A Belated Repast.

''have you anything to eat?"
"Nuthin but 'possum.

stage Fright.

Nervous prostration among actors
and actresses is commonly accom-.
panied by stage fright. Men and
women long accustomed to face the
public find themselves suddenly seized
with nervous fear even at the thought
of rehearsal. Bicycling, as a pleas.
ant and easy mode of exercise, has
been recommended in such cases, and
an actress who confessed that she
rose one morning with dread of the
afternoon rehearsal declared that after
two hours in the open air with aer
bicycle every trace OF stage fright had
disappeared.

The Royai SnuI,.

The royal snub is of all snubs tho
most brutal and at the same time the
most effective, unless it is the papal
snub. That Henry of Germany who
stood three days barefoot in the snow
at Gregory's castle gate after seeking
him as suppliant on foot over the
dangerous, snowy mountain route,
doubtless felt the force of a snub more
fully than any. unless it were some of
Henry Ills victims. The Tudor dy-
nasty especially excelled in the art OF
s1ubbing, and it is difficult TO de-
ternlifle whether bluff Hal or his ac-
complished. intellectual, but withal
somewhat coarse daughter excelled in
snubbing those who, desirous OF sum
ming themselves in the royal favor.
were forced to accept all royal insults
as excellent jests.-Kate NJ. Rabb in
Lippincott's.

They just have one little spat, and af-

Easterner-That's remarkable. How

MEXICO AND GUATEMALA.
Ei Particle Comments Upon the Reis tions of the Two Nations

dohs of the TWO NAttOnk.
 CrTY OF MEXICO, Oct. 6.-El Partido, a liberal semiofficial journal, comments as follows on the relation between Mex ico and Guatemala:
 Guatemala cannot do us harm. She lacks the necessary elements for war, and the result of war would be disaster ous to her. But we must be on tho alert, not for fear, which would be chimeri- cal but to avoid the expenses, perturba- tions and effusion of blood. Central America, at this moment, is worse pre- pared than ever for war. The tortuous, petty, greedy and tyranicsl character of rulers has reduced it to the worst condi- tion. Some of those countries are justi- flying the defamatory phrase of an elo- quent Mexican orator, who characterised them as 'Hordes of Democratic Kaf- frs" For this reason certain American statesmen have expressed a wish that Mexico should assume protectorate over all Central America to maintain the public peace. This idea is repug- nant to us. :"
 El Partido quotes approvingly the ideas advanced by The Mexican Finan- cier of this city, which said recently;
 '.The Monroe doctrine should be adopted by all the nations on this hemis- phere IS the moving principle, America for Americans; that is, the United States for North Americans. Mexico for Mexican-Americans and South America for it's own people; 1t being distinctly understood that tho United States agrees, if it must absorb new territory, to go either to the north or to the islands of the ocean"
 El Partido asserts that the govern ment is giving study to railway schemes for placing the frontier in communica- ton with the national capital, the City of Mexico.

SUIT AGAINST DALY.

He Is Arraigned For Violating the
 Alien Contract Labor Law.
 NEw YORK, Oct. 6.-United States Commissioner Alexander Thursday heard the suit brought against Angus tine Daly. The suit is brought to re- cover $1ooO penalty for alleged violation of the alien contract labor law in bring ing to this country Henry W. Elliott as property man.
 Elliott came to the United States from Augustine Daly's theater in London. where he had been employed. Secretary Carlisle, to whom Elliott appealed after his deportation, was ordered back by the immigration commissioner, who de- cided that he must return to England
 Elliott was called as witness by As sistant United States Attorney Parker for the prosecution. Elliott testified that he was in this city year in 1889 as property man for Robert Mansfield His engagement in Daly's theater in London terminated in July, but he remained at tached to the theater until he sailed for America. In England he was paid $i5 week, in New York S30. He denied that he was engaged in London. All that Mir. Daly said to him there was that he would try to place him to the best of his ability if hs should come to New York. On arriving here the witness went to Mfr. Dsly's theater and had his baggage sent there. He applied for work and in a day or two afterwards was employed.
 After Elliott had made his direct deposition he was again called. The l fact was brought out that Elliott had studied paints and other arts, which l somewhat fitted him to be called scenic artist. Elliott said that he had borrowed money from MT. Daly and that he went to work for him because he knew no ore else.
 The civil suit against Mr. Daly will be tried in the United States circuit

HOWEVER unsatisfactory the nomi. nation Of Senator Hill for Governor of New York may be in some re- spects, we can have little sympathy with the movement headed by ex- Secratary FairchiId and other pur- ported friends of Mir. Cleveland to nominate an Independent ticket. What private griefs they have we know not, but that the Democracy of the country are heartily fatigued in regard to their disorganizing work, we feel sure. These same in triguers were heavily set down upon at the Chicago convention, and ought to have learned something therefrom.
