An American player who fulfilled several London engagements under the late Sir Henry Irving tells story of c young man employed as the tragedian's dresser when Irving was the lessee of the Lyceum theater. The young fellow had been recommended for the place by Ciarkson, the celebrated wigmak- CT. Irving was as exacting in matters of makeup as he was in everything else relating to stage equip lent, and he succeeded in tmpressing Clarkson with deep sense of responsibility.
 Shortly after his entering upon his new duties Clarkson called upon his former employee. As Clarkson had noticed that he did not get as many orders for wigs from Irving as he for merlys did, he had begun to suspect that the dresser was accountable.
 Are you making Sir Henry's wigsr' C1arkson demanded without prelimi- nary.

 Do you call that a wig7" sneered the caller, pointing to an article on the dressing table. "Do you mean to tell me that you believe that thing looks at all like a wig?"
 'Nn. sir, don't" hotly replied the dresser, now considerably frritated, "but do mean to say as how it looks like the air of the 'uman 'eadr'-St. Paul Pioneer Press. -s.,

Character of the Montenearin..

Character of the Montenegrina.
 Nowhere is love of country more in- tense than among the Montenegrins, to whom exile is the greatest of punish ments. When MT. W. J. Stillman was there in the seventies all the free men were away fighting, and he observed how, when a messenger was wanted, the official took a man out of the prison and sent him off, with no fear that he would not return. One such messenger was sent to Cattaro, in Austrian terri tory, with 5000 forins for the bank, and duly came back. Another asked a Russian at Cattaro to tntercede with Prince Nicholas for his release from prison. "But you are not in prisonr' said the Russian. "Oh," said the man, q have only come down for a load of skins for So-and-so, but I must go into prison again when I get back to Cet1nje." One guard watched all the prisoners when they stunned them selves out of doors, and if he were called away a prisoner would take his rifle and do duty for the time-London Chronicle

TAX ON
 COTTON STOCKINGS

Tho House committee. on Ways and hGeang held a session Saturday for of the pending tariff bill, but did not take action upon the grow 1Sg popular demand for a withdrawal of fne proposed heavy increase of the karif duties on cotton stockings. It n urged against this increase that the stocking trust now in progress of or wanixation will be greatly aided there by, that while the bill increases the tax Dn cotton stockings it leaves silk stock tneu untouched and that the increase the cost of every man, woman and Ichi1d except those pecuniarily able to
 wear silk stockings.
 Stocking manufacture is not an in 6ant industry and does not need cod tdling. The manufacturers produce S5 per cent. of the country's consumption, hnd their employees earn from s25 to 635 a week. These employees will re- Eeive no part of the increased price due to the increased duty: it will sim ply increase the profits of the manu- kacturers.
 This increase of duty appears to be wholly indefensible. Yet it may serve one good purpose, viz, call feminine attention to the enormities of many fariff duttes. The women of the land have not studied the tariff question and do not understand how largely it touches their interests. This stocking Huty will bring it home to them, and khedr influence, when exerted, will be
 very considerable. Thousands of them arc now moving, but the Ways and Means committee still clings firmly to tho increased duty.

The Hartford Courant anta gonizes the '-spftting bill'' which has passed both Senate and House but was so amsnded in the latter as to require ac- tion again by the Senate. It is so comprehensive and drastic that it's en- forcement would probably be in spots only, and it would soon become "dead letter." The Courant opposes the measure as likely to be disregarded or, if enforced at all, it would be used for b1ackmai1 and persecution In its present form it could not be enforced with impartiality without increasing heavily the police force of every city.

Here Is a Case
Where a Penny
Made S.

A. Penny came into the polics
station last night and this morn
ing the city treasurer is richer
by IS on that account. Clerk
Hackett of the police court was
puzzled for several moments this
morning when he opened an en-
velope marked "a. Penny" and
found the IS gold piece. The en-
velope was sent up by the jaller
at the police station and Hackett
looked two or three times to
make sure that 1t wasn't a penny.
He then looked over the trial
sheet, and 1t all became clear. A.
Penny was the name of man ar
rested last night for being drunk,
and he deposited IS bail money.
But IS was apparently nothing to
A. Penny, and he didn't show up
in court this morning, FORGETTING
his bail.
