"DUNNAGE" AND "QUoINs."
A Curious Business Carried on IL
London

A Curious Business Carried on in
London.
In the labyrinth of streets contigu-
Gus to the London Docks are to be
found innumerable establishments de-
voted to the catering to the multiform
requirements of sea-going vessels.
Here and there signboards affixed to
hoardings bear the legend somewhat
recondite, Contractor for dunnage and
quoins."
For an elucdation of this abstrusive-
ly worded phrase 1t is necessary to
stroll within the hoardlng5. Acres or
ground are concealed by small noun
tains of wood, one glance at which re-
veals the debris of many conf1agra-
ton. The "dunnage' contractor on the
first inttmation of a fire dispatches his
agent, whose duties are to contract
with the insurance companies for a
clearance Of every atom of wood which
the ravages of fire have spared The
wood, known as ''dunnage," is eagerly
purchased by steamship owners owing
to its adaptability as o conductor
of dampness. The floors of the holds OF
vessels being lined with the "dunnage,
pernaeation is prevented The cargo
may then be safely stored away in the
hold, the desideratum, an absolutely
dry floor, being obtained Steel rails,
invariably stocked athwart in the hold,
frequently have few inches Of space
between them and the sides of the yes
sci. Were not the intervening spaces
filled with "dunnage" the oscillation of
the ship would be responsible for seri-
GUS damage, for the steel rails have
been known to pierce hole in the
ships sides. A paucity Of fires does
not in the least discomfort the dun
mage" contractor for the demolition4of
houses furnishes him with fresh mate
rial for his calling. This wood not
having passed through the vicissltudes
of an ordeal by fire is consequently of
cleaner appearance, thereby permits
ting its being sawn into lengths of six
inches to resemble wedges, and is here
after termed "quoins." The "quoins''
are destined to counteract the oscilla-
ting effects of a ship when the cargo is
composed Of casks or barrels. A
'quoin" is inserted between each cask
to insure the stability and rigidity of
the cargo, thus defying all the efforts
at a dislodgement of the wave or storm
tossed vessel. The number of people
engaged in this peculiar industry Is
very few.-London Mail.

the need of sailing day ahead.

| start and Benton B. the worst Of 1t, for
| the latter never made up the distance
| lost at the wire and was outside the
| flag at the finish. Cresceus held the
| lead to the eighth, was fighting hard to
keep Charley Herr behind him at the
| quarter, with Grattan Boy also to be
reckoned with, and lost the lead at the
half to Herr This gave Cresceus and
Grattan Boy chance to brush a fast
eighth, which they did, although Herr
also stepped lively and was length to
the good. 1t looked like Herr for a
winner, but there was speed in the king
not seen thus far, for it was magnih-
cent to see him go after Herr in the
stretch. Coming down to- the wire 1t
was anybody's finish. But Cresceus
got there by nose, it seemed, and the
crowd went wild Herr looked tired,
but he was still a good choice on his
known qualities of dying hard.
The fourth heat opened with Cresceus
the favorite once more. At the word
Creseeus, Charley Herr and Arion went
by on even terms. Out went the first
named, pulling Herr after him, and the
latter a tri1e better of 1t at the quar-
ter, while Grattan Boy had displaced
Arion as third. Charley Herr contin-
ued to lead at the half by length;
Crasceus could not shake Grattan Boy
while Ar,on was four lengths behind,
and as usual, Lord Vincent was prac-
tically forgotten. 1t was at the three
quarters that Hers chance of winning
looked the best, for with a whole length
to the good 1t did not appear that be
could lose. But with an ease that car
ried the crowd off its feet Cresceus
stepped out and in going through the
stretch went to the front by four
lengths, while poor Herr, tired out was
whipped under the wire q second just

The fifth and last heat was simple
affair. Cresceus led all the way round
after beautiful send-off. The feature
was in the last hundred yards, when
Grattan Boy beat Herr for place. The
race was ended and Cresceus was
crowned again. Throughout the race
Lord Vincent was never in it, while
Arion was unable to force himself when

Frederick Warde.

There have been few occasions in ths
history OF the Park opera house when it
was filed with more intelligent and
elegant audience than that which greet
g - deSick Warde and company last
~. The mere fact that Manager
: 3slsll was able to- o\secure 30 talented
az actor and company to visit the city
vas sufficient inducement to ill the
house with the best audience the city
could s-2ord.
Many poo ole who had see a Warde in
tragedy we're anxious to see him in the
new romantic comedy which was written
for his benefit by q. r. Spencer, who.
with his wife, was Warde's main sup
port. That he did not disappoint his
splendid audience was evident from the
manner in which he was received and
the abundant applause which greeted
him at every opportune climax in the
play. The stage settings and costuming
were elaborate and the support seemed
to be throughout very capable.
The comedy is in four acts with the
scene laid in Milan in the Fourteenth
century. Warde, as the jester to the
duke, was superb, in his lines and the
admirable manner in which he main
tanned the supremacy Of that most try
ing part.
Cropping out from the outlying strain
Of the liz res given to Cecco, the Jester, to
l,o ~
thar ordinary man, which the audience
readily comprehended and followed de-
lightfully throughout the various scenes
OF the play. In the last scene OF the
Fourth act. when Cecco takes the place
of the Duke and hears the confession of
Nina DeBorgio, was Warde especially
charming and gave that evidence that he
belongs to. the great school Of actors,
which is sometimes lost sight Of in the
other PORTIONS Of the play, when the fool
was made to act the fool for the enter
tainment of the Duke.
The support given to Warde by Mr..
and Mrs. z. II. Spencer, added much to
the effectiveness OF the play. Mr.. Spen-
Ger, Ine duCnOf, COOk tne CuardCIer Ol lHo
Duke, and to many this was really one of
the delightful parts Of the entertain
ment. Mrs. Spencer, as Nina DeBorgio,
was, in voice, costuming and the elegance
of her oiction, true representative OF
the best in theatric art. She rose to the
demands OF the play without straining
at any point.
Manager Haskell certainly can find
reason in the splendid audience last
night to encourage him to secure for sew
eral OF the engagements this season, art
lists OF the character OF Warde.
1t is doubtless true that many such
plays as was given last night, could hard
ly be made to pay in this city, at its
present population, but one or two each
year will find good audience and an
appreciative one to listen to the master
pieces in comedy and tragedy.

Story of the Pilgrims.


Children, do you know the story
OF the first Thanksgiving Day,
Founded by our Pilgrim Fathers
In that time SO far away?
They had given for religion
Wealth and comfort, yes. and more.
Loft their homes and friends and kindred
For a bleak and barren shore.
On New England's rugged headlands,
Where now peaceful Plymouth lies,
There they built their rude log cabins
Meath the cold, forbidding skies.
And too often e'en the bravest
Felt his blood run cold with dread,
Lest the wild and savage red man
Burn the roof above his head.
Want and sickness, death aud sorrow
Met thei- eye on every hand;
And, before the spring-time reached them,
They had buried half their band.
But their noble, brave endurance
Was not exercised in vain.
Summer brought them brighter prospects,
Ripeniug seed and waving grain.
And the patient Pilgrim mothers,
As the harvest time drew near,
Looked with happy, thankful faces
At the full corn in the ear.
So the governor. William Bradford,
In the gladness of his heart,
To praise God for all his mercies
Set a special day apart.
This was in the autumn, children,
Sixteen hundred twenty-one;
Scarce year from when they landed,
And the colony begun. q
And now, when in late November
Our Thanksgiving feast is spread,
'Tis the same time honored custom
OF those Pilgrims long since dead.
We shall never know the terrors
That they braved, years, years, ago;
But for all their struggles gave US
We our gratitude can show.

Once in every twenty-four hours
Aaron Palmer is baked alive in the

Translated that means that he has
gout. Not the plain gout that many
suffer, but an acute rheumatic gout,
which has practically ossitied his limbs,
so that for over three years his legs
and arms were as hard as marble, be-
ing frightfully wasted and distorted,
and absolutely incapable of any move
ment or feeling. His condition was
pathetic in the extreme and it was only
a question of time when the dread par
alysis would encroach further upon his
body, until it affected some vital or

Buying q Fan.

Miss Katharine Lee Bates, who
spent some months in Spain last year,
declares that the dark-eyed damsels OF
the fan and lace mantilla are quite as
charming as tradition has pictured
them. Ignorant they commonly are,
their education being of the most
meager, but they are not dull. They
are quick-witted, high-spirited and af-
fectionate, and are possessed Of grace
of speech and manner which rarely de.
serts them. Nor do they reserve their
pretty ways only for the ballroom OF
the parlor; even ordinary shopping is
lifted into a scene of elegant comedy
by the manner in which it is transact.
ed. This is how a Spanish senorita
bargains for her fan:
There Is nothing sordid about it. Hel
haggling is a social condescension that
at once puts the black-eyed young
salesman at her mercy.
"But the fan seems to me the least BIT
dear, senior"
"Ah, senorita! You do not see how
beautiful the work is. am giving II
away at six pesetas."
She lifts her eyebrows half-incredu
lously, all bewitching.
"At five pesetas, senor."
He runs his hand through his blacl
hair in chivalrous distress.
But the peerless work, senorita
And this other, too. l sacrifice it a
four pesetas."
She touches both fans lightly.
"You will let me have the two Al
seven pesetas, senor?"
Her eyes dance over his confusion
He catches the CLEAN, laughs back
throws up his hands.
"Bueno, senorita! At what yor
please!'
And the senorita trips away content
ed with a sharp bargain, although-fol
Spanish gallantry, even when genuine
goes farther on the lips than otherwise
the price was probably not mucf
more remote from what pleased the
smooth-tongued clerk than from wha
she pleased.
