arHE LAST OF HIS RACE"

lowing notice of Creston Clarke
and Adelaide Prince. Mr.. Clarke
is s brother-in-law of Mrs. S.
Epstein, his wife Adelaide Prince
being Mrs. Epstein's sister. The
<'Last of this Race" will appear
at the Grand early in December.
Handsome, talented and ar
tistic Creston Clarke appeared in
the Academy of Music last even
ing in this play, and won new
qaurels for his splendid work in
the dual roles of Prince Okolski,
a paralytic, and Loris Cardel, a
young artist. His impersonation
of the old paralytic was a superb
piece of work, and l say it
guardedly, do not believe could
be improved upon by Booth, an
Irving or a Mansfield.
The play tells the story of
Prince Okolski who becomes in
fatuated with the wife of Niclo-
stitch a serf, who bears him a
son. This child is sent to Brit
tame, where he grows up under
the name Of Loris Cardel, the
maiden name of Prince Okolski's
wife. Niclositch's wife dies in
giving birth to the child, and her
husband in revenge kills the wife
of the prince, and, as he thought,
the child, but he escaped and
finally turns up as the successor
to EsThe Last of His Race" to
perpetuate the family name.
The death scene of the old
prince in the first act was a re-
violation in the art stage dying.
There was no ranting, no blood
-curdling gasping for breath, but
slowly and swiftly as though the
patient knew the end was near
and was prepared, he sank into
the arms of the priest and died.
For this splendid piece of acting
he won a deserved curtain call.
In the second act, as Cardel,
the young artist, whose skill has
won for him the coveted gold
medal and caused rival for the
love of the same woman, Nocolai
Karacheff, to insult him, he rose
above the ordinary, and his
splendid stand to protect his hon
or was thrilling and powerful.
Again in the third act, in the
duel scene, he rose above the
stage villains who stab and swear
and showed plainly that there is
an art about affairs of honor
which many actors have failed to
grasp as yet.
John Carter as Father Pascal,
a Breton priest, was pleasing,
natural and had sweet musical
voice the Doctor Dimitri, of j.
j. Sambrook, was exceedingly
clever; the Nicolai Karracheff,
of G. D. Parker, was satisfactory
at points, but he showed lack
of spirit and ability in several of
the stronger scenes. Rodney
Binton, as Varsale Dromiroff, of
the Russian police, was fair.
Miss Adelaide Prince was a
graceful, charming Marie de
Melville, and her acting was a
fne piece of work. With a form
60 rival Venus and a beautiful
face, she adds intelligence and
good Interpretation. Miss An
gela Dolores character of Louise
de st. Cyr was a choice bit of
comedy, and she brought the
house to her feet at the same
time as she did her lover. The
best subordinate character of
the play was that of Clovis, by
Miss Alice Gale, and in her
scene in the last act before she
regains her reason she is ex-
ceedingly clever.
The scenery was magnificent,
and, whether in the old Russian
castle or the more light and airy
chateau in Brittany, was COM
plete, artistic and appropriate.
The company is we'll balanced,
and Mr.. Clarke may feel proud,

POPULATION AND DEPENDENCE

Nations That Increase Fast I'm Num-
bers Under the Rule of Aliens.
An item appearedin anEnglish paper
recently giving the results Of the June
census of the population of Egypt and
showing it, TO be Q, 100000, an increase of
2,9O0,0O0 since 1882; in other words,
gain Of AZ per cent. in IS years, the
greater part Of which has been made
since the British occupationof the coun-
try.
In a French newspaper, attention is
called to the fact that whilethe popula-
tion of France has not been increasing
the increase of the French Canadian
population in North America has been
digious-from 10000 in1765 to $780,
900 in 1891, and more than 100000 at
present.
The deduction to be drawn from these
figures and from other like figures is
that the political independence of peo-
Pile is by no means pledge of increase
IN population; on the contrary, the
growth I'm numbers Of dependent peo-
pies under an alien and sometimes an
tagonistic government is often greater
than it would otherwise be.
The increase of the population Of In
dia, abruptly stopped this year by the
plague, is perhaps a fair illustration Of
this
An official enumeration of the popula-
tion Of British India made by the Brit
ish government in 1867 put the popula-
tion of that country at 144,000,000 eHclu-
sive Of 47,o0O, ,oOO inhabitants in districts
under British jurisdiction butnot under
direct British control. This was 81
years ago, and the population of India
at that time was 1o1 100000 in all. BY
the last imperial census made by Brit
ish authorities, the population of India
was 2s7,00O,O 900, about twice as great.

Col. Deevers was one of the most ce,e-
brated characters in central Ohio. He
was nothing if not prodigal in his gem
erosity, his flow of language, his wealth
of imagination. The colonel never ex-
planned how he got his title, but he al
ways insisted on being addressed by
that title.
On one occasion. says q local ex-
change, the colonel employed a lawyer
to attend to a trifing matter for him
and promised a speedy settlement Of
the account. Time went by and the
colonel failed to keep his word, The
lawyer stirred the colonel up about it
the next time he saw him in town, and
the upshot OF IL was that the colonel
agreed to send the lawyer dozen bush
els of the finest apples in Ohio. But no
apples came to the lawyer. One day he
saw the colonel in town and immediate
ly bore down on him for an explana-
tion. He got It. The colonel, taking his
friend by the lapel of his coat, said, i'm
pressiyely:
'Mr. Williams. I fully expected to
send you those apples. l had 'em. sir;
yes, sir, 200 bushels Of the finest apples
ever raised in the state of Ohio. I had
'em all cribbed up. and one night a
derned little yearlin' bull broke in and
eat 'em all up. Yes, sir, ever last one OF

HINTS FoR Travellers.
How to Prepare for n Long Journey
by Rail.

How to Prepare for N Long Journey
by Rail.
1t is quite an undertaking to prepare
for a long journey by rail and unless
one is an experienced traveller she is
somewhat in doubt in regard to what
is required in the way of apparel,
so few hints from one whose
experience in this direction is fresh
in mind may not be amiss. In
the first place the travelling dress
should be very quiet in color, very
plainly made and above all 1t should be
comfortable. A plain dark skirt with
loosely-fitting black silk waist is in
very good taste.
For an outside wrap a cape is the
most convenient as it can be slipped off
and on readily as the changing temper
ature of the car requires. The hat
should be small and with as little trim
ming as possible to catch the dust.
White undersldrts are entirely out of
place and should not be worn, for they
soon become soiled, and the finest white
skirt when travel-stained is far more
unsishtly than a plain, dark skirt of the
most common material.
To sleep in at night it is advisable TO
have q wrapper of some soft woolen ma
,terial, that will be comfortable and yet
be neat enough to wear from the berth
to the dressing-room; If common
nightrobe only is provided it becomes
necessary to dress in the berth, which
is very inconvenient, besides crumpling
the clothing. A small satchel is re
quired TO carry all the necessary toilet
articles such as brushes, comb, soap
and towels, for a lady does not wish tc
use those provided for the general use
Of passengers. %
Provision should also be made for the
end of the journey. In case the trunk is
delayed, in the form of plenty of fresl
collars, or lace for the neck, pocket
handkerchiefs and fresh gloves.-Wash.

For DruIaea.

Since bicycling has made bruises one
of the. everyday events the simplest and
best method for treating them should
form part of ones education. In cases
where the skin is not broken apply as
quickly as possible to the injured part
a cloth wrung out of hot water. Change
the cloth constantly until the pain is
eased. Then rub in gently little salt
butter or sweet oil. Afterwards apply
at frequent intervals the following To-
tion which it is well to prepare and
keep on hand for emergencies: Acetate
of ammonia, two ounces; spirits of
wine, one ounce; spirits of camphor,
20 drops, and water, half pint. These
ingredients are to be well mixed to-
gether. If your fall takes place at n
considerable distance from where hot
water can be procured breathe several
times into your folded. handkerchief
and apply it quickly to the bruise. Re
peat this again and again, and the
warmth viii help to prevent discolora-
tion.-American Queen.
