knowledged the best melodrama pvp,
brought from England, and it is cersinlv
the most magnificent production of MA,
ever made in this country There are ST.
teen scenes in the five acts which are M.
essary to the telling of the story and each
scene was painted by a master of the
craft. Two hundred people are used
the production and the cast of over ftv
speaking parts is made up of the yer,
cream Of the actors and actresses Of
America. AS the title suggests, the play
is based on the sport loving prOclivita
of the English speaking races. The hero
is a young English nobleman, the Earl
Woodstock. His passion for racing has
brought him to the verge of bankruptcy
and only the victory of his great mare
Lady Love, in the historic Derby can save
him. How the evil genii of the play try
to prevent this victory and how they
strive to bring disgrace on the fine Old
family name forms a story of great
strength and interest. Lady Love finally
runs the race and wins it in a most i'm
pressive fashion, but the spectators have
been through three hours of haisbreadth
escapes, tremendously stirring events and
thrilling complications. Sporting Lfes"
engagement at McVicker's Theaer will
be the most important event theatricalJ
in the city of Chicago.

Scotch Simplicity.

The Scotch are fond Of telling stories
which illustrate the peculiar simplicity
of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One of these stories relates that an
honest mason once had a contract to
build small house of stone. He came
early, and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast. At noon
his young son brought him his dinner,
peeping over the wall as he handed the
basket to his father With honest pride
in his eve, the mason looked over to the
boy.
'.Weel, Jock, hoo dye think I'm get
ting on?' he asked
''Ye're getting on famous, feyther,"
answered Jock, looking at the solid
wall, in which there was no break, but
hoo dye get oot?''
The mason looked around. It was
true: he had provided the house with
no door at all, and he was on the in
side. He looked kindly and very admir-
ingly at the boy.
Mon, Jock. we've a grand held on
ye.' he exclaimed. Yell be an archi-
tect yet, as sure as yer fathers a ma
son.
Another story shows how unsuccess-
full as thief the rustic Scot may be.
Two young plowmen went into a gar
den at night to steal gooseberries. The
bushes surrounded a plot of potatoes,
and as one Of the lads CROPPED about he
got "a handful of potato plums, which he
quickly put into his mouth. Then he
gasped to his comrade:
80, Jock, I'm poisoned! For ony sake
shove me through the hedge again, for

Now Is the Time,

While our shipyards are building
warships, they are able to build mer-
chant ships more economically than
when their yards are idle. Now is the
time, therefore, while we are building
a great navy, to build a great American
merchant marine The secret of the
cheapness and the quickness with
which merchant ships are turned out
in Great Britain is in the vast quantity
of warship building that is always go
ing on. Let us take leaf out of Eng
lands book in this respect, and do like
wise while we have the time-Cam-

Cost OF Cavalry.

The cost of feeding the $4,000 horses
in the British army is about f25 each
per year, or a total of f637, 800 The
cost for feeding horses stationed in the
British Isles alone has been estimated
to be 943S, 800; the annual expense for
saddlery and harness is G43, 700. The
average age of horses Of the British
army is five years for the cavalry, the
same for the horse artillery, six for the
field artillery, and seven for the
draught horses of the army service and
other staff corps.

CHAPTER VIII.-(Continued
The inspector whispers to the coroner.
There is a moments silence, hush OF
expactation. and then the order echoes
through the court:
Call Miss Mervyn."
A thrill of surprise, amazement, fear,
runs through the crowded room. lnvol-
unfairly all eyes turn to where, with slow
and ianguid steps, still weak from recent
illness. the slight, yelled figure of a girl
appears. AS she throws back her veil ana
faces the gazing throng strange teeilng
Of pity fills their hearts. The girl looks So
young, so fair; and on her face is SHADOW
OF grief so intense, of agony so great,
as in all the years they have known and
admired its brilliant beauty they nave
Dnver seen.
Yet the clear. sweet voice answers all
The questions neutrality-suspicious. So
Strange that 4 vague uneaslness steals
sgpon the listening crowd, and makes them
snrn and look with wondering eyes at each
others faces, mutely asking what all TINS
means, what new horror is to be revealed
For, led and blinded by Budd's artfu
hints and cunningly gathered evidence, q
horrible suspicion is directed against 70
iande.
Her fathers face grows gray with fear
and unspeakable wrath as he hears the
base insinuations leveled at his fair young
daughters head. The old man trembleS
in every limb; his eyes gaze beseechingly
bandly, at the strange and awe-struch
faces around Amidst them all he sees
but one-the face with his dead Wlfe'<
beauty on the beautiful features, but witt
:, look that never was worn by his wife
41r child in all his fond remembrances-
the face of a young, pale, resolute girl
Nth halo of suffering about her colder
head and at her feet a sea of blood.
AS that red stream flows before his sigh
siis brain suddenly reels and cord seems
70 snap and break. He stretches out his
rns to the darkness that engulfs him
aen light. and sense, and feeling are ut
E2riy gone.
If I'LL that happens and all that follows
re ueyer has sight or knowledge again.

The Next Requirement,

The development Of our shipping
trade demands better ocean vessels,
and these are the next requirements to
be fulfilled. The supremacy of this
country as manufacturer of iron and
steel is a foregone conclusion, and it's
progress in this direction will doubtless
eventually outstrip any new era that
may come forward in shipbuilding.-

what Discriminating Duties Will so.
The people pay out annually $780,
100000 in freights and fares to foreign
countries, every dollar of which should
find it's way into American pockets
The charges of single year would
build the finest merchant marine afoat,
or they would build and equip serv-
iceable canal across the isthmus. The
usual form of subsidy is a delusion. 1t
will build a few ships, but the pledged
policy OF the Republican party, the pol
icy of the fathers of the republic of
Washington, Adams and Jefferson, will
build the greatest merchant marine in

With respect to religious services it
has often been said, that Fools who
came to scott remained to pray" but
new and more polite version of the
line. says the London Telegraph. has
been furnished by Lincoln inn. under
whose auspices "those who came to
pray remained to lunch"
Interesting as is the chapel of the
inn. good as is the music. excellent as
is the sermon. hitherto the services
have been but poorly attended. The
benchers seem anxious to remedy this
state of things. so they have made q
regulation which will doubtless be
much appreciated. reminding men of
their college days and college break
fasts. 1t is now open to every member
of the inn. in inviting a friend to at
tend chapel. TO accompany his invita-
ton with an offer of hospitality. and
after the service it will be permissible
for him to entertain his guest at q cold
luncheon. which will be served in the
hall at one o'clock.
1t was rather unfortunate that the
Inauguration Of this regulation should
have taken place in such unpleasant,
weather. but it may easily be foret old
that in the spring and summer the
gardens after service viii be resplend-
ent with well-dressed ladies who have
honored aspirants to the woolsack by
accepting invitations to chapel and
