BROWN UNIVERSITY NOTES.


 The Biblical Literature department of Brown university has purchased with money given by William Ives Gammell three casts of extreme interest and value. The first is a cast of the famous Moabite stone. which is ascribed to the years about $50 B. C., and contains the story of the battles and events of the reign of Mesha. The story is written in Phoenician characters. The second cast is that of the Deluge tablet, giving the Babylonian story of the flood. It was found in Ninevah,, and is supposed to come from the library of Ashurban- apal, 66S626 B. c. The third cast, "The Siloan Inscription" probably represents the oldest specimen of Hebrew inscrip- ton in existence, dating from 700 B. C., in the days of sHezekiah. A miniature reproduction of a Jewish scroll of the Pentateuch has been presented by Rab- bi Hausman.
 Arrangements of the Sock & Buskin Dramatic society for the presentation of it's annual play are well under way. The cast is working on Sheridans "The Rivals and the play will be given dur ing junior week in April
 I. l.. Price and C.. c. Waters, the Brown representatives in the Triangu- lar Chess league, have received from Professor Isaac l.. Rice, the donor of the trophy in that league, two medals commemorative of the victory of the Triangular league over the Quadrangu- lar league in New York last December.

The play is without farcieal horse play. The effect is gained almost wholly by the clever dialogue. which bristles with quaint and kindly humor. sparkles with new jokes. and which has that terse. epigrammatic give-and-takle quality which is so appealing. The cast SUD- porting this eleve. humorist-comedian is adequate and nearly every character in the play has something to do or say that makes a hit.
 Among Mir Kendall's associates are c. H. Crosby. Frank A. Lyon, Ralph Dean. Roy Fairchild, John D. Garrick, Harry Hanlon, Frank A. Howson, jr.. Helen Salinger, Lottie Alter, Lucille La Verne and June Mathais. The vinegar business cuts but little figure in the play, though Joe Miller is a vinegar buyer beyond question. Still, he is a grand, good fellow, whom the whole village learns to love for his big heart, and whose bump of shrewdness and knowledge of human nature enables him to overcome the machinations of the wicked and care for the unfortunate and oppressed in a way that warns the cookies of the heart of the auditor. Seat sale Wednesday. Prices: Night, Sl.5O S1 and 75 cents; matinee, $1, 75 cents, 50 cents and 25 cents.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Ilypera..,, 'rh snter

One of the greatest hits of the pres ent season has undoubtedly been scored by Arnold Daily in G. Bernard Shaw S
 witty comedy, Candida" in New York, and which, through the mayors closing
 his theater for repairs, is to be given
 at the Hyperion next Wednesday night.
 Critics unite in declaring the work of
 this capable artist to be on a par with
 the greatest of English speaking actors.
 His impersonation of the eighteen-year-
 old poet who falls in love with the min
 ister's wife succeeds in arousing the
 jealousy of the pious man, and finally
 brings the domestic affairs at the rec tory to such state that Candida, the minister's wife, is made to choose be-
 tween them. It is so fine and so hu-
 man that the sympathy of the audience
 is wont to get the better of their judg-
 ment. Seat sale now open. Prices $1.5O
 $1 and 75 cents.

Grand ops-a sIonss.

The return of such prime favorite as Bartley Campbelrs "The White Slave" to the Grand Opera house for three nights, commencing tonight, will be heartily welcomed. The unusual popularity of "The White Slave" can best be accounted for when 1t is recall ed that never has second or inferior company presented this play. Since the author organized the original cast there has been but one White Slave" " Throughout these many years the ex- cellence of the first company has been maintained and there has been no let ting down to the general performance; on the contrary, every season the scenic outfit is made new and elaborated by the addition of something novel in the way of mechanical or electrical device. Then there are new musical features and a encouragement of the stage busi- ness. The stage director this season has taken more license than ever be- fore, with the result that "The White Slave" is made new and will doubtless be profitable for many years to come. There will be matinee on Wednes- day.

The action of the play in the scenic melodrama 'The Child Slaves of New York" by Charles B. Blaney and How ard Hall, which receives its initial per- formance at the Grand Opera house next Thursday, for three nights and a Saturday matinee, takes in Alaska and New York city, and deals with the ad- ventures of people who risk their lives seeking fortunes in the far northwest, the prologue showing the ice fields and mountains of Alaska, with very real istic representation of the Aurora Bor- calls. The four ensuing acts are a ka- leidoscope of wonderful and thrilling scenes showing a detective office in New York and a bucket shop, the slums of the great metropolis, a den of thieves, the home of the child slaves, the falling of a brick chimney and the rescue by the harbor police in their tug. Another mechanical sensation is the under ground railroad showing four rapid transit trains at full speed, and a res cue of a child from horrible death. The cast contains well-known players and the Child Slaves boy band.

Sailing Pork.

Many persons wonder why
pork and even bacon have a
bitter as we'll as a salty taste,
Notwithstanding the salt may
have been drawn out Of it by
soaking in fresh water before
cooking. The reason of the
bitterness, in most cases, is
that the pork was sailed down
in water-tight barrel or box
that prevented the brine from
draining off. The heat in the
freshly butchered meat tends to
dissolve the salt while the
moisture which the latter draws
from the meat forms brine
that will rise and cover more or
less of the meat unless there
are means for it to drain off
just so certain as the brine
formed by the meat water and
salt covers the meat for any
length of time the bitter taste
referred to above will be quite
pronounced Even though pick
ling of the meat be intended,
the brine arising from the first
sailing should be allowed 10
drain of as it contains blood
and other soluble impurities ex-
tracted from the meat, the n
make the pickle from clean salt
and fresh water. A bench, box
top or board platform of suffic-
lent space and strength should
be used on which to salt the
meat, not plling more than
three pieces high, and thus af-
ford full opportunity for thor
ough drainage as the meat brine
forms, and allow the air free
access TO it. By this means the
meat is purified while curing"
and taking salt and will be free
from bitter taste-Ruralist.

Warden Hall has decided to close Silk street until the weather and conditions are such that the street. which was badly washed and gullied by Mondays rain, can be put in good condition It is to be hoped that the present board will put 'n a sur face sewer pipe of sufficient dimensions to be of some use. and use better judgment than was used two years ago when a simi- lar state of affairs existed on the same street.
 Wires getting crossed caused quite lit- tie trouble Monday evening at the electric light station. The fire alarm switchboard was damaged as was the switchboard on the commercial system. The lights on the streets and houses were out for a short time. Superintendent Pierce got the fire alarm system working again all right yes terday morning

MRS. BANCRoFrs VISIT TO LADY
 BYRON.


 We have taken advantage of our leis- ure to drive little into the country. and on Tuesday had a pleasure of the highest order in driving down to Esher and passing quiet day with Lady By ron, the widow of the poet. She is an intimate friend of Miss Murray, who has long wished us to see her and de- sired her to name the day for our visit.
 Esher is a little village about sixteen miles from London, and Lady Byron has selected it as her residence, though her estates are in Leicestershire, be- cause it is near Lord and Lady Love lace, her only child, the Ada of poetry. We went in our own carriage, taking Miss Murray with us, and as the coun- try is now radiant with blossoms and glowing green, the drive itself was very agreeable. We arrived at 2 o'clock, and found only Lady Byron with the second boy of Lady Lovelace and his tutor. Lady Byron is now about 55, and with the remains of an attractive, if not brilliant, beauty. She has extremely delicate features, and very pale and finely delicate skin: a tone of voice and manner of the most trembling refinement, with cul- ture and strong intellect, almost mas culine. but which betrays itself under such sweet and gentle and unobstru- sive forms that one is only led to per- ceive it by slow degrees. She is the most modest and unostentatious person one can well conceive. She lives simply, and the chief of her large in-
