tor Clark wired the Committee on Public

"a PAIR OF sPEcTACLEs. /"
John Hare Gives n Successful Per-
formance of the Comedy.

In strong contrast to The Gay Lord
Quex," the play that Mr.. John Hare and
his company use as their principal offer
ing during their local engagement at the
National, is "a Pair of Spectacles,' which
was given at the matinee yesterday. The
version of the French comedy that Sydney
Grundy has supplied for the English actor
Is a cleverly constructed entertainment.
with its strongly drawn and highly con-
trasted characters of the Goldfnch broth
ers predominatlng the other roles. 4
large audience applauded the excellent
work OF Mr.. Hare, Miss Vanbrugh, and
their associates.
The Benjamin Goldfnch of John Hare
was a particularly fine bit of character
drawing. strong In the shading OF humor
and pathos and true in the coloring OF its
benevolence. Mr. Gilbert Hare interpreted
the opposing role, Gregory Goldfinch nat
urally and most convlncingly. Miss Van
brugh was not called upon to demonstrate
any unusual merit in the rather colorless
part of Mrs Goldfneh, but Arthur Gren-
Vile made manly, intelligent fellow of
the son of the Sheffield manufacturer. Mr..
Two Dawson played Percy with the cutest
little lisp that has come this way for
many a day. Others who participated in
the performance were Mr.. E. Vivian Rey-
nolds Mr.. Lewis Fielder. Mr.. Harry II.
Spear. Miss Florence Jackson. and Miss
Beatrice Coleman.
The last two performances of The Gay
Lord Quex" will be given at the National
this afternoon and evening.

DAMAGE TO THE KEARsARaE.
The BattIeship to BE Thoroughly
Examined ut New York.

1t is said at the Navy Department that
it will be necessary to send the battle
ship Kearsarge to New York Navy Yard
to have an examination made of the dam
age caused to one of her Pinch guns by
the premature explosion of shell. If
repairs are required they will be made
at the yard. The reports received at the
department from Pensacola, where the
kearsarge is lying, are that the de of
the gun was SCARED, and, perhaps, more
seriously injured. The facilities at Pen
sacola for determining the extent of the
damage are not sufficient and there are
no means there to make repairs
Should il be necessary to take out the
gun the Kearsarge must be laid up for
about two months. while the repairs are
being made. The fact that the gun was
in the lower turret of one of the Kear
sarges superposed. or double deck struc-
lures makes the work of an unusually
delicate character. No naval officer is
prepared to say whether the gun may be
taken out by unscrewing some OF the rear
plates of the turret. Some officers be-
lieve that it will be necessary to take of
the upper turret and then the top of the
lower turret in order 10 remove the gun.
This last named contingency would re-
quire considerable time and additional
eNpense

Pronunciation Of Latia.

Some people seem to imagine that
there are just two styles of pronounc-
ing Latin, one continental and the
other English. This is not true, for
the French and German and Italian
pronuneiations are quite diverse.
This was amusingly evident at the
meeting Of the vatican council. Fora
year before the meeting q stenograph-
ic corps of young priests was drilled
in the pronunciations ct different
countries. When the council met, no
one bishop vas able to understand all
the other bishops. The French bish-
ops were the despair Of the Italians,
and there we're some Irish bishops
that might as well have spoken Chi
neze, for all that the Spanish and Ital-
ians could understand N. ]. Indss

THE GLOW OF Al DIAMOND.
stone Eniss q Pale Light If Put Under
Pressure.

According to the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat, a traveller for dia-
mond house was talking shop the
other evening, and, speaking Of gems.
said: The most oyerWorked expires
sion used by the unsophisticated and
deeply mpressed diamond purchaser
Is: TT actually looks as Il it gIoWs
Of itself. Now, it is not generally
known that such is actually the case,
although not, Of course, in the way
the public intends. The beauty Of
the gem in light is, Of course, in its
remarkable refraetiVe power. but nj
der certain, conditions the diamoEH
has more, for It may CLEAN evenin the
night with a pale but extremely beau
tiful light. Inshort, it becomes phos-
phorescent. Heated to a certain tenn
perature, The internal fire shows it
sell, and under pressure the same is
true. Some years ago went to Am
sterdam to purchase some special
stones for a California millionaire,
who had ordered them through our
New York house, and while there I
was shown the inside workings Of the
famous diamond-eutting establish
ments of that city. 0fall that ] saw,
however, the sself-hame' of the
stones under pressure most surprised
me. The manager placed large rose
cut gem between the jaws Of a wise
md carefully applied a certain amount
Of pressure. He then extinguished
all the light in the shop, and as soon
as my eyes had become accustomed
to the darkness I saw the diamond
emitting soft radiance Of its own
like very pale GLOW worm. AS ! re-
member it, he said that the yelloWer
diamonds were slightly more phos-
phorescent than the first-Water stones.
By the way, you would be really as
tonished to know the number Of jew
els which also possess Sself-fame' to
more or less extent, and / have often
wondered If the alchemists who per-
formed such apparently well-authen-
ticated wonders IN the middle ages
did not know something Of phosphor-
escence and its Oddities z
