Faust ~

Those who let the rain keep them away
from Faust last evening, made Il great
mistake The presentation of that power
full work of life, both of the upper side and
the under side, was given by Lewis Morri-
son and his company, in superior man
ner, and the production, taken as whole
was one of the best that has ever been
seen in this city.
There was little done to adversely criti
cize, and, likewise, little which was left
undone, and the work throughout was of
a decidedly high order.
The part of Mephisto was taken by
Lewis Morrison in mastery fashion,
which was no more or less than was ex-
pccted of him. His company, too, was ex-
cellent, and most satisfactory, receiving
much enthusiastic applause.
Florence Roberts played the part of
Marguerite with commendable forcs and
delicacy, and was evenly good, through
out. White Whittlesey was an excellent
Faust and showed thorough understand
ing of his part.
The scenic effects were superb and were
received with great applause. The church
scene in the first act was deeply impress
sive, the sweet sound of the organ and the
chimes making the effect perfect.
The Broken scene, with the wicrd
lightning and ghoulsh demons prowling
about, gave decidedly realistic impress
ion Of the hateful and hideous inferno.
The attendance was not nearly as large
as it would have been had the weather
been more favorable. but what it lacked
In size, it made up in appreciation, and
there was much to appreciate.
With the elaborate scenery and good
work of the company, presentation was
offered. last evening, which was truly OF
a superior character.

Maurice Iugraham strayed into Gou- pills, as he did nearly every day, in or der to indulge in a quarter hour of from which he had been exiled by means of rich legacy. When one falls heir to the estate of childless uncle worth several millions it de- pTives him of the delicious malseshifts and economies and excursions of the guild of painters It has been said that champagne tastes and beer income are cause of miseries. But an income which seems toconstrain to champagne all the time might prove equally oppressive. Ingraham was conscious that the men who had worked beside him in a certain famous studio in Paris, now that he was rich, tried very hard to treat him in the old cordial way. But he felt the patronage of art toward money, which is loftier than that of money toward art
 That morning he spied at Coughs n photograph of moderate dimensions, q landscape signed by former fellow stHdent of his, Victor Forsythe. Their friendship had continued, but pallidly md irtermittently. Forsythe had mar ried; the wife was said to be a very nice girl, but not at all of the smart set. In graham had sent a<rather expensive wedding gift and had meant to pay a visit. Then he heard that the Forsythes were out of town for the summer Evi- dently the artist had profited by his vacation; the photograph from his painting showed work of rare quality. It was riverside meadow, with clump of willows; the stream had shadowy depths and luminous cd- dies; some sheep were pasturing in the foreground. Nothing could be more simple aad serene than this idyllic landscape-yet Ingraham's first impress sion was of something grandiose. After a moment this quality disappeare"; |; but if he turned away his gaze and then looked afresh at the picture it al ways made the same effect upon him. He decided that it was something about the backgrounds; there were vague, large curves, perhaps of clouds or of distant hills; at all event, they were extraordinarily imposing in their faint and tenuous suggestions of immensity.
 ''There is one vulgar consolation re- served for the bondholder," said Ingra- ham humbly to himself. "He can buy what pleases him and at the same time encourage art"
 He at once decided to lunch at an Italian restaurant frequented by the r,,ainfar clioue who liked tO recall the impressions of sketching tour that they had once made in body to Rome ,snd to talk of the coloring of the great

 'As you say"
 Ingraham drew out his check book, signed page, tore it off and handed it to Forsythe.
 "Oh, carte blanche is too much" pro- tested the artist.
 ''Too little, by love! want that landscape. have ordered one of the photographs framed and sent to my rooms; but, of course, it must lack the touch and the colors of the real thing the silvery green of the willows, the olive depths and the amber lights ot the water, the blue of the marsh lilies and of the heavens above them"

 "All right, the coloring is your little secret. But have not yet spoken of the real wonder of yourNYprk, For sythe. Willows and streams end sheep feeding have been seen before now. But there's more to it than that. You have painted in there some great dim curves. They are more than human; they are titanic, as if you had seen for one inspired moment the great earth mother herself behind her creation something, as Swinburne says: The solemn. slope of mighty limbs asleep. am bound to admit, however, that now you see it and now you don't, noted the rich man, ashamed to be caught in rapturous citation of poe try. Anyhow, Forsythe, that picture | is like glimpse into the morning ot the world, the primeval myths"
 Whereupon the artist laughed gayly, filled out the check with very moder- ate figures and handed it back to 1n' graham.
 You shall have the replica, my dear fellow; but I don't take 'the money be- forehand. Thank you for all the nice things you have been saying. But upon my word, I'm not responsible for the titanic curves They were acci' dental-no, not that, either-incidental. They were, in fact, caused by the par. ticular canvas, so to speak"
 Nonsense, that cannot be so. How ever, to content you, I will admit that you painted better than you knew"

Bachelor of Vieupa Used to Buy Three

 There are so many sham misogynists about in this affectedly cynical age that one can hardly help extending a measure of admiration to the thorough ness and consistency of certain rich old Viennese bachelor, whose death was announced the other day.
 In the case of this highly eccentric old gentleman, horror and dread of our unfortunate sex had become a positive whenever he went to a place of public entertainment he took the precaution of booking three seats, in the center one of which he seated himself, leaving those on each side vacant, so as to avoid all risk of being obliged to sit next to woman!
 He even carried his extraordinary craze beyond the grave, by leaving in- structions that no woman was to be buried either to the right or left of him, even if it should be necessary to purchase three graves in order to in- sure the carrying out of his strange behest.
 Perhaps the most curious thing in the whole strange story is the state ment that this agreeable old gentle man left behind him large bundle of letters, which he had grimly indorsed: Attempts made by my family to put me under the yoke of matrimony."
 As he appears to have been very wealthy man, this alleged action on the part of his relatives seems by no means easy to explain. Pic torial.

price had been set long ago.
 Lady Methwick piteously besought her husband to send the money at once.
 ''They will kill my darling boy, and you-you-will have sent him to his death"
 Her daughters, Hon. Agatha, Ondine and Clovis, added their agonized en- treaties; indeed, so carried away were they by their feelings that they actual ly offered to go without new hats and dresses for the next twelve months, in order to contribute to the ransom money. But his lordship did not be- lieve in giving way at once. Doubtless a lesser sum would be accepted, and while negotiations were in progress and there was a chance of the ransom being ultimately paid, he did not think his son would be in any danger. So he sent an offer of two thousand pounds sterling. The reply to this was curt refusal, and a postscript added in Rob ert Spenceley's handwriting was: Father, send soon; feel sure they will Tot take less" But still Lord Meth wick would not give in without effort to reduce the amount, and he increased his offer to two thousand five hundred pounds sterling.
