present running in place of the
Plymouth, but the Providence will
be ready for the position by Mon

When Minnie palmer's company was
playing at the old Park theater, once tho
Arch Street Opera House, Philadelphia, In
the season Of 1679-8o, the comedian Of the
company was stopping aGthe Continental
hotel, whore the famous English church
man, the late Dean Stanley, who was then
making bis first visit to the country, was
also sojourning at the same time
Now, the dean and the actor, who played
the 1rst old man In the Palmer company,
were about the same age and bore strik-
Ing resemblance to each other in point Of
figure. 1t chanoed one day that as Dean
Stanley was going up stairs the comedian
of the Palmer company started to go up
behind him, and mistaking him for his
friend and associate, the first old man,
playfully gave the dean q sharp thrust
with his thumb. Poor Stanley, believing
with rage and anger, turned hastily around
to discover the author of his anguish and
behald the comedian, who was over
whelmed with modification and regret to
fnd that he had taken such liberty with
ono Of the heads Of the English church.
"Sir," exclaimed the comedian, II beg
your pardon. did not know who you
were. Pray pardon me. would never
have taken such an unwarrantable liberty
had I not mistaken you for one Of our com
pany."
The dean reversed the precedent of Ham
lets fathers ghost and regarded him
more In anger than In sorrow for q mo-
ment and then said in his most dignifled
and stately manner: lone of your COM
pany! Young man, what kind of company
do you keepr-Francis Wilson In New

came from the many poor debtors oath ad-
ministrsting Offices and huddled together
at tho foot of Orange street slip for an
hour prior TO the departure OF the next
attachment which was TO take them away
on their ono day of freedom. There
was but one disturbance to mar the
general harmony previous to the start; 1t
was when . collector disguised in a
worried look and frsyed trousers joined
the party and claimed to be one OF it.
when, with instinct stronger than shrewd-
ness, he socosted one OF the excursion
committee of arrangements and asked II
he might "See HIM Saturday." The
outsider was quickly hustled out and
the real sufferers embarked.
