The greatest gift that an actor or ac
tress can possess is personal magnetism.
1t is the open sesame to the hearts of the
public the touchstone of success. No
woman on the stage is said to have this
sixth sense so strongly developed as
Fanny Rice who comes TO the Academy
next week in her most successful produc-
ton AT the French Ball" Miss Rice Is
one Of the very few women on the stage
who are genuinely funny. 1t is a gift in
her sex still more rare than magnetism
and has won her place at the very top
Of the list Of condolences of the day.
When the managers of the famous all
star cast of The Rivals" were looking
around for a Lucy, Joe Jefferson selected
Miss Rice for the role, and the fact that
she scored a distinct success amid such a
galaxy Of stars is proof sufficient of the
wisdom Of the selection.
She is said 10 be the very embodiment
Of fun. Light-hearted, with a gaiety that
is most contagious, with a smile that sets
every face in her audience aglow and a
laugh that rings true and hearty and
evokes a responsive one from every sec
ton Of the theater she brings sunshine
and light 10 the stage and sends dull care
in tumbling haste from the locality she
inhabits. AT the French Bali is a
pretty play with a clever story to carry
the interest, and plenty of chance for
Miss Rice and her company. There are
tuneful songs, funny turns in eccentric
| comedy and some fine dancing but after
all ii is Fanny Rice who will draw the
crowds.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
The Inst of His Race.

Creston Clarke and a strong support
ing company presented the romantic
drama "The Last of His Race" at the
Lyceum last night. 1t is a drama with
strong vein of human interest that
holds the attention of the audience from
beginning to end. 1t tells the story of
how the aged Prince Okolski learns upon
his death bed that his only son and heir
is alive and living in Brittany, having
been carried off years before by one of
the Princes serfs to avenge a wrong
This son has been brought up by Brit
tany priest as Loris Cardel, and had been
supposed to be the nleg1timate son of
the Prince. Cardel meets and falls in
love with Marie de Neuville, whose aunt
wishes her to marry an impecunious cap
tain in the Russian army Nicola Nara
chef, nephew of Prince Okolski, and
next in kin.
Just as Naracheff has been refused in
marriage by Marie, news is brought to
him that the Prince has died and that
he has succeeded to the vast estates. He
Is also informed that his successful rival,
Loris Cardel, is a serf and therefore a
part of the property. Naracheff claims
him, and states that he will humiiate the
young artist by announcing to his tiance
the fact that he is a serf. and Ineligible
to contract a marriage. Cardel tells the
discovery of his lowly birth TO Marie
hlmSelf, IN remarkably strong scent,
but disclams his belief and starts out
for Southern Russia to ascertain the
truth.
A succession of stirring incidents fol-
low during which he wounds Naracheff
in duel. Cardel establishes mis- right to
the estates of the Prince Okolski, and the
curtain falls upon very happy scene.
Mr.. Clarke gave a vivid and forceful
portrayal of the role of Loris CardeI.
His versatility was shown by his work
as the aged Prince Okolski in the first
act. Miss Adelaide Prince, his leading
lady, is a graceful and beautiful woman
and talented actress. r. S. Barrett, of
this city, made an excellent impression
by the manner in which he interpreted
the role of Miclovitch. Miss Jessie NJ.
Fisher, of this city, also had small part
in the cast. She is the wife of Harry
Storms, of this city, the manager of the
company.

HOW THE BILL WAS PAID.

hours stopped at fashionable restau-
rant where they were well known. Co
ing up to the proprietor, one of the men
asked him to Join them in a bottle"
and while the waiter was attending to
the order the trio discussed the destruc-
tion of the Maine and the possible
causes and effects of the disaster

ers, this bottle is on bet"
What was it, and who lost?" asked
the host.
well, that's the question" and the
brokers laughed knowingly.
It's like this" said one. Coming
uptown I bet my friend that the first
shell from a Spanish man-of-war to
fall within the city limits will strike
south Of Fourteenth street; he says it
will fall above that point"
II suppose" said the host, that un-
til we have war with Spain this bottle
will be like the tin roof-on the house
but you should be more original. That
trick was played on a landlord up in
the Mohawk Valley more than fifteen
years ago. 1t was like this: The lead
ers of the sporting set of the place came

horse at intervals of about month
Is due in a considerable degree to the
natural growth of the horses hoofs,
which require trimming or other at
tention about once in so often. In the
case of iron shoes, at the end of a
month, they are likely to be too much
worn to go another month, and new
shoes are put on. In the case OF rub
Der pad shoes, if they are not too much
worn, they are reset, and this may be
done in perhaps 40 or SO per cent. of
the cases. Sometimes the old shoes
may be put back with new pads, some
times the old pads with new shoes:
it depends a good deal on the manner
in which the horse wears them. So
that while the first cost of rubber pad
shoes is considerably greater than that
of plain shoes, the net cost is not so
much greater.
The price charged for shoeing a pri-
Vate coach or carriage horse is a dollar
more than for shoeing a work horse,
or $3.50, and rubber-pad shoes, such
as those described, for carriage horses,
cost So or Sc a set. Such horses are
reshod ordinarily. like most horses,
once a month, and as a rule their shoes
li' ttiSo ltStl III the tIluult OIL lne
month. And the shoes of private car
riase horses are more commonly kept
sharpened in slippery weather than are
those of work horses. Women are more
likely to be disturbed by the slipping
Of horse than a man would be, and
the carriage horses are usually more
valuable than work horses. and less
risk Of injury is taken.
In some cases it might be that the
charge for shCelng a horse, either a
carriage horse or a work horse, would
be according to the time required rath-
er than by the job, as. for example,
in the case of 4 lame horse, in shoeing
which more than the usual time would
he needed. Shoes are made and fitted
to meet any requirement, and the cost
might be, according to the amount of
work and time expended, from 81 to
s. for a single shoe.

on that point. He looked up his rec

THREATS OF A SUIT AGAINST

CLAIM OF EXPENSES FOR TAX
ING CARE OF FooR CASES-oTH-
Err BENWooD NOTES.
The city officials of Benwood are
making a vigorous kick against the
methods employed by the Marshall
county commissioners in taking care
CT the poor. The commissioners ap-
point oyerseers for the poor IN eacn
OF the districts of the county. The
Benwocd authorities are kicking Oh
account of the TACT that the oyel seer
appointed for the Benwood district
lives in the country, six miles from
town, and is never obtaInabie when
needed They say he does not come
to town for weeks, and consequently
all the cases OF unfOrLunates wno re-
quire assistance are handed over to
the city to lie taken care OF. A Ben
weed official, in speaking Of the mat
te, vestel LAY, said that the tax payers
of the county were assessed to keep
I'D the poor fund, and that the town OF
Benwood haa no provision for suCn
cases. Yet invariably, however, when
ever there is any person who needs aid
tho city is compelled to assume cnargs
CT the case, anu Is never reimbursed
by the county. Tie recent smallpox
case in Benwood is cited as an exam
pie of this. 1t cost Benwood over $500
TO keep the smallpox patient in quar-
antine, and prevent the disease from
spreading. The council put i'll q
aim for this amount to the board
of county commissioners, who unhes-
itatingly rejected and refused to pay
the claim. Benwood NV threatens
t. bi,ng suit against lie county Tor
TIE amount When ever an accident
occurs, and they are frequent in Ben
wood, and the patient has no money
to pay for medicine Or treatment, the
city authorities have to bear the eX-
penses.
There are two such cases on hand
at the present time. A stranger was
hurt the other day while riding on
a freight car, and was taken to the
Benwood City Hall, where he is being
cared for, and the city officials, or a
representative, state that the town
will have to bear the responsibility
in the case CT the emp DYE Of the Rlv-
erside mill, who YVES overcome by heat
and is lying very i'll. The county com.
.nissioners are directly chai ged WIN
appointing a person who lives outside
of town, so that he will be unable To
take care of the cases that would nat
urally be given him for attention.
Benwood officials insist that an over
seer should be appointed in this town
to take care OF all cases Of this
character
