A sTRANGE COINCIDENCE.

The strides made in the commercial
world are great indeed, aud the very
latest came to light in Ardmore yes
terday morning. At O'Clock q. M.
on that date, there arrived in the
family of r. w. Raldol an eleven
pound baby girl. There was Moth
ing astonishing in this as q conse-
qnence, although it was the first girl
with which the family has been bless
ed. The strange feature was that
Mr.. Randol had not yet fully recov.
cred from his nervous shock before
ne received a. postal card, which had
arrived two hours after the birth Of
his daughter. Nothing strange about
that, but here comcs the coincidence.
The card was from q music house in
New York desirous Of selling him :
piano for his daughter. Mr.. Randol
has not yet ordered the instrument
but he says. he1 be gol darned II such
enterprise isn't. worthy of its reward.

And His Nerve Was Rewarded With a

Here is good story from the London
Figaro:
II happened the other night to be at
one of the smaller theaters in the city
and witnessed toward the last act of
the principal play very amusing Incl
dent.
ga slight Impotence was shown
among the audience at the delay in rails
ing the curtain, and shortly the mana
ger appeared to announce that one of
the actors had been taken ill, which
necessitated his role being taken by a
substitute.
Then the act commenced, but sud-
denly every one was startled by the ap-
pearance of another character on the
stage, who Immediately began to ex-
plain himself as follows:
+" They have deceived you I am not
i'll, but they have not paid me, and as
have not dined was of course unable
to fulfill my role.
'The public was at first stupefied,
but very soon acclaimed the actor, and
money literally rained on the stage.
Finally at the end of several minutes
the actor, who probably had received
satisfaction, entered the stage and play
ed his part, much to the delight of the
SPECTATORS. -

hallucination took peculiar forms. He
would travel up and down the bay on

as he was considered daft, and he was
the butt of the small boys jokes and

In regard to the picture presumed

United States it may not be out Of place
for me, in the first place, to point out
that the painting represents in the sim
plest manner that naked humanity is
aided to ascend from the depths of base
animalism by love, meaning sympathy,
generosity and aspiration, signitied by
the broad wings. The figures are purely
symholical, having, I hope, no tinge Of
sensuality in the character of their
form.

may be said, "They are such nice girls"
Little Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt, who
is dainty and entirely sweet, is, of
course, the heiress par excellence of the

be something awful. Indeed nearly all

chance Of coming out ball simply be-
cause none of them lives in big enough

Mrs. Coleman Drayton's legal answer
to her husbands complaint is rather
unsatisfactory to society. She simply
says she didn't and leaves it all open
question between her own and her hus
bands veracity. People rather hoped
for something with more spice in it,
more boiling oil, so to speak. When peo-
pie who lead society come to grief in di
vorce courts, people have right to eS-
pect great sensation. To simply say:
"You are all wrong. never was there
in my life" is not what we have been
expecting. Society holds that Mrs.
Drayton should have named some
haunts said to have been frequented by
her husband and made matters general
ly unpleasant for him. In its present
shape it doesn't look as if the case
would ever be brought to trial, and
therefore society, which once fawned
upon Mrs. Drayton, is disappointed. 1t
actually feels as if Mrs. Drayton had in
some way done it grievous injustice.

Still we have reached decision as to
what we are going to do, or try to do. We
are going on, just as if nothing had hap
pened, with the exception that the cutting
off of our sure line of retreat makes it nee
essary for us to shorten our campaign and
return to the Seven islands not later than
Sept. 1. This leaves us 80 days in which
to go forward and come back, and if we
can find practicable road, which is, we
must confess, somewhat doubtful since
the northwesterly gales have broken and
screwed the drift ice, we shall do the best
we can What fortnight ago promised

Juell and Ellefsen are sent back to the
sledge camp with the intelligence that the
expedition is to go on as soon as we shall
have rejoined it, but it is with anything
but cheerful faces that we crawl into the
snug beds which the sailors have prepared
for us in their tent. Before we go to sleep
some one makes the discovery that tho
ships steward is drying sticks of dyna
mite in the cook stove a few feet from ou1
beds, and this causes so much amusement
that we crack our jokes, light our pipes
