THE LONDON STAGE.
Sarah Bernhardt's Rousing Re-
ception at the English Days,
Wizards "The Middleman" De-
cIared Behind the Times.
An American Actress Put to Test In
the French Language.

Copyright, 1894, by the Associated Press)
LONDON, June 23.-The event of the
week In the theatrical world of London
has been the reception which Nine
Sarah Bernhard, the great French
actress, has met with at Days Theatre
On Monday last the audience assembled
reached a pitch of enthusiasm seldom
seen in England, and this was in face
of the fact that the remarkable acting
Of Nine. Eleanore Duse, the gre 1t Italian
actress, had led people to imagine that
a star of unusual magnitude had arisen
ara hat it was destined to eclipse the
supposed-to-be waning light of the
gifted and versatile tragedienne who
had so long held the sceptre of power
over the stage.
BIZ. Bernhard proved herself sub
timely equal to the occasion, and
demonstrated beyond any doubt that
she was still the magnetic actress of
old, that she had lost none of her won
derful qualities of flexibility of voice and
dramatic fire, and that, 80 far as per-
sonal appearance Is concerned. she
seems to defy the ravage Of time. After
the third act of 'Izeyl." Nine. Bern
hardt was recalled eight times. and II
seemed that the audience could not
shower too much applause upon her.
"Izeyl," as outlined in these de-
spatches some time ago, Is four-act
sacred drama by NM. Armand. Syl-
vestre and Moran, which has had a long
run at the Theatre de la Renaissance, In
Paris. The plot of the play Is located In
India at the time Of the coming of Bud
dha. Izeyl is a beautiful courtesan, who
tries in vain to ensnare the new
prophet.
L. s. Willard was accorded the most
cordial welcome at the Comedy Theatre
upon his temperance In London afteI
his American tour. But Mr.. Wizards
company was considered by the critics
to be inadequate, and his play, 1.-The
Middleman," is pronounced to be behinc
the times. AS result, the Comedy
Theatre audiences during the week have
been slim.
Another event Of interest in the world
of theatricals was the appearance o.
Julia Nelson and Fred Terry. both Of
whom have for a long time past beer
members of the Haymarket Theatr,
company, in the melodrama Shall w
Forgive Herr" at the Adelphi Theatr,

Tyrone Powerss 1.-The Texans" Is pro
nounced by the London critics to be con
ventional and crude, but 1t met with I
sympathetic reception at the Princess
Theatre on Thursday. AS already an
nounced, it is the intention Of the syndi

other plays, 1.-The Sins of the Fathers

A smuggling scheme.

Passing through Hudson street with
afriend, CHANGED to pass the establish
ment of firm Of folders and repack-
ers" of dry goods. Before the door were
a hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings. but showing that
they were destined for firm in Texas,
doing business in town near tho Mex
lean line.
do you know" asked my coinpan-
ion, why thoss' goods arc put up in
such small raekages?''
Upon replying ntho negative he con-
tinued: They are to be struggled across
the Mexican line. The goods are pur-
chased In their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about 90 pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case.
1.-THE goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs Of mules,
two,bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods ere sold to Mex
lean traders at a good profit.
Smuggling in this msnner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled, cheap

Hints fer Women.


Oxalic acid is the best liquid for
cleaning brass.
Cover the hands with paper bags
while backing the stove.
Pare fruit with silver or plated
knife, if you would not stain your
fingers.
A pinch of soda added to stewed
sour fruit makes less sugar necessary
in sweetenlng.
Let potatoes lie in cold water an
hour before cooking, if you want
them white and mesly.
Blankets and furs sprinkled with
borsx and done up air light, will
keep free from moths.
A few drops Of essential oil Of Law
ender on cotton wool quickly rids a
bed of troublesome insects.
Salt extracts the juices from the
meat in cooking. Steaks ought not,
therefore, to be sailed until they
have been broiled.
Stair rods should be cleaned with
soft wooden cloth dipped in water,
and then in freely silted ashes. Then
rub them with dry flannel until
they shine.
Powdered borax and soap is the
best thing for cleaning copper ket.
ties. Wet a coarse cloth in hot wa.
ter, soap it well, and sprinkle over il
the powdered borax.
Boiling water made strong with
ammonia and applied with whisk
broom cleans willow chairs admira
bly,. Soap should never be used, as
it turns yellow.
