Alice Dunning Lingard. who died in
London a few days ago. was the first
artificial blonde TO visit America She
was a beautiful woman. and the yellow
hair, tied with blue ribbons. that hung
on her shoulders always created a sem
sation along Broadway in those some
what remote days. She was followed
soon by Lydia Thompson and her ca
naries, and then novelty wore off. Per-
oxide has had streaks of favor since
then from time to time, but now it is
relegated to the socalied sOubrettes of
pedestrian proclivitieS. Mrs. Lingard
was the wife of Horace Lingard, and
some of her representations. notably her
Belinda Trehune in Engaged, are
well remembered here.

scarcely imagine a Blaine, a Sherman
or a Mckinley uttering English like
that, even when carried away by ex-
element. but one thinks that Lincoln
might have occasionally made such a
lapse. and in their power to reach down
into the hearts of the common people,
Bryan and Lincoln have very often been
compared.
During his stay here. everything
about the Democratic leader marked
the unaffected man of the simplest
tastes; he came and went TO and from
the depot in a one horse tea cart: he
had no travelling companion or business
representative; after the lecture he sat
in the box Office chatting with Manager
Burton, and the thing apparently far
thest from his thoughts was the
receipts CT the night, though they had
ran far beyond a thousand dollars; he
did not take the trouble TO have them
counted, and left the checking up, and
the forwarding of his percentage with
his friend, Attorney Stephens. 1t is well
known that he sets aside one-half of all
he receives from his lectures to the bi-
metallic cause. One remark he let fall
to Mr.. Burton was characteristic of
the man. The manager observed that
II would have been better business pol
icy for Mr.. Bryan to have advanced his
prices, rather than TO have reduced
them. He answered that that was the
only reason why he did not like to lee
ture in theatres and opera houses: it
was always a question of money with
them, and as lorg as he had voice in
the business arrangements, he would
favor reducing charges CO admission
for his lectures, rather than increasing
them. There are other things than
money, he said. TO be strived for"
All in all, he seems to be one of the
few big men who will stand the test
of mountaineering. Those who know
him most closely speak of him as a
pure minded gentleman, before whom
even his most familiar acquaintance
would hesitate to utter a ribald or
profane sentiment. His face bears the
stamp of just such a man.

actor was well and popularity known.
Evans and Hoey in "A Parlor Match
were two of the inimitables who
could always be assured big business
| here, and Hoey's tramp, which many
/ have initiated but few equalled, was
one of the most artistic creations of
that sort our stage has ever seen. Hoey
had been prominent in the theatrical
world for over 20 years. Prior TO 1879
he was one of the most appreciated
variety actors playing at Tony Pas
tors and at the best houses elsewhere.
He was the favorite of a team known
as Bryant and Hoey who gave sue
cessful musical act. Another team,
doing black face song and dance act.
was known as Niles and Evans. The
two teams played frequently on the
same programmes.
About the year 1879 the two teams
joined forces and were thereafter for
several years billed as Niles, Evans,
Bryant and Hoey. They had several
sketches written for them. and for sew
eral seasons at the close of their metro
politan engagement, they Travelled
through the country on Tony Pastors
annual spring tour.
The death of Niles of consumption,
followed not long after by Bryant's
death in Bloomingdale, broke up the
quartette, and the survivors of the
original teams joined hands.
Evans and Heey worked up for
THEMSELVES variety sketch which they
called THE Book Agent" in which
Hoey was Old Hoss, a tramp. and
Evans I. McCorker, the book agent.
1t was a very laughable skit and made
the comedians better known than ever.
1t was. in fact, the real foundation of
their fortunes. After a season or two,
during which the business of The
Book Agent" was continually elabOr-
ated, the partners conceived the idea
of having it still further elaborated to
a length sufficient for an entire even
ing's performance. This task was in
trusted TO Charles Hoyt, and the re-
suit was one of the most valuable
pieces of stage property ever created.
Under the title of THE Parlor Match
the piece was played cons antly for
nearly eight seasons. The profits made
both Evans and Hoey wealthy before
they grew tired of playing it and sep
arated. Mr.. Evans TO become lessee of
the Herald Square theatre and Mr.

purpose is to provide dowries to wor-

each. but the founder expects that In
a few years the society will have q
fund of one million dollars, sufficient
to make a wedding present of one hun
drvd dollars in gold, every year, to four
hundred worthy but parentless German
girls. No regard is to be paid to the
