THEATER CURTAINS.
Costly Draperies That Are Used In Some of
the London Theaters.

the London Theaters. 81
Few have any idea of the money
spent by the managers of London thea
tiers in procuring the curtain which
hides the stage from public view, re-,
marked we'll known theatrical fur.
nisher to reporter. Take, for instance,
the glorious curtain at Sir Henry Irv.
ing's theater, the Lyceum. That cur
tain, if it cost penny, cost at least
1000 guineas- I am told that 1000
yards of beautiful blood red plush were
used to make it complete, and for it Sir
Henry Irving is indebted to the Baron
ess Burdett- Coutts, who some years ago
generously made him a present of the
curtain as tribute to his artistic gen.
ius
A very expensive curtain is that used
ut the Prince of Wales theater, Coven-
try street, now occupied by Mr.. Arthur
Roberts. Its cost was about 5000. It is
made Of boiler plate, is entirely fire
proof and weighs no less than six tons.
No fire can get from the stage to the
auditorium or vice versa, as the top and
bottom Of the curtain respectively rest
against and upon a solid wall of brick
work. l believe this, as we'll as other
curtains Of the same kind, was the in
vention of Nh. G. J. Phipps, the theat-
l:ical architect
Perhaps the most beautiful theater
curtain in London-where the finest
curtains in the world are to be seen
are those at the Lyceum, to which I
have referred, the Palace Theater of
Varieties, and the Savoy The Palace
curtain is a real work of art, and Mr..
D'Oyly Carte must have lavished a
small fortune upon its make. It is a
beautiful dream Of gold and various 9TH
er colored silks, and something like 600
square yards Of silk We're used in it's
manufacture. [ am told that the director
Of the Paris Opera was almost thunder
struck when, during Mr.. Carries produc-
ton Of "Ivanhoe, - he saw the curtain
for the first time
The Savoy curtain must have cost
$500 if a penny, its material being Of
the finest gold plush. Another expen-
slve curtain was that bought by Mr.
Charles Wyndham for the Criterion. It
cost over e120, being made by Maple
Most Of the other London houses, and
probably all the country theaters, con-
tent themselves with the old fashioned
curtain of canvas, sometimes with a
scene and sometimes with imitation cur
tains painted upon it. The cost of these
varies OF course, and may run from $40
to e200, according to the amount Of
work put into them and the artist en-
gagged to paint the scene. London Tit

THEY WON THE RAISE.
The Directors Were Satisfied That Their
Claim Was just.

Once when the miners of a big anthra-
cite mining company were DESTROYS Of
receiving increased pay an effort was
made to induce the local officials in the
| mining country to make such repre-
sensations to the president Of the com
pany as would produce the desired ef-
feet. This was unavailing, however, and
efforts in other directions We're tried,
until the directors offered to meet a
delegation Of the miners in New York
city and discuss the situation. A dozen
OF the braWniest miners in the region
were selected as deleg ates-great rugged
men, who would certainly make a "a
vorable impression. The men met the
officials and stated their case, which
was that at the prevailing rate Of wages
they could hardly get enough to eat.
The matter was held under advise
ment, and the conference adjourned to
luncheon. Then came the most amazing
display Of appetites that has ever been
seen before or since, and the colored
walters turned pale as they saw a dish
intended for the entire party retained
by one man, who speedily made away
with the contents. Each man seemed as
ravenous as though he had not eaten for
a week, and the caterer was at his wits
ends to provide for them ALL
At last, when every portion had been
eaten and all seemed inclined for more,
a giant whose native place was South
Wales cried out: Don't you worry
about no more fancy things. Bring US
cheese, and we'll make out all right. "
A cheese was procured, and the directors
gazed with awe as it speedily disap-
peared. AS the last crumbs were disap-
pearing the officials held hurried con-
sultation, and after awhile the president
announced: "Gentlemen, we have decid-
ed to concede your claims to an advance
Of 10 per cent, for we are certain that
at present you can scarcely get enough
to eat. Nothing but this pleasurable
meeting could SO fully have convinced
us Of your needs The delegates have
not yet wearied of telling of the amaz-
ing display of gluttony which they al

FORTUNE IN BLACK DIAMONDS.
Value of the Thousands of Tons of Coal at
Perth and South Amboy

value Of the Thousands of Tons of Coal al
Perth and South Amboy.
Thousands Of tons of coal are shipped
from tie ports of Perth and South Am
boy, at the mouth Of the Raritan river,
every month. It is loaded in vessels for
all points along the Atlantic seaboard
and many European ports. The coal
docks OF the Lehigh Valley railroad at
Perth Amboy are among the largest in
the world The docks of the. Pennsyl-
vama railroad at South Amboy are
nearly as large in shipping capacity.
In connection with the handling of
such immense quantities Of coal one of
the most troublesome problems for the
railroad companies is to keep their roll
ing stock In constant motion. It is, con-
sidered loss Of revenue for car to re-
main several days at given point, and
everything is done to facilitate the rapid
movement of the cars, both loaded and
empty. For number of years loaded
cars were kept standing in the storage
yards OF the Pennsylvania railroad at
South Amboy for weeks at a time. At
times the company was embarrassed for
want OF cars to transport the coal from
the mines. The difficulty was finally
solved about three years ago. In place
Of the long string of loaded cars may
now be seen immense piles of coal.
When train arrives from the mines,
6he various kinds Of coal are sorted out
and the cars drilled to the proper side
track for unloading. In close proximity
to each side track stands large derrick
with a movable boom extending diagon-
ally into the air about so feet. To this
boom is attached a large travelling belt,
on which are fastened large buckets. The
belt is operated by a small steam engine
III charge OF the man who manipulates
the elevator. AS the coal drops from the
outlet in the Car it falls into the buckets
on the elevator belt and is carried to the
end OF the swinging boom, where it is
dropped in the center Of the pile and dis
tributed by gravity. The coal remains in
these piles until it is required for ship
ment; then it is loaded in cars and trans
ferred to the docks
The immense piles of coal usually

and are worth from $40, 900 to $50, 900,
according to the market value Of the
j coal. 1t is frequently the case that there
are 10 Of these piles Of coal in the stor-
age yard, representing value of from
f; $500, 900 to $500, 000 1t was discovered
recently that the coal rusted while in
these piles. This did not detract from
the burning qualities, but affected the
selling value. TO prevent this canvas
covers were made at a cost Of $1,000
each. When the piles Of coal are all
covered, the storage yard resembles a
large circus. The sight of such an i'm
mense quantity of coal is viewed with
establishment by strangers, although the
residents of South Amboy are 50 accus-
toned to it that they never give it a Sec
ond thought. NEW York Telegram.

AN ANCIENT BLOCKHOUSE,
The Bouquet Redoubt the Only One In
Existence.

The Bouquet Redoubt the Only One In
Existence.
Here in Pennsylvania we find what
is not in existence in the east or south
One Of the original blockhouses built
before the Revolution and still in a per-
feet state Of preservation. All the others
have disappeared. Forts Duquesne and
Pitt are things OF the past, but the re-
doubt OF Colonel Bouquet stands today
as it stood 1870 years ago. TO the Pitts
burg chapter of the Daughters of the
Revolution we are indebted for it's res
toration. 1t has been owned by them
since 1888. Until that year the old
redoubt of Bouquet, as it is called, was
occupied as a tenant house, and within
it's walls was born Pittsburg's local his
torian, the late Neville B. Craige, ESQ.
Down on 1.-THE point" on a narrow,
dirty little street called Fort street, sur
rounded by tumbledown buildings near

Colonel Bouquet in 1854 as defense
against the Indians The lower story is
Of stone and the upper of brick. In both
are perforations OF loopholes, through
which the defenders could fire with
comparative safety from the enemy
Why this redoubt was erected has
been a query to us, as but short dis

considerable magnitude and whose

the manufacture of Dr. Wards Lniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name CDR. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
MI. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors However, in this
matter he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards

customers into thinking they had the genuine
article Therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,

same to be registered in the U. ). Patent Office
