Sir Henry Irving's Visitors.

From the New York Sun.
During Sir Henry Irving's visit to
New York he is being sought out by
even more than the customary num-
ber of persons who are anxious to come
into contact. with a celebrity to get
either advice or more practical assist
ance. AS the actor is accustomed to
spend much of his time in his rooms
resting from the strain of social or pro-
fessional engagements, it is necessary
for him to be protected against intru-
ders, and for that reason very strin-
gent rule has been adopted by him.
Cards are sent to his room only during
certain brief periods of the day. Visi-
tors at any other time might as we'll
try to break into the office safe as to get
access to the actor. For an hour at
midday and again late in the afternoon
the clerks in the Office assist Sir Hen
tent of letting him see their cards. OF
course. only a small portion of them
are ever received upstairs One of the
other hotels has recently adopted "a
somewhat similar measure, not for the
protection of any individual guest. but
with. the idea of securing immunity for
all of them from undesirable persons.
Probably many hundreds come ever J
day to this great establishment, and on
every floor there are sub-offices. \
stranger calling there must receive
from a clerk downstairs card bearing
on 1t the name of the person he is to
visit before he is allowed to go into the
upper floors of the house. He is likely
to be asked by one of the clerks in the
small office above where he is going
and what his business is and the OBJ
ject of his card is to enable him to
identify himself.

They We're Held Up.

Missoula, Nov. 1s.-Two woodchop-
pers who have been employed by Mr..
Jewett, the well known woodhauler,
made complaint to the sheriff that
while on their way to the city they
were held up and some groceries and
other trinkets they had in their blank
cts were taken by a man, name un-
known, and wanted warrant issued
for his arrest. 1t seems that the men
had been working for several weeks
and that they decided to quit on Jew
ett and go into the woods for a lumber
company for the winter. Mr.. Jewett
was unable to pay what was due the
men, but invited them to take what
ever groceries they wanted and that
he would pay the balance as soon as
he was able. The men took what they
wanted and started for the city. While
on their way the son-in-law of JeWett
overlook them and ordered them to
give up what they had in the blank
cts. They did as was requested and
came to town and wanted the man ar
rested. It is expected that a warrant
will be issued for his arrest.

5 o'clock, owing to the heavy traffic.
The train contained 13 coaches and was

the cause of the delay could not be

The speakers emotions overcame her

Great Changes That May Be Wrought by

From the London Mail. 81. r
Few people realize how completely of
late years the surface aspect or this
weakened old globe of ours has been al
tered and improved.
The world of to-day in fact, differs
from the world of our ancestors much
as a society lady. in all the glory of fold
and frill and furbelow, differs from her
savage sister running wild in pestilen-
tal woods. AS art has transformed
the one, so has it the other. Only the
Mime. Rachael who has made the
earth, if not exactly beautiful for
ever" at least a pleasant and health
full place wherein to dwell, is no char
latan with dray load of cosmetics
and a glib tongue, but a civil engineer,
owning nothing more harmful than a
few mysterious looking Instruments
and measuring tape. And the marvel
of it all is this-that what has been
done is but an infinitesmal fraction of
that which may and doubtless will be
done Who can doubt. for instance,
that the great Sahara desert-that mol
upon the worlds face-will one day be
but a memory? 1t was an inland sea
once. 1t would not be a very difficult
matter to convert it into one again.
A canal 60 miles long, connecting
with the Allant1C the vast depression
which runs close up to the coast nearly
midway between the Goth and 3oth
parallels of latitude, would do the
business beautifully. The water would
not, of course. cover the entire surface
of the desert. Here and there are por
tions lying above sea level. These would
become the islands of the new Sahara
ocean.
What would be the results that would
ensle upon this stupendous TRANSFORMED
ton? Some would be good and some
bad Among the latter may be men
toned the probable destruction of the
vineyards of Southern Europe. which

During the family's residence abroad
the young lady, having a taste for the
unique in furniture, had by degrees
come into possession of great deal CT

decided to return to her native city, but
was fearful lest some Of her effects

hit upon plan which was decidedly

eye of the inspector. The van will be

John Hannah Sentenced to Jail for Steal
ing Watch.
Missoula, Nov. 1s.-John Hannah was
sentenced to the county Jail for steal
ing watch from James Conner, lum-
her jack who formerly worked in the
logging camps up the Blackfoot. The
case was very interesting one and
showed conspiracy to do up Conner.
The men were in the Headquarters sa-
loon Thursday night. The scheme as
was arranged between the conspirators
was to get Conner and another lumber
jack into a fight and when, they took
off their coats Hannah and the other
man were to go through them. It was
known at the time, moreover, that Con-
ner had several hundred dollars on him.
The men took off their coats and as
Conner took off his, the watch came out
of the pocket and dangled on the chain.
Hannah took the watch off and went
into card room in the rear of the sa-
loon and threw it back of a large pic
ture that is hanging on the wall. When
Conner discovered the loss of his
watch he took station at the door and
would not let anyone pass unless he
consented to being searched. Several
attempted to go out without consent
ing to be searched but Conner would
not let them pass. Officer Larson then
put in his appearance and arrested sew
eral Of the men, who were taken before
Justice Of the Peace Hayes. The men
were considerably under the influence
of liquor and being unable to give a
correct statement Of the affair. were
placed in the county Jail to sober up.
The case was heard this morning and
Hannah entered plea of guilty and
was sentenced for 80 days in the county
Jail. Conner recovered his watch and
can be considered a lucky man.

FAULTS OF FRINGE.
1t Has a Number of Reprehensible
Qualities.

Huaiibitss
In the book that might be written
about fringe this season it is unfor-
tunate that chapter would have to be
devoted to it's delinquencies. At first
when fringe was mentioned as popu-
lar garniture we didn't think it possible
that we could ever like it. But famil-
iarity with it resulted as the poet de-
clares it does with vice, first we en-
dured, then pitied, then embraced.
Fringe is pretty, there is no dissent
ing voice as to that fact, but it's faults
are of the glaring order. In addition to
it's dirt gathering qualities, which are
most reprehensible, it catches on every
thing.
Only last week a young woman going
up Charles street at a goodly gait was
brought to sudden halt by a bit of
the net work of that on her gown catch
ing on the button of the coat of man
going in the opposite direction. Now by
all the laws of romance the man should
have been young and handsome, and in
disentangling the fringe his heart
should have become enmeshed, and the
story might have ended with wedding
bells in the distance.
But nothing of the sort occurred.
The hero of the incident was fat and
elderly, and worse than all, in hurry,
and he grumbled quite openly at the de-
lay as the young woman strove with
impatient fingers to release those cords.
When he was finally free he just trotted
off without even a backward glance at
the flushed face of the heroine. How
ever. she was so bitterly mourning the
wreck of her trimming that she didn't
notice the absence of a farewell sa
lutte
Only fringe of the Tom Thumb or
der is fitted for street gowns. 1t, you
know, is about as deep as the brush
edge skirt-bindipg. and has a plushy
effect. Fringed ribbon is an extremely
popular garniture, too: it rivals the
manufacturers fringe in favor, and
has one advantage in that it may be
made by some home dressmaksr.
