THE GOLDEN SPOON.
The Naming of the Cabinet Baby as
Pretentious as Though She Were a
Princess- -Elaborate Festivities at the
Mansion- Mrs. Fairchild’s First Re

for the Actors’ Fund.
Washington, April I(7—Miss Dorothy
Whitney's christening at St. John'.- Episco
pal church and the reception which followed
at the residence of the Secretary ol the
Navy on Easter Mom lay was the most
fashionable event of the week just closed.
The church was still Un'Ulul and fragrant
with the decorations of Easter. Above the
111' •-bedecked baptismal font was suspended
a snow-white dove. The baptismal pro
session was one of the prettiest features of
the service. In its van came a surplieed
choir of lxiys singing on Easter carol with
organ accompaniment, Dr. Leonard walk
ing liehind, followed by Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney and Mmo. Rcuterskiold, wife of
the Swedish minister, holding in her arms
the blue-eyed baby, and the four young
lathes of the Cabinet, Miss Endieott, Miss
Bayard, Miss Vilas and Miss Lamar, who
stood sponsoi-s with Secretary Whitney.
after Dr, Leonard bad chris
i%ooe<kthc little rosebud she was returned to
aftittßr .t-Tiial arms and the party left for the
mansion where an afternoon tea
■was (given in honor of the occasion. The
ktjom ; e the reception took place was a
jdMnwt bower of flowers, the
ftfferjjigs largely of diplomatic and
other friends. On n talfie iu

‘Dorothy, I baptize thee.’ (}. Bancroft.
Tic minister’s present to Dorothy was a
Ipecially large and fine basket of
roses. Countess Galli also, with a cor
dial note to .the little Jstranger, offered
ft similar tribute, and there were nobs of
greeting and telegrams from New York
friends, and friends sojourning abroad
heaped every inch of available space be
tween the more substantial tokens. The
Orchestra was hidden from view on a bal
cony laden with rare 'plants and flowers,
fend luxurious with costly fabrics from the
orient. The collation consisted of every va
riety of ices, light wines, fresh strawberries,
fakes, confections, coffee and chocolate. On
I. stand near the parlor door, in a large sil
ver bowl, was served the famous time-hon
tred christening drink, can IV. of which
(very one, of course, sipped to the
health of Dorothy. A more rep

A DRAMATIC CENTENNIAL.
First Performance in Thin Country of
an American Play.
New A okk, April Id.— One hundred veal's
ago last night, (April 10, 1787) the audience
at the John Street Theatre, New York, wit
nessed the first, performance ever given of
an American play by a company of pro
fessional actors. What the dramatic his
torian, Dunlap, calls “the pleasant and
laugh-provoking tragedy of ‘The Mercenary
Match,’ written by one tfnrndy Bidwell."”
hod been played a few years previous by
the student* of Yale College under the
auspices of the Rev. Dr. Ezra Stiles, Presi
dent of the college, and there had doubtless
1 >ecu other amateur pei-fonnancesof original
plays: but the comedy of “The Contrast”
was the first dramatic work written by
an American and performed in a theatre.
Ic> production, therefore, marks the U
giunuig of the American drama as con
liected with the American stage. Royall
Tyler, the author of “The Contrast, was a
young man of 2*. a graduate of Harvard,
and a native of Boston, where theatrical
performances were looked upon as devices
of the devil and prohibited by law. Mr.
Tyler was a lawyer by profession, and had
served during Khav's"rebellion in Massachu
setts on the staff of Gen. Lincoln. AY hen he
arrived in New York, bringing with him
the unfinished play, which was completed
and produced a few weeks afterward, he
had left his native New England for the first
time an<l had never seen the inside of a
regular theatre. The work was undertaken
and finished in three weeks. But American
plays were not then as plentiful as managers
find them a century later, and Messrs. Gal
ium & Henry, of the John Street Theatre,
gave his manuscript their immediate atten
tion, and probably astonished the author by
accepting it
The theatre which the play was
given was built for theatrical
purposes in 1707. It was an
ugly stiucture, mostly of wood and painted
red, and it stood on the north side of John
street, on the site of fh ■ building now nuni
bered 15 and occupied as a seed store. The
main structure was atsmt sixty feet from
the street, a rough wooden passage wav ex
tending from the sidewalk to the ilooi-s.
During the revolution it was used by the
British officers for dramatic purposes
and Maj. Andre was one of the performers
there.
The theatre was doubtless very little like
those of the present day, but that some of
the customs have survived will appear from
the following comment from the New York
Daily Advertiser of April 4, 1787: “The
musicians, instead of performing between
the play and the farce, are suffered to leave
the theatre to pay a visit to the tippling
houses, and the ladies in the meantime must
amuse themselves by looking at the candles
and the empty benches.”
The painful but natural inference from the
above is that the men in the audience fol
lowed the example of the musicians or the
ladies might have looked at them. The or
chestra of the present day is not open to this
criticism and the candles have disappeared,
but it is questionable whether the male pir
tion of the audience has kept up with the
march of progress.
There was but little previous announce
ment of the new comedy. It was iu four
acts, anil the scene was laid in New York.
The title was given it because its lines dis
played the contrast between American hon
esty and simplicity and the affectation of
dissolute foreign “swells.” The really inter
esting character in the play was “Jonathan,”
a Yankee. This was anew creation, the
prototype of the many characters which
have been portrayed by Yankee Hill, Dan
Marble, Joseph Jefferson, Denman Thomp
son and others. He was the shrewd yet
simj minded countryman, and the
portraiture made a great hit. The
part was lakeu by Mr. AAigncll, who bail a
high reputation as a comic actor. Among
the others in the east were Mr. Henry, Air.
Galium, Mr. Morris, Mr. Harper, Mrs. .Mor
ris, Mi-s. Kenna and Miss Tuko. AVignell
was very successful, though Ins dialect was
not quite right, which was, perhaps, natural
in an Englishman. He was long a favorite.
Two years later, when Washington attended
the John Street Theatre, on the occasion of
Wignell’s benefit, the audience was pleased
to observe that tile* favorite actor was able
to excite the hearty laughter of the Presi
dent. Mrs. Morris was the comedy lady of
the company. She was otherwise noted for
her eccentricities, one of which took the
form of Jtii exaggerated dislike to being seen
in daylight, so that she had a gate made in a
neighbor’s garden wall that she might pass
from her lodgings in Maiden lane to the the
atre without observation.
“The Contrast’’ was not a striking play,
but many of Its hues were bright, and, of
course, the best fall to “Jonathan.” He in
dulges in a description of a visit to the thea
tre, which lie made by mistake, witnessing
a play under the impression that the re
moval of the curtain had enabled him to
see into the next neighbor’s house*. When
told that he has really seen a play he ex
claims: ’'Mercy on my soul! Did I see the
wicked players! I vow, now 1 come to
thiuk on it, the candles seem to burn blue,
and 1 a:n sure where 1 sat it smelt terribly
of brimstone.”
The success of “The Contrast" was doubt
less one of the influences which work to
bring about in this country a decided revo
lution of sentiment with regard to the
drama and theatrical amusements. The in
tolerance and prejudice against which the
drama had so long 1 *een struggling gradu
ally gave way, and in a few years a play by
an American author ceased to be a novelty.

Extraordinary Premonition.
From the lieligio-Philotopkical Journal.
The Midlaud Advertiser, published at
Wodnesbury, Eugluud, contains a singular
narrative. A girl named Louisa Bonn, liv
ing with her mother in Queen street, Wedneu
bury, some time ago e*xpres-.i*d a desire to go
to America, and her friends ultimately yield
ed to her wishes. A suggestion, however,
was made to her to go to Australia, aud,
despite her mother s remonstrances, she* de
cided to go there. The* family was poor aii<l
great difficulty w as experienced in collecting
the necessary funds and in providing the
gil l with an outfit. Her Ik>x was forwarded
to London, and she followed to join the Ku
puniln. Then followed the' most extraordi
nary part of the affair. The mother, who
was prostrated with grief, began to huve
strange visions. Kc;-at*'dly she imagined

ocean, and that iijh.ii this rock there was a
large bird. Then sin* would sceaship loaded

ROYALTY AT A BALL.
How the King and Queen of Italy Lock
and Act in the Presence of Guests.
Presently there is a buzz, says a writer in
the Philadelphia Telegraph , describing a
ball in the |efface of the King of Italy. All
i the !adi- - in the diplomatic parquet stand
| up. The other ladies follow their
The doors are thrown open. The orchestra

' cer.s and lu.be- of tfie household. Then there
j is a courts; 'big of the ladies nearest the
J door ami their majesties iq>;>car. the King
| ami tli" Queen, arm in arm, bowing right
! and left. The ladies all around the room in
cline tiuir lieaiis us her majesty walks
I across to the din*, where she seats herself.
1 ImmediateJy uimn her lieing seated a gentle
man of e :urt gives a signal to the othei
ladies, who resume their places. The King
strolls down th room to where tin Ministers
and Senators are standing and engages in
conversation with them. Her majesty anil
! her toilet are the cynosure of all eyes. She
i bears the ordeal unconsciously. Scarcely a
I minute elapses In-fore the sot is formed for
the royul quadrille. The German amhassa
! d<#r. dean of the diplomatic (Tops, approaches
[ the rtias and leads the Queen to her place.
| The other ambassador* select as partners the
I wives of their colleagues and the set is
I formed. usually uinut twelve in all. The
| King does not dance. Ho is iu evening
dress, just the same as every Ik xly c)s*“. ex
cept the Italian officers'. Even the diplo
i mats are without uniform. He converses with
| different jxirsons during thequadrille. The
Queen, on the contrary, enters with spirit
into the dunee and combines easy grace with
dignity. For any one else than a Queen it
would be an embarrassing position, with
every eye in the great throng up-on her and
her movements. The dance over, the Queen
returns for a moment only to the dias. Then
she g'<e.s over to the seats of the ambassa
dresses and sits down for a chat. She goes
from one to another until she has spoken
with ever lady in the diplomatic corps.
Meanwhile the general dancing is going on.
Immediately u]on the conclusion of the
royal quadrille the other large rooms are al
ways throw nmjxm. and the drifting of a tide
of persons into these apartments leaves less
of a crush on the dancing floor. Each room
is so different from its neighbor as to be in
teresting of itself, and on ball nights is par
ticularly brilliant and pretty, with its par
terres of flowers, its thousands of gas jets and
candelabra and it s throngs of pretty women,
in one of the nour at the end of the suit." a
buffet is spread all the evening. Once be
gun, the (lancing goes on continuously until
almit 3 o’clock in the morning. Their maj
esties lend their presence to the. fete until
about 1 o’clock, when, accompanied by their
suite, they retire to the royal supper room.
Almost simultaneously two other supper
rooms are opened at different ends of the
palace, one for the ladies and their cavaliers
and the other for men unattended by fair
companions. In the men’s banqueting hall
there arc no chairs, only a long table on
which arc placed the good things, liehind
which stand the red-liveried lackeys, and in
front of which is the dense mass of pushing
and scrambling guests. The ladies’ supper
room is a much prettier sight. All over the
wide expanse of floor arc scattered very small
tables, aliout which cluster little groups of
ludißs and gentlemen, a js rfect army of the
palace servants moving here and there
among them. The supper is always very
good, and the two Quirinal balls are. for a
variety of reasons, considered the chief events
of every season.
NEW ORLEANS’ TEAM WINS.
The Southern League Season Opened
in the Crescent City.
The Southern League season was opened
in New Orleans yesterday. The initial
game there between the Mobile and New
Orleans clubs was scheduled for Saturday,
but owing to the assurance of a larger pa
tronage on Sunday it was postponed a ilav.
The Crescent City team won by a score of
sto 3, but it was u victory snatched from
defeat. Up to the seventh inning Mobile
was in the lead. The New Orleans team
did splendid work in the last two innings.
New Orleans, April 17. —Thenewliase
ball park, was opened to-day for the first
Southern league game in New Orleans.
There wore nearly 5,000 people present.
Both the New Orleans and Mobile teams
showed up finely, and the contest between
the pitchers was magnificent. Aydelotte
struck out, 13 men, but was bit five times
safely, while New Orleans only made three
clean hits off Kelly. Mobile led at the end
of the sixth inning by a score of ‘J to 1. Then
Kelly and the nine became rattled, and fine
base running helped New Orleans to pull
out a victory. Atkinson umpired a good
game. Powell anil Duffy made some very
pretty fly catches, but ‘the game had no
other special feature. The following is the

The Augusta and Chattanooga railroad
directors, the Oglethorjx* Pehn says, have
apjiointed J, \V. Tiller collector for the road
with instructions to collect the first install
ment of 10 per cent, of the subscription by
.'lay 1. As this call is contrary to what was
intimated by the lx>ard when it was elected,
the subscribers are said to In* mostly refus
ing to meet the demand until they can see
further into the project .
Railway Building in 1887.
Considering the inclement weather dur
ing the fu st quarter of this year, the pro
gress of track laying has been very great.
The Railway Age, reports that 1,040 miles
of new main track on 40 different lines, in
25 States and Territories, were laid during
the first three months of 1887. On this basis
a total construction of 8,000 to 10.000 miles
would seem prolialile in 1887, were it not,
the übove journal says, for the general un
certainty relative to the operation of the
ini "rotate commerce law. The mileage
laid in the period under review is
the largest ever laid in that time
with one exception. This was in 1882, when
the total mileage built exceeded 11,500 miles.
The bulk of the track laid was projected
previous to the enactment of the law above
mentioned. The next few months will de
cide definitely whether the present year will
exceed all but the one mentioned, or whether
the law will discourage further extensions.
Half of the total mileage laid is to be cred
ited to Texas and the Indian Territory, each
of which has built 250 miles. Kansas has
built 100 and California, 70 miles. The re
mainder of the total is furnished by numer
ous extensions scattered throughout the
various States.
Common Railroad Time.
General Manager Haines, of the Plant
system, was elected President of the Time
Table Convention in New York on Thurs
day. The other officers elected were J. M.
Toueey, General Superintendent of the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company, and I). J. Chase. General Super
intendent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
F‘* Railroad Company, First and Second
Vice Presidents respectively, and W. F.
Allen, manager of the National Railway
Publication Company, Secretary. The con
vention adopted the summer schedule for
the running of connecting trains, and fixed
May 15 as the day on which it shonld go
into effect. Hereafter the time for chang
ing to the summer schedules will be the
Sunday nearest to May 15, and for the win
ter schedules the Sunday nearest to Nov. 15.
No railroad company is compelled to adopt
the recommendations of the convention, but
they have great weight as giving the opin
ion of a large number of practical men of
acknowledgixl standing in their profession.
Therefore they are almost invariably put
into effect by the companies.
The F. R. and N. Company.
lYhiie no official statement has yet lieen
given out, Kiel nan’s Wall Street Sum mar;/
says it is understod that the Flolida ltaiiway

From Paris to Pekin.
A scheme lias lieen developed in Europe
to build u railroad from Paris to Pekin,
China. It is said that the route is |**rfect!y
feasible. From Paris to Kkateruileerg. on
the Siberian frontier, is about 2.500 miles.
Thence the road would go across the Ni-
Ix-riun plain, by Omsk and Tonis!;. r<) the
Mongolian t roneier. From EkuterintN'ig to
I’ekin is ulsiut e‘1.500 miles, making the total
length oi the road from Paris to IVkin about
li.OIKI miles. After nil (lie railre )ae| would

Fashion Notes.
The prettiest of doylies are of embroidered
silk bolting cloth.
Turbans are to b3 worn more than ever
the coming season.
The peasant sleeve with wide puffs and
bands is very stylish.
Little coil or knot ear-rings, chased or
plain, are still favorites.
Pompadour silks are recommended for
dressy frocks for young girls.
Watered ribbon is much worn as sashes,
both for house and street wear.
The sash curtains of striped ehambray
gauze are very pretty and dainty.
Many of the dressy new hats and bonnets
are trimmed entirely w ith ribbon.
Corded ginghams are among the pretty
new fabrics for the coming season.
The peasant waist is still the prettiest
mode for a young girl’s house waist.
Red is notably the color in early spring
millinery, as it has been the past winter.
Single-breasted jaek-'ts are again made
with two darts, and are very closely fitted.
Dotted book or Swiss muslins appear this
season in pale tints of pink, blue, lilac and
corn color.
The new sailor hats for the year are
higher in the brim, and the favorite tone is
a light brown.
Oriental scarfs and colored silk handker
chiefs are to be used to trim some of the new
straw bonnets.
Dull red corduroy skirts are quite pictur
esque as well as stylish. Dark green is
worn w ith them.
The newest tailor suits have very broad
waistcoats opening over shirt fronts of Tus
sore or China silk.
Black bengaline, which has been so exten
sively used for short wraps, is this season
also much used for dresses.
Double stripes and stripes of irregular
widths, narrow stripes and hair lines are all
seen in the new spring goods.
Some new sleeves are pointed at the top.
the point extending nearly to the collar be
tween the fronts and backs of the shoulders.
Basques of cashmere of fine w’oolea have
their edges corded with the same material.
Silk basques may be plainly faced or else
corded with silk or with velvet
Satin braids in rich dark shades are the
bonnets chosen to be worn with tailor suits
of cloth. They are graceful in shajie, and
velvet ribbon loops and fancy bead aigrettes
are the usual garniture.
In riding habits there is anew dark blue
cloth, mixed v.’ith white—the same as men’s
driving coats are made of—which is novel,
and is to be found in thick and thin melton
cloth, for bodice and skirt.
Very long and full overskirts, slashed on
one side and only slightly draped, are worn
by young ladies over a foundation skirt that
may be gored, but must uot l*> too scant, as
all skirt draperies are growing more and
more voluminous.
The coni sleeve, with cuff and wristband,
is an established fact. The puff is set on the
upper half of the sleeve, on the lining, which
is of coat-sleeve shape. The outer fabric is
cut in points or turned back in revel’s, the
puff being shirred underneath.
