Mr. Blaine will not sit down with thirteen people at the table. He has great faith in dreams and has a sign for almost every occurence in life.

It costs $25 fine or thirty days In jail to sell boys cigarettes in Ohio. This is why so many Ohio boys live to become Presidents of the United States.

Benjamin F. Butler has become a more inveterate cigar-chewer than ever. He sometimes indulges in twenty cigars a day. His cigars are spoken of as "Widow Butler's weeds."

The people in a western town are complaining because a local undertaker displays his coffins on the sidewalk outside his office, with prices attached, just like the furniture dealers.

At a hugging bee for the benefit of the church along the upper Hudson a few evenings since, a man while blindfolded hugged his wife fer several minutes without knowing whom he was hugging. When he did find out he wanted his fifteen cents back.

President Cleveland has never crossed the threshhold of more than two houses in Washington outside of the residences of his Cabinet officers during his term of office. He has never seen Congress at work, and in four years he has not once entered a department building.

President-elect Harrison has leased the Spencer cottage at Deer Park for a summer residence and his family expects to take possession about June 1st. The property is owned by Henry G. Davis. It was at Deer Park that President and Mrs. Cleveland spent their honeymoon.

Twenty-five years ago a couple were married in Brockton, Mass., and lived together five years. Then they separated and for twenty years have not lived together, but they have not been divorced, The odd thing about it is that every Sun day night he calls on his wife and spends the evening with her.

The players' club of New York blackballed Colonel Ingersoll for reason that his religious views were not orthodox. Men who have been hunting for something to smile at may take this fact and be content, unless they propose to prove that actors are all what Ingersoll is not. In that event the public will do the smiling.

The invention of the phonograph and graphophone has brought out the singular fact that few persons, if any, know sound of their own voice. When »1 persons in succession have spokone of the machines, each may lize in reproductions the voice of a .id or acquaintance, but does not identify his own.

A New York policeman seeking to prevent a telegraph lineman climbing a pole to remove certain police department wires, grabbed the man by the collar and concluded the job finished. But the herculean lineman stuck in his spikes and hauled the policeman as high as the second story of adjacent houses. Then he grew tired and dropped on him.

Marie Frances Norton, a sister of Charles S. Guiteau, has recently published a novel, mainly devoted to the defense of her brother, who, she says, was crazy, and was influenced by others to shoot President ^Garfield. She calls the book "The Stalwart or, Who Were to' Blame?" although the world is pretty well satisfied now that no one but Guiteau was in the plot.

A story comes from Omaha to the effect that Henry M. Stanley was once a writer on an Omaha paper and fell in love with a widow in that city. Stanley went to Omaha in 1858 or 1859. He was young, handsome, gallant and fond of adventure. He fell in love with a vaudeville actress, who proved a coquette. One night, after posting her friends behind the scenes to observe the result, she granted Stanley an interview. Stanley honest in his infatuation, knelt before the woman and protested his love desperately. A reporter described the scene in his paper and Stanley thrashed him for it.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

A Philadelphia critic calls Tom Keen's "Richard III" a combination of Bertuccio and Jack the Ripper.

Gossip is busy with alleged causes why Louis James and Marie Wainright will •tar separately next season.

Lissie Evans goes to Europe this spring and will "do" London and Paris. She has received offers to play in London but will probably decline, as her visit is more for pleasuie than business.

It is stated that Maggie Mitchel will make a trip to California and Australia next season, and that at the close of the tour she will probably go to Germany to visit her daughter, who is being educated there.

Hie Sun, last Sunday, had this sevenword editorial on Mrs. Langtry's appearance as Rosalind: "Mrs. Langtry's must be pronounced the handsomest," to which the Mirror says the conspicuous lack of an antecedent context does not add to the perspicacity of this Sun spotlet.

Comedian John A. Mackay, by the way, who was to have starred in Grover's latest play, "A Noble Son," is still in hiding in the wilds of South Brooklyn. He recently made a surreptitious visit to the Bijou opera house, but quickly hurried hack to his place of concealment. The attack of stage fright which caused

Mackay to actually run away from the first public production of the new play is probably the most wonderful as well as the severest on record.

Mrs. Langtry says that the latest fashion of cutting the dress low in the neck is a cruel blow to the people with scraggy necks. She admits, however, that people with scraggy nec&s, thanks to the Princess of Wales, had things pretty well their own way for a long time.

F. C. Burnard, the editor of Punch, is engaged in the writing of a libretto for which the maritally entangled Edward Solomon is composing the music. The theme is Pickwick the motif that of Mrs. Bardell's persecution of the amiable old hero of Dickens' best work.

Charles H. Hoyt's new comedy, "A Midnight Bell," will be produced at the Bijou opera house March 4 with a strong cast and new scenery and accessories The chief part in the new piece is that of a big man in a little country village who is a selectman, a deacon in the church and the boss in general of the town. One of the features will be an old-fashioned New England church choir.

Mr. Cecil Clay has written a new comedy called "Tears." "The title," he said recently, "is satirical and not descriptive of the effect which the comedy is expected to have upon an average audience. So many comedies start out in life with side-splitting and humorous names and then drop promptly into oblivion and gloom, that I thought it might be rather an ingenious scheme to start out a little piece with a sarcastic headline."

The procession of society women now on the stage is about to be lengthened by Mrs. Rudolph Allen, who for some time has been studying at the Palmer School for Acting. Mrs. Allen is the eldest daughter of the late Dudley Gregory, and is a cousin of Mrs. Ely-Goddard and Mrs. Lloyd Aspinwall. As Miss Gregory she was well known in society, not only for her beautiful voice and her ballad singing, but her success in amateur theatricals.
