Oscar wilde In Prison.

Concerning Oscar Wilde's life in
prison the forthcoming Bookman will
say:
So many conflicting accounts Of tho
prison life of Oscar Wilde and OF his
condition have been published. that
we feel bound to set forth statement
OF the actual facts. our informant be-
ing an English official. whose position
has made him personally cognizant Of
them. From this source we learn that
Mr.. Wilde's physical state is very dis
tressing. He is unable to assimilate
FOOD; and an enteric disorder which
mas become chronic has reduced him
10 condition of great weakness. He
Is governed by the silent system. and
thls Is rigidly enforced. so much so
That he has several times been pun
ished for half involuntarily turning
his head in chapel to get a glimpse Of
the person seated beside him. We were
inquisitive enough to ask the nature
OF his punishment on these occasions
and were told that il consisted OF hav-
ing his rug taken from him. The
rug in question is strip of rag car
pct, which serves as substitute for
mattress, being spread upon the SUR
race OF deal door. which is his only

he sleeps upon the bare planks. The
gentleman who made these statements
Is persuaded that Wilde will lose either
MS life or his reason as the result of
MS punishment; but he probably I'M
der-rates the extent OF human endur-
ance. The sentence, under the English
system OF communication. has only six
months more to run. and it is general
~ understood that at Its expiration
Mrs. Wilde will rejoin her husband

Women who are in straits for unique
methods of entertaining might do worse
than to listen here, says the Philadel-
phia Press. The scene is laid in Phila-
delphia and the action in all its detail
transpired in the heart of this city, so
proverbially far-famed for the slow
ness of its social gait and limitations Of
its pleasuregoing capacities. There
was a certain club OF "blase" bachelors
whose average age was probably about
IS. Those worn-out veterans. who al
ready know all there is to know, deter
mined 10 give a dinner. which should
be distinctly unique. so for weeks the
prime movers thereof cast about them
for the happy thought which would in
sure the success of their feed" At
last they found it. Then they bid some
choice and favored brother spirits to
the feast, demanding of them o,ly one
thing. e., that each guest should
bring with him something he had
stolen. The night arrived and with il
the company, and then the scheme upon
which the novelty of the entertainment
depended WIS put into execution. AS
each man CD took his place he was
asked TO produce his transferred contri-
button. Immediately forth from every
pocket came spoon. It is safe TO say
that all the prominent eating houses OF
the city were represented in that col
lection OF souvenirs. the favorites being
in the lead, OF course. One ice-cream
soda stand was all unwittingly poorer
by six of these donated spoons. And

tonian. 1t was in Boston that she was
educated, and It was in school recita-
tions that she first showed her natural
bent. One of her first teachers was
Lewis Il. Monroe, one of the most
charming of men and possessing as Il
teacher both magnetism and enthusi-
asm. Hosts OF Boston's men ami
women who were boys and girls in the
sixties and early seventies remember
him with affection to-day, although
they saw him only occasionally. His
rare visits and his instruction were
among the brightest hours of their
school days. To Prof. Monroe, who,
like so many of the best beloved. was
gathered into the majority much too
soon in his career, Miss Cayvan owed
much. She was only fourteen, and she
may possibly have been even younger
than that, when she went out into the
world TO win independence, reciting.
She was at all events still In school
and remained there several years after
she had won reputation as an elocu-
ZIONIST. X. NJ. Field offered TO make
her, as soon as her school days were
over, a member OF the historic Muse
UNI company, then in its prime. But
that was not to be. Prof. Monroe had
always predicted that her ultimate fate
would be the theater. Her second offer
came to her while she was visiting her
teacher at his summer home in Dublin.
N. III. 1t was made her by Steele Mae
kaye, then about to open the Madison
Square theater. She declined 1t from
timidity. 1t was something OF coin
cidence that she should have become
later the bright and shining light OF
the Lyceum theater, New York. which
was Mackaye's next venture.
