From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 In the play contemplated the summer entertainment given by Irving and Terry in London, Miss Terry again has to make stage love to young man whom she has watched grow from babyhood to manhood and distinction.
 This time the favored is Fred Terry, who is the vogue in England, and he will play the lover to his distinguished aunt who, although 52 years old, is sprightlier, bright CT, handsomer and more vivacious than any comedienne in the world fit for the Olivias and Rosalinds and Portias of classic come- dy.
 Isn't it absurd to have Laurence Irving singing and making eyes at me in '"The Amber Heart?" asked Miss Terry, after a performance of that delicate fantasy. When he rushes at me and pleads fervidly for an embrace or warm glance from me, ! always feel like saying, Here you are, my child; go away and play Why, have coddled and patted and taught Laurence since he was a baby.

There are few branches of human in-
 vention in which more progress has been
 made during the past half century than in
 that of the making of life-saving ap-
 pliances.
 Today the life boat service that exists
 in almost every part of the civilized world
 is so well known that it is difficult to
 realize that there ever was a time when
 the coasts upon which the waves of the
 oceans break were unprovided with this useful invention. However improbable it may seem the fact still remains that it
 was only little more than century ago
 that the first life boat was designed. While it has often been stated that the first appliances for life saving at sea were the result of the invention of Henry Great head the South Shields boat builder. this | IS not entirely true to fact. MT. Great head did much to improve the first inven- ton, but the honor for having made the original model belongs to Lionel Lukin. a Dunmow, England, coach builder It was he who first designed and fitted a boat which lie called the "Unmergible" and for which he took out a patent in 17S5. N0th-
 ing, however, came of the invention, and several years passed before the public ac- tually felt the need of such boat In September, 17S9, however the "Ad- venture, of Newcastle, was wrecked on the Herd Sand, barely quarter of a mile rom the shore, and all on board were To st

cutors, 'T was making a speech to crowd of negroes in a room near Third and Walnut streets. I had grown quite eloquent and had drawn some applause from my audience by praisng the negro and by stating that in the town where I came from the pupil who led her class the year I graduated was negro girl.
 But I had a lot of politics to expound, and during the latter part of my speech l noticed that the audience had grown restless, especially the male portion of it. I heard a whispering behind me and scraping, but I did not turn around to see what was the cause of 1t. I noticed, how ever, that the men became suddenly quiet and paid much closer attention to my re- marks. When the meeting was over l saw what had had a more quieting effect on the nerves of the men listeners than my words. It was placard which had been spread across the hall behind while I was sailing the highest and which read
