Swayed by q Play.

An impressive instance of play that
influenced q human life comes from one
of the northern towns, where o very
striking play was being performed in
which the disastrous consequences fol-
lowing on the love of two men for the
same woman were realistically precent-
ed. A young engineer who had conceiv-
ed violent affection for girl who had
resented his attentions in view Of the
fact that she loved another man, who
CHANGED to be the engineers bosom
friend, witnessed this play one even
ing, and it made very deep impression
on him, as it seemed almost to have
been written to apply to his own I'M
happy situation. Act by act the tragic
story was unfolded, jealousy of the dis
appointed lover ending in crime and
punishment md when at length the
curtain fell the engineer had come to o
decision. He went home, packed up a
few necessaries and week later set
out for Australia, where, by lucky
stroke year later, he made mighty
fortune. He attributed all his success
to the play in question, for had he never
seen it he would never have gone away
from England, and perhaps some awful
occurrence might have arisen from his
unrequited passion. London Standard.

The officers of the Vizcaya said
they simply comic not hold their

rapid fire poured in upon them.
The decks were flooded with water
from the fire hose and blood from
the dead and wounded on the deck.
Fragments of bodies foated in this
along the gun deck. Every instant
the crack OF Exploding shells told OF
new havoc. One of the i2-inch shells
from the Iowa exploded torpedo in

dropping them dead and mangled
into the fire which TIT once started

why Princeton Appealed to the Clevelands

Shortly after the removal of the
Cleveland family to Princeton an un-
married lady, a close friend of Mrs
Cleveland, was visiting her.. writes a
close friend of the former mistress of
the White House in The Ladies' Home
Journal. "One day while the two wo-
men were in the nursery with the three
little Cleveland girls, the friend said
jokingly to Mrs. Cleveland:
Mercy me, Frances, how are yen
ever going to get all your daughters
married off? You see from me that NAM
ma could not do it in New York.
Exactly replied Mrs. Cleveland.
But what better place could there be
than college town like Princeton, I
should like to know"

The French at Fashoda.

There Is an element OF both tragedy
and comedy in tho curious position oc-
cupled by Major Marchand az Fashods.

able his government 70 make much

grows TOO serious for a Joke. The ar
rival OF the Anglo Egyptian expedition
AZ Fashoda would seem 70 have sayed
the little party Of French explorers. and
IL is said 10 be- hoped they will be con
tent with their good luck. There rs
something luIicrous IN tho feyerish
anxiety with which France Is stretching
out TO grasp new territories which can
only be a burden 20 her people; but ~
all the instances OF this national folly.
none can be more foolish than that which
strives for a precarious and isolated
footing on the upper waters OF the Nile.
Experience shows that distant posses
sions, unless cOlonizcd by tho intraclng
race. are never profitable possessions 10

involve hostility 20 powerful neighbors.
Il IS little short Of insanity 10 seek them.
