MORALITY ON THE STAGE THE PRICE OF a WOMAN’S SUC CESS AS AN ACTRESS. Blakely Hall Presents a Few Inside Facts of Special Interest to Stage etruck Women—Only One Chance In Ten Thousand for a Virtuous Woman. $ New York, Sept. 3.—A group of players stood on the platform of the railroad station at Cincinnati one day when I was traveling that way. They were a sorry looking lot. The chorus girls were huddled together, chatting in low voices and drawing their wraps closely around them. The weather was bitterly cold. Many of the girls were thinly clad. It was 8 o’clock in the morn ing. AVhile I stood looking at the baker’s dozen of shivering young women the come dian of the company, whq is now u f ambus man, came up, and, looking hard at me, put out his hand: "I scarcely knew you under all those coats,” he said, genially. “Are you travel ing West}” “lam. Is this the company you nlaved with in New York?” “The same. The ladies are apt to look a bit rocky in the morning, you know—late hours, i o'clock breakfast, badly heated rooms, and all that. They do look pale, don’t they ?” “Most pathetic looking group lever saw.” “That s because most of them are good,’’ said the comedian, succinctly and dryly. “When they have relaxed their morals they’ll be better cared for and have pleas anter times. It is our first week out. and nearly all the girls are new to thetiusiness. Mauy of them are highly respectable, but they will all go the same way of their pre decessors. It is inevitable. The conditions are such that they cannot avoid it.” I glanced at him sharply. At first L thought he was guying, hut it was evident the man was thoroughly in earnest. His mobile face was as glum as a mourners, and he looked at the girls sympathetic-alt. “When that discussion was going on bet winter in the New York papers about the morality of the stage,” he continue!, “I thought that, if some of the members the symposium of newspaper writers wio dis cussed the question at such length could travel for a few weeks with our burlesque or light opera companies, they would fipd out how far wrong they were in upholding stage life as a calling in which any woman could be respectable if she c.ho. I have baen in this business eight yers now, and always in traveling companies The condi tions are such that it is just as impossible for a woman of any attractive qualities to remain decent on the stage s it is for a man to voluntarily go without food for two or three days every week of bis life. The very instant a girl is—” Here he stopped and put his hand on my arm and said; “THAT TELLS THE STORY. “Watch this little tableau.” He drew me half aside. A carriage rolled up to the sta tion, the door was yanked open, anjl the manager of the company, a portly, red nosed and flabby man, stepped out. He was smoking a cigar pleasantly. He put his hand back in the coach and helped a young woman to the ground. She was clad in seal skin from her neck to her heels, well gloved, and her chubby face had a healthy color. She had a little poodle in her arms, and after giving it an ecstatic hug she passed it over to her maid, who followed her out of tile carriage. The manager paid his cab man, smiled amicably upon his companion, and they swaggered toward the train, with the maid walking amiably behind them. The manager nodded half surlily to the women of the chorus who stood there, and the girl gave them a bright little nod. Most of them bowed in return in a restrained und far from cordial fashion. The chunky youug woman was assisted into a parlor car, where she had a compartment to herself. They began to lay the table for breakfast before the train started from the station. The chorus girls stood in the cold and gazed in at the luxurious and wanned interior of the car. Presently one of the agents camealong and huddled them all back to the rear of the train, where they were bundled into a rickety, chilled anu ill-smelling car, with rattling windows, and no other warmth ex cept that imparted by a queer and far from effective stove at one end. Here they dis posed themselves amid their miserable and dismal surroundings as best they could for an eight hours’ journey ou one of the worst days of the season. SHE TORE UP TnE CONTRACT AND THREW IT IS HIS PACE. “That tells tbo story,” Raid the comedian shortly, nodding liis head first toward the rear car und then toward the window where the plump young woman was at breakfast.. “The girl who came in with the manager was one of the chorus when we left New York. Her salary, like that of the other girls, was sl4 a week. We hnd not been out a day before she saw the Inevitable, took the plunge and there was the whole story. She lives at the very best hotels, has comfortable ■jiartmerits, servants in plenty, furs, nutri tious meals and the best ot' traveling ar rangements. The othyr young women who started with her on an even footing live in cheap and nasty Ixinrding houses, are Iraiis|)orted from one town to tno other like cattle, and they wait for promotion with a very dismal premonition that, whenever a vacancy occurs in the upper ranks, it is the manager’s favorito who will get it and not the girl who deserves it, according to merit. Virtue on the stage and in a traveling com pany means what yqti can nee in the rear car. The women nave to carry their own luggage, pay their own bills, and fight the thousand extortionate demands that are met with at every turn in traveling. But if they once give way the way is clear. Home of them stand it a couple, of days, some of them a week, and others stick out for a month or two. But the result is almost as inevitable as death, anil any man who can t>lame the woman altar seeing what they ! t* aV j endure in the w| of privation, hardship and insult must ive a heart of I stone. - ’ This instance was brout. to my mind very forcibly last night ' an accidental meeting with a young woin who went on the stage two years ago. |e was the sister ot a classmate of mine in dege. and when she went on the stage it *iost broke her mother’s heart. I happed to l>e going through the street where ,e lives, ami 1 found her sitting on the frit steps, wield ing her fan vigorously. I ( down and lis tened to her story that I Ifl bean l lief ore, but never in such absolute id elaborate de tail, Her ways are, of coup, herown, and the morality of theatrical (anagers is not my business to any partieulr extent. Ido not care to advertise her ot the man with whom she had dealings, biihe is about as elaborate and consummate i scrtindrel as I know of. The details of tie pitienco and ingenuity tliat hodisplavedyond have done credit to a Mephistophoics, Hewas fatherly and benevolent. He introipod the pretty soubrette in his company family and insisted upon her stoppinga reek with him in his country place. He t)bl her to drivo w-ith his two daughters tq the park, and he was so careful of her ltnutitiou that he would net allow her oven to meet the mem bers of iis company except at rehearsals. 1 hen he performed the ptroiuctions him self. He was exceedingly careful to see that she alyays had an escory to tier house at night tft the play, and he held esjteeial re heancais just for her benefit, so that she mightmake as much of a lit as possible in the [arts that she played. All if this went aloig for nearly seven mentis. The girl had naturally grown loud of hm, so uure mifting and respectful were ip attentions. Bvt, in the end, she had to fece the inevi table. He placed the matter before her as absolutely and baldly as though it had been a hunk of cheese, with the iltemativo of An-cess in her profession or ai absolute and instant discharge. She tore up tb contract, threw it ill his face, and accepted the dis charge. Then she joined a company in a neighboring city. She is not a fartieularly robust girl, and she has the sweetest and gentlest manner in the world. She is, in fact, precisely the sort of a wman whom any man who is half a man woild feel called upon to protect rather than ti abuse. She is of admirable family and excellently bred. The second manager that she vent, w-ith was of the gruff and hearty type,. He was going to send her to the top of the Udder at once. He spoke to her in an open aid ingenuous manner about his facilities for aidiug her, talked over certain parts tint it was her heart’s ambition to play, andarranged with the stage manager to give her special tutor ing in these very characters. She played in this company three weeks aid then came home. This particular rus) was simply brutal. She escaped without broken limbs, and, in that alone, she was fortunate. ONE SUCCEEDED AND THE OTHER FAILED. I recall the instance of two girls w-ho started almost even in theatrical life less than four year's ago. They were warm per sonal friends, though in no way related. The first of them is a cold, statuesque and handsome sort of a womiui, with a dash of Hebrew blood in her veins and a manner that nothing ever ruffled. She took lessons in dancing, singing and elocution hour after hour every day, aud she worked like a Tro jan, even though she wasonly in the chorus. Having- perfected herself in this part of her work, she saw that she needed gorgeous cos tumes to make any sort of an impression, and she took the” usual means of getting them. The last time I saw her here in the spring she had a brougham of her own, woro SIB,OOO or fL’O,OOO worth of diamonds on the stage, and was a majestic, eompla cent, handsome and successful woman. The girl who started out with her is still respect able and esteemed by her small circle of friends. Occasionally she capers about in the chorus; at other times she aud her mother teach a children’s dancing class. They are iu wrectohed circumstances, and the dramatic career of the daughter is an emphatic; and flat failure. Yet she started out more thoroughly equipped than her com panion. Had she gone the way the other did her success would have been very much greater. The conclusion of every man who is honest, and whose experience of stage life is at all extensive, must be absolute on questions of this sort. There is abont one chance in ten thousand on the stage for a woman who is thoroughly honest and virtu ous, and who is not backed up by influential friends. The other nine hundred and ninety nine chances go to the women who accept tilings as they find them, and swallow the pill with as light a grimace as possible. These are the facts, stripped of all tawdry sentimentality and wishy-washy gush. Blakely Hall. PROFANITY AND PARALYSIS. A Sudden Prostration That Looked Like a Judgment. The Wichita (Kan.) Beacon is responsi ble for a very singular story of a young man who was suddenly paralyzed iu that city some time ago immediately after hav ing nAde a very irreverent remark. Frank Morton, of Moberly, Mo., was boarding in April last at the Arlington House, Wichita. He was a good-hearted hearted young man, but inclined to scoff at religion. Lett by curiosity, he visited meet ings then being held by members of the Salvation Army, and on a Friday night, about the middle of the month, placed him self among the penitents at the bench. After the meeting Morton, in company with a friend, repaired to the hotel, and for some time stood talking at the counter near the clerk's desk. There "’ere probably twelve or fifteen other people in tue office at the time Finally Morton’s friend said, “Good night, Frank,” and Morton respond ed, “Good night; I’ll meet you in hell be fore morning.” Almost before the words were out of bis mouth lie lay stretched on the floor, falling as if he had been struck with a club. The people in the room ran to him, and, lifting him up, they saw his closed eves and livid face, looking for all the world like death. He was gently laid back on the floor, and Dr. J. H. Hoskins, the nearest physician, was called. He sa wat once that, the man \las not dead, but thought that he had an epileptic stroke or had taken poison of some kind. After working with him for some time consciousness was restored, but 'be could not move himself to s|*'nk. After vainly attempting to speak or arise ’he motioned forjnai>cr and pencil, which was given him. The first thing he wrote was tile address of his brother, aad asked thorn to telegraph for him. Ho next wrote: “When I made my last remark I was nearer hell than I thought.” Morton was suDHequontly sent to his home. He evidently regarded his his affliction as a punishment. Among those who saw the occurence, and vouch for the truth of the story, are Isaac Roberts, proprietor of the Arlington, and several other persons well known locally. The Nineteenth Century Club is an or ganization that will consist of an equal number of men and women. It is hardly to be expected that they will agree on ail subjects; but it can surprise no one to learn that Dr. Pierce’* “Golden Medical Discov ery” is unanimously pronounced the most successful remedy extant for pulmonary consumption, and has been demonstrated in hundred* of cases; it positively arrests this disease and restores health and strength, if administered in it* early sUgea.

New York, Sept. 3.—The International Convention of the Red Cross assembles at Carlsruhe on September ±l. Delegates from thirty-two nations, comprising every civil ized country on the globe, are expected to attend the session. President Cleveland’s appointees, representing the United States, will sail from New York on Monday. They are Miss Clara Barton and Dr. J. B. Hub bell. The last Red Cross convention was held in 1884. It was said of it at the time that not a man of its 300 or 400 delegates was unknown, and that no sueti number of royalties, nobilities and military and scien tific notabilities had lieen drawn together in Kurope for years. Miss Burton then, as now, represented this country, almost the only feminine delegate in the assemblage, and, lone American woman that she was, carried resolutions and amendments that material ly enlarged the scope of Red Cross activi ties and assimilated its w orklngs in Europe to plans already put in execution in this country. Clara Barton, whose name is known the world over in connection w-ith the world’s hospital flag, the burning cross on a white ground, is a woman of 50 or thereabouts, whose face corresponds with the ideal that one might form of her character. Her hair is that rare thing in nature, artists some times call it an impossible thing, raven black. It is thick, heavy hair, a burden to the comb, and she wears it after the simple fashion of our mothers and grandmothers, drawn in satiny waves down over the ears, and pinned up in loose curls behind. Her eyes are like her hair, very dark. Her features are i-egular, hut one hardly notices them for the r are beam of good will that shines out from the soul through thecounte nanee. Miss Barton is of medium height and somewhat slender build. She is an ad mirable conversationalist and owes her suc cess in her philanthropic work not merely to her great organizing and executive ability, but also in great measure to her faculty of clear speech, to putting what she wishes done into language so simple and dii •ect that nobody can misunderstand or fail to wish to help her in it. Miss Barton was nominated as President of the American Red Cross Association by President Gar field, and in that capacity stands at the head of a movement in this country which in other lands is almost altogether in mas culine handss and which has claimed the services of some of the best minds of the time. She is a quiet, unassuming woman, living very simply in Washington, when al lowed to be at home, and though one of the most prominent, is in another sense one of the least known women in America. CLARA BARTON COMES OF GOOD OLD PURITAN stock. She is a Massachusetts woman, daughter of one Mad Anthony Wayne’s old soldiers. When Sumter was fired on she was a young woman, occupying somewhat responsible position in government employ. She threw up her piace at onco, conse crating her life to her country as truly as did any one of the thousands of volunteers who sprang to arms, aud reported for ser vice, to look after the Massachusetts men who were attacked in Baltimore on their way to Washington. Miss Barton was not an army nurse in the usual sense of the word. She was not another Florence Nightingale nor in any way like Florence Nightingale. Of the minutiae of nursing she knew and knows comparatively little. She was a woman ot unique organizing power, whose especial gifts for planning and supervising relief work were speedily recognized at the army hendqunrtei-s and at the White House. Hhe did not work with the Sanitary Commission, but was a whole sanitary commission in herself. She in spired involuntary confidence, and steam boats and military trains were placed at 1 her disposal for the distribution or supplies and the transportation of provisions." She served in the Army of the Potomac, was present at the Irat.tlos of Cellar Mountain, second Bull Run, Chantilly and Antietam; was with Burnside’s corps at Fredericks burg, was eight months at the siege of Charleston, was at the storming of Fort Wagner,at the battles of Hpottsylvania and the Wilderness, in front of Petersburg during Butler’s campaign. She was the only woman on Morris Island when shot and shell fell like hail, removing the dying and wounded. She met the AndersonvilU prisoners at their release, and to her help many of them owed it that they were able to go home to their friends in the North. It was Miss Barton who, at her own ex pense, and when military men said the thing was impossible, organized the Bureau of Records of Missing Men, making it so effi cient as to be of substantial value to the government and an inexpressible help to the soldiei-s’ friends at home. It was Miss Bar toil who urged the government to identify the graves of the men who died at Ander sonville, and who. when she was told that it could not be done, spent five years tracing the occu(Mints of the 13,000 graves, ami pub lished nt last the most pathetic volume that ever saw type, giving one line to each dead man’s name, and by a system of cataloguing indicating the place of burial so plainly that his relatives could reclaim the body if they wished. THIS DONE, BROKEN IN HEALTH, s£iss Barton went abroad. It was with her European experience that the new phase of work with which her name is now identified began. When the Franco-Prussian war broke out she was at Berne trying to rest. Within three days a number of the agents of the Red Cross, which had lieen organized in Kurope under the Geneva convention in 1804, were at the door of her villa asking for the benefit of her experience and help. She was not strong enough physically to take the same active part in relief work that she had done here, but a second call came before long, this time from tbo Grand Duchess Louise, of Baden, the only daughter of Emperor William who hail” taken the charge of the hospital work in her own hands. The story of the days she spent with the Grand Duchess, as heard from her own lips, is a horrible dream of war. The Duchess with her court formed a committee of superintendence and relief, and her castles through all Baden were turned into military hospitals. Miss Barton relates that the news of the fall of Htrasburg was brought t hem by a courier, mud-spattered and out of breath, who dropped on liis knee Iroforo the Duchess as they were catching a breath of air on the balcony, gasped out, “Htras burg is fallen,” and fainted at her feet. Miss Barton was in Htrasburg with the victors next day, caring for women whose breasts had been shot away by shells, fi-oiling chil dren and organizing relief far the wounde I. Hhe followed the German army to Paris, worked as faithfully in French and G rman as she had done in American hospitals and came home resolved to do her best to have the United Htates government., which had thus far refused to enter into the Geneva convention, give its adherence to that treaty whose beneficent workings she had seen abroad. PRESIDENT HAYES WOULD NOTHING OF IT. President Garfield promised liis help but died before matters came to a head. Presi dent Arthur put the United Htates along side other civilized nations by signing the treaty in July, 188”. The articles of the Geneva convention, into which by persis tent urging Miss Barton thus brought the United Htates, do uway with the needless barbarities of war by providing for 1 lie neutrality of all sanitary supplies, ambu lances, surgeons, nurses aud wounded men and their safe conduct when under the (lag of the Rod (,’rnss, which is the Hwiss ensign with its colors reversed. The Red Cross means that tlu-iu is but one military liom pltal flag in Christendom ami that wherever it flies, every lielligerent power respects it. To fire upon it is to I non k an international treaty. National Rear Cross societies exist in every civilised country. The American (Society, of wmuh Miia Barton is President and Dr. Hublmll general field-agent, lias milled to war relief, of which we hope to have little need, every calamity by fire, flood, famine or pestilence, large enough to be called national. This idea, which Is Miss Horton's own and whose adoption by European societies she secured in IfctH. w known as the “American Amendment,” and sufferers by the Ohio and Mississippi floods in 188” and 1884,by the Michigan fire, and Charleston earthquake, and Texas drought think it not the least important feature of the work. The American Society appoints its own delegates to the Carlsruhe Convention, !m>- sides those named by and representing the government. Mr. A. S. Solomons, of New York, and Dr. Hheldou ore of this number, named by Miss Barton, -s is Dr. Lucy M. Hall, of’Brooklyn, resident physician at Vassar College. Miss Barton will be the guest of the Grand Duchess of Baden during her stay abroad, and court etiquette will re quire her to wear the decorations she has re ceive.l, trinkets which she stows away in a liox at home. These are the Iron ( Voss of Germany presented by Emperor William, a medal from the Queen of Italy, a badge of honor from the Queen of Servia, a court jewel from the Grand Duchess Ismiao, and a good many other trifles which a good American can hardly be expected to re member. Mias Barton lias been and is on this visit likely to be feted and caressed to an extent sufficient to turn any head but one so exceedingly level as her own. Eliza Putnam Heaton. A MODERN COLUMBUS. The London "Times” Awakens to the Discovery of America From the New York World. London, Aug. 2t). —The lxmdon Tunes has “discovered” America. It announces to-day in an editorial of over a column in length that it lias undertaken the enterprise of send ing a liold and tried correspondent through “the unknown country of the United Stales to make a report upon the marvels of this wonderful country.” It prints to-day a three-column description of New York liar bor and Madison Square. Other letters are in hand from the same corres|>ondent, who, the editor says, will describe this “wonder fnl people at what seems to be the most woltderfUl moment of its material expansion and development, when the most active branch of the human race has found itself suddenly put in possession of unbounded physical resources, and when it is undertak ing the task of developing those resources with an onorgery and a success of which t ho world has never before known the equal.” Upon the information furnished by this investigation the Timex has published tin most eulogistic editorial upon the United States that has ever appeared in any Eng lish newspaper. After picturing the tre mendous progress of our country, it says: “It is impossible as one reads any such ac count as our correspondent is about to give to refrain from asking whither nil this progress is tending, and what will bo its re sult upon the American jieople themselves and upon mankind in ireneral. Merely to state the question Is to imply that it is one to which time alone can furnish an answer. The future is obscure enough everywhere, but in a country where the past has been so productive of rapid change it must ho still more inscrutable. What iuost occu pies the minds of the more reflective among the citizens of the American re public is the question whether their social organization will be able after a while to stand the strain of this extraordinary de velopment. Till now it may be said that the progress has been coui|wtratively a small affair, for the reason that the supply of land was practically unlimited, and that new settlements could be found at pleasure for new- settlers. Already, however,,this is ceasing to be the case, ;upi, although the land still continues to be, in mod parts of the continent, extremely cheap, it can no longer he had for nothing. With every year its price will rise and with every year the population will increase. Tbo danger, of course, is that serious labor troubles may be the resulLof any check upon, the devel opment of the country, whieb, after a while, must almost inevitably come. “It is often said by the Americans them selves that their whole jiolitical and social constitution, as established by the fathers of th% republic, was bused upon the theory that men were pretty nearly equal, and that there neither were nor would be any groat difference of wealth or of inviUeot or of character. Modem New York Is, however, the very negation of equality, since it con tains at once the poorest and richest popula tion of any city in the world. Will Ameri can institutions, then, bo able permanently to stand in the face of the inevitable press sure from below, which must come when labor, uaable to find ready and perpetual employment at good wogi-s, begins seriously to organize itself ? Hide'by side with this greatest of all questions gome whole groups of problems, scarcely less important, such as the effect of the continuance of the poliry of protection, and the effect of the probably increasing divergence of interest between the West and East. In one word, there are plenty of rocks ahead. But, on the other hand, the American launches of the English race has shown itself up to the present time wonderfully well equipped for dealing with its own political problems, and there seems to lie no reason why - any hut a hopeful view should be taken of its power of so doing in the future. For it must be remembered that, though every nn tion pours its emigrants into America,it is the English race which Is dominant them. A sin gle generation is enough to turn the German or the Swedish setler into a thoroughbred American, assimilated to. his native-lsirn neighbors. The Irish-American is the more difficult individual, but even, he, after two generations of lobbying and poMtiral in triguing, usually settles down into an ordi nary citizen and becomes a hard-working man of business, with a proper contempt for political bosses. It is this extraordinary power of moulding all incoming races into their own likeness which is, perhaps, the most remarkable feature of the Anglo- American people, and. as it si-eins to grow stronger instead of weaker us the time goes on, it is an augury of peace for the future,” Just Like Women. From the San Francisco Chronicle. Now, everybody knows that a woman will never allow another woman to get. the best of her in anything. Hhe may play modesty out of politeness, but if one in sists too much upon the superiority of any thing belonging to her, she will provoke bad fueling and very acrid contradictions. "I have been so ill,” said a lady calling with some others at a house uptowu the other day. “I have been very ill.” “What was the matter?” “It was pneumonia.” “Pneumonial” said another; “I had the same thing.” “But mine was very serious and I didn’t know if I’d get over it.” “Ho was mine. The doctor was quite alarmed about me." "I was in bed three days." • “I was confined to iny room four.” “But you couldn’t possibly have been as ill as I was.” “I was—even worse.” “It could not have lieen pneumonia.” “Yes, it was.” “But my case was very aggravated.” “Mine was most serious.” “Yours could not have lieen the same kind—not as id. My doctor said mino was the most dangerous case of tho kind he had ever seen.” “Mine told me 1 would surely die.” “I don’t believe it was pneumonia you had.” “I know it was, but yours wasn’t.” “I don’t believe you were sick at all.” “I know you weren’t.
