Long Runs Theatricallv.

London is pre-eminently the city of
long runs for plays. Four hundred or
800 night runs are quite common there.
"Our Boys" survived at the Vaudeville
for many more than 1, 800 nights, and
"Charley's Aunt" now in its fourth or
fifth year, will surpass it. In New York
we have Il record of over 600 nights,
several of over 800, many of more than
200, though a run of 100 nights is con-
sidered good enough for an extremely
successful play. In Paris, at the popular
Ambigu Comique, Decourcelle's Lies
Deux Gosses" has "broken the record -
having passed its two hundred and if
tieth night. Even "L'Assommoir'' had
only 1853 performances, and "Roger la
Hopte'' only 1919. New York Times.
A Stranger Himself.
The sun was slowly sinking toward
the west. Dennis Murphy, with some
thing more than a taste of the ''cratur, -
was working his way home after a hard
days toll. He saw the lurid sun and
stopped rs if frightened. Just then an
old man came down the road.
"Oi shay, me fri'nd, "gurgled Dennis,
"do yez moind tellin me ish that the
sun or ish that the moon?"
"No," growled the old man.
Dennis subsidized for a moment, then
began his contemplation again. His
thoughts were interrupted by some one
approaching. Dennis saw that he, too,
was a fellow countryman, but Dennis
did not see that he, too, had seen too
much Of the foaming glass.
"Oi shay, me fri'nd,' he again began,

Ferdinand Mazas, in The Architec-
tural Record, explains sculpture as APP
piled to Paris houses. Twenty years
ago, Mr.. Mazas says, "the external or
namentation of French houses was, in
general of a very sober character. " 10
day decoration is very much in fashion
and prehaps not always discreet.
M. Paul Heneux, having been in
trusted with the erection of the new
town hall at Les Lilas, a charming lit
tie place near Paris, conceived the idea
of treating all the sculpture of tho
building with lilacs. The capitals, tic
balcony, the friezes and the flower work
placed above the dormer windows rep
resent nothing but sprays, punches,
leaves and petals of lilac. The brackets
OF the windows are also formed of flow
ers of the same spring shrub. As to the
baluster of the grand staircase, it repre-
sents a trellis with branches of lilac
climbing over it. Yet the architect has
avoided monotony and has produced
the most graceful variations upon this
single theme adopted by him. We will
also mention a house designed by M.
Paul Heneux. In this case all the sculp.
ture has been inspired by the profession
of the owner, who is n druggist. The
frontals of the dormer windows of this
house are ornamented with garlanGs of
mallows and peoples. The frieze is com
posed of renaissance motives, in the Cr-
~namentation of which other medicinal
plants figure. Finally, on the first story
there is IN escutcbeon that recalls the
origin of the fortune of the owner. who
is the dissemination of some kind of ONT
ment or elixir.

He Was There Once,

The other day one of the Illinois Ia
dies whose husband is drawing salary
as a representative from that state in
congress was assisting to do the honors
at a tea, and a quiet representative, who
represents a southern constituency, wan
dered in and fell into the Illinois wom-
ans h%ospitable hands. She tried to do
the agreeable, but the gentleman was
rather unapproachable. Finally, over
an infinitesimal cup Of tea and a "bis-
cult" they got to talking of Chicago.
ut is the most wonderful city in the
world" declared the lady. "Were you

"Um-er--well, yes, once" was the

III his book, Hunting and Fishing in
Florida" Mr.. Charles B. Cory, curato,
of the department. of o~rnithology in the
Field Columbian museum, Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in the
register of the Brock House. e..
In the old days, when transportation
was more difficult than it is at present,
the Brock House was about the end o.
civilization and was a "a hours trip by
boat from Jacksonville. 1t was at tina
time a great resort for sportsmen, who
were attracted there by the fishing anG
shooting to be had in the vicinity.
The old register, which extended
back a great many years, contained
some queer records, some of them o.
doubtful veracity. Among others, SOM
one had written: :,
"March 10, 1872. killed a large ALI
gator, the largest seen here this year.
The stomach contained a boot, a piece
Of pine wood, a fsherman's float and
some small fish"
Immediately beneath this record wa.
another, evidently added by some wag
"March "a, killed a much bigger ALI
gator than the IL mentioned above.
The stomach contained a gold watch,
$40, 900 in government bonds and a core
of wood" . p
On the next page, written in n neat,
unobtrusive style, was inscribed the fol
lowing: "Shot the biggest alligator evel
known in Florida. The stomach con
tained the remains Of a steam launch,
a lot of old railway iron and n quantity
Of melted ice, proving that it existed
during the glacial epoch" i

The results Of elections this year lead Mr.
Bryan to rejoice with Senator Jones Every
Democratic gain they count for free silver; and
why not: The same elements which prevailed
in some and threatened in other Western States
last year have carried Nebraska, though by a
much reduced majority; have gained Kentucky
with the aid Of many Of the Sound Money Demo.
Gratis and have greatly reduced the Republican
majority in Ohio. AT the South ard West the
neither forces which seized the Democratic con-
venion OF 1896 are certain as ever TO control
the party and its delegates in convention while
at the East they are encouraged beyond measure
by the cooperation of silver. Sound Money and
corruptionlst Democrats in State elections The
organization evades the silver issue for the time;
most Sound Money Democrats seize the earliest
opportunity to rush back to it; and the Tam.
many corruptloniss, the racetlack swindlers
OF New-Jersey and the plundercrs Of Baltimore
all find hearty support from the Pharasaic wor-
shippers Of Cleveland in an effort TO overthrow
the Republican party. All OF them know. IL
they have common-sense, and Mr.. Bryan re-
1olces because he knows, that everything gained
by the Democratic organization Is gained for
the silver Anarchists, who will do what they
please with the organization whenever they
please.
1t Is the undenlable truth that every Repub.
ican loss is gain for the combination of free.
silver Anarchists and revolutionists which Mr..
Bryan represents. No other party has the will
10 resist that combination, and no other that
can be formed will have the power The men
who are scheming for a hard-money, Free Trade
party, to be led by Mr.. Cleveland. whether in
tentlonally or not are simply doing chores for
Organism. They cannot detach honest protec-
tlonists from the Republican party in any Ma
tlonal contest They cannot draw off the posi-
tive free-silver men from the Democratic party.
Unable to get together fifth of the popular
vote, they would be impotent for harm, as well
as for good, unless their strength should be
exerted mainly In large States which the Re-
publicans control and need for the defeat of
Organism in the Electoral College But this
possibility Is the only weapon they use They
are engaged in a species OF blackman. If Re-
publican voters will not abandon Protection. the
defeat OF the Republican party is threatened by
diversion in some States, leaving the comblna-
ton Of Bryan revoluionsts and Tammany cor
rup,onists TO prevail
The conditions usual in an "oif year have
given the freesilver crowd much encourage
ment The Democratic organization will now
be used more effectively, and far more hope

THE VINTAGE or 1897.

The harvest OF grapes does not usually COM
mand so much attention as that of wheat. IL
is not so important to the human race. And
even those TO whom the supply or wine Is a
matter of interest have come to feel that the
state of the vintage does not after all directly
affect the wine market to any great degree.
Nevertheless, in at least two countries the vint-
agc is one of the chief industries, on which the
general prosperity Of the people largely de-
ponds, and as such it demands some consldera-
ton.
France, Of late regarded as the chief wine
producing country, has not been fortunate this
year Tho phylloxera is still troublesome, de-
spite the wholesale importation Of American
vines. Wet weather and untlmely frosts also
did much harm. In the Medoc region a long
continued salt wind from the Bay Of Biscay
inflicted vast damage II was such storm as
had not been known before in this century. and
its ravages were noted ms far as n hundred
miles inland. The result Is the poorest and
scantiest wine harvest in France for many
years. The supply will not he sufficient to meet
the demand for home consumption by at least
so per cent That this will seriously affect the
general prosperity Of the country is inevitable
Italy the other great wine producer. has been
more fortunate In spite Of some viclsstudes
Of weather the harvest is generally excellent.
From all parts OF the peninsula reports come OF
an abundant supply OF grapes OF the best quail
ty. Not for many years has the vintage been
so satisfactory. And the old boast that Italy
can produce enough wine 10 float the navies OF
the world is not m empty one. Italy ia now
the largest producer In Europe and bids fair 10
maintain that rank. With proper advance in
methods OF culture and manufacture and con-
scqucnt improvement Of quality, Italian wine
growers may soon control the markets OF the
Old World.
In the mean time, there is every incentive TO
progress In crane culture In this country Much
excellent wine Is already produced here, and
there seems no reason why the United States
should not one day lead the world in that in
dustry. There Is no lack OF suitable climate,
nor Of suitable soil. either, the latter lacking
only that peculiar culture which Is 10 be
effected through years OF patient work.
