PEOPLE OF THE STAGE.
Theatrical Life Has Few joys and
Much Bitterness.

Booth, to whom Henry e. Abbey
would cheerfully have paid $1,000 a
night for 100 consecutive nights, was
one Of the most unhappy men on the
face OF Gods earth. lie had buried
two wives, been through the mortifica-
ton of bankruptcy and so far as world
ly wealth Is concerned, so far as the
comforts of n settled home go, had yet
to make the one and secure the other.
This being the case, what do you sup
pose is the fate of minor people? The
fact is that they work hard, are under
paid, never play the parts they prefer,
iay much, by far the greater portion Of
their salaries. for stage costumes, In
varlably have gang OF hangers on
who eat the bread they earn, are out of
engagements most Of the time and
ninety times out of 4 hundred die so
poor that they are buried at the ex-
pcnse OF their fellows. In the first
place, it is extremely difficult for them
to obtain Il position, and. having Il
position, how few its advantages.
They have to rehearse at inconvenient
times; they go out in all kinds Of
weather regardless OF their health or
comforts or home desires; they dress in
outlandish places, either wet. damp
and chilly or oyerheated. They are at
the caprlcious mercy of speculative
managers, and, having found by ex-
perience that there is very little SYM
pathy FOR them, either before or behind
the footlights they wrap themselves
in a garment of mental Indifference to
appearances, which is utterly misun-
derstood by n cynical and suspicious
world.
know of a girl who was called to
Sunday night rehearsal. Her father
was very Ill, but the rental of their
rooms, the fees for the doctor and mon
ey for the drugs depended upon her at
tending to her business. 1t was imper-
ative that she should be in the theater
at T:30 o'clock. Having arranged the
room as women only can, having placed
upon the table by the bedside of her
father his medicine, she kissed him
goodby and, with loving touch, prom
ised to be back as early as possible.
You know what Sunday night rehears-
ais mean. They mean l, ., 3, o'clock
the next day. That is what this one
meant. The girl fastened home. The
candle light had gone, the cold gray
of the early morning was in the room,

Old Times In New York.

In 1883 New York city maintained an
official who would whip a servant,
either free or slave, for the master,
charging q shilling for the job. Petty
thieves were branded for life with a
''T' on the check. Mrs. Johanna Young
and another woman convicted Of grand
larceny were driven all over the city
in an open cart, then stripped to the
waist and given thirty-nine lashes
apiece in public and then banished.

A RAZOR'S EDGE.
Results THAT Come From Stropping
and Long Use.

Very th;% - the edge of Il razor blade.
about one half millionth of an inch.
A writer says of this wonderfully thin
bit of steel, when seen under power
full microscope: 1.-THE extreme edge of
the section is distinctly bent to one
side. This is nearly always seen in
razor edges. The actual bend repre-
Gents the effect of the last stroke on
Now, this bending of the metal quite
near the edge, minute as it is has some
very important practical consequences.
If the razor be used in such q way
that the bend Is toward the skin there
will be Il tendency for the edge Itself
TO burrow downward into the skin, in
stead of sliding easily over the surface
and merely cutting away the project
ing hairs. II, on the other hand, the
blade be applied to the face in such Il
way that the bend of the edge is away
| from the skin the edge will slide much
more smoothly, with less tendency TO
cut or scratch the skin, while it will
act upon the hairs in q slightly upward
| direction and thus tend to pull them
the bend of the edge can be regulated
| by the last few strokes OF the strop.
This minute amount of bending I'M
| dergone Ey the metal near the edge OF
| q razor blade has another practical re-
suit. We all know that piece of wire
which will quite easily stand being
bent double will be broken if it be bent
backward and forward many times
What really takes place is that the
metal, which was strong and ductile
to begin with, is gradually made hard
and brittle and then finally breaks off,
| Now, the metal near the edge of a
razor is being subjected to very similar
treatment. Every turn on the strop
| reverses the direction of the bend near
the edge, and, although the amount of
bending is too slight ever to bring
about actual breakage of such an
elastic metal as hardened steel, it is
yet sufficient to bring about a change
in the metal which renders 1t less
elastic and able to stand the strain.
This is why razor which has been
| used long ceases to cut we'll or to hold
| a good edge
Now it has been discovered that
steel which has lost its proper elastic
qualities by such process of fatigue
as it is called, is capable of recovering
| its good qualities under favorable cir
cumStances. 1t will recover in this
way If left Mt rest, though this is Il
comparatively slow process, which ex-
plains the fact that tool which has
become useless through continued use
will be as good as ever after prolong-
ed rest. But recovery will take place
much more rapidly if the steel be
warmed, so that few minutes expo
sure TO the temperature of boiling wa
ter will bring about recovery to an OK
tent that would have required several
days rest at the ordinary tempcra-
lures. This fact explains the advantage
to be derived from the familiar prac-
tice Of 'steamiEg' n razor before use"

Hitler, Brother-in-Law Of Rich
Man Who Was Slain, Is
Held.

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 5.-With a
police officer on duty at his house,
A. Maxey Hitler, who was detained
temporarily as q witness last evening,
the death Of his brother-in-law, Charles
A. Edwards, of New York, was allowed
to pass the night at his own residence
in Temple street.
The coroner refused to give any in
timation as to what evidence developed
during yesterdays proceedings, but it
is understood that the inquiry was
and the relations existing between A.
Maxey Hitler and his brother-in-law.
a. Maxey Hitler acted as legal and
financial adviser of his mother. He
said yesterday he believed she left a
will, but he declared he did not draw
up the document. Mr.. Hitler expressed
the opinion that the will would be
found in an old safe at the Hitler home
stead. The key Of this safe, he said,
had been missing since the death Of
his mother, two months ago.
/ Judge Charles A. Hitler, who lives at
the Hitler homestead, is a resident Of
Kansas, where his wife and children
now are, but he has been here for more
than a year.
A permit is on record for A: Maxey
Hitler to carry a revolver. This was

brother Charles came from the west.
In the inquest yesterday Mr.. Hitler
was questioned as to his reasons for
obtaining this permit. He said that
it was the, result of a joke played upon
him by Chief Wrinn and the late police
clerk, Frank B. S~outhworth. Chief
Wrinn denied he played any joke which
would have led Mr.. Hitler to take pre-
cautions to keep himself armed. Many
of Mr.. Killers closest friends say they
newer knew that Mr.. Hitler went about
armed.

lengthy and carefully prepared, was
devoted exclusively to state politics.
On the railroad question he took
strong ground He regards it as the

if it had not been before, the pro-

fail to make it SO now. He stands for

will make the state laws conform to

placing himself squarely on the Roose-

such a result. An accurate report of
that part of his speech treating of this
subject is as follows:
