EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY.
Unexpected Part Played BY Barrel in
Drama.

Many of the old time actors will re-
member F. G. White who with his wife.
Emma Leland, used to star in the pro-
vinces when they were not able to get
what they wanted in the cities Well,
the old gentleman was versatile gem
Jus, and there was nothing about the
house except soubrette parts that he
could not take. Among other things he
knew how to put up curtain-and that
was more than good many stage man
ayers in the country towns knew
We will call the place Bridgeport for
that was not the name of the town. The
Emma Leland company was there for
a week, and it looked like a prosperous
run. But the first night, and right be-
tween the first and second acts of Hid
den Hand, something went wrong with
the curtain, which stuck fast three feet
from the floor. Moreover it would not
come down again, and all the company
was in trouble, while the people out in
front were getting more than the worth
of their money without seeing the show
Mr.. White was in his neither garments
having changed from well dressed
New York villain to the rough-and-
ready countryman from old Virginia
who has come to the great city on
quest for. his granddaughter and adj
ventures. But he climbed up on stool
out there behind the curtain and did
all that any honest and plain-spealSing
man could have done in the way Of
making the machinery work.
And the whole curtain came tumbline
down, roller and all. leaving the mos
versatile man stranded high and dry
on the top of the stool. The scene was
the Bowery, and a part of the stage
setting was an empty barrel The old
gentleman dropped gracefully into that
barrel and rolled as gracefully off tbs
stage. And then the patient and ex
cellent audience waited, laughed occas-
ionally, but not saucily, till the carpen-
ters and sailors in the house had re-
paired the damage to the scene.-Chi-

SOUVENIR FIENDS.
Worcester's Hotel

MOURNING LOSS OF STOCK.
Peculiar characteristics of
Some Of the
Guests.

The souvenir spoon fad is on the
wane, and hotel proprietors are not ca
ger for resurrection
With the advent of vacation weather,
the hotel keeper begins to take ac-
count of stock. In the larger hotels of
Worcester this is done every week,
usually on Monday, but there is always
an annual investigation into the depths
of the silverware closet and the rooms.
Figures aggregating the value of SOU
Venirs taken from a hotel in a year
would astound anyone but the hotel
proprietor. He expects it. If the loss
OF silverware, napkins, towels and even
the bed linen does not amount to more
imam $500 in year, he considers him
self let down easy.

cry that thrives in every hotel where

matter how hard 1t hits the landlord
The proprietor must treat every per-
son who stops at his house with respect.
The conscience of the hotel proprietor
of this day is very delicate, and the
head of a first-class hotel Who would
allow himself to be quoted in saying
that guests steal occasionally would be
missing link thereafter in the chain
of good fellowship that is supposed to
contain hotel proprietors
At one of the larger hotels in this
city the proprietor was willing enough
to give The Spy man insights into the
doings of the souvenir fiend. The con-
versation drifted into a discussion as to
whether the souvenir stealer had faded
away. Il find by my books that this

not tell why this welcome change came.
It might have been due to the fact that

THE CRY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLES

THE CRY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLES.
The cry of the little peoples went UP to
The Czech. and the Pole, and the Finn,
and the Schleswig Dane.
We ask but little portion of the green
and ancient earth,
Only to sow and sing and reap in the land
of our birth.
We ask not coaling stations, nor ports in
We leave to the big child nations such ri
valries as these.
We have learned the lesson of time, and
we know three things of worth:
Only to SOW and sing and reap in the land
of our birth.
o leave us our little margins, waste ends
of land and sea,
little grass, and hill or two, and a
shadowing tree;
o leave us our little rivers that sweetly
catch the sky,
To drive our mills, and to carry our wood
and to ripple by.
Once long ago, like you, with hollow pur-
suit of fame,
I y
sound of our name;
But now we are glad to rest, our battles
and Boosting done,
Glad just to sow and sing and reap in our
share of the sun.
III.
And what shall you gain if you take us
and bind US and beat us with thongs:
And drive us to sing underground In q
whisper our sad little songs?
Forbid us the very use of our hearts own
Is this to be strong, you nations, is this to
be strong?
Your vulgar battles to fight and your shop-
man conquests to keep,
For this shall we break cur hearts, for
this shall our old men weep?
What gain in the day of battle - to the
Russ, to the German, what gain,
The Czech. and the Pole, and the Finn.
and the schleswig Dane?
w.
The. cry of the little peoples went up to
For the world is given over to the cruel
sons of Cain;
The hand thafwould bless us is weak and
the hand that would break us is strong,
And the power of pity is naught but the
power of a song.
The dreams that our fathers dreamed to-
day are laughter and dust,
And nothing at all In the world is left for
a man to trust
Let us hope no more, or dream, or prophe-
sy or pray,
For the iron world no less will crash on It's
iron way;
And nothing Is left but to watch, with a
helpless plying eve,
The kind old aims for the world. and the
kind old fashions die

THE ENGLISH RAceHoRsE.
He Was a Well Bred ANNA in Old Roman
DAYS.


There can be little doubt that even in
the time of the Roman occupation, Eng
land possessed a fine breed of horses, due
in great measure to the suitability of
the climate, yet it is nevertheless true
that our ancestors were continually de-
sirous Of improving the native breed, and
from very early times eastern blood APP
pears to have been the most popular
cross. 1t is not until about the reign
of James ] that any material improve
ment in our thoroughbred horses can be
traced to Arab blood, yet-the attempt
to acclimatiZe eastern horses was made
many years previously. Severus may or
may not have raced real Arabs in York
shire; but it is not until the time of
King John that we find any mention made
of running horses, and that monarch, who
was a liberal importer of eastern blood,
had a breeding stud on a rather large
scale at Ethan, on the very paddocks
afterward occupied by William Blenk-
iron, who bred among other horses Her

VLADIMIR DE PAcHMANN.

The boom for this popular pianist has
started and, as has been the custom in
arranging tours for pianists with similar
regulations, there has been no banging
of drums~or blowing of trumpets so far,
In a very judicious manner all of the
musical societies throughout the United
States are aware of the fact that De
Pachmann is coming, and many have
taken the opportunity of engaging him
for one of their concerts and leaving the
arranging of the date in the hands Of
Mr.. Wolfsohn.
No date has been set as yet for his
temperance in this city, ana most
likely none will be announced before the
early part of September. Mr.. Copley,
who is now arranging his tour during
the absence Of Mr.. Wolfsohn, who is in
Europe, says that the majority Of De
Pachmanns concerts are already ar
ranged for, and that by the time Mr.
De Pachmann arrives in New York city,
which will be in the middle of Septem-
ber Mr.. Wolfsohn will have his tour
completely booked. The fame of De Pach-
mann is we'll known throughout the land,
not only by the musicians but by the
concert-going public as we'll Many pri-
vate letters have been received asking
when he will play in the different cities
His tour will embrace all of the large
cities as far west as Kansas City or
Denver and south to Louisville. 1t is
not expected that he will visit California,
though offers have been received from
several managers in San Francisco
Musical Courier.

FRIARS DEPORTED FROM GUAM
American Governor is Obliged to Use
Extreme Measures in Order To
Execute Reforms.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S0,-The Navy de-
partment has received report from Captain
Leary, the naval governor of the island of
Guam, in the Ladrones, which has excited
good deal Of interest among the officials to
whom it has been exhibited. The presi-
dent himself has read the report, his inter-
est being particularly attracted by the dis
closure OF the fact that the first American
governor OF the island has already been
obliged to adopt heroic measures to insure a
proper administration Of affairs there.
Captain Leary soon learned that his au-
thority as governor was being subverted and
every one OF the measures of reform which
he had proposed was being defeated by the
hostile influence of the friars. They resisted
every decree, no matter OF what character,
from spirit of intense conservatism and a
belief that any disturbance OF the order of
things which had governed the island for so
many years would cause them to lose their
hold upon the natives. After exhausting all
other means to overcome this influence, Cap
tain Leary reports that he was obliged to
uotify half-do Of the friars that they
might have free transportation away from
Guam and he should expect them to avail
themselves of the offer That left but one
friar on the island, and he was a man
whose character and reputation were such as
to convince Captain Leary OF his fitness to
remain.

Hamilton county on the local nominations.
At the same time the republican state ticket
received substantial plurality. These in
dependent voters Of Cincinnati have been
in the business long enough to know how
to do 1t. They can score against Cox and
at the same time make their votes count
for Nash.
The independent republican committee
held a meeting this evening. Inquiries
among the members fully sustain the dec
laration OF Chairman Stephens that the
fusion does not go beyond the local offices
and that the independent republican vote
will be given to Nash. Not an anti Hanna
expression was heard.
Jones Commands Following.
The independent movement cannot be
called an unusual element in the campaign.
1t Is rather chronic in Cincinnati politics.
But there is another faction which Is extra
ordinary and which has helped to swell the
registration list with names not regularly
found there. Citizens who look for a po-
litical regeneration in the overturning Of
political organizations think they see a
great opportunity presented to them In
Jones and his application of the golden rule
to politics. Men who do not often vote have

significant feature Of the Cincinnati
registration is the very full enrolment o

editor Of the Volksblatt, interprets this a
meaning pretty solid support of the repub
lican ticket by the Germans. He says tina
