CELLAR LIFE OF ST. PETERSBURG The heavy floods in St. Petersburg recently drove to the surface 250,0OO people who prey upon the tolerance of householders by living in their cellars. The return to underground lodgings of the army of iil-nourished persons has added enormously to a death rate which was already much larger than that Of any other Christian capital. It is part of an unwritten code that a lady or gentlemen should not know where eel lars, garrets, laundry rooms, or ser wants quarters are, and a genuine St.. Petersburg householders never does know from one years end to another.
 Mrs. Mccormick, the wife of the American ambassador, after she and MT. Mccormick had moved Into the palace they now occupy in St. Peters burg, became conscious of singular smells. The fragrance of stale herrings onions, soapy water, boiling cabbage, penetrated to her drawing room. As a competent housekeeper, she made in quiry. No one would tell her at first, but finally the butler admitted the odors came from those who lived in the eel lars. Lived in the cellars How could 1 that be? To the horrors of the ser wants. she insisted on going to the cell lars, where she actually found sixty eight permanent dwellers. She called 1 in policeman and had them all turned out.
 Mrs. Mccormick mentioned her sin gular discovery to the Countess de Mon- 1 tebello. the wife of the then French am bassador. That is nothing" said coun- | tess. My sister and her children were coming to see me. My maid said: " Madame. would earnestly advise you not to have the children come"
 What do you mean? Why not?' I said, children.
 TT don't mean anything, only think the children should not come. They might get ill.'
 T asked her what she meant by such nonsense and questioned her sharply. She was distressed, and only after a long time would she say, mysteriousIy:
 !" There are fifteen cases of dipheria 1 in the house.
 'I found that more than one hundred l people lived in the cellars and that as the maid had said, fifteen children had 1 the diphtheria.

lavish table provided in his country home, where eggs did not count and cream came on the table by the quart. Uncle Daniel was a healthy man with a corresponding appetite, and when he left after 10 days stay there was a de- felt of $S. He said he didn't believe in young people starting out too gay at first and was glad they were going slow on furniture. To show his appre- citation he told them something would arrive downtown the day after he left.
 It turned out to be a parlor table, which seemed to fill quarters of the room. It was an entirely dreadful table-light oak, vanished within an inch of it's life and with gingerbread curlycues, spokes and spindles forid- ly rambling around it.
 After that the Jones girls came, They always let their hostess pay their car fare, in blissful ignorance of how it amounted up. They suggested chaf- ing dish suppers of lobster and expen- sive canned things. They told Carrie she had a dear flat. They stayed three weeks and put the Wiltons $12 i'll debt. Yet Carrie almost loved them because they did not feel it necessary to buy anything for the adornment of the flat.
 A distant aunt and Toms brother al so visited them that year, and by that time there were lines on Carries brow and Tom looked serious. There was something radically wrong, but unless an epidemic swept through the ranks of their innocent relatives they could see no way out of it.. Instead of being one sweet song. life had degenerated | into perpetual class in mental arith- metic to make both ends meet. Right here fate stepped in. The fiat building burned down and Carrie had | mysteries. Tom soothingly reminded her that they were insured, but it dio not calm her. T am just crazy witl joy" she explained. That awful oil painting and Uncle Daniels table ars gone forever!"
 Then they wrote home that they had decided to board until Toms salary was raised-St Joseph (Mo) Gazette.

thought that it gave her pause for a space. But Belinda is nothing if not unterrified, so she crept noislessly to her fathers wardrobe and brought forth the hat box which contains the chapeau to his Knight Templar uniform. Belinda's fathers hat cost $65. The feather on it is enough to delight any woman.
 The more Belinda looked at it the more convinced she became that it was shame and an outrage to waste such beauty on a man. Therefore. she ran back and got her scissors and ripped ! off the plume instanter. She went down to the milliner's at once before she could feel any remorse, and it is fact that in b minutes that Knight Templar plume was on a very smart black hat, and Belinda was walking up the street under it.
 She wore it into the house and into the library, where her father was sit ting and that gentleman looked up from his paper and said: Well, my dear. you're looking very bonny with your pretty hat on."
 Belinda felt like a combination of thief and conspirator, but glance in the mirror over the mantlepiece nerved her, up again.
 You don't go to the lodge often now, do you?" she asked, apropos of noth- ing.
 sNo, I do not" replied her father, dreamily; "sort of lost interest in it, you know
 Belinda breathed more freely after this. Then she went upstairs and put her new treasure away in an immense box, and that night she slept the inno- cent sleep of the just. But she feels 1 that she is living on a volcano, and Ithat some of these day she will be pre- cipated without warning into it-Ex- change.

BELINDA'S PLUME.

A story is told of a girl named Belin- da who aspired to an ostrich feather for her picture hat. She spent great deal of time pricing feathers, but she never found one that came within the limits of her purse, for she had already bought two hats, though these were of more practical order.
 One day while Belinda was wonder ing exactly what part of her wardrobe she would have to take to the old clothes woman to sell to get the money for her feather a thought came to her. It was such q wild and untamed

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

One of the prettiest and most inter- esting plays of the season was that of last night, when Charles Frohman pre- scented Miss Virginia Harmed in the new play 'gThe Light That Lies in Womans S l. Eyes at the Hyperion. The audience comfortably filled the auditorium, and there was an unnistakable demonstra- tion of approval at the close of both the first and second acts and especially af- ter the latter when Miss Harmed was called before the curtain several times The piece is by E. Fl. Sothern, the husband of Miss Harmed and is model ed on entirely new and most acceptable lines and staged in most effective T1anner. The company is wholly in keeping with the ability of the leading lady, and each member has fine oppor- tunity for displaying hts or her especial merit. The scenes are laid in and about Anne Hathaway's cottage at the home of Shakespeare, but all of the charac- ters are of the twentieth century. A strong love story forms the basis of the narration, and it is prettily and effec- lively worked up, and the conclusion is most interesting.
 The company includes William Cour- tenay, who was exceptionally good as Hector Cameron, the lover; Nam Stan ley Dark, Sumner Gard, Margaret Cor don and others.
 Miss Harmed enacts the role of Ladv Lorna Leinster, the loved, in a most be- witching and at times aggravating manner, and the character is eninently fitted to her talent.
 The Light That Lies in Wonan,s Eyes" will be repeated at the Hyperion this evening.
 Next Saturday night brings to the Hyperion popular young actor for an engagement in the ever delightful role of Lord Algernon Chetland in R. c. Cartons exquisite comedy drama .'Lord and Lady Algy,' in which he made his earliest and most nlemora b1e success at Charles Fronman's Empire tfeater The company comes here di- rect from the Criterion theater. New York, and fortnight's engagement in Boston, where MT. Faversham has been playing the most successful engage ment of his brilliant career in this breezy comedy of smart English bigh life. The production will be given in identically the same manner and with the same cast as presented it so suc- cessfully at the Criterion. The cast in the present production is an especially capable one, and the interesting story of the differences of the lord and his lady is set forth most attractively by the best organization of talented play CTS that has vet appeared in the piece Seat sale tomorrow. Prices $1.5G $1 and 75 cents.
 At the Hyperion next Tuesday night the attraction will be ''The Rogers Brothers in London,'' a vaudeville farce production made by TSlaw and Erlan- ger in which they will present the Rogers brothers for their sixth annual tour under their direction This like its five phenomenally successful prede- cessors, was written by John J. Me Nally, who has attained prominence as

As to the production itself, the names of Klaw and Erlan- ser are a guarantee that the best and most artistic that liberal expenditure could procure will be presented in the scenery and costumes. Each year since Klaw and Erlanger launched the Rogers brothers as independent stars they have given them a more elaborate and pretentious vehicle. Something bigger. better and more magnificent even than. ''The Rogers Brothers in Harvard" which made a great hit last year, may be anticipated in the new piece. Seat sale Friday. Prices $1.5O, s1 and 75 cents.

Charles E. Blaney has written many good melodramas as well as quite a few good comedies, and it is not sur- prising to note another big success from his pen. For His Brothers Crime MT. Blaney's latest dramatic offering, which is booked for an en- gagement of three nights at the Grand Opera house, beginning tomorrow night, has scored heavily since the opening performance, about a month ago, and is making all kinds of money where less pretentious productions are complaining of bad business. The real secret of this. perhaps, lies in the fact that Playwright Blaney understands what the public wants and hastens to give it to bis patrons. Montgomery Irving, the undisputed Hercules of the American stage, assisted by a strong supporting company. will present the play in this city. Two carloads of spe- cial scenery are carried for the produc- tion, besides pair of spirited race horses. which appear in the most thrill ling climax of the piece. Matinee Sat urday.

Grand Opera House.

David Higgins. the clever author and actor, appeared in his new play, "His Last Dollar" at the Grand Opera house last night. Mir Higgins has been before the theatrical public for several years, both as an actor and IS writer of American plays. The new play is decidedly American in tone and deals with the incidents arising from a rict westerner's experiences on the New York stock exchange, where he seeks to add to his fortune. The play will be presented again to-day, matinee and night.
