this was really music, there is a pretty
hard time in store for us hereafter.
From the way he acted inferred that
the gifted child of genius, while he did
not appear in tights, was drunk, never
theless. H.
The next performer was dog of re-
marl1able intelligence. However, he
had his trainer with him on the stage.
Cards on which were the letters of the
alphabet were so arranged that the dog
could pick them out and bring them to
his trainer. .a
''Will any gentleman suggest word
of three or four letters" asked the gen.
eral manager of the intelligent animal.
Somebody got up and said: Rats
THANK YOU" replied the smiling
manager, writing the word on black
board. "Now, Fido, how do you spell
'rats!'"
Fido walked slowly to the cardboard
letters, picked out the letters in their
| proper succession and laid them at the
| feet of his business manager, whereat
a howl of delight went up from the
| crowded house. How it was done l
cannot imagine.
The rest of the performance was very
much on the same lines, but with SUI
! perior artists.
| There was one incident which was
not down on the programme, but which
| struck me as being irresistibly funny.
! There was very serious-loolSing col
| ored gentleman in the audience, not
far from me. A lady banjoist on the
stage was singing negro camp-meet-
ing song with great fervor. The
Afro-American in the audience. who
was about the color of the inside
of a box of backing, became very
much excited, and at last he jumped up
and shouted: GLORY! Hallelujah!'
| The audience roared, but an usher, in
a sort of naval uniform, bounced upon
the helpless African like duck upon a
June bug, grabbed him by the collar,
and after humping him on the wall a
time or some, propelled him toward the
exit with great violence. "Luff me
go, or dis chiles gwinter make trouble. y
expostulated the indignant Afric-
an. Look out for his razor!" said
some one in the audience. second
naval officer reinforced No. 1, and the
effusivcly-pious gentleman of color
was ANONYMOUSLY hustled into the
street. ni#a
With the rest of the audience, en-
joyed this more than anything on the
stage, and next dav told friend, an
old New Yorker, all about it.
Why" he said, with superior
smile, that's done at every perform
ance. 1t is done to make talk, just as
you have told me about it. The darby
is paid for that"
went next day, and sure enough the
same scene was enacted, but the stai
performer was another negro, several
shades lighter ALEX e. SWEET.

separate and distinct uses. When we
speak of the coat costume, we always
think of the stylish, well-ftting jacket,
while the cape finds favor for dress
up" occasions, as well as the more COM
mon everyday wear. In all the newer
jackets notice there is an effort to do
away with the godet back and in it's
place are substituted fan-lil>e plaits
folded very fiat. The back is also cut
short, falling only few inches below
the waist and having but few seams,
though it is close fitting. With one or
two exceptions the fronts are all loose,
being sometimes cut a trihe longer than
the back. These jackets or small coats,
as some tailors call them, strike the
keynote, as it were, of the fashions to
be worn throughout the season, and as
they are so generally becoming, l see
no reason why they should not go
through several seasons, with perhaps
a few notifications.
1t is too early to speak with any de-
gree of certainty of the styles of fur
garments, especially jackets, for the
coming winter. A very radical change
in sleeves is predicted, but as yet moth
ing is positively known.
Capes this fall are cut very short and
very full. This is particularly true of
the velvet and silk plush capes, some
having such full godets as to form
waves around the corsage. The edges
of these capes are buttonholed and
embroidered with jet and are invari-
q W x.yith
colored satin or silk. A very pretty
model in MORE silk had the first cape
of black, the second white and the top
one of black, all the edges being fin
ished by full ruches of lace, while
about the shoulders of the upper cape
was handsome jet galloon trimming.
Another late model is given in the
picture. 1t is made of rich black
miroir velvet and lined throughout
with pale yellow brocaded satin. Each
godet is outlined by broad bands of jet
passementerie, while round the neck
and lower edge is an exceedingly
handsome trimming of ostrich feathers,
which trimming, might mention in
passing, is destined to play an i'm
portant part this winter on gowns as
well as outer garments.
In the matter of millinery for the
coming winter there is nothing def
mite at the present moment. There

street Irishman is fresh and delicious,
like ripe peaches. The wit of the comic
stage Irishman may be compared to
dried peaches. There is difference, and
what difference! The two Hibernians
were made up SO grotesque'y that they
looked more like balloons than human
beings. They conversed.
''Oi was oop before the court yester-
day, Moike."
"And phat was yez charged wid?"
Whisky, begorra!'
This humorous sally, which has been
in circulation probably for centuries,
was received with vociferous applause.
The curtain descends, and, after a
brief delay, goes up again. The tropic-
al landscape is still there, and typical
tough girl, in tattered garments. vigor-
ously chewing gum, and protrudiug her
chin, stalks across the stage. Ever
since Ada Lewis made hit of 1.-THE
tough girl, in Harrigan's "O'Reilly and
the Four Hundred" the New York
stage has been infested with tough
girls, until it has become monotonous.
This one is precisely like half a dozen

worked for one portion of his life in
order that he may loaf for the rest of
his life, they have neither Of them
worked at all, and the means of loaf
ing have come to them without any
effort on their part. There is, however,
calculation and a certain amount of
brain power demonstrated in the park
loafer's existence which is wanting in
his colleague.
But II you want to see and feel and
know the most prevalent social nuis-
ance here, you must meet with the de-
partment clerk who continually talks
to you of the public business, and
would impress upon you the fact that
he owns the government of the United
States. He doesn't make you angry,
for he is not really harmful, but you
treat him with a charitable pity. Dur
ing the heat of the summer, when
everybody takes vacation, he tells
you that he cant get away" and in
Inmates pretty strongly that it is inn
possible for the department he is in to
get on when he is absent from his desk.
He has actually fooled himself into
this belief, but he does not succeed in
deceiving anyone else. 1t is all right
for him to work over-hours, to go to
the department on Sunday in order to
keep the government constantly under
his wing; but it is a nuisance to have
him talk about it all the time. How
ever, the poor fellow knows nothing
else to talk about. His most precious
possession is an empty pate.
Do you know that man or woman

one of the nuisances of Washington?
No class of people can be more pesti-
lential than the monomaniacs who
write for autographs. They thus an
noy and bother the public men who
live in Washington, and not only in
sist upon having the great mans sigma
ture, but often demand his photograph
as well. 1t must be decided nuisance
for the great man to pay for the photo
graphs if, indeed, he does so and they
are not present from the photograph
err. But the greatest local nuisances of
all are the people who are eternally
boasting of the distinguished people
they know. The man who does this is
not usually an old resident of Wash
ington, because old residents gradual
ly get used to constant contact with
public characters. Of the latter it can
not be said precisely that familiarity
breeds contempt for them, although it
is true that, as no man is hero to his
valet-de-chamber, SO it is unusual to
find people who maintain feeling of
reverence and awe for man they see
constantly, and who is, in private rela-
tions of life, no better than ordinary
people. But old Neutrality-suspicious. don't
