DOBB'S FERRY.
"For wherever you may 20
You hear people tell each other.

She's Dobbs girl, don't you know
1t Is to be hoped that the above extract
from one of our school songs will lead
people to draw only the most charming
Dobbs girl wherever she may be.
Right here let me express the hope that
the person who called Dobbs Ferry "a
sort of reform school, has been complete
ly disillusionized. One of the criticisms
most frequently heard is "but Dobbs Is
such a strict school; you have so many
rules" True. but II the persons who
speak thus could so to that village-drive
up to the school and get even a glimpse OF
the home life of Miss Masters and her
family of about eighty girls-I feel quite
confident that they would see the

at least.
Girls from the north and south. east
and west. from Christian and non-Chris-
tian homes-spoiled girls and those Just
the reverse-could they be governed with
out some regulations? i wish the persons
who think so would try 1t.
The chief factor In the Dobbs Ferry
school is Miss Masters herself; she Is the
main spring Of the entire place-she. with
the help of her dear mother and Miss SAL
lie Master have built up the school to the
place where 1t now stands-in the front
rank of girls boarding schools-some Of
us are prejudced enough to think that
our Alma Mater leads them all.
ADVANTAGES OF DOBBS FERRY.
Dobbs Ferry is situated on the eastern
bank of the Hudson about forty-five min
utes ride from New York. The life there
Is quiet, of course; we are free from the
confinement of a city block-out in the
country. where we can breathe the fresh
air, pure and unadulterated-but still near
enough to New York to be able to enjoy
many of the pleasures which pass by our
little village.
The school consists of six buildings, four

AS far as the course of study is con-
cerned, a girl may start in the lowest
grade and step by step be prepared for
college.
Life at Dobbs is intended to make girl
independent. ready for her future career;
it is Miss Masters aim to develop the best
qualities in each one of those entrusted
to her care and send them out into the
world better fitted for lifes duties for
having been under the influences which
are potent at our dear old Dobb's Ferry.

DAISY DIMPLE.

Little dainty Daisy Dimple,
How the wind, your tresses wimple.
How your pretty red lips part;
Somehow, you have caught my heart.
Such an old heart too, my darling,
Pierced through and through with
darts,
Every day / come to WOO you
Bring you candy. toys and tartA
And you drive me for a pony
In a harness made of straps
Or you dress me up, so silly
In tall peaked paper caps.
But for all this. Daisy Dimple.
I, my payment shall not miss.
You must always give at parting
Just simple little kiss.

THE JOURNALS CAMPAIGN FUND.

To the Editor: am one of those who
believe that the free coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to / by the
United States independently is NOR
ally. financially and politically right.
[ believe such action can be supported
fundamentally historically, theoreti-
cally and practically. / believe the
more the subject is discussed and
studied, the more free silver voters
thel will be. The Republican party
with almost an unlimited supply of
money are filling the country with
gold standard literature. The only
way we can counteract the effect of
this is to distribute literature on the
side of free silver and the double stand
ard.
The New York Journal is making a
noble effort in this direction. Up to
the Goth inst it had raised $10,625.72 in
small contributions. | do not think
we fully appreciate the value of this
effort. 1t should be encouraged in ey-
cry way. / suggest that in every town
in tffis State some one undertake to
raise small sum, or if possible large
sum, and forward it t. the Journal,
the editor of which has literally prom
ised to give a like sum on his own ac-
coun-. * .r not inteaded that anyone
should burden himself to subscribe to
this fund. as we have our own cam
paign expenses to meet at home, but
the people are in earnest, and have an
abiding faith and interest in the ques-
tion, and they will gladly give five or
ten cents, rs or $1.0O. The people are
ready and willing to give, but in each
community some one must take up
the collection. No sum is too small
to give.
Ilhope you will urge upon your read
ers to adopt this plan. BY few hours
work almost any one can raise SIS or
$40 in 5, 10 and rs cents contributions.
These sums can be sent to w. r.

ENTERTAINMENT.
Hyperion,


 "The Lady Slavey" will be presented at the Hyperion this and tomorrow evenings, with matinee tomorrow. The New York Telegram says: "The Lady Slavey" is between a burlesque and a musical comedy with, perhaps, a strong leaning toward the former. There is a story and rather a pretty one, but it is not absolutely essential to the success of the entertainment. The piece Is bright and lively and is replete with music and dancing and there is but one speciality introduced. The company is as lively as the play. The burden of the work falls on Dan Daily, Marie Dressler, Charles Danby, Charles Kirke and Richard Carle. All of these people are we'll and favor ably known to the public. Marie Dressler has a more prominent role than she has ever before played here. She surprised many by her agility, her sprightly dancing and her burlesque actlng. Inefe was no lack or acton when she was on the stage, and her dance with MT. Daily took the house by storm. MT. Daily was as comical as ever and he was called out again and again The work of Miss Duryea, MT. Danby, MT. Kirke, MT Carle and many others in the long bill is worthy of mention, and the chorus is composed of pretty faces and tuneful voices. During the second act a pretty dance was given by La Petite Adelaide. Sale of seats now open.

Grand Opera House.

John w. Isham's "Octoroons" open ed three days engagement at the Grand opera house last evening before large audience The performance opens with an original skit in which are introduced numerous songs and dances. Madah Hyer sings several classical songs and in one reaches the phenominal second high G, above the staff. May and Fabre do some gro- tesque tunlbling and dances, and Tom Brown, imperonator and comedian, is well received. The Spanish ballet is a very artistic affair, the stage being dressed for the act The music, that of mandolins, guitars, etc, is supplied by members of the company stationed in balcony in the rear The program concludes with very creditable rem dition of a portion of several well known operas.
 "The Octoroons'' will appear at the Grand this and tomorrow evenings, with matinee Saturday, and a very who attend.
 An exchange says of "Dorcas," which comes next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings: It is well compounded pot pourri of bright speeches, sparkling music and neatly-d drawn situations. It's plot is piquant, nigh unto Frenchiness, but it is carefully kept within decen- cy's limits. The chief charm of the production consisted in the all around cleverness of the people. Every one of them could sing and act, and it is prac- tically safe to assert that even to the feminine portion of the audience the rich and rather anachronistic costum- ing was lost sight of in contemplation of the rare talents of the performers. It was pleasant to see and hear vocal ists who climb the scale without any apparent fear of "iatting" and to watch actors who were not constantly hampered by the consciousness of self that so frequently mars dramatic ef- fort in the interpretation of opera Every member of the company seemed to be fully acquainted with the require ments and as fully confident of their ability to meet them, and they did meet them with an ease that imbued with naturalness their most extraordinary endeavors.

Poli,s Wonderland Theater.

Lumiere's cinematographe arouses increased interest as it hears the close of its engagement at Polls Wonder land theater. Tomorrow evening ends the engagement and it is not unlikely that there will be big houses to the close. The cinematographe is shown four times daily at and 5 in the af- ternoon, and S:30 and 10:20 in the eve- ming. The specially bill likewise comes in for much appreciation, being par ticularly excellent in many features. Next week the four Nelson sisters will be the special feature in their mar vicious acrobatic feats. These young women, since their arrival from South America two years ago, have had a standing challenge of $20000 for any four acrobats to equal their feats. It is not likely, however, that they will find takers, for it is generally conceded in the profession that they have no equals.

RATHER LET THE WOMAN GO,

When all has been said and done. when the new woman has become an- established parsonage among. us, and has advanced in years as we'll as in widsoln and honor, there will still be one thing for the world to regret and sigh for-we shall have no more fat old ladies' bless 'em!
 For of course the new woman, train ed from her youth in the most ap- proved and effective methods of physi- cal culture, with all her superior know ledge of how to control bodily conditi- ons, to put off flesh and take it on at will. never, even in her old age, com- init the error of growing stout. So that. when the present generation of old la dies. our mistaken-some might say misshapen-aunts and grandmothers, are laid to rest, there will be nobody left to fill their wide armchairs by the fireside (the new grandmothers will probably be in the gymnasium) and the world will know a want which no su- periority of the new woman can satis- fy. This loss will not be felt all at once; it will steal gradually upon us as d shadow steal over the lawn. and there may even be some in those pro- gressive days ''so thin and long and slim in mind' Vas not to recognize it as a loss at all But these person will be the ones who never knew in child l hood-for it is upon the children that the loss will fall the heaviest-the l bIessedness of having a stout aunt or grandmother within whose radiance of serenity and good-nature, they crept as into the sunlight when the world suddenly turned a bleak and cheer less face upon thelr souls.-From "The Point of View" in the October Scrib- ner'S

THE BRAKE HANDLE BAROME-

This rain is about over," said a mo- torman on one of the open cars yester- day afternoon.
 Are you a weather prophet?" was asked.
 T think I am, as far as dry or wet weather is concerned" he replied. T can tell whether we'll have rain within twenty-four hours or not.
 How am I able to do it? Well, it's like this. When it's going to rain the brake-handle becomes sticky almost day before. The motorman will first notice it fully twenty-four hours be- fore the storm arrives You can just barely notice 1t then, but the sticky ness will increase until it will be al- most impossible to get decent grip without tearing the flesh on your hands. Now, on Friday night, I be- gan to feel that sticky business, and told a fellow who was on the seat be- hind me that it was going to rain. The sky was clear, and after he glanced around he said that | was away off. said, don't say it's going to rain right away, but it will before this time tomorrow and it did. Oh, there's no going back on the brake as barometer"
 At this point in the motorman's re- marks a passenger boarded the car. The front seat was about filled, but that did not matter. He wanted to talk with the motorman.
 'Is the rain over?" was his query.
 Pretty near" answered the electrici- ty pusher.
 Well I'm glad of that Do you konw," continued the latest arrival, q place more confidence in a motorman's s prediction than do in those made by the weather signal man?''
 The motorman blushed becomingly.- Albany Argus.
