caused strike at the rehearsal of the play at
the Madison Square Theatre yesterday. Moses
Fairfax, colored stage driver. had been en-
gagged to take the part of negro stage driver

had never yet acted with colored performers

with Fairfax. Edwin Milton Royle author Of
the play, argued in vain with the rebeIlious

A ManiNC's Poem.

proba bly, the mass Of prison poetry
which has been written OF stools and
bedposts and scratched Oh prison walls
far exceeds that which has found ex-
preston on paper, and many mute
inglorious Milton" has begun and fin
ished his poetical career with these
''lost to sight productions.
There is in existence a short poem,
said to have been scratched by a
maniac on the wall of his cell. which
runs thus:
Could I with ink the ocean FILL
Were all the world of parchment made
Were every reed on earth quill
And every man scribe by trade,
To write the love of God alone
Would drain that ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
The authenticity Of this being the
work of a maniac has often been ques-
toned because of the beauty of it's ex-
preston and it's sound reason, but the
story stands.-All the Year Round.

King Robert the Bruce, according to
the we'll known story, once owed his
safety to a spider. Among the Tar
tars Of central Asia there is a belief
that one of their khans or chiefs was
preserved, long years ago, by the great
horned owl He had hidden in
thicket to avoid capture by some enc
mics. By and by his pursuers came to
this spot.
The first thing they saw was an owl
sitting or q bush. What did this mean?
1t signified in their eyes that this bird
would not rest quietly there if any man,
were lying concealed close by There
fore they argued that the khan could
not be there. and so they hurried on
to search for him elsewhere. At night
fall the khan made his way to the
camp of his men and told them how
he had been saved from certain death
His story caused them ever afterward
to look upon the owl with reverence
and love. They wore it's feathers in
their caps as a pledge of victory.
