RACHEL AS PHEDRE.

So l saw Rachel It was one of the most overpowering impressions of my life. This play was Racine's "Phe- dre." I had read most of the tragedies of Corneille, Racine and Voltaire, and was well enough acquainted with them to follow the dialogue But had nev- CT liked them much The stilted arti- flciality of the dicton in the tedious monotony of the rimed Alexandrine verse had repelled me, and had al- ways wondered how such plays could be made interesting on the stage. That I was to learn When Rachel stepped upon the scene, not with the customary stage stride, but with dig nifty and majestic grace all her own, there was first a spell of intense as- tonishment and then burst of ap- plause. She stood still kor a moment, in the folds of her classic robe like an antique statue fresh from the hand of Phidias. The mere sight sent a thrill through the audience, her face long oval, her forehead, shadowed by black wavy hair, not high, but broad and strong; under her dark arched eye brows a pair of wondrous eyes that glowed and blazed in their deep sock cts like two black suns; finely chis- elled nose, with open, quvering nos trils; above an energetic chin a mouth severe in it's lines, with slightly low cred corners, such as we may imagine the mouth of the tragic Muse; her stature, sometimes seeming tall, sometimes little, very slender but the attitude betraying elastic strength; a hand with one tapering fingers of rare beauty; the whole apparition exciting in the beholder a sensation of aston ishment and intense xpectancy.-Carl SchpEz ia, AeClures.

NEGRO coNFEssEs CRIME.
Murdered Mrs. Pearcc and Children at
 Canonsburg, Penn.

Washington, Pa, July 30 Up to mid nightno attempt had been made to take from jail Elmer Dempster, the negro who is charged with the murder of Mrs Samuel Pearce and her children at Cannonsburg last night. The excite ment which prevailed upon the arrival of the officers with the prisoner sub sided during the night and all danger of demonstration is apparently over. Dempster made several confessions during the day and late tonight made a clean breast of the Canonsburg trag- edy, admitting that he killed Mrs. Pearce and the children. In supple mentary confession he cleared up an- other murder mystery which has led to the arrest of two other negroes. These men were arrested by the Wash ington county officers tonight who up on Dempster's information went to the mines of the M. A. Hanna Coal com pany in Cherry Valley and took the men as they came from their work. The names of the men are Patterson and Butcher, and they are charged with the murder of John Koboda, a wealthy foreigner, who was found dead in a clump of bushes along the Wabash railroad tracks in Independence town ship on May 1. The men were placed in the Mcdonald lookup, near Burgetts- town, tonight, and will be brought to the county jail here tomorrow.

 doing something to eounteract the ef- feet of the Viborg address. This has
 attained an enormous circulation in the provinces, in spite of the greatest ef- forts on the part of the administration to prevent it's publication. The govern ment doubtless also desired to check the perfect flood of other manifestos which the radical members of the late house are putting forth in connection with the revolutionary organizations.
 The "seizure" of the Boussel printing plant here by armed revolutionists for the purpose of getting out copies of the Viborg address was duplicated to-day in Yekaterinoslav, but it is believed that this forcible occupation of print ing offices is merely bit of amateur
 theatricals arranged between the pro- prietors of the establishments and the l revolutionists to save the former from responsibility. This same method was employed to effect the printing of the illegal organ of the workmens counsll of St. Petersburg last winter.

Leads to Resignation of Mayor md Aldermen.
 Havana, July 30,-The mayor of Ha- vana and all the aldermen resigned this evening in anticipation of a request for their resignations by President Palma tomorrow.
 The government has long contemplat- cd replacing the entire city government IIwith new men. The dissatisfaction with with the late mayor and aldermen was partly on partisan grounds and partly on account of alleged incompetency and graft. President Palma will utilize the authority he has oyer the municipalities to install moderate mayor and coun- cil composed of twenty-one moderates, six liberal nationalists and one liberal. The government originally contemplat- ed more equal division with the lib- eral nationalists it's late allies, but the urgings of moderate office seekers pre- vailed to the contrary. The council re- gently was given a bare moderate ma jority by the unseating of several kb- eral nationalists, but Governor Nunez, the leader of that party, managed to have this action overruled by a veto of | the liberal nationalist mayor.
 The government intends to control the municipality until the passage of bill prescribing definitely it's powers and duties.
 The city clerk and two aldermen of Havana have been arrested, charged with graft.

THE MARvEr. OF NOTRB DANE

Often as have seen Notre Dame, the marvel Of it never grows less. I go to Paris with no thought or time for it, busy about many other things; and then, off my way over one of the bridges across the river, perhaps, I see it again on its island, the beautiful towers high above the high roofs of houses and palaces, and the view, now so familiar, strikes me afresh with all the wonder of my first impression. The wonder only seems greater, if I turn, as l am always tempted to, and walk down the quays on the left bank, the towers before me and with every step coming more and more completely together, by the Pont Neuf, to the is land, and at last to the great square where Notre Dame fronts me in it's superb calm.-Elizabeth Robins Pen nell in the Century.

CRADLES OF MANY LANDS.

When a baby is born in Guinea all

its waist, so that it cannot get into
mischief, and this is the only cradle
1t knows anything about. says the New

| with soft moss. This ran be hung on
a tree or covered up with snow while
mamma goes to church Or any place
where babies are not invited.
The baby Of India rides in a basket
which hangs on its mothers head. or
from her hips, or In a hammock. In
some parts the baby's nose Is adorned
with a nosering and in others its face
is wrapped in a veil like its mother.
The Chinese baby Is tied to the back
of an older child.
The Monaghan infants travel about
In bags slung on a cemel's back.
In some countries the mothers lay
their babies where a stream Of water
falls on their heads. This Is to make
them tough, which it does. unless tho
babies die as a result of this treat
ment. Another mother covers her
baby's head with paste, while the Tar
tar baby Is covered with butter.
The Turkish baby Is salted--perhaps
TO keep it sweet-while the worst fate
Of all falls to the lot of the newly-born
children In Bulgaria. Their mothers
put a hot omelette on the little ones

them from sunstroke. The Bulgarian
baby does not like 1t any better than
you would. He makes a great howl
about 1t, but 1t Is not a bit OF use
