NEW COLLECTING MANIA.
1t Involves Defrauding the Railway
Over Which One Travels

Sir Walter Besant has found a Eew kind
or collecting mania. 1t is that OF collect
Ing railway tickets. As IL has long been
the unalterable resolution, as everybody
knows, ON the part OF the railway COIN
panies TO collect their tickets for them
selves, the collection by private hands
requires skill, boldness and ingenuity. The
whole difficulty is TO get past the ticket
collector. This is attempted, sometimes
successfully, learn from an ardent vir-
tuoso in railway tickets, in sevs-1l ways.
sa ays Il New York Press writer.
You may rush him in The crowd: you
may walk past him with familiar nod -
that of the seasUn ticket holder; you ma y
liDecr 10 the last, and until the ticket
collector has gone; you may pretend that
you have already given it up: you may
even, as is ruinored Concerning one en-
thusiast. pretend that you have lost it,
and pay your fare over again.
IAN collecting, except that of collect
Ing gold Coins OF the present reign, is
vanity, but really the vanity OF collecting
railway tickets is the nest egregious."

situation by doing things that involve Il sol

"A quarter II century ago was praCtic-

my intimate friends was young merchant
who had apparently been doing a very sue
Cessful business for several years. HIS cred
1t was as good as almost anybody's iu the

there came to me the principals OF two large
Portland firms, to whom my friend was in
debted and they requested an lniInedlateat-

II protested that such "A course was IN
Just and unnecessary. Then one OF the
merchants explained that a day or .wo
previous he had received a letter from
their debtor in which he casually men
toned some proposed action OF his which

money. He didn't believe the man really
intended any such outlay, and he asked
himself, Why has he mentioned this?'
Conferring with his neighbor, he found
the young man had at the same time
written him an exactly similar letter.
That was enough, and they decided to sue.
Feeling almost sure they were wrong, l
had the attachment made so secretly that
none knew OF it except those Immediately
concerned.
The young merchant was immensely
surprised and at once got friends to be-
come his security on the Portland debts.
But the developments OF the next lew
months showed conclusively that the mer-
chants had rightly read the meaning of
the unusual letter and that their debtors
affairs were at that time rotten to the
core. Only their prompt action saved
their claims, which together amounted to
something more than $1,000

D BIN HONOR OF THE QUEEN THE FRAN[EY SEASON
AN EXCELLENT COMPANY OF
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
The Season Seat Sale to Open Next
Monday-The Secret of Frawley's
Success-Some Good Plays.

The demand for seats for the Fraw
ley engagement is so great that the
managers have decided to hold a sale
of season tickets. The sale will COM
mence next monday morning. Twelve
performances will he given. Season
tickets will be sold for $500 and
$1,000 respectively.
The secret of the success of the
Frawlev Company is said to be due
to the fact that Manager Daniel Fraw-
ley, having collected a company of
the most talented players which
money could Induce TO come together,
was careful to supply them with
Diays which should be free from
strained situations or obnoxious senti-
ments and suggestions; and al the =
same time depict life in cultured So
ciety only. He believes that the hero
can be as manly in broadelqth as in,
fustian, the william as wicked with
polite as with rough, uncouth lam
SudSts lut SullVl as httllN
in silks as i'm rags. and the comedian
be as funny in neat attire as in loud
checks and stripes. In this day when
education and refinement is at least
understood even by the gallery gods,
it is certainly pleasure to witness
performance where the characters
depicted are ladies and gentlemen. 1t
is undoubtedly more difficult to OBJ
tain strong dramatic situations and
laughable scenes, without the so
called picturesque" surroundings of
the common and vulgar, but then it is
certainly more effective and accept
able to the public at large. All the
plays to he presented here are what
the rough, bluff and bury members
of the profession are wont to sneer-
ingly designate as dress coat pieces"
They represent the aristocracy of the
drama. and are equally pleasing to all
classes. 1t certainly does not lessen
the attractiveness of a good play If
all the costumes of the ladies are ex-
quisite gems of the modiste's skill.
and the clothing of the men is of fine
texture and worn without suggestion
of unfamliarity with its wearer.

BALLATER, Sept. esterday
Queen Victoria tied the longest reign

long lived ancestor, and kilograms of
congratulation are pouring in upon
her from every quarter of the earth.
Since her coronation She has been con
tnually discharging the functions OF
her great office. whereas in the case
of George III there was a considerable
period during which the sovereign
was insane and a regent ruled in his
place.
The Mayors of London and other
English cities wired messages to the
Queen at Balmoral this morning con.
graduating her Majesty upon having
occupied the throne longer than any
other British sovereign. Church bell:
throughout the kingdom were rune

accordance with the desire of the
! Queen. the occasion will not be eel
ebated officially until 1897, when hel
Majesty viii Fave completed the six
tieth year of her reign.
At noon the members of the Stool
Exchange and merchants and theil
employees in many salesrooms sus
pended business, while they sang the
national anthem"
Most of the papers of Great Britain
and Canada today contain articles re
viewing Queen Nictorias brilliant
reign and the vast vhanges that have
| marked her sway. An breathe OF
earnest prayer that she may long b,
permitted to reign over a united, fire,
and righteous empire.
