Booth.Tucker Was Disappointed. but the Joke

Commander Booth-Tuckcr secured n suscrip-
ton of $4,000 to the Salvation Army's fund for
colonizing Western farming land with the desti-
tute OF New York in n rather unexpected
manner a week or so ago. He called on n gentle
man in his office on Liberty street and asked for
a subscription of 81 900, advancing his usual
argument that thousands of unemployed men
and women in New York were anxious to i'm
provo their condition il the opportunity VAS
given them. The gentleman was skcptical.
however. He was inclined to the belief that q
great majority of the persons seeking charitable
assistance would not work IL they had a chance.
This was denied by Booth.Tuckcr, and in order
to convince the skeptic he produced reports of
the various managers Of the Army's institutions,
showing that 90 per cent. of the men and women
receiving aid at tho relief stations did work
enough to pay for tho aid given them.
"If you do not believe this is So said the
Commander. ~ shall be delighted to have you

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Dec. 1O.-An expert account-

which will aid the Legislature in deciding.

the unearncu profits have been factors hard to
reduce to n satisfactory balance.
Gov. Tillman's estimate, which gained tbou.
sands OF supporters for tho system. was that the
State would realize $3.50, 900 the first year and
100000 each succeeding year. and that the
profits would reduce taxes one half. That this
estimate was very wide OF the mark Is shown by
the figures given by tho official,

They greet Melba with cordial, out
stretched hands All are in costume for
the first act. Jean disguised i'm the
gray beard and velvet cloak of Faust,
and Edouard in the red habiliments OF

Then there lis a hurried signal OF
warning; the stage is cleared, the music
from the orchestra stops; a bell tinkles
somewhere and the curtain rises ON
a darkened stage. While the first act
is in progress Mime. Melba finds me
''peephole" in the wings and l look out
upon the audience.
What a marvellous sight that is! A
soft, scintillant mass of moving color
in the parquet; the perfumed frou frou
of women, and overhead the first half
circle of boxes slowly filling with white
robed women, whose gems make a glis-
tening crown of light. Tier upon tier
of we'll garbed humanity rises to the
very roof of the house and there is
fiutter of programmes and sounds of
late corners getting to their seats
hundreds of faces turned toward the
stage and eyes rivated on the singer.
That is how the audience looks from
the stage during the beginning of the
opera.
There is a sudden darkness the throb
of the cello, flash of red light, and
Mephistopheles stands in the glare, the
most picturesque an. dashing Mephis-
topheles that ever sang a note. His
swagger is irresistible; he is too good
a fellow, this fascinating devil, to make
you hate him, and you feel that you
can forgive him all his wickedness if he
will only sing again.
