n NE of the dramatic weeklies prints a
| paragraph in which the weekly saia-
w. ries paid by Messrs. Jefferson and
Brooks to the members Of The
Rivals company are summed up as
follows: Mr.. jefferson, $4,000; Mr.. Good
win, So 500; Mr.. Crane, $4,000; Mr.. Will
son. 81 $50: the TaberS, $4,000; the Ho
land brothers, $4,000; Mrs. Drew, $500,
and Fannie Rice, $500. This is all very
fine gossip, but it's very far from the
truth. Very few people know all the facts
OF the bookkeeping OF The Rivals tour.
What the Hollands, the TabeTs, Goodwin,
Rice, and Mrs. Drew are getting do not
know, hut jefferson and Crane are not on
salaries. Charles jefferson and Joseph
Brooks manage the tour. Joseph is his
sons partner and Crane is in partnership
with his manager, Joseph Brooks. The
jefferson end of the partnership gets 75
per cent OF the profits; Crane and Brooks
get 20 per cent. Those are facts that may
be counted on.

table-which communicates, of course, with
the back of the stage-a few shots are fired
and an old man aroused from his sleep,
comes upon the stage in his nightgown,
holding lighted candle in his hand and asks
in a sleepy way what all the fuss is about.

colored water for wine and papier-
- mache fowls does no. amou Mt 10 much,
but many plays involve necessity for the
real article. In ''Shore Acres a newly

performance couple OF slices are cut out.
on the contrary, the birth lay cake in Lost
Paradise % is a pasteboad affair, and is
never cut. In Hauptmann's The NeaTers,'
which has not yet come to Washington, a
pretty item of expense is caused by a scene
in which a roomful of furuiture is smashed
beyond repair. The magiclans spend as
much on properties destroyed IN their acts
each night as they would pay for couple
of first-cIass actors salaries. 1t is piece
of theater etiquette that finished prop

They are often expensive.
For several years Weber and Field have
been doing their fiddle trick as an en-
core. A violin is borrowed from the lead
er of the orchestra, the comedians get
into a fight and Field smashcs it over
Weber's head. 1t always raises laugh,
but the encore costs the comedians 81 %
each time, for that is the price of the
cheapest violin. They spend about 500
a year on encores. The LockhaTt elephants
do a restaurant scene in which Boney sIaaS Sh-

TWO Missing Sheets.

On Tuesday, February 5th, the Sussex
Levy Court met at Georgetown and re-
ceived aud accepted the assessments OF
the different assessors. The next day
the lists were given to the Clerk of the
Peace for saie-keeping The following
Tuesday the Levy Court was again
in session and on the following Fri
day they requested the Clerk Of
the Peace to send them the assessment
lists. When they came to the Levy
Court two pages Of Seaford list had been
cut out and where they are or WHO had
committed the act was unknown. These
two pages contained sixty three names
and fifty-eight OF thein were Republicans
and five were Democrats A resolution
was at once unanimously passed that
these sixiy-three names should he added,
but how this is to be done if the Clerk
of the Peace does not do 1t is the ques
ton that worries a good many people
IN Sussex On Tuesday last the Levy
Court was again in session but E Hous
ton, the Clerk of the Peace, was not in
Georgetown, as he was reported to be
unwell Il remains to be seen whether
he will be well euongo or not next
Tuesday to be at his office that these
names may DO put back on the lists, as
they should be. This seems like another
trick of the Democracy of Delaware tc
rob their Republican opponents. Who
hid access to the lists alter they were
placed III the hands of Mr.. Houston

Luke, chapter Z, verses IS to IS.
The scene is from the Jewish standpoint
"The Lord came to his own and his own
earthly people, Jews received him not"
They questioned Him and He taught them
and us too-largely in parallels. Our
responsibility is to hear aud understand
them. How shall we understand seeing
that "the natural man discerneth not the
things of Cod?" 'He cannot know them
because they are spiritually discerned."
For this discenment submission to God IS /
a prerequisite. The lawyers question was,
''what shall | do to inherit eternal life ?
Jesus answered him, what is written in the
law? The lawyer was Jew, under law,
and not a christian, and he answered,
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy Gcd with
all thv heart and with all thy soul and'with
all thy strength and with all thy mind and
thy mel shbor as myself" Jesus said unto
him, This do ami thou shalt live" but
who ever did it? Not one single human
being that e7ey kvea and this fact con-
dennis and judges every man that lives, OF
ever did, or ever will live This is pre-
cissIy what the law was given for; to judge
and condemn, that every man should be
made to realize his need of a Saviour The
law slavs us, because we are conscious
that we do not, and caunot, meet its re-
quirements Il was our schoolmaster until

A Painful Accident.

Asbury Smith, on Friday night last
met with a peculiar and painful accident.
After he had retired his wife remembered
she bad failed to lock one Of the doors
down stairs. Mr.. Smith arose from his
bed aud started down the stairway hur
ridly. When he neared the bottom of
the stairway he felt q sharp pain in his
right foot and at the same moment he
fell to the foot of the stairway. A light
was hastily procured and an examina-
ton made, when an oil can was found
securely imbedded in his heel Consid-
cradle force was exerted in removing it
as it was securely fastened to a depth OF
two inches Mrs Smith had forgotten
that she had left he sewing machine oil
can on the stairway and the sharp top
was what Mr.. Smith had come down
upou in his descent. The wound is a
painful one and Mr. Smith has suffered
as a result. No serious injury was iu-
flicted, however, and in few more DAYS
it is hoped the wound will have healed

parable is the Lords answer "A man
went d0zH from Jerusalem-the city Of
God-to Jericho, the worlds city, and fell
among thieves who stripped and wounded
him and left him half dead" This is fig
ure of a sinner in his sins: The Priest and
the levites both servants Of God under the
law. and representatives. of the law, pass
by him on either side, had no compassion
and could do nothing for him The law
is memorable and admits of no compassion.
These then could do nothing for the poor,
wounded, half dead and totally helpless sin
ner; they had no help for him But the
Good Samaritan-even the Lord Jesus
himself-came that ways and had COM
passion on him-did not wait to be APP
peaIed to; indeed the poor man was too
nearly dead to make an appeal-went to
him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil
and wine, and sat him on his own beast,
brought him to an inu and took care Of
him. That's what the blessed Lord does
for the sinner He binds up his wounds
made by sin, pours in the oil Of the Holy
Spirit,wth the wine of Joy and gladness,
and with the power of God he brings him
to a place of rest and refreshment But
the good Samaritan does even more than
this; He provides for all the wants OF the
poor helpless one, left him in the place OF
rest and refreshment which he had brought
him into, and Became responsible f0' ms
future, even until He Himself should re
turn for him
Go then, dear reader, and do likewise,
if you can Z"
This is the blessed work which the Lord |
Jesus Christ delights to do for all poor,
wounded half dead sinners. The law can /
do nothing for them; not because it is not |
good and holy and true; but because of the |
inherent depravity of human nature which
is incapable of Keeping it. Salvation is
by the favor of God through faith, to
every one that believeth This work
Of love and compassion the blessed Son of
God is always waiting to bestow upon any
poor sinner ready and willing to receive it.
Who will refuse the blessed service?
Yours For the Truth,
S PRETTYMAN.

Frank Collins, of Milford last week in

down the bay because of ice, and towed
up 10 Philadelphia the day before-wEich
had exhausted the captains ready cash.
At this time Frank and William Collins
demanded their months wages. aud, not
getting it at once, they went before the
United States Marshal aud libeled the
vessel. Mr. S. Short, one of the
owners, arrived in the city that day and
had the vessel released and the case held
for court at a cost of $40 so Both young
men were left stranded in Philadelphia
without a cent-aud they deserved to be.
Had they waited few hours their money
would have been forthcoming. Now the
vessel owners have given positive orders
that these Collins boys shall not be en-
ployed on any vessel sailing from Mil
