the family OF
Giles Corey. His family and daughter
are accused of connivance with the
devil. Absurd evidence is brought up
by the people Of Salem. The daughter
Is p~ardoned; the mother is hung; the
father is crused to death between stones
and behind the scenes. With such ma
terial it may be imagined the play
was, exceedingly gloomy, but 1t
was we'll acted by Miss Agnes Booth,
Ebel Plympton, and a capable cast, and
as nothing more will ever be heard OF
Giles and his cruel fate, the least said
the better.-Young Salvini was able to
appear at the Manhattan Opera House
on Monday and Tuesday in his revival
OF 1.-THE Three Guardsmen," but on
Wednesday it was thought that be was
sufficiently recovered from his throat
troubles. Fifteen hundred people were
turned away on Monday night. and all
but fifteen exchanged their tickets, in
stead Of asking for their money. This
Is a pretty good evidence Of the young
actors popularity and he is sure OF the
warmeSt kind OF a welcome. His New
York engagement has so lar been
very profitable and he stands to-day,
probably the best romantic actor on the
stage. At the Fifth Avenue Rose Cogh-
Ian renewed her old triumph as Peg
Wellington in Charles Reads comedy.
Her abundance of animal spirits COM
bines well with her finished art in the
portrayal OF the go~od-humored Peg,
and every phase OF the Characterization
is expressed fully and overwhelmingly.
The old musician and author, Triplet,
can never be quite saved from tedious
ness with an American audience, and
his abject humility is helplessly out OF
our sympathy, but Frederic Robinson
plays him correctly, carefully and with
all possible pathos. Marie Burgess, an
actress new 10 our stage, is a sweet and
gentle Mabel, John T. Sullivan a salts
factory Ernest and Courtney Thorpe an
artificial but correct Pomander.

Give Him a Bad Rep.

Henry R. Jewett, who has been en-
gagged for leading heavies by Julia
Marlowe, and will soon be seen in New
York. is an Australian actor who has
just closed his first American engage
ment at S~tockwelrs Theatre in San
Francisco. where he was unfortunately
selected for leading roles. After q
series of distinct failures he recently
distinguished himself by a performance
Of armand Durdi, that was universally
acknowledged by the critics TO be
simply unique in its wretchedness. The
Chronicle dismissed him by saying he
was Surprisingly bad" The Examiner
called him a dreadful armand" and
the other criticisms were equally Sc
we're. Mr.. Jewett, like many other in-
competent importatlons, abuses the
critics, threatens personal violence. and
gives as a reason for what he calls per-
secution, his omission to dine and wine
the representatives OF the press. From
all accounts, when Miss Marlowe has
witnessed one specimen OF his acting Ia
sentimental parts she will have had an
experience that she will not be likely TO
forget. .
