STORIES OF THE DAY.

lnt-re.tinr Episode In the Lobby Of q New
York Theater.
There were at least six persons who
were witnesses Of this scene in the lobby
of the Garrick theater, New York, the
other night. Two women entered the
lobby at about 8 o'clock, when the first
act of "Leonardo' was almost over.
Both seemed excited and very V
One Of the women was crying. They
spoke to the ~doOrkeeper and asked him
to send word to a woman who was sit
ting in one Of the stage boxes.
Tell her 10 come outside for a mo-
ment,' cried the elder woman 1--WE
must see her. It's a matter of great i'm
p~ortance.' Presently the came
ont. She was ~fashionably dressed and
rather pretty. She looked one too
pleased at the interruption, however.
The elder woman grasped her by the
hand. My dear child she said, Il
have terrible news for you. Your dear
mother dropped dead about half an hour
ago"
The woman gave a little shrek and
looked for a moment as if she were go
ing to faint. The younger woman hand
ed Der her smelling salts.
My God! How terrible! How w
full cried the woman. Poor mother! -
One Of her companions had already
gone TO call a cab. Suddenly the woman
drew herself together, took a long sniff
at the salts and exclaimed:
We'll, I'm here now, SO l might as
we'll see the performance out. 1t won't
make any difference to mother.
The other two women fell back in
amazement. The doorkeeper stood there
open mouthed. II vain the women ex-
planned to her that there was no Il
with the body.
I'm going to sit ont this perform
ance,' repeated the IN firmly as
she wiped her eyes and re-entered the
theator.
The two women drove away alone. In
half an hour they returned in a More
distracted state than ever. Again the
woman was summoned from her box.
This time, however, her temper was
aroused.
Il wish you would leave me alone
che exclaimed. What is the matter
now
The women explained that they had
been hunting for her brother, but could
not find him. Again they begged her to
go home. Nov, look here, you just
leave my brother alone. He's up at His
Excellency, and he doesn't want to be
disturbed any more than l do. It's been
very kind of you to take all this trouble,
but l wish, all the same, you had left
me alone. I've got to get back to my
box new. Good night. New York

Out of the Mouths OF Babes,

The spark Of genius shows itself early
in life, and my friend in Woburn has a
little girl just beginning her career at
school who already exhibits sublime
flights of intellect. One clustering, low
ering day last week the teacher asked
he school children to write their i'm
pressions Of the weather. The little tots
struggled for some time with their i'm
aginations, and in many cases the result
was nil
But not so with my friends bright
little daughter. She sat neal the win
dow and watched the falling leaves
dashed hither and thither by the fckle
autumnal breezes. Then she was seen to
write something upon her slate, and
when the teacher approached the child
trlumphantly exhibited this brief, but
wise composition:
THE world is full Of wind. BIOS

from Rainy Lake river to Rainy Lake
recently a steamboat was compelled to
plunge over falls ten feet high.
At the last moment the engineer
deemed prudence the better part of valor
and decided not to make the perilous
trip. So the captain fixed a wire running
from the p]ilOthouse to the engine room
and attached it to the steam throttle so
he could shut of steam when desired.
Then, casting off lines and pulling the
throttle wide open, with a full head of
steam on, he steered into the current,
leading to the rapids above the falls,
which is confined in a narrow gorge,
and where the water runs with a fearful
current.
With the force of the current and the
full head Of steam tho steamboat shot
ahead with the speed Of an arrow, and
as the brow Of the fails was reached the
captain pulled the wire to hut off

then dropped into the boiling, swirling
water below the falls. Then came work
for the captain. The mad, tumultuous

Terrible snTerings of the Crew of
Burned ship.

Port Townsend, Wash, February .
The ship Louis Walsh, from Callao,
brought two of the crew, Steward
Chase and Cook Mitchell, from the snip
PartLia which was burned several
weeks ago 500 miles southwest OF Juan
Fernando island. The PartEia was
coal laden from Liverpool to San Fran
cisco. The first intimation that the
ship was alire was when q dense vol
ume of smoke burst through the nam
hatch Knowing the coal was full OF
gas and apprehensive lest an explosion
should occur. three boats in charge OF
Captain Carter and his first and sec
ond mates respective, were launched
and well provisioned. The same after
noon, when the boats were three miles
distant, the ship blew up and sank.
Spontaneous combustion was the origin
Of ,he fire.
Four days the boats remained to-
gether, when a storm came on and the
second mates boat was lost sight OF.
The water filled the boats and all the
crew could do was 10 keep them baled
ont. Then it was necessary to throw
overheard an the mems clothes and
nearly all the provisions. The captain
and first mates boats reached Juan
Fernandez island and from there they
were taken TO Valparaiso by @ CHILEAN
man-of-war. The second mates boat
had q severe time and was Il days
reaching Valparaiso. For six days
they were without water and food.
David Jones an American actor, who
was passenger became insane, and
was tied down for two days, when he
died and was buried at sea. The other
occupants almost despaired Of reaching
shore and were considering the advis-
ability fresorting to extreme measures
when q wind sDrang up and quickly
carried the boat to Valparaiso. where
the crew was taken ashore nearly dead.
