BITS OF STAGE LORE.

From the Chicago Record-Herald:
David Garrick, the greatest actor
of the eighteenth century, never re-
ceived more than ESQ night: John
Keene never more than e3 IS Sd in 1914,
and not until 1920 did he get $40 for six
nights performance. Mrs. Glover never
got more than 6 1875 I'D a. week.
When Catherine Gabrelli demanded
500 ducats yearly for singing at the I'm
perial theater, ST Petersburg, this took
the czarina's breath away.
II only pay my; field marshals at that
rate" said Catherine. -. sss=
Every well,' replied Gabrelli. our
majesty had better make your fieuld
marshals sing" f.:'.
1t is curious fact that in the old
days of the English stage newspapers
regarded the honor printing theatrical
announcements as sufficient reward, and
in the early part Of the eighteenth Gen.
fury proprietors= forbade journals insert
ing their advertisements gratuitous1y.
John Dryden was the first dramatic
author to furnish programmes Garrick
first provided footlights. 1t speaks well
for the morality Of the English stage
that there is only one exception: to the
statement that no HEnglish actor ever
suffered death aon. the scanold. In
France the.revolution was responsible
for clearing the stageof a. goodly num-
Der of actors. * Z -. =. : =.

AMERICAN DRUMS EXCEL.
rom the Philadelphia Press:


With the stirring rattle of the drums,
the parade passed down the street and
the casual observer said to his friend:
Ever know that Americans were the
greatest drum makers: in the world I?
Fact. Not only do they make the most
drums, but they make the finest drums,
too. And there's a great deal more to
the manufacture of drum than YOU
would think. OF course the cheap var
lety doesn't amount to anything.
They're simply toys. There is just as
much difference in drums as in any
other musical instrument, though most
people wouldn't think so. The drums
required i'll orchestra and band work
have certain sharpness of tone. while
those used in corps and military work
must have duller tone and the drum
must not be SO sensitive to the touch.
"And how many parts do you think
well made drum consists Of? Wrong.
1t has 248 pieces, not including sticks,
hooks and belt. Everything must be of
first quality, too, for a drum must have
tone first Of all, and it must be con-
structed to withstand rough usage.
Great business is drum making, and in
teresting, too" :"

The Death Of the Factory Girl.

To the forman of the mill.

On a blanket soiled and torn,
Lay this work-worn child of sorrow,
Eight sad years since she was born.

And her eyes grew wide with fear,

!VHr t11e4 NI1t111edpU11s, In1es:
When Jane Adams of Hull House
makes statement relating to socia-

and deals with things as they are:
hence her declara ton that child labor
is pauperizing institution and that
it makes tramps, deserves to be list
ened to with attention and considered
with thoughtfulness. In regard to the
pauperizing tendency she cites all in
stance of a man whose twelve-year-old
daughter has just died. He said: She
was my oldest kid. In two years she
could. have supported me, and now I
shall have to work five or six wears till
