SAND AS AN UNDERSTUDY.

It Caused the Wrath of Tragedian
Doomed to Hang.
Jack Moynihan. known chiefly to fame
from the fact that he managed a play
called "The Scarecrow, which was
written by Chicago newspaper man,
and which ran one consecutive night in
St. Louis, tells of the only actor he ever
knew as being legally executed.
On the day before the execution the
condemned man called the sheriff to his
cell.
Are we going to have good house?''
he inquired of the official.
"Fairly good, I guess was the reas-
surfing answer.
"Have you papered the town pretty
well?'
1.-Two hundred tickets to the sad event
have been issued.''
worked up any fake about confession
and previous crimes to rouse interest
and give free advertising?'
II think the newspaper men have
been pretty vigilant.
''Do you think you care to rehearse
the thing SO as to get your lines?''
II don't believe it will be necessary.
Everything has been designed pretty
we'll. We tested the gallows and rope
with 400 pound sack of sand just an
hour ago.
"Sand? Sand? The thunder you say
Do You mean to tell me, man who has
gone Oh with Forrest and Kean, that you
are using an Internal dumpy sack of
sand for my understudy, and that you
depend on your rehearsal with it to see
you through? Here you've gone and got
packed house just on the strength Of
my star part, and yet you insult the
dignity Of the profession by running on
a sack of sand to rehearse the leads with.
Well, I'll warn you of one thing-i1
your rehearsal fails of effect, and you
find you've forgotten your lines, you
needn't expect me to invent lot OF
business at the trying time and to make
gag talk just to fill in stage wait.
I'm a game sport, but my dignity has
been stepped on by you and your sack OF
sand. ''-Chicago Record.

CONSOLIDATION SUGGESTED.

Possibly something could be gained by searching
scrutiny and ruthless pairing down OF expenses, with
the boards as at present constituted We believe,
however that even greater gains in economy are
desirable and practicable than can be obtained In
such ways. II two boards could be consolidated
without impairing the efficiency OF the work there
would be the clear saving of secretarys salary
and large reduction Of office expenses Why, for
instance. could not the Boards OF Education and
Aid for Colleges be consolidated? Their work s kin
dred so much the same that many intelligent Oii-
GERS Of our churches do not always clearly distin-
guish them Certainly the Board Of Church Erec-
ton and probably also the Board OF Freedmen, as
was originally intended, and the missionary depart
ment OF the Board OF Publication and Sabbath
school Work. could be operated departments of
O, a competent clerk. and all under the general
MANAGEMENT OF the Home Mission secretaries 1t
Is TO be remembered, however, that the expense Of
administration Is not due to the separate boards
composed! as they are, OF ministers and elders who
serve without pay but TO separate secretaries, sep
treasurers, separate sets of clerks, etc If II
tees these independent and inexpensive agencies,
the boards themselves, that could be arranged for
while combining the executive and administrative
parts, wherein the expense is. The actual consoida
ton OF boards appears to us the simpler plan and
likely to prove more satisfactory. But some such ar
rangement as will preserve the separate boards
while combining the executive and treasury depart
ments. may prove necessary on account of invested
and trust funds.
We do not discuss such a scheme for II could
only be put in operation by the General Assembly
We only suggest IL as possible solution Of the
problem which confronts u.s. The intrcacies of the
work certainly do not forbid such an arrangement
work in the foreign field all carried on under direc
ton OF the Board We understand that some such
condensation of boards and elimination of expenses
has already been put In operation by the Cumber-
competent authority that legal difficulties In
the way that could not be readily removed by spe-
