lures which embellish the walls of his house in London likewise bear witness to his love of art and of his discrimination as a collector He is student of tho i'm pressionist school not only when displayed on canvas, but in literature and life, and even on the stage, and thinks nothing else worthy of admiration. He regards Ib- sen as the master impressionist of the day, in so far as he grasps nature at q glance. Like most men of his profession, he holds very decided views in regard to critics and criticism. In common with the generality of fair minded actors, he feels bound to respect really honest criticism. When, however, it isn't honest, 1t ceases to Do criticism, and he simply ignores it.
 Although at all times a very busy man, Mir. Thomas has found time to fall in love and get married. Mrs. Thomas is a charm ing, sweet faced woman, devoted to hel husband, to whom she is a great help, and often goes over his lines with him when he has a recitation to deliver or part to play just to mako sure ho has them pat. He Is capital story teller, and, like most veteran actors, has an almost inexhausti- ble fund of anecdotes. He narrates one incident which happened soon after he went on the stage, while he was with the Kendals. He was taking things very lei surely one night, not having heard his cue, when somebody rushed up to him, saying, Good heavens, man, don't you know they're waiting for you on tho stagef" Not standing on the order of his going, he went at once. Ho couldn't find n door, but thinking 1t no time for ceremony bolt cd through the first opening he came across. It happened to be big fireplace. Tlic audience of course roared at his Meph- istophelean entrance, but the young ac- tor couldn't see the funny part of the joke.
 Another time when playing n small part with the same company he had to say, MT. Polwhelc, coffee is served in the veranda." Mir. Kendall and Mr: Hare stood near him in the wings while he waited for his cue, and Mir. Kendall chaf
 fingly said: "Some night Thomas will an- nounce, Coffee is polwleled in the ve- randa. See if he doesn'G." At that mo- ment he got his cue, went on and said those very words. Every body on the stage shook with laughter except the perpetrator of the blunder, and he didn't seem to see it in quite that light. He tells another story where the joke was not on him. The incident took place at Toronto when he was playing in ''The Pantomime Rehears- al" with Rosina Vokes. From his dress ing room he beard the voice of little Wee don Grossmith shouting, Brandon, Bran- don, come and make these devils stopH He hurried out and found Grossmith, ready dressed for the part of Lord Arthur, eyeglass, boutonniere and all, struggling in the embrace of two big carpenters, who were hustling him out of doors. Whats the matters" yelled Thomas, catching one of tho men by tho shoulder. We're put ting the Johnny outside, :" replied the man firmly. We don't nllow no mashers in- side our stage door" Thomas explained matters and this time saw the joke, but poor GrossmIth was doubtful about it.

 MINNEAPOLIS, March 7.-" Adry and put up the job to kill Miss Cling, and agreed if we got caught to lay it on liar ry."
 Upon tho above words, the testimony of Maggie Wachter, w. W. Erwin reared his defense as presented to the jury in bis closing appeal for the life of his client He dwelt upon the testimony of Maggie Wachtcr, used tho words of Blixt and laid before the jury the theory of the defense that it was Adry Hayward who was the criminal, tho human tiger, and Blixt, who was the cunning rogue, the intelligent will lain who had managed to suit his evidence to tho needs of tho state.
 A half day was spent in the exordium and three full hours in explaining the evil donce of Claus A. Bllxt to show that it was Adry who had planned the murder with Blixt, and Blixt who was secreting him and using every eudeavor to save his neck and place the moose about that of Harry Hayward. He referred to tho hyp- notic theory and insisted that many of the statements of Blixt had been given to fit such a theory erected by Friar O'Dell. Hypnotism was a new idea in law. A Kansas court has listened to it, but the appellate court had kicked it out of the window,

Flames Discovered While Twelve Hundred
 People Were In the Building.
 BOSTON. March 7.-An attempt was made to burn St Peter's Roman Catholic church, which is situated in the Dorches- ter district of this city, while 1 BOO people were attending evening service. The blaze was discovered in time to prevent serious damage to the building. and, although a stampede of the audience occurred as soon as it was known fire was threatened, no one was severely Injured. Several win dows were broken, and doors were wrench cd from their hinges. A number fell while descending the stairs and the steps lead ing to the entrance of the church, and women tainted.
 Rev. Father Peter Roman, officiating clergyman, was burned about the hands while extinguishing the blaze This is tho third Catholic church to be visited by fire within eight days. The other two St. Anne's, Dorchester, and Gate of Heav. en, South boston-were destroyed.
 When tho smoke had cleared, 1t wal found that the desk and It's contents and the floor all about had been saturated with kerosene oil. while several half burn. cd matches were discovered under tho desk. The police were called in, and two officerl were detailed to guard the church during the night. It is thought likely that 1 searching investigation will be mado Ints the origin of the recent Catholic churct dros.

He Reaches the Ducking Grounds and VIII
 Stay Ten Days.
 NORFOLK, March The United States lighthouse tender Violet, with the presi- dents party aboard, which left Washing ton on Tuesday morning, arrived at Nor folk and proceeded directly to Portsmouth, where a stop was made at the United States buoy yard, opposite the navy yard. Very little interest was manifested in the arrival of the party, and when they reach- cd the yard but two persons were at the dock.
 The president had not left his stateroom when the Violet reached Portsmouth. and tEore was no one on deck but the crew. The president arose soon after leaving Portsmouth and was on deck whom the vessel reached the Gilmerton locks, through which she had to pass on her way to the North Carolina waters. On the deck be- sides the president were Dr. O'Reilly, his physician; Commander George K. Wilde of the lighthouse board and Commander Lambertson of this lighthouse district. In answer to inquiries Cl2amander Lambertson said that the president was feeling very well and had greatly enjoyed the pleasant trip down the bay and through Hampton roads. The commander stated further that the Violet was making her regular inspection tour of the lighthouses in this district, and added that the presi. dent had embraced tho opportunity to spend q few days away from the turmoil l of official lifo to enjoy the scenery and the | shooting to be had in North Carolina's l famous sounds.
 The president, he said, had been great- ly fatigued by the rush of business in the closing hours of tho congress, and Dr. | O'Reilly, his physician, had recommended brief rest and recuperation in outdoor ! exercise.
 Commander Lambertson said the presi- dent would return in eight or ten days | and hoped to have a very successful trip from n sportsman's standpoint. Mir. Cleveland looked very well as he stood on deck in the bracing morning air. He wore dark suit of heavy clothing, an open collar. black string tie and derby hat. He seems to have grown stouter since his last visit to this section a few months | ago.

Mss ANNA GOULD may be more or less culpable and un-American in having so much money and wedding a title; but there are so few American girls. rich or poor, who would not go and do likewise if the money or the title should come their way. that it is hardly worth while for the newspaper press or the pulpit to give ex- precision to so much violent feeling about the matter. Husbsnd-pickingi is purely a matter of taste, and no amount of filthy lucre-which all true Americans owe it to themselves to profess to despise-can possibly alter the rights of the contracting parties or the ethics of the question. Whom Miss Gould saw fit to marry is matter which chiefly concerns herself. Miss Gould was quite capable of deciding this affair for herself. Moreover. as a free American girl it was her privilege to be- stow her hand upon whenever she deemed worthy of it. Because she possesses i'm mense wealth she was not the less entitled to follow the promptings of her own judg- ment. Rich women have the same privi- lege in this country to select husbands un- hampered by outside influence as poor young women have.
 IT is fashionable to abuse congress, but when one takes the trouble to go carefully over the work of the 6fty-third congress. it will be seen that there is little cause for abuse from anybody and none for abuse from democrats. True, this congress did not meet the expectations of the presi- dent as to financial Legislation. but why was it? The democratic party has always taught that the first duty of a senator or representative was to represent his consti- tuents. We'll. that is precisely what the democrats in the senate and house of the ffty-t third congress did, and that is why there was no financial legislation. Presi- dent Cleveland realized this, and he has had no word of abuse for congressman who stood by the views of their constituents. although he has not hesitated to express the opinion that those views were wrong and that time would convince those who held them of the fact.

ADVICE TO YOUNG WOMEN.

Do not fancy that because mock modes ty Is immOdesty therefore immodesty is modesty.
 Do not think that the dressmaker is ey- erything in life. There should be plenty of between times"
 Do not fancy that love is nothing Thore is no simile short of an absolute vacuum for life without love.
 Do not marry without a regard to the money side of it. A matrimonial venture without money is like a ship at sea with out stores, ruddor or sails.
 Do not fancy that love is everything. Love Is a yordCiOus creature and lives and grows greatly upon things far more sub stantial than kisses and protestations of adOratiOn.
 Do not tell men that you never intend to marry. We all know that every wom- an and every man on this earth intends to marry. It is only question of time and right opportunity.
 Do not be a slave to conventionality. Remember that it is a generality and not intended for particular cases, but be ex- ceeding sure and take the soundest advice about the particular cases.
 Do not marry for money. No woman work of her life. There are hours on hours, in life and those the most important hours when money and the position 1t brings arc powerless to cheer, amuse or console.- New York World.
