NOT, ON THE Playful.

BlancltetBates had an amusingtex-
perience recently at the Garden the
ater, Newg York, where she appeared
in the Leading role of "Under Two
Flags" In the first act, as Ciga-
rette, she, entered with whip in
her hand While Stimulating fit
of rage, inbwhich she laid about her
right and left with it, the lash of
the whip broke and flew across the
footlightsy striking woman in the
front row of the orchestra directly
across the face.
Involuntarily Miss Bates exclaim-
ed: "Ah, i beg your pardon. ! am
so sorry. / hope l did not hurt
you"
Instantly, in very high key,
there came this reply from the or
chestra: ''Oh, no, not at all, Miss
Bates. The pleasure is mine. With
your permission, I'll keep the lash
as a souvenir"
The effect of this remark was elec
trical. Only few of the spectators
had seen the accident, and from the
clever way in which Miss Bates ham
died her voice scarcely any one but
the woman addressed had heard the
remark. But the victim of the lash
of the whip wasn't so fine an elocu-
zionist. Her words rang out so loud
and clear that Miss Bates and the
other actors had to turn their backs
to hide their laughter.-Exchange.

The shamroek,s Designer.

George Lennox Watson, the de-
signer of Shamrock III, began his ca
reer as a naval architect in 1872,
says the London King. Since then
he has been responsible for the erec-
ton of some very famous craft. In
his first year he designed the Clo-
tide, which proved great success.
In 1880 he planned the construction
of the Vandura, which beat the ia
nous Formosa, owned by the then
Prince of Wales. He furnished the
plans for the Americas cup compet-
itors in the Thistle, Valkyrie III and
Valkyrie III. But perhaps his great
est trump was the Britannia cutter
for the Prince of Wales, the best
craft of its kind ever seen in British
waters. Besides yachts, he has de-
signed many of the great ocean 60
ing steamers. In undertaking to
supply the design for Shamrock II
he admitted that he had the cutest
man in the bodybuilding world to
beat in Herreshoff, the American,
but he was not dismayed by Ameri-
cas- past successes.

Portland "Sandpeeps."

Sheriff Pearson of Portland. Me-,
has given the name of "sandpeeps"
to the tiny TASKS holding two
ounces of whisky that are so COM
mon in Maine, because they are like
the little birds in being about all
stomach and head
a "sandpeep" when ready for the
market contains what is rated as
one drink of whisky, usually of very
poor quality, and it retails, bottle

died in the public streets without de-
lection. In some saloons the whis-
ky traffic is carried on almost en-
tirely by the aid of these little pock-
ct TASKS, thus doing away with the
use of glasses and incurring less risk
of seizure, the source of supply be-
ing at safe distance from the sa-
loon.
The liquor deputies a few days
ago applied to the court for war
rant to search the person of man
who they had reason to believe was
pursuing the avocation of a pocket
peddler. They found 63 of these
little "sandpeeps," all filled with a
cheap grade of whisky, concealed in
his pockets and underneath his

David Bispham, the singer, has
broken himself of the habit of
smoking cigarettes in so simple a
way that he wants everybody else
addicted to the habit TO try his
method.
Il used to wonder" Mr.. Bispham
said the other day in a voice that
proclaimed his desire to give the
method all possible publicity,
whether il was the smoke | enjoyed
or merely the sensation of holding
the cigarette in my mouth. l de-
cided that il was in all probability
only the latter. To cure myself /
began by putting into my mouth
whenever ! felt like smoking a piece
of pencil and keeping it there until
my temporary nervousness passed
away. After | had done that for a
week | found the pencil jnst as sat
isfactory as the cigarette, and | de-
cided that it was not the tobacco to
which | was victim. In less than
a month had entirely broken my
self of the habit of smoking ciga-
rettes, and | have never gone back
to them. Whenever | feel a particu-
larly strong longing for one, ] puff

Old Geronimo.

Geronimo, the noted Apache
chief, lives, at the age of 81, in a
frame house near Fort Sill, o. T.,
with an income of over 81 900 a
year. While little in sympathy with
modern civilization, the old chief
appreciates one of its inventions, the
camera. He charges IS for his pic
ture. He always looks his toughest
in his pictures. He likes to strike
an attitude of deyilish ferocity when
being photographed The older he
grows the greater is his desire to
make fiendish appearance, Five
years ago, when he first went to Fort
Sill, he was content to wear white
mems clothes and consented to have
himself photographed wearing
them. Now when he poses he looks
like the old time redskin of the Apa-
che tribe. This is because he sees
that his war clothes attract more at
tention from white visitors. lie
does his best to give them their mon
ey's worth and to live up to their
expectations.

The WalIaek Ghost.

No traces of the ghost that used
to haunt the old Star theater have
been discovered by the workmen
who have destroyed the building, yet
it once attained the dignity of inves-
tigation by one of the psychical So
cieties. 1t was said to be the ghost
of James Wallack, the member of
the family that built the theater
and moved there from his playhouse
farther down Broadway. The old
actor was supposed for years to
haunt the building and was seen in
various parts of the theater by so
many persons that an encounter
with the specter came to be regard
ed as matter of course in the es-
tablishment.
The stories of these encounters
were so frequent and narrated with
such conviction that the matter was
formally taken up by scientific So
ciety, which never rendered any re-
port of its conclusions on the sub
ject. 1t was thought that something
to explain the ghost might be found
when the building was torn down,
but so far there has been nothing
that might suggest the origin of the
belief held by all the theater EN-
ployees that the specter of old
James Wallack was accustomed to
walk in the building for many years
after his death.-New York Sun.

ever set before an army as regular
diet in the history of the world.
Not only are our soldiers we'll fed, but
they are better clothed than those OF
any other nation. Every man is paid q
monthly stipend. The great nations of
Europe. with one exception. conscript
their men. They are fed and clothed
as economically as possible and they re-
ceive no wages. When they are dis
charged from the army they receive no
pensions, excepting in rare cases. while
our soldiers are literally provided for In
that respect. Is 1t any wonder, under
these circumstances that our army,
man for man, is much more costly than
European armies? And yet this is the
charge the democrats and he so-called
anti imperialist newspapers have
brought against the administration.
They have pointed to the fact that our
army, including pensions soldiers
homes and all such things, costs more
than a European army Of like size, and
they have foolishly blamed the admins
tration for that fact.
