farce! Once the most exquisite of Vio-
las; an Ophelia to Booths Hamlet; a
Juliet to Barrett's Romeo. and Guine-
we're so sweet and gentle that her liason
with Lancelot seemed no sin. Now the
iovisl, unetherial, laughable wife with
a baby TO be funny with. But Miss
Wainwright isn't comic except as she
intends to be. No longer slim, she still
is not very thick, and it seems that
when she used to be a tragedienne she
had, too, the ability of a coincidence;
and I don't doubt that she is this week
getting the biggest salary in her whole
stage career.
It is hard for a few minutes to guess
that you are expected TO laugh at Our
Baby" The infant is asleep in the next
room. The mothers voice is low and
tender, lest she awake the slumberer.
The father is off somewhere trying to
hate the wife whom he loves. He is
privileged to visit the baby at fixed
intervals. The playlet, by Frank Tan
nehir, covers one of these occasions.
The wife decides that it shall serve to
keep him with her. Through jealousy
she will make him know that he wants
a reconciliation. So she prepares the
room with photographs of former ad-
mirers, and flowers and candy they
have sent to her. There was promise

handsome but buxom Marie Wainwright
runs into the next room to fetch ''our
baby" She returns with a pet dog in
her arms. She has fooled the audience
all along. The creature of her own and

community not affiliated with the
church, to meet for social purposes
and TO get acquainted. No set enter

5. Rogers gave an informal and very
interesting account OF the experiences
of his recent trip abroad. Mr.. Barstow
in introducing Mr. Rogers stated that
he had called the men together that he
might get better acquainted with all
the men of his parish. He said he
wanted TO be a friend TO every man in
town. If there were any factions and
parties he wished to keep clear of them
that he might be better friend of all.
He spoke of the ACCESSIBILITY of forming

were doing, but did not ask those
present to commit themselves to it, but
to consider the plan. II. Ellsworth

aTHE SPRINKLE DOLLAR"

"The Sprinkle Dollar" so called because it was made by a man of the name of Josiah Sprinkle, who owned 8 silver mine in the west. One day along in the thirties he appeared at his home in an eastern town with a buckskin pouch full of silver dollars made by his own hand. They were not counterfeits, but had on one side a six-pointed star, and on the other side the stamp of an owl. They were pure silver, weighing more than the regular dollar, and really worth more than 100 cents. He had no difficulty in passing his coin, but one day the government found it out and caused his arrest for counterfeiting. He was set free, however, as his money in no way im- itated Uncle Sam's, and besides was worth more.

F. K. Gregory, assistant general passenger agent of the Santa Fe, who has his office in the Ferry building, has set a new fashion in railroad circles, says the San Fran cisco Chronicle.
 The winds from the bay are get ting chilly, and Gregory has put a small oil stove in his office, at which the officials poke fun, although they occasionally sit around it and get warm.
 The stove is placed over in one corner, where a stool formerly stood. and in the darkness 1t is hard to tell them apart.

IRVING AS AN EDUCATOR.
Tribute Paid to Great Actor By His
 Lifelong Associate.

1.-The late Sir Henry Irving was much more than a great actor; he was a great educator" said Mir. Bram Stoker in a touching eulogy of the famous actor-manager, with whom he was closely associated for 90 years.
 When he began his own manage ment he resolved that a theater could be a place of education, and he made it so.
 The committee appointed for the revision of the Bible, when they had finished their labors, went in a body to the Lyceum and placed it on rec ord that this theater is place for good
 Wherever he went he became a recognized educational force. He was asked to lecture at Harrow school, at Oxford, by Dr. Jowett, at Cambridge and most of the other great universities in all parts of the world.
 If all the people who went to see Irving" added the lecturer, "were placed in a long line, allow ing each a yard of space, and the sun shone at the head of the pro- cession, when it set nearly 12 hours later d thousand miles of people would still be waiting to see Irving.
 ''They would stretch 12,000 miles, allowing the low average of 5000 for each performance.
 And of all the millions of peo- pie who saw him. concluded Mr. Stoker, ''there was not one who did not take away some noble thought"

GRANDMOTHER'S VIEW.

"There is a certain exquisite flat tery in our grandchildren's com pany. Betty loves everything I do. 1 seem to her witty, accomplished, and gifted. More than this, she treats me as an equal. She is ignor- ant of draughts, she is not afraid all the time that I am going to tire n.y. self out. In a word, she doesn't know that when she comes to see me she comes into the Land of Old Age. For all Betty does for me l try to repay her by indulgences of all sorts-sometimes by forbidden indulgences. For these I get mild ly scolded, but l keep right on. l have yet to hear of boy who grew up a bad man because of the little indulgences his grandfather show cred on him, nor of one who grew up a dyspeptic because of the sur reptitious cookies his grandmother gave him.

OLD ENGLISH FAIR.

The Nottingham (England) goose fair was held recently. This insti- tuition, which is so old that his torians confess themselves unable to fix the date of its origin, was for merly devoted mainly to business, and covered a period of nine days. The volume of business dwindled in modern times until in 1876 it was decided that five days was quite enough, and in 1880 the period was further reduced to three days. The fun of the fair, however, grew with the decline of business, and now 1t is almost the whole thing. Farm animals are still sold on the out skirts of the city, but the extensive market-place is given over wholly to shows and amusements.

WIDOWS FAITHFUL SONS.

A rare example of filial faithful ness came to light at recent meet ing of the Dunmow board of guard ians. A widow, age 92, named Maria Unwin, of Thaxted, was re- ported to have been maintained vol untarily by her three sons, all of them septuagcnarians, one of whom, a working cooper of Romford, wrote to say that he and his brother were still at work, and intended to con- tribute toward their mothers main tenance. The board commended the aged sons for their conduct and granted the old dame 2s and lot per week.-London Telegraph.

PLEASED THE BISHOP.

Bishop Potter relates that on the first occasion when he visited Bishop Eastburn, Phillips Brooks predeces- sor as bishop of Massachusetts, Bishop Eastburn, after dinner, fid- geted a little, glancing at the side board. Bishop Potter's father had been well known as stern oppo- nent of the use of tobacco. But presently Bishop Eastburn rushed to the sideboard and got a box of cigars, at the same time remark ing, lugubriously: ''Dr. Potter, l presume that you don't smoke ?" 'NWhenever l get a chance 1 do," answered Potter. Whereupon Bish- op Eastburn's face broadened into a smile, and he exclaimed: Thank God! l was afraid you had in- herited the detestable prejudices of vour father"
