Salaries of Actors.
New York Press.A

Playing is not hard labor in these
days of long runs. An actor IN a sue
cessful piece can rest all day in prep
aration for his effort at night. His ac-
tual task requires only three hours of
endeavor. for which he can fit himself
by twenty-one hours of repose Me-
chanics work eight hours a day, mer-
chants often fifteen.
In former times, when stock compa-
MES changed their bills almost every
night, the actor was compelled to study
constantly. 1t was hard work and poor
pay in the early days of our drama.
Henry Irving began life at S. and six
plays per week. His repertory on this
tour will be limited to at most eight
plays a week. His repertory on this
judge by present indications, his in
come during that time will be almost
IS. 600 a. week
This change in his condition adds to
the actors longevity. Relieved from
the strain of perpetual study and sur
rounded by every luxury that wealth
can commando thet popular actor has
greater expectancy of life than is pos
seesed By most of his audience.
John Drew at middle age has accu-
mulated. an estate of $780, s7E. H.
Sothern,. still a young man, has an in
come which. seldom falls below $50, 900 a
year. Nat Goodwin, who began his ca
reer at S15 a week, now owns a country

Henry Miller's Farewell.
New York Herald.l

Sir Henry Irving was not the only
pebble on. the beach" last evening, not
the only popular actor who was saying
au revoir to a public with whom he
was on the best of terms. Down at
the Garden theatre Mr.. Henry Miller
was playing the last night of his en-
gagement in The Only Way before a
great audience, and after the final fall
OF the curtain the audience Justify de-
manded that he come out again and
say sonnet thing to them. This Is what he
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: In saying au
revoir tonight take the opportunity
of expressing my satisfaction and that
of Mr. Charles Frohman for the gener-
Gus support the New York public have
given this play and this company 1
thank you heartily for the warm recep-
ton you have given my play tonight,
which ! interpret as 'godspeed.' And,
though regret leaving New York, do
so in happier mood than ever before.
For it is a far, far better play than I
have ever had. and far. far better re-
suits than / have ever known. Again
thank you. Good night"
Mr.. Miller's engagement at the Gar
den theatre and at the Herald Square
has been one of the most successful of
the season. In the eleven weeks which
il has continued the receipts have
amounted TO more than sos, 000

CRIME IN suLu.
Different Modes of Punishment
Meeted Out to the Evil Doer.

Meeted Out to the Evil Doer.
Chicago Record)
Crimes among the Moros are punish
able according to fixed penalties in
most cases, but occasionally the Datto
humor, varies the punishment a bit
Murder is punishable by fine Of Sl0i
Mexican money. Horse stealing and
cattle-stealing are punished severely
Other forms of stealing are punished
according to the previous record of the
criminal. If his record is bad he comes
under the classification of ''habitual
criminal" and the probability is that
his wife will have a chance to marry
again in four months and four days.

quently he has occasion to send TO vari-
Gus parts of his domain for money as
tribute, and at these times he has al
ways sent one of his trusted followers
One day some time ago this man was
sent to bring the Datto a certain sum
OF money, but when the bag was hand
ed to the Datto the trusted follower
flung himself on his knees and con-
fessed that he had lost part of it in
gambling. He kissed the Datto's hands
and implored forgiveness and prom
ised never to do so again, and said that
he was overwhelmed with grief and hu-
initiation, etc.
The Datto forgave him, but told him
never to let it happen again, for if ii
did the punishment would be swift and
terrible.
Well, it happened again on the very
next trip on which the trusted follower
was sent for money. Once more there
were lamentations and appeals and
VOWS of eternal reformation.

the hapless subject as he squirmed and
cringed beneath the Datto's lowering
gaze. 1t was a long session that time,
with the scales wavering throughout it
all, but In the end the Datto said that
he'd give him another chance.
And now comes the part of the story
which illustrates how great are the
destinations of gambling. When the
trusted follower went again for money
for his master he looked in on a little
game, and, forgetful of his dire expert
ences in the past, he plunged suf-
ficiently long to tighten his load of
'dobe dollars.
Instead of running away he went
back to the Datto and confessed to his
shortage.
This time there was no argument on
either side. The Datto turned to one
of his guards and ordered him to slay
the trusted follower. He then asked if
the victim wished to be blindfolded or
had any short remarks to make. AS
the latter saw no necessity for the one
and no use in the other, he said some
thing to the effect of never mind the
guard" An instant later barong
sunk into his stomach, almost bisecting
him, and the punishment was over.

TIPPING IN GERMANY.
Curious Readiness Of Thrifty Peo-
pie to Give Small Fees.
London Post

Oondon Post)
The question of giving gratuities to
walters and servants is as much a
vexed one in this country as it is on
your side of the channel. Even your
man servant or maid expects in Ger
many tip" from your guests after
they have dined or lunched with you.
and it constantly happens that on en-
Saging servant you are asked. How
about tips? Can 1 expect much from
this source, and may / keep all l get,
or have / to share the tips with other
servants? 1 have. even known mis-
tresses hold out as an inducement to
servants the fact that they entertain
a good deal, whereby the wages are
considerably supplemented by gratui-
ties from guests.
One very curious feature about Ger
man everyday life is the readiness of
people to give a "trinkgeld, the
equivalent of the French '.pourboire,' -
under which name the donation is more
familiar to English ears. The feature
is curious, because the Teuton is by
nature thrifty. And yet the same per-
son who will expect a hard working
teacher of languages to give lessons at
from sixpence to one shilling an hour
will often be seen to bestow a groschen
on the shop servant who has brought
d parcel ~ Ills OF d nail ptIiuy
on the tramway conductor for handing
him his penny ticket. The postal Of
ficials who pay the money orders and
bring the money to your house are en-
titled to charge a half penny for doing
so, but look very sour if you do not
add another half penny of your own
accord. Small tips all round are de
rigeur in German daily life.
1t is always understood that the

Now, the porter does little more for
you than hand you your key and take
off his hat TO you as you enter and
leave your hosiery, and in small
towns he summons the boots at your
departure by vigorously ringing his
bell, and for these amenities he is re-
warded in a sort of geometrical pro-
gression. The boots really does render
services; he blacks your boots and
brushes your clothes, and is ready to
assist you to pack. and sits on your
portmanteau for you if need be when
you want to lock it. Notwithstanding
this it often happens that he comes off
second or third best in the way of re-
wards.
1t has, however, always been sup
posed that the largesse assigned to him
was a voluntary one. This idea has

The man in question remained at
Chemnitz for four weeks at a local

duties, and on leaving handed to the
boots for the usual services rendered
by that functionary, the sum of four
shillings as a gratuiiy. The boots de-
manded twelve shillings, that is to
say, at the rate of three shillings a,
week AS the higher sum was not paid
he brought an action against the
traveller, and the court declared that
the latter was to pay ten shillings. The
