THE AUDIENCE WELL PLEASED.


Theatre Here.
Although Saturday night is not
propitious season for Americas play
goers quite large and most appre-
ciaiive audience greeted Mr.. Tim MUIR
ply and fine company at the opera
house last night. 1t was the first ap
pearance of that eminent actor here,
and with such play as "OId Inno-
cence' he was we'll calculated to make
hit. It is pretty comedy, replete
with wholesome sentiment aud light,
qaiet hnmor that caught the audience
from the beginning. Mr.. Murphy is
not unlike Sol Smith Russell in many
respect, and is himself an exponent of
refined pastoral comedy. Miss Doro-
thy Sherrod, beautiful and charming
withal, won many hearts as did others
of the company, Miss Whitfield,
Messrs. Armstrong, Powell and Griffin.

astonishing of the manias that Prof.
d 'Hampo1 tells about. This disease"
he says, lis evidenced in the case of
persons who, upon hearing the most
trivial matter, contract their brows
and wrinkle their foreheads as if they
had heard absolutely overwhelming
news. People contained in this class
are generally very obtuse, the muscu-
lar effort being partly the result of an
attempt on their part to fully grasp
the purport of the conversation, even
though this purport may have the SIM
plest meaning. If one says to a syn

Immediately his forehead becomes
crossed with great wrinkles, his brow
contracts, and he rep1ies-frequentlya c-

This is sufficient to show what an

French professor has opened up, and
also to convince those who agree with
him that habits are manias that there
is a lot of maniacs to be met with
on the streets any day.

Pawning bY Messenger.

"a man whom knew to be connected
with the races, some way or another,
came in here on Tuesday forenoon
last" said the manager of a district
messenger office on the avenue, ac-
cording to the Washington Post, land,
showing me a couple of magnificent
diamond rings and valuable scarfpin,
handed them over to me saying:
Chase one of your kids UP to
Blanks. mentioning a well-known
pawnshop few squares away, and
have him get a thousand for me on
this stuff; and he scrubbed a note to
the pawnbroker, identifying himself
as the owner of the jewelry, so that the
boy would have no trouble in pawning
the stuff.
Now, thought that it was rather
queer that this man, so plainly a sport
ing man, and therefore necessarily fa-
miliar with pawnshops, didn't feel like
taking these things to his uncle's him
self, and 1 suppose he observed the
puzzled expression on my face.
" Wondering why I'm not doing my
own hooking, eh?' said he, smiling at
my Rystified look. We'll. I'll let you in
on why I'm not doing that to-day.
" I'm making book at the track just
now, and the boys handed me several
hard wallops yesterday, making it nee
essary for me to put a patch or two in
my bank roll that I've got here in
Washington with me. Well, they all
know me, and there are more rubber

that word got around, I'd lose a lot of
good play from fellows that 'ud con-
slider me in walbbly financial state,

thousand and the ticket a while later,
and on the next evening the racing

A NAVAL GENERAL STAFF.

Next August the law providing
a general staff for the army, will go
into effect. Before that time the
President will nominate a Chief of
Staff, who will be the principal con-
sulting officer of the Secretary of
War, and the other places under the
new law will be filed 1t is predicted
that the new organization will make
the army more effective than ever be-
fore; and not only that, but 1t will do
away with much of the pickering, fac
tionalism and heart-soreness that have
characterized the old plan of organiza-
ton.
Now it is being proposed that Con-
gress, at it's next session, shall provide
a general staff for the navy and it is
understood that the project has the
qualified Endorsement of the Secretary
of the Navy. Much friction was oc-
casioned in the army because of the
excessive power welded by the Ad-
jutant General; and so it is in the
navy, because of the great power of
the Chief of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton. This latter official has been
called a chief of staff with no staff
behind him. In addition to his rou-
tine work he aids in the assignment Of
commissioned officers, supervises the
education of midshipmen maps out
war college" courses, furnishes newly
commissioned ships with crews, mobil-
ICES and distributes squadrons and
fleets, keeps records of drills, super
vises the equipment of the navy in both
war and peace, etc. In short, he is
practically the whole thing in so far
as the management of the naval estab-
lishment is concerned, and is charged
with more duties than one or half
dozen men could give personal atten-
ton to and perform satisfactorily. I'm
der the proposed change to the general
staff organization, details of the serv-
ice would be divided into groups, each
group being under the supervision of
a competent head. The Chief of staff
would be the principal adviser of the
Secretary of the Navy, but in that ca
pacity he would be the representative
and mouthpiece of a board of num-
Der of officers, not merely a representa-
tive of his own private opinion and
preferences or prejudices.
For some years the navy has been
hampered with cliques and cabals, and
there has been a controversy between
line and staff. The late Sampson
Schley matter was an illustration of
the effects of the divisions. If the gen.
eral staff proposition will obviate the
possibility of a repetition of that I'M
pleasant controversy, it is a good thing
and ought to be adopted.

Writing of the severe training to
which the present King of Italy has
been subjected by his tutors, a con-
tributor to M. A. p, says:
This little prince was put upder a
military tutor, Col. Oslo, slept in a
cold room, took a cold plunge-bath
every morning whether i'll or we'll (and
it was usually the former; had his
breakfast by gaslight at 7, if there
was time, but if he was late he went
without; began lessons at 1880, being
made to devote himself to those he
particularly disliked, and was after
wards sent for a ride. rain or shine.
Often and often he returned to the
palace soaked through, but no matter
how violent the subsequent cold might
be, the daily programme was not re-
Taxed.
"And in the same spirit everything
was done by this stern tutor to destroy
any of the false pride of station.
Here. for instance, was how Col Oslo
treated the autograph 1end when he
prosecuted his pupil A well known
public man had applied to the young
prince for his signature.
The prince, without a trace of self
conceit, set down to comply, when his
tutor said: What rubbish! He wants
the autograph of a schoolboy who
does not yet write decently. 1t is inn
possible. He must be crazyr and the
autograph was not written.
Here is another story-which shows
how, now and then, the young lad
was stirred to revolt
1.-THE prince had made a remark
which his tutor chose to consider
stupid, so he looked at him and said /.
Among donkeys there is no pedigree.
If were king you should wear a fool
cap IF I were king, was the answer,
you should be knight of the Order
of Politeness!'
THE sequel of the story is agree
able. Col Oslo had one joint in his
strong armor; he was supposed to
have strong desire for title. The
prince, becoming king, has forgotten
his wrongs. real and fancied, and Col
Oslo is now Count Oslo.

CURRENT COMMENT.

opportunities for good are wonderful,
but it will soon be time for the Tuske-
gee graduate to be making his mark.
Practical results are now in demand"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Ond.) says: German state ownership
will soon doubtless be extended over
the coal mines of the empire. The
Rhenish- Westphalian coal syndicate
has just completed the purchase of all
available coal properties of the Rhine
region and beyond, and is now in a
position to squeeze the imperial gov
eminent itself, as in the purchase of
fuel for the state railways. Accord
ing to Berlin letter to theANews York

being viewed with apprehension by the
government, in common with all other
consumers of coal.

Dem says: "Mr. Olney would make
a capital President, but he is from a
state that under no circumstances
would cast its vote for him, and this
factor initiates against his availability
as candidate. Mr.. ingalls, is welter-
weighted with the presidency of a rail-
road and his recent defeat in Cincin-
natl. AS for Mr.. Cleveland, he is 66
years old, and we have no idea that he
would care for another nomination. His
fame is secure. and ambition could
hardly come along now and seduce
him from the paths OF ease. He will,
in our judgment, be regarded as one
of the four great Presidents by impair
tial history, and he has nothing TO gain

ARE YOU A MANAGE

Don't jump to an indignant negative
conclusion respecting the query in the
headline without giving the matter due
consideration. The word maniac" is
not intended to be taken in the sense
of meaning one who is raving mad.
AS here used it is to apply broadly to
those who have manias; and it appears
that there are more manias than were
ever dreamed of in anybody's philoso-
ply except that of Prof. d'Hampol of
Paris. Somebody has said that every
body is crazy on some subject. 1t
sounds like a wise saying, so most peo-
pie have accepted it as a philosophical
gem without questioning it. Prof.
d'Hampo1, with Enthusiastically
French genius, not only undertakes to
show that this is almost literally true
but seeks to point out the symptoms
by which individuals make known TO
the well-informed observer the partic-
ular form of mania with which they
are afflicted.
Pretty nearly all persons are addict
ed to certain habits that are called
characteristic. One person habitually
puts a finger into his mouth; another
plucks at his beard; another crosses his
legs in particular fashion and swings
the foot of the topmost leg; another
places his finger in his ear and shakes
it; another twirls his moustache; an
other rubs the side of his nose; an
other, on hearing of anything, arches
his eyebrows and wrinkles his fore
head, as if he had received most aston
ishing information. All of these things,
according to Prof. d'Hampol, indicate
manias, and the persons who are af-
fiicted with them are superior degen-
crates" The terms are not used often
sively, but merely scientifically and for
the purpose of noting a departure from
the normal.
The names given by the French pro-
fessor to some of these new manias,
which have heretofore been regarded
as merely harmless habits, are most
formidable. For instance, the person
who twirls his moustache is a victim of
istakostrepsomania." However, It
Is not dangerous anu usually QlSap-
pears with age. Its chief victims are
young men who are proud of their
moustaches and imagine themselves
handsome. "Strepsorabdomania" man
ifests itself in the whirling of umbrei-
las or canes in a reckless manner.
This is sometimes bothersome to those
with whom the afflicted person comes
in contact on the streets. "Stoma-
dactylomania" is shown by continually
placing the fingers in the mouth. Most
children are ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -
and the affection continues with a con-
siderable number of persons through
adult life. 1t is one of the bad manias
of the lessor sort, because the nails are
not always immaculate and infectious
matter may be transmitted from them
TO the respiratory or digestive organs.
'Kratopodomania" consists in the habit
Of crossing the legs and hugging the
shin. The person afflicted with this
