For his production of King Henry V
TO be given in New York next week. it
is estimated that Richard Mansfield will
have to pay out not less than $4,000 be-
fore lie curtain rises. Some of the ex-
penseS are OF a sort unusual in the av-
erage stage production. One item IS
six horses, bought from a circus, be-
cause these animals are accustomed to
noise, lights. confusion and applause.
Aside from the scenery the other most
expensive item is probably the forty
two full suits of metallic armor for the
English mobiles in the battle OF Agin-
court. The jewelled orders OF the court
and mobiles OF France and England are
all identically correct. and the battse
flags emolaed with the coats OF arms OF

cost a pretty penny. There are some

While Tim Murphy was in Cincinnati
recently a plausibly spoken man intro
duced himself under the pretense of adj
miring his acting. He soon shifted the
subject to hypnotism and SO interested
the comedian that Mr.. Murphy finally
consented to test his power. The al
legged hypnotist insisted on the test be-
ing made in private and finally got Mr..
Murphy's permission to accompany him
to his room. There, in the presence of
the comedians wife, the performance
began. Mr.. Murphy in an effort to in
duce hypnotic results became perfectly
passive and quiet. The stranger must
have fooled himself into the belief that
he was hypnotist and that he had his
subject under control, for he sent Mrs.
Murphy out of the room for something
essential to the test and the next thing
the subject knew the stranger had left
Oh the mystic passes on his brow and
was making lightning passes through
his pockets. But the next pass was the
one that took the scoundrel Through the
door. 1t was a swift one and had moth
ing to do with hypnotism.

National suffrage BAZAAR Note.

BY far the most notable and valuable
contribution promised to the Bazaar is
a painting by the famous William
Keith, OF California. That ne will give
this canvas is due to the active interest
of his wife in the suffrage cause. of
which she was an outSpoken advocate
during the campaign a few years ago
in that State. Perhaps to appreciate
this gift, those of us who are not in
touch with art circles will need to be
told that Mr.. Keith's paintings are hung
siue by side with those of the old mas
ters in fine collections in his own State.
This is crucial test TO which to put
any modern artist. but William Keith
can afford to stand it. Of him a writer
in a California magazine says: HE
paints as the immortals painted
as all must paint who are TO be immor-
tal-with absolute sincerity as well as
mastery. He can do it because he is
full of material. a long life of strenu-
GUS study has equipped him, and a man
turned of sixty, growing every day,
Keith is doing nobler work than ever
before, increasing range Of technic
already marvellous. gaining higher mas
terry yet of the colors in which he was
already wizard, and unspoiled as a
child"
For several years Mr.. Keith's Sunset
in the Woods has been on the walls
OF the Metropolitan Museum OF New
York. His pictures are well known In

FACIAL EXPRESSION
AND HOW TO LEARN IT
by Henry T.. Dixey.

The decadence OF pant0mime proba-
bly, has much to do with the compar-
alive neglect of that most important
adjunct of the actors art. facial ex-
preston. Another reason is the i'm
provement OF grease paints and the
invention of nose putty and other
tricks Of makeup whereby the actor
is enabled to initiate, mechanically.
those effects OF expression for which
formerly he was Obliged to rely upon
trained facial muscles. The old-time
clown of the pantomimes simply coated
his face with white chalk, marked
few black lines upon it, and for the
rest depended solely upon his facial
plays for his effects. He had no lines
to speak of. so the whole story of the
piece. slender as it was. had to be told
in grimaces and gestures. Yet who
that ever saw the truly great clowns
of olden days, like George Fox, Tony
Denier or the Revels, will ever forget
the wonderful range of emotions they
managed to express upon their whit
ened visages?
The real reason why the clowns face
in olden times was whitened was to
concentrate upon it all the meagre
light Of the stage in those days and to
enable the audience to see plainly his
play of expression. On the japanese
stage even to this day it is custom
ary. when an actor has 2 scene re-

quiring special expression, Tor 4 stage
hand to hold lighted candle in front
of his face SO that the audience may
see and appreciate this feature Of his
art.
Foreign actors, particularly the
French and German, pay rather more
attention to facial expression than
Americans. it seems to me, and many
of them are really experts. But
think some of them have reduced the
thing to a formula that is rather be-
yond nature. If you will notice a man
who is really scared some time you
will discover that his expression is Of
ten more comical than impressive.
Again, the expression of genuine grief
is often more grotesque than pathetic.
Thus it is only by constant study OF
humanity in general, as we'll as by in
cessant practice, that one becomes a
master of facial expression. While
do not consider myself an expert,
have had exceptional opportunities for
the study and practice of the art. In
my boyhood / was pupil OF the Re-
wells, and at the old Howard Athen-
aeum in Boston had opportunities of
playing with and studying some of the
great actors of the old school,

Mrs. Efske,s Experiences.

One of the strongest impressions
brought back from abroad by Mrs.
Fiske was the striking difference be-
tween Italy and Switzerland in the
matter Of poverty and mendicancy. The
railway that runs through the st. Goth
ard tunnel takes one from Italy, where
importantly is endless, to Switzerland
where it is practically unknown. An
illustration was furnished to Mrs Fiske
in the loss in Switzerland, just before
her departure for Italy on her return,
of her handbag containing a purse.
She informed Swiss official of the loss
The rector of the English church OF
the town being the only resident that
could speak English, acted as inter-
prefer. 1t was promised that the lost
article would be found and forwarded
to Mrs. Fiske to an Italian address left
by her. Sure enough, she had hardly
arrived at the destination in Italy be-
fore the lost bag and purse, with con-
tents intact, were returned to her.
Hereupon Mrs. Fiske wrote to the
English clergyman who had kindly act
ed as interpreter for her to arrange for
giving a reward to the finder. A reply
came back that the government at
tended to such matters, giving to a
finder ten per cent. in value Of the
article found. Mrs. Fiske had stated
the value of her lost property and thus
the matter had been attended to. Wish
ing to show her appreciation of the
kindness of the clergyman, Mrs. Fiske
again wrote to him, enclosing a sum
''for the poor OF his parish" A reply
came to this to the effect that there
not only were no poor in the clergy
mans parish, but also that there were
no paupers in Switzerland. Upon Mrs.
Fiske's wish, however, the sum was
set apart by the clergyman to a church
fund which he had suggested as de-
serving Travellers in Switzerland no
doubt have noticed the absence of beg
gars and appeals for charity in that
country, but it is not probable that
many foreigners, though familiar with
other aspects of that country, are aware
that it is free even from the institu-
lions of pauperism so common in other
lands.

Magician kciicr.


Magician Kellar, whose forthcoming
engagement is announced, never claims
TO do impossible things, but when you
see some OF his new illusions you will
be ready to believe almost anything
any one says about him. In one OF
them, he has apparently succeeded in
suspending the inyiolable law of gravi
tation, and causes whatever he
touches to lose its weight and float
about, or remain stationary in the air,
wherever he wills it. He places a
plank in the air. horizontally, and it
stays there. Then he hypnotizes
young lady and places her in reclin
ing position upon the plank, and both
remain. The effect is startling. for the
audience has previously been thor
oughly convinced that no such anna
teur subterfuge as wires. mirrors, or
the like have been resorted to to attain
the result. In Oriental magic and il
Customary work. Kellar will this season
present dozen marvellous new illus
ions, each of which is apparently more
inexplicable than its predecessor. Yet
he tells you plainly that everything he
does is the result of trickery pure and
simple. Get onto his tricks if you can
If you do you are shrewder than most

MINISTER LEADS LYNoHERs.
They Seek to Avenge Brutal Assault
In Illinois.

Alton, Ills, Sept. 9.-Two bloodhounds
and posse of 80 men under the Rev.
Owen w. Rose, a minister of the gospel
of Sabula, Ia, are securing the country
in the neighborhood of Godfrey, Ills, just
north of this city, in search of two me-
groes for the purpose of lynching them.
Mr.. Rose has requested the authorities
not to interfere in case the men are TAX
en-, as he intends to string them up by
their legs, with their heads dangling
downward and shoot them to death.
William Riggs, brother-in-law of the
Rev. Mr.. Rose lives ON a farm two miles
west of Godfrey. He was in the field cut
ting corn, when two negroes approached
him and asked for work. He told them
he had no work TO offer them, and they
then demanded that he give them all the
money he had. Riggs saw that he had no
show in physical encounter with his
visitors, and he put his hand in his pock
ct to give them 60 cents, all the money
he had with him.
The instant he let go of his corn knife,
his only weapon of defense, the negroes
knocked him down and went at him with
razors. After making several horrible
gashes and cuts with their weapons, rem
dering Riggs practically helpless, the two
negroes proceeded to draw lines in circles
around his legs and make fancy cuts and
figures. When they had tired of this oc-
cupation, they left their victim in the
field.
Riggs lay there, bleeding and helpless,
for an hour and half before he was
found by his brother-in-law, who had
been visiting at the farm.
