The mistake is stored in ona of the Washington theaters this yerg minute, and there is a trunkful of t. Some of it is blue and some of it is yellow, and some of it is shell pink but all Of it is silk with silver buckles meant to be worn where Bobby Shafte. in the old song, wore his, and there are several hundred pairs of it. They the pairs-were intended to be pre- sented to the women in the audience on the ocasion of the one hundred aus fftieth performance of a certain opera the theatrical man manages, and when the appointed time was come. and the glitterng things were piled on tables in the theater lobby. only three women in the house paused to take their choice. As souvenirs-well the man. ager simply couldn't give the things away. and they are gathering tarnish in the trunk here now. for he left them in disgust at this point in his tour.

DOROTHY DREW.

DOROTHY DREW.
 Dorothy Drew. Gladstone's famous srandehild. whose loving companion- hip added so much te the happiness of his later years. is the subject of very interesting sketch in The Young Woman. We learn from it that before ner 4th year her political views had become decidedly radical; to her mind the house of lords was a most repre- hensihle institution. and the house og commons was the mainstay of the na- tion. When the house of lords was spoken of in her presence as the "up- per house, she would retort ''You mean the house of commonst" She visited the latter during her 3d year. and for time thought herself in church. The frequent rising and sit ting of the members soon undeceiyed her. however, and from these move ments and the eratorieaf gestleulaIons of the speakers. she fancied herself in a gymnasium impression derived from q previous visit to such a place. For some time after this the commons was the place where sgranddad goes to do his nastics. or. on occasions the place where granddad goes to do his lessons
 Her visit to Queen Victoria was A momentous episode in her young life. and from the article above mentioned we quote the narrative of her delight ful experiences:
 "Dopothy relates how she wedt down the very long corridor to put on her new white froek and her silk gloves. and how grand servant all dressed in red came to say that the queen was waiting. The Indian man whom the queen likes very much was at the door, and the next moment Dorothy stood before the great queen whom her grandpapa had served for sixty years. But Dorothy thought nothing of the vastness of the empire, or of the length of the reign which all the world was celebrating. 1t was nothing to her that the kindly gray-Aaired lady befora her was mistress of one-quarter of the whole human race To Dorothy she was just another woman like grand mamma, with white cap on her head :, and Dorothy eourtesied and kissed her and told her her name was sDorsls.'s that she called Mr Gladstone grand papa that they all had pet names d. the castle, and so on and so on. and many interesting pet names were re- vealed on both sides The queen pue on hef. glasses and asked me to 20 to the other sidesof the room, so that she could see me better Dorothy ex- plains and then she took little jewel-case and said. This is for you opened it and saw darling little brooch, with a diamond Y and dia- mond and 2 turquoise I, and little crown at the top made of red enamel 1 courtesied ahd kissed her hand and said Thank you very much. She looked very nice and kind and I liked her very much, Then the queen kissed the little debutante again. and Doro- thy and her mother returned to town.
 Kipling. who is numbered among the celebrities who have sought Dorothys acquaintance. tells an amusing story of their meeting They had been in the grounds surrounding Hawarden for some time together. when Dorothy mother appeared, saying:
 Now, Dorothy, l hope you have noe been weaying Mr. Kipling" .Oh, no. not a bit," was the frankly uneonven- tional reply. MT lziping has been weafying me-"

First in sIaiolos.

James !. Corkhill of company P. Kansas goth regiment, writes to the Alam (Kss.l Enterprise this account of how it happened that the flag of the goth Kansas was fhe first to float over Malolos, the insurgent capital:
 We were halted in the shade just outside the city when Col. unston came ga;loping down the line and told our commander that the general want ed a few men to advance ahead of the lines to reconnoiter. Lieut.. ball and sixteen men from company E were chosen, your correspondent happening to be one of the lucky number. We cautiously advanced into the outskirts of the town and wended our ty up Main street although we didn't then know it was Main street., keeping as much as possible under cover of the bamboo shacks. Ne soon discovered that the negroes had breastworks thrown across the street ana in front of the large Catholic church. Almost at the same time they saw Us and yolley of Mausers flew over our heads.
 :. Well, said Col. Funston, that's all the general wanted to know but after he held a U iele confab wiCn Elf~, . Bail they decided on closer acquaintance with our dusky friends. It's little risky, but I think we can do it. said Col Funston. Come on, boys, let's get them out of there
 "So away we went, up the street like a whirlwind, yelling and shooting and making racket enough to scare a whole army. Little Col Funston with his revolver in one hand, was waving his hat ill the other and yelling: Give it to them, boys! Give it to them.' I guess the negroes thought that his satanic majesty was indeed after them or that fl, rhole American army was upen them, for, after firing a couple Of volleys at lis, they turned and ran as never saw any one run before. On through the public square we chased them and clear to the ether side of the town
 "Thus it was that sixteen Kansas boys, led by our brave colonel and a daring second lieutenant, drove the in surgents out of their capital city.
 "An hour later, when We returned, We found that the army had poured in and filled the town and our regiment was sitting in the shade of Aguinaldo's doorsten. I'efore leaving tie insur- gents h..e : .cceeded in setting fire to the large church, which was now in flames. Many of the Chinese remained in the town, and when our little squad dashed into the public square it was amusing to see the 'Chenomen' crawl ing out of windows and cellars and from under bridges, each carrying a little white flag and shouting: 'Amegot Amego! cheno much amego!'

vELAsouEz, ANNIVERSARY.

Abroad there have been number of Yelasquez celebrations, for it was 300 years ago this month that this greater painter was born in Seville. When q he was appointed painter to Philip ".
 Six wears later he went to italy and closely studied the works of Michael Angelo. Raphael and Titan When he went back to Spain he was received with great distinction and the king urSssN him to the position of noble.
 Mo years later he died in Madrid.
 So great was Velasquez' grasp on the essentials of a scene that he was quite free from mannerisms or any peculiar style. He towers head and shoulders above all other Spanish artists The magie Of his touch, his color. drawing and HoaeIing, with occasionally his splendid composition of ehiaroseuro, are powers which will ever stand by themselves.

Blind staggers, and I'athos by Much
 snudiing v
 In the California theafer. San Fran cisco, the other night Otto Kawakamt and Mme Yaceo and "their company of rising Japanese actors and ac tresses8 . appeared for the first time in America, in no less than four different pieces. At first sight and sound the native Japanese dramalis rather a diff hen't problem, Its tragedy does not make serious dent in the American auditor, and it's comedy does not strike nm as the most joyous thing in the world The Japanese actor one finds expresses pathos though his nose: he- foles, in blind staggers. and humor in aerobatieNip-fiaps. He snuff1es when ne is saddest. And as there was a great deal of sadness in the first two pieces presented last night, there was deal of snuffling. Our Iananesa toWnfolk filled the gallery and seemed to ind delight in these nasal speeiai- Les, but the people downstairs didn't appear to know just how to take them. The plays are childishly primitive and with the aid of the arguments" print ed in the programme, quite intelligtble The first one, The Duel" disnlays beautiful scenery and costumes and diYerting sword fight.

The most interesting in plot is The Temjye of Dojoji," which is built around the Japanese legend of < the bell in which the lovers hide and dfe cremated by the jealous woman's Erath In this Mime. Yaceo, who i'm bersonates the Yengeful rival. executes dance that is full of unique steps and poses. The performance closes with what is arehly entitled "Deyev Day Celebration on the Pine Fringed Shores - 14NAS t1iE 1EIoI1h dances are Introduced with pleasing result. An other diversion that comes earlier in the programme is a song. accompanied by the characteristic Japanese instru- ment, the shamiseR. The song itself Is long-Yoiced falsetto and painful to the ears, but the accompaniment is in teresting from a technical standpoint al least Gut to practical proportions this Japanese show ought to have curious interest for all pIay-goers. Bat in its present shape the Jap auditors seem to have most of the fun. As d picture, it is well worth taking in. the scenery is striking and the costumes are splendid. II is quite like an ani- mated Japanese screen.

A MAD MoNARcH's FREAK.
King of Bavaria Found Pleasure In
 Frightening Horses to Death.


 Frightening Horses to Death.
 "At the time the malady of Ludwig IT.. the mad king of Bavaria. was at it's worst, he gave orders that thirty of his finest horses should be put in the best condition possible for a race. writes Prof J H. Gore in the Ladies Home Journal When the 9rt came that no further improvement could be made, he had them brought into an open field where every conceivable form of noise-making device had been stationed. The horses were tied ta posts and the king from an elevated stand gave the signal that started the flare of trumpets the booming of can non, the firing of bombs and other out landish noises. The horses reared, plunged, struggled to get free and, fin ally breaking loose, started in the widest gallops from this bedlam. But toward whatever corner Of lhe field they fled they were stopped by noises just as terrifying and sent 10 another quarter to be frightened again and again. When the horses became too tired to run we'll the king found the spectacle uninteresting and ordered the orgy to cease. By this cruel freak the royal stables lost q number of their most valuable animals

All that the rains have done Is to revive
hope. They have shown the people
that it has not really forgotten how to
rain and has given the courage to hope
that 1t may rain some more after a
while. Let us hope that it will. We do
most dreadfully need good crops this
year and it is hard to see what people
would do if they were not to get them.
but, as we have said before, there Is
no use in borrowing trouble and there
is just as little sense in shouting for
joy and declaring crops assured four

be assured.
