many doll hospitals In existence, and

Two good looking and we'll dressed
young women recently created quite q
sensation among the commission houses
on Sixth street in Cincinnati. Each had
n small sachel hung owe her shoulder,
full of shoe polish. They approached
every man in sight and asked to be al
lowed to shine his shoes. If anyone de-
INJURED the girls persisted, and almost
invariably won their point. They car,
rfed no BOXES and chairs were used in
stead. 1t was rather a I'VE experience,
Tor most of the men, and 1t was with.
some embarrassment that they placed
a foot on the chair while the girls re-
moved the dust from the shoes and ap-
piled a coat of the polish. AS soon as
the operation was completed they would
spring a bottle of the polish from the
satchel, selling it and the shine for d
quarter. The girls did a land office bust
ness, while there were more brilliant
shoes on Sixth street than ever was
known before.

attracting N from the authori-'
ties. Some time ago the ministry of,
ways and communications approved off

James Gordon Bennett is expected to
return soon from Paris to New York,
where business of Importance awaits
him. His immense uptown real estate
has gradually been surrounded by popu-,
lation n must either be sold or fenced
as a protection against trespassers-forI
forty acres of hill and plain are too
great a temptation for excursionists.i
This forty acre tract was bought by the
senior Bennett at a very low price, be-,
ing then far out Of town, but now it cam
be laid out in building lots, more than
500 in number, and worth in all not less
than $2,0O0,000. 1t was formerly owned

only rs years old and weighs 257 pounds.
he can reach a point ten feet from the

Mckenzie hopes to beat him before the
ear is out.

finest furs in the world, and only one
or two white men have ever been there.
In the Interpretation Of Macbeth.
Henry Irving ~repudiates the idea that,
the hero of Shakespeare's bloody trag-i
edy was the tool of inordinate female
ambition, and he personates a character,
which dominates Lady Macbeth, and isl
the aggressive force in the drama OF
treason and murder. Miss Terry's Lady,
Macbeth fits this idea, and onvey no
suggestion of a woman with a mustache,
and a bass voice. 1t is quite doubtful,
whether the advanced woman" will
sanction his bold innovation.
