THE UNDERSTUDY. BUBACTORS WHO MUST BE READY TO TAKE PRINCIPALS' PLACES. D?I*y? and Uncertainties Th<iy Fl?4 In Getting; to the Front-They May Go Tbxou?h an Entire Season > With No Cipe to Sbow Their Powers. Af$er two years of patient waiting and k study a yoong actress, who was an un? derstudy in one of the principal stock companies in .town, gave np her position the other day because daring all that time she never got an opportunity to dis? play her talents before the public. She was on the salary list of the company ,, and as wages are paid 52 weeks in the year by that particular organization it seemed rather like quitting a good thing, but it was not a question of finance with her. She is an actress of recognized abil? ity, and/understudying was not particu jr- larry suited to her taste. She had part after part in new plays and reproduc? tions, but the principal somehow or oth? er managed to get through without being i ill, or never suffered any mishap, so it seemed as if the actress was destined* to "become a permanent understudy. This instance ig only one of numberless simi? lar experiences showing the trials and tribulations of understudies. AH the big stock companies are well supplied in the matter of understudies, : and while they are required to keep a certain number of professionals on hand they have innumerable applications from amateur aspirants for histrionic honors, ? who are only too willing to serve as un? derstudies on the chance that some acci? dent will take them to the front. Most of these come from the different schools for the training of actors. The under? studies receive their parts almost at the, same time they are delivered to the prin? cipals. They are rehearsed regularly, with the company and are presumed to be aa well prepared for the first night of ft play as the principals. Manager Charles Frohman's company is probably one of the best equipped or? ganizations in the country in tooway of ? understudies. Eight of these are em? ployed as regular members of the com? pany the year round, and while they are probably not seen more than once or twice during a season they are always ready for any emergency that may arise. Augustin Daly's and A. M. Palmer s com? panies are ateo well supplied with under? studies, and both have long lists of ama? teurs ready to go on at a moment's no? tice in case of sickness or other necessity. Every big traveling organization gen? erally carnes two understudies while on the road. Some companies dispense with their services, b^ow^ver, by requiring the members of the company to make them? selves proficient, in two or more parts. Thus if toe first comedian should sud? denly be incapacitated the second come? dian jumps in, and so on aB through the cast. The understudies who travel regu? larly with the company are usually a man and a woman. The former under? studies all the actors, while the latter is . perfect in all the feminine roles. Their salaries and expenses are on a par with those of She princip?is. Although many of the stars now con? spicuous in the theatrical firmament be -, gan their dramatic career as understud? ies, it is not often nowadays that the stars themselves are understudied. It is generally assumed by the managers that the star is the attraction for the public, and to substitute somebody else is to practice a deception which is injurious to the show. In some instances, how? ever, where the star has had to be re? placed by an understudy, the latter has made even a better bit than the star. Billy Crane was an understudy in the beginning, and Manager Joe Brooks tells an amusing anecdote of the ^actors first experience as an understudy. He served in that capacity with a company that produced "The Daughter of the Regi? ment" in trna city some years ago. Among the parts which Crane had to commit to memory was that of the no? tary. It was a particularly hard part be? cause the notary had to begin by de? claiming* long legal notice. Crane got the part pat,' but in order that there should be no possibility of his making a break he copied the process into a book which the notary was supposed to carry. The notary wore a robe that trailed on the floor. In making his entrance Crane's foot became tangled np in the robe and he pitched headforemost on the stage. The book with the prompt lines flew across the stage. Crane pnlled himself together in a moment, and without los? ing his presence of mind began firing the process off. He went through with? out a break, and his original entrance made a hit with the audience*. One of the most notable instances of understudying was that furnished while Denman Thompson was in the midst of his long run with "The Old Homestead" at the Academy of Music. Walter Gale, whose characterization of Happy Jack, the tramp, was supposed to be inimi? table, was ill, and at the eleventh hour the manager heard of the trouble. The part was a most important one in the cast, and nobody could be found to take it among the members of the company. Finally a young Irishman named James Fitzgerald, who was acting as dresser to Thompson, astonished that actor by de? claring that he. would take the part. It seems that he was understudying Gale right along unknown to anybody. Fitz? gerald went on that night and imitated Gale to a dot in everything except the latter's soul racking cough. Young Fitzgerald made a hit and played Happy Jack many times, but his career was brought to an untimely close by an at? tack of pneumonia, to which he suc? cumbed.-New York Sun. AN- ANIMATED NEWSPAPER. An Old Man Beads the News and Tolls It to His Customers. "Speaking of queer occupations," said a Fourth street merchant, "there is an old fellow down town who makes a good living reading the newspapers. Of course everybody reads the evening paper, but in the rush of business the morning pa? pers may get lost in the shuffle. The old man gets out of bed at an early hour and gets a copy of each of the morning papers as early as they can be bought. He then reads them exhaustively, and by the time business men get down town he has thoroughly mastered all branches of the news of the day. He is well edu? cated and bright and has a keen percep? tion. He then starts out, dropping in on first one and then another of his sub? scribers, for he lets his services by the week, just as a newspaper. "He enters a hank where everybody is busy. He knows the likes and dislikes of every one of Ins customers, and he en? tertains each for a few moments with the news of his choice, and then with a few passing remarks about ?he general news of the day passes on to the next. You will find him discussing the silver question one moment and race horses the next. He can tell the tips for the day and the prices of silver. He knows the latest in art and literature and is thoroughly posted in politics. He is a walking cyclopedia. He is not only a daily newspaper, but a whole file of newspapers, with a lightning reference index. He tells you the news of the day, and if asked will refresh your memory on past events. He is strictly business, and while he answers every question asked by a subscriber freely he abso? lutelywiH dot talk to the nonsubscriber. "If you want to talk to him about the happenings of the day, you must pay a week's fee in advance. . Then he will see you every day for a week. If you are at your Office regularly, he will come to you daily, but if you fail to be on hand there that is your loss. One beauty of his system is that he has no bad debts. He has a preferred list of 10, whom he charges $1 a month, and upon whom he waits at any hour they name. Then his common customers pay 10 cents ? week, and he agrees to see them all before noon. When a subscriber's time is up, the fact is mentioned, and unless pay? ment is made at once you can't get the old fellow to open his mouth. Pay him, and he is?at your service. "He is strictly business and does not re? gard himself as an excrescence on the face of business, nor is he so regarded by his customers. He is a kindly old fellow who has a smile for everybody, and for whom everybody has a pleasant word. He does not bear tales, hut con? fines himself strictly to what is in the pa? pers, and thus avoids the responsibility for toles he might otherwise be able to telL"--Cfocinnnati Times-Star. The "Growing Hand" For Plants. "It seems incredible," said George Marsh to the corridor man at the La clede, "that there should be such a thing as 'a growing hand' in the planting of flowers and other plants, but it is recog? nized even hy florists, and it has grown to have a regular name. Some people will read directions for preparing the soil and planting the seed or slips and fol? low them faithfully, and yet nothing will grow, or if it grows at all it will he stunted and almost worthless, while an? other, without half the care and trouble, will have everything live and thrive. "I saw a little girl bring back what appeared to be worthless sticks of some plants which she had found in'the woods. Her mother wanted them to live, and selecting the best she planted ind tended them With the greatest care. Fhe little girl took the ones that had been discarded and started a little 'gar? len/ as she called it, of her own. The mes that received the attention died. Fhose which the little girl stuck into the ?round lived and subsequently bloomed, [t would appear as if plants had an affin ty for some people and not for others.'1 -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Why He Was an Exception. "It makes me tired to see the manner n which these newspapers are run," said ;he man in the smoking car as he took )ff his glasses and let his paper drop ?ross his knees. The man who sat next to him had one eek of hair-an oasis in a desert of scalp -which he spent most of his time in moothing reflectively. "I s'pose," he said slowly, "that you sould give 'em all points?' ?Tm sure of it. Couldn't you?" "Nb, I don't think I could." "Do you mean to say that you couldn't ell the editor how to run his paper?" es laimed the kicker in a tone that had ab? ?fate dismay in it. "I do, indeed," replied the man with he oasis earnestly. "Well, I must say there are not many ike you." "I know it. I used to be like you are. Jut now Fm trying to run a newspaper ayself, and 111 tell you, my friend, Fm tot saying a word, not a word."-Wash- , ugton Star. , The Deadly Cigarette. "This idea of taxing cigarettes is a , rreat one," said the man who is always . n earnest. "They are pernicious and . ?ealth destroying. Why, I knew a man . ?rho was killed by cigarettes." "Yes, such cases are said to be com- i non." j "Such a nice young man he was too. j . Dut off right in the prime of manhood. I ! [t was a cruel blo w to his friends." "It's terrible," said his auditor, with a j sympathetic sniff. "I will never forget when they brought urn home mangled and"- j ^ "Beg pardon. Did you say 'man- i ried?" "Certainly." "But I didn't know cigarettes man- J ried." j "But, you see, this young man was , run over by a wagon load of them on j ?heir way to a Richmond warehouse, j 3e was"- ( But his listener had vanished.-Ameri- j ian Industry.

I It was Sunday evening, about 9 by the i clock, and the usual calm of that one j night in the week brooded over The Press office. A stranger enterad. Hesitatingly he thrust forth a little pack of grimy cards written on with ink and rapidly said: "Gentlemen, I'm a writer of jokes. I've got some here I want to sell. I'm desperately hard up. It's a horrible" The little man stopped short. "Are you a professional jo-ah-hu? morist?' asked a reporter. "Yes, sir," said the stranger. "At ae? rate, I was a month ago. Now I don't know what I am." He spoke the last sentence with a half groan. Then the visitor continued: "Seven years ago I was employed as a railway clerk. I liad a little turn for writing 'funny' paragraphs. So I left railroad? ing. I've written jokes and paragraphs and verses for nearly every paper there is in town. Sometimes I made $50 a week and sometimes double that amount. But since the new year began I haven't earned a $10 bill. I have a wife. Well, we've been pretty nigh starvation, and the landlady wanted to put us out for not paying our rent only yesterday. Oh, Lord, this is what I've come to! Yes, yes; I saw that you gentlemen looked at my shirt. I know my degradation, and you needn't be afraid of hurting my feel? ings. There aren't enough left to be hurt." The reporter sent him to the night city editor. That gentlemen dived into his pocket and produced a shining half dol? lar. The entire staff contributed, and a small amount of money was realized. The reporter who had first talked to the stranger was assigned to go up to the lit? tle man's home and do what was best with the money. As if dazed, the man in the flannel shirt followed him. A short walk brought them to bis home. Strewn over the sidewalk lay the scant household goods of the family of two. The reporter interviewed the land? lady, while the little man sat down in one of his own chairs outside with a blank look on his face. "That couple," the burly landlady was meanwhile saying. "Why, they're the most worthless lot around. They haven't paid for a month, and tonight I just put their things out in the street. The wife? Oh, she was taken sick or something, and they carried her to the hospital in an ambulance." To the hospital the reporter rushed, leaving the husband stil? sitting in a chair on the walk. The .louse surgeon came to the door. "This case from 85 D-6treet?' he asked. "Dead; died 10 minutes ago. Cause-malnutrition and lack of care, together with exposure. In plain English," cheerfully explained the doctor, "that is starvation. Look at the book if you like." . Then the reporter broke the news to the bereaved husband and returned to the office.-New York Press. A Cure For Rheumatism. A well known member of the bee? keeping fraternity has been lecturing in Northumberland on that particular form of small industry to which he has de? voted himself, and in the course of his address he dwelt not merely on the finan? cial but the hygienic advantages of bee culture. He informed his audience that he was the father of twelve chil? dren, all living, and ascribed this fact to the liberal use of honey as an article of diet, adding that he gets a good deal more money from the local doctor for honey than the doctor gets from him for medi? ?me. More than that, he has derived another personal advantage from keeping bees in his complete freedom from rheuma? tism, from which he previously suffered, and has no doubt that this pleasing im? munity is entirely due to the beneficial influence of bee stings. We have heard of people flagellating themselves with nettles, but the beauty of the bee cure is that there is no necessity for any exer? tion on the part bf the patient.-West? ern (England) Gazette. Princess and Shoemaker. On one occasion at Bournemouth Prin? cess Maud went into a shoe store and purchased a pair bf rubbers, or, as the English call them, "galoches." The storekeeper was a little abrupt, and as the rubbers were inexpensive he declined to send them home. The princess ac? cordingly carried the parcel herself, ut within a few minutes she was met by one of her suit in search of her, and the dismay of the churlish tradesman when he heard who his customer had been can well be imagined. He had, however, the cool impertinence to place the royal arms with the crest of the Prince of Wales' feathers above the shop window and in? scribed in large letters on the plate glass, "Patronized by Her Royal Highness the ; Princess Maud." This so disgusted her tittle highness that she had a special in? junction served on the man, which re? mited in his taking the arms, etc., down. -London Letter. < A New Fad. Certain society girls have carried with ?hem constantly this season pretty little ivory covered notebooks with gold pen? nis attached by means of fine gold chains. kt any of the fashionable gatherings of ;he winter they would be occasionally iiscovered in all sorts of out of the way places hurriedly jotting down items that ' ?xcited much curiosity as to their na? ture.

"Whatever the late Professor Tyn? dall's final wishes may have been, it was not," writes at correspondent, "his desire at one time ?f his life that his remains should rest in the little graveyard at Haslemere. I remember some 10 years ago sitting next him at a dinner party at the late Earl of Dalhousie's and his ex? patiating with much zest and eloquence on his horror of being interred in a damp spot. His final resting place, the pro? fessor declared, was already prepared for him near his favorite Alpine retreat-a shelf cut m the hard rock, high up in the pure, dry mountain air, where the nat? ural process of disintegration might be accomplished with as few of the painful adjuncts of decay as might be. He laughingly volunteered tb provide con? tiguous rocky shelves for any like mind? ed friends. "I may perhaps be allowed to add that through all the intervening years I have retained a most vivid impression of the enthusiasm with which Professor Tyn? dall dwelt on the wilder beauties of na? ture. He assured me that he lived on Hindhead not for the sake of the exqui? site summer days, but for the w?d even? ings of spring and autumn, when storms and mists and rainclouds sweep across the open hillside. His artistic enjoy? ment of such a scene seemed to me quite as keen as his scientific appreciation." Westminster Gazette. Flower a Big Bater. Roswell P. Flower is a funny fellow when he eats. He has always been used to good things, and he knows them now when he sees them. He is a big eater and a fair drinker. But his peculiarity is that he always wants a whole canvas? back duck to himself. If there are 20 at dinner or only 2, a duck is placed before the governor, with a big carving knife, and he helps himself to the slices as he wants them. He does not want his duck carved for him, nor does he want to share it. But he will pay the bill for as many ducks as may be necessary to supply the whole party, even if all want separate ducks. All the hotels know his peculiar? ity and look out for him.-New York Herald. _ Bobby Burns and the Mayor.
