A cloud has again darkened the British horizon. The vietory at Kimberley appears to have been very dearly bought. Ladysmith is not relieved and Gen. Roberts is silent. . , The state loses a useful man and leading educator in the death of Dr. James H. Smart, president of Purduo university, which occurred at Lafayette last night. . He had been in poor health for some time.

At a performance of the Ameer in New York, the comic opera in which Frank Dauiols is starring, a list of the various forms of advertisement employed by him was printed on slips and these were distributed among the audience with a request that each person should chock on the slip the form of advertising that had attracted his attention to the Ameer and himself to the theater. Out of 1,100 marked it was found that 991 were marked "newspaper advertising." No doubt if tho facts could be ac curately secured it would be found that newspaier advertising in all kinds of business has this same proportionate value compared with a other kinds of advertising.

HORSE AND HORACE. A Story That is Interesting in Connec tion With the Published Report of the Outcome of the Dramatic Entertainment at the GennetU There is a bit of local and profane hbtory connected with the two plavs recently given, at the Genoet bv nome talent. The fact that the financial report of the event is published today makes the incident timely The Starr public kn took part ws that Horace in the play "A lrvze, " and did it splen ic alwavs does. 1im mem

bers of the cast " know that he directed the firs tCthe little curtain raiser called "Mrs. Mulcahy," WatiJiejj-ed jxit' the rest of the eat till after midnight having nashliffht pictures taken. But O beV&Mlr'mWlthat Horace put ?i the rest of the night, at spectacula? theatrical Titeral horseplay! Wh"aifiot?B katr got home, tired - -to death as were all the rest, he was ' ready to slumber lensrthilv and deeply. He had retired to his bed and was prepared to do so, when he was called by a member of the family who

stated that the family horse was at large, tearing around over the terrace and otherwise making itself numerous and multitudinous. Horace arose with the greatest - reluctance and some uncomplimentary remarks regarding Parisian sausages in general and that one horse in particular, lie sallied forth to assist the man who resides there, in the capture of the beast. The horse bad been resting during the 'forepart of the night, and had therein got the start of Mr. Starr. He had no difficulty in getting the start of him in other ways also. The two men chased the horse in a frisky and playful manner about the town for hours. The horse enjoyed it t hugely. - It would prance about with its fly-propeller in the air, snorting and gyrating joyously. It would walk out into the middle of the street and graze where there wasn't any grass and Horace would think the chase was over. He would approach it with sundry complimentary remarks such as "good horsey, nice horsey," and then when it would swap ends and perform a little clog, the tenor of Mr. Starr's remarks would change with lightning quickness and the hunt would appear as nearly interminable as at first. The horse proved a veritable Aguinaldo except in one particular, that it was finally captured. About 5 o'clock when Bucephalas had had all the exercise he felt he needed to aid in the digestion of his breakfast, fee submitted to the wiles of the two would-be captors and Horace got to bed just as the dawn broke over the eastern hills. But alas! The beauties of the dawn were lost on one who had put in forty-five minutes as director of a Elay, two hours as an actor, two ours as a photographer's model and four, hours horse-play with a real horse in each and every act. Mr. Starr does not believe in stage realism.

Her daughter Leooa. you must know, had presented icrself for examination at theConservitoire that day. and I always make a point of appearing interested in my concierge's" family affairs. I find it jiaystodoso. "Ah. M. Kicbard. you come at Just he right momeut. I was longing for nr.iebody to talk to about it. Sit down -.here in my armchair by the latcb.t.ing. and 1 will tell you the whole story. "Well, as you know, Leona had learned the role of Blanche In Le Rot s'Amnse. "My husband you know his political opinions chose the piece. He thought it would be a good thing to show the people the goings on of the kings in the old days liefore we had this blessed republic. Besides, it Is by Victor Hugo, you know, and It seems to be fairly well written. Leona's teacher that fat little M. Guillemot with the red cheeks, you know, and a very nice man h'is, too, I must say, and always very polite to me well, the teacher made no objection, and so Ieona studied up the part of Bianche. "She seems to have been created espressly for the role M. Guillemot often said to me. 'She is Blanche herself. "She selected for the examination the scene in the second act in which Blanche confesses to Dame Berarde her love for the king. We went through It several times at home after supper. "The prince, ever kind and attentive, held the book, and I took the part of Dame Berarde, which was quite suited to my years. There's a ring at the bell, M. Kichard. Please pull the cord. Thanks. Where was 1? Oh, yes; I re'bjember. "Leona knew ber lines so well that she could have spoken them backward. "The prince had ordered her costume and had even been good enough to go f-with her when she went to try It on. " "You need not leave your post. Mine. Bourrimel, be said. I will attend to everything.' "Ah. but that costume was superb! Imagine a foulard with honeysuckles and humming birds on a white ground, t&? sklrtjrlnirned with three bands of purple velvet, square cot bodlcer point lace sleeves but I forget. You are a man. and you can't imagine It. "But when I saw that dress my maternal heart leaped for Joy, and I threw my arms around the prince's neck and exclaimed. 'With such a dress as that Leona cannot help making a success, and it will be all owing to your generositj.' "Indeed. M. Richard. I was deeply moved. I assure you. and the prince himself was much affected. I even thought I saw tears behind his eyeglasses. Well, the great day came at last and we all set out for the Conservatoire, accompanied by our neighbor. Alfne. Frimard. and her daughter, who has tried the examination In corned for the last six years and failed every time. "But. M. Richard, the bell has rung three times. Please open. "1 beg pardon. Mine. Bourrflnel. I an a green 'concierge. remember. "Where was 1? Oh, to be sure, at the Conservatoire. Leona went to the stage door with Mile. Frimard. who was to take the part of Dame Berarde, and Mine. Frimard and I got seats together iu the little red theater. They call it 'Etruscan.' I believe, but it Is quite pretty or all that. "Of course the prince, being connected wi'b the Russian embassy, could oot be -Ith us. He sat in a proscenium box. r!ght fcchind the president's wife. Ah. there's a lady who knows bow to dres" 1 couldn't keep my eyes off the bright yellow capote perched on top of her sl-iny black hair. "Of course Mme. Frimard, whose daughter had been going through the mill so long, knew all the critics and the members of the Jury, and she pointed them out to me while we were waiting for Leona to appear. "That fat man. sound asleep, was Maurice Tourcey. He always slept at these exhibitions. - ' The dark, shabby man was Vlctoi Fessard. who had left politics for literature at the age of 50 and now slashed right and left to make people think be knew all about it. Just as people hiss bullfights to pretend they are Spaniards. "The gentleman with the long halt and the big mustache was La Puiseraye. who was kindness itself, and the man who looked like a general was Augnste Destn. au bonest man and a scholar. "Then. In the Jury box. there was Dumas, the smilinsr Jules Claretie. the amiable Halevy. The shriveled looking person was Camille Doneet. "The old man In the middle, witb a bead like a grand priest's, was the president. Ambroise Thomas, and the merry, mocking silhouette in the lasl row was Cadet, of the Comedie Franv caise. It was great fun for me. Mme. Frimard knew them all very well, she had been to see them so often on ber daughter's account. f ; "Now and then the prince leaned for ward from his seat in the official box and gave me a little confidential smile with a sort of wink, which meant, '1 cannot be witb you in person on ac count of my official position, bat I am with you In pirit "Wasn't it nice of him? "At last, after several other debu tantes bad apiieared. Leona turn came. There was a moment of silence. nd the master of ceremonies an nounced: "'Mile. Leona BourrimeL aged 20 years, appeared last year and the year before without success Why did the wretch have to say that? "assume the role of BlaiK.be in "Le Rol a' Amuse. asaiated by Mile. FrUuatd." "Ah. M. Bichani. yvi don't know liw I felt! Yon are uol a mother. My httart aar in iui- i,. Ui eecuttd, "

Boor Is waiting for his candle! "Please hand It to him through the window. Thanks. , "Alioul Leona's scene. I must aay that the management was very mean about the stage setting. A table with a green doth, two plush chairs that was alL What would they say If we should eeiue to their theater In rags, I should like to know? "But. ah. bow pretty Leona looked when she came on. witb her flowered gown and ber old fashioned cape with steel clasps. .A murmur of admiration ran through the theater. M. Dumas twirled his mustache, and M. Halevy adjusted h's opera glass both good signs. As for M. Tourcey. he kept on sleeping, but it seems that this never Interferes with his ability to criticise not In the least. When Leona. as Blanche, confessed her love for the king, she looked straight at Prince Tapaloff. "Ah. M. Richard, if you had seen and heard her! She was the living, loving Blanche, and one could feel the force of the passion that consumed ber. The Jury felt It evidently, for they became Intensely absorled and excited, the little dried up man especially. And at bis age! "My daughter went on with her lines, which described the noble appearance of the king, his graceful bearing In the saddle and so forth, and still she kept her eyes fixed on the prince. SJse surely could do no less after what he had done for her the gowu. the cape, the Jewels and all the rest. "Of course the lines referred to King Francis I. but the prince no doubt saw in them a delicate allusion to himself, and he smiled In a way that showed he was much gratified. And Indeed he, too. Is a tall, handsome gentleman and a splendid horseman. One might have fancied that Victor Hugo had him In mind when he wrote the lines. "The president's wife smiled also Perhaps she was thinkiug of the pres ent ruler of France. But all of a sud den some crank cried, 'Face the audience! "The cry was taken np and repeated from all parts of the room. " 'Yes: face the audience! Never mind the fine people in the boxes! "The fools! Just Imagine, they thought that Leona was looking at and playing at the president's wife, and so they were jealous. "I rose in my place and said In a loud voice, but with great dignity: " 'But she is not looking at Mme. la Prosidcnte. She does not care that (I snapied my fingers) for Mme. la Presldeute. She Is looking at Prince Tapa loff.' "At this the disturbance Increased. In the midst of laughter, yells and hisses I turned to the jury and added: " 'I should think I ought to know. I am her mother.' . ."Then there was a fearful row. Leoua could not go on. the jury retired and presently, by M. Thomas' orders. I was thrust out of doors In company with Mme. Frimard. who, as her daughter's linos had been thus cut off, protested as angrily as I did. "And that's the way that Leona, through a silly mistake of the audience, has again failed to get the prix.' For my part, as soon as I saw the prince. I said, with great dignity: " 'My daughter's career Is ruined and through you. If yon have the Instincts of a gentleman, you will know your duty and perform It. "The prfnce'a conduct. I must admit.

was perfect. ""Mme. ttourrimei. tie said. "I am a gentleman, and I know my duty. which will also be my pleasure. "'I will marry Leona at once. We will leave for Dieppe tonight, and you and your husband shall join us within a month. "And. in fact, he did marry her. and they went off on the 8 o'clock express. Ah. M. Richard.

NEW SPORTING VENTURE. Park of Amrriraa Hounds to Haat Foxes la Frasee. Colonel Edward MorrelL a widely known Philadelphia sportsman, with characteristic enterprise has sent - a small pack of American hounds to France to try them hunting wild foxes In that country. They were consigned to Messrs. Henry Ridgway and Forbes Morgan of the Tau Hunt club. Mr. Morrell says in an Interview with a Rider and Driver reporter: "Mr. Morgan and I had quite a discussion on the subject of American and English hounds last August In Newport, the result of which was that, knowing the country over there,' 1 promised to present to the Pan Hunt club a small pack to experiment with. I at once enlisted the services of Mr. George W. Hill, the venerable master of the Rose Tree Hunt, to help me secure representative bounds. After six months he finally reported that he had secured as good a lot of American bounds as could be found in Pennsylvania and Maryland, from which states they were procured. Each hound was carefully selected for bis hunting qualities and with a deep note. The hounds are not matched for color, some being tricolored. some black and tan and some blue and black and tan. and some !lcc and black speckled. Each one. however, is a fine Individual, large, strong and wish pVcty of bone.

WASHINGTON LETTER. ta I sapprerUlea Coasaitlaaeat rial liriiUlieae-t t kaaslsa f Wsaaa s.

(Special Correspondence. 1 The title of "watchdog of the treas nry" is a proud distinction for which many statesmen at Washington strive. After years of the mot.t vigilant watchfulness at the bungbole of the treasury barrel Senator Francis Marion Cotkrell of Missouri has won this title and distinction. It appears, however, that there are certain strata of society iu which the significance of this sobriquet is not understood. Tula was illustrated a few days ago by an incident in the women's gallery of the senate. A daughter of the Missouri senator was accompanied to the gallery by two girl frleuds from the west. Sitting behind l hem was a party of strangers nnder the cievronage of a Washingtonian. who was pointing out the notables as they appeared In the chamber. As Senator Cockrell strode in slowly and with proper dignity the cicerone, as was his duty, poiuted him out to the party witb the stereotyped remark. "That's Senator Cockrell of Missouri, the "watchdog of the treasury. " Quick as a flash the Washington ian felt the eyes of the two girls in front of him riveted upon him with Indignant gla noes. "How do you dare apply such a term to Senator CoekrelL the greatest man in the senate?" snapped one of the western I girls. Miss Cotkrell attempted to explain that In the stranger's remark there was an Implied compliment of very high value to her father, but ber friend could not be made to see It in that light. The man attempted to apologise, but in vain. The girls swept out of the gallery murmuring that they had never before heard snob a "rude thing" said about the Idol of the Missouri Democracy, end If this was the way Washington people , talked about western statesmen they were roinz to try to have the cap'tai novvl from this city to St. Lo;:'s. Vre it ought to be. S. ell p.rsalalisas. Washington society Is formal and ceremonious. Probably there Is no city in this country where social connections are so strictly observed, and certain it is there Is no city in the land where there is such punctilious observance of precedence established by official rank. For Instance, it Is said that the wives of ca bluet members are now expected to call on the wives of senators first. You may not think that Is a very serious matter, but It Is. Time was when this Important point was not settled and Washington society was In a turmoil because of Jealousies engendered over the fact that this point was still debatable. Now It Is recognized custom. It has lieeu for years. The reason Is. so the wives of senators argue, that cabinet members have to be confirmed by the senate, and therefore In a measure they are creatures of that body and consequently lower In rank. Woman Salracs Chaaploa, Senator Warren, who Introduced in the senate the other day a proposed woman suffrage; law. thinks that it would tie a good Idea to start the new Hawaiian government with equal suffrage. He has presented an aiuendmcLt to the Hawaiian bill, striking out the word "male" in connection with Ual.Ci-d voters. ! "We l:ave had equal suffrage tr Yfyomltrj for SO years." said Senator Warren the other day. "and it is therefore no longer an experiment." "Do the wtimen really vote?" "They do. The number of women who ; -t their ballots is as great In protiortion to population as the aggro gate total of voters of the other sex. It may lie thai la a few remote couoties where It Is very Inconvenient to get to the polls this average does not obtain, but the exception merely proves the rule. We have had some women officials, but they, have generally been connected with school work and have made admirable officers. We have never yet had a woman member of the legislature. In fact, no woman, so far as I can remember, was ever nominal ed for a legislative position." "How are the polls on election day?" "They are as quiet as a church, and I attribute this fact largely to the presence of ladies. Women go to the polls without fear of trouble aud cast their ballots. They take a deep liner est in political questions, and their right of suffrr.ge Is exercised with great Intelligence." The t'aaal Aaioroatrlatloa. The action of the house committee in cutting down the appropriation for the Nicaragua canal to $lO.0OO.(tO0 la not intended as a blow at the bill, but simply to provide the amount necessary to start the work, leaving it to succeeding congresses lo appropriate the rest of the money as the enterprise progresses. There is no need for a large appropriation this year. It could not be used and every dollar above the actual ex penditure would revert to the treasury at the end of the 5 seal year, and a re appropriation would have to be made. If the whole sum necessary to con struct the work were allowed, it would make this congress seem most extra va gant In appropriations, and therefore the leaders advised that only f 10,000, 000 be named for use thla year. "There is a bill to abolish the can teen system in army posts before the committee on military affairs." answer ed Chairman Hull when asked about such a measure. "Will It be taken up by your commit tee?" "That I cannot say definitely, as It rests chiefly with the committee. bave had one or two communication about it inquiring if the writers eoald confer with me regarding the measure I nave been here every afternoon, but tbns far I bave not seen any one wbr Is Interested In harrying each iegiala tion."
