Rev. Mr.. Brndy,s Case.

Considerable surprise was manifested
in church circles in Philadelphia recently
when the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady,
the preacheI-author offered his resigna.
ton as rector of the Memorial Church of
st. Paul at Overbrook. His salary as 4
preacher was $1,000 a year. He did not
feel that this was sufficient to support
him, and he had not the strength TO be at
once a minister and an author. The
Senior member Of a prominent Philadel
phia publishing house. sIsaking on this
point. said: You see, from Mr.. Brady's
case, that writers are not so badly paid
as some suppose. Mr.. Brady is not
great writer, but is fairly popular. and it
IS evident that literature brings him in a
good deal Of money He will make from
now on, l have been told. at least $1,000
a year. OF course there are many writ
ers making more than thar. but il is CON
siderably mere than Mr. Brady's salary
as a minister"

When johnny Comes Marching Home

When Johnny Comes Marching
Home is stirring military play
set to beautiful musIc.in which pa
triotism is the keynote. It is full
of sparkling numbers that appeal
alike to the musician and the "man
i'll the street. MY Own United
States, Just Marry the Girl and
be Merry" ," Good Bye Yankees, 8"
My Honeysuckle Girl, and
Years Touch Not the Heart, are
a few of the gems that have become
most popular during the long run
that the ope-a is now having at the
big New York Theatre, n. y. But
the most brilliant number of this
military opera is Katie, Ny South
ern Rose, sung by Johnny" and
his sweetheart Kate Pemberton,
with a full chorus. It receives six
and eight encores at every pcrfor-
nance. One hears IL whistled and
sung everywhere, while every hotel
orchestra plays it half a dozen times
a week. The music Of "When
Johuny Cones Marching Home,
is cf high order, mt ch m )re mus
cicianly than what is usually fourd
il contemporaneous light opera or
musical comedy of the present day,
and it appeals to varied tastes-to
the lovers of sentimental or merry
strains. Of the book it is sufficient
to say that it is strong and interest
ing, with none of the latter dav
gags or comedians who do knock
about turns or anything else that
oTends the ears or the eyes. 1t is
the old, old story of the Southern
girls who fall III love with the bo,s
in blue and vice versa. The seen
cry is said to be exceptionally good
and elaborate, i'll fact two scenes
are spectacular in the extreme. The
large chorus is made up of girls
who are pretty the tableaux are in
spiriting and the boys in blue sing
with enthusiasm and in tune, and
the opera is American to the back
bone. After the New York rua of
the piece, a brief supplementary
late spring tour of some Of the
cities will be made. aud tn
Whitney Opera company will prob
ably be seen i'll this place.

The Pool of siIonm.

For over ten years the pool of Sloan
has been only name. Visitors to Pales-
tine who have visited this famous spot Of
late years have found that its healing
waters have vanished This was great
blow TO the inhabitants, but just recently
the waters of Sloan have been made to
flow once again. and there has been great
rejoicing in the Holy Land. 1t appears
that Jerusaicm has been especially short
Of water of late, and it occurred to some
Of the inhabitants of Sloan to try and
find ont whether the spring which used
TO supply the pool was really dry. Tons
of accumulated rubbish was cleared
away, and after about a months work
the spring was found. The excavators
discovered behind some fallen rocks an
old aqucdUct running away into the val
ley of the Kedron, and into this aque-
duct the beautiful, cool. clear water had
run and been wasting for years.-Sunday

To Clean Furs.

70 clean fnrs there are two ways rec
ommended One is by rubbing into the
Iur mahogany sawdust that has been
hrst wet in benZine or gasoline: the other
IS by rubbing with hot sand. Either win
accomplish the result Furriers use what
IS called ''veneering sawdust." L, is pro
duced by cutting across the grain and is
somewhat sandlike in texture. It will not
stick to the fur like ordinary sawdust. 1t
can be procured at hardwood lumber
mills or from furriers. When sand is
used. it is the clean yellow kind free
from dust. 1t should be heated in an
oven to temperature that can be borne
by the hand Greater heat might injurc
the fur. After cleaning the furs should
be beaten with rattan beater and aired,

Grand Dpern Is"nse.

At the Grand opeera house tonight and sor two nights and Wednesday matinee, the attraction will be ". M. Taylor's fine production of Will c. Murphy's dramatic sermon Why Wo- men Sin" Tn announcing the appear- anee of this sterling attraction, which was well received here last season, the management of the Grand has no hesi- tency in recommending it to its pat rons as one of the prettiest and purest plays ever written--a drama which will appear to every true father, mother,sis- ter and sweetheart of the great theat- ricaI going public. Why Women Sin" is one of the great, big, solid, substan- tial successes of the day, for the simple reason that it is a great moral sermon, so invested with inherent dramatic in- terest that the auditor does not know he or she is being preached to.
 It abounds in sensational features, and at the same time logically accu- rate, and the vast audiences which wit ness this great melodramatic success are held spellbound from start to finish. The management. without any brass band announcement, says that the pro- duction is a beautiful one and that the scenery and effects are such as will please everyone In the company are such well known artists as Miss Lillian Hall Emery. Frank Holland, Miss Flor ence Ashbrooke, Walter Paw, Miron Leffingwell, Paul Burns, George Bells, Mino Reynolds, Carrie Eckert and Lit tie Muriel.
 It is only necessary to announce that "The Fatal Wedding will be the att traction at the Grand opera house on Thursday. Friday and Saturday, 27. 2S and 29, to insure capacity business. The play has been translated into French and German. and is being performed across the water to capacity business. Aside from the novel plot and pretty story evolved by the author. Sullivan, Harris & Woods, under whose manage ment the production is made, prom ises a. superb scenic equipment and a strong cast. There will be a matinee Saturday.

EXAMINED THE BRIDGE.

Committee on Railroads and Bridges of
 the Board of Aldermen Visit the
 Tomlinson Structure.
 The committee on railroads and bridges from the board of aldermen wis., ited the Tomlinson bridge Saturday af- ternoon. The committee was accompan- jed by City Engineer Kelly and Assist ant City Clerk Moran.
 The inspection was made for the pur- pose Of finding out whether the west end Of the structure was sufficiently strong to warrant the committee in granting the request of the Manufactur- ers' Street Railway company to run their freight cars over the bridge to connect with the trackks of the New York. New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company.
 The west end of the bridge which ad- joins the draw was found in a very poor condition and in the opinion of all who made the inspection 1t would have to be strengthened immediately wheth- CT the petition was granted or not.
 The drawbridge was then inspected and 1t was found that here also num- Der of repairs were necessary. as we'll as the entire iron work was badly in need of repainting. The rust Is eating the iron work and unless it is stopped the structure will be greatly damaged
 Alter the inspection the committee seemed to be in favor of granting the railway company's request, but nothing can be done until the city makes the re- pairs which are necessary.
