THEATRICAL
 CHATTER

ment "We took apartments on lit- tie stub-end street running off the Strand. It was a fashionable street | itself, but right next to 1t as Is usual in London, there were squalid lodgings and pubs, where wretched gin-drink- ing women leered the incoming sail | ors.
 Now, I was just a kid. full of the joy of life and all that, and intense ly interested in all the novel foreign ideas and manners on tap. No young ! .ster was ever more anxious to see anu learn.
 '''I used to get up early in the morl- ing and go down on the Strand and take walk And so, one morning, l encountered one of these wretched women.
 "S'y, lydey,' she croaked in the pe- cullar, dry voice you hear nowhere else in the world but from the London coster woman, int ye got penny?
 Yes, had penny, and my curlos- ity was stronger than my aversion. questioned her and made her walk uOWH lO tue StTduu allu tdhB "uih with me. She told me her name was Ann. She told me of the wreck of her life and all her unhappy story. Poor Ann.. She was twenty-two, though she looked thirty-five. met her often and we walked down the Strand together. My mother saw us and was scandalized.
 That woman was the original Nancy Sykes. Although I saw her many times, the picture she made that first morning impressed itself so deep ly on my brain that I shall never for get 1t. That first morning l caught her peculiar, throaty, croaking vo.ce- caused by drinking gin all night. l believe tbay you will find that voice nowhere else in the world. for nos where else do you find exactly such causes Another trick I learned from her, the peculiar sidewise moistenlng of the gin-dried lips.
 Tt was fifteen years later that used this impression. I made Nancy Sykes as photographic an impression as I could of this poor creature. l was criticized for making her too base, but I did not exaggerate sln- gle detail of voice or acting or make up or business"

Hot or Cold Water,

It is a debatable question whether it is wise practice to drink cupful of hot water immediately upon rising every morning. The hot-water fiends fancy that they cannot live without their morning drink, but there are re liable physicians who claim that this practice is facilitating to the stomach and that 1t cannot fail to do injury. The habitual use of cold water is an excellent habit to form. It is natural to drink cold water. Cold water is a tonic to. the stomach. as it is to the skin. It gives tonicity to the mucous walls of the stomach. The practice of taking five or six glasses of cold water a day is a good one. It will help to clear the complexion. brighten the eyes, and is said to be almost a cer- tain remedy for puffness under the eyes.

LEW DOCKSTADER.

Lew Dockstader, who comes to Polls Tuesday night, and who may fair ly be said to stand at the very highest among the minstrel performers of thls country superintends every minute de- tail of his organization. Not only every act and song and dance is under his watchful eye, but he also gives his personal attention to the construction, painting and arrangement of all the stage setting and scenery. This Is no small affair, for Mir Dockstader's company is the only minstrel combna- ton which plays the first-class heaters and the general scenic environment for his performances demand consllera- ton not entailed upon the lesses min strel companies.
 During a conversation with Nil Dockstader recently regarding aaffirs of minstrelsy, he said:
 Without wishing to detract In the slightest from the famous minstreI performances of the past, it can. be honestly stated that there is no com. parison between minstre!sy of to-day | very much like the presentation of the Shakesperean drama without scenery in the olden time as contrasted with the superb presentation of the great bard's plays to-day.
 Tt is naturally source of pride to me that my minstrel company should be the only one in this or arg other country to play the first-class theaters, where my engagements are apt to b. sandwlehed iu between an engagement of the Sothern-Marlowe company. or Maude Adams and a grand opera company. This dstinc- ton brings with it peculiar respousi- Utilities. for I have learned that my public demands the same elaborate and artistic scenic environment If Wy acts. that they do of the big projuc- tions of the drama.
 This has brought abOut the great change from the presentation of the minstrel acts in the past. The stage settings to-day must be beautiful ar tistic and picturesque. The sane scene painters and builders who di1 most of the work of Ben Hur" have prepared my production for this sea- son. The costuming must be rich. elegant and tasteful as that of the biggest operstic productions and ali the details of electric nghtlng and stage properties must be up t0 the same high standard. !"

BULL RING PACKED
 DEADLY COMBAT MADE
RulI Enters First Followed ey Buffalo Which Was
 Combatant

JuARn1, Mex, Feb, t,-The Jas. res bull ring was packed to its utmost capacity by people eager to see the much vauateo huffaie-euil contest es . deadly combat between two eleoa- thirsty animals. This is how the cozn. bat came oG. Enter Mir, Bull. who promptly retired to hia corner, and received the preliminary attention of his seconds. The hanale came In uns nstentatiousg. selected smooth spot and began to roll In the dust, After the two had gone through some preliminary motions they advanced to the middle of the ring and locked horns. Then each retired to his cor ner and the concentrated efforts of some dozen Mexicans, armed with bikes, who prodded both beasts, brought them into the glare of the calcium for another brief mixup. All the while the public waited patiently as his bullship chewed the cud of con temptation in one corner, and his. lord ship. the buffalo, widowed in the dirt, ever and anon arousing his royal self enough to administer a kick of su- preme disgust at the men who were attempting to remove his lethargy with prods from a steel-pointed pole. Then the crowd gradually drtfted away, while the united efforts from matador, picadores, banderil1os, and tame bulls removed the animals from the ring.
 The introductory bull fight was un- deserving the name. The veriest tyro of a matador tried again and again to kill the. first bull, without success, evidently afraid to get near enough to stick the sword. Finally the initial performance was called off and the bull was let out of the ring.
 The second animal hoodooed the matador more than the first. In a nasty retreat the swordsman leaped the enclosing fence, and the bull fol- lowed. Both fell together, and the audience arose en masse to see wheth- CT the man had been killed. When he got up unhurt the audience sighed not entirely with pleasure at his es- cape.
 The third bull was Killed by Cuco, who, while he Is not as graceful as Phoebus Apollo, generally succeeds In sticking the sword where 1t will do some good. And in appreciation of his work the crowd threw enough silver and gold into the ring to fill the matadOrs hat

ACQUITTED OF cRuELTlEs.

CAPE MAY COURTHOUSE, N. J., Feb. 1.--Janes Mister Brown, who was accused of feeding his children on shark meat and with keeping them out In the cold half-clothed, on the plea that such treatment was good for their health, WAS convicted here this afternoon of cruelty.
 The verdict was rendered by a jury of eleven men, the twelfth juror. Frederick Boerner, having been or dered from the jury box by the court, after having attempted to pass a note to the defendants counsel.
 The jury acquitte: brown of the two charges of assault, confining his guilt only to the six counts against him for cruelty.
 James Mister Brown practically ad- mitted the charges. but denied that his treatment was cruel.
 Brown is as fine a specimen of phy- sicai manhood as one could meet, and the giving of his testimony was marked by intelligence and honesty.
 Christopher Benthal a life-saving patrolman, recounted his horror at seeing Brown take his boys into the sea naked in the middle of Noyem- Der. Herbert Smith, an experienced bcatman, testified that sometimes when Brown took his boys out to sea in small boat the weather was such as to keep all other boats inside the beach.
 Rose Ward, the colored cook In the Brown domicile, kept the courtroom in an uproar. She says the family was well provided with food. at all times. ,- sen asked about the shark pe. she told how 1t was made, bDi said she never ate any Of 1t. There were other things she liked better When asked what variety of shark it was made from, she said:
 "No variety; just plain shark" Asked If the children were clothed witness said:,
 'Yes there Is cartload of clothes there now; so many that they are in my way"
 A doctor testified that all six of the children were abnormal, probably from their treatment

JOHN D. HAS A NEW WIG.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 30.-John D. Rockefeller's latest wig, smartly patterned after the most approved French fashion, is held up in the GUS toms cfiice for appraisement. It Is a fine specimen of the wigmaker's art, the hair long, soft and of. q glossy gray.
 It was ordered last summer when Rockefeller was abroad. According to the invoice it reached America re gently on the steamer La Provence from Havre. It's maker in Paris, for the re9uirements of it's shipment, placed upon it the modest value. of five francs. Evidently it was paid for in advance. When it reached the customs office yesterday Joseph T. Ball, a clerk, looked at the invoice suspiciously.
 ~Hum," he unused doubtfuliy. That is cheap wig for the great John D. Rockefeller"
 Later he called up Minor G. Nor ton. local customs appraiser, and re- ferred the matter to him Norton made some inquiries of local hair dressers They were unanimous in the opinion that 1t would be cheap at s75. Most of them were inclined to a higher valuation. All were indignant at Rockefeller's lack of appreciation of home industry.
 No appraisement has been made as yet. Norton will Inspect the offerings of the local hair dressers and com pare their work with the wig of Rock efeller before he passes judgment Meanwhile John D. will have to wor. " along with the old wig.
