LIMITATION OF DRESS on THE
SE.tGE.

Whatever difference of opinion there
that the matter OF sumptuous cosilnn-
ing on the stage has by far exceeded the
limits of necessity. There can be no
question about this. that the rulr with
regard To costume should be that il
strictly conforms TO the character.
Whenever, as Il noted writer SAYS on
the subject, the attire supersedes or
transccnds the dramatic status the play
is at an end. and the pantomime in hab-
erdashery begins.
Dumas, the young, by the publica-
ton of an article in a well known Pari-
sian magazine, II G attempted to check
this abuse and bring back the cos
tune and appointments TO their print
tive simplicity, and where he failed
there is little hope that in this day a
similar attempt will be. more fruitful
of success. However. who writes Mt
al! on the subject cannot fail to do good.
though il must be confessed that there
Is little or any hope of a thorough re
formation OF the abuses complained OF.
There are men and women on the stage
to-day who know that every step taken
in the direction under review simply de-
grades the actor or actress, and makes
HIN OF her finally "a mere clothes

Alasi For the Good Old Days.

Mr. Isaac Fieldheim of Westbourne
Grove is an elderly gentleman well up
in the tgood old times, and his feel
ings may therefore be imagined when,
after "chuckingn servant girl under
the chin and giving her shilling, he
received i'll return, not thanks, but a
summons to appear before the West Lon
don magistrate to answer charge of
assault. How times have changed since
hew youth! Then it was the custom
of blushing dainsels in service to make
a courtesy of thanfulness when guest
of their employer deigned to 'chuck"
them under the chin, but there was no
school board in those days, and servant
girls were not aware they possessed
rights-rights which they now know
they have and knowing dare maintain
and even enlarge.
The tchucks under the chin" epoch
has gone, like the megatherium and the
ichthyosaurus, and Mr.. Fieldheim was
simply out of date in attempting to re-
vive it. He was dining at the house of a
friend in Chepstow villas, Kensington,
where Mary Ann Dolling was in serv-
ice. After reflection Mr.. Isaac lighted
his cigar and asked the girl to bring
him an ash tray. She returned with the
article, and the guest then slipped a
shilling into her hand and licked the
rotundity of her chin with the tips Of
his fingers; hence the summons Lon
don Telegraph.

II many cases the failure to provide
stenographer works injustice to the
litigants. In all cases, the economy
which lops off this expenditure defeats
its object and becomes an extrava-
gance by protracting trials, thereby
adding largely TO the expense for wit
nesses and jurors. Without entering
into details. we feel justified in find-
ing from the evidence before us that
the salary of competent stenogra-
pher for an entire year would be saved
in any court or courts BY the decrease
in other expenses at a single term Of
court. We recommend the passage OF
such laws as will provide for the

Base ball is at. fever heat in our
community at the present time.
Upon the disbanding of the club last
week steps were Immediately taken
for organizing an association or stock
company. A few of our young men

that purpose. On Fridayof last week

Jas. F. Thompson. A board OF con-
troll was also chosen consisting of the
following gentlemen, U. S. G. Pitzer,
DR.. S. A. Hamill, P. H. Sayles and
James F. Rearick. The grounds have
been fixed up nicely, the diamond
cleaned off, bleachers moved a short
distance back and it all makes big
improvement. The officers of the or
ganization deserve a great deal OF
credit for their promptness in their
efforts to improve the grounds. The
following are the players at present:
