Italian and RattlesnaIxe.

An Italian laborer working on the railroad at Heating, Pa., saw rat tlesnake coiled under stone. Not knowing anything about snakes he picked the reptile up to throw it aside, when the snake struck it's fangs in the mans hand. The Italian contin- ued working, when his hand began to swell, which attracted the attention of his fellow-workers. He explained the matter sententionsly in these words: "Worma bit ma hand Hurts like hella. What do?" An investiga- ton showed that the "worm" was over. four feet long, and a deadly black rattler. The Italians wrist was tight ly encircled by heavy piece ofFcord and about half an hour later he was taken to the office of Dr. J. K. Gilmore, at Westport. Dr. Gilmore did all he could for the Italian, and the other day he was reported out of danger. The hand had swollen to eight times its normal size.

 With profuse thanks the fairy" departed.
 The farmer boys who apply for "stage jcbs," as they call them, usual ly have a desire to be soldiers. It is their idea of glory. If they can only yates in Shenandoah" or fight un- der the banner with "Brutus." It is not so hard to get '.job" in this line. They call themselves actors. A cruel and thoughtless public dubs them ''supes."
 Another applicant who was sure of her ability to win plaudits from an en- raptured audience appeared on the 'Rialto'' the other day. She was by no means young and did not rely alto gether on her beauty for success. She came from somewhere '.way down east" and she believed that her pow CT as tragedienne was matchless. She called upon an unprotected man. ager, and, despite his protests, was de- termined to show a sample of her act ing to him. Her strongest part, she said, was Lady Macbeth. From be- meath the folds of her dress she drew dagger. The manager thought under the circumstances he would best sub init. She went through the entire play from start to finish, reading all the parts, and when she reached the strong dialogue of "Lady Macbeth" she frothed at the mouth and chew up the the scenery. When she was through the manager told her the theater only produced spectacular pieces and if she liked he would let her play the part of @Old Pantaloons" in ''HumPty Dump ty." She swung out of the office highly indignant.

 The woman repeated her refusal. pr. Behm sent for nourishment and assistance. Mrs. Elizabeth -McDonald, matron of the Bethel mission, and Miss Susan Clark came. The little ante room was made into hospital. The starving babydwas placed on table with a law book for pillow. The mother did not leave her chair.
 It was too late; the little spark of life was out before nourishment was received. The two brothers and the sister stood by the table and wept heart-breaking tears. Curiously enough there is no law to punish a mother for starving her baby.

THESPIANS AT WORK.
Stage People Are Now Getting Ready for Fall Season.

 Q Burden.
Especial New York LetteE.l


 TE one strolls along upper Broad
 way in the hot days of summer he
 will be particularly impressed with the dreariness of that part of it which the Thespians are pleased to call ''The Rialto." The big theaters are boarded up as tight as the mansions of the mil ionaire clique over on Fifth avenue. 1t is the activity of the actors and act Tesses, who use Broadway between Thirtieth and Forty-second street as promenade in the afternoons when the heated season is over, and the dazzling glare of the many-colored electric lights which shine forth from the the Aters by night, that has given it fame on two hemispheres as a highway, bizarre in the picturesqueness of its pedestrians and inimitable in its kaleidoscopic gayety and frivolity.
 The real stars of the profession de- sert the crowded city in the summer. They go beyond the sea- The lesser lights seek the nearby ocean resorts; and as for the mere jig dancers, the high kickers. the jugglers, the topical song singers and the S15-a-week ones, who needs must eat-why, they are holding down the boards in the vaude- vile shows at Manhattan Beach, Coney Island, Roekaway, Bergen Beach and kindred resorts where people gather in armies, ever in search of that fitful will-o-the-wisp, ycleped pleasure.
 But now the fall season approaches, and, although the facades of the the ster buildings are as grim as the walls of Moro castle, within there are evi- dences of life Great companies of chorus girls are hard at work with new songs and new steps, Comedians are rehearsing comic parts.

THAT BABY IS sTARv1NG."

April. There were four children Fred, eight years old; Arthur, six; Elsie, five, and the eight-months-old baby. Following the separation the children lived with their mother.
 The family affairs of the Roebucks came up for official settlement at the juvenile court. The father, weli- dressed man, was there with the chil- dren.
 The mother sat in the ante-room with the baby in her arms. She said little; the baby's pinched face, worn to the bone by lack of sustenance, was half hidden under the mothers arm.
 Dr. c. w. Behm, who knew some thing of the story, glanced at the child and then felt its pulse.
 ''That baby is starving" he said to the mother "If you don't give it

Must Be a Human Crab.

A young British officer in the Trans vaal is either great romancer or he possesses some of the peculiarities of the crab, and is a. wonder at produc- ing legs. He wrote this letter to his dad: Dear Father: Kindly send me 50 at once; lost another leg in a stiff engagement, and am in hospital without means" The answer was :: 'My Dear Son: As this is the fourth leg you have lost according to your letters, you ought to be accustomed to it by this time. Try to wobble along on any others you may have left.''

men are side by side on the dark stage, striving to become perfect in their parts The young actor dreams of fame as he struts about for his one brief hour. The old man bowed with age now tolls for bread alone. The garish glimmer of the unrealities has gone from him forever. He sees only the canvas forest, the painted village and the cruel glow of the lime light.
 Still the ranks are ever filling. We must have new plays, new players to play them; new songs, new sing CTS; new dances and new dancers 1t was only the other day that a manager returned from Europe with Q barrel full of comedies and dramas.
 Mme- Bernhardt and Miss Maude Adams will play Romeo and Juliet;" Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry will be here for season of 20 weeks; Annie Russell will appear in .The Royal Family" Charles Hawtrey and company of 30 members will play "A Message from Mars" which he has produced for two consecutive seasons in London; E. H. Sothern, Miss Bar. rymore, William Faversham and score of others will appear during the winter.
 These are some of the successful ones- We never hear of the thou sands who have failed. As one drops out another takes his place. To keep the theater alive there must be actors and actresses to take the minor parts as we'll as stars to fill the important roles. And so it is that the managers of the theatrical companies are besieged just before the opening of the season with ap- plicants from all classes of life. They come from the poor working girl behind the department store counter to the milIionaire's daughter fn diamonds who imagines she is destined to achieve histrionic fame. The farm boy at his blow sees play in the village. gets. an inspira- tion, shucks his oyeralls and trudges to the city to seek fame and fortune behind the footlights. The country lass who has scored '-hit' at the home theatricals for the benefit of a missionary society believes the praises of her town friends will be voiced by the world She, too, comes to the manager or the theatrical agency. But those who are repulsed are after all the fortunate ones-

 The members of the minstrel show were rehearsing and for their amuse- ment they told him to go ahead. He pulled an old fiddle from beneath his jacket and began like man saving wood. When they had enough they told him to ''trot along" There were tears in the boys eyes, but just as he reached the door the manager, who saw something in the lads face that took his fancy, called him back and employed him. But these cases are the exceptions To those contemplating trying to become actors or actresses the advice of the old manager is timely. To all such he simply says: Don't"

WILL CHANGE NAME OF HOME
Sarah White to Become the Layton
Home for AGED Colored Persons.

The managers of the Sarah White
Home for Aged Colored Persons, Thirty
fifth and Market streets, have decided
to change the name of the institution to
the Layton Home for Aged Colored Per-
sons, and will shortly take the necessary
steps with that end in view. There are
several reasons for abandoning the pres
ent name.
The new name will be in honor Of
Mrs. Amelia Layton of No. 1923 Orange
street, and her late husband, John W..
Layton. Under the terms Of the latter's
will the institution is beneficiary, al
though it was not in existence at the
time Of his death, about 20 years ago.
Mrs. Layton. who is also possessed
of considerable means. has been one Of
the mainstays of the institution ever
since its inception, taking an active in
tcrcst in its management from the shart
and contributing literally to its sup
port.
In the five years of its existence the
home has acquired magnificent prop
erty on the east side of Market street at
Thirty fifth, the old mansion property
there having been purchased from Thorn
as ]. Talley some time ago.
Thirteen aged colored people are now
being cared for at the institution. Col
orod people otherwise eligible are adj
mitted for the remainder of their life
upon paymnt of 800.

DIED AS
He PLAYED.

New York, March 1S.-As the
mournful tones Of ''Tbe Last Rose Of
Summer" died away from Alexander
Monahan s violin--his solace and his
joy-his head dropped on his breast,
he breathed heavily twice and then
expired, He was janitor of some ten
ement houses in one Of which, at 96
Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, lie lived
with his wife and two children, Heart
disease was the cause of death.
lie finished his work early this
morning and retired to the dining
room of one apartment he occupied
ON the second floor. The violin was
taken from its place on the shelf.
Monahan handled it fondly as he tun
cd it up, and then seated himself TO
play. The two children, Mary, 8
years old, and George, 7 years old,
took places at his feet and looked up
into his eye as he placed the instru.
ment under his chin and drew the
bow softly over the strings.
Tune after tune was brought out
of the old instrument and finally, at
the request of little Mary, he began
"The Last Rose Of Summer. The
last bar of the sweet old melody had
hardly died away and the children at
his feet were still gazing into his face
when Monahan's head dropped for
ward, his chin resting on his breast.
All was quiet. The violin had drop
ped from his hands to the floor. Mrs.
Monahan entered the room just then
and sent one of the children for a
physician. He foaad that Monahan
was dead.
