ADJUSTMENTS.
Henry Irving's Better Half.

One explanation of Sir Henry Irving
long separation from his wife is this says
an Eastern paper: Irving married when he
was very young and very poor. He was a
Junior member of a travelling company, and
it was not until his marriage knot had
been firmly tied that he discovered. how
averse to the stage his wife was. She never
lost an opportunity TO run down the pro-
fession. and she made a practice of telling
her husband that he would better turn to
some other profession before it too
late for he could never make an actor.
This sort of thing lasted for several years,
and finally the Irvings agreed TO live apart.
John Toole's brother, a great chum of
Irving, meanwhile had tried to bring hus-
band and wife together again. The recon-
Citation took place on the day of the first
performance of THE Bells" Mrs. Irving
magnanimously agreed to waive her objec
lions to the theater for once and to witness
the greatest triumphs ever scored in
London theater 1t made Irving in a night.
Directly after the performance, flushed and
elated by his triumph Irving hurried to his
wifes rooms. She was sitting up waiting
for him. Well" he exclaimed with the
enthusiasm of a schoolboy, what did you
think of me tonight What did
Think" remarked the wife, in whitening
tone Il thought | had never seen you act
so foolish before" Without another word
Irving turned on his heel and left the
house. That was in 1868 Irving has never
lived with his wife since but it is worth
noting that two days after the actor was
knighted by the Queen his wife's visiting
cards read Lady Irving.

How walker was Hurt.
On a Realty Sale Commission.

Daniel H. Wiles yesterday sued John H.
Vajen for commissions claimed in real
estate sale. The first paragraph of the
complaint alleges that through the efforts
of Wiles, on the request of Vajen, the prop
erty at No. SIS North Meridian street was
sold for $500, and that a reasonable COM
mission on the sale would be $3.50, which
has not been paid although demanded. The
second paragraph alleges that the contract
with Wiles was that he was to sell the
property for such sum as would give
Vajen $4,000 net and that therefore $500 is
due Wiles for making the sale.

It was too late; the mass of stone
work, fifty feet long by twenty in
breadth, was falling. 1t fell, taking
Molas with it.
With a roar like that of thunder it
struck upon the stairway, and, burst
ing into fragments, swept it from end
to end.
In less than minute it was done, the
sounds had died away, and nothing was
left to tell of what had happened ex-
cept little dust and some remains that
had been men. OF all those who stood
upon the stairway only one sur
vived, Don Pedro, who had run
forward. But he was too late,
for though the mass had missed him
single stone struck him across the mid
die, breaking his bones and sweeping
him to the foot of the first fight, but
leaving him alive.
When all was finished and the dust
had fallen to the earth again, the senior
spoke, saying:
"Let us go and search for the body
of our deliverer."
So we went, the three of us, leaving
Zilbalbay in the temple, but we could
not find it; doubtless to this day it
lies buried beneath some of the larger
blocks of masonry. There were other
bodies, indeed, from which we did not
scruple to take the rifles and whatever
else was likely to be of value to us.
Better still, tied among some trees near
the foot of the pyramid we found four
good mules, one of them laden with
ammunition and provisions, for Don
Pedro had come out determined to hunt
us down even if he must follow us for
days.
Having picleted the mules where
they could Craze, we returned to the
temple, bearing with us food and drink,
of which we stood in sore need. On our
way up the steps Don Pedro called to
us from where he lay broken and bleed
ing against an uprooted tree.
Water" he cried, give me water"
and the senior gave him some mixed
with brandy. which we had found upon
the sumpter mule.
Il am dying" moaned the wretch;
''my presentiment has come true, and
death finds me among ruins"
''Give me absolution," he went on.
"For the love of God give me absolu-
ton"
81 cannot" said the senor. 81 have
no authority. Pray to heaven to shrive
you, for your time is short"
Then he turned and went, but for a
long time we were troubled with the
cries and blasphemies of this most evil
man. Indeed, they did not cease until
sunset, when the devil came to claim
his own.

REED AS SPEAKER.
An Endorsement of Republican Reform
Methods.


The honor of the speakership of the
present house was worthiiy conferred
on Thomas B. Reed. 1t is an endorse
ment of the reform in the methods of
procedure in that body which he ac-
complished during his former speaker
ship. That reform was the abolition
of the most pernicious form of ''1ili-
bustering"- which a minority could
prevent the passage of q measure ia
vored by the majority, through break
ing a quorum. When a vote was taken
a roll-call would be demanded. The
minority would refuse to answer to
their names. The vote would thus
show mo quorum" and the minority
would thus rule.
1t is difficult to understand how so
absurd a practice ever was tolerated.
Mr.. Reed took the common-sense
ground that if a member were present,
he was to be counted in determining
whether quorum of the house were
present, whether he voted or not This
was furiously opposed by the demo-
Gratis, and the members On several oc-
casions came perilously near personal
collision. 1t required the absolute
GOODNESS, the iron firmness. of Reed in
the speakers chair to control the tur-
bulent house and bring the matter to
a successful conclusion.
The absolute justice of Reeds ruling
was acknowledged by the democratic
majority in the last congress adopting
the same principle. 1t was the per-
fection of Reeds triumph when his
political opponents thus admitted that
he was right and they were wrong.
So long as the house of representa-
tives endures, it will retain in its pro-
cedure the indelible impression made
by Thomas B. Reed.-Toledo Blade.

Matthews has always been democrat,
and for number OF years has particl-
pated actively in the politics of Albany.
Euring the time that President CIeve-
land resided there as governor he
formed the acquaintance of the leading
colored democrat and admired his abil-
ity. The only reason given by the SEN
ators who opposed his confirmation was
that he was not a resident of the distTict
at the time of his appointment.
