Now she has a glass like the former
one, but she complains that she cannot
see so clearly in 1t as In the old one.
DR.. w. A. McFarlane, a local physi-
clan Of reputation, who had been ac-
quainted with Mrs. Wade's career for
many years, told the reporter:
II do not, of course. pretend to un-
derstand how Mrs. Wade is able to do
these things, but that she has done all
that you have heard, and more. there
can be no question. l sometimes be-
lieve that there are some persons who
possess powers which are un~developed
In the ordinary individual. Perhaps
Mrs. Wade is one of the favored few.
Her sincerity I cannot doubt. 1t Is
impossible to suspect such a woman OF
dupliclty, and besides, duplicity ID not

A Prosecutor Converted.

Once when Mr.. Whitefeld was
preaching at Exeter, says DIR. Thomas,
n man was present who had loaded his
pockets with stones in order to throw
them at him. The man heard the
preachers prayer, however, with pa
thence. but no ooner had the text been
named than he pulled out a stone and
held II In his hand, waiting for q fair
opportunity to throw 1t. But God sent
a word to his heart and the stone
dropped from his hand. After the SER
mon he went to Mr.. Whitefield and
said: 81 came to hear you this day,
intending to break your head, but the
spirit of God, through your words, has
broken my heart" The man proved
to be a sound convert, and lived an or.
nament to tho gospel.

Worse Than Wooden Nutmegs.

1t has recently been discovered that
there is in Birmingham, in the very
center Of Christian England, a factory
where idols are made for heather ma
lions! Many attempts have been made
to obtain admission to the factory, but
a strict watch is kept upon outsiders
anxious to pry into the secret cham
bers where the heather gods are made,
and journalists especially are prevent
ed from entering the works. A few
facts were, however, to be cleaned con-
corning this extraordinary industry.
Idols Of all kinds are turned out. rep
~resenting the gods Of all heather ma
tions, from Toxic to Timbuctoo. The
export trade to heather countries Is a
fairly large one. although more gods
are sen out to foreign dealers In Gu

osene lamp. At the moment when the
scene had reached It's climax. the de-
tective, with a piece Of board, smashed
the lamp, and every light In the house
on the stage as well as in the audi
forum was turned out. The floor Of
the stage had been sanded. with the in
tention Of producing the effect Of scuf-
fling feet in the dark, the idea being
to uphold the tension, the audience de-
pending exclusively upon the sense Of
hearing to convey what was going on
upon the stage. As soon as the lights
were turned down on the opening
night, the occupants Of the gallery,
who had been worked into a condition
of great excitement, burst into cheers
and applause SO wildly enthusiastic
that nothing else could be heard. So.
Of course, the shutting of feet on the
sanded floor was lost. and a scene that
every advance indication Of great
strength fell dead.

Miss Martyrs scheme.

Miss Katherine =. Martyr. an enter
prising English woman, is making a
pronounced success of her business OF
supplying food and delicacies for the
sick, which she conducts In connection
with her English Tea Rooms on Fifth
avenue, near the Waldorf. Miss Mar
tyn has qualified herself thoroughly for
her work, and not only furnishes the
standard invalid dishes, such as gruels.
broths, beef tea, %jellies, ETC., but also
peptonized foods of all kinds. Al
though this work keeps her constantly
busy II Is not allowed to interfere with
her management OF the tea rooms,
which are coy and home like TO a de-
gree seldom seen outside a private
house. The large front room Is ex-
tremely English in all It's appoint
ments. even to the big silver teapots.
sugar basins. and cream jugs and the
crumpets. which are made by Miss
Martyr herself, are a revelation to
those who have only tasted the Ameri-
can article sold under that name.
These rooms are always in demand for
breakfast and luncheon parties, and
Miss Martyr and her trim whlte-cap-

TWO years. After leaving Mr.. Pastors

The Holland BrOthcrs.

Edward M. Holland and his brother
Joseph seem to be making a great mis-
take In starring together. The work
OF one appears to %counteract that OF
the other. Both are clever men, but
their methods are 80 utterly dissimilar
that II Is hard work to secure a good
play that will give each a stellar role.
Il. M. Holland Is the better artist OF
the two, but this delightfully."- subtle
little gentleman Is what we call a char
acter actor. and his charm vanishes as
soon as the starry glare is focused upon
1t. Joseph, the long, dark brother, has
no subtlety, but he owns all the char
acteristics of the successful leading
man, and, to succeed, he should either
be a leading member of a stock COM
pany or a star all by himself. I'm very
much interested in the Hollands. They
are a brace of capital fellows, and 1t
Is a pity to see them angling discour-
agingly in such improbable waters.
They need the advice of some highly
experienced manager. No highly ex-
perienced manager would have permit
ted them to set forth in such a play as
DIR. Claudius." for instance, proved to
be. The brothers themselves are sim
pie, guileless children, or they would
never have embarked upon such an
enterprise. The Hollands should sep
arated as soon as possible. In these
The Red Cloud chief., 1897-04-02

cases unton is not strength. 1t is de-
cided weakness. II halves the useful
ness Of each. z. NJ. Holland is as capa-
BILE an actor as America owns, and Jo-
seph's value will always be apparent.
One star in a company, however, is
bad enough. Two stars are almost i'm
possible to cope with. Moreover. the
lack Of playwrights is so distressing
that the Hollands will probably fare
very badly unless they take instant
steps to improve their condition. Nat
urally they both want good parts. Each
had plenty of lines in 'Dr. Claudius."
Actors rarely look beyond their own
roles, and their Is nothing binder than
one star except perchance two stars.

WIDOW WADE.

OF course she does;" and ne pur his
pipe back into his mouth with a
chuckle at the idea that anybody
should question the widows powers.
So 1t Is all through the town, and the
surrounding towns, too. There are
many highly educated persons In Cas-
tile. Some OF them are quite ready to
avow their faith in the Widow Wade's
gift OF Second sight" Others do not
wish to be quoted On the subject, but
all have given evidence OF their belief
in her power. She makes no boast Of
her ability, and exercises 1t only when
requested to do SO. Another peculiar
characteristic, which distinguishes her
from the professional quack, Is that she
will not accept money for her services,
though often urged to do so.
"Since the Lord has sent this gift"
she said to the reporter, "He certainly
intends me to use II for the benefit Of
my fellow creatures" The Widow
Wade Is u sincerely pious woman, and
this Is her way OF looking at the mat
ter.
Mrs. Wade is past 60, and for forty
years she has been finding things for
her Wyoming county neighbors. Their
feelings toward her were well ex-
pressed by an old farmer named Will
let's on the outskirts OF CASTLE. A lot
OF his grain had been stolen, he said,
and when he appealed to the Widow
Wade she told him where 1t had been
concealed. He went to the spot. and
sure enough, he found the bags OF
grain. bearing his name.
but do you really believe 1t possi-
BILE that this woman can possess such
power?" he was asked.
II don'no." said the old man, scratch
ing his heal In perplexity. II don't
understand how 1t is, but she found my
oats"
The Widow Wade owns a little house
and a small patch of ground In the vii
lage, but, having no family ties, she
passes much of her time In visiting
round among her relatives In CASTLE
and Pike. She Is n pleasant-faced old
lady. and Is always willing to receive
visitors and to talk to them, but she
is not fond OF speaking of her power OF
clairvoyance. She Is cheerful, some
times even Jolly. Her way Of finding
lost articles ia very simple. Take, fol
instance. the case Of Farmer Willetti
and his stolen grain. When he had
told his story to Mrs. Wade she took
out q small glass which looks like an
ordinary glass; II Is her only medium
she gaxed axedly into 1t for some time
Then she said:
II see two men carrying bags of grain
from your barn to q wagon which
stands by the road. Now they drive "a
the west" Then she described their
trip along the -oad which ran past the
farmers house and on for three or fou,
miles. Here they turned to the right
and went up q HILL" and SO on. She
went carefully Owe the route, which
afterward was found to be the one tho
thieves had taken. and ended her state,
ment by telling the farmer that In
the haymow OF O certain barn several
miles away he would find his grain,
and he did.
Two years ago the glass that the
widow had long used was dropped &C
ths
