Making Home Hideous.

If you are filled with a single minded
desire to "make home hideous at a small
cost you can paint flowers on panels of
doors, on mirrors, and on antimaccassarS.
The result will well repay any little
trouble it may cost. For a very few shi-
lings you may buy quite large number
OF china animals, plush photograph
frames, glass vases, pintrays, boxes and
candlesticks, little thought will enable
you to avoid the purchase of any but the
really useless, and with these you can
litter your mantlepieces and tables till
there is no room left to put down book,
or pipe, or teacup. You can paint al
most anything with enamel paint, from a
mahogany sideboard to a marble mantle
piece; if you are firm with your mother
she may even submit to your painting the
walnutwood wardrobe in the best bed
room, which is, as you know, shamefully
old-fashioned. Boston Journal

MORO Castle.

There is a MORO castle at Havana anc
one at San Juan, Porto Rico. Many per
sons are curious to know why the Span
iards have those two castles of the same
name.
The word Moro in Spanish means
promontory and these castles are so named
because they are perched upon command
ing elevations in the two cities.
The word has frequently been spelled
Moro and is supposed rather generally to
mean 'the Moor" but the spelling and
the Interpretation are incorrect. There
is rocky plateau in Mexico which is also
called Moro, and on its vertical sides are
inscriptions which We're cut by the early
Spanish invaders of that country Moro
castle, Havana, was once considered one
OF the most powerful fortresses in the
world, but it is out of date now and when
the 13-inch guns of our warships are
turned loose on it, they will wreck it in
short order There are several fortihca-
cations in the vicinity Of Havana much
more formidable than the famous old castle
with its infamous history.

MILLIONAIRE BEFORE 30.
Exciting Career of a Wall Street
Speculator Now BEAD.

New York Dec. 22-ThOmas S. Mar
lor, who died suddenly, while on a visit
to this city, was a famous Spectator
in Wall street thirty years ago. He
came to this city from England, where
he was born in 1899. Young Marion re-
ceived but little school education and
at the age of u was put to the trade
of engine turning, but the concern fall
ing he went into a wholesale jewelry
store for a year or two and thence into
a dry goods establishment, where he
was a cashier for a business of from
$500 to $1,000 a day and at the same
time buyer for a jeweler, receiving 50
per week Though but Ia, Marion soon
doubled his pay by going into a real
estate office, where in a few months his
salary was increased to $500 per annum.
At II he embarked in the gold pen bus
mess and exhibited his pens in the
American Institute fair and received Il
diploma
vas is years old. He was forced to
suspend his business, and after settling
his affairs returned to deal in real
estate. In 1868 he had a few thousand
dollars in the bank and resolved to try
his fortunes in Wall street. After fiat
tering success for a time, an unlucky
turn Of the wheel in a single day de-
priVed him of $22, 600, almost his entire
capital. He then became a broker Of
1.-The street" and was one of the first
members from the Gold Exchange doing
business Tor several large houses. After
a varied experience in this line, he
opened a banking house in Wall street,
known as s. B. Benedict & Co. His
partner died in a few months and he
went on alone. and after doing a large
business for three and half years, re-
tired in 1865

SAW THE OLD COMEDY.
Large Audience Listens to the Famil-
lar Lines of "school for Scandal"

The work of Louis James, Kathryn
Kidder and Frederick Warde as indi-
viduaI stars has been accounted in past
years both satisfactory and disappoint-
ing, but as a star triunvirate, or at
least as a star triumvirate in Sheridan's
famous comedy, 1.-The School for Scan
daI," their work must be accounted as
wholly successful and satisfactory. AS
presented by them and their company,
which is we'll balanced and gives good
support, at the Grand Opera House last
night the old school comedy proved to
be one of the most finished and en-
jOyable events of the theatrical season.
It would be difficult to say which one
of the three stars deserves the most
credit for clever work in Sheridans
masterpiece. The parts of Charles Sur
face, Lady Teazle and Joseph Surface
are so widely different and the char
acterization of each so we'll drawn by
the respective stars that the triumVirate
and not the individual, deserves the
praise The admiration of the audience
last night changed in turn from the
cleverness of Miss Kidder to Warde's
portrayal of the suave and insidiOus
hypOcrite and the Hght-hearted and
bouyant Charles Surface that Louis
James created.
Had Mr.. Harry Langdon, who last
night was seen in the Characterization
of Sir Peter Teazle," at some time in
his stage career of many years, turned
from the line of support and assumed
the more ambitious plane OF star, the
combination might now have been q
quartette of stars instead of a triumvi-
rate. His portrayal of Lady Teazle's
husband was exceptional, and if not al
together, he nearly shared hOnOrs with
his three associates, who, in stage life
at least, are more fortunate than he.
Mr. I4angdon is a veteran of the stage,
and has supported some of the most
famous of American actors and act
resses.
Each of the three stars was given
curtain calls during the course of the
performance last night. The audience
was large enough to comfortably fill
both floors of the house.
The company is now on it's way to the
Pacific coast and will play an engage
ment in Topeka on it's return to the
east in the spring. If the present inten-
lions of the mana gers are carried out
"Othello'' will then be the bill.

More About the Balloon Trip Across
the Channel

New York, Dec. PA dispatch to the
Times from London says:
The Chronicle will publish tomorrow an
balloon trip across the channel, showing
that the Andree steering gear was tested
with perfect success. The sail used was
IS feet square instead of II feet the one
used in land experiments.
The aeronauts took their course when
the 200 foot trail rope was in water and
about double that obtained on land in Es-
sex several weeks ago This was not
surprising, for the FRACTIONAL resistance of
the trail rope in water was immense. An
other tests gave the same results, but this
time the balloon descended within two feet
of the waves. To keep the balloon at
even altitude was a task of the greatest
difficulty, and owing to cold air or the
water the sun-heated gas cooled with
lightning rapidly, demanding constant
expenditure of ballast to prevent falling
into the sea-

dropped behind thick cloud. The sud
den eclipse caused a rapid descent. and in

Percival Spencer, the famous aeronaut in
charge. promptly threw out ballast and
saved himself from the situation.
The balloon rose 1000 feet after clearing
the French cliffs and landed safely amid
Norman peasants four miles east of
Havre, having in five hours covered $50
miles, of which IS miles were over sea.

EXPENSE TOO GREAT.
Opposition to Hull Army Bill Takes
Form of 6 Minority Report

Washington Dec. 22-The bill for the
increase of the regular army which the
minority of the house committee on mill
tary affairs will offer as a substitute for
the Hull bill was drawn up by Repre-
sentative Hay of Virginia and is now in
the hands of the war department., where
an estimate is being made of the cost of
such a military establishment as it pro-
vides The bill drawn provides for
standing army of 10000 men, 1900 artil-
lery. 5000 infantry. 5000 cavalry and en-
gineer. ordnance and signal corps and gen.
eral staff.
To meet the existing exigency for troops
in Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines. EIa-
wall and the Ladrones, the bill provides
that the president may issue his proca-
nation for $4,000 additional volunteer
troops to be enlisted for two years. These

given preference for enlistment in the rev
volunteer army if they elect within u
days. The bill provides that no regular
TO the with Spain shall be mustered
out of the service. Mr.. Hay will file the
bill tomorrow with the clerk of the house.
The main contention the report will
make for the minority as against the Hull
bill for standing army of 100000 men is
that the future of the Philippines and
Cuba is yet undetermined. but that if the
standing army is increased to 100000 it will
