BY c. Z. LIE WIS

1t was while the brig Daisy. Captain
Josiah Barnes, master, lay at Port au
Prince. after loading up, that a red
headed girl came aboard to secure pas
sage to Boston. She had gone to the is
land from Salem two years before with
an American family as governess. but
had become tired of it and desired to
get back to the United States The wife
of Captain Barnes was aboard, and his
crew numbered seven men He had
also taken as passengers two American
sea captains whose vessels had been
shipwrecked among the West Indian
islands If it hadn't been that one Of
the captains offered to surrender his
stateroom to the redheaded girl and
sleep in the main cabin on a shake
down she could not have taken passage
by the Daisy. Indeed it was a close
shave at best. as Mrs. Barnes, who was
fat. forty and plain faced, looked her
over and said to her husband:
Josiah, she's redheaded, and that
means that she's giddy and sassy"
yes; she's got red hair replied the
captain, ''but | don't see nothin' giddy
about her. She looks as sober as any
gal with any colored hair, and that pas
sage money will come in handy for us.
She'll probably be seasick clear up to
Boston light and not eat 50 worth of
provisions
''WeIl, Well take her" said Mrs.
Barnes. with doubtful shake of the
head. "but you see if it don't result in
a tornado, waterspout or calamity of
some kind. Redheaded girls are born
to make trouble
A day later the Daisy weighed an
Choir and set out on her return voyage,
and the attitude of the redheaded girl
as she moved about was SO demure that
the captain almost felt like patting her
on the head and speaking words of
sympathy and encouragement The
brig sailed at O'Clock in the morning.
and the girl passenger did not make
her appearance at the table at noon.
Mrs. Barnes motherly heart forced her
to look into the stateroom and offer her
services, but at the same time she was
secretly glad to fad the redheaded girl
in her berth and apparently suffering
the pangs of seasickno ss.

Write Notes to Themselves.

"Actors are great hands to write
mash notes to themselves said a
stage manager. 1.-THE leading young
the beautiful girls-are supposed to at
tract to the theater myriads of young
women. They draw big pay on this
account; their friends talk seriously Of
the powerful, almost hypnotic, influ-
ences that they exert on romantic fe-
males. This power is the stock in
trade of the actor who travels on his
beauty instead of on his art, and he
must alw-.ss have tangible proof of it.
So if the young women don't come up
each mail with a bunch of authentic
mash notes. he sees to it anyway that
them so that they reach the theater
during rehearsal. The manager every
afternoon brings them to lima half
dozen pink and blue and cream en-
velopes, smelling of violet ana orris.
He takes them with guffaw, reads
them, passes them around. Every one
pretends to be amused at their silly
contents, but the minute the actors
back is turned the murmur passes back
and forth: They're fakes. He wrote
them himself. He spends two hours a
day writing himself mash notes. To
tell the truth. this actor gets a number
of Authentic mash notes. but nobody
believes it. 1t is thought that every
note is a fake. W. Washington Post.

Amuscmcnfs
Very Clever.

William II. Vests big minstrel
Jubilee proved to be true to name at
the Gennett theater last night. The
company, while not as large in num-
Der as some that have visited the
city during the season, but was much
larger than several of the "big ones =
when it came to furnishing an even
ing's entertainment Each and every
member of the company was an artist
in his particular line, and, as a re
suit, the audience was more than
pleased.
John King, Billy Clark and Fred
Huber furnished fun by the barrel.
The solo numbers by Chas. E. Fore
man, VIM. AgalI, James III. Sadler
and the numbers by the octette were
especially pleasing, while the topical
songs, by the comedians, were fresh
and tuneful. The olio included a
number Of excellent features.
J. A. Probst, in imitation og birds,
animals and machinery, was the peer
of any imitator that has ever APP
peared before a local audience
Kartelli, the Great, in his slack
wire, balancing and bicycle act pre-
scented a decided novelty and his work
was heartily applauded. Fred May s
manipulations Of the "devil sticks"
was a unique feature and was well
received, as was Billy Clark, in
Mind Wandering"
'.The Wizard of Boz" was really
funny. Ordinarily as the time APP
proaches for minstrel show to close
its performance, the alleged "funny
afterpiece" IS introduced, while the
audience suffers. Such was not the
case last night, for the piece was not
only something new in its way, but
the vocal numbers and orchestra work
challenged the admiration of all.

HANNA'S OPINION
OF BEVERIDGE.

Senator Beveridge, author Of the
Russian Advance, is considered a
young man in the senate. On his en-
trance upon his senatorial duties at
the age of thirty-six. the older sena-
tors did not look with favor upon this
innovation. Since then. however, he
has won the confidence Of the senate
in a remarkable degree, and has been
made a member Of the Republican
"steering committee by the older
estimate on his Judgment He is now
regarded as one of the most conserva-
tive men in the body and one Of its
hardest working members. One day
in the cloak-room of the senate Mr.
Beverage s ability was mentioned in
the presence of Senator Hanna.
Beveridge, replied Hanna, "why
he does as much work as any three
men in the senate put together.

The next day the ming got n piece
of Mrs. Barnes mind. 1t was a liberal
piece and ought to have brought her to
her knees but it didn't. On the con-
trary, after she got fairly started the
redheaded girl got off three words to
the others one and read her long and
severe lecture on minding her own bust
ness. In this lecture were included q
few observations on false teeth and
gray hairs, and when the battle was
over it was the motherly Mrs. Barnes
who didn't know where she was at
She tried to get even by calling her
husband into the cabin and telling him
what was what and that she'd take
good care to see that everybody in
Providence heard of it, but lis reply
was:
Its all nonsense in your sayin' that
I've fallen in love with that girl. but
I'm tellin' you that redheaded women
are just the incest things out, and I
don't care who hears me say So
Inside of four days the redheaded
girl was flirting with everything and
everybody clear down to the cook, and
of course jealousy crept in. The three
captains hurled sarcastic remarks at
each other, and the mate and carpenter
had glare in their eyes and a feeling
of revenge in their breasts. Mrs.
Barnes tried again and again to stem
the tide, but in vain. and at length she
took refuge in tears and predictions.
The Daisy sailed on and ON, and the
flirtationS went on and on. and as the
brig crept up the coast Mrs Barnes
"felt it in her bones that Boston would
never be reached The redheaded girl
had brought DISCRIMINATION from cab
in to bowsprit and almost taken COM
mand.
You jest wait, Josiah Barnes-you
jest wait for Cape Cod the captains
wife grimly repeated a dozen times a
day, and Cape Cod was finally reached.
Then gale sprang up. the big brig
lost her foremost. and, though the red
headed girl sought her stateroom and
the crew was left free to battle with
the storm. the craft was driven ashore
and became a total wreck. Crew and
passengers We're saved. and in due time.
Captain Barnes appeared at the office
of the owners in Boston to tell how it
all happened. He was listened to until
he had finished. and then the head of
the firm handed him letter that had
been received the day before. 1t was
from Martha. and it read:
1 want to report that the Daisy is
ashore on Cape Cod and a total wreck
and / want to report that a redheaded
gal and a lot of fool men are the cause
of it.

round. She was thinking of making a
cup of tea with her own hands and add
ing a slice of dry toast when the red
headed girl suddenly appeared in the
cabin fully dressed and looking as pert
and saucy as if the old brig rested in a
cornfield instead of climbing up and
down watery hills of exceeding steep
ness.
La. bat haven't you been seasick!'
exclaimed the captains wife after Il
long stare.
"Of course not" was the reply.
''And you amt goin' to be?'

will have them all to myself. Do you

Yes. ma'am; / know what they are,

with great emphasis. being determined
to crush the redheaded girl at the very
outset.

GREAT Piece Of
STAGE MECHANISM
How Realistic Effects Are Produced
in the Chariot Race in
Ben-Hur.''

Much interest has been manifested
concerning the mechanical methods
OF the thrilling chariot race employed
in klaw & Erlanger's stupendous pro-
duction of General Wallace IS famous
religious spectacle, "Ben-Hur, (Which
is to be presented at the Victoria
theater, Dayton, Ohio, for period of
six nights, beginning Thursday even
ing, February 25, and ending We'd
nesday evening, March 2, with matt
nees on Saturday and Wednesday.
In this great arenic contest the
spectator sees eight horses gallop-
ing at break-neck speed and straining
every muscle to gain the advantage
in the race within the amphitheater.
Behind each quartet of horses is
Roman chariot. The wheels revolve
rapidly; the chariots lurch and sway
and the flaming beribboned garments
of the drivers futter behind them,
adding intensity to the realism of the
scene. The illusion is still further
increased as the interior wall of the
amphitheater moves along and the
dust flies in binding clouds beneath
the crushing wheels of the chariots.
The clatter Of the rushing hoofs of
the horses and the rumble of the
chariots are distinctly heard.
Elaborate mechanism and appliea
tons Of electricity produce this great
effect. The mechanism of the two
cradles, twenty feet in length and
fourteen feet wide land which are
movable back and forth on railways,
is supported by bridge structure
capable of holding twenty tons. The
tops of the cradles are two inches
above the level of the stage. Each
cradle bears the four horses and the
chariot Of each contestant. On each
cradle there are four runways and
treadmills Of hickory Stats two in
they are twelve feet long and two
and a half feet wide. On each of
these treadmills a horse Is secured
by steel cable traces, which hold him
in place and prevent him from NOV
ing forward off the runways. As each
horse gallops, the treadmill revolves
under his feet, thereby eliminating
the forward pressure created by the
impact Of his hoofs which would
force him ahead on an immovable
surface. By this mechanical arrange
ment it is possible for the horses ac-
tually to gallop with all their speed
within the space of their own length.
1t IS considered the most realistic eff
feet ever seen upon the stage.
When "Ben-Hur' was presented
in London, at the Drury Lane theater,
the present King of England wit
messed it twice and then commanded
a royal box to be built In the center
of the pit Of the theater, so that he
could more thoroughly enjoy the great
race scene.
The Dayton & Western Traction
company have made arrangements to
run cars for special service during
the performance and every accommo-
dation will be afforded
