AFTER THE MATINEE.

The play was over and the playgoers, with interpretive eyes and faces at tuned to the climax they had witness ed, surged forth from the several exits. Outside as well as in the scene had changed, and for few minutes a be- Wilderlng crowd swayed hither and thither on the grassy pavement before a drop-curtain impenetrable fog. Then came momentary lifting of the va porous barrier, and with coat-collars up and covered mouths the various groups pressed stoically forward-for a second wrath, weirdly indefinite, then suddenly invisible, engulfed in the mys | terious beyond. Phantom vehicles emerging from the gloom glided noise lessly away with the occupants of boxes and stalls, and the street settled into silence.
 ''Is that you, Jack?" an anxious voice demanded pantingly as fragrant odor diffused itself Into the murky atmos- phere, and a glowing point of light ad- vanced slowly toward the speaker.
 Tt is not-Jack, Sue," the owner of the cigar said quietly. Have you lost your party?"
 You, Edward? How very lucky! I ran back for my fan md didn't find it just at once. Jack must have thought was in the other carriage and nat urally they concluded he was waiting for me-

 His tone was colorless, but her quick glance at him was inquiring and lin- gered thoughtfully.
 What are we to do in this appalling darkness?" she asked, shivering. Could we get somewhere for tea?"
 T will try to unearth a conveyance if you will remain here until I return. Don't move away or I may miss you" He went a few steps, paused irreso- lutely at the sound of her cough. and slipping out of his fur-lined coat re- turned with it over his arm.

 As he strode off into the fog she drew the garment more closely about her. It reached almost to her feet, and she looked down at herself with an in-

HOW MEzzoTINTs ARE MADE.

The mezzotint process is a little more complex, consisting, as it does, of two operations which are quite dis tinct, thha. sne succeeding the other. In tho first plssce a slnoGtiss ..fata ef furnished copper is roughened all over, or more properly, cut into a million little points which alternate with little depressions, this work be- ing done by what is called a rocker or cradle Gin French, le berceau.) The rocker may be two and a half inches wide, and it's edges is a circular curve, perhaps one-tenth of the circumfer- ence of a circle. This edge is cut into little teeth, not wholly unlike those of saw, the fineness of them varying between 60 to an inch and twice as many. By any ready means the plate is divided into stripe according to it's
 size; perhaps the artist draws two lines

soTHERN AND MARLowE.

Charles F'rohman's presentation of E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, in "The Tanning of the Shrew," at the Hyperion on Saturday evening, January 6, prom ises to be one of the most notable events of the local dramatic season. Aside from the fine histrionism which may safely be expected, the pictorial production of the play will be beautiful in the extreme. It is brimful of the rich depth and warmth of great art. The reproduction of frescoes, tapes tries and decorations of the old Italian period is said to be marvelously exact Infinite attention has been paid to ev- erysmallest detail MT. Sothern and Miss Marlowe are such ardent disciples of Shakespeare that their first always is to glorify the bard. They know fully the possibilities of their craft and. so far as scenic environment is concern
 ed, they bend their efforts towards correctness, magnificenee, and, when it does not conflict with the authors meaning, gorgeous spectacle "The Tanning of the Shrew" will present a series of superb pictures, but they will In no wise detract from the work of the players. MT. Sothern and Miss Marlowe are said never to have shown to better advantage than in this mer- riest of ShakesDeare's comedies.

ards, baby turtles that paddle lazily on the pebbly bottoms. and nervous small crabs, whose restless claws are in mo- tion every minute of the day.
 In case marked Pretty Shells" there are snowy conches with lips as pink as a rose; spiral specimens that carry on their surface the glimmer of the sea they come from, brown speckl- ed shells that will sing you the song of the ocean-if you hold them to your ear-and many pretty varieties that a child might gather on the shore.
 In it's summer vacation.
 In another case are queer tropical butterflies as large as birds, and but terfies, again, blue, green and yellow, like ones that filter across the Mary land fields. In with these pretty crea- lures is big pale blue worm, almost as wonderful as that purple COW. A card tells you that this is a specimen i of the horned devil' that develops in- to a large creamy winged thing known to science as a royal walnut moth"
 Nearby are clumsy beetles and sober looking ants and bees. Then there are the poisonus insects-big, ugly spiders and brown, furry tarantula, whose wicked body deals out death with every sting.
 ] Birds of rare and beautiful plumage have another case, with eggs of every size and hue. The great condor of the Andez, with a strut and red wattles, looks at you with terrifying glass eyes, and beside him is tiny sparrow hawk, i the largest and smaller birds of prey Some of the birds are towering over their nests of protect them from snakes ! and other enemies, and others are sit i ting on nests so like in color to the tree branches on which they are built that a cruel boy in search of eggs who l tried to find them would have to share eyes indeed. These birds with insects and small animals, are mounted to show their habits in life, and the collec tion is labelled, Hide Creatures Hide"
 Before this case were three little girls a day or two ago, evidently fre- quent visitors, who were showing a fourth the wonders within. The strange little girl was looking intently at a bit of pebbly seashore strewn with sticks and weeds. The others watched her as eagerly as she watched the case. Pre- sanity her puzzled expression changed to laughing triumph and she clapped her hands. She had found on the shore a birds nest made of the sticks and weeds and full of eggs, the exact color of the pebbles Then there was another hunt for leaf insects, but here the strange little girl had to "give it up" and have them pointed out-so alike were the creatures, both in shape and color to the foliage to which they were attached. Other specimens that inter- ested the little party were models of teh lergest nugget ever mined and the very biggest diamond ever cut the stone that bends with its own weight, and the lump of asbestos, which caus- ed the strange little girl to exclaim: Now can tell mamma why the as- bestos stove lid won't hurt! I thought it was cotton because it's white, but, you see, it's mineral-and minerals won't burn.-W Washiongton Star.

Blion Theater.

The Little Minister" was presented by the Poli Stock company at the Biz jou theater yesterday afternoon and evening. and the standing room only sign was displayed at both perform ances. This marked the first presenta- tion of this high standard play at pop ular prices, and it was thoroughly en- joyed by the large audience present.
 Miss Gertrude Shlpman as Babbie made an ideal gypsy Shels pretty and sprightly; and MT. Everett Butterfeld, as the little minister, was her able as- sistant. But for Mr Butterleld's slight infraction of the rule that all should know thoroughly their lines the produc- tion was excellent.
 The four scenes are faithfully given and the story, as from the novel ct J. M Barrie, is intensely interesting.
 It will be repeated afternoon and evening for the balance of the week.

approximately straight and parallel with a lead-pencil, and the rocker goes slowly across the plate, keeping itself upon the strip marked out by those two lines, and gradually cutting the whole of that strip into grooves which alternate with ridges-though, indeed, each groove is made up of very minute Impressions corresponding to the teeth of the rocker The whole plate being covered in this way, the rocker begins again in different direc- tion, guided by 8 different set of strips or lines, and once more the plate is scored with the toothing or growing made by the teeth of the berceau. A third, fourth, a fifth repetition of the process follows until at last the whole surface of the copper is covered with an immeasurably fine granulation, a roughness, consisting of hundreds of thousands of sharp lit- tie points alternating with proportion ally sharp and proportionally minute dottings or depressions. If you were to cover this priclly surface with ink and then wipe off all that you could wipe off, the plate would look coppery enough it would be metallic in sur face and ruddy in general hue; but all its recessed parts would be filled with the ink that you could not reach with your wiper. The wetted, thick paper is forced strongly down upon this by the rollers of the press. It takes the ink out from those little hollows, and the paper will show an effect like soft black velvet (if the ink is black), one of the most beautiful surfaces which We can produee.-Seribner' Magazine.

ly attractive to theatergoers, who have tired of clap trap melodrama, and who have had surfeit of gaudy so-called musical comedies
 A feature of the play which has met with enthusiastic praise wherever it has been presented is the scene in the third act. which represents the largest and handsomest of the Broadway roof gardens, this one set costing as much as the entire scenic outfit of many pre- tentious playes. In this act Miss Julia Atkinson, as Alice Leighton, renders I'll Bacio, and a coon lullaby that captivates her audience, and the house rings with generous applause, so well deserved. The play will be presented again to-day, matinee and night

SUCCESSFUL CHINESE RAID.
Portland Police Find Many Of the
PigtaiIs Mapping.

PORTLAND, Dec. 15.-One of the
most successful gambling raids ever
conducted against a Chinese joint
was engineered short time after 2
o'clock this afternoon by Detectives
Mallett and Hill, when they broke
into the gambling den on the second
floor of the building at Second and
Oak streets and arrested 10 China
men. The gamblers were taken to the
police station, two patrol loads being
necessary to transport the crowd.
The detectives put a clever ruse
into practice in order to get into the
building. They boarded a car and
rode to the corner, where, jumping
off, they ran up stairs. Warning had
been given by the time they reached
the second floor and when they broke
into the room they found the gamblers
but no evidence. In one corner Of the
room, however, is large safe, and the
detectives allege that this is always
kept open when gambling is being
done, and If any scare comes the par
aphernalia and all equipment is put
into the safe and locked up. The
Chinese captives were held under $25
bail each.
