European University Songs.

From the London Globe
The conspicuous scarcity of characteris-
tic songs in British as compared with Ger
man universities is probably due to other
causes besides the relative indifference to
musical culture of British youth as a whole
The undergraduate of Oxford or Cambridge
does not take himself with that prodigious
seriousness which characterizes the student
OF Bonn or jena. and is not naturally in
clined to regard his university career as a
separate idyllic phase of existence descrv-
Ing of reverent and enthusiastic lyrical
treatment. His general athletic bias makes
him regard musical men" of serious cast
as class apart, whose proselytes are for
tunateiy few, while on the occasions when
MS triumphant soul seeks relief in more
or less melodiOus outpourings he is apt to
nnd the simple directneSS of the latest An
sIo-Amer1can musical comedy fit his needs
quite fully. For these different reasons
such an attempt has once more been
made recently to provide English univer-
slty men with song book after the Ger
man pattern is not very likely to succeed
Ihere IS neither an adequate demand nor
Suitable supply. In Germany there exists
great mass of student songs because for
generations the taste of the students mas
run in that direction In England there are
hardly any songs that have special suit
ability for university life at all and any
selection made from songs at large Is arbf-
trary and carries light weight with its in
tended public.

The Automobiles Highway.

From the Tablet
The motor car has now begun to find its
feet with vengeance, and its friends are
already wondering whether there will be
room much longer for horses on the high
way. Mr. Joseph Pennen states the views
of the advanced school with admirable
clearness: Special roads are not a neces-
sity, and on ordinary roads 1t is the horse,
the ass. the pig-whether the two latter
walk upon two or four legs 1t Is of no con-
sequence-it Is these producers of filth and
of blocks, these destroyers of roads and OBJ
structors of traffic, that have got to go. AS
far as the two-legged ass is concerned It has
been driven into his head by means of large
signs. small rewards, spies and high fences,
that If he walks upon a railway line he will
be killed probably, and no one to blame but
himself-and his relatives may have to pay
for 1t. The fact must be brought home to
this imbecile at once that he has got to
keep his part Of the highway-that is to
the side path. The British belief that a
man has the right to camp out in the
middle Of the road. or use 1t as a reading
room. because his grandfather did, must be
knocked from his head, even IL by sudden
concussion."

The First Actress.

A London paper says the first woman to
act on the stage in a play made her ap-
pearance in 1860. Previous to that time all
female parts were taken by boys or men,
in very much the same way as in these
days the principal boys In the pantomimes
are played by girls There is a legend that
before the year mentioned Anne, the wife
of James l. assumed the female part in a
play produced at the Court Theater before
her royal husband. But the fact is not au-
thenticated. The character enacted by the
first actress in England was Desdemona,
but the name of this intrepid adventures
has not been preserved. and 1t is believed
that she was a foreigner, for most records
state that the first English actress was a
Mrs COlman. who appeared in Davenant's
Siege OF Rhodes 1anthe, in 1856
Charles ii is said to have first encouraged
the public appearance of women upon the
stage, and this is certainly very probable

SOME NOTABLE DEBUTS.
Tragic and Amusing First Appear
ances of Prominent Stage Folk.

From TIE Pittsburg Gazette.
BY very curious coincidence Sir Henry
Irving was making his first bow to the
public from a Sunderland stage when his
companion in so many triumphs. Miss Ell
len Terry. was making a first appearance
at Manchester under conditions which
might have been tragic.
To neither is the memory of that evening
pleasant. To Mr.. Irving it was IAN eter-
nifty of torture and his nervousness was
so great that on leaving the stage he faint
ed outright. Little Ellen Terry's'' expe-
riences were still more painful and cumi-
mated. like Mr.. Irving's, in a dead faint the
moment she left the stage.
She was playing Puck in Midsummer
Nights Dream she was only seven years
old at the time-and, in the words of
critic of the time, was "as sweet and dainty
a Puck as was ever seen on any stage"
and at the close of the play she had to rise
through a trapdOor. throned on a mush-
room, to make the closing speech.
BY some mischance the trapdoor was
closed too soon. impriSOning one of her feet :;
and when the foot was released it was
found that one of her toes was broken.
In spite of this the brave sirl made her
speech without faltering, only to faint
away at it's conclusion
Coquelin's first appearance is also a pain
full memory to him. In spite of much anx-
aous preparation he felt that his acting
ruined at the very threshold of his career
AS he left the stage during the second
act with the words:
Those cruel words have set my blood on fire.
III seek the air to cool my boiling ire.

theater: That's right, old fellow; do go
and air yourself-only don't come back

alnelds Weaver undoubtedly brought a
considerable fortune to its author. This
one-act play was enacted by Mr.. ]. l..
Toole at various periods throughout his
brilliant career, and 1t has figured. more
over. at countless amateur entertainments.
Equally. the amusing farce, ''1ci on Parle

Overcharged for Patti.
From Leslie's Weekly.

Eiph l~Siie weekly
Adeiina Patti was not always such a
gold mine to managers as some may sup
pose When she visited New York in 1880
her manager, Signor Lugo, overreached
himself by starting out on a ten-dolIar ad-
mission basis, and the venture was finan-
cial failure, Notwithstanding PATHS great
artistic success She sang to 81 400 house
on the first night and on the second to s4OO.
She got discouraged, as it was her own
venture. and gave it up The late Henry
H. Abbey, who was bold IN his speculations
then engaged her and her company at
S1,pH per concert. He began at old Wal
lacks Theater at 18th street giving scenes
of opera. and the concerts there averaged
over $1,000 a performance: but he lost in
the out-Of-town concerts $40, 900. A little
later, being asked by De Nivo to take Patti

Eiyo, l have got enough of Patti. 1 lost
$4,000, but 1 made reputation"

UNCLE SANS FLowER-GARDEN
New Varieties of Plants in the Gov
eminent Parks mt the Nations
Capital.

Among the many new plants which
will grace Washington parks during
the coming summer viii be several
varieties of shrubs and SNOWY budding
plants. and of these the pepper plant,
cared for all winter under glass at the
propagating gardens, viii be one Of
the most attractive. Berries upon this
plant are of all the colors of the solar
spectrum. and the rainbow effect upon
the general color scheme viii be a
gorgeous one, says a report from
Washington
A new variety Of hardy purple aston
will also be seen in the parks here for
the first time this summer. 1t Is the
product of experiments conducted by
Landscape Gardener Brown and his
assistants. At this big flower farm
work has progressed steadily all win
ter and preparation made for the com
ing Of spring. Plants are PrOPagated
under glass in such order and after
such nice calculation that so fast as
one variety reaches the period Of
bloom and dies another IS ready to
take its place
And II takes considerable time and
patience and knowledge TO provide for
the 3O2 public reservations OF Wash
ington. with their aggregate extent
OF 4.O17 acres
Twenty-Five new parks have beer
added 10 the already large number OF
reservations in the city They are
usually small, being chiefly triangles
at the intersection Of streets and av-
enues which have heretofore existed
merely as unsightly deserts, bare OF
yerdure and producing large crops OF
stones and tin cans. These spots have
now been made gardens. They have
been sodded, grass seed has been sOwn,
various other improving features
wrought. and the one-tir1e eyesOres
converted into smiling bits Of grassy
park. The improvements upon all OF
them viii be completed before July 1.
Before the season is over there will
be blooming in the various parks
nearly 100000 plants OF all descrip-
tions. Many Of them are absolutely
new. and the assurance Is given that
lovers Of botanical euFiosities viii be
much pleased at the work Of the gen
erous government.

Aid Needed for Six Months.
FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE.
Probably zoo Miners killed as the
Result Of an Explosion of Gas
Near Coal Creek, Tenn.

Coal Creek, Tenn May 2O.-The
worst disaster in the history Of Ten
nessee mining occurred at 1880
o'clock yesterday morning, when be-
tween IT'S and 225 men and boys met
instant death at the FraterviIle coal
mine, located two miles west Of this
town. A gas explosion was the cause
Of the disaster.
Out OF the large number Of men
and boys who went to work yester-
day morning only one is alive and he
is SO badly injured that he cannot
live. This man is William Morgan,
rOadman in the mine. He was blown
out of the entrance by the force OF
the explosion. One hundred and sew
enty-five miners were checked IN for
work yesterday morning by the mine
boss. In addition TO these there
were boys who acted as helpers and
drivers and rOadmen and others to
the number of perhaps so.

A SLAVE PREACHERS SERMON
introduced his Favorite, Blind Bar

Mr. D. Eldridge Monroe tells an in
teresting story Of the preaching OF
Nelson Bone, a famous slave preacher
In southern Maryland, many years

and eOlOred people came from miles

acters was Blind Bartimeus, and rare

On the occasion Of which Mr. Mon

Kansas Will BE sOIidIy Republican.
81 expect to see large republican
gains In the west at the coming cleo
tiOn," says Representative Curtis, of
Kansas, from Washington. "In our
state we viii elect a solid republican
congressional delegation and repub-
Iican legislature will choose a successor
to Senator Harris, a pOpuIist. There
is now one democrat in the Kansas
congressional delegation, and he, in
my judgment, will be succeeded by
republican.
"There viii be republican gains in
Nebraska, and in fact throughout the
entire west. These gains will be due
to the prosperity and contentment Of
the people. Speaking for my state, the
farmers have paid their mortgages,
have had excellent crops, are out Of
debt. and have money in the bank
We now have money TO loan. The pop
ulistic sentiment has entirely disap-
peared- This is a natural result Of
prosperity. When the pOpulistic SEN
timent was at its height they were de-
handing more money, and the most
they asked for was so per capita We
have now exceeded the most glorious
dreams Of the pOpulists, and instead Of
so per capita the people Of Kansas
have now IN the banks $50 for every
man, woman and child In the state.
sThis, with the war record of the ad-
ministration. viii win for the republi-
cans. Kansas has always been patriot
ic and loyal when there was war. It is
a soldiers state, and has 10000 soldiers
within its borders. They do not relish
the fire-in-the rear policy Of the demo
Gratis and viii repudiate it. These sol
diers have sons, sons-in-Iaw, nepbews,
cousins and friends, consequently in
our state the army is a popular insti-
tuition, and any party which pFesumes
TO attack viii suffer overwhelming de-
feat when the people have a chance TO
speak"
