Victims OF Fashion.

Doctors have recently testified, with
rather an unusual degree of .unanim-
ity, that women in these days do not
dress warmly enough; that s neuras-
thenia is often the result sof wearing
clothing of Insult eceitn thickness Tt 81
not poverty, they say, but style that
causes the difficulty Women can not
initiate the sylph like maiden OF the
fashion plate and wear heavy under
wear and thick dresses. Fashion,
with beautiful disregards for the
changing seasons demands gauzy
stockings, low shoes, ID ecollete gowns
and short sleeves. The result Is too
often pneumonia or an exhaustion of
vitality and nerve force In the effort
to keep warm. 3ssss
This criticism sounds amazingly
like good common sense. w oman may

A Gentleman Farmer

I
 E.. B. Miner lives on farm near Oris- When he moved to the farm he noticed that Oriskany creek, if damned at cer- tain place, would produce a six-foot water fall. He built a dam. and put in a water wheel--a saO0 turbine that yielded 20 horse power. Over the water wheel he built a power house in which he placed dyna- mo for the water wheel to run. The elec- tricity was wired TOO feet to the farm buildings.
 Mir. Miner had imagination. He put his electricity to work in every possible place about the premises. He heated and light ed the house with electricity; did the cooking with electricity; did the washing and ironing with electricity, beat eggs and at three different speeds, too-with electricity; turned the ice cream freezer with electricity, and, in summer ventil- ated the house with electric fans.
 Nor is that all. Electricity working through a vacuum milking-machine milks 2e cows, two at time; drives the cream separator churns, pumps water into ev- cry room in the house and into the stall of each horse and COW; drives lathes and drills in workshop; drives a circular saw to cut cordwood; drives an ensilage cut ter The water wheel and the dynamo runs weeks at a time without attention Rather than be bothered to go to the wheel house and shut off the water Mr. Miner installed a device that causes the current. when not in use, to enter resist ance-coils, from which it is dssipated in the form of heat.

BunaIo's Home for Cnta

From the BuualO NeWS.
 Buffalo has something that probably other city in the country possesses--a C
 hotel All persons having feines whic, they desire to have a refined bringing up, send them to this boarding house on Hoyt street. The cat quarters are fur nished excellently, the walls being pa- pered, and the building itself containing a sun parlor, a dining room and sleeping quarters. This cat apartment house Is constructed mostly of glass, excepting the rear wall and the roof, which are tar papered. At the preesnt time 14 beauti- ful, soft coated cats can be seen on the prenises dozing in the sunlight or frisk- ing playfully with each other.
 Every day now as the air grows more wintry, the fur of these boarders grows heavy and more glossy. The speciality of this hotel is Angora. But even the thick fur Of the Angoras cannot prevail against the ever increasing chill of the atmosphere, and of late the tabbies and tomnies have preferred remaining in their comfortable house.
 At the present time the little proprie- ,ress of the hotel Is caring for small Angora and her two kittens. Nearly $50 has been spent on Beauty, the mother cat for doctor bills. Goats milk is their main diet. It cost 30 cents pint, which for 9 cat is an exceedingly high priced meal.
 Another beautiful cat is Cinders. whose aristocratic bearing would do credit to a king. Cinders soft. thick fur has many colors. He is beautiful and he knows it.

 The play marked the return of Mrs. Patrick Campbell to Broadway. after an absence of several seasons. She appeared in the role of Fanny Ar | maury. but lacked the necessary ele- ment of naturalness to make her part effective.
 The other members of the cast were none too convincing. Adelaide Nowak, As the dukes daughter, acted well enough, but lacked physical distinc- tion, while Robert Drouet was a sad figure as the husband
 "The Imposter" After a years absence from Broad way, which has been spent for the greater part In the New Theatre com pany, Annie Russell has returned and despite the himsiness of her vehicle. her welcome was most hearty. Miss Rus sell has a personal charm which al ways ensures a big following.
 Her new play, The Imposter," three-act comedy by Leonard Merrick and Michael Morton, has considerable sentiment but lacks strength, due to its many improbabilities.
 It is about the hypocrisy of a mid dle class English family compared with the forced deceit of a destitute young woman and the straightforwardness of a Canadian farmer.
 A sort of a bounder bank clerk named Charles Owens, husband of the daughter of famous bank president, meets the destitute young woman, Mary Fenton, in front of his hotel and out of the kind ness of his heart invites her inside for some food and the loan of s5 Not con tent with being kind. the gentleman must make love to her. even after he has heard her story of her struggles to make a liv- ing, and his intentions cause the return of the f5 and the insistance that the room door be left open.

 She stays week at the Walfords, be- cause the uncle has a railway scheme to put through and he wants the bankers help. Then the kind young man returns He denounces her as an imposter, but the Canadian farmer, Blake, in love with her already, finds out the true story con founds his hypocritical parents and de- parts into the night on the trail of the young woman, with the intention of mals- ing her marry him and go to Canada and the wheat fields with him.

"Drfftlng''


 The society woman, who refuses 10 have babies, and spends her time drink ing cocktails and playing bridge, is a familiar figure on the New York stage, so familiar, in fact, that she is becoming tiresome Accordingly, MT. Preston Gib- son can lay no claim to originality in selecting the subject for his new play, Drifting, which recently had its pre- mier at the NaZimova theatre. MT. Gibson has made Newport the scene of his story and his characters are | a wealthy. middle-aged mine owner, his young and unsophisticated wife, a semi | adventures of the society type with large l debts on her hands, and one of those in I determinate creatures with a masculane name found in plays. The adventures | for her own ends, teaches the young wife | to smoke, drink and gamble and the other person uses his skill to entice her away from her husband. The adventures has borrowed money on the prospects of mar rying the mine owner, and now that he has married some one else, she is obliged to bring the wife into such position that the husband may be persuaded to divorce her, because the man who loaned her the money insists on being paid back. The husband finds his wife being em- braced by the man, leaves the house comes back and discovers the wife about

 AS a drawing room conversationalist, MT. Gibson has considerable ability, and his play reflects ita There are some bright, witty sayings and plenty of words. But 1t takes something else besides words to make a play, and this "something" is what MT. Gibson's play lacks. It begins nowhere, 1t ends nowhere. The feeble framework crumbes with the first volley of dialogue.
 As a dramatst MT. Gibson has dis played some ability. but his system of construction bears the earmarks of the amateur.
 The cast is better than the play, Edith Luckett is very charming in the role of the young wife and deserves a better part. Walter Hale plays the earnest hus- band with good effect The best acting is furnished by Mrs. Sam Cothern as Althea Anderson, the adventures, but her sue cess was due, in a measure, to the fact that she had the best role in the piece.

WEEKLY THEATRICAL LETTER
BY EMORY B. CALVERT

New York, December 31-(Special)- The holiday season has brought along several new productions, few of which possess genuine merit. One notable ex- oeption, however, is "Pomander Walk" a quaint English comedy, that slipped into Wallacks theatre almost unan- nounced. But it was discovered after one performance, and is now outbidding its older competitors on the Gay White Way in popularity.
 Fred Terry and Julia Nelson, who have been appearing in repertoire at the knickerbocker theatre. have returned to ing occupied by Mrs. Patrick Campbell in a new piece called "The Foolish vir- sin,' which has not shown signs of a very long life.
 Conan Doyle's thriller, ''The Speckled Band has left the Garrick theatre for more welcome climes. and Miss Annie Russell is entertaining the audience at this house In new piece of mediocre quality called 'The Imposter.'
 Drifting" new play by Preston Gib- son, has all the symptoms of brief ex- istence, despite the heroic efforts of a good cast.
 Among the notable revivals are that of Old Heidelberg" at the New theatre Secret Service" with Gillette in the leading role, at the Empire theatre and the Shakespearean productions by Soth- ern and Marlowe at the Broadway the atre.
 Sarah Bernhardt completes her New York engagement at the Globe theatre tonight, and 1t is safe to say that it has been one of the most successful in the actress long career. at least from financial standpoint
