The Mask and Wig Club-No mask and
wig club has ever created such furore in
this city as has the Mask and Wig Club
Of the University of Pennsylvania. Their
coming production has caused the greatest
amount of interest and speculation and
that there will be a crowded house at the
Academy of Music tonight is assured. They
will present for the first time in this city,
its latest success, "kenilworth," in which
the scenery is beautiful, the costumes be-
yond reproach and the dancing new, artis-
tic and novel. The book of the operetta is
lively and bright. and the music is exceed
ingly catchy. The journey of the Penn
sylvania boys to this city is always a So
ciety event, and this time will be no excep-
in this regard. A large following of col
lege admirers will help to swell the num-
ber of those who attend the show, and al
together it will be one of the most sue
cessful and pleasing college ventures ever
presented in Washington.
Miss Mason's Lecture.-The lecture by
Miss Mason at the Shoreham Hotel yes
terlay morning. upon Soul Expression in
the Speaking Voice and Art of Conversa-
tion," was well attended by many promi-
Lent ladies of the city, among them Mrs.
Carlisle, Mrs. Sherman, Miss Hamilton and
Mrs. and Miss Loring of Chicago. Her
philosophy of the beauties Of the speaking
voice was keenly appreciated, and many
excellent points given for the development
of the lost art of conversation among
them. Our predominant pitch of voice, ac-
cerding to Miss Mason, is a record Of our
habitual thought, which is our character
The national popularity of pitch of the
American wonen's voices is due to our
mode of life. America is in the stage of ef-
fort, not old enough to be even reposeful in
body and its anxiety is manifested in this
peculiar pitch. To find a heart that pos
sesses hope and faith in people and condi-
ticns is to find a voice that is both music
to our ears and our souls Speech culture
should be one of the studies most desired.
Conversationalists need to know at what
point one should grow and blend into an
other channel. To say Of one that she
listens calmly, with interest and without
affectation, is the highest tribute that can
be paid. Miss Mason's voice possesses that
musical quality. in both speech and song.
The affair was given under the patronage
Of Mrs. Carlisle. Mrs. Gresham and Mrs.
Pissell.
Miss Benfey's Readings-The first of q
course of dramatic reading was given by
MisS Ida Bentley at the Memorial Luth-

ing "A Tale Of Two Cities" Miss Ben
fey viii give readings on the works of
Victor Hugo. George Eliot and Charles
Dickenss and has in preparation the most
Interesting of all Biblical stories, Job"
Her style Of delivery Is pleasing and her
Interpretation is unusually good. Another
reading will be given this afternoon at
o'clock at the same place.

Turnpilkes I'm Kentucky.

Major w. II. Crump, Of Kentucky
in an address before the national good
roads conference, said of the road sys-
tenn Of that State: In the blue grass dis
trict there are fifteen counties In which
are many macadam roads. These are
turnpikes with tollgates at short in
teryals. The turnpike bonds are
the most valuable securities In the
State. He told how the roads in his
county, Warren, had been made good
from an old WORKOUT turnpike bed by
putting on a crown Of cracked stones
at cost Of only $500 mile. They also
use gravel. They have about 100 miles
Of macadam and graveled road. They
expended 100000 on the roads. When
they began the rate of tax was 30 cents
on 500. When the work was COM
plete the tax was only Is cents, be-
cause Of the increased value of the
property. Adjoining counties, seeing
these advantages, demanded the same
improvement. They are now about to
establish road supervisor to look af-
ter the roads in the county. They pro-
pose to expend from $4,000 to $4,000
q year on their roads. This could be
done with very small taxation. Pris-
oners in the county Jail were made to
work on the roads.

This Tramp Was "An Right. !"

DR.. 70. Benjamin Andrews, president
of the Brown University, a delegate to
the Brussels monetary conference and
a well-known writer on social econom-
ic and religious subjects, has never
been accused Of being a dandy, and he
delights in doing just such things as is
told herewith. The home delegation to
the big Baptist anniversary have got
back, and they know something funny.
This is what 1t is: AS the Baptist train
en- route swung by q little station up in
York State the eagle-eyed operator dis
covered the figure of a man slowed
away on the rear platform, hat pulled
down over his eyes, safe from view and
everything else except the curling dust
and flying pebbles. SO the operator
wired ahead to the next station as fol-
lows: "Look out for tramp ON No. SO,
rear platform. Jones'" The operator
at the next station promptly pulled up
the train, and the conductor went to the
rear to investigate. There was the man
"a big, broad-shouldered fellow, his
hat pulled down over his eyes, covered
with dust, and so generally rough and
tough looking that the conductor didn't
banker after tackle. So he sent for
the brakeman. What followed is indl-
Gated by the dispatch which Operator
Jones at the back station received
few minutes after from his brother OPP
orator. Here 1t is: TRAMP all right.
Going to the Baptist conference with a
ticket. Takes his water straight, andis

1t is very singular thing that the
failure of bill seeking to encourage
the construction and maintenance of
good roads in rural counties OF Illinois
should be signalized rs great tri-
umph for the farmers over the bicy-
clists. 1t is true that in pursuit Of their
hump-backed sport the bieycllsts pre-
fer q hard, smooth road to one which Is
too soft to be land and too thick to be
water But the bicyclist does not have
to ride. He rides chiefly for fun and
can defer his pleasure until the roads
dry up.
To the farmer, however, good roads
are u vital necessity. AS the roads
stand to-day the farmer Is blockaded
by mud a great part Of the year, and
1t often costs him more to get his crops
from his farm to the railroad station
than from the station to market, sew
eral hundred miles away, Yet year af-
ter year he goes on building quagmlres
and calling them roads and denounc-
ing the railroad companies for charg-
ing extravaganza freight rates. If he
only knewit his penny-wise and pound
foolish policy in the matter Of road
building Is what has fastened the col
lar Of railroad domination so securely
about his neck, BY letting the public
highways which all may freely use
go to ruin and become impossible the
farmer has forced himself and his
neighbors to use the highways con-
trolled by railroad corporations, for
the use of which all must pay and pay
heavily. The Illinois farmers who so
eagerly wish to defeat measures pro-
viding that good roads may be CON
structed ought to find a certain signifl-
canoe in the fact that in the last,
where the effort for the Improvement
of country highways has made great
er progress, the strongest influence ar
rayed against good road bills is that Of
the railroads.
Nowhere can unscientlflcally made
roads be worse than in Illinois, for the
soft rich soil Of our prairies is quickly
turned into mire by a DRILLING rain.
But nowhere can roads be scientifically
built as cheaply as in this State, level
as n barn floor and well provided with
stone. The farming community will
sorely blunder IL 1t permits another
Legislature to go out Of existence with
out the enactment Of a good-roads law.

The Trick of n Magician and a Simple
Explanation of the Same.

The Trick Of Magician and Simple
Explanation of the Same.
Among interesting things to be seen
at the Eden Musee New York, perhaps
one Of the most curious and at the
same time scientific is the weird spec
tacle entitled "She," exhibited by Pow
ell, the well-known lllusionlst, and sug-
gested by the cave scene In Rider Hag-
CARDS celebrated novel, "She," says
the Scientific American. In this scene
q young lady mounts a table arranged
In an alcove formed of a folding screen.
Above the victim is suspended a cylin-
drical cloth screen. The screen is
lowered to the level of the table, COM
pletely incloslng the subject. The Ia.
bic apparent y has four legs, and four
candles shown beneath 1t indicate that
the space underneath the table is open
and clear. The cylindrical screen Is
shown to be entire, with openings only
at the upper and lower ends, and no
openings are seen in the folding screen
which partly surrounds the table. Up
on the firing of a pistol the occupant
Of the table is ignlted, and smoke and
flame bursting from the screen indi-
cate that the work of destruction Is
going on within. When the fire Is
burned out the screen Is lifted and
nothing remains upon the table but
few smoulderlng embers and a pile of
bones surmounted by a skull. Close
observation does not reveal any way of
escape for the young woma. 1t IL,
however, obvious that the magician
cannot afford to sacrifice such a subject
every evening, and the spectators are
forced to conclude that the whole affair
is very clever trick. In fact, It Is
simply modification Of the beheadod
lady and numerous other tricks based
upon the use of plain mirrors.
The table has but two legs, the 9th,
err two which appear being simply re-
Elections. The central standard sup
ports but two candles, the other two
being reflections. Underneath the table
and converglng at the central standard
are arranged two plain mirrors at an
angle Of 90 degrees with each other,
and As degrees with the side panels oc
the screen. BY means Of this arrange
ment the side panels, which are of the
same color as the central or back panel,
are reflected In the mirror and appear
as n continuation Of the back panel.
The triangular box, Of which the mir
rors form two sides, has a top COM
posed In part of the table top and in
part of mirror sections for rejecting
the back panel, or with n covering OF
the same color as the back panel, The
operation Of the apparatus Is now OBJ
vlous. When the victim is inclosed by
the cylindrical screen she Immediately
escapes through trap door In the table
top, places the bones and the fire. works
upon the table, aud at the firing of the
pistol ignltes the latter and retires,
closing the trap door after her.

What They Moan.

Good roads mean a great deal more
than mere convenience. They mean
more than saving money, which, how
ever, is matter Of no small impor-
lance. They mean a more intimate re-
lationship between the city and coun-
try people, to the mutual advantage
Of both. They mean that living in the
country for six months in the year
shall not be practical isolation. Poor
roads keep the farmer and his family
at home at that season Of the year
when they have the most leisure, when
time hangs heavily, when 1t could and
would add to their enjoyment social
ly and advantage educationally If a
frequent drive to the town or city or a
visit among the neighbors and friends
living at a distance Of a few miles
could be taken.

A Momentons Lonrnev.

The Bayarian master of the horse,
Count Make Won Holnstein, whose
death has just been announced, took
part in the Franco-German war and
will be remembered as the bearer of
the historic letter from Prince Bis
marck to the late King Louis Of Bava-
ria in December, 1870. This led King
Louis to entreat the King of Prussia
to take the title German Emperor and
he sent letter to that effect by the
same messenger, who journeyed from
Munich to Versailles without stopping.
The double journey was accomplished
on horseback in six days and won for
the count high encomium from Prince
Bismarck.

Catching a Deer by Hand.

A few days ago John Vert was in the
woods in the east end Of Miles town
ship, when he heard the approach Of
dogs after deer. Stationing himself
behind a stout sapling, he soon observ-
ed the dogs and deer coming along, the
deer considerably run down, and that
it was coming quite close to him and
the sapling. 1t was buck, and as he
passed the tree Vert reached out and
caught it by the horns, and with the
other arm around the sapling held the
deer against the tree Then came the
fix-to let go his hold the deer would
go for Vert and make 1t hot for him,
and he could not hold on to him for
ever. Here was the dilemma. Fortu-
nately, Nathaniel Hawk came that way
and, seeing the box the man Ind deer
were in, Hawk, with dirk, proceeded
to cut the deer's throat, but a hind leg
of the animal soon came along and sent
the knife a-kiting out of Hawks hand.
A Barlow was then brought into reQul
sition and with this they managed to
saw off the bucks throat.-Center Hah
