RECALLED BY TELEGRAPHER
Attraction of a Scene In Play Suggests
Story.

When "Secret Service" was first pro-
duced in New York, the audiences fol
the first week or two included large
numberof telegraph operators, attracted
by the vivid description given of the
scene in which Gillette sends the mes.
sage and is shot through the hand. In
terest in this part of the play waned
slightly, so far as the knights of the
key were concerned, when it was found
that the telegraphing, while it sounded
very real to the uninitiated, was nothing
but succession Of meaningless clicks.
Why it was expected that there should
be real telegrapbing any more than
there should be real killing on the stage
was explained by an old operator re-
Gently. ''There fingers in the mind of
all the older men in the business, said
he, fthe memory of the telegraphing
scene in Oliver Doud Byron's play,
Across the Continent, in which gen.
uine operator was substituted for the
actor long enough to tick ont welcome
to any member Of the profession who
might be in the audience. 1t was at
Mrs. John Drew's old Arch Street thea
ter in Philadelphia, about 10 years ago.
Every night the man ON the stage would
spell out: 'Gcod evening, boysl If you
are all feeling we'll, rap out an answer
on the ircn support of the seat in front
of you. All together, now-one, two,
three. Col
1.-THE rest of the audience were be-
wildered by the ticking all over the
house, and it was great fun for the boys
and shrewd move on the part of the
management, fer it attracted telegra-
piers in great force. They enjoyed the
puzzled expression of the people, who
couldn't understand the unanimity of
the answer from the gallery, orchestra
and lobby. OF course the talk between
the stage and the house was not con-
fined to this salutation. 1t was on all
sorts of topics, usually in the form of
an interrogation, with request for
simultaneous answer. The story has
been told TO the younger men, and
whenever a play is produced in which
telegraph key figures they like to see
if the experience viii be repeated. ~

BARONIAL PARKS.
The Extent Of Some Which Surround the
Houses of Enslisl. Noblemen.

An article in The Cornhill Magazine
ON the cost Of maintaining country
houses contains some extremely inter
esting particulars about the size Of
noblemen's parks. One hardly likes,
the writer says, to guess the cost of re-
pairs to the loose stone wall around
Badmipton park, high enough to pre-
vent a deer leapirg it and inclosing $50

of iron fencing around the three deer
parks. ThCresby PARK is IL miles
around.
Though the deer have been rcr owed
or destroyed in 10 less than 80 parks

paddocks in England ard Wales alone,
and of these are over 2,000 acres.

many over 1000 acres. The area has
an additional interest for the owner,
