kissing the BIarney Stone.
From the Gael.

Last year. while in the south of Ire
land, l paid visit to Barney Castle.
and while there had the queer experi-
ence of kissing the Barney Stone, IA
nous in song and story.
one of our party, having gone
through the ordeal before, volunteered
to kiss the stone first and show us how
1t IS done. When it is understood that
you are attempting to kiss stone set
IN the outside wall, and you on the in
SIDE, one can guess that it is no easy
task. 1t is best to take off your coat
and watch and chain and empty your
pockets. There is an opening, as it
were, in the floor You sit on the edge
of this, catch hold of two bars in the
wall and lower yourself backward
down the opening till you are able to
stretch out and reach the stone. AS
you do this the rest of the party hang
on to your legs.
The precaution of taking off the
watch and chain and removing money
from your pockets is a very wise one,
as you have to hang head downward to
get at the stone.

One of the tellers of a prominent
savings bank was discussing some pc
culiarities of his business. Eve pot

Unable condition. Most of the time notes
are handed to us in a dirty crumbled
state that makes difficult handling
but there is one depositor who ALWAYS

This is an old German woman. The
bank notes she hands in are as crisn
as if they had just left the treasury
1t used to puzzle me to account for the
crispness of the old notes she brought
along-notes that by appearance had
been in use long enough to make them
as limp-as rags. So one day 1 remarked
about it, and found to my surprise
that the old lady carefully ironed all
her bank notes. 1 thought her fad
somewhat foolish at first, but after il
occurred to me that it would be a
good thing if people everywhere IRON

TheafeKS.

New York, Sept. 17.-There is more
truth than poetry, but good deal of
both, in Arthur W. Pinero's new play
Lefty" in which William Faversham
has begun his yearly New York en-
gagement at the Hudson Theater. The
heroine of this comedy draBoa is Il
typewriter in a London bucket shop.
The proprietor of this esta blishment
is what the English call a "bounder,"
otherwise a rich vulgarian of the noisy
and offensive type. Among his Gus
toners is an aristOCrat named Letch-
mere, an individual who means we'll
but doesn't always do well, and who
falls in love with Lefty. His senti-
ment is reciprocated, and the girl, who
is OF fine quality, is expecting an
offer of marriage from him when he
tells her he already has a wife. He
has not meant to deceive her, and in
mis- penitence advises her to marry her
employer and settle down in life. This
suggestion she repels and Letchmere
makes her the counter proposition to
come under his protection, in which
case he will bestOw liberal settle

ment Of conservative critics in all the
principal cities. It is dainty, bright.
sparkling and contains twenty-four of
the cleYerest musical numbers ever
written. There is light, color and ac-
ton from the rise to the fall of the
curtain.
The Marriage of Kitty" which is
among the attractions which will soon
be seen here, was the most marked
comedy success of last season in New
York. 1t ran during three months at
the Hudson Theater, where it was as
warmly welcomed as it had been dur
ing its extraordinary run of $50 per-
formances in London the previous year.
Manager Jules hurry has secured the
sOe rights to this amusing comedy, and
has engaged those favorite players,
Bettina Gerard and Max Figman, for
the chief characters.

ural play as THE Village Parson," w.

NAT GOODWIN DENIES
THAT GAMBLING TALE

Comedian Says He is Growing

New York, Sept. Ion the arrival
of Nat c Goodwin from Europe Tues

actor denies absolutely that ne turned

ment upon her. The poor girl, after
a period of wretchedness which
brings her to desperation, goes to
Letchmere's apartment at midnight to
give herself up to him, but at that
moment he receives word that his
dearly loved sister has eloped under
scandalous circumstances, and he
breaks out in a TRADE of denuncia-
ton and wrath which exactly fits the
case of the distracted Lefty, who,
realizing her position, begs him to
let her go. He yields to her persua-
sions and liberates her with gentle
ness and newly awakened considera-
ton. There is a lapse of time and
Lefty marries a small photographer,
nonentity and drops out of sight.
1t is all very stirring except the de-
nouement, which brings us down with
thump to the commonplace of real
life. MIR. Faversham plays the role
of Letchmere, and Carlotta Nelson is
the Lefty.

week at the Belasco Theater in
Sweet Kitty Bellairs'' before making
way for David Warf1eld, whose new
comedy drama, 1.-THE Music Master"
seems undoubtedly to have made
strong impression upon it's out-of- town
opening. The scene of this piece is
laid in an East Houston street board
ing house affected principally by must
clans of the lesser sort, of whom the
parsonage invested by Warfield is one.
He is the Professor in a dime mus
