A REMARKABLE SOCIETY.

A very remarkable society which held it's
first meeting of the season in New York the
other day is the Woman's International
Maybrick Association. Its purpose is to
get Mrs. Maybrick out of prison. Among
the members OF its American branch are
Mrs Charles Henrotin, Mrs. Cady Stanton,
Mrs Julia Ward Howe, Mrs Margaret
Sangster, and Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spot
ford. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was leader
in the movement until her death, when
Gail Hamilton took her place, and was
exceedingly active in it until her recent
illness. The persistence of these ladies in
their effort is the more remarkable in that
it does not appear that the object of their
sympathy is woman OF exceptional
deserts. They are battling for Mrs. May
brick not because her record is any better
than it should be, but because they believe
her to have been imprisoned for crime she
did not commit Their belief in this par
ticular seems to be well founded, and now
that the government has changed hands in
England, and there is new Home Secre-
tary, they have good hope of finding him
amenable to reason, and of gaining the
merciful end they have pursued so long.

been heard to remark half audibly, "The
kids knocked 'em good this time, sure,
for a things got to be good if it gets
me. :"
And as the audience dispersed that
night it seemed TO Mr.. Freelance, as he
stood alert and watchful in the lobby,
that there was but one name on every
tongue, and that Kitty's sweet face and
infantile art had made their way into
the very heart Of an always tickle public.
"You were right about her, Billy, "
said Hardup.
81 told you the young one would
bring as good luck. " said old Barney at
the stage door.
1.-THE idea Of making such fuss over
a 7-year-old brat That shows what art
is coming to in this country!' - exclaim-
ed Miss Livingstone as she swept
through the drafty passage, leaving an
odor of sealskin, tuberoses and sachet
powder behind her.
The members Of the stock company
had their Christmas dinner in the ward
robe room between the matinee and the
evening performance, Messrs. Hustle and
Hardup footing the bill and Mr.. Free
lance presiding, with Miss Pearl Living
stone on his right hand and the vener-
able Mr.. Borders on his left. And it is
a matter of record that no toast offered
that evening was drunk with heartier
applause than was the one proposed by
Mr.. Freelance to Kitty Sullivan, "the
mascot of the Jollity theater and the
founder of this feast.

See here. Kitty" exclaimed Mr..
Freelance, touched by the child's grief,
"I'll tell you what I'll do for you, and
what's more, wouldn't do it for any
one else in the company. Are you lis
tening?"
Eyes, " said Kitty, turning her head
around.
well, I'll write in a part specially
for you, and that's something that an
anthor like Sardou or myself rarely
does for any one except a Bernhardt or
a Duse Now, run along and be here to
morrow at IL for rehearsal.
The child darted away, wiping the
last tear from her cheek as she ran, and
Barney said approyingly, That's the
best deed you'll ever do in your life,
Mr. Freelance, and mark my words, the
child bring good luck to the house. y
How Billy succeeded in persuading
the economical Hardup that the piece
would prove a failure unless child
were introduced into it and how he
contriVed to write the part in for her
that very night are matters that had
best be left to conjecture, but the very
next day Kitty received the typewritten
copy of her lines, and rehearsals of "The
Giants Causeway' were carried for
ward under Mr.. Freelance's direction
with the energy and spirit that mark all
of that gentleman g undertakings.
The opening night, Dec "a, found
the house we'll filed with an audience
which made a favorable impression ON
the venerable Mr.. Borders as he looked
out through the peephole in the curtain,
while behind the footlights feverish ex-
citement and anticipation prevailed.
AS for Kitty, she had become so
wrought up over her role-the longest
one she had ever been intrusted with
that she seemed in danger of losing her
balance and forgetting every one of the
lines that she had, by diligent study.
craInmed into her small head She was
standing in the first entrance, with her
hand clasped in that of Mr.. Freelance,
when her cue came, and as she walked
out on the stage, the ideal of childish
loveliness, murmur of delight ran
through every part of the crowded house.
They're going to foreclose the mort
gage on the old mill tomorrow night,
and if that child lives am beggar, "
said the polished, cigarette smoking
villain, and then a youngster in the
parquet set up pitiful howl of despair,
which was followed by a general ripple
of merriment that might have proved
fatal to the piece had not Kitty gone ON
with her lines with the GOODNESS and
gravity of the born and experienced
artist, which she was displaying there
by a presence of mind which won for
her, on her exit, the first real applause
Of the evening.
Kitty Sullivan was, as the eminent
dramatic critic had observed, an old
hand at the business, despite the fact
that she was but years of age, for she
had been born and brought up ON the
stage and was as much at home in the
presence of a great audience as an or
binary child is before a nursery. AS the
piece went on she realized that she was
making a hit-a far greater one than
she had ever made beforehand, young

washed rock near the coast Of Ireland,
and ON this rock was standing the vir-
tuous heroine, just where She had been
left by the villain. The lights grew
dim, the moon arose from beyond the
scene, and the Philadelphia quartet,
stationed behind the scenes, warbled
plaintive Irish melodies.
"Must die here aloneg" moaned the
heroine as the tide rose higher and
higher about the rock ON which she
stood and heavy clouds began TO gather
above her head And just at this mo-
ment, u rowboat, propelled by childish
arms, came swiftly around the rocky
point at the left of the stage, and Kitty
Sullivan, throwing aside the oars, stood
up in the boat with her foot on the
Prov and exclaimed in "A clear, infantile
treble. 81 have como to save you for the
sake of old Ireland ~
Commonplace as it was, with its old,
well worn melodramatic effects Of soft
music and moonlight nevertheless the
situation had taken a strong hold on the
audience, and the sudden appearance of
the sweet faced child, who had charmed
every one during the earlier portions of
the play, sent distinct thrill through
the entire house, aud then came such an
outburst of spontaneous applause as had
not been heard in the Jollity theater for
many year.

Some Matters E2others Should, but Tlaa
All DO Not, Understand.
After a case of measles recently,
the physician called to assure him
self that all was we'll and to make
sure disinfection had been thorough.
The mother of the child had listened
to instructions with one ear, while
the other was bent upon the coming
of carriage wheels to take her shop
ping. She knew all about it, and so
when questioned by the medical
man she replied: "Oh, I burned a
teaspoonful of sulphur and sprinkled
the floor with copperas and carbolic,
and washed the walls with bora1,
and had the maid put all the bed
ding in the tub, and aired the blank
cts, and shook the rugs, and spilled
some canlphOr over the mattress, and
gave the children a good scrubbing
with ammonia in the water. But
Dick doesn't seem to feel quite SO
we'll today, and Nellie is dropping
The doctor listened aghast at this
lingo of distinction. Poor Dick
took cold and was very i'll, and Mel
lie seriously demonstrated her moth
er's perfect knowledge Of chow to
disinfect. ;"
The use of half q dozen disinfect-
ants at once shows ignorance at the
outset. Few chemicals are valuable
as disinfectants, and Of these only
such are worth anything as are in
telligently applied. Some persons
think anything with an odor is srlff-
Gent. Quite the contrary. Corro-
sive sublimate, one of the best for
killing microbes, has little or no
odor. Sulphur is only reliable when
its fumes are very strong and they
permeate every fiber of material and
every crevice of an infected room or
its furniture. Three pounds of pow
dered sulphur are necessary thor
oughly to fumigate an ordinary sized
room. Every crevice should be tight
~ closed, and any draperies which
are not taken down before the case
progressed should be spread out over
a temporary line or on chairs. The
fumes should reach the remotest
part of whatever is in the room.
The sulphur should be put into an
iron pan placed in a tub, with water
in the bottom to prevent fire, and
then isnited with g live coal. The
room should be left closed for ct
least "a hours and we'll aired after
ward.
Sunlight and air are about as es-
sential to disinfection after disease
as is medicine to recovery. It must
be remembered that owing to the
vitality of the contagion of disease
infection is most liable where room
are badly ventilated and health is
not at par. Distinction is often III
effectual because imperfect and con-
sequently should be well understood
before being attempted. If disinfac-
ton was perfectly understood, dis
ease would ere long be stamped out,
for there would not be a second case.
Isolation is the great precautionary
measure, and when the least suspi-
cion of serious trouble is present
there should be no hesitation in Sc
Guiding the patient until positive
diagnosis can be obtained. New

No order can move him. He would

and then she lisped that she thought
she would like some Delaware

turned with the coffee, but the grapes
did not appear. After about 90 min
