His Horses in Many Stables.
Haggin owns many race horses, but
colors. He runs them on shares with
numerous trainers, the most notable of
whom are Green Morris and w. B. Jen-
nlngs. Sydney Paget, the we'll known
amateur rider, also manages and races
under his own name horses in which Hag-

Flrenzi, Ben ALI Tyrant Yum Yum,
Watercolor, King Fox and Waterboy. OF
all these Ben Ali was his favorite. 1t
dearly. Ben ALI by poor riding lost
several important races which he should
have won. These occasions occasioned
the deepest disappointment that Haggin
has ever known.
3 For several years Haggin refused to
allow his horses to race over the Brooklyn
Jockey club course. There had been
trouble over some rough riding and a
close finish in which his horses figured,
and he thought that he had been harshly
treated in certain decisions. He there
fore issued an order that no horse bear
ing his colors should race over that track
again. This order was in effect for FIVE
years.
The only time that Haggin has been
known to show any feeling of interest
In the result of contest was when Sal
vator beat Tenny in a match race at
mile and a quarter over the Coney Island
Jockey clubs track. Salvador had made
all the running to the stretch, and when
Tenny challenged with that terrific squirt
for which he was famous. Down the
stretch both horses struggled. At the
end Salvador was the winner by the mar

Pretty Pillows for the
Piazza Are Easily Made

In these days when the art of being
comfortable is assiduously cultivated
and the piazza has become one of the
principal spots in the home in which
to seek comfort, the pillow assumes an
even greater prominence than it has
heretofore held.
For the piazza one wants a cushion
with a cool, smooth surface, and this
is especially to be found in the num-
berless weaves of linen which this
season has ushered in, and the soft
and lovely straw and grass cushions
sent over by the Orientals for Western
enjoyment. The latter are smooth and
springy under the head, and appear in
many shades of cream color, merging
into pale green and straw color, and in
all manner of bright plaid effects.
From the closest and finest weave OF
straw through various styles and pat
terms these pillows run the gamut of
dried grass comfort to the broadly
woven Madagascar pillows which are
so fashionable now.
Delicate Fragrance.
Besides the general effectiveness and
GOODNESS of the grass and straw pillows
and their eminent suitableness to

freshing to the senses. In the eyes Of
the housewife and the nervous one
who looks for microbes in everything
these cushions of woven grass and
straw possess another virtue, that of
being quickly and easily cleaned with
a.wet cloth.
The growing fashion for straw pill
lows has caused girls who have learned
the popular raf6a stitch to turn their
skill to account in the weaving of pill
lows of raffia fiber. There is no abate-
ment in the craze for doing raffia work
among women who love to adopt the
latest thing in fancy work.

and most fashionable idea in the pill

1.-THE TWO ORPHANS" AT THE
METROPOLITAN.

For the week beginning tonight, at
the Metropolitan. the offering of the
Ferris Stock company will be a revival
of DEnnnery's famous emotional
drama, The Two Orphans" The play
is one of the best constructed of all
melodramatic works, containing. as it
does, all the essential elements of COM
edy, pathos and tragedy.
This absorbing story deals with the
arrival in Paris of two orphan sisters,
the younger of whom, Louise, is total
w blind. The first act pictures the
Place Pont Neuf and the separation
of the sisters by the abduction of the
elder, Henriette, by the Marquis de
Presles. The younger sister, left to
shift for herself. is taken in charge by
an old beldame, La Frochard. who
compels her to earn her living by
begging in the streets. The second act
teau Bel-Air, where Henriette is res
cued from the clutches of the Marquis
de PreSles by the Chevalier de Vau-
drey. The third scene is ~ the office
of Count de Linieres. minister of police
and uncle Of the cheValier, where a
search is instituted for Henriette's sis
ter, Louise. Act ". shows the exte-
Louise, closely watched by the old
bag. Frochard, stands in the snow to
solicit aims from the paSSerS-by.
The fifth scene is in the apartments
of Henriette, where the Chevalier de
Vaudrey declares his love for Henri
cite and asks her hand in marriage.
This scene is interrupted by the Count
de Limoges, who, having other views
for the future of his nephew, causes
Henriette to be arrested and taken
away at the moment when she recog-
nizes the voice of her blind sister, Lou
Use, singing in the street below. The
sixth act is the courtyard of the
prison Salpetrierre. where number
of prisoners, Henriette among them,
are assembled. ready for deportation to
the French colonies of America. A
pardon arrives for one Marianne, girl
whom Henriette. had previously be-
friended; they exchange places and
Henriette is set free.
The last and most thrilling scene of
the play is in the home of La Fro
chard. a thieves den on the banks of
the Seine, where Louise is confined.
Henriette enters in search of Louise,
only to fall into the power of the
Frochards. Pierre Frochard. a cripple,
who loves Louise. wishes the two sis
ters released. and a terrible duel with
knives follows between the brothers,
Pierre and Jacques, which is termi-
mated by the entrance of the police,
headed by Chevalier de Vaudrey. The
wicked are punished and the play ter
inmates happily for the two orphans
The cast will include Frederick Mon
tague as the Chevalier de Vaudrey,

Presles, Charles c. Burnham as Picard,

AS TO PROPER THEATER DRESS.

William Archer. the English dra-
matte writer, is opposed to an elabo-
rate display of dress in the theater
He does not favor evening dress for
men or for women. either. and he has
published several articles in support
of his argument that it is extremely
foolish on n1a4vf ~at'''
In contrast with the habit in both
America and, France, regulation even
ing dress at the theater is the rule in
London. No one not thus attired is
permitted to occupy a stall" or Or
chestra chair, and there is a notifica-
ton to this effect on every ticket for
the highest priced seats.
Mr.. Archer, who came over to the
United States about, two years ago to
write on theatrical conditions here,
did not omit to praise the sensible
American habit of going to the theater
in ordinary dress. and he has been led
to make some further remarks On the
subject by the recent complaint of a
famous French actress that she be-
lieved the GOODNESS of English audi
ences was due to the fact that they
were in evening dress. "a mild and
modish cynicism. touched with fa
tigue, is the temper we put on with
our, white necktie""e sSys Mr.. Archer.
THE storms of life seem irrelevant,
the passions grossly excessive poverty

emotional apathy the evening dressed
audience necessarily rtends''
Mr.. Archer hits upon the whole Sc
cret of the English play goers' i'm

when he says: For a good many peo-
pie. no doubt, one attraction of the
alter going lies in the opportunity it
gives them for getting into dress
clothes and mixing with other people
in the same state of aristocratic splen-
dor. The leveling effect of the uniform

that they are sitting above the salt at

But they don't" was the Englishmen,s
rejoinder. Pardon me-" replied the At

sides they publish the fact of it in the
newspapers"

mean, retorted the Englishman.
This is what l mean, replied the
brown man. when an Englisnwoman be-
comes tired of her husband and prefers
another to him, the new one is called a

fore the cadi and after much dicussion it
is decided at what price the correspondent
shall buy the woman. The money is paid,
the price is published and then the nus
band leaves the man and the woman who
was his wife alone. An Afghan would
think it a great disgrace to take money
from the man who dishonored his wife.
