RISTORI'S TROUBLES.

The first item on the long roll of Euro

lalde Ristori created Medea. The part had
been refused by Rachel, and the italian
actress, out of delicacy toward her great
French sister artist, declined to underta
It, Legouve, nothing daunted sent her the
MS, but she would not even read it, SO re-
pugnant to her was the scene in which
Medea kills her children. He assured her
that the action need not take place before
the footlghts; but she remained inflexible,
until one day, when her hair was being
dressed, she took up the MS. and could not
put it down. She sent for Legouve. and
expressed her readiness to undertake Medea.
The costumes were designed by AIRY Schef-
fer, who himself on the evening of the
performance arranged the folds of Medea's
mantle, and the play was a triumphant sue
cess.
The children were killed ON the stage and
the process was always a troublesome one.
First one would try to run off the stage;
then another would pull his mothers mantle
to make her go too; a third was fright
ened at the people and tried to hide;
fourth was afraid to come down the "prac-
ticable'' hill; but the climax was reached

Witticisms of an Actor.

From the Boston Beacon.
If Maurice Barrymore's witticisms were
collected they would fill a book and lose
half their charm. Probably he never ut
tered many Of the clever things attributed
to him, but there never was an epigram too
brilliant for Barrymore to have made it.
Some were bitter as gall and few had
no more sting to them than butterfly. But
all of them showed that he possessed re-
markable mind. He once has a dispute with
a boastful bully In the St James Cafe, who
declared, IF / had you in Texas I'd blow
your head off, Then your courage is a
matter Of longitude" observed Barrymore
sweetly. He was once his way to the
Catskills for a holiday, when he fell in with
three other men. II am an actor broke en-
down by oyerwork, seeking health and
rest" he said. Il a business man going
to the mountains for the same reason" ex-

hills for pleasure. 1 don't work I am a

added Barrymore. When Steele Mackaye
told Barrymore that he would never become

sorrow or thrilling experience, the retort
came in flash, Write a play for me,
Steele, and shall get BOTH

Barrett's Helping Hand.
From Leslie's Weekly.

By way Of getting experience" a great
many students in the schools of acting do
"supe" duty at the downtown theaters,
and it Is in this way some of them get their
first engagements. During Miss Fischer s
student year Lawrence Barrett was play
ing Julius Caesar and he sent to the
schools of acting for people to go on in the
mob scene. Miss Fischer volunteered, and
when she marched up to the great star
with all her magnificent Romanesque
beauty he exclaimed: Hal she is the no.
blest Roman of them ALL" and placed her
where she would dress the scene to the
best possible advantage. After the re-
hearsal he asked another student who the
tall girl was, and she answered, I'VE call
her the tall sycamore from the Wabash"
This caught Mr.. Barrett's fancy and he be-
gan to take a personal interest in her, so
much so, in fact, that through him she re-
ceived her first engagement and counted
him a warm friend to the end of her life.

Royal Rehearsals.
from the London NJ. A. P.

From the London NJ A p.
The following amusing scraps of corona
ton gossip have come to me all the way
from the British legation in Athens: 1.-The
full dress rehearsals Of the coronation at
the Abbey though conducted with much
solemnity and decorum. were occasionally
enlivened by an amusing incident. At the
last rehearsal Colonel Brocklehurst, the
well-known equerry, who was taking the
part of the king, remarked after receiving
the homage of the archbishop Of Canter-
bury. that the last time he had come into
close personal contact with that great man
was on the occasion of his receiving fog
ging at his hands at Rugby, some thirty
five years before.
"At another dress rehearsal, Sir Spencer
Ponsonby-Fane acted the part of the king,
and caused considerable amusement when
the moment came for paying homage, by
saying solemnly and in an audible stage
whisper to Canon Duckworth. You needn't
kiss mel"

Told of Alexander Hermann.

From the Rochester Post Express.
Not many months before his death in
this city the magician was a guest at the
famous but now defunct Whitechapel Club,
the rendezvous of Chicago Bohemians On
the night in question venerable Japanese
priest was present. In the course Of a few
tricks Hermann picked up deck Of cards
and asked some one to select a card. The
seven of clubs was the card drawn from the
pack, and 1t was shown to the spectators,
but not to the magician. The card was re-
placed in the deck, which was shuff1ed and
then handed to one of the spectators.
Look through the deck, please said
Hermann.
The holder Of the cards did as requested
rs the card that was drawn in the pack?"
asked the wizard.
mo, sir,' answered the spectator.
What was the card?"
1.-The seven of clubs"
We'll gentlemen" said Hermann, 'If
one of you will kindly unace the prelate' 8

ished from the pack"
After a smiling protest the Japanese
priest unlaced his shoe. and there to the
amazement of all. was found the seven spot
of clubs.

WATER FOR THE HOLY CITY.

Jerusalem Is Now Supplied by Sys-
tenn of Modern Designs.
The holy land has its railways, cleo
tric lights and American windmills, and
now Jerusalem is about to get a supply
of good drinking water. In ancient
times the city of David was well sup
piled. The remains of aqueducts and
reservoirs show this. But since the
Turks day the people of Jerusalem
have been dependent on the scanty and
often polluted accumulations of rain
water in the rock-hewn cistern beneath
their feet. Even this supply has re-
Gently failed, says a correspondent of
the London Times, owing to want of
rain. Distress and sickness became SO
general that the Turkish governor has
at length been induced to sanction the
purchase of iron pipe to bring water
from Ain Salah, or the sealed fOun-
tain" at Solomon's pools, about nine
miles south of Jerusalem. A pipe six
inches in diameter will bring 5000

flowed through the arched tunnel built
by him to the distributing chamber or
reservoir near the northwest corner of
the highest of Solomon's pools. Half a
century ago the location of this 'hid-
den" spring which was still, as in Sol
Omon's time, flowing into the reservoir
mentioned, was unknown. The tunnel
is rooted by stones leaning against each
other like an inverted V, the primitive
form of the arch, which is also seen In
the roof of the queens chamber of the
great pyramid. The entrance to this
tunnel from the spring is one Of the
Oldest structures In existence. The
piping Is to be laid along the old aque-
duct which formerly. from the time of
Solomon, brought this same water to
the temple area. There are eleven or
twelve ancient fountains here and there
in the city, long unused, but now to be
utilized, and from which the water may
be drawn free to all, several taps being
attached to each fOuntain.-B Baltimore
