MRS. BLACKS CHURCH,

Her Coachman Thought 1t Too Humble
For Cabinet Lady.
During Mrs. jeremiah Blacks life in
Washington, when her distinguished
husband was in the cabinet, she was
one Of the most efficient helpers in the
early struggles of the Vermont Avenue
Christian church. With the little hand
full Of that faith who "broke bread"
in some private house or obscure hall,
she went regularly. A we'll remember
ed anecdote of that time illustrates her
fidelity and at the same time her gen.
tie, kindly nature. The church was
meeting in Temperance hall. Judge
Blacks driver, Peter, sensitive for the
honor of the family, or more so for his
carriage, felt it to be something of a
disgrance to stand before such build
ing on Sunday. One day he touched up
on the subject as gently US he could by
saying:
Mrs. Black, that amt q very fine
church You and the judge go to-
mo, Peter" said the lady, cit is not
a very grand one.''
Mrs. Black, do you spec to tend
enat cnurcn every SunCay:
Z "Yes, Peter, until they get better
one.''
'"Well, Mrs. Black, I wanted to AK
you somethin, though I don't much like
to say it, marm.'
"What is it, Peter?"
"Well, marin, wanted to tell you
de drivers Of de other members of de
cabinet kinder makes fun of me bout
standin fore dat meetin house, and
wanted to AK you if you hadn't no OBJ
lection to let me drive down to dat fine
Presbyterian church where de other big
men go and stand dere wild my carriage
until your meetin is out, an den drive
back for you and de judge"
"All right. Peter. if you'll be on
Time" said Mrs. Black, and Peter salts
fed his mind that he saved the credit of
the family and of his horses and car
rage afterward by standing regularly
with the fine turnouts of the other cab.

SUMMER OPERA SEASON.


Optnsd Anspsclously st the Tower By the
He, bert Company.
The second season of summer opera
was auspiciouslv inaugurated at the
Watch Tower theatre last evening
before q large, brilliant and appre-
ciative audience, the accommoda-
tions OF the open-air play house be-
ing taxed to the utmost. Many gen.
eral Improvements have been made
in the theatre since last season by
General Manager Lardner, and these
include the stretching OF q canvas
canopy over the portion Of what
answers to the description of the
parquet circle. the adoption OF q
most admirable idea not only in con-
tributing to the comfort of the audi
ence. but in supplying the missing
quality in the acoustic properties
and making ali parts of the place
equally advantageous as to the re-
ception of sounds. The scenic effects
have been heightened through the
skill Of Artist Hare and many ap-
propriate suggestions added.
1t would be invidious to compare
the company which George Herbert
has organized this sc .son with the
one engaged to sing at the Tower o
year ago, for in the latter the favor
ties had been picked and there is
very naturally a tendency to view
with bypercriticism those who ap-
pear in their places. 1t should suf-
flee to say that the company of last
evening in 1.-The Chimes of Nor
mandy" gave general satisfaction.
especially for the first night, and
while We may reasonably expect
some Improvements and possibly q
slight shifting Of the cast, the pro-
duction on the whole was not dissp-
pointing. There is so much that is
really delightful in general air
and comic situation in The Chimes
that q company which makes any
Pretense 10 singing light opera has
no excuse for not giving on the
whole a clever performance. In
deed. one seldom tires of its catchy
music and bright incidents. and
the first production has SO caught
the popular fancy that we
are to have q number Of repetitions
before going on to the next opera in
the series. NJ IS Julia Glover makes

minded that gum was not discovered

particularly we'll received. Miss
Emily Francis. prima donna suprano,
in Germaine, was all that could be
wished for. OF course George Her.
bert was the star Of the evening as
far as dramatic portrayal is con.
cerned. His Gaspard is, as was
discovered in his last years engage.
ment, in truth a stage creation, a
piece Of rarely fine acting. F,ank
Rushworth's tenor in Grenicheux
was pleasing. Henri Laurent's Mar.
quis was we'll acted, but his baritone
is play ed out. Our our friend, John.
son. should be brought up from the
chorus and put in the part. James
Donnelly, as the Notary. made a hit in
refreshing comedy and James Dur
ant, as Bailii, was fair. The chorus,
although not too voluminous. is we'll
trained and fully sufficient. The
opera is q success.

Seems as if all the things we like
disagree with US. and all the things
we don't like, agree with us. Dys-
pepsia turks in most of the good
things we eat. and indigestion fol-
lows the qualification of appetite.

RECALLS A BIT OF HISTORY
Gen. Wager Swayne Once Military Governor of
 Alabama

The recent visit of Gen. Wager Swayne of New York to this city in connection wish the chancery hearing of the East and West Alabama railroad case, recalls an interesting bit cf history.
 General Swayne was distinguished soldier in the late civil war on the union side, and lost his right leg at the battle of Salcahatchie, S. c.
 At the close of the war he was ap- pointed military commander of the state of Alabama and was in supreme contrial from 1865 to 1868.
 During this period the feeling was in tensely bitter on the part of the south ern people agains: the officers and sol diers sent to rule over them, but Gensral Swayne SO conducted himself and so justly and considerably discharged his unpleasant dutSes, that no one has yet said anything against him. On the cisn- tiary, the people who knew him shluty years ago, speak of him in the highest terms of praise.
 For the past twelve years Genlral

TRAVELLED ON A PASS.
And So lie Thought He Owned the Whole
 Road.

From the Washington Star.
 Tt b ings joy 10 my soul to see grum- bier laid low" remarked a travelling man to reporter of the Star, recently, and
 when asked for the story implied, the following was related:
 We were making the run from New York to Washington. It was a fast train, in charge of an amiable conductor. The porter in our ear had the patience of
 Joib and the good nature peculiar to fat men There was no crying babies aboard; not single bridal couple; no compla n- ing old maids, and no "boy orator." In fact it was an ideal travelling combin- ation, with single exception.
 'In the face of this all-around com fort, there was well-known Washington
 man aboard, who had as much fault to
 find as if he were a passenger on one of the Fourteenth street cars going north,
 at the present writing. Nothing suited
 him, and the service and attention he demanded proclaimed him nothing short of a bank president or a director of the road. During the entire run we heard
 nothing but complaints The roadbed was uneven as a cobblestone street. | There wasn't thing obtainable in the | dining car fit to eat. The smoking | compartment was so small a man cou' d
 not stretch his legs and so on, until the | rest of us would have willingly endured | a wreck to put a quietus on the kicker's
 disagreeable tongue, or at least furniS he'd | him a substantial reason for his whole l sale complaining
 1 "It was trying ordeal for his fellow 1 messengers and our comb med sympa thy went out to the continually abused DOT ter The grumbler made the atmosphere O. the car heavy with the most emphatic
 oaths in the unchrisiian language and the air was rendered a dark blue by his
 profane eloquence. A gensral prayer of 1 thankfulness ascendsd heavenward when
 the grumbler finally slept. We evsn en- ] dured his snoring without a murmur. ! The next morning, which was Saturday,. ] he was the firstt person up, and he made things lively in that car Pretty soon everybody else was up, and the people were sitting in their seats holding on , to grips and umbrellas < eady to fly di-
 rectly the train steamed ' to he station.
 '"rhe grumbler was-seing brushed by i the porter down in the front of the car,
 and every movement of the broom in the J porter's. hand was accompanied by vo'- 1 ley of profanity. At the conclusion of
