How a Petition Came Back.
rom IN. London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The attitude of the car to the monster
petition now being signed In America in
connection with the late massacre or jews
at Eishineff recalls the fate which overlook
n similar memorial which was drawn up at
a great meeting in the London Guildhall in
December 1890 in consequence of the Jew
batting permitted. il not encouraged. by his
present Russian majesty 5 father.
How to get this memorial presented to
Alexander III was the chief difficulty. Sir
Robert Morier, British ambassador. polite
ly declined. as the representative OF the
queen, to act as the instrument OF a Guild
hall committee. Then the lord mayor SIM
ply committed the document to the post,
and in due time 1t reached st. Petersburg.
But the car disdaining even to open such
a communication. handed it to NJ. de Giers.
who sent it to the Russian ambassador In
London, who passed it on to Lord Sails
bury who gave it to Sir Philip Currie. who
returned it to the lord mayor. Thus tho
incident ended.

1t Mas the Same Bunch.

Dan Hart, the playwright, was ir
Pittston a few evening ago during the
production of one of his plays for the
benefit of the local fire company. AS
Mr.. Hart is a native of the n~eighboring
town of Wilkesbarre the boys deter
mined to show their appreciation OF
home talent and secured the biggest
bouquet in town for him. One of the
fremen was specially detailed to pre-
sent 1t to the young playwright at the
moment of inspiration. Unfortunately
the guardian OF the floral tribute" fell
asleep and was in that happy condition
when MIR. Hart was called before the
curtain. The stage manager came to
the rescue, however, and presented the
bouquet amid great applause.
Mr.. Hart had a funny story 20 tell.
and. laying the bouquet on a little
stand in the wings, stepped down to the
f~ootlights to deliver the yarn to the
best advantage.
1t was at this juncture that the "spe-
c1al committee of one on flowers woke
up. Catching a glimpse of the bouquet
he sprang to his feet, and before any
one could stop him, darted forward and
presented 1t once more to the aston
ished playwright, While the audience
roared with delight.
Mr.. Hart paused a moment as he re-
garded the reman and the bouquet
with slightly embarrassed feelings.
recovering himself, said with .
smile:
Il am doubly grateful for this re-
neWed evidence. of regard. I shall cher
ish this bouquet, and the other one, as
fragrant mementos of my visit to
P~ittston."

the gallery. There amt no other. It's
