1.-THE Devil.

Henry w. Savage's version of this fam.
Gus German drama, translated and adapted
by Oliver Herford, and presented by
James d. Barton & Co., was seen and
heard in the auditorium Tuesday even
ing by fair sized audience. 1t is a nov
city in its line, the plot assuming that
Satan himself appears in the person Of a
man to tempt young artist and another
mans wife to illicit love. 1t is very in
genious and the part of the Devil who
goes by the name of DR.. Miller, was clev-
erly interpreted by Ramsey Wallace. The
other actors, and in fact the other roles,
are OF moderate Importance. Elizabeth
Wilkes as Elsa Berg, an heiress, was per
haps the best. The Devil was very suave.
very convincing and very persistent in
his efforts to ensare the young people
even against their will and judgment, and
finally succeeded The play points an OBJ
vious moral to those who are looking for
moral, which is that the best way to
keep out of temptation is to keep out of
temptation and it is never safe to take
any chances with the Devil or with what
we ordinarily call Chance. The audience
seemed to appreciate the play and the
way it was presented, especially the lead
ing part.

An Excellent Waitress.

Nurses in training have many hard.
ships to bear, but perhaps none Is
worse than having to appear cheerful
under all conditions. A sense of hu.
NOR is perhaps as great an asset as
a nurse can have, for II will help her
over many q difficulty.
The daughter of a wealthy man be-
came imbued with the desire to know
how to earn her own living, and to
that end she entered one of the large
New York hospitals as nurse. The
work was to her liking, and, as she
looked on the bright side of every
thing, she was generally in a happy
frame Of mind. Her particular pet
was an old and illiterate sea cap
tain, who was in the surgical ward
with broken arm which would not
knit. He was cheerful old fellow,
and his droll remarks gained for him
the good will Of everybody. One day
when the nurse had paid him some
little attention. he said with an ap.
preciative smile:
Miss L. is the best waitress I ever
had!"

PORTABLE SOURCE OF WEALTH.


While the scarcity of currency
caused the substitution in pay envel-
opes Of gold coins for bills pleasant
and profitable habit which Is said to
be in vogue out west, where gold is
always more In use than in the east,
is understood to have found much
favor here.
The nature of this is suggested In
q question which a New Yorker who
was away. out west near Detroit or
Denver or somewhere In the neighboY-
hood recently put to a native.
"Why is It," he asked, that every
man see out here always has his
hand on his waistcoat pocket and
every. little while takes a long turn at
rubbing 1t gently?"
That's his gold dust factory" was
the answer. HE has that pocket lined
with emery paper and keeps a gold
coin in 1t all the time. He renews the
coin occasionally and then every three
months or SO he cleans out the pocket
very carefully and sells the dust. He

Bristoi's New Docks.

Bristol, England. is rejoicing over
the completion of perhaps the finest
dock and port facilities in the world.
1t is hoped that the new equipment
will make her the English port of the
fast mail service between England and
America. She has unrlvalled natural
advantages In this respect The test
Of this service is the quickest time
between New York and the general
postofilce in London, and as Bristol
is only two hours by rail from London
and is several hours nearer Ito New
York by sea than Liverpool. she has
superior claims to the selection. Ply.
mouth is no nearer New York and the
rail journey from Plymouth to Lon
don is between four and FIVE hours
The new dock is SIS feet long and 10C
feet broad and will easily accommo
date much larger boat than the two

tionate scale, and this historic port
with record Of more than thousand
