remark that it needed palette of earths

pear to look upon the visitors AS intruders
Now and then there is soothing at the fine
raimcnt of the actresses or Sucering at the
lordly posings Of the actors. But, as n gen
eral thing, the people quickly grow accus-
toned to the annual visitation of the play
ers and pay no more than passing atten-
tion to their coming and going. On the
east side OF New York, in a down town
street, there is n building full OF halls and
rooms of various dimensions, shapes and
grades of cleanliness that could tell an in
teresting and widely varied story if the
walls had ears-and tongues. On the day
before election, for instance, there issued
from this building combination of sounds
which might have struck passing stranger
as being simultaneously possible in Be,llam
alone.
Brass bands of differing dimensions and
qualities of iniquity emerged from some of
the rooms. heading professions carrying
banners. From other apartments issued
the curses of angry fathers, the lurid YER
biagc of stage villains, the shrill songs of
soubrettes and the walls of oppressed hero
ines. In one of the rooms, where an limo
cent musical comedy of extreme elegance
was progressing, a plaster bust of Louis
Ling Gazed partly out from glass case.
In another hall there was the revel of
singing, dancing and the waving of silken
skirts, while against the wall was suspend
ed the blue and gold banner of n harness
makers union. Away up stairs in a low
studded room. where the wall paper hung
in shre,ls and documents of the kind that
fills the turbulent if somewhat gaseous soul
of John Most with untold joy were scat
tered over the floor, n farce comedy organ
izaeon was engaged in an energetic search
for opportunities to introduce 'specialties"
at the expense Of the author.
In the many rooms of this building all
sorts and conditions of stage productions
have been rehearsed over and over again
for years. Here the monarchs of the spec
tacular world have prepared their most in
tricate marches, the directors of melodra-
matte plays have heard the echoes of the
building tremble with their blood curdline
complications. the farceurs have evolved
their greatest burst of humor, and the ira
gedians have roared forth their declama
tons at the loudest pitch. Some of the
apartments have old fashioned pianos in
them, and here the merry soubrette capers
to tunes played by elderly fat ladies of the
bombazine description, the chorus girl re
luctantly permits the stage managers ideas
to dawn upon her mind, and the inscruta

Miss Grants features are familiar to
many Europeans and Americans through
Hubert Herkomers famous portrait of
her, which took prize at Munich and
was exhibited in the English gallery Mt
the Columbian exposition. The peculiar
shade of the gown and gloves in this
painting is said TO have been responsible
for the fashionable fad known in Eng
land as 1.-THE soiled glove craze"
The announcement of her approaching
marriage has recalled recollections of
Miss Grants engagement several years
ago to the late Earl of Cairns and the
unpleasant notoriety caused by the dis
graceful conduct of that titled cad, who
not only had n shameful ENHANCEMENT
with pretty actress, Miss Fortescue,
but permitted his jewellers to send to
Miss Grants family their bill for his
wedding present. The invitations for
the wedding were out, but they We're re-
called, and Miss Grant during the fol-
lowing London season appeared in soci-
ETY. in the gowns prepared for her trous-
seau.
The Earl of Essex, who is a strikingly
attractive man, is sc years old and a
widower. His family is not connected
with the Essex of Elizabeth's time but
is of considerable antiquity, having been
founded by Sir William Capell, lord

seat at Cassioburg, Watford, Herts, is
one of the show places in eastern Eng

WEARING THE TARTAN AND PLAID.
An Interesting Phase of Scottish Chara'
ter brought Out In Debate.

An Interesting Phase of Scottish Charac-
ter Brought Out In Debate.
There was an interesting debate in the
English house of commons few days
ago touching what is probably, next to
the Roman toga, the most famous article
of clothing that has ever l,cn worn 10y
man. 1t arose out of a plan to c"ns"li-
date the killed regiment known aS the
Seventy ninth or 'Cameronian High
landers" with the Scots Grcualier
Guards, regiment which has nothing
Scotch about it beyond the fact that Scott
was the name gifts first colonel.
This plan was no sooner nciS,d abroad
than it excited in Scotland the deepest
Indignation, being considered deliberate
attempt to blot from existence one Of the
renowned highland regiments which in
kilt and tartan have, under the Brit
ish flag, filed the world with Scottish
glory. It is now nearly century and !
half since these regiments were raised,
and for fully century they were, II not
highland. really Scotch regiments. As
the supply of real highlandrrs began 10
run low, either through emigration or
dislike of soldering. the lowlanders Is
gan TO feel themselves highlander~ under
the magic influence of SCOTS novels.
Those only who remember the account
which Macaulay gives of the loathing
with which the lowland Scotch i'll the
eighteenth century looked ON the high
land garb and highland manners and
customs will be able TO appreciate the
force of the spell by which Scott succeed
cd, early in the nineteenth century. in
disposing nearly every Scotchman to the
notion that the kilt, the tartan. the phila-
beg and blue bonnet We're his original
national raiment, in which he looked his
best and which nothing hut the advance
of a gross and material civilization COM
pelled him to lay aside.
The fancy for the highlands with
which Victoria and Prince Albert were
seized in their early married life com
pleted the conquest which the Wizard of
the North had begun and converted
nearly all male Scots into true high
landers to whom trousers or "breeKs
were genuine incumbrance. Every
man who came near Balmoral castle or
aspired TO deer stalking, grouse shooting
and salmon killing, put ON the kilt and
tried to get his legs Drowned, As the only
costume for persona grata- The queen
was SO taken with the dress that she even
insisted on putting her German sons-ln-
law and grandsons-in-law into II III the
summer anil autumn, regardless OF the
danger to their hochgeboren knees.
But most of the kilt wearers nowadays
are gamekecpers. gilhes, guides and tour
list touters generally. Mr.. Campbell
Zimmerman, the English war secretary,
himself Scotchman, speaking on the
question of tine Cameronian Highlanders
in the house of commons the other day
said, An honorable and gallant gentle
man, Scotchman and a member of a
great clan family, speaking or this sub
ject 10 years ago, said that for his part
he had never yet seen in Scotland a
Scotchman wearing kilt unless he was
paid TO do so by an Englishman. Ma

Probably the sternest patience is dis
played by the sculptor or the painter
who will spend months and years in ma
terializing conception. There is no
doubt more of patience displayed by the
Caucasians, speaking numerically, than
any other race, but maintain that it is
a gift of nature and just as like to come
to dog as TO a man, only the dog would
not have sense enough to use it as effect
lively as men would. Ihave seen great
deal of this quality of nature displayed
by savages, such as the negroeSof Africa
and the Indians of America. We all ad-
mire the armor of the old English
knights and the wonderfully intricate
workmanship displayed upon many of
them, but l have seen Indian war COS
TUNES that would make the eye of the
seeker after curiosities and rarities SIM
ply blind. The whole is intricate and
interesting to look at, but closer inspec-
tion will invariably show almost endless
work-labor of years to make it look
beautiful. Some of the negroes of the
south have fishing rods and tackle that
are marvels of delicate hand workman
ship, so much so that there is nothing
like them to be had in the market for
money. All this, however, is only ac-
complished by almost supreme patience.

Boarding house landladies OF the better

spare a few hours from their everyday avo-
cations, are peculiarly susceptible to the in
ducements offered by the bucket shop.
At 10 O'Clock they assemble in the stuffy,

A NEW A0JuTANT GENERAL.

The Record of General RuEGIes, Who sue
ceeds General Williams. Retired.
An old soldier with Il creditable record
is George D. Ruggles. colonel and brevet
brigadier general, who was recently APP
pointed adjutant general of the army on
the retirement for age of General Robert
Williams. General Ruggles is native
of Newburg. n. Y, and was graduated
from the Military academy at West
Point in 1855 and commissioned second
lieutenant of infantry the same year
His first duty was at frontier posts in
Minnesota, Dakota and Nebraska, among
the Chippewa and Sioux Indians, and in
1858 he was acting adjutant general of
the department of the west.
General Ruggles' war service began as
acting adjutant general of brigade I'M

1852 he was on duty in the Office of the
adjutant general in the war department,
