Gently played good practical joke on
his wife, who had had a great deal Of

new one every day and was weary of
the struggle to obtain an efficient help

bright-looking girl applied and was
taken on trial. She was entirely salts

congratulated herself on securing a
jewel
About noon a note from Fregoli ar
rived and was handed to her mistress
by the new maid. 1t stated that the
actor would not be home until evening,
as he was going on a little outing with
some friends. Evening came but no
Fregoli. His wife was distracted when
a messenger from the theatre called at
the house to say that the actor had not
arrived to begin preparations for his
entertainment. The new servant con-
soled her mistress for a few minutes,
but finally she sent the girl to the thea
tire to see If there was any news of the
missing man.
The maid walked straight to the
actors dressing room; went in, and
closed the door In a few seconds the
door opened with a bang, and to the as
tonishment of every one, including the
actors wife, who had hurried after her
messenger, there stood Fregoli. The
dress and makeup of the servant were

SOME IMMENSE FIGURES

Joseph Jefferson's matinee at the
Academy of Music in Baltimore, two
weeks ago Saturday, resulted in the
gross receipts of $24O5.25, the largest fig
ures in the history of the house, and
possibly, the greatest amount of money
ever taken in at any theatre for a matt
nee. OF the engagement, the Baltimore
Herald printed the following:
1.-THE engagement of Joseph Jefferson,
which closed at the Academy of Music
last night, was the most successful and
satisfactory in the series of that gen
tleman's visits to Baltimore. The actor
himself expressed extreme pleasure at
the hearty reception rendered him and
demonstration of the esteem and regard
of the people of this city. He played
to big houses at each performance-so
big, in fact, that even the chairs occu-
pied by the orchestra had to be given
up by the musicians for the accommo-
dation of Mr.. Jefferson's admirers.

and character The leading part of
Seth Higgins is played by Archie Boyd,
whose skill as character actor is well
known, he having appeared for several
seasons as Joshua Whitcomb in 1.-THE
Old Homestead, and as Uncle Nat in
Shore Acres Realism is the keynote
of the play, and every scene and char
acter IN it is made to conform to this
principle. The scenes are laid in
Bridgewater, N. H., in 1852 when
Franklin Pierce was president. The
fret act is the village post office, then
changes to the village green on train
ing day, the only day in the year I'M
der the old militia law, when every
body had to drill. The music by the
village band, the dance on the village
green by the village girls, and the
realistic shower Of rain are interesting
features at the end of the first act. The
second act is given to the donation
party to the Baptist minister. Here
the home-hke but plain sitting-room,
with its ample fireplace, is seen, and
the singing by the village choir is all
to life. The third act shows an old
fashioned threshing scene and the last
aoe4s the interior of the village church
by-pight, where preparations are be-
ingsmede for the wedding of Miranda.
The-story Of the play is the old one of
love, and is interestingly told through
many striking and realistic situations.
