ABIG-HAND, THE BEAR.

In Boston theatre the other evening
young woman did dance that pleased
the audience much and subjected her to
a great physical strain. The audience
was infested with encore fiends. The
result was that the girl was mercilessly
compelled to repeat the dance five times,
and only after she had succumbed to the
strain and collapsed could the noisy
nuisances be induced to allow the per-
of the cast, under the care of a physi-
clan, for week after this ordeal
Abig-foot the bear makes trouble in
the audience, and Abig-hand the bear
makes trouble on the stage. A single
and pleasing compliment. 1t will usu-
ally fully satisfy the performer and the
audience, except the encore fiends. But
to keep frenziedly calling a tired and
putting performer back for a poor imi-
tation of good thing is an unreasona-
BILE and in many cases cruel act But
neither Abig-foot nor Abig hand, (bad
cess to 'em both), seems to care about
being reasonable or kind. They mean to
enjoy themselves and get their moneys
worth, regardless Of others. The law
being on, they can't be shot, but they
can be and are roundly "cussed."

A FINE CHANCE.

The more the report of the committee
on receipts and expenditures is looked
at the brighter it shines. The commit
tee did it's work just as such work ought
to be done. There is no partisanship in
the report and no friendship. Indeed,
it is quite Spartan in some of it's recon-
mendations. The report is generally ap-
proved, to all outward appearances, but
outward appearances are deceitful, and
those whose personal interests would
suffer by the adoption of the recommen-
dations of the committee are not going
to be as Spartan as the committee was,
They are already at work and they are
not going to lose any of the "fat" if
they can help it.
This legislature has fine chance to
distinguish itself. If it would hold a
short session and promptly make every
one of the economies suggested by the
bold and honest committee it would
make name for itself that would go
echoing down the corridors Of time.
Those members who don't care for such
an echo might find some satisfaction
during their lifetime in the thought of
duty well done. Will the echo and the
duty be attractive enough to defeat all
the efforts Of the honey-buzzers? We
fear and we trow not, but we shall be
very glad to find that our fearing and
cur trowing were too pessimistic.

The pursuit Of Cervera's fleet is not
without it's parallels in history. The
search for Sir John Franklin was a
great deal like trying to find needle
in haystack. His expedition was last
spoken in July, 1S45, and thereafter
disappeared without trace into the then
unknown maze of sounds and islands
between Baflnland and British North
America, comprising sixty degrees Of
longitude and nearly twenty-five OF lat
itude, hidden in Arctic darkness, bound
in ice and covered with snow for the
greater part of every year. More than
twenty expeditions searched that i'm
mense area, first for the explorers. and
then for documents telling Of their
fate. but it was not until 1859 that Sir
Francis McClintock, in command Of
Lady Franklin's forlorn hope, the lit
tie Fox, succeeded where so many had
failed. Nelson's celebrated quest after
the French feet, previous to the battle
OF the Nile. throughout the Mediter-

other notable historical example Of

OUR CLUB WOMEN IN LONDON.
American organization Lately Started
In English Capital.

American organization Lately Started
In English Capital.
A woman's club has lately been or
ganized in London by Americans.
The American club woman is not tc
be subdued merely because she hap
pens to be somewhat far from the land
OF her birth. The latest development
of the woman's club is the organiza-
tion founded by the women from this
country who live in London. The club
has been as carefully organized as II
it were in an American city, and
rooms have been engaged in one of
the leading London hotels. In order
that the women may see one another
frequently and not have time to lose
interest, an arrangement has been
adopted by which during nine months
of every year the club members will
be certain to meet once every four
weeks. Then luncheon will be given.
During the late summer and at other
times when the members are not likely
to be in London the regular plan OF
meeting will be abandoned. The OBJ
ject of the club is to provide for
American women in London place Of
meeting similar to those which exist
there now for English women. The
American residents of London have
enjoyed the privileges of the women's
clubs. but they have come to feel that
they would probably enjoy themselves
much more in club that would be
American as we'll as limited exclusive
ly to the use Of women. So the clubs
quarters were engaged in one Of the
largest London hotels, and the extern
sive club life of London has received
another addition. The women's clubs
OF New York have never been so pop
ular with the sex or SO generally sue
cessful as those of London. The only
effort made to establish one Of these
organizations on an elaborate basis
failed. The club as an institution,
however. is far less necessary here
than 1t is abroad, whatever the partic-
ular character of the organization may
be. That is shown by the greater
number of London's clubs. They may
not be so elaborate or luxurious as
New York's organizations of the same
kind. but they are more numerous and
are less frequently in financial embar-
rasSment.
