gor, Me. to San Francisco and had good houses all along the line.
 Coming back to New York we leased the Theater Comique, where we struggled along for a year, paying eX- penses but making nothing because the house had been run down by Matt Nor gan, one of the greatest scenic artists and cartoOniStS that this country ever produced, who ruined himself by orig mating and producing living pictures twenty years before his time. His en- tertainments, which were artistically magnificent, were stigmatized as ''vul- gar" by the public. who years after paid out small fortunes to persons who utilized his idea in a much less refined and pleasing way.
 At his old place I began my series of "Mulligan" plays, ten in number, pro- ducing them as sketches at first and then amplifying them into three act plays. making the charac- ters striking types of the people in the lower wards of the city, and I followed these by dramas Pete, "Waddy Googan," "Old Laven- der" and others. Prospering well, we built Harrigan and Hart's New Thea ter Comique and presented there all my own plays, including "The Major" "Squatter Sovereignty" "The Black bird, 'McSorley's Inf1ation," "Investi- gation," and so on, and in the height of our success the theater burned down uninsured and put an end to it all
 After that Hart and I separated and l took the old Aquarium for time, but was forced to build again for the reason that my success was such that I was the prey of landlords who wanted ex- orbitant rents from me. I built Harri- gan's, now the Garrick Theater, which is Mrs. Harrigan's property, and still the daintiest and prettiest of the city theaters, and played there for a time with my son, Edward. After his death, at the age of 1S we leased the place. as had become convinced that the actor manager-with the exception of Angus tin Daily that most indefatigable and successful worker-has little chance In competition with the purely business or speculative manager.

I am paid for the work. and I do love it so,' she said.
 They are supposed to work from to 5, but they leave off work when they can, and it may be any hour of the night. The hills are steep and cars do not go everywhere and money Is scarce. Sometimes the work is very discour- aging, but almost every place the nurses patients love her and look for her coming and try so hard to do as she asks them. The nurses are subject to call at night, for sick ones may grow worse, or they may be called to receive small newcomer.
 An old woman lay in her room alone for two months. The neignb.r3 came in when they could and helped her, but the women of the poor have so much of their own to do. It was only the second visit of the nurse aud she had not fully gained the confidence of her patient. It takes sometimes many vis- Its to gain any response, but usually 1t is immediately given.

 The eyes gave half consent for though the old lady said she felt pretty well, she was in an advanced state of consumption, and also she had a can cer. No precaution had been taken to prevent the spread of either contagion
 It was joy to see the transforma- tion, how deftly that linen was changed and the patient gratitude of the suf- fering old face. She drew the line off sharp at water. however.

 The dirt worried her, and it troubled her that strangers should have to wait on her.
 "I always liked it nice, but now it makes me so sick when I sit up"
 "Of course it does. You have always worked for others, so that is why we love to help you now"
 On a chair drawn close to the bed was a small oil stove where the old lady did her cooking New supplies were with in reach on a table and on the bed

When the Methodist conference at Law renee, KanS., was almost ready to close some of the ministers were discussing the appointments and agreed among them selves that everything was coming out satisfactorily, the appointments having all been fixed up. Then another preacher bade his brethren not to be too sure For said he, 'I was in conference with Bishop Fowler once and we fixed every thing up, and then the Bishop asked to be allowed to commune with God awhile The rest of us retired, and from the con- dition in which we found the appoint that if the Bishop talks with God again to-day, he is likely to break that slate of ours into pieces so small we can't write our names on 'em.

IF you go along Sutter street till
 YOU come to No. 639 you see a
 brown house standing back from
 the street. It bears the sign. San A Francisco Fruit and Flower Mis- sion"
 Years ago some girls wanted to help those who had less than they them selves, so they formed themselves into a society to visit and read to the sick and try to brighten their shut-in lives with flowers and fruit.
 The work grew. Now the name Is most misleading. At the Congress of Charities the work of caring for the sick of all the societies was given to the Fruit and Flower Mission. each so ciety contributing a certain amount toward the expense.
 Mrs Buckingham, the vice-presi- dent. had asked me to meet her at the Thursday morning meeting of the so- cietv. The ladies were discussing ways and means and filling baskets with groceries to carry to their charges.
 Those who were able to come or send were there. waiting for their weekly supply.
 One pretty little girl came in timidly. "I was to come here this morning"
 Yes. indeed. that's all right. What is your name?"
 Mary Wilson"
 The list was consulted and basket given to her
 This is for you"
 She looked at it, then at the giver, and back to the basket.
 But this is enough for lotsi"
 "Yes, that is to last for a week. Don't you understand?'
 "Oh, something to eat every single day! To-...orrow, too?"
 She was not accustomed to three meals a day every day in the week.
 The mission is absolutely non-sec- tarian. The workers are Jewish. Cath olic. Protestant, Theosophst. hey have never clashed and there are no dis cords.
 It is a fashionable society and works both ways. Those who give are edu cated in life as it is as well as those who receive. Two trained nurses are employed to do the work where skill and training is necessary. Also they teach those. they visit how to take care of themselves, their children and their homes.
 I went with one of the nurses on her rounds. Promise not to say any thing about me. I should be ashamed.

On the very next block there was a milk wagon standing in front of a store and the driver jumped in. pulled the wrong rein and turned the horse right on the track, and I had to stop short again

and several other Democratic papers
are disposed to think that we took en-
tirely too much from poor old Spain

we are to pay. The Sun maintains
that Spain was entirely helpless and
at the mercy OF President Mckinley,

few minutes later Calvin Mccoy was
killed aud all Of the Mccoy women
were injured Old Randolph escaped
however.
There were raids inuumerahle after
that. some by the McCoys, some by
officers OF the law, but most of them
by the Hathelds. The feud went on
despite the efforts Of the authorities
to stop it. until March, 1901, when it
was declared off, Peace lasted until
February, 1905. when Hatfield adj
herent named Cutler. killed Henry
Chaffiin, of the Mccoy clan with a
chunk of coal That reopened the
feud, and it ragged up to the time of
the wedding of Mary Mccoy and
Aaron Hatfield.
The last big row occurred on election
day, 1896 Cap Hatfield came into
Mate~an with rifle, a shot gun, and
two pistols. He cast his vote, inn
bibed a lot Of moonshine whiskey,
then went out in the street. and run.
ming across Rutherford Mccoy. SHOT
him dead. Walking up the street he
ran across Henderson Chambers,
Mccoy man, and MORALLY wounded
him. Then with his twelve. year.old
boy be cleared out closely pursued by
Rutherford Mccoy, Ir. The latter
ook shot at cap as he ran, and the
bullet grazed Hatfeld's hand Wheel
ing around, Cap dropped to his knee,
took carefu aim, and put bullet
through young Rutheriord's heart
Cap was captured few days later
and put in the Williamson Jail. He
was convicted of manslaughter and
served three month. Then he escaped
from the Jail and is today free man.
The most remarkable thing about the
feud as it stands today is the uuwil-
lingness OF the West Virginia author
tiles to punish any of the Hathelds
for their crimes. They are afraid Of
reopening the feud. For just as sure
as Hatfield is arrested and prosecut.
ed the rest OF the Hatfelds will blame
it on the McCoys and raid will fol-
low. The McCoys have repeatedly
sought for revenge through the
courts, while the Hatfields have always
settled differences with their guns.
The Hatfields always regard the Nc
coys with suspicion, and if there is
fresh trouble it will be because some
of the McCoys are caught trying to
set the machinery Of justice going.
