People TantaIized by Picture of Young
 Man Said to be We'll Known.

Who IS the handsome soldier in khaki uniform that took his station in store windows as "catchgage" yesterday? A host of people know the face when 1t appears on Sundays under a shining silk hat in one of the central churches. But few could recognize the business like soldier with side arms that faced their eyes as if in answer to another card that last week urged them to Wait for It on April 26, 27, 2S. Both cards are clever devices to remind the public of the Grays' comic opera "The Moeking Bird" A full rehearsal of the company will be held tonight on the Hyperion stage.

/, CLEVELAND'S BIRTHDAY.

Princeton, N. J.,. March 17.-Ex-
President Grover Cleveland will be 6e
years old tomorrow and his friends arc
preparing to celebrate the anniversary
|of his birth. Mr. Cleveland enjoys the
distinction Of being the only ex-president
of the United States living at the pres
ent day. Although no longer actively
engaged in politics he is still considered
a man Of strong political power and in
iuence Ii is a remarkable fact that
there has been scarcely an important
question that arose since his retirement
from the presidency, concerning which
his Judgment and advice was not sought.
He IS probably greater man now, at
least in a wider sense, than when he was
president, although his strength lies not
in his party affiliations.
Mr.. Cleveland has lately been brought
into prominence through the reorgaiiiza-
tion Of the insurance companies after
tle.scandalous exposures Of the investi-
CATION When the scandal covered Off
|cials Of the insurance companies faced
the difficult task of winning back public
|coniidence, they saw that it could only
be done by placing in charge some man
who had the absolute confidence of the
American public. lii that crisis they
turned to Grover Cleveland and finally
succeeded IN inducing him to become the
head of the Equitable board Of trustees,
to bring a new regime into the company
that the Hydes and Alexanders had dis
credited
Mr. Cleveland is still hale and sound.

fluence OF outdoor exercise and there
is no man more devoted to fishing and
hunting than he. His aspirations II

CARE OF THE FINGER NAILS
There Is Nothing Better for Brittle ness and to Keep Nails in Good
 Order Than Vaselin4.

If too much "manicuring" is done, the nails are hopelessly injured; the cuticle becomes so roughened at the base and the nails so bruised that the whole length must grow out before any improvement can possibly take place, warns Hortense Provost.
 There has always been sort of "omen" attached to the disfguring white spots found on the nails; so many on the index finger meaning something; so many on the second finger meaning something else; almost like the proverbial ,'igooeebeAe"p 1t seems. are the spots to be considered, when it comes to prophecy. This is, of course. utter nonsense; every one of these blemishes means hurt to the tender young nail while yet 1t was under the cuticle at the base, or just beyond that point, and for each one of them the usual steel "cutiole" knife is largely responsible. Either that or the sharp point of the steel file.
 This same sharp point, too, is re- sponsible for the rough line directly under the end of the nail that is so hard to keep clean; where dirt seems to just naturally stick and refuse to budge. It the nails were never touched underneath with any sort of hard or soft instrument the flesh there would never roughen and so not re- tain dirt. It is far better to use a bit of soft linen wrapped around a toothpick, after softening the finger tips in cleansing wash.
 I have seen a set of brittle, broken, and altogether unlovely nails trans formed in six months to fairly pre- sentable condition by the use of the plain vaseline called petroleum jelly" that costs five cents a jar. It seems to have a decided effect in hardening the layers of the nails and keep them from breaking. But vaseline alone will not make the nails beautiful; 1t will make them more tractable, as 1t were; more amenable to other treat ment It takes constant attention to the nall while it is growing. and plen- ty of care to bring 1t to the crowning perfection of the almond-shape, pink and smooth, with the moons" show ing at the base of each rosy nail.
 It is soemtimes in the endeavor to bring out moon" much of the harm is done; only by patient softening of the rim at the base, and its gradual re- cession, can the desired effect be ob- tained. As to those moons" being a sign of blue blood" I have noted them on the nails of . man or woman who could not, as far as human knowl- edge is concerned. have a drop of such azure fluid in generations of ances- tors.
 Certainly. too. in such cases. it was not the care and attention bestowed on the nails that brought out the cres- cents; simply one of those things that just happen" most likely. and for which no reason seems to be forth coming.

SAM BERNARD.

There Is one moment during the production of "The Rollicking Girl' in which Sam Bernard will star at Polls tonight that is really serious, and that is about the only time dur ing the performance when the au- dience is not laughing. The dramat- ic moment is when Ilona, the runa- way girl (Hattie Williams), and Fanchette (Miss Esther Tittell, the leading lady who Iona has sup planted at the Royal theater), cross swords, and, although the author of "The Rolicking Girl" decrees that Ilona must be wounded there have been several occasions when Miss Tittell has been pinked by Miss Will Hams. Of course the tips of the foils are carefully guarded with buttons so that the rtya1Ey .of the. dueilists may not result in a fatality, but these buttons are carefully chalked each night and the record copied after each duel scene. Bernard is keeping count and, according to him, Miss Williams has been killed six times.

HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
CATHEDRAL TO HOLD REMARK-
 ABLE CELEBRATION.
Most Notable Gathering of Prelates of Roman Catholic Church Since Plenary Council in 1884 to
 Mark Occasion.

The celebration on April 29 of the centenary of the laying of the corner stone of the old Baltimore cathedral will probably be the most notable gathering of prelates of the Roman Catholic church since the plenary in 1884. This venerable church is the seat of the primacy of the American Roman Catholic hierarchy, and the great hall of legislation for that church in the United States
 Twelve archbishops and a hundred or more bishops, monsignors, abbots and leaders of the various ecclesi- astical orders will take part in the ceremonies, which will be on a scale of magnifcence never before equaled in this church, not even at the na- tional councils.
 For more than year decorators and gilders have worked on the minarets, dome and the interior of the big edi- flee, completely renovating it for the centenary. The costly work is now complete.
 The Baltimore cathedral is the sec ond oldest cathedral in the United States, the oldest being the cathedral at St. Augustine. Fla, built by the Spaniards.
 The programme for the celebration includes procession of the prelates and priests around the cathedral block on the morning of Sunday, April 29, to be followed by mass at which Arch bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, will ponti1cate. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, will preach the ser mon. To this service may also be in vited the president and vice president of the United States, members of the cabinet, many senators, representa- tives and diplomats and state and city officials.
 At vespers Archbishop Messmer, of Milwaukee, will pontiflcate, and Arch bishop Ireland( of St. Paul. will preach. These two services will com pose the religious part of the pro gramme.
 The history of the old cathedral Is told by Cardinal Gibbons, who, in speaking of the importance to church circles of the coming event, said:
 "In celebrating the centenary the name of Archbishop Carroll will oc- cupy conspicuous place. John Car roll was appointed first bishop of Baltimore by Pope Plus VII, and was consecrated on August 15, 1790, in the chapel attached to Lulworth castle, Dorsetshire, England. His see. the oldest in the United States, embraced then the whole country. The conse- crating prelate was Rt. Rev. pr. Walmesley, vicar apostolic of the Lon don district.
