At midnight an extra force OF stage
hands began work upon the produc-
tion of THE Evil Eye" which will
have It's presentation at the Opera
House tonight Their work will not be
over until the curtain rises this even
ing, the production which win be
given tonight being one OF the most
complicated ever seen in this city. The
massive scenic effects presented in the
production OF "The EVIL Eye are built
upon a scale which has never been
e0ualed in this or in any other coun-
try. When It is known that one sec
tion of the stage effects. the wings Of
which alone are each twenty-five feet
long, weighs almost n ton, and that
the remainder OF the stage furniture is
built on the same massive lines, the
magnitude Of the work to be under
taken In placing II all in position, can
be understood. There are no less than
six stars in the company which
Charles II. Yale and Sidney r. Ellis
send to Wilmington. and the entire
company is said to number sixty peo-
pie. not including the splendid Vic
toria Troupe of Royal English Singers

tity, so that any failure on her part should
not dim the luster Of her fathers fame
For this reason she combined the names OF
two clever women in her family, one OF
whom was Miss Mary Lucas, the maiden
name of her fathers mother, and the other
Alice Malet, her grandmother's aunt, both
Of which names she has thus rescued from
oblivion.
With lady writer's the fear Of family crit
icism seems to have been responsible for
many assumed names. Mrs. Alexander, for
instance, the author Of THE Wooing OF
and other delightful novels, adopted the
Christian name of her husband, Mr.. Alex
ander Hector, and under this mask won her
fame before he was even aware that she
had written a line. And Nine. Sarah Grand,
knowing that her husband, Surgeon McFall,
did not approve Of her views, concealed her
identity under the name now so widely
known, and which she chose on account OF
it's plainness.
1t is curious. by the way, how many lady
authors have selected unattractive and
even ugly pen names. Olive Schreiner won
her laurels under the almost repellant name
of Ralph Iron; Mrs. Craigie chose to be
known as John Oliver Hobbies, deliberately
selecting the least attractive name she
could think of, so that it might not be rec
ogniZed a weman's choice and that 1t
might warn her against any yielding to wo-
manly sentimentality in her writing; and
for similar reasons Mrs. Arthur Stannard
presented herself to the public as John
one could easily conceive.
Many writers have reduced the mystery
Of their MONS de plume to the utmost by
simply using their Christian name. as: Mr..
Thomas Anstey Guthrie, who chose to be
known as +. AnStey; Mr.. Forbes Phillips,
Athol Forbes: Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawk
ms, as Anthony Hope, and Mr.. A r. Hope
Moncrieff, as Ascot r. Hope.
1t is curious to observe how almost in
variably the pen-names of lady writer's are
either avowedly masculine or without indi-
cation of sex, as George Eliot Maxwell
Gray and G. NJ. Hutton (Mrs. Mona Caird).
Miss Ada Ellen Bayly arrived at the name
Edna Lyall, now so familiar to US, by the
simple process of transposing some of the
letters Of her own name. and Mile. de la
Rance as Is known, adopted as her public
appellation "Ouida," which was the nearest
approach very youthful sister could make
to the pronunciatio of her Christian name,
Louisa.
Some pen-names have distinctly humor-
GUS origin, Luke Sharp, which suggests
the obvious meaning that occurred to its
owner, Robert Barr. Mr.. Mostyn T. Pig
gott preserves his initials in the amusing
form of Medium Tom Plum.
The name Mark Twain was. as Is pretty
generally known, suggested to Mr.. Clemens
by the cry of the leadsman on Mississippi
boat when the lead indicated that the boat
water: the Rev. John Watson arrived at
Ian Maclaren by using the Gaelic form of
John and adding his mothers maiden name
of Maclaren, and Max ORell made COM
bnation of his grandfather's Christian
name, Maxine, and his grapdmother's
patronymic, O'Reilly. abbreviating Maxine
O'Reilly into the familiar Max O'Rell.

Yellow!

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
1t is distressful that such an ancient and
respectable color as yellow should come in
at this late day for severe denunciation
from one source or another but particu-
iarly in its connection with the proposed
worlds fair flag. Yellow is a good healthy
color when 1t is in the right place, and one
of the most agreeable places to see IL is on
the back Of a gold certificate. 1t Is true
yellow gets into good many places where
We don't want to see ii. 1t has for many
years been the quarantine flag, ard in the
human face in one form yellow betrays a
5aundiced liver, and in segregated figures
too much iron in the BLOOD" on the front
lawn ii appears as the dandelion pest. 1t
was once the shade that covered a multi
tude of sins in the dime novel, and is the
favorite tint Of that ark of many of our
woes. the street car. But this enumera-
ton is after all but whimsical indict-
ment. Yellow Is the color of ripening fields
of gold and of the Panama hat, which as il
grows in age and the affection of its owner
turns deeper tinge each year. despite but
termlk and bleaching. Yellow Is honored
in China, the Oldest nation on the earth, by
people who are nearly as yellow as their
flag. One-fourth the human race is of that
color and doesn't take anything for il. A
worlds fair flag with a streak of yellow
here and there ought to be designed in such
a manner as not to offend the eye, though
1t were next to hopeless work to create
any flag equal in harmonious arrangement
to the stars and stripes.

ages, both civil and military, who actively
or sympathetically contributed to the sue
cess of the war against England for Ameri-
can independence. This collection was
formed by a Partisan amateur interested IN
Americana, and demonstrated the enthu-
siasm which was evinced for American lib
erty by different classes of French society.
The prints are carefully mounted, ana
each one is accompanied by biographical
note in manuscript, giving the reasons for
its presence In the album. Many of the por-
traits are contemporary engravings, some
are Autographs. Special mention should be
made of the allegories on the declaration OF
war and the defeat of the English: the por-
traits of Louis XVI. Suffren, Menou and
Necker printed in colors; proof before let
