AT THE THEATERS.
50 Jim the Penman Well Performed
at the Baldwin.

Jim the Penman" drew a large audience TO
the Baldwin, and a most appreciative one, last
night The Ilay. in all its details, was never
better presented than by the cast the A NJ
Palmer stock company gave it, OF a character
that demands the closest exposition of the diff.
ferent phases OF the authors work no fault
could be found with the manner in which The
different assignments were filled. Mr.. Wilton
LacKaye was quite up TO the requirements of
Mr.. Ra lston. one Of The most difficult eharac-
ters in The cast, because he lived double life
a scOuncrel in actually, respectable man in
seeming. Que Of the best scenes In the piece
Is where his wife drops on the fact
that he is a fOrger -" the 4" fOIger for
whom he whole commercial world is seeking
and at the same time one who by his devlish
art OF facile Denmanship, has destI Dyed her en-
tire life. We think that Miss Caroline HIN
made this scene more Impressive than did
Miss Jennie Eustace, but, nevertheless the
scene may be said TO play itself. 1t is, In its
quetude, tue most intense piece OF stage
business that can be imagined. Fawcetts
Baron Hartfeldt, the evil genius of RalstOn's
life, was quite equal 10 LIE Moyne in the same
character. In fact. II one who had seen and
heard lie Moyne III the same part closed his
eyes he would have imagined the latter great
actor was playing the part. 1t was fine Illus
tration OF The school Of all thoroughly good
actors. So was Hollands presentation OF the
part of Captain Redwood. the deteclve-clean,
clear. crisp, and altogether perfect. The other
characters were all III good place. If there be

Friday morning Jimmie Ton.kin

that the glass agate went through

May-Day Customs in Ancient

Harper's Weekly.
Early on May-day morning it
was the custom in Lincolnshire, up
to the middle of the present cen
tury. for the swains to place
branches of various trees at the
doors of the manageable young
women of the village. The twigs
all meant something, and were sup
posed to be emblrmatical Of the
character of the recipients, or of
the feelings OF the donors, somo-
times quite the reverse, wicken,
the local name for the mountain
ash. "sweet chicken" for instance,
oak, a "joke"; and plain ash signi-
fies "trash." This last, probably,
was usually anonymous.
In Huntingdonshire, about the
same period, doll ornamented
with bits of gay-ribbons and silks,
candlesticks, spoons, snuffers, and
the like, was suspended from a
rope stretched across the street on
the 1st of May. She was supposed
to represent Flora. She had at
tendants and garlands, and the at
tendants carried the garlands to
the Queen of the May herself. The

"Open the gate!" roars the
manager. "Look out, you boys!"
and with a mad rush, out flies the
colt through the open gate, like .
she'll from a howitzer. For twenty
yards he races at full speed, then
"propping" as if galvanized, shoots
upward with the true deer's leap,
all four feet in the air at once,

name,) and comes down with his
head between his fore legs and

Forian instant he stops; then

six or seven hundred people,

of this exercise suffice to exhaust

It is a species of "monkeying, a

ties q bag on to the back OF a

of his life, as if by monkey

and permits the rider to mount
and ride away with but little
resistance. Sometime, indeed, the
colt turns in his tracks, and being
unmanageable in his paroxoysms,

The Method of Exorcism:
RECOMMENDED FOR SAM TAYLOR.

The Nineteenth Century.
The process of exorcism was
truly a terrible ordeal. The patient
was made fast to chair-tied SO
tightly that she bore the marks for
years-and was compelled to swal-.
low "the whole POTION" a pint
sack, salad oil, rue, and other in
gradients. The demoniac's head
was then forcibly held over a dish
of burning birthstone, asafetida,
and "other stinking gear" Under
the effects Of the sickening draught,
the sitting fumigation, the loud
adjurations of the officiating
priests, and the cries of the ex-
cited bystanders, the patient strug-
gled and screamed, talked non-
sense, and frequently swooned
away.
The ritual used was most proba-
bly, that of the Flagellum Damo-
num, published by the Franciscan
Menghl in 1882. Mr.. Stamp one
day cried out to Sara's devil, "Ah.
Sirra! have whip in
my pocket that will bride thee,"
and drew out a book of eXorcisms.
In this book, and others Of the
kind gathered together in the IA
nous Malleus Malefcarum, will be
found receipts for the concoction
of number of suitable potions
and fumigations, with rubrics for
their administration. eff the devil
will not obey" says Menghl, stake
fire and sulphur and let the de-
moniac be fumigated, whether he
will or no, until he tells the truth
about all that you may be pleased
to ask" 1t is particularly directed
that the fumigation should be
maintained "for long time" and
the exercisism for two or three
hours together.
