The Visiting Seamstress Recalls Dis nter auil Omen*. From the New York Evening Sun. Vou think you’ll have it made wpli a guimpe?” and the dressmaker who had come in to help out with the chil dren’s .sewing thoughtfully contemplat ed the material before her. "Of course, 111 do as you say, and guimpes are pretty. 1 ’ But the slight tightening of the lips which accompanied this remark spoke volumes. "If folks would insist" the lips seemed to say, "if folks would insist upon dictating to a dressmaker who had made dresses for Lillian Stel lar t sifter ond who had the promise of Libiam Stellar’s own patronage, no one could expect her 10 be responsible for the final outcome.” Then the lips relaxed and the line of thought again became vocal. ”1 made. ” she said, “a dress for a little girl the o'hor day, of material something like this, only much better, and I didn't put in a guimpe. But then, it’s a point with me never to go against a customer s wishes and, of course, as you say, guimpes are pretty.” Her position at length defined and her opinion Justified the woman who had consented to sew for two or three days to get the children ready for spring ti lenced her voice in favor of the shears, whose ‘‘snip, snip, snip” continued to ut ter a protest against any clothes except those of Lillian Stellar’s usister, and against guimpes in general, as being far, far behind the latest styles from Paris. But the shears were not suffered long to have it all their own way. They spoke in quick Jerks or in long sweeps, but they were too limited in expression o suit the nervous little who wield ed them. “Do as you’d be done by,” she said, as she laid them down and snapped off a long basting thread. “Do as you’d done by and you’ll never be punished. I tell you I’m afraid 10 do any other way. I’m afraid of fire. Maybe you’re not so afraid of fire as I am. I’d be very sorry if you were, for it’s an awful thing to have fire bop right out of the stove at you as it does nt me every time the cov er’s off. Of course, most folks laugh at me when I say that, bu it isn’t anything to laugh at. Why. many’s the time I’ve seen a fire so low down that you’d al most think it was out, ajid Just let me touch a paper to it and It flames right up and makes a dart at me. But it never hurts me unless I’ve been doing wrong, and that’s the reason I say I’m afraid to insist upon having my own way or to do except as I’d be done by.” Silence as far as the voice was concern ed here reigned, while the shears again got in their work. she resumed. “I’ve had some pretty sad warnings and I expect the next will about do me. Now, my hus band, when he was alive, he didn't sulphur matches; he said they got in his rose and choked him and that they were too slow, anyway We were keep ing house then, and I got frightened a the sputtering kind that fly, you never know where, and so I just told him I wouldn't have any more parlor matches in the house to set the cur tains on fire and burn us out of house and home. I didn’t want to waste them, of course, and so I took nil we had down to the woman cn the floor below and gave them to her and then I got some boxes of sulphur matches. And what do you suppose? You see. it was of a Sunday, and I was going to make a pie. Now. 1 shouldn’t have been baking on Sunday, but there I was. flying right in the face of what I ought and ought not to do. I was baking over an oil stove and when 1 went to light it up, if the end of one of those matches didn't break right off and set me on fire! Well, 1 put that out and didn’t take warning. “You never use on oil stove, do you? Well. 1 tell you if you ever should just cover up the oven with some pieces of carpet when you want to bake and It will bake fine. I’d done that any num ber of times on week days and no trou ble. but when I went to cooking on Sun day it was differen'. After the pie was baked—it was a custard pit, I remember —I Jus4 put the pieces of carpet into the closet where I always kept them. By and by. I began to smell smoke and it got smokier and smokier, and still I never thought of it being a Judgment on me. not until I opened the closet door and found the carpet on fire. My! but that was an awful day! “But if I hadu’t been so determined about those matches, and if I hadn’t been baking on Sunday. I don’t be'ieve it would have hoppened ns it did happen. “It isn’t always so plain to see Just whnt is wrong, but I’ve been burned out twice besides. And so. as I say, I don’t care to be too set in my way. “Snip. snip, snip,” went the shears. “You still think you’d rather have it with the guimpe, do you?” said the little dressmaker. —Lord Roberts owed his command of the expedition into the Afghanistan, against Ayoob Ivhan, to the late Lord Lytton, then Viceroy of India, with whom he was a great favorite. There was groat opposition to his appointment, but Lord Lytton made a personal appeal to Lord Beanronsfield.

During the last few* y ars a highly in teresting phase of (he drama in Amer ica las betn the rapid.y increasing prom inence of (he Jew’ in matters theatrical, notably cn the managerial side. There has beer a great deal of discussion about •he theatrical irust, where the canny, bus iness touch of (he Hebrew is particularly noticeable. In this < onnection an article by Hillary Bell in the New York Press, on the “occasion of die reopening of (he Olympia theater in New York fcv George Lederer, is of interest. The writer ds elaims any bias in: favor of the Jew by saying that he is a Presbyterian and his views in the main seem fair. The Jews are an ente prising jeople, says Hb.ary 8011. Always im-lintd toward art, they have recently forced their way upward in the theater. Anti-Semitic journals have contested their progress step by step, ye* our music and are graduall. los ing their once distinctively Gen ile com plexion and be oming Hebraic. Rachel was a Jewess. Bernhardt is a Jr wees; Edwin Booth was a Jew by blood and inherited genius. Olga Nether scle, Emma Calve, Lilli Lehmann, An te n Seidl, Mrs. James Brown Potter and Minnie Seligman, if not Jews, were of Jewish extraction. The greatest of all impresari!, Maurice Gran, is a Jew. The most enterprising and powerful of mod ern managers. Charles Frohman, is a Jew. The most artistic and refined or theatrical directors, Daniel Frohman. is a Jew. The Haymans, Klaw and Krlang er. Nixon and Zimmerman are Jews. We- I er and Fields are .Tews. Heinrich Con red is a Jew. Th-‘ Sires are Jews. Ru dolph Aronson is a Jew. There are al most as many Jew’s controlling the stage as there are employed in its perform ances* * It is not po>B ble that the art' of our theater shall become a separate province .-if the J ws. It is not only possible, but probab>, that the government of its ven tures it ay be engross and by the Jews. Our Hebrew iriends have ('©dared remarkable aptitude for its affairs. They are shrewd students of public taste, th y are courag eous in expend ture, they are gcod losers, rhey are philosophic and abundant in hope, they have not personal fads or fan cies to force upon the audience, they do not take themselves or the drama too se riously, they regard the entertainment of •h* people as a legitimate business and conduct it cn business principles. Semitbm seems to be the spirit cf mod ern advancement in the drama and mu-ic. Gentile management has many laults of which Hebraic management is free. Wi h in the past doz n > ears we have observed that various once famous and prosperous Christians have been forced by the r own errors to relinquish control cf play-hous es that are now successfully conducted by Jews. Managers who insist on giving en tertainment which they want rather than providing amusement that the public wants have fallen by the wayside. Lester Wallaek, who deeded that his patrons must aecfpt o and comedy whether or not they liked it, went Into bankruptcy. By forcing!* Lillian Russell on us at a tim° when" f*e was out of favor. IT nry E. Ab -ley want into ba kruptcy. A M. Palmer fdl into disaster becaus? hr s t his own oph ion against that of th* public. The Jews have no nonsense or selfish s ntimtnt to the running of a theater. Or afn Christian managers have compe 1- ei t' eir patrons to accept haling women with whom their relations were meretri cious; other. 4 Lave Ore and their audienc s to endure actors and authors for whom they had no approval. Such errors are not Hebraic. “Hath not a Jew eyes?” cried Shylock. “Hath not a Jew organs, sens s pa/sic ns. affections?” Verily, but he does not allow them to be obtruded upon the public. Business is business. A Jew’s ro mances and friendships are as strong as a Christian's,but they never interfere with his purpose in farrving out any undertak ing to which his efforts arc applied. The Jews are not only hard working, in defatigab’.e. brainy manager*; they are stlf-respeciing. Scandal, too frequent in the theater, seldom assails them. Certain of the chef managers of Eng and have lxen involved in disgraceful incidents. “Thse ” to qu to Sby.ock again, “th se b your Christian husbands.” There has never been scaneal in the public prints about our Jewish managers The Jewish entrepreneur does not, indeed, invariably carry his private decorum into public. Mr. Ziegfield is the author of and versions w’hich have shocked modesty. Mr. Aarons in troduced “Charmion” and Mr. Hammer stein gave us the “Silly Dinner.” George Ledger's nymphs at the Casino are scan tily clad, and in the costumes of Edna Wallaoe and Clara Bet* he made the Ju dicious grieve. Yet these offenses are not Judaistlc. Mr. Dunn In Twenty-third street. Senator Sullivan in Fourteenth street, and Sam Jack on Broadway are conducting entertainments that are in m w’ay to be recommended to decorous young persons. The disrobing drama is not nee ssarlly Hebraic, for it is to be noted that the majority of our pnsent lingerie entrepreneurs arc good Caholies. ip cause tiie jew ha# refused to accept theatrical entertainment as an art and prosecute* it as a legitimate business, th‘ art of acting and of writing for actors has immeasurably i regressed in Ameri ca. By his efforts the enterptise of amus ing net only New York but the entire country has been carrkd into an exact scheme which employs all the famous m dern drama*ls s. which pays ample re rr.tr e atlon to talc ted players, which ac quaints the general people with the jtrace cf the drama, which lr.orests everybody, civilian ard ruia', in the theater, which discovers new au hors end de\el.ps new actors. It was a Jew who introduced us to vaudeville. It was a Jew who developed the dainty, exquisite art of Maude Adams, who gave us ' The Little Minister” and “Rosemary.”. It was a Jew who trained Mrs. Leilie Carter Into her new and splendid eloquence of expression, and who provided in Z&za' a fit medium for her exti ac rdinary *a’ents It was a Jew wh * produced “Secret Service.' and who now fost rs the remarkab’e gifts of its author. It was a Jew who increased the general s ore of good humor by “Charley’s Aunt.’ It was a Jew’ who organized the well trained company that amuses and int* r e-ts our German citizens in Irving Place It was a Jew who picked E. A. Sothern out of a strolling troupe and developed Ir'm into a favorite actor with everybody. It was a Jew who built Olympia an 1 Vic toria. It was a Jew’ who carried the Ly ceum into success after it had borne Steele Mackave into disaster It was a Jew’ who lifted grand opera into pros perity, saved the Metropolitan from mis fortune. engaged the finest company cf singers that music has known, and oy his eminent skill in the conduct of operatic art in America was elected to the m: n aTcment of the operatic art of England. In these circumstances Shylo k .-mains welcome on the stage as one of the most notable figures in the Shakespearian gal lery. and his descendants in race, if not in disposition, are equally at home in the government of the stAge. The fine art. a** well as diversion, of the theater, owes much to the Jews. From Maurice Grau. the distinguished director of grand opera, to Florence Ziegfeld. the exploiter of An na Held, the art of entertaining in all its forms has felt the quickening in fluence of the Jew’s. Frcm Sarah Bern hardt to Clara Lipman the p’ay has been benefited by Jewish blood, wit and pas s:on. H %RO TO SU WHIT HE MEANT. Strange Remark of a t lifrago Youth After I'.nmiging for Service. From the Chicago Record. A tvealthy resident of Chicago, who has a summer home on one of the Michigan lakes, recently decided to hire a sort of m in-of-all-work and send him out there for the coming season. He came to the decision as he was taking an early morn ing walk out on the Lincoln Park pier. There was a mild southwest wind blow ing and the perch were biting. One young man in particular seemed to be having great lu. k. He was leaning his back against one of the piles, with his feet dan gling within a few inches of the water, and spitting languidly on his bait, wh*n he first attracted the attention of the man with the summer home. Tha ceremony over, he jerked bis line deftly out, and In another minute he had landed another perch to add to his string. He repeated the procedure three or four times, always with great languor. The man who sra* watching him. who is one of, the most energetic men in his line of business, in stantly conceived a liking for this pisca torial outcast with the dirty, faded green black coat and Impudent-looking face. He observed, by way of opening the conversa tion, that the fishing season seemed to be good. “It ain’t so worse,” drawled the youth. ‘‘Say. don’i you want to buy a string of fresh fish an’ take ’em home fer your breakfus?” “I don’t believe I do.” The young man threw in hia line as If that was about what lie expected, and presently looked up again and asked the business man if he had any smokin’ about his clo’es. "Uvo got a cigar." said the business man. “Will you try it?’’ “I’ll try it. but if it ain’t good rn want me money back.” said the youth, with an engaging smiie. He lit the cigar and blew out the smoke luxuriously, and then added: “That growed where they raised terback er! Bay, if you want to do me a favor, tell ’em to deliver me a box of them rigars to my address an’ send me the bill.” “Do you want a job?” asked the busi ness man. “What doing?” “Working for me. Well, T don’t know that there will be much of anything for you to do except fish. Can you handle a boat?” “Sure! I can fail anythin’ afloat on the laVes.” “I think you may do. then. Pome around to this address between 1 and 2 this afternoon.” “Hold on there, Oolonei, wait a minute. Do you expect to pay a man for Ashing— for Jest flehlng?<” “There isn’t much to do. I’ll expect \ou to make yourself useful around the place, of course. It's up in Michigan—t Paw, Paw. When I go out there I like fresh fish for breakfast, and sometimes 1 don’t catch ’em, so I've got a little box and I’d look to you to keep that box full all the tim*\ Then you’ll have to row around the lake and drive a horse onrle in a while.” “An' you |>ropo*e to pay wages for that ?” , “I'll pay you S3O a month and give you your clothee and board.” “It’s a go.” said the young man. “I’ll tv. around this afternoon if you’ll stake me to car fare.” The business man gave him a quarter and walked away, and the young man put the quarter well down In his pocket and went on fishing. In a minute or two he pulled in another perch, and a comrade boiled him from the other side of the pier. “Whal’d you ketch, Jimmie?” he shout ed. “Sucker,” said the young man. “You’re nutty.” said the friend; “that ain’t no sucker.” The young man looked blank for a mo ment. Then he said: “Oh, was you talk in' about the fish?” Eat-Well Extracts DON'T cost any more THAN OTHERS, and they ARE THE BEST. FOLLOWS A STR ANGE Hi SINES#. Thl* 1 oiiiik Nevada Woman Shoots W lid Horse* to Sell Tlielr Hide*. From the Chicago Chronicle. Mrs. Maud Whiteman of Humboldt, New, has a stranger occupation than that of any other woman in the I'nlted States. She shoots wild horses for their skins and earns about sf> a day at it. Wild hors s have so increased in numbers in many Western states that they are ruthlessly killed for theib hides, or they would drive cattle off the ranges and monopolize the best grazing. Mrs. Whiteman goes hunting always with her father, Henry Wilman, a vet eran of the Mexican and Civil Wars, who lost his ranch in California about six years ago by financial misfortune and removed to Nevada. Father ana daughter ride well and shoot well, it Is their custom to hitch their own horses as decoys and hide in the timber. When wild horses come up one of them carefully shoots the leader of the herd, so as 4o disable him, but not kill him. The others scamper away, but curiosity soon impels them to return. Then father and daughter open with their guns and shoot as many as possible before the herd gets out of range. The skins afe token off and dried on sage bushes and then •old for about %2 each. When hunting Mrs. Whiteman wears masculine garb, but when she comes into town she wears a black silk dress and a very feminine piumed Leghorn hat. PETITION FOR INCORPORATION. STATE OF GEORGIA.

St cowl In considering these offers, this committee having In view that Laurel Grove Oemeterj has been condemned by th* health officers for years past, as a “menace to the public health." could not entertain offers rf lands adjacent to the same, such ns offers numbered 5 and 7. The offer of “Bonaventur Cemetery, and lands adjoining, could not be ac cepted by this committee, because the pri e was mo high, rot enough land was offered, end beyond all this. “Bonaven ture” is, and has been, a cemetery since 1811*. anti it would be bad policy for the city to acquire the remainder of the land i.ot already u*'d by graves, for the pub lic cemetery cf the future. When Laurel Grove was laid out, less than tifty years ago b contained 117.9 acn s when the population of Savannah was about o e-lifth of what it is now. so tha If a cemetery should be. acquired to be laid out with narrow dilveways and small lots, as the present one is, and to los< less than half a century, about 609 acres would be required. The Cemetery of the future should he modern arid handsome, with broad drive ways. larger lots, and with land enough to supply ihe weds of our people for more than half a century* It should also he so located as not to he In the line of p obable city extension, and yet near enough; and its drainage should he In a direction from and not towards the city, nor shnu'd It be into the Savannah river. Third- After careful cc nslderatlon of the lands off nd, and of the necessary requisites of an w cemetery, the com mittee has selected the Garrard tract. Tibs tract, as offered, embraces 1.091*6 acres, extending from the Ogeechee Road, to the Savannah. Florida and Western Railway, but of which the owner haa giv en to the county a public road through same, and also a sufficient amount of land for Buckhalter canal and Its later als. leaving of tins tract 1 o>o acres, more or less, which is offered ar $45,090, to be paid for In ten years, in eoua! instal ments. with Interest at 5 re*' cffi'um, pay able s ml-annunlly. Interest not to begin, however, until Jan. 1, 1901. This tract is a handsome one. well wooded. in the right direction, southwest from the city, to be a*c sslble and yet rot In the line of the city's growth, and Is on a water shed, the drainage of which is carried off into the Ogeechee river. Buckhalter <anal Is at the foot of this water-shed, with laterals b?ing dug by the county, and the committee has the statement of (he drainage engineer of the county, that the latera’s now being dug in this tract will lower the plane of natural water level between four and seven fe-*t The elevation of this tract, at atid near the Ogtc* he H ad, is higher than Lau rel Grove, lying about 37 feet, as shown on the topographical county map. with a gradual slope towards the Buckhalter canal, neat the Havanah, Florida and Western Railway Fourth—-The committee therefore rec ommend. that the tract offered by Mr. William Garrard, hereinbefore described, and for the price and upon the terms nam < and. be adopted, and that upon the exam ination of titles by the city attorney, and his acceptance of the same. Mayor's t oies be issued in the usual form, upon the delivery of satisfactory deed. --w This committee further recommend, that the owners of I ts in Laurel Grova < ’ tnn ry shall not be deprived of the use of their dots for burial purposes, but tliar the sale of lots in that oemetefy hall he discontinued as soon as may be practical. Respectfully submitted, ISAAC (. HAAS. JAM ES M. DIXON, JOSLPH G.
