"' ' ' ' ' ' THEATRICAL NOTES. 'IIK-IIl U" Mr. Milward Adams, director of the Chicago Auditorium, and tlie Klaw & Erlanger company, oontrolling the production of General Lew Wallace's "HenHur", have arranged to take especial care of tlieatre parties from out of town points during the engag-einant of "Ben-Hur" at the Auditorium theatre, beginning Monday evening-, 0t. 15th. Since the announeemei. i that this mighty play was again to bo staged at the classic Chicago temple of amusement, the management have received so many inquiries as to railroad rates and requests for special prices for admission from educational institutions and fraternal organizations desiring to attend In a body that they have dectdeil to make reduced rates to theatre parties, either from educational institutions, fraternal organizations, or from the jrener&l public. The various railroads entering the city of Chicajro have agreed to cooperate by granting- speclaHrates. Full information will be furnished on application to Mr. Edward G. Cooke, Auditorium theatre, Chicag-o. The regular scale of prices that will govern the "Uen-Hur" engagement at the Auditorium are as follows: Lower floor on evenings an.l Saturday malinee. 1.00 and $1.00; Balcony. ?1.00 and 75 ! cents; gallery. CO cents. "Wednesday I matinees, entire lower floor, $1.00; en-I tire balcony, 76 cents; gallery, 50 cents, j Seats are now obtainable. Requests for reservation of seats must be accompanied by remittance and self-addressed, stamped en elope for reply, in order to avoid errors, and will be given prompt attention. Lena Ashwell, the famous London actress who scored such a triumph this summer In her latest and greatest footlight creation of the Boer wife, leborah, in the heart-stirring drama of Transvaal life entitled "The Shuhamlte," has for many seasons heen recognlzed as one of the finest emotional ' actresses on the English speaking , Btage. To American followers of dra- ' niatlo affairs on both aides of the Atlantic she la probabty best kmwn j as the original London creation of1 those two intensely dramatic roles ' which our stage has been able to give to the modern British stage th- characters of Yo San In "Th Darling of the Gods," and "Leah Kleschna." A full view of Miss Ashwell's brilliant achievements in emotional art would be to name many of the most celebrated successes of John Bull's play houses since 1S91, when she tirst made her debut In "The Pharisee." with George Alexander she appeared in "Lady Yin- ! dermere's Kan." Her initial engage- ' merit with Sir Henry Irving was in 1 S 9 3 as Elaine in the sumptuous production of "King Arthur," and she was prorousced an artistic favorite with the Lyceum Knight. With Irving she played in "Richard 11" and also originated the parts of Via and Geona in Sardou's "Dante." Beerbohm Tree specially secured her to create the role of Katusha Maalova In "Resurrection." it was she, too, who electrified all London play goers by her wonderful portrayal of the unhappy Magdalene in Henry Arthur Jones' moving play, "Mrs. Dane's Defense." Her interviewscene with the judge, in which she implored for mercy and pity in her new life's love crisis, was the supreme sensation of the London theatrical year of 1900'. The Messrs. Schubert have been extremely fortunate in securing her consent to an American tour, just now when she has seemingly found an even more striking role of emotional triumph in "The Shulamite." Broad Hint to Congregation. Beini anuoyed by persons who left his church before the sermon, a Devonshire vicar, says an English newsrarer, has met the case by fixing in a prominent position a notice which is written to this effect: "All adults who are unbaptlzed or possessed by dsvils ahculd 'eave the church before the sermon. Otherwise they should remain till the conclusion of the service." Our Judgment Fallible. Men are never as kind, nor as wicked, as our sympathy or our anger makes us judge them. ilnie. D'Augebert. "

"My b3'," said the editor of the BHlsville Bugle to the new reporter, "you lack caution. You must learn not to state things as facts until they are proved facts otherwise you are very apt to get us Into libel suits. Dc not say 'the cashier who stole the funds;' say 'the ca9hler who is alleged to have stolen the funds.' That's all now, and ah turn in a stickful about that second ward social last night." Owing to an influx of visitors, it was late in the afternoon before the genial editor of the Bugle caught a glimpse of the great family daily. Halfway down the social columns his eye lit on the following cautious para graph: "It is rumored that a card party was given last evening to a number of reputed ladies of second ward. J.Irs. Smith, gossip sas, was the hostess, and the festivities are reported to have continued until 10:30 in the evening. It Is alleged that the affair was a social function given to l V InilUn . f O J TT J r V. u,c cue uuuu d.u vmcu club' and that- with the exception of Ml"3- James liilwilliger, ' says she comes from Leavits .JiK aon, none but members were present. The reputed hostess insists that coffee and wafers alone wern served a3 refreshments. "The Smith woman claims to be the wife of John Smith, the so-called 'Honest Shoe Man, of 313 East State street." Shortly afterward a whirling mass, claiming to be a reporter on the Bugle, ilew 15 feet into the street and landed with what bystanders assert was a dull, sickening thud. Puck. MORE THAN PAT COULD STAND Rose In His Wrath When Mule Took to Throwing Stones. The author of "Very Far West In deed" has many amusing stories to tell of his adventures on the Fraser river at the time of the gold excitement in British Columbia, now nearly 40 years aso. He was making his way through the mountains in company with an Irishman when this occurred: Two or three miles from the ferry we looked about for a suitable spot at which to camp for the night; and while thus engaged, Pat Kernan and I, with one of the laden mules, fell behind. Pat was 20 or 30 yards ahead of me, and I was urging on the lagging mule with gentle entreaties. Finding these unavailing, I adopted a more violent expedient, and threw a stone at him. The stone it was a good-sized one missed the mule, but hit Pat in the back. With many excvlamations of rage, Pat descended from his rerch. and proceeded to lick the mule. Hardly able to keep from laughing aloud. I inquired: "What's the matter, Pat?" "Matther enough! Here's this old black baste, not continted wid thrying to upsit me Jv'ry minit, has bin and trun a rock and hit me square in the middle of the back." Youth's Companion. Irishman's Definition of a Yankee. "Begorrah! If he was wrecked on a desolate oiland, he'd be up next niornin' before anybody, seilin' maps to the inhabtants!" The Power of Publicity. Mighty as are steam and electricity in the domain of industry, they are but shadows of the mightier power of concentrated thought, as expressed In type and spread before the world. To let the world know through type who and what and where you are and what you have that this great world wants is the secret of success, and the printing press is the mightiest machine to that end.

"Sad for the Coo." A railway accident, as novel as it was in Its way sensational, ia reported from Dunkirk, Scotland. A herd of 34 horses and 27 donkeys and nules, tethered for the night on some open ground near the station, were so terrified by a storm that they broke looso and stampeded down the line. Into the dense mass of galloping animals a fast train from Calais dashed at high speed, killing 20 horses and seven of the other beasts, of which the carcasses were horribly mangled. The slaughter forced the train to slow down, and it was impossible to get up Bteam again, as the remnants of the herd trotted calmly back in front to Dunkirk. The owner of the animals was one of the passengers. Ahead in Post Offices. The United States has more post, offices than England and France combined. There are 71,131 post offices tn the United States; France has 11,282;" Germany, 3S.610; and England and Ireland together have 22,050. The aggregate annual number of letters transmitted through the post offices of the world is estimated at 20,000,000. About 12,500,000 newspapers also pass through the woild's post offices. OLD CUSTOMS IN SWEDEN. Peasants Do Much Hand Work Result Is Few Factories. Sweden Is the home of the handicrafts. In addition to manual training taught in schools, the most exquisite hand weaving, lace making, brass work, even pottery, is done by the peasants. Each district has its own patterns, which the peasants make and wear, deeming it unpatriotic to have aught to do with patterns of other localities. Because of the handicrafts Sweden has not many textile factories, although there are some where conditions of work are for the most part, good. The people, however, are encouraged to continue hand weaving and to hold their time-honored industrial customs rather than to take the risk of a disturbed economic order due to a market glutted with shoddy trash. In all Sweden there are to-day only about 10,000 factories of all kinds, employing In all a little more 1 than 265,000 workmen not a great number out of a total population of more than 3,000.000. The Craftsman. LETTER WAS FROM SISTER. Husbands Wife Did Not Know This and Jealousy Coat Life. Charles Hepburn, of Xewcastle-on-Tyne hadn't the slightest reason for thinking his wife was jealous of him Therefore when he received a letter from another woman asking him to meet her at a certain hour he carried the letter home in his pocket instead of destroying it. In going through his pockets at night the wife found the letter. She made no remarks, except to herself, but started to be at the place appointed and face th. guilty pair. Everything was all right up to this point, but in walking to the corner mentioned in the letter the wife was run down and killed by an omnibus and the husband came along just in time to identify the body. She had the letter on her person and the husband speedily proved that it was his cwn sister he was going to meet. It is useless to point out the moral in this. Wives have been going through their husbands' pockets ever since pockets were a feature, and they have also been finding letters from other women, and this sad tragedy will have no general effect. There is always hope in the womanly breast of catching the husband dead to rights, and if she keeps on long eneugh she will probably accomplish her fell design.

But the use of the word "vegetable" doesn't always depend upon cooking, for celery is a vegetable, and apples are fruit, whether eaten raw or cooked. One would suppose the tomato to be entitled to the term fruit, for the method of its raising resembles that of fruit. But it is usually called vegetable whether eaten raw or cooked n spite of its appearance. The quince is so fruitlike in appearance so resembling apples, pears, etc. that it persists in being .called fruit, though eaten only when cooked. Sometlmes the vegetable is a bud . , i .j t 1 as witn caDDages. arm uiusjb sprouts; leaves, as spinach; stem3 above ground, as asparagus; stems enlarged (tubers) underground, as common potatoes, or roots, as sweet potatoes, beets and carrots. fat. isicnolas. Practical Premonition. A well-known Free church minister, still living, had undertaken to preach In one of the Channel islands. He ar rived at Waterloo station, possessed with a strong reluctance to go farther. He took his ticket and compelled himself to go on the platform; but the warning influence grew more strong. After selecting a compartment he abandoned his resolve and left the station. Next morning the loss of (he channel steamer was placarded through London. His sister-in-law, living in the west of England, wrote a day or two later to tell him that she had a sudden impression that he was going into great danger, and she was conscious of a strong effort on her part to save him. This premonition had a practical issue. Most stories of apparitions are trivial in detail and purposeless in result. London Mail. Sandy's Eleventh Commandment. Bishop Brooks was at on time Interested in Sandy McKenzle, a well known character In and about Bnstnn Sandy was a pretty good fellow, but not much of a churchman. One day the bishop was taking him to task for playing cards and getting intoxicated on Sunday. "I'm afraid, Sandy," he said "you don't know much about the Ten Commandments." "What's the Ten Commandments?" asked Sandy. The bishop explained. "Oh, aye, nay. I dinna ken aught about the Ten Commandments," said Sandy, "but I ken the Eleventh Commandment richt weel." "The Eleventh Commandment," said the mystified bishop; "why, Sandy, there is no Eleventh Commandment' Oh svp " said the imnerturhable Scotchman. The bishop, becoming rather curicus, asked: "Well, Sandy, and what is the Eleventh Commandment?" "The Eleventh Commandment, ye ken," said Sandy, "Is for every moa to mind his ain business." Why the Mail Was Lost. A Glasgow business house has received this communication from Bagdad, Turkey, dated August 6: "The European mail, due here on July 26, has not reached Bagdad, as the post carrier's camel is said to have escaped while he was sleeping, and it is supposed it perished in the desert Consequently the mail is lost. London Globe. The Study of Poetry. Never before was there so study of poetry and the drama. much This is due to the modern extension of ed ucation and to the spread of reading matter among the masses. Poetry is not the fashion of an hour; it is an eternal need of the soul a need that increases with the increase of intellectual light. Edwin llarkham in Success Magazine.

I IM I m.i.mni l HI ll-lll II 0 SQUELCHED THE PROUD ONE. Old Traveler Took the Starch Out of the Staff Officer. A gorgeous staff officer, glittering attendant of a visiting governor, stood at the entrance to the platform in the Philadelphia station of the Pennsylvania road the other day. There had been a historic anniversary celebrated down the Delaware and the guests were about to board their special train for Xew York. The haughty staff officer had hern stationed where he was hl order tQ in Qn tQ lhe platforra where the "special" was awaiting the jnVited Ernests. He was very, very nroud To him aDneared an irate old man dictatorial of temoer and ano Piectic of build. 1 "When does the next train for HarriSUUrg leave?" snapped the portly aml fiery mari The sta2 officer drew himself up haughtily and replied in accents nuant to be chilling: "I am sure I don't know." "You don't, hey?" roared the irate inquirer, being, of course under the impression tkat the staff officer was one of the uniformed employes of the read; "you don't, hey? Well, I'll find out why you don't. What in thunder are you paid for, any way?" By this time a crowd of the expected guest3 had arrived and were standing by, listening with amusement to the conversation. The last pointed question of the old man was too much and a "snicker" broke out which swelled into a laugh as the staff officer, completely taken aback, stammered out: "I I don't know." DONKEYS FOR CHILDREN. They Cost Too Much to Be Common in This Country. The little donkey cart, as it trudled along the white beach, attracted much attention. Under their red silk para sols the ladies in white looked at tho small, gray donkey and smiled. The gentlemen, raising their eyes from j their novels' patted tb Bma11 and dainty animal as it passed "That donkey cost a hundred;" said a veterinary surgeon. "It Is a very fine specimen. What I want to know ! is, why are not cheap donkeys bred here in America, the same as abroad? i ..... . Then every child, at an expense or $o or $10, might have a donkey no big ger than a Newfoundland dog to ride and drive. "London is full of donkeys. The costers use them. Every tiny huck ster cart is drawn by a tiny gray donkey." The animals are bred In Ire land and in Wales, and it is possible to buy little ones for $4, ?5 and $7 : and so on up to $100 or more for the I fancy grades. Tne aonney is aocne, intelligent, industrious, moral. He never runs away. He never loses his temper. He ; is an Ideal pet for children, and, if he ! were bred here, he would bo within the reach cf nearly all. "Think how nice it would be if you could do here what you can do in England give a child a nice litUe donkey that only costs ?5." Was Not Doing a Thing. "Yes, lady," said Hungry Higgins, "police persecution ruined me life. Why, when I wua first arrested years ago I hadn't been doin' a blessed thing." Catholic Standard. How to Save Time. A wellknown boarding house keeper on Jefferson Heights, Catskill, N. Y., had for a summer boarder a New York woman whose overwhelming dread of germs of all kinds caused , her to sterilize almost everything that she fed her only child. Madam," said the landlady one day. "why not permit the boy to eat everything on the table and then sterilize the youngster? S the time you'd tave.'
