GOOD OPENING OF DRAMA.
The Daley Stock Company Makes a
Fine First Impression.

Daley's Stock Company made a
thoroughly successful opening Of its
season of drama at the Opera House
last night. There was a full house,
even to rows OF extra chairs and the
balcony. The play was "Monte
Cristo" and il was put on with a
firstrate setting.
Darrell Vinton was the leading
player in the triple role OF Edmond
Dantes," the "Abbe" and the "Count
Of Monte Cristo," characters of the
hero at different stages Of this thrill
ling story Of the elder Dumas. His
acting was superb throughout, win
ming loud applause at every crucial
point.
Mortimer Snow acted his part we'll
as "Nortier, a Bouapartist," his dis
guises being capital and his elocution
OF high order. Mr.. Snow will be
seen in the leading role tomorrow
evening, when "Wife for Wife" is to
be played.
May Nannary played Mercedes"
gracefully in every situation, from
the blithe intended bride to the un-
happy Madame whose widowing
brought her peace and, possibly,
felicity. Her singing Of the lately
arrived popular ditty, Daisy Bell"
in the FIRST act was hit, being en-.
cored as we'll as her dancing of a
hornpipe with Mr.. Vinton.
Mr.. Daley the manager was him.
self very successful as "Cadarouse"
and in other comic roles. He never
failed to make smiles come loudly at
his jokes, and his acting was attful
and lively. Mrs. Bates rendered
"Carconte" with high dramatic art.
She portrayed different phases Of a
hard lot in life with accomplished
skill. Miss Genevieve Nannary acted
Albert dc Morcerf' very prettily
throughout.
The death scene, burial aud rising
from watery grave at the Chateau
dlf prison, the sinister tragedy IN
the Pont du Gard inn, and the duel
IN the last act were carried out with
intense impressiveness. Mr.. Niuton
made the greatest dramatic hit OF
the evening in the rising scene, as he
cried, THE world is mine"
The support given by the rest Of
the company to the chief actors was
creditable. A successful season ought
to he ensured by the popular favor
the company has earned IN its initial
appearance.

REED AND HIS TEACHER.

Young Toms Quickness at Repartes
Saved Him from the Birch.
Ex-Speaker Reeds boyhood was not
particularly eventful, says the Hart
ford Post. He was tall and slender,
and had not the chubby face of his
late years of prosperity and power.
He was independent in his ways and
decidedly outspoken, q trait he in
herited from his mother. I heard a
curious story about a juvenile birching
that fell to Toms share long ago; and
if the child he father to the man, sure
1y there is clear insight into the
future characteristics of Mr.. Reed in
the speech he made to the master on
this unauspicious occasion.
''If anyone knows of any reason
why these apples should not touch the
lips of Tom Reed, let him speak now,
or forever after hold his peace" said
the young rascal one day, right under
the masters nose. And he gave q great
bite at the first red-cheeked apple in
his hand.
Quick as flash, out came the birch,
and, with equal skill at repartee, the
pedagogue said:
''If anyone knows any reason why
this rod should not warm the jacket of
Tom Reed, let him speak now, or for
ever after hold his peace"
81 dol" said Tom.
Name it!' replied the master
'Incompatibility!"
He did not get that whipping.

NATURAL GRACE.
A Beautiful Quality, But When Assumed
Detriment.

Beautiful Quality. But When Assumed
Detriment.
Gracefulness, when natural, is very
pretty accompaniment to youth and
beauty in women, but when it is as
sumed, Or rather initiated in an exag-
gerated form by women of mature
years for purposes of coquetry and
Irritation, it becomes most distasteful ia
those possessed of any refinement.
Naturally graceful women in this coun-
try are by no means common nowadays.
Indeed. the compression of corsets
and the religiously tight-fitting
tailor-made gown appear almost in
compatible with gracefulness Grace.
fulness belongs essentially to freedom
and nature. and, as rule, it is easy to
discover when only acquired. Nice
manners are far prefera BILE to acquired
gracefulness, which requires contin.
ual effort to keep up. Doubtless much
of the grace of the ancient Greek and
Roman women was due to their loose
style of dress, the corset being an un.
known infliction of later years How.
ever this may be, certain it is that the
women of to-day do not possess tho
gracefulness of Helen of Troy or Cleo.

At One Time 1t Referred to Glasses with
Round Bottoms.
The English language is remarkable
for the number of its words which
have been completely changed in their
significance since they first came into
use.
Sometimes comparatively short time
suffices to set word adrift from its
original and true meaning and to cause
people to forget what its real signifi-
canoe is.
This is illustrated in our word sstum.
bier" meaning drinking glass which
sits squarely down upon the table
without foot" as in the case of a
goblet.
What = ''tumbler" really is may be
inferred from a gentleman's diary
written in 1SO3-an extract which, by
the way, throws powerful light upon
the social customs Of that dav, as well
as upon the origin of a familiar word.
The entry in the diary is as follows:
''Had / new friend to dinner Tried
my new tunbling-glassess Very sue
cessful; all got drunk early"
These tumbling-glasses. so-called
tumblers ''for short. were made with q
round or pointed bottom, so that they
could not be set down when they con.
tanned liquids without falling over and
spilling. They were made as sort of
a joke and to conduce to rapid drink
ing.
A generation sufioed to see the
change wrought in the use of this word
and the complete disappearance Of the
original signiicance.-Bcston Globe.
