NEWS OF THE THEATERS TUM) STDIIY OF DEATH FOR THIS I'llICC OF A DIUNK. FirhnnKf f Aclorn by America and Fnghuid Vnrlcty und Melodrama Her To-Day. Last Friday morning the New York Morning Telegraph printed a story of the death of Ada Gray. The Associated Press sent the news over the country, because of the fact that thousands of people had goen Miss (Jray play L.ady Isabel in "Fast Lynne." She had been ill for many months. Friday afternoon an Associated Press dispatch saJd a reporter had seen Miss Gray and she had told him that she had not felt better In months. Since then Leander Richardson, a prominent New York writer of theatrical news, has explained the mistake in hid paper, the Telegraph, as follows: "The actress known as Ada Gray, In addition to being fatally 111, possesses a husband named Charles F. Tingay, who might yesterday have congratulated himself upon having broken all records in the matter of heartless hoaxes in a successful effort to raise the sum of 10 cents unless, indeed, ho possesses a singularly lifelike "double." "Mr. Tingay. or his image, appeared in the Morning Telegraph ollice on Thursday, somewhat the worse for wear, but still able to assume a feeling of profound grief, lie stated that ho had been up all nicht at the bedside of his beloved wile, and that she had expired only an hour or so prior to his down-town visit. "The alleged 21r. Tingay was ready and Willing to convey the details, not only of the sad scene surrounding Mrs. Tingay's demise, but also of her career on the stage, with many years of which he had been associated. He wept with great fluency and volume over his bereavement, told how weary he was by reason of his protracted vigil, and finally discovered that through Inadvertence he was short to the extent of 10 cents, the sum necessary to ?ay his car-fare to hi3 home In Coney sland. "The heart of the Telegraph man promptly responded to the pathos of the situation, and he handed over the amount mentioned. Mr. Tingay, or the person who said he was Mr. Tingay, with profuse thanks and assurances that he would return the little sum. left the office, and an account of Ada Gray's life and death was In due course written and published. Tt then turned out that the actress wras not dead at all, and the deduction was formed .that the supposititious Mr. Tingay had deliberately told this lie for the sole purpose of raising the price of a drink." Special Train for Dramatic Critics. The theatrical reporters of New York have been Invited to go to Philadelphia to see a special performance of Leo Ditrichftein's new play, -The Last Appeal," on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 12. They will be carried on a special train, which will bear, besides the newspaper men, goodly quantities of cigars and champagne. It is impossible to predict what effect the special train and the cigars and champagne will have on the stories printed in the New York papers about Mr. Ditriehstein's new play the theatrical writers of New York are so shifty. Five years ago Fanny Davenport took the New York writers to Boston on a special train to see the first performance of her "Joan of Arc." At the Park and I'mplre To-Day. The Park and Empire theaters will be crowded, as they always are on Labor day, at both afternoon and night performances to-day. The Park will offer a melodrama by Lincoln J. Carter. "The.

riioF. w. J. m';kks papfii aroisks SOME DISCISSION.

Yie-rr Miprrpd by the Pastors of Some of the Local Churches The Bible Story. The paper read before the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Denver, Col., last week by Prof. W. J. McGee on "Current Questions in Anthropology" has caused considerable discussion among Indianapolis ministers. In his paper Professor McGee said that for centuries students had adhered to the supposition that mankind had sprung from a common parentage. Modern research had shattered this theory. He said it must be apparent that the negro, the Mongolian, the Malay, and the Caucasian could not have descended from the same pair. He said there must have been several couples. xxx Discussing the Adam and Eve theory yesterday the Rev. IL C. Meserve, of Plymouth Church, said: "It is difficult to see how anyone who has followed the trend of Bclentiüc thought for the last fifty years and noticed the bases on which the conclusions (so far as they are conclusions) rest, can fail to have a sympathetic interest, at least, in the careful and reverential spirit which dominates the investigations. It has been demonstrated, beyond a peradventure, that the conclusions as to Adam and Eve have been the logical result of the evolutionary theory. 1 am surprised that what I suppose was a casual statement of a scientist made within the limits of a convention of his kind should have made any stir at all, so broadly are the facts to which he called attention accepted, not only in the scientific world, but by the majority of student preachers (not pulpiteers.) So far as the Biblical account is concerned, this is not affected one way or the other. The early chapters of Genesis are folklore tales and do not purport to be history (authentic) at all. Adam is not the name of an individual but a generic name to distinguish him from the beasts. "It makes no difference to us whether he was the first man or the result of an evolution (which he was), and Milton will read Just as finely and the fact of sin be Just aa real and the need of redemption just as apparent as though Adam and Eve were the first pair, and the drama of the fall still held true along with Usher's chronology and the single authorship of the Pentateuch. "Meantime we appreciate the fine humor of the. editor of the Journal and trust that he may long be spared to us, to relievo us from the terrors of theology and the onslaughts of 'pulpiteers. " xxx "The modern theory of evolution offer a substitute for the Adam and Eve of the old conception," paid Rev. A. R. Philputt, of the Central Christian Church. "The question as to whether the human race has descended from one pair or sprung from different localities is one that science Is not yet clear upon. Logical reasoning does not regard evolution as incompatible with orthodox faith. It modifies it. It is entirely inconsistent, with a belief in a Christian religion to hold that God took the process of evolution rather than outline creation to make a man. The scientific theory of evolution does'not destroy a faith in God and religion." xxx Rev. T. J. Villers. of the First Baptist Church, said: "I prefer to take God's word rather than mere speculation. I hold by the Old Hook. This is about all I have to say regarding the Question of Adam and AC. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Dr. O. B. Pettljohn and family will return from a western trip the first of the week. Mr. M. A. Gilkinson and wife, of San Francisco, are visiting the former's father at 2KS Broadway.

Indianapolis Journal. SULLIVAN, Ind.. Sept. 1. The marriage of J. Harvey Crowder and Miss Maude Moser took place this evening at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. E. G.

He served several terms as councilman. Mr. Sample was married four times. His widow and one of his former wives reside in this city. The remainder are dead. Mr. Sample's death recalls a sad story. His third wife was a Miss Allmon, a handsome young woman, of Louisville. A son was bom to them, and grew to the age of eight years, when his parents separated and were divorced. The divorced wife moved to Louisville, taking her son with her. A year later her friends were startled one day when it was learned that she had poisoned the little boy and attempted to take her own lifo. She was successful in killing her little son. but she recovered. A few months later, however, she again took poison and died as a result. Mr. Sample was at one time very wealthy, but after settling a nice sum on each of his divorced wives, little of his estate remained, although his widow will be left in comfortable circumstances. Of a quiet, retiring nature Mr. Sample was liked by every one and ho numbered his friends by the score. Two Hancock County Pioneers. Sreclal to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD. Ind.. Sept. 1.

The World's Washington correspondent says: "Owlnsr to his unaccountable delay i.i remitting', the postal authorities, a few days ago, asked John W. Roner, postmaster at Elizabethtown. Ind., for a settlement. Today the postmaster general received both money and an explanation. The money was in a stout canvas sack, which came by express. Acting Postmaster General Johnson 'hefted' the sack. It was about all he cared to lift. In it he found only pennies. Mr. Boner wrote that there were 3.100 of them, the amount due. He explained that he had not sent them sooner because it would cost the government just as much to have 3.1UU transported as 3,5) or 3,GoO, as the express company would not make a rate for the exact weight of the 3.1. "Mr. Johnson will turn the pennies over to the third assistant postmaster general. That official will, with great ceremony, deliver them to some one in the Treasury Department. After many yards of red tape have been unwound and many transfers made, the pennies will get to Treasurer Roberts. Then Postmaster Boner will receive a receipt, likewise a reprimand from the department for employing such an unusual method of settling his account."

Electric Itoad SurTeyed. Epeclal to the Indlanapclis Journal. VALPARAISO. Ind., Sept. 1. A party of surveyors, composed of W. H. Rosecrans and W. G. Salter, of the engineering firm of Rosecrans & Salter, Chicago; R. H. Baldwin and Le Roy Hennessy, has finished the survey of an electric railway to be built from Indiana Harbor to Michigan City. The engineers are In the employ of the Chicago & Indiana Air-line Railway Company, the members of which are Cleveland capitalists and the movers in the construction of the proposed railway. The length of the route is 30 miles and Is close to the lake shore. Work on the line has already commenced at the harbor on the line and the entire road will be rushed to completion. It is not improbable that the road will connect with another from the east. This company has no connection with the Valparlso, Michigan City & Chicago Railway, which has franchises in Lake, Porter and Laporte counties. Itlnknrd Hopes to Eiraps Death. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Sept. 1.

A QUESTION SUGGESTED HY OUR CROWIXG PROSPERITY.

Millionaire Cannot Spend More Than They Are Now DoIng-Eren Lnxury Has a Limit. "Old New Yorker," in New York Sun. It is evident that wo have entered upon a period in which fortunes are to be erected and extended on a scale of magnificence never before attained in this country nor even paralleled anywhere else in the world in modern times. In succesion to the millionaire the billionaire is now to be ushered in as a personage in our society. The social "functions" which dazzled our imaginations In other days have been made to seem poor and petty by the side of the grandeur of appointment and entertainment which has now succeeded them. Feminine toilets which then were our admiration as costly and tasteful are made cheap and tawdry beside the ball costumes of this time. Fare which was regarded as luxurious then would be looked on as only frugal now. I remember when the daughter of a well-known family of New York received $100,000 as her dot the whole of the fashion of the town was stirred by the report of such magnificence. And well It might be, for then a fortune of that amount was accounted large. Now, I am not complaining of the present accumulation of wealth and the growth of the grandeur of the society of this time, for I do not forget that meantime the whole standard of material comfort In New York has gone up correspondingly. Conveniences denied to the rich fifty and sixty years ago are now enjoyed by the poor. Articles then accounted luxuries for the fortunate only have become commonplace necessaries for all who live in decency now. From a high death rate then sanitary regulation has made New York remarkable among the great cities of the world for its healthfulness. Tenement houses then were wretched habitations. In the old days when St. Mark's place and Second avenue were seats of contemporary wealth and when even about Tompkins Square wero residences relatively stately, there was put up in Eleventh street to the east of Second avenue a row of tenement houses, mere barracks, in which were crowded families of the poor without even the decencies now enforced by law on landlords, and the tilth and almost savage life of those people, their drunkennncss, their car-piercing family brawls husbands beating wives as a dally exercise drove from the neighborhood the very respectable denizens of Tenth street among whom my boyhood was spent. All that has changed. The tenement house now, under the compulsion of drastic law, is a palace comparatively, and markets and groceries in the districts occupied more particularly by the tenement population bear witness to the great improvement In the quality and variety of their food which has taken place since two generations ago. CHANGE OF FASHION. When wealth and fashion moved to Fifth avenue and Murray Hill a generation ago the houses built there for their accommodationwero deemed Imposing residences brownstone, high-stoop and cast-Iron fenced structures, block after block of them, of monotonous builders architecture, so that the "plutocrat" of those days could not distinguish his house from Its neighbors by any outward distinction apparent to a less cultivated eye. You would go to a ciozen "parties" in a winter and in the household appointments amid which they were belt there was almost absolute samercss. A hall, a long "parlor," stuccoed or frescoed ceiling of the barroom type of a lew years ago. and tasteless furniture they were exactly alike; and in all its incidents and accessories ono rarty was simply a repetition of the other, the- supper the iiame, the canvas covering of the lloor of the parlor the same. In those simple days, too. tho costtimes of the women may have seen repeated service with alterations made by the industrious women dressmakers. "Creations" in the way of gowns had not yet come In. How humble and modest In Its requirements fashion was then, and how uncultivated was its taste as compared with the present, is made to appear very strikinglj now when residences which then were relatively palatial are torn down as crude and unsightly structures utterly unfitted in size and anangements for the luxurious and exacting society of these days. In the first place, they are without accommodation for the service now deemed essential. When they were built, two, three or four women servants sufficed for the richest. Men servants, unless a man of all work who attended to the furnace and what not, were almost unknown. Now papers advertising "situations wanted" contain columns of the advertisements of butlers, coachmen, men cooks and valets. The time was when I could count, almost on my fingers, the private carriages in town; now 1 cannot cross Fifth avenue without waiting to slip through an endless procession of stately private equipages. Eight, ten, even twenty servants have become a usual appendage of wealth. 1 went the other day to buy a refrigerator and being in doubt as to the s.-ze I wanted, the proprietor of the shop, himself a man of substance, said, "Of course you have seven or eight servants and therefore you need" such a size. Eeing a humble person who has not advanced with the times, and having no such establishment, I was llattered with the opulent distinction he discovered in my appearance. Rut I bought a smaller refrigerator, after all. LIMIT OF WEALTH AND LUXURY. I write this as an introduction to the question. What is to be the consequence of all this progress in grandeur and when will the limit be reached? Private fortunes are becoming so magnificent that there is nothing material obtainable which they cannot buy without indulging in extravagance relatively to their proportions. One great man of wealth is reputed to have had an income of ;4S,000,000 last year. On its mere income he can maintain a state as great sis that of king or emperor, though such display does not seem to be in accordance with his taste. Relatively to their incomes our very rich men of this time are spending less than did the rich men of the older day. Their household expenditures are not a circumstance for them to consider, so insignificant is the amount as compared with the sum of their resources. They are not as extravagant as is the workman who buys a glass of beer out of his wages. In all New York there is not now a family which spends a great sum proportionately to the great incomes so frequent in the town. Only when they come to die do we find out how vast is the wealth possessed by people of whom we never heard; but I can remember when every very rich man of the town, as we estimated wealth then, was as well known as Trinity steeple. Sons of such men. still among my friends, are living in comparatively humble circumstances, on the outskirts of fashionable districts, yet, after all, they are maintaining a higher standard of expenditure than did their fathers, the foremost examples of the former prosperity. They are surrounded with mere taste and luxury, more substantial comfort; but relatively to the wealth of these days they are poor and their state is modest in the extreme. Almost everybody is poor by the side of the great fortunes of our time, yet those fortunes are now growing at ai rate which makes their most rapid previous accumulation seem slow. Now. what is going to be the end? The limitations possible to luxury must have been reached already or at least closely approached. What more is there for money to buy in that direction? In this country, more especially, what motive is there for regal magnificence? To what use can people put bigger houses than are now built or projected? Society (using the term in its restricted sense borrowed from aristocracies seems to have reached in numbers the limit which makes convenient intercourse possible. The tendency is rather to restriction or to division. How can dinners be made more magniticent than thev have become? Jewels more costly than rubies and diamonds cannot be bought and feminine costumes already exhaust the invention of their 'creators.'' so far as cost goes. More expne. cannot be crowded into houses and entertainment, stables, vachts and retinue. Luxury has reached the limit beyond which It becomes surfeit. To what is it all going to come? Sandals for Children. New York Evening Sun. A farlilonable fancy for children' footwear just now is to shr,e them with sandls.

In sandalism they are not divided, might be the motto of the latter mode. In either case, the strap, be it broad or narrow, passes up the foot and, crossing a crosswise strap, eventually joins a third band at the ankle. The strap passing between the toes is considered the more healthful style, as more nearly approaching the original Roman model. Health is, of course, the object In reviving these well-nigh obsolete articles of footwear. Physicians say that wearing such sandals is the next best thing to going barefooted. There is undoubtedly line chance for ventilation and free play of every joint and muscle two most important things in the development of the foot. It is impossible for a foot trained in sandals, It is said, to be otherwise than graceful. Unfortunately, nlstory fails to tell us whether the ancients who wore sandalp, not alone In childhood, but grew up in them, lived in them, and died in them were plntoed. Buckskin, in tan or white, preferably white, Is the material of the modern sandal. This summer finds them in high vogue, but only, it may be observed, among the children of very fashionable people. Whether the fancy will ultimately descend to all children remains to be seen. TEXT LIFE FOR COXSL3IITIVES. An Experimenter's Notion of Hovr Care .Mar De Effected. Boston Evening Transcript. As soon as the weather 'Kill permit and rroper locations can be '.-lccted there will be pitched near Boston the first of a number of camps for consumptives. This camp (and each succeeding camp will be like It) will consist of ten piano-box tents, arranged in a circle with an open-air tire in the center, and surrounded by a duck wall eight feet high. Each of these tents will be a consumptive's home; a consumptive will sleep there, even through the coldest weather, with no other protection than plenty of felt blankets, felt sleeping boots and a two-gallon jug of hot water. The tents are made of twelve-ounce duck, arc only seven feet high, with four-foot walls, boxed in around the bottom a. foot from the ground. They will be lined with weather paper. The flaps will open towards the tire, the ten tents making a little circle about a clean gravel court. In the duck wall which will surround the whole will be a single entrance. The people who live there will wear one heavy suit night and day. They will each of them take one quick soapless bath a week, and will eat three good hearty meals a day, with coffee in the morning and hot chocolate any time of the day or night. Their bill of fare will include milk, eggs, vegetables, bread and butter and meat chiefly beef, mutton or pork, broiled on spits before the fire, or roasted In the embers, or boiled down into soup. This open life is expected to cure them of their disease. The method is the result of experiments made last winter in a tent on Huntington avenue by a scientist whose name has not yet been divulged. This gentleman pitched his tent during the coldest part of a January which was more than usually cold, and stayed thero until the early spring, engrossed in his exDeriments, but finally seeing patients and announcing that he wanted as many consumptives as possible to prove the truth of his theories. He wants the consumptives still. His theory has been pretty well tested now, but he still wants as many consumptives as will come to him the worse their condition the better to put them in his settlements. "The life there," he said this morning, "quickly fortifies a man's bodily powers; it envolutes, then evolutes man back toward ancestral or wild life. The skin, nails and hair toughen and thicken; pulmonary catarrh stops; hemorrhages cease. A civilized man loses his sensitiveness; his emotions change. He becomes insensitive and fearless. All his energy goes to nutrition; his intellectual centers are dormant. All his powers are concentrated in building and repair. He falls asleep at twilight and wakes at dawn, ready to eat. Incidental disaster affects him little; he changes from a hothouse plant to an oak. The fear and panic customary to a crowd of consumptives no longer affects him, and thus the greatest danger of hospitalism is avoided. "Baron Larry Nap, chief surgeon and adviser, made this same observation In his Egyptian and Russian campaigns; that incipient consumptives make the best soldiers. They have Spartan courage, and army life properly regulated will cure them. A regiment of consumptives would be no mean enemy." The camps are merely for the purpose of scientific investigation, and if a patient cannot afford the expenses he will be taken free. The camps will all be near the city, where scientific physicians are within call. THEORY FAILED TO WORK. That of Telllnt; n Man' Occupation by His Look. Washington Post. "I don't know so much about this theory that you can come close to telling a man's occupation by his manners and appearance." said a Washlngtonian who recently returned from the Pan-American Exposition. "Stopping at the same hotel with me In Buffalo, and with rooms right across the way from m, were three Chicago newspaper men. The proprietor of the hotel introduced me to them a couple of days after 1 registered, and we went around a good deal together. They were on their vacation. "One of them was quite a young chap, not more than twenty-live, I should say a big, brawny, well-dressed lad who looked a good deal like a typical collegian and a football player, at that. He was a clever, skylarkish young fellow, with a boisterous laugh, and he was always playing jokes on his two companions. Par be it from me to knock, but the number and size of the high balls that boy could scramble on the outside of were sure a caution to locusts. They never seemed to have any effect upon him. and he was always good-natured and jolly and entertaining. "Another of thethree was a slightly undersized man of thirty-live or so. rather thin and dyspeptic looking, who didn't have a great real to say, and who secmpil so diffident with women folk that he almost collapsed when the four of us were presented to a jolly lot of young women on the grounds. This man dressed in different suits of modest black all the time, with a snip of a bla k bow tie and h warm-looking black hat. He always spoke In a low tone and although he was perfectly good-natured and agreeable and quite obviously a man of parts and character, he kept under cover about as much as any man 1 ever met up with. "The third of the party of newspaper men was a Ktout, very precis man of forty a man of such natural dignity that the sense of it would impress you at once. He was exceedingly well dressed at all times and old-maldifh in his habits, wherefore he was cor.sidera.bly guyed by the others. The excellence of the language he employed even when conversing on ordinary topics struck me very soon after 1 met him. He never permitted himself to fall into slipshod methods of expressing hlnTslfj and, though

his talk was by no means stilted, it was almost old-fashioned in its undeviatlng allegiance to a conventional standard other than that of our day. "Well, one night, a couple of weeks after I met up with the three, we wound up the night with a little game of draw in my room. After the last jackpot, and when we were doing a bit of desultory talking before turning in, I got to asking them a few questions about newspapers and the making of . them. This was a subject that had always interested me considerably, though I didn't know much about it. Finally 1 put them a few questions as to the personnel of a metropolitan newspaper. " 'For example,' said I. addressing the big, loud-laughing lad who understood the difficult art of punishing highballs without letting them get away with him, 'what do you do on the paper?' " 'Sky pilot,' he replied, unconcernedly. 'Religious editor, that Is to say. And I have charge of the morgue the biographical department, you understand.' "This struck me as being laughable, but the others didn't see anything particularly funny in it, so I went on to the sedate, dyspeptic-looking little man who always dressed in black and curled up so awfully when he was introduced to a woman. " 'And what is your stunt on your paper?' I asked him. " 'Racing man he ceplied. 'Cover the tracks and edit the racing department in general.' "They didn't seem to see anything incongruous in this, either, and no I inquired of the third man. who was so old-maidish in his habits and so absolutely precise In his manner of using the king's English, what was his specialty. " 'Oh, I write the stories of the streets slang stories,' he answered me. "And there you are. Each of these men had been following his special line of work for years, and none of them had the stamp of his specialty in his appearance or manners. "I don't accept that tell-them-by-their-looks theory any more." BIRS. CARNEGIE AT HOME. The Little-Knovrn AVIfe of a "VVellKuotrn Man. London Mail. Though all the world haa heard a great deal of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, whose income is said to average 5.4S0 a day, and who gave 2,000,000 to Scottish universities in pursuance of his scheme of distributing jL 40,000, OHO before he dies, singularly little is known of Jdrs. Carnegie. Like the muti-millionaire-phllanthropist, Mrs. Carnegie does not court the attention of the "personal paragraphist" and shudders, it Is said, at the mention of the word interviewer. She prefers to be regarded simply as the mistress of Skibo Castle rather than as a person of public interest. This reluctance to thrust herself forward is apparent to everyone who has had the honor of being her guest. Charming, vivacious, clever and a model hostess, she seems to studiously avoid saying or doing anything which the visitor may esteem of sufficient Importance to repeat to the outside world. Wherefore the society column is seldom enriched by a paragraph about Mrs. Carnegie. One story, however, may be told Illustrative of the devotion in which he man of countless millions holds his wit . A pretty little custom which Mrs. Carnegie adopts at her dinner parties is to put into a small silk bag slips of paper bearing the names of all the ladies present. Then, Just before dinner is announced, she carries the bag around to all the male guests and each "dips" for his partner at table. One evening Mr. Carnegie "drew" his wife. His boyish delight was immense. Holding the slip of paper so that all the company could see the name Inscribed thereon, he playfully invited the men to make bids for It and the honor of "taking down" Mrs. Carnegie. Presently he grew serious. "The offer is withdrawn," he said. "My luck is too precious." It was also at one of these pleasant little gatherings that the conversation turned upon the desirability or otherwise of an Anglo-American alliance. Mrs. Carnegie raised the question of what would be the most suitable flower as a bi-national emblem. "I would suggest the dandelion," promptly replied Mr. Carnegie. "Dandy would stand for the cute Yankee business man, and the rest of the word for the British lion. Such a blossom ought to rule the world." Mrs. Carnegie Is a clever photographer, but whether she agrees with a remark her husband made on her art is not known. "A great thing this instantaneous photography," said the laird of Skilo "one has not time to look his very worst." Mrs. Carnegie is twenty years younger than her husband. He did not marry until late in life and after the death of his mother, to whom he was greatlv attached. There is a daughter, a winsome little miss, in whose name Skibo was purchase d. The "star-spangled Scotchman," as the Americans like to call him, is having a huge mansion rebuilt near Central Park, New York. The kitchen arrangements are receiving the special attention of Mrs. Carnegie. The kitchen, it is said, will be the most perfect ever built. Some idea of the size of this nart of the palace will be gathered from the fact that the coal-bin holds no less than 200 tons of coal, which is carried to the furnace by means of a miniature railway. Mrs. Carnegie, who is an excellent "manager." will superintend quite a small family of servants. Mrs. Carnegie is an ethusiastic golfer, and has herself designed a golf box. whic h is being built in Westchester 'count v. It is said that while she and her husband were strolling in the district picking the berries Mrs. Carnegie was struck with the wild beauty of the plac and its proximity to a famous links. She thereupon purchased five acres of the land, and here nxt summer will entertain distinguished disciples of the royal game. A COLLEGE FOR WAITERS. An AiiMtrlnn Irieu "Which Will Rear Imitation In America. Julian Ralph, in Brooklyn Eagle. In the dining room of the best hotel in Vienna one day last week, the, principle table bore an eagle cut .ut of ic- and many American flags In honor of the presence if a man who looked like I'ncle Sam himself, but who was only the commissioner of the coming St. Louis exposition. I noticed that the waiters upon this table, and my own waiter as well, spoke fairly good English. Such an experience had never happened to me in either a German or an Austrian hotel, where, as a rule, you may get a little English out of the porter and the head wait. r. and with that you have to be satis.'ied. Itut here a half dozen waiters were talking freely to us American, and mine, for oru was giving a good deal of valuable information which I should not like to have mis.-ed. 1 said to my old friend. Herr Fuchs, the stadt redacteur (hlch means city editor of the Neue Freie Presse, that this was a remtrkable corp of waiters. "Naturallv." said Herr Fuchs he a-'wayn says "naturally" when you praise anything in Vienna "naturally; are they not from the Walter' College?" "Come, now," said I.

"I do not know what it is to pull the leg said Herr Fuchs, "for we do not have that phrase in the German language. I suppose it is something like your way cf saying of every pretty girl that 'she may pack her clothes in my trunk.' I have tried once or twice to introduce that pictureful expression in Viennese society, out it is attended with too much danger of having to flKht a duel with the lady's brother, who think?. evil where only sport Is intended. Hut as to the existence of our waiters' college, it is no George Starr sort of story at all. but is th veritable truth. We have here the only large and complete school for the fabrication of skilled waiters which Is known to the world. In that school the young men are taught how to lay the table cloth, how to arrange the knives and forks and ipoon in the manner of the most refined poclety. how to bestow the various wine and water and liquor glasses and how to make decorations, commc 11 faut, with the ilowers and trailing leaves upon the table cloths. Though they do not learn to be cooki, they nevertheless must master the methods of the kitchen so as to be able to explain how each dish is made and in order to Tre able to recommend this or that dish to customers with Jaded palates or with illnesses requiring special dirt. "There would seem In be very little that they are not taught. They must know th history of each mineral water lanroi fered to the public whero it comes from. what are its properties, for what persons it is best. The same is true of all wine. They must know th years of the besC vintages of all sorts of wines, and the best vineyards and best exporting houses. Even down to the manner of opening a table napkin to band it to u. lady in a way to give her the? least trouble the mod of putting on a lady's shawl and of holding her jacket for her to slip her arms in. and the polite way of offering a match, always lighted, to a gentleman when h would smoke, after first having proffere-1 the cigar cutter to remove the nub of hi cigar, all these things are tatlght In the Vienna waiters college. When tue students are graduated into the tervice. of the) public they aro advised to travel now to Paris, then to London and to Rome and to New York add St. Petersburg, so (hat they may acquire the polite and the useful languages. At the end of a few years they are. linished and have become what yoti see) around you men of groat intelligence, masters of their calling, with whom gentlemen find It agreeable and profitable to converse. The theory of the waiters' college is that to be a flrt-t-claf waiter ono must be at once a gentleman, a valet, a physician, a sympathetic companion and a father-confessor a gentleman, at least In his understanding of the wayn and tastes of refined persons, a valet In menial services of an intimate sort, a physician in comprehending the nature of men'e. ailments and the properties of the foods suited to such patients: a sympathetic comE anion in causing a stranger to feel at ome In a strange city by adapting his speech and informing him of what my be done and seen in the way of entertainment, and, finally, a father-confessor in drawing from gentlemen their avowals of illness from dissipation and of weaknesses and partialities in dining." As a last and most curious word about the subjects of eating and of Vienna, I will add that fond as we at home, are of Vienna bread, such a thing does not exist in Vienna. To go there in order to enjoy it would be as wild as to go to Wales to enjoy the Welch rabbits leaping upon the hills. A very little schwartz brod (rye bread) is eaten in Vienna, but there is no white bread. Its place is taken by very small hard, but very sweet tasting rolls. There was once a baker there who made a delicious bread and found a fair demand for it. He went with his bakery to Faris and mad a great fortune. Ills bread, or rather the famo and name of It, spread all over the world and w got our fchare, but Vienna is a breadless cap ital. DAVID'S 31 1 LIT A KY SYSTEM. It Did Not Differ from that rre-rallln In Cermnnr and France. Army and Navy Journal. The kingdom of Israel, in the time of David, embraced a territory about equal to the State of Massachusetts, and had a population nearly the tarne as that of New York, six millions or more. That It was able to dominate the territory between the. Mediterranean and the Kuphrates and from Damascus to the (Juif of Arabia, with powerful neighbors pressing upon It from all sides, was due to the military genius of David and the. admirable military system established by him. Nowhere could w look for a more excellent model for our own military organization. In It is found not only the germ, but the full development of tho modern system of universal military service as applb-d in Germany and France. Its fundamental principle was that recogr.ized by our great modern states, that every able-bodied man owes military service to the Ftate. which he must actually pay for a certain iTioJ in peace and la war. David transformed the Irregular fighting forces of Israel into an organized and effective army. This included what we should now call a landwihr of 2$.p) men. divided Into twelve corps of rt.0o,i men, each corpa being In time of peace called into active service for one month in the year, so that there were always it.'u men in camp. In war requisitions were made on this force as needed, and the troops were placed under the command of a general of tried courage and ability, belonging to a specially trained military body in-cuhur to the klnKdom of Israel. A bodyguard for th King's xxeri-o'.i known mh jibborim." or heroe. w organized from thoroughly Instructed men of war, corresponding to the Swiss Guards of France, and. like them, largely recruited from foreigners. This bodyguard wai formed into a brigade, composed of three reulmrnts. each having a colonel, or corresponding officer, a lieutenant colonel and ten companies commanded by captains. From thl Kuard. mainly from Its capt&lna. twelve general wtr? selected to command the army corps when called cut for war. This nave the trained captains of the bvlj'guard assigned to the command of a corps rank equivalent to that of n major general.
