Miss Angln's new departure is a treat
indeed. It deserves liberal praise. and VIII

lie, and will receive that. too. 1t is worth
while adventuring on stormy nights TO see
such acting as hers and Reeves-Smith's in
Green Stockings" OF few stage enter
tainments can so much be said. But here
is one that every spectator will wish TO see
twice, at least. Miss Anglin has found
new line OF expression, and is TO be con-
graduated upon the consequences Ana her
selection OF an actor of such quality as
Reeves-Smith for the opposite part SAYS
much for her sagacity. This pair OF play
ers should remain long together for IN
series OF plays embodying in high degree
the best spirit OF comedy they would draw
the playgoers OF this continent 10 their
doors. Cordial as their welcome was last
night. Il was surpassed by the en-
thusiastc applause which rewarded their
delightful acting. Miss Anglin deserves
more than praise for the entertainment she
now offers 10 the public-she IL entitled 10
thanks. 1t is not every day that the play
going public has the opportunity TO pay
tribute 10 the true comic spirit. A. w.

VENETIAN KEY OF DEATH.
Invention of Unwelcome Suitor
Brought Quick Death to Suitors.

Among the many relics of aniqu-
ity preserved in the arsenal of
Venice there is one to which a pe-
culiar and grewsome interest is at
tached. 1t is heavy key, which to
En outward appearances might have
been fashioned for one of the pom
derous locks of olden times. Yet,
IL tradition is to be believed, it was
designed for a deadly purpose, and
people were slain with it in a swift,
subtle and mysterious manner. 1t is
known. in fact as the Key of Death.
The chronicles OF the city tell
that in the earlier part of the sew
enteenth century a certain stranger
arrived in Venice. a man OF dark
and sinister aspect. His name was
Tebaldo. He seems to have been a
man OF unruly passions, of great in
tellectual power, but one whose
talents found their chief outlet in
crime. In Venice he established
Himself as merchant or
trader. For a time his passions lay
dormant. They were aroused, how
ever, in a stormy manner. which
caused him to sweep from his path
all who sought to oppose him.
One day he observed a beautiful
girl leaving church, attended in a
manner which showed that she be-
ionged to a family of high degree.
She was, in fact, the daughter of an
ancient and noble house, one which
had long held foremost rank in Ven
ice. He fell violently in love with
her. Though far removed from him
in station, his blind passion took no
count of this fact, and he determin-
ed to sue for her hand. There
proved to be, however, a more in
superable obstacle to his suit. The
girl was already betrothed to an
ether, young nobleman of almost.
equal rank and fortune. The
knowledge did not deter Tebaldo,
who boldly presently himself before
the girls parents in the capacity of
a suitor for her hand. AS might
have been expected he met with a
curt and unceremonious rebuff.
The repulse ranked in his mind.
Enraged beyond measure, he shut
himself up in his house and there
secretly studied a means of revenge.
profoundly skilled in the mechanical
arts, he allowed himself no rest un
til he had invented a most formid-
able and death-dealing weapon. This
was large key, the handle of
which was SO constructed that il
could not be turned at will. When
1t was thus turned secret spring
was disclosed, which on being press
ed' launched from the key heel
fine needle or lancet. The latter
