'THE' HOME TRANSFER EXPLAINED.
Tho public was hardly pre
pared, i'or the anomalous act of
AdihiratSpewey in transferring
his gifted home to Mrs. .Dewey.
Then came the second part of
," the play, in which she transfers
the home to his. son. - Washing
ton now. nas sometnmg 01 a
sensational explanation that the
hero had been making- love to
a lady in the equipment depart
ment of which lie was the head
before he wTas a hero and that an
engagement wi th her makes his
head lie uneasy on those gifted
pillows. A suit for breach of
promise was the vision that came
as a nightmare and disturbed him.
And, oh, the worry of being too
much engaged, leading to this
chain of transfers T Now there is
a clamor for the money back
that was given or his comfort,
and not for his wealthy wife or
his , son, rich! with inherited
glory and feathers for his nestap
parently lying around loose: This
would seem calculated to gnaw
like a vampire on 1 is tender sen
sibilities, but being not too over -
sensative to accept the home and
all that pertameth thereunto, too
much commiseration might be
another misplaced bestowal.
Since the above was written
we see that the Admiral is most
deeply grieved over the criti
cismsof his tranfer act, and is
so disgusted that he would like
to return the . gift, retire and. go
-abroad and, so iar as himself-is
concerned, could wish there
had been no battle in Manila
Bay. His keenest disappoint
ment is that no one comes to
his defense, save in private tele-
nrams. -, ,:. ; - .
A Good House -Delightful Music.
The Louise Brehany Company
w i4 greeted by a, good audience
vednesday niglit that quickly
manifested its high; expectancy,
and its eagerness for the treat.
Every part of the performances
was greatly enjoyed, aud overy
performer was persistently en
cored. It seemed but the irony of fato
and the cruelty of mishap that a
violin string broke just as Miss
Schmoll wTas entrancing tho au
dience with that queen of instru
ments that, under her touch,.. was
a very soul of ecstatic sweetness.
It washer appearance on encore
and she had rendered i classic
piece that displayed great pro
ficiency, but was then rendering
"Down' on the Suwanee River, " i
to the exquisite pi aasure. of the
audience, when it came to an
abrupt end.
Miss Brehany is well termed
the star of the troupe, as she
would be of any troupe. Her
vocal culture seems perfect and
all her performances 'are winning
in the highest degree. As a lady
of decided miisical accomplish
ments riear the wrUer said, 4 'She
is simply out of sight."
The play was pretty, ; and the
costumes were rich and bril-
liant. .. The. : troupe was handi
capped, ho wever v in not being-
able to use . all , of ; its beautiful
stage scenery, for lack of height
of tho ceiling. . .
An entertainment of tho high
est order is '.guaranteed when
the Louise Brehany Company
comes.r ':. '.. " V?-: " " r
The manager of the Brehanev
Company, Mr. A B Thearle,, of
Chicago, was present. It. "was
the. first time he had seen his
company render "Faust." He
will hardly lack' another ,, violin
hereafter. .The graded school
management made the amoun;
they so much desired "to meet the
expenses on music books and but
for the rain' and other 1 unavoida
ble circu instances, would have
realized a neat' little amount.
They are quite raWul - ta ; the
public for liberal patronage, . :

i ue ioacco question jJiscussea, X if you are not a subscriber to T
We see a caption in an exchange,
4:po dogs talk?" Why, certainly
they do. The more -congenial
cues bark, but too ma,hy talk
r:-;ht out. They get into debt
to you without intending to pay
you, and when you want
your money, so as to keep on
feeding them by which to 1 make
respectable beinsrs out of them.
they go ,tb tallring i and saying
all kinds of unkind things about
you. They talk of their up
rightness and their ideals of
moral rectitude and of your in
consistency, and tell you" that
they think .you are a blasted
moral prodigy and an intellectual
monstrosity. Their gibberish
has . enough of the growL. bv
which you can readily." detect the
breed. The class is not so very
large and is not to be confounded
with honest people, against
whom fortune has. frowned, and
on wnom adversity seems : to
liave set his seal, but who if
properly treated with patience
and sympathetic aid and bracinsr.
will most likely pull througHnd
yet wear the crown of manliness
and independence through a
sense ol owing no man anything
but love to one another.
