"HOme Folks"

1t more and more appears that what the
social world needs is a renaissance of SIM
plicity and genuineness.
'The other day l went to make a call on
a nice little woman I know" said a middle
aged lady who had no nonsense about her."
land the nice little woman came to the
door herself She seized me by both hands
and fairly pulled me into her house.
DO sit down. she said, pushing me into
the easiest chair in her delightful little
parlor, and stay long, long time. I'm
fairly crazy to see some home-folks.' .
Home-folks,' l repeated, a little swept
off my feet by her enthusiastic reception
of me.
YES she reiterated, 'home-folks, folks
that have got sense. good everyday old
fashioned common sense; it's the choicest
thing on earth
4 must explain myself the nice little
woman went on. I've just had an all-day
visit from an old school friend. You know
how painfully far apart from old school
friends we can get, now and then. This
girl was q sort of simpletoE in school, but
you know how we can't help liking even
simpletons who seem to like US, and 1 must
say that Adele was one of my truly de-
voted friends. Well, Adele got married and
she still stayed a simpleton. Now she has
just returned from a long absence abroad,
and she has come back, L grieve to say, an
aggravated simpeton, and of a most exas-
perating kind.
I've liked silk petticoats until Adele
came but, oh dear, now detest them. Adele
rustled so that our little dog barked after
her and the cat got up and went out of the
hot of
stiff with rings, diamonds emeralds, opals,
pearls; actually she couldn't bend her
fingers. And her talk: well. clothes and brio
a-brac and bric-a-brac and clothes, and the
prices of all the elegant things she bought
abroad; how much they spent on the trip,
how much Edgar makes every year, how
exclusive they have become, how elegant
their now house is to be, and so on, and so
on, backward and forward.
When Adele went away, little while
ago. concluded the nice little woman, she
left me that thing there on the table Yes,
after all her talk about artistic bric-a-braa
she gave me that little thirty-nine cent
glass vase-a vase she bought in New York
for her cook / know, and was ashamed or
afraid to give her-SO she gave it to me- Oh,
if you could have seen Adele roll her eyes
around and hear her tell me had quite q
pretty little house." Ii was almost unbear-
able Now don't tell me that this is sheer
meanness or envy on my part. it is not, pos
itively it is not. 1t is my souls protest
against ignorant use of money, airs, pre-
tension, pride of wealth. the superiority OF
inferiority, and all that sort of thing
That's why ] was so overjoyed to see you,
because you are 'home-folks,' the best kind
the real right sort as Henry James SAYS
land just look at this shameful little
old glass thing Adele gave me; it is one OF
the kind of vases somebody has called
keepsake grimcracks' or prizes for the
blind"

1.-THE Little Church Around the Corner"
a melodrama new to this city, was given
yesterday afternoon and evening at the
Park, and was greeted by characteristic au-
diences that seemed TO thoroughly enjoy the
play. The famous little vine-covered house
of worship on Twenty-ninth street, New
York city. has little to do with the piece,
figuring in it only in a scenic way. The
church is reproduced quite faithfully in
the last act, the setting being remarkably
effective and bringing forth EXPLANATIONS
of pleasure from those in the audience who
have learned to love the picturesque little
structure and applause from those among
the spectators who, although not familiar
with the church and its surroundings, are
appreciative of clever stage views.
The plot of the play is formed by the
attempts of Philip Vinton a New York
lawyer, to gain possession OF an alleged
heireSs. He learns by chance that the heir
ess in question is Agnes Gray, young mar
ried woman in his employ, with whom he
is in love and whose husband, Harry Gray,
being fond Of drink Is fast going s
yer, taking advantage of this mans inca
pacity. succeeds in having him confined in
an insane asylum, then kidnaps the little
daughter of the young husband and wife,
and drives Agnes Gray by his threats and
prosecutions, into hiding and poverty. He
commits all of these raScally deeds because
of the fact that the woman refuses to listen
TO his love-making. This precious scoundrel
exercises his wits to gain possession of the
womanS wealth. but his plans miScarry and
he is finally brought to justice while hus-
band and wife are united, the young man
having reformed after being set free from
the insane asylum. OF course they get
their child back again and all ends happily,
while the villain is left to grind his teeth
in rage.
1t is a play of the ''fireside companion"
school, and may be seen, but it is all harm
less enough, goodness knows, and it serves
to hold the popular-price crowds very much
interested from beginning to end. Harold
Cahill Philip Vinton, makes a plausible
villain, and J. II. Lewis is good in the role
of Judge Dillon. AL G.. Swenson in the char
acter of Harry Gray, lie Roy Sumner as
Jimsey Warren, Peter Wilson as Mr.. At
WELL and George +. Hernandez as Barney
O'Toole, give creditable representations
Ruth Macauley does really good work as
the heroine Agnes Gray, and linda Palmer
is clever in the part of Mrs. LIE Estrange
The other feminine parts are we'll played
| by Cora Ardell and Geraldine Trip.
THE Little Church Around the Corner
will continue at the Park through to-day
and tomorrow and will undoubtedly prove
a good drawing card. 1t will be followed
Thursday by the comedy-drama, "Only a
| ShOD Girl"

STRIKE MANAGER DWYER
ORDERED OUT OF CITY
Police Officers of Kansas City Es-
corted Him to Depot and Told
Him to Leave.
NO VIOLENCE REPORTED

KANSAS CITY, No, Feb. S.-First Vice
President Dwyer, of the International
Brotherhood of Transfers, who came here
from the East on Saturday night to direct
the local strike of carriage drivers, was
ordered from the city to-day b. the police.
The officers escorted Dwyer to the depot
and told him If he failed to take the next
outbound train, he would be arrested.
Before boarding train Mr.. Dwyer said:
1.-THE chief of police has the long end Of
it. perhaps, but there will be trouble in
this town as soon as the men learn that 1
have been driven out of it." He added:
THE strike will go on just the same.
am leaving two good men to take care of
it,"
While no violence was committed to-day
by the strikers, a nonunion driver was
forced to desert his carriage, and his pas
senger, a woman on the way TO the depot,
was, compelled TO alight and continue her
trip on foot John Bartlett, another non
union driver, refused 10 leave his car
riage when threatened by a number of
strikers and drawing a revolver said he
would kill the first man who touched him.
So many of the strikers gathered finally,
however, that Bartlett turned his vehicle
into the barn. The chief OF police has given
strict instructions against violence. Two
hundred drivers are out.

Meditations of "A spinster.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
When a woman ouarrels with a man and
bids him an eternal farewell. it is with a
sneaking hope that he will come back and
find her weeping and kiss away her tears.
Letters are the most Enthusiastically of
all messengers.
The popular girl is not the one who gets
married first.
High breeding never shows more plainly
than in the way a woman receives COM
pliments.
Stupid women have their uses-they cause
the bright ones to stand out in bold relief
a sentimental womans conscience has To
work overtime.
The flirtatious mans wife feels that she
has good margin to play on.
Few women really sin and dread the con-
sequences But all women commit follies
and quake for fear of discovery.
The way TO successfully resist an impulse
Is TO delay its execution for twenty four
hours.
