JARGoN OF THE STAGE.
English Obscure ~ the Lingo Of II,
American Baseball Field.

English Obscure ~ the Lingo Of the
American Baseball Field.
Pretty nearly every profession boasts
a. vocabulary Of Its own, and the theat-
rical profession 10 not the least boastful
In this matter. There is neatness and
directness about the vocabulary of the
stage which does not characterize that of
any other institution.
What, for instance, could be more d.
rectly impressive Of the volume Of an
evenings audience or the receipts to &C.
crue therefrom than the phrase of play
ing to the gas?" 1t is used in the general
sense in reference to small audiences, but
strictly it means that an audience was
only large enough to render receipts suf-
fcient to pay the bill for the evenings
lighting.
An actor would infinitely rather play
to "house full Of paper" The latter
phrase means an audience admitted
mostly by free passes.
1--WE got a shop in fine crowd" ex-
claims Miss Tottie Twofeet to a friend.
"All the fat Of the book, three curtains
and the tag. We open on Tuesday, and
I'm awfully fluffy. Jessie's walking on"
To any one inexperienced in the slang
of the stage the above speech would not
convey much. Translated into common
Or garden" language, Miss Tottie's mean
ing Is that she has obtained an engage
ment in fine company, that she has to
deliver the most telling speeches in the
play, that the performance commences
on Tuesday and that she is not sure Of
her lines.
Jessie-evidently her dearest friend
has part which she cannot act.
1t must be admitted that Miss Twofeet
is concise. She might add that Except
for "a shop (part or engagement in a
fit up Ia company travelling with its own
scenery she has been resting" which
is neat way of saying she has been out
of an engagement.-London Mail.

Fatal TENEMENT FIRE.
Little Girl Dead and q Dozen Others
Injured. Two Seriously.

Little Girl Dead and q Dozen Others
Injured. Two Seriously.
New York, July 12.-Fire at 8 o'clock
IN the morning In five story brick
tenement house at 101 Monroe street
caused the death Of little girl and
injured q dozen other persons, none
OF whom will die. Fifteen families
lived in the house and tho less Of life
would have been large but for the
heroic efforts Of the firemen. The dead
child Is Rachel Silver, 8 years old.
Her body was badly burned. Samuel
Lunden was badly burned about the
head, hands, arms and body, and Mrs.
Bessie Bossick. IS years old, badly
burned about the face and body. Ten
others were overcome by smoke or are
suffering from burns.
The fire started in the apartment Of
Max Press. on the fourth floor, and
when discovered had made strong
Roadway. The fourth floor families es-
capped down the stairway In their night
clothing. On the fifth floor lived the
Basch and Silver families, who es-
capped to the roof and thence were con-
veyed to q neighboring house. Little
Rachel Silver was so badly burned that
she died a few hours later at hos
pital.
The people taken down by tho, Are
men were laid on the sidewalk and
resuscitated according to the first aid
to the injured rules, which DR.. Jane
way helped to teach the fremen some
months ago. When the hospital am
balances came the surgeons said that
some of the victims would have died
had not the firemen helped them In
this way.

Some Of the Curisus Ways ssns Pee
PIE nave 81 Doing II. 4,ii 90
Few classes Of men have : ssttsr
chance to see the Qseer ways people have
Of carrying their money thsa bartenders.
A Fifth street man tells q 'assabsr Of
good stories along this hne.. II would ap-
pear that frsQuenters Of such resorts are
innately averse to carrying their coin
after any manner known to the balance
Of mankind. That man who Just left
here Is entitled to premium" said the
mixologist in question few days ago.
"Ordered glass Of apoliinaris and drank
It 40 II he was thirsty. Then he reached
down on the inside of his vest and pulled
out what looked to be big roll Of news
paper. Around the roll was wrapped
long piece Of Irvine.
II thought l was going to be made the
victim Of bunko game until the man
began to unwrap the roll. He took of at
least sir newspapers before he got down
to Whist he was after. This proved to be
q 81 bill. He pulled II out Of the bunch
Of newspapers and laid II on the counter.
l took out cents and handed back the
change. Carefully counting It, the man
slowly and deliberately wrapped the coin
up in the newspaper again and went out.
I haven't seen him since. and ! don't
want to. Life IL too short to wait for his
unwrapping process. Another instance,
almost a. agsravatins, was that Of a
young fellow who happened in the other
day. He had several friends with him
and ordered round.
II served II, and when the time came
for paying the young fellow went
through his pockets vigorously. Then
his face grew scarlet.
'Humph! he exclaimed. 4 had some
money. Oh. know whore II 10 now
Sitting down on q chair, he pulled Of
one Of his shoes and from the bottom
thereof fished out a IS bill. The crowd
that was with him laughed loudly, and
the little episode cost him another round.
Lots of people come in here who carry
their money In one Of the upper pockets
of their vests, and still others who think
the inside band of their hats affords the
best place to carry their bank bills. And
1t goes. Some day expect to have a
man order drink and pull the money out
Of his mouth with which to pay for it. II
he does, I won't let on but that It Is the
regular thing" Cincinnati Enquirer.

The 64dEss which impstters q
Chocolate arc now making 70 ct Z
lower appraisement on impnts.h
chocolate recalls the report which
was made to the Ways and Means
Committee 10 1897, when the proyis-
ions of the Dingley law were being
considered. 1t was stated in that
report that sin the United States
in our 1.-THE chocolate] industry men
are paid for 10 hours work from
$40 to $50 per week; women are paid
for 10 hours work, from IS to $l2
per week. In Europe, in the larg-
est factories, their rates for men for
II hours work arefrom - to IS per
week and for women for IL hours
work from $3.50 to % per week.
1t will be seen from these figures
that wages in this country are from
$50 to 400 per cent. higher than
wages in Europe, The slightest
investigation will show, furthermore
that what is true in respect to the
wages Of the employees in chocoi ate
manufactures is true, in agreatsr
or lesser degree, Of workers In, All
branches Of industry. In the face
Of such facts, arguments in favor Of
a Protective Tariff would seem to
be superfluous, and conscientious
efforts to collect the rightful Gus.
toms duties should be appreciated
by every American workman as
well as by every American manu-
facturer.

Sociable.

Some of the sentimental considerations
that may influence an elector are sug-
gested in tAis anecdote from new book,
"Irish Life and Character"
A political candidate, on paying Sec
ond visit to the house of doubtful voter
Of the peasant class. was very pleased,
but somewhat surprised, on hearing from
the elector that he would support him.
"GIad to hear it." said the candidate.
Il thought you were against me-"
Sure, l was at first" rejoined the
peasant. "Whin the other day We called
here and stood by that pigsty and talked
for half an hour ye didn't bulge me an
inch.
"But after ye had gone away, sor, got
to thinkn how ys'd reached yer hand
over the rail AMI scratched the pigs back
till he lay down wild the pleasure of IT, l
made up me mind thin that whin man
was so sociable as that wild poor fellow
crathure wasn't the bhoy to vote agin
him."

guarantees to have fully equipped and
running an artificial gas plant capable
of furnishing 5000. 900 cubic feet of

Germ are to be handled by him. retain
ing enough to pay the cost Of the i'm.
provements made. When the plant is
fully paid for he agrees to turn 1t over
to the city without cost, and surrender
title to the same. He also agrees to
surrender the plant. upon notice. by the
city paying for the improvements
made. II he constructs the plant, after
it is fully paid for the profits are to
go to the city. The bids were all re-
ferred to the committee for final action.
