PLAY AND PIE
Both Good. but II Isn't Wise TO Make
q Meal Of Either

or course all this is going to take so
much time and thought that you won't
have very wide margin left for golf
especially in the afternoons. | simply
mention this in passing, because | see
in the Chicago papers which have been
sent me that you were among the play
ers on the links one afternoon fort
night ago. Colts a nice, foolish game
and there amt any harm in it so far as
| know except for the balls-the stiff
balls at the beginning, the lost balls in
the middle and the highballs at the end
of the game. But a young fellow who
wants to be boss butcher hasn't
much daylight to waste on any kind of
links except sausage links.
OF course a man should have a GER
tain amount of play, just as boy is
entitled to piece of pie at the end of
his dinner, but he don't want to make
meal of it. Any one who lets sinkers
take the place of bread and meat gets
bilious pretty young, and these fellows
who haven't any job except to blow the
old mans dollars are good deal like
the little niggers in the pie eating con-
test at the county fair-they've a-plen-
ty of pastry and they're attracting a
heap Of attention, but they've got

the then comparatively unimportant
Office which has since grown to great
proportions.
When Mr.. Machen took charge of the
division the office force consisted of fif-
teen people. Now it numbers 26S,
with special agents and others on the
road that bring the total number up to
$50. For rural free delivery there are
now eight division headquarters, and
another will be established by July J..
These headquarters are in New York.
Philadelphia, Nashville, Marietta, o.;
Indianapolis, st. Louis, Denver and
San Francisco.
Six years ago there were but forty
four rural letter carriers in the service
of the United States government. By
the 1st of July the number will reach
1880, and 10000 more carriers will
be added to that force during the next
fiscal year by reason of the appropria-
tions made by the last congress. Ten
years ago there were 1l,625 city letter
carriers. By next July the number
will be approximately 19,500. The rev.
enue of post offices in cities with free
delivery was $4S,000,00O annually a
decade ago. Now it is $96,O00,000.
The first rural delivery route was es-
tablished by Postmaster General John
Wanamaker at Charleston, w. Va, on
Oct. /, 1891. Mr. Machen has super
intended the project now grown to such
magnitude during nearly the entire Pc
riod of its development

THE PRESS AROUSED
WHY THE PENNSYLVANIA EDITORS

Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker.
who has aroused the universal indig-
nation of the press of the keystone
State by signing the stringent libel
law recently passed by the Legislature,
has been criticised unsparingly by the
editors for his attempt at press muz-
zling," as they term the new law.
The law provides that civil actions
may he brought TO recover damages
resulting from negligence on the part
of the owner, proprietor or managing
editor of a newspaper in the ascertain
ment of facts and in making publica-
tions affecting the character, rcputa-
ton or business of citizens. II is fur
ther provided that If il shall be shown
that the publication complained of re-
suited from negligence on the part of
such owner, proprietor, manager or ed
itor in the ascertainment of the facts
or in the publication thereof compen-
satOry damages may be recovered for
injuries to business and reputation re-
sulting from such publication as well
as damages for the physical and men
tai suffering endured by the injured
party or parties, and whenever in any
such action it shall be shown that the
matter complained of is libelous and
that such libelous matter has been Civ

pictures, cartoons, headlines, displayed
type or any other matter calculated to
specially attract attention the jury
shall have the right to award punitive
damages against the defendant or de-

In the statement issued by Governor

giving his reasons for signing it he
cited the publication of n cartoon in a
recent issue of a Philadelphia newspa-

factory; but, still holding to the possi-
bilities of the play, he offered it to Dion
Boucicault as theme on his arrival in
in London in 1865. Boucicault rewrote
the drama, and it has not been greatly
changed since. Its first appearance was
at the Adelphi theater, London, in Sep
tember, 1865. The play ran 10 nights.
After his London engagement he act
ed at Manchester and Liverpool and
then sailed for New York. RIP Van
Wrinkle" was produced for the first
time in America in Boucicaults ver-
sion at the Olympic theater, New York,
Sept. 3, 1866.
1t is stated that Boucicault received
in purchase money and royalties for his
work on the play about $4,000. AS
Mr.. Jefferson has always appeared in
old plays, this is the only money that
he has been called upon to pay out in
royalties. Mr.. Jefferson has never been
patron Of the American playwright,
sticking to his old plays, and for this
has been criticised in some quarters for
not lending more of his great influence
to the advancement of American dra-
matte art
Mr.. jefferson relates, with great glee,
the following story: He had been in
vited to the village of Catskill to act
the character of Rip Van Wrinkle. 81
was taking a cup of tea in the hotel"
said Mr.. Jefferson, "when l was at
tracted to the colored waiter, who was
giving a graphic account Of the legend
of the Catskill mountains to a guest.
"'Yes, sah,' said the waiter; Rip
went up into the mountains, slept for
twenty years, and when he came back
here in dis berry town his own folks
didn't know him.
"'Why,' said the listener, you don't
believe the storys trueY
"True! Oh co'se it's true. Why
pointing to me. dat's de man."
Joseph jefferson is a native of Phila-
delphia and was the third of the name
coming from a race of actors. Joseph
Jefferson the first was himself the son
of an eminent English actor and man.
ager He came to this country and
made his first appearance in New York
His son. the father Of the creator Of
Rip Van Wrinkle, was also named Jo-
seph and was scene painter as well
as actor and manager.

the offender would have been drawn
and quartered and his head stuck on
pole without the gates. In America
this is the kind of arrogance that
'goeth before a fall"
The newspapers have announced
their determination to continue on ex-
actly the same lines hitherto followed,
ignoring the existence of the new law.
1t is the intention of the papers to
force a test case at once and-sarry the
constitutionality of the act to the su-
preme court.
Governor Pennypacker is man Of
peculiar characteristics. Much of his
spare time has been given to the study
of the history of Pennsylvania, but it
Is mistake to assume that his la
boriOus researches into colonial or Rev
olutionary history have prevented him
from taking an active interest in cur
rent affairs.
His energy and capacity for work
are remarkable. He exhibits in his
heavy frame and great muscular de-
velopment some of the characteristics
of his Dutch ancestry. He was born
in PheniXville and even as boy turn
ed his attention to the colonial history
Of his state. Additional zest was Civ
en- to his researches by the fact that
his own people were active in the civil
and military events that built up the
,4n 10 1fx l, f<.I l,n t.
ernOr.
Fourteen years ago he was appoint
ed by Governor Beaver to be judge of
the court of common pleas and was
subsequently elected to that Office for
term of ten years and reelected for
another term.
Governor Pennypacker has wife
and four children. His son was grad
uated year or so ago from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. The govern
or was himself graduated from this in
stituticn in 1866.
BY his act in putting the new libel
law of Pennsylvania into effect Gov
ernor Pennypacker has antagonized the
press of the state. What influence II
will have on his political future is prob
lematical Judging from the senti-
ments expressed by the editors, he has
little hope for further preferment, but
time alone can demonstrate to what ex-
tent the opposition of the newspapers
will affect him. He is cousin of Sena-
tor Matthew s. Quay and is about sixty
years old.

His Antlered Escort In the Park.
Above him the wild skies bending,
Beneath him the wastes of snow,
Through the hush OF the forest vending
And over the bleak plateau
He rode with his strong heart glowing,
In a cline of old held dear
And the winds of the west were blowing
With the music he loves to hear.
Beside him, with clanking saber,
The brown checked trooper rode
Yet he passed, as friend and neighbor,
Where the things of the wild abode,
Where the things that people the places
OF mountain and hill and fen
Were waiting, with kindly faces,
To welcome the chief of men.
And so that they, too, might render
Their tribute Of love to him,
Forth, then, in their strength and splen-
dor
From the forests dark and dim
From the wastes and the gushing foun-
tains
Like leaping wave Of fame
The antlered kings Of the mountains
In royal escort came.
Down through the wild wastes riding,
They followed him over the snow,
By the peaks in the cloud mists hiding
And down to the broad plateau,
And never, in song or story,
In tourney or feast or fray,
Rode king or khan in his glory
AS this man rode that day.

winkIe"-More Than Seventy Years
Have Elapsed Since lie First APP
peared on the Stage.
Joseph jefferson. dean of the theat-
rical profession, who has been con-
nected with the stage longer than the
allotted span Of man on earth, is again
in harness and is now playing in his
sixty-first consecutive year as an actor
and the thirty-eighth season in which
he has enacted the role of Rip Van
Wrinkle.
Over seventy years have rolled by
since jefferson first appeared on the
stage When living in the city of
Washington the house in which his
father resided adjoined the theater
which he managed, and the boy had
the run of the establishment. As an
infant he was frequently taken upon
the stage when child was required.
his first public appearance of this
character having been in "Rolla." He
was then about three years old.
About this time I. ID. Rice. the cele-
brated Jim Crow, had burst upon
Washington in his impersonations of
negro character, then an entire nov
city on the stage. Little Joseph JEFF
ferson was greatly taken with this per-
formance and initiated Rice with such
success that the comedian took him
upon the stage. blacked and dressed
as miniature likeness of himself,
producing him before the eyes of the
astonished audience from the mouth
OF bag turned upside down.
Mr.. Jefferson's account of the way
in which he happened TO hit upon the
play rip Van Winkle' is interesting
While reading Washington Irving's
Life and Letters" he came across a
passage in which the distinguished au-
thor mentioned that he had seen JEFF
ferson at Laura Keenes theater. New
York, as Goldfinch in THE Road to
Ruin" and said complimentary things
about him. Thinking of the honor
conferred, the story of RIP Van Win
kle' occurred to him. 1t had already
been dramatized and acted, but with
out any success.
Mr.. jefferson got together the various
dramatiZations and out of them con-
cocted a play which was produced in
Washington. The result was not salts
