DEAR AND DlftTY DUBUnT
T ■'
It Mow Hm • Music Hall, Wltk MMttMMS
For th* Fair B*x.
Dublin may be dear and digrtw. It Is
also dramatic and loves gayety. Thus
Witbin the last few weeks it has ad<w
Unto itself a new thqater add a new music
hall, says a writer in the Lobifo n B£*tcn.
It la now 18 years since Ore robbefl l»j|f its
Theater Royal, which its people rswaHM,
and with acme truth, as the finest'gUy
house in the three kingdoms alter Drury
Lane, and naturally there wM a great:
rush for seats on its reopening by Messrs.
Merell and Mouillot. AU Dublin to
be present, but the theater could acoqpi
niodate only 2,800 persons, and so there
was plenty of that sort of disappointment
among the public so dear to the theatrical
manager’s heart. The play was “The
Geisha.” The new theater has a pleasant
air of space and elbow room. It it, of
course, supplied with all the latest me
chanical improvements. It has a Special
large box for the viceroy, with private en
trance, anteroom and other accommoda
tions, and n splendid saloon and ladles’
drawing room. There is no pit in the old
sense, the Whole ground floor (1,000 seats)
being arranged on the American parterre
system, and all bookable at a low figure,
an Interesting experiment. The manage
ment can do with the stage what Dan
O’Connell said he could do with an act of
parliament—it can drive a coach and
four through it, enter!ng-at one side from
the street and emerging at the other into
a new carriage way.
And a new music hall has arisen in the
shape of the Empire Palace theater. It
has been built on the site of the old and
popular Star Theater of Varieties in Dame
street, which, however, it surpasses in
else, beauty and indeed in almost every
detail. A splendid stage, a proscenium
larger than that of either the Palace thea
ter or the Empire in London, accommoda
tion for over 1,700 spectators—which all
visitors may advisedly be dubbed, as an
excellent view of the stage is obtainable
from every seat in the house—capital
acoustic properties, luxurious boxes, stalls
and seats and a tout ensemble of refined
decoration In the Louis Quinse style, tn
which ivory, gold and a sou peon of faint
blue predominate, are but a few of the
permanent attractions that the new thea
ter oilers.',.•'-’»! \
The opening night was a memorable oc
casion', and the programme included the
names of many world renowned artists,
who met with as enthusiastic a reception,
as the heart of man or woman could de
sire. The wisdom of the management in
continuing to provide the public with an
excellent and varied fare has had
its reward in the packed audiences which
I nightly await the lifting of the curtain.
5 A mediocre attendance has so far not been
• recorded on the books. A special feature
F is the Saturday matinee, when no smok
> ing la permitted and when the programme,
at all times of a high class, is specially
“Bowdlerized” to please the ladles of Dub
lin, to whom the music hall had hitherto
been a terra incognita. Now all this is
changed, and ladies of high degree and
society leaders may bp seen occupying
boxes and stalls at the Empire every Sat
’ urday afternoon.
J. Leap Years Will Kan Oat.
“In time leap year wilt go out of exist
ence entirely,” explained an almanaocom
puter to a reporter, “but, as it will not oc
cur for over 800 years, we haven’t much
personal interest in the event In the or
dinary course of events 1900 would be leap
year, but it will get left in the calculation.
' In other words, while it does occur it does
not occur, simply because it is not in the
agreement that it shall occur. The story
is a long one, but it can be briefly told so
that the average person can understand it
without much difficulty. In 1582, in the
arrangement of the Julian calendar, ten
days were dropped so as to get things run
ning on the then new but the present basis
of calculating time. So as to keep things
running right it was determined that a
year ending a century should not bebls
sextile, except every fourth century. Thtts
thyre was no leap year in 1700, 1800 or
1900. It is, or at least was, rather rough
on the ladies who hdve special advantages
in leap year, for it is the only year that it
is proper for them to propose themselves in
marriage, but it has always been so in
matters affecting vjromankind, men al
ways finding reasons for restricting their
privileges. The ladles get left again in
1900, but though there will not be many
of those who see 1900 who will see 2,000,
the latter year, ending a fourth century,
will be a leap year. In this way three
days are retrenched in four centuries, and
the remaining seven days will be made up
in a little over 800 years. After that cal
endar years will be like solar years and
future errors in the calculation ot time oc
cur no more. The loss of leap years will
in thousands of years affect the seasons,
but I suppose the mathematicians of the
centuries hence will be so flip in handling
figures and calculations that they will
have no difficulty in keeping things goifig
correctly.’’—Washington Star.

Good at the Price.
It wag in the early days of the church,
and-the singing, of which the congrega
tion is now very proud, was In an embry
onic condition, owing to the scarcity of
funds, and not very good. But the church
was struggling to do ita best and its peo
ple were working hard. The warden was
one of and he had the interest of
everything very much at heart. He is
warden now, and he tells this story with
muoh of a Christian spirit or otherwise,
according to whether or not people believe
in a militant Christianity. Anyway, this
is what happened:
“I find your singing very poor,” said a
showily dressed woman to the warden in
pompous.tones, as she left the church one
morning'
The warden happened to have been the
man who had taken the contribution on
tho aisle on. which the showily dressed
woipan sat He knew the amount of. her
contribution. . > J <
“Don’t you ihink, madam,” he said,
“that we had as good a 10 eent concert as
you ever heard in your life?”
“Oh,"said the woman, appreciating his
meaning and a little abashed, “I can’t
afford to give more.” I
“Welt,” said the warden, “we can’t
afford to give any better nrasio. ’’—Seattle

i He Destroyed Hi. Danghtef. Doll to B**
Ho* the Mechanism Worked.
The heavy bunton of autocracy has not
i destroyed all the boyish Instincts in Niofa
. olos Il’s disposition, as the following an
i ecdoto, heard at a dinnpr party given in
honor of a gentleman of M. Faure’s escort
i in bis late journey, proves: The president,
after having searched all the best Parisian
• Shops to find some toys worthy of the two
’ little grand duchesses’ acceptance, and,
i having bought the everlasting golden rattle
for Miss Tatiana, was in despair for soiue
i thing out of the common to give Miss
Olga. He at last chose two wonderful
dolls, one got up as an elegant lady, the
i other as an overdressed little girl, and,
after much difficulty a most complicated
piece of machinery was inserted, thanks
i to which, when Wound up, the lady ana
her daughter begin a ludicrous bit of con- ’
vernation, which is finished by the little
girl crying because she is not allowed to
ride a donkey on account of her gauze
dress.
The baby grand duchess was delighted,
I but not more so than her father, who, it
l appears, spent an hour on the floor with
i the child listening to the squeaky dia
logue between the doUs. But the tfcpe
came when the princess had to go to bed,
i which she did very reluctantly. As for
the emperor, he remained an instant in
the boudoir after her departure with the
two clever artificial ladies who-had taken
his fancy, while the empress, M. Faure
and some ladies and gentlemen of the
court were talking in the next room. Sud
denly a strange noise like that of an infer
nal machine was heard, followed by a loud
cry of dismay, and everybody rushed to
see what- it was.
There was the emperor safe and sound,
but with a dismal face, looking at the
dolls, which be had partly undressed to
find out the secret hidden in their bosoms,
while the dolls were chattering away as if
they would never stop. The empress, un
able to restrain her temper, snatched up
the carpeted board on Which were stand
ing and shaking the two precious ladies,
and after having crushed her busband
with a withering eye she said to a gentle
man near her: “Please send this away.
It is too bad indeed. The emperor spoils
everything ho touches.” But Nicholas
looked so peultent and the mishap was so
funny that she could not help laughing.—
Philadelphia Times.
When Was the Bible Completed?
Scholars differ in opinion as to the date
at which the books now found in the New
Testament were completed, but it is prob
able that this was accomplished not later
than 180. Many centuries had passed in
the formation of the Old Testament, but
the New was all written within a single 100
years. The decision as to which books
should be received into the new canon was
not so quickly reached, for the earliest fa
thers of the church frequently quote from
other gospels, such as one “according to
the Egyptians,” or “according to the He
brews, ” and the Syrian chnrch accepted
some books not received by that of north
Africa or the western church and vloe
versa. There is a legend that at the first
eoumeneial council ot Nicaea, 825, copies
of all the Christian literature then current
were laid beneath the altar and the gen
uine books leaped out of the mass and
ranged themselves on the altar. It prob
ably contains a germ of the truth—that at
this convocation it was decided that the
books now received were apostolic or writ
ten under apostollq direction, and the oth
ers were spurious Be this as it may, the
judgment of several generations of Chris
tians certainly decided upon the value of
these books as distinguished from many
others written at about that time or later,
and the council of Carthage (897) is said
to have fixed the canon. The word “can
on” was first used by Athanasius, in the
fourth century, in the sense of “accepted”
or “authorized,” and Asrome and Augus
tine held the present New Testament as
canonical. —Clifton Harby Levy in Ameri
can Monthly Review of Reviews.
The Evil of Trade Unionism.
We are not disputing here the right of
workmen to combine for the advancement
and protection of their craft Nor is it to
be denied that such right carries with It
the right for each trade union to make
such rules and regulations aS it deems fit
for its own members. Where the mischief
Xs is when trade unions seek to make
which fetter other orkmen and
which tie the hands of employers. And
where trade unionism begins to be abso
lutely destructive in its effects on industry
is where, on the one hand, it endeavors to
make a close corporation by limiting the
number and restricting the employment of
apprentices, and where, *n the other hand,
it restricts the labor of the most competent
to the capacity of the most idle and least
efficient.
All this trade unionism does. Overtime
is objected to because, it is alleged, it di
minishes the number that may be employ
ed. But if overtime is not worked orders
cannot be executed within the time in
which they are required. Therefore, the
orders will cease to come, and because Bill
was not allowed to work extra hours Jack,
Tom and Jim will not be able to get work
at all.—Benjamin Taylor in Cassler’s
Magazine.
Rothschild’s Error.
It may require as much Imagination to
draw pleasure out of an unspent dollar as
It does to get it from an unemelled flower,
or an unkissed love, or any of the unexist
ing realities that poets deal tn.
Many a laborious and ascetic financier
inust live in a world of imagination, a
commercial dream, as little tangible as
that of the poet. “My food and lodging
are all I get for my wealth,” said the elder
Rothschild. He was mistaken; ho forgot
his dream of wealth. too, was one of
the poets of a financial age. Nor, lastly,
can it be that the delight of giving one
self up to an impassioned thought, of
which one is as sure as death and for
which one is willing to die, is no| still,
as it always has been, the keenest pleas
ure of a human soul.—H. G. Chapman in
Atlantic.
St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Fifteen years ago Chicago was the great
central wheat market of the west. Even as
late as four years ago its wheat receipts
were over 60,000,000 bushels, but in 1898
they had declined to 19,101,162 bushels,
while the wheat receipts of Minneapolis
were 69,668,870 bushels and those of Du
luth and Superior 56,607,397—Che total of
the two cities being 126,176,267 bushels, or
six times and a half the Chicago receipts.
These figures tell their own story of the
shifting of the trade currentsof the north
west to their natural channels and go far
to explain the remarkable growth of St.
Paul and Minneapolis from a population
of 88,000 in 1870 to more than ten times
that number in 1897.—“ The New North
west,” by J. A. Wheelock, in Harper’s

Th* Classics kuu Seiciao**.
It is easy for thoee who have never had
• true university training, who have had
their ideas of culture shaped by tbo com
mercial fashion of this particular country
and the whirl of turmoil in which our peo
ple are carried along, to persuade them
selves that wo are now quite beyond tbo
need of Latin and Greek; that tho places
of the classic languages can be and ought
to be supplied by the more practical study
of French and German. This demand for
practical and uaeful things is just as
errojjcpna.M the one previously mention
ed. It lofeT sight of the fundamental
principle in education—vis, that the solo
purpose of education la discipline in think
ing and the cultivation of attachment to
the noble and the ideal. That the classic
languages afford a better discipline to the
mind than any other is generally conceded
by the best authorities and proved by the
experience of every age. -
In our own time wo find the most emi
nent savans of Germany of this opinion,
and in England Lord Kelvin, the ex-pres
ident of tho Royal society, who for 60
years has engaged in physical research and
is easily the greatest man of science since
Laplace, comes out squarely against the
making of Greek optional in the Universi
ty of Cambridge, and tho proposition is
voted down in the senate by an over
whelming majority. Is it likely that on
this great question such mature and intel
ligent judgment can be wrong and that
of the inexperienced and the unclassic
teacher right? Training in tho classic
languages affords the desired mental dis
eiplino and stimulates a careful and ac
curate use of language and of thought,
which, as has been said before, is the es
sential condition of scientific progress.
I advocate therefore a return to tho
study of the classics as the best and safest
basis for the advancement of science; be
sides, the ideals and the philosophy and
the poetry of tho ancients, far removed
from the corrupting clamors of our time,
exert the most noble influence upon the
mind, and from that point of view alone
Latin and Greek should be maintained as
the basis of linguistic study.—Dr. T. J. J.
Leo in Popular Astronomy.
Tactics That Won.
“I’ll never forget when w e had old
Bluntly at the head of our campaign com
mittee,” said the ex-congressman who re
cently retired from politics. “All we put
him there for was as a figurehead. He
was honest, straightforward and univer
sally trusted by the people. We simply
wanted the benefit of his reputation, in
tending to make the fight without any of
his help.
“But the old chap fooled us. He took
the thing in deadly earnest and watched
things with the care of a locomotive en
gineer hauling a fast passenger train. He
bplteved in doing everything aboveboard
and was a bonanza to reporters. When a
man of some prominence on the other side
pretended to be converted to ours and
made a dramatic demonstration at a. big
mass meeting of his change of heart,
Bluntly gave it out that the fellow had
been hired to play the part and was a rank
hypocrite. When wo had made terms with
• lot of repeaters to come in and help us
out, Bluntly exposed the scheme and call
ed the attention of the authorities to it in
away they could not Ignore. When we
bought up the leaders of a certain organi
zation, promising so much for each vote
delivered from that source, Bluntly called
attention to the conspiracy and declared
that he would prosecute bribersand bribed
if It were carried out.”
“Whew I Did the fellows on your ticket
know they were running?”
“Did they? We swept the board. /Not
an office got away. Bluntly’s honesty was
so novel and refreshing that the people
were tickled beyond expression. They
couldn’t believe that a man ot his nerve
and integrity oould be indorsing the
wrong ticket, and it went with a whoop.”
—Detroit Free Fess.
It Made AU the Difference.
“Oh!” exclaimed Mrs. Midgen. She
had been shopping and visiting and had
just arrived homo when a thought struck
her. She clasped her hands together in
dismay, and in her agitation sat flat down
on the oat. “Whatever shall I dot”
“I expect you will get over it,” said
Mr. Midgen testily. He was waiting for
his tea. “What is it?” z
“I took my diary out with me instead
of that little pricebook, and if I haven’t
been and left it somewhere! Suppose
somebody should get hold of it and read
it?"
“Ha, ha!” laughed her husband. “That
will be fine sport. How I should like to
see them reading all the rubbish you have
written in it I What’s the good of going
back? You’ll never get it”
“Oh, I remember now!” suddenly cried
Mrs. Midgen. “It is my old one. So it
doesn’t matter at all. I feel quite re
llC VO(1« ’ ’
“What was in it?” said he, feeling dis
appointed.
“I used to amuse myself by copying
your love letters in it, and I imitated your
signature at the bottom of them. ”
“What?” yelled Mldgen, jumping to his
feet and grabbing at his hair. “Doyon
want people to know what an idiot lam
and make me the laughing stock of the
parish just when I’m putting up for the
vestry? Go and look for it, quick I And
offer £lO reward for it!”
And if it hadn’t been found in Mrs.
Midgen’s bag at that very moment there
is no telling what would have happened
to that household.—Pearson’s Weekly.
What Is Public Opinion?
It is obvious that there are two kinds of
public opinion. One is the popular belief
in the fitness or rightness of something,
which Mr. Balfour calls “climate,” a be
lief that certain lines of conduct should
be followed or a certain belief held by
good citizens or right thinking persons.
Such a belief does not impose any duty on
anybody beyond outward conformity to
the received standards. The one lam now
talking of is the public opinion, or con
sensus of opinion among large bodies of
persons, which acts as a political force,
imposing on those in authority certain en
actments or certain lines of policy. The
first of these does not change and is not
seriously modified in much less than 60
years. The second is being incessantly
modified by the events of the day.—E. L.
