would be received with gentle jeers and
filters by her friends.
If the feet of the Cinderella went easily
into the slippers, the chairman would
make little gratihed bow and wave his
hand, and one of the others of us would
say: Stand over there, if you please

of applause from her adherents out in

just two surviving. One was an un-
usually pretty Boston girl of eighteen,
and the other young woman who ap-
parently had come in from farm. Her
face was plain, her hands, l noticed, had
been roughened by toll, and her dress.
though neat, was of cheap material. She
was painfully embarrassed.
BY this time the excitement in the audi
ence had become intense. Even on the

resplendent for several days before the
contest. The president of one of New
England's largest shoe companies had
consented to act as chairman of the
trying-on committee
There were at least three thousand
women in the theater at that matinee.
At the conclusion of the performance
we lowered a plank across the orchestra
inclosure, and invited the contestants,
fifty at time, to come upon the stage.
The scene was a pretty drawing-room,
and down near the footlights was
gilt chair, with a stool before it, for our
C1nderellas.
As these came up we formed them in
semi-circle around the stage, where they
at once removed their shoes and handed
them to maids, receiving checks in return
We took special care with this part of
our arrangements, desiring to avoid the
small riot that might result from mix-up
of footwear.

and the house was hushed as the chair

head bent over the stool with a frown

brow.

ened himself. asked the rivals to take
places on either side of the chair, and
then drew aside Eugene Tompkins and
myself, who were the other members
OF the committee, for whispered con-
sultation.
Its very difficult to decide between
them, y he said. Both have remarkably
beautiful feet; but the younger one is so
much more attractive that /"
This is not a contest of faces, but of
feet" l interrupted 1T has reached
such fine point now that l have no
opinion but, l should say, let your con-
science decide the question -

With this, our chief judge stepped over
to the chair again, and in strained
silence from the throng of intensely inter
ested women, he held out his hand in con-
graduation to the homely girl from the
country.
The orchestra leader, who had been on
the alert, instantly began to wave his
baton in a lively air. The audience
burst into applause, and the girl who had
won, her eyes bright with exultation and
her cheeks suffused with bushes, sat
down in the chair again, to have those
perfect feet of hers incased in the diamond
slippers. In a few seconds the chairman
had given her his arm and, with his back
still little bent from his exertions, but
otherwise appearing gallant, he stood be-
fore the audience. The music stopped,
and he said:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
youngwomanwhom the diamond slippers,
modelled after the ideal classic foot, have
fitted best of all. / have the honor to
present her to you.
As | recall the episode, am glad that
the plain, tinid girl won the slippers
from the fashionable Boston women who
tried them on. For her, it was the tri-
umph of a lifetime.

President Arthur permitted us to use
his name. In fact, he stood behind
the play as a sort of sponsor. The
dramatic editors of the New-York
papers came down for the first per-
for1nance. The fashion. culture and
brains of Washington were assembled
In brave array for the occasion. The
President was in a box. 1t indeed
was a gala night. The initial effort
Of no other budding playwright that
/ know of was ever launched so
auspiCiously.
During the first two acts the brilliant
audience showed great appreciation of
the well-developed action and fine dia-
lOgue, and when the curtain rose on the
third act there was burst of spontaneous
applause. This scene showed a ball
room, with a conservatory behind, and
we were proud of it. The conservatory
was filed with roses, lilies and other
growing flowers from the Presidents own
hot-houses, and the official horticulturist
had arranged them so cunninglv that
they appeared to reach away in a
long vista. The theater was pervaded
by their fragrance. When Mile Rhea
swept in, managing like a queen the
long court train of resplendent yell
low, with the charming bower as her
background, the scene was exceedingly
charming.
But Carroll, at this time of triumph,
was far from happy. He was pale with
nervousness, because, at the end of the
third act, he knew that ne would be called
upon for a speech. To tighten his burden
OF apprehension, l told him the story of
how Joaquin Miller had concealed himself
IN the gallery the night of the first pro-
duction OF his play.
Il can understand 1t, / can under
stand it." cried Carroll Rather than

and seek the bubble reputation in the
cannons mouth | wish, Jimmie, that
you had written this play instead of l.
When they call for the author, couldn't
you go out and say that you did write it,
after all?"
But our playwright gave little evil

before the curtain. He bowed first
to the President, who Immediately !
rose TO his feet and bowed gravely IN

at this. and General Carroll had time |
to find his voice, which he, speedily |

Immoral Element Secures Control and
Gambling is Given Fun Swing.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 9.-The i'm
moral element is in control and the
lid has been wrenched off and thrown
away, With 2S faro tables and more
than 80 roulette wheels all going
dealers and roulette spinners We're ex-
changing stacks of whites at from $50
to 500, reds at 500 to $500 and
blues at $500 to $1,000.
The highest play is at Canfield's, but
not the biggest. For some reason the
old-line professionals and some of the
wealthy young sports with more
money than brains steer clear of Can
fields and divide their patronage be-
tween the Bridge Whist club" and
the Manhattan.
But for all this prejudice there were
some pretty big wagers in Canfield's
house, which women in the adjoining
restaurant caught a glimpse of as they
supped. Most of the players who
wooed fortune or financial disaster
over the green cloth were of the pro-
fessional sort-bookmakers and racing
men, who produced big wads of ''yel-
low backs" and spread their chips in
towering stacks over the beard.
The heaviest play was at Ullman's,
the Bridge Whist club" and at the
Manhattan. The faro tables in both
these places were kept busy until long
after daylight, and there was some
skyrocket work INDUCED in by the
nervier ones. According to the man
ayers of the industry of separating the
gamesters from their money, the
houses lost.
1.-THE Bridge Whist club" where the
lid was off to the limit, is said to
have been hit for $4,000 on the
nights play. The Garfield game is
said to have won about as much. A
New York coffee broker, who has a
fortune of 100000 or s4,OOO,O0O,
dropped $4,000 playing roulette.

Salt Fish in saIton Sea.

That the great sea forming at Salton
is destined to become the largest in
land lake west of the Mississippi river
is the growing conviction of all the
government and railway engineers
who have been investigating the enor-
nous inflow of water for several
months past. The government engin-
eers have almost abandoned the sup
position of overflow from the Colo
rado and are conducting their investi-
cations along the lines of discovering
the subterranean intakes which, they
now believe, were caused by recent
earthquakes in the vicinity of the
northern end of the Gulf of Califor-
MIA.
Another thing which to them indi-
Gates that there is a connection of
some sort between the Salton sea and
the ocean proper, Is the fact that
within the past few days numerous
salt water fish, including barracuda
and sea perch, have been caught at
various points in the lake. The pres
ence of these fish, they argue, points
Enthusiastically to the fact that there is
either a direct opening to the gulf or
a very porous spot through which the
water is seeping in large quantities.

. MASSACRE REPRODUCED.
Mimic Fray Portays Great Historical
Event.

Portland, Or, Aug. 10.-The Custer
massacre was reproduced with Won
derful fidelity to detail at the Lewis
and Clark exposition today with
Umatilla Indians and soldiers of the
Oregon National Guard and the Tenth
United States Infantry as the particl-
pants. The affair proved one of the
most attractive in the program of
spectacular events arranged for the
entertainment of exposition visitors.
The reproduction of the massacre
had for its location plot of ground
on the government peninsula of
Guilds lake, near the river entrance
to the fair. The lay of the ground
was similar in many respects to the
geography of the Little Big Horn,
which circumstance added much to
the interest of the spectacle. Indi-
ans from the Umatilla reservation,
garbed in the war clothes of the
plains, formed the attacking party
and the attack was maintained by
them until the last of the soldiers
representing Custer's heroic little
band had fallen.
