likely to receive one or the other OF the ap-
pontment-. Ellsworth democrats probably
would not be able to reconcile themseiye. 10

 In 1888 he became pastor of the Campbell Park Presbyterian church and soon became noted for bold and elo- quent preaching against the popular sins of the day. In 1890 he determined to investigate the evils of gambling. for which it was alleged that Chicago was the worst place in America. and with an efficient guide hevisited the principal dives in the city. Meanwhile the % called Civic federation was formed to war against the city's worst evils. and Mfr. Clark was made chairman of the subcommittee on gambling. He laid his plans like a general, employed four ca- pablo lawyers. neither of whom knew the others were employed. collected ann pie evidence with the aid of detectives. and then a general raid was made It was a brilliant succeSs. and ''card sharps" fled the city hy scores He declares that this is only beginning.

acteristic of the empire style now SC much in favor, the beds of the Napoleon era having been usually placed in the manner here shown, with one side to the wall. As will be seen, the curtain is made in one long strip and is thrown over two projecting poles fastened to the wall. The front swag and jabots should be attached separately and may be omitted entirely. Sometimes one pole in the center is used instead of the two, or q canopy may be employed in the usual manner, from which to suspend the curtains.
 The variations in methods of treat ment are numberlcss. Artistic effects fortunately are not dependent upon ex- pensive fabrics. Among low priced fab rics suitable are silkaline chintz, plain and tambOured muslins and dotted swiss When muslins are used, ribbon trimming may be employed. Handsome spreads are ill order, and those gifted ill the direction of embroidering have here excellent opportunities to exercise their talent

Many Examples to Prove That the Stage Is Not InimIcal to Matrimonial Hiss. Actresses Compared to other Women. The Sex Very Much Alike.
[special Corrcspondence.l

BOSTON, Oct a.-Evcr since women be- gan to fill feminine parts on the stage, which is about three centuries ago, there has been mors or less prejudice against them in any domestic capacity. The very fact that for more than [, GOO years they never appeared in the characters written for them in any country proves how wide and deep was the conviction that the theater, in respect of acting, exercised a most immoral influence on women. This conviction has faded during the present century into n bias, but still a decided bias, that actresses do not make good wives; that they commit an errOr, to put 1t mildly, if they enter into matrimOny.
 Many persons indeed go so far as to be- lievc that the profession of an actress is SO incompatible with life of domesticity that the one precludes the other. How often a man of the world, hearing of an actress marriage, smiles satirically and asks, For how longf'
 It cannot be denied that many women on the stage are gifted with connubial yer satility. But are they alone so gifted' Arc not other women, particularly those petitors in this rcgardf Is not the restless ness, the love of change that belong to the age, specially revealed in wedlock2
 Actresses are always in evidence. Pub licity Is their daily food. Popularity is the oxygen of their life. Everything they do or fail to do is advertised. Their entire career is one of self exploitation. Privacy to them is like death. They would not have it if they could. They could not have 1t if they would. Apart from themselves public curiosity is rife concerning them, and the community, which is largely play going, is ever eager to comment on their conduct and to discuss all their affairs Hence every conjugal experience they have, whether 1t be ordinary or peculiar, is noted by the press and debated by the people to an extent wholly out of prupOr- tion to its consequence
 A clever New York comedienne who was welded to a man about town several years ago and left him not long after on account of nonsupport and his bad habits was warranted in saying: From the ado made in the newspapers about my one un- fortunate matrimonial ventura 1t might be thought that had spent the greater part of my life in getting married and un- married. 1 have had only one husband, a very bad one, and do not want anoth-

"htA suc UTILIZE ill ship some veteran in that line stands by her, and his name is given merely to comply with the law. Not once in six months has it been necessary to change any of her orders, as she knows every reef, shoal and current of San Diego harbOr.
 Her talent is largely hereditary. Her father is a veteran of the seas, fought for his country in the navy, has sailed all seas as master of big merchant ships and now holds an important position in the harbor of San Diego. The daughter has lived all her life by the sea or on it. When in her teens, she could handle an so foot schooner in a stiff. .breeze almost like a veteran and at length won the highest honors of the profession. One afternoon during a half gale from the southeast 3, 900 ton collier came in, and the master, in his eagerness to make port that afternoon, ran too clos before taking a pilot and found himself about to be driven on Zaningu shoal, of the harbor mouth.
 Miss Polhemus, being the only pilot available at the time. soon reached the collier, and after giving the captain her opinion of his carelessness in very forci- ble sailor English took the wheel, gave orders to shorten sail and soon had the vessel on another tack. This achieve ment excited the enthusiasm of all the pilots on the coast. When Miss Polhe- mus gets her pilots certificate, her fees for bringing a vessel in will be $5 per foot of the vessels draft and cents per ton-a very profitable profession indeed for a woman.

 In 1ss6 he visited England, where he was received with great cordiality. Edi- tions of his collective poems have appeared from time to time, the first in 1886.

 A series of genial papers from his pen, entitled "Over thei Teacups," appeared in The Atlantic Monthly during 1890.
 The latter years of his life have been spent in quiet retirement at Beverly Falls farm, broken occasionally by a lecture to the Harvard stIdents
