What a study it is to sit in a theater
lnl watch the varying shades of eX-
preston passing across the counten-
anres Of ,he audience' The full stage
lights are blazing and all interest is
riveted on the actors. In the house all
lights are turned down unCl the people
are ghOstlike in the shadow. On the
long rows of upturned faces one can
see mirrored the scenes transpiring be-
yond the footlights. In the intense,
expcctant pass ,goS. where some thrill
ing denouement is coming, the specta-
tors hardly breathe. Where a laugh is
on the tapis mouths begin to open and
everybody gets a good ready to take
advantage of ii. People grow so in
tent, il the portrayal be a good one,
that hey entirely forget themselves.
They see nothing, hear nothing but
what is TRANSPORTING on the stage. For
tie moment they are transported to
some other time, some other place
rhey live the experiences of the char
acters they see. II becomes so real
that they laugh with them, rage with
them, weep with them, and it Is NOT
until the curtain falls and the crash of
the orchestra playing the recessional
sounds in their ears chat they come
back to their own suTroundlngs.-Co-

viii Frances Wizards Statue Grace
"Statuary HaIl"2

Capitol Architect Edward Clarke, of
Washington, is doubtful whether he
can accept the statute of Francis E.
Willard to be placed in Statuary Hall.
1t has been selected by the citizens of
Illinois to represent the state in that
collection of statesmen and thinkers
which now adorns the Capitol. Ar
chitect Clarke's objection is that he is
uncertain whether the statute could be
admitted under the law, which says
that to be admitted one must be a
person" and a Citizen" We do not
think the ground well taken, for in the
largest sense Miss Willard was both a
person" and citizen. ."-Philadel-
phia Enquirer.
The objection ought to be on differ
ent and sufficient ground. Statuary
Hall, in the Capitol of the United
States, ought not to be made the dump
ing ground for that statues that asso-
ciatfons of individuals may think they
would like to have there. 1t is not an
offense to the worth of the late Miss
Willard to say that there is no better
reason for putting her statute in the
Capitol than there is for introducing
the marble of bronze effigy of John B.
Cough or Francis Murphy. And what
a few citizens of Illinois may want
does not necessarily represent the
state.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

fact, the whole country, should hold them

SECRETARY ALGER'S RETIREMENT.
He Resigns, to Take Effect Aug. ILLUMINATION Of the
Raid of Yellow Journalism.

The bitter fight which certain news
papers and the bureaucratic ring i'll the
War Department have been making on
Secretary Alger almost since the day OF his
entrance into the Cabinet, has at last Gull
minated in his rendering his resignation,
to take effect Aug. 1, and its acceptance by
the President.
The air has been full for months of
rllmors of resignation, and of Cabinet dis
SenSiOnS and Secretary Alger has been
represented as saying that he intended
retiring after making out his report, or at
the end of the year.
Last week, the story goes, the matter
reached an acute stage and the President
decided upon asking for the Secretary
resignation. The matter took very
roundabout way. Nice-President Hobart
is a strong friend cf the Secretary, and IL
was decided to send Attorney-Gen. Grlggs
to the Vice-PreSident to represent the views
of the President. and he should communi-
cate them to the Secretary. Mr.. Hobart
asked Gen Alger to visit him at his resi-
dence, "Normanhurst," Long Branch, and
the Secretary went thither accompanied
by his close friend, Maj. Geo. III. Hopkins,
who was his Adjutant-General when he
was Commanderin-Chie of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Gen. Alger returned to Washington,
Tuesday evening, July IS, and the next
morning went directly to the White House.
He only stayed there a few minutes, and
refused to talk to the newspaper men when
he came out. Subsequently the following
correspondence was given out:
JULY 10, 1889.
SIR: beg to tender to you my resigna-.
ton of the Office Of Secretary of War. TO take
effect al such time in the nesr future as you
may decide the affairs OF this Department
will permit.
In terminating my official connection
with your administration | wish for you
continuous health and the highest measure
Of success in carrying out tine great work
intrustod to you. have the honor to be,

An officer of the 1st Ill. L.. A. who had been
captured near Atlanta, July %, 1864, was
one OF the characters of the prison. He had
been struck over the head with a musket
butt at the time of his capture, and thus
rendered insane. Ordinarily he was quiet
enough, but on dark and stormy nights his
affected brain took his mind back to the
| battlefield, and in clear, Stentorian voice
| he would be heard giving orders to his
battery. He would yell all the orders OF
| the light battery drill, and the crazy people
over in the asylum would take I'D his cries
and scream their loudest. Then some one
| of the YankS would cry out, Pack I'D
All Exchanged" and that was the signal
| for a general uproar. Every man in the
camp would yell something. We would
| hear the drums beat and our guards would
turn out and double guard the sentry-boxes
and man the artillery. They threatened
| to open fire on us if the noise was ever re-
peated, but after few quiet nights the
uproar would break out again. Some OF
the prisoners, fearing that the artillery
might be opened on the camp, dug trenches
| in the earth.

The Government aims TO have an effective

is to send the troops across the Pacific by
battalions; that is, as soon as a battalion

possible, and the recruiting be continued
until another and then third battalion
