tlieso things aio often said and rarely

.Androg was h blond, she was the owner
of air energetic and decided character.
All! niais.cni. When she said things
likethis, her blue eyes darted terrible
lightnings. -
. Doubtless -it was this strong tempera
ment that prevented her parents from
making any
objections and placing any
'obstacles, m
her way. There was no

She spoki the truth. Her mother was
an excellent eature,' and Anatole Plu-
chin was -well, his mother, her future
mother-inJ-law, was of the kind that are
-nowadays seldom to be found.
i Tho 'dajf iollowing at the-, appointed
liour' Andree was readyto attack Paris
and ransack it f rem enld to end in her
endeavors o find the nest that is, the
apartments of her dreams. Her valiant
mother was prepared to, accompany her.
The poor old i woman had burned her
throat with her coffee and had nearly
choked herself over the -sugar at the
bottom of tho pup, ! - V
"Forward march! 'En lavant!" cried
tho joyous; voice of Andn
Young land inexperienced, she little
knew what a terrible thing it is to hunt
for roomsW Paris' ; 1 16 climb .up dozens
and dozens of j steps and to undergo the
searching questioning of zealous con
cierges and indiscreet portieres.
After an hour and a half of this exer
cise tho unfortunate girl was exhausted.
And her I mother! .; She followed her
daughter puffing like a grampus and
dragging ; her legs after .her as if they
were logs Bf heavy timber t, " Ouf ! Out !

Then at length, "Mamma, look at

"And a sigh out'f-
i "Precisely. I 'Apartment to let In

"Let -us ask the' price. I have an idea
that it will be just the thing. "
The pr;ce was just what the girl had
judged reasonable for herself and Iber
ruture husband. ; :
'Let us go up stairs, " cried Andree,
. wno was delighted. We can see pvet
it, can wejnot?" she asked the concierge."

"These ladies desire to see the apart-

Tho girl made a remark in a low voice
matscaped the other's ears. It was ac
i coinpanied . by an expressive slirug : of

Andrco and her mother walked in,

and elegant and placed each piece in

"Whyj where are you, Andree?' Where
, can she havi gone to? Andree !" ,
''( A distant! and sorrowful cry came in

Andree. I Mon Dieul what's the
matter?!! cried her mother, alarmed.
Thisii what had ViArmanAd AnrireA. I
guisitiye little girl that she was, had
turned down a passage and suddenly
opened a door. She was carious to Bee
what the room was like. ' i .
, The door, it so happened, was that of
a private boudoir. Inside, as she stood,
pretty as 'a fairy, in the doorway, she
saw a velvet sofa. On the sofa she saw,
half reclining, a very pretty young
widow with black eyes" and a demurely
sweet face. Kneeling on the soft Turk
ish rug beside her, with his hand upon
his heart and an expression of eternal
love upon his face, was a young man. I
landree heard up words, but the noise
of opening the door caused tho young
man to spring to his feet and face her.
"AhltMonDieu! Andree!"
It was indeed Anatole.
Andree possessed a resolute charaoter,
as wo know.- She neversaw Anatole
again, and tho amount the courts grant-

riage is not exactly known, 'i ; r
In this way a mother-in-law who was
anxious to do all she could for her son-in-law
only succeeded in bringing about
results that were a hundred times worse
than the most bitter hostilities.

Ilablnstein Not a Happy Man. :
Though his life was full of work and
he was ever faithful to duty, Rubinstein
was not a happy man. " With each suc
ceeding year he grew more and more
pessimistic. Life failed to give hind' the
amount, of enjoyment he craved outside
his art, and except in the society of
women he did not seem even commonly
happy. But for, tho fair sex he had fever
a joke and a smile. It amused him to
shock their feelings, and when they
opened their eyes widely at his audacity
he never failed to enjoy it! He believed
that a knowledge of woman was neces
sary to an artist, and if a young aspirant
to any artistic calling asked his advice
his first question was, "Have you loved
yet?" ; For he believed that a man who
could not love was incapable of becom
ing an artist. He himself could not be
accused of any failing in this case, for
his loves were almost as many and va
rious as his days. He had all the faults
and all tho virtues of his artistic call
ing, and in every sense of the word lived
for his art and his fancy regardless of
all things. His was a true bohemian
nature. . '-.-.'
There was a eertain roughness, want
of tact and even brutality in his nature
that made itself - disagreeably felt at
times. His was not a temper to be tried.
.Up to a certain point hecould hold it
in check admirably, but "anything be
yond this caused! an explosion of wrath
that was terriblft As in his physiogno
my, so in his temper there was much of
the lion. Those who' did not know him
consequently feared hinf, for his person
ality was one .that awed, especially in
the latter years of his life. Alexander

Soon after Rowland Hill became sec
retary of tho British postoffice he sum
moned together some of his subordinates
the surveyors, as they are officially
called to consider a paper of instruc
tions on Borne important matter which
he was about sending out. He read it to
them to make sure that it.covered.the
ground. One of them was Anthony Trol-
lope, afterward famous as a novelist '
When the reading "was finished, Trol-
lope, naturally' desirous, as a young
man, to show that he had a head upon
' his shoulders, challenged not the scope
and tenor of -the instructions, but tho
literary composition. That,, however,
was not wnat tne secretary desired to
hear. '
"I think, Mr. Hill, " Trollope is re
ported to have said, "that the language
of paragraph so and so, . literally con
strued, may be held to mean what you
do not intend. " - " .- ;

loved correction of that sort, and he an
swered with great slowness and deliber

THE OLDEST OBELISK..
Stands on the Banks of the Nile Not
Far From Cairo.
. The oldest of all the obelisks is the
beautiful one' cf . rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields on
the banks of the Nile not far from
Cairo. It is the gravestone of a great
city which "has vanished and left only
this relic behind. That city was Beth-;
shernes of Scripture, the rfamous On,
which is memorable to. all Bible readers
as the residence of the priest of On,
Potipherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called it
Heliopolis, he city of the Bun, because
there the .worship of the sun had its
chief center and itsftnost sacred shrine.
It was the seat of the most ancient uni
versity in the world, to which youthful
students came from all parts of the
world to learn the occult wisdom which
the priests of On alone could teach.
Thales, 'Solon, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
. and P.lato all studied there; perhaps
McsesJfeeo. It was also the. birthplace of
the sacred literature . of Egypt, where
were written on papyrus leaves the orig
inal chapter of the oldest book in the
world, generally known as "The Eook
;of the Dead," giving a most striking
account of the conflicts and triumphs of
the life after death, a whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wisnea to nave buried witn
him in his coffin, and portions of which
are found inscribed on -every mummy
case and on the walls of every tomb. In
front of one of the principal temples of
the sun in this magnificent city stood,
along with a companion long since de
stroyed, the solitary obelisk which we
now behold on the spot It alone has
survived the wreck of all the glory of
the place. It was constructed by User -
tesen I, who is supposed to have reigned
2800 B. C, and has outlived all the dy
nastic changes of the land and still
stands where it originally stood nearly
47 centuries ago. What, appears of its
shaft above ground is 68 feet in height,
but its base is buried in the mud of the
.Nile, and year after year the inundation
of the river deposits its film of soil
around its foot and buries it still deeper
in its sacred grave. Pall Mall Gazette.

The souhrette came clinging to the
arm of the villain. She was -glorious in
a yellow silk waist and he was glorious
in a high hat and patent leather shoes.
Thus armed they felt quite sure of !oon-
quering the World, which means that
they expected to "star" together some
day- -' I.
Nine out of ten persons in every audi
ence which consists entirely of players
have like expectations, and risht here
lies the structural weakness of the act-,
bra' matinee. Your future star begins
criticising, the performance as soon as
the curtain is lifted for the first act In
every movement pi the star, m every
word spoken by the star, he sees !how
much better ! he could have dona the
part if he had had the chance. As it is
not half satisf yiner to have lialf of the
house whispering ' when one is in the
midst of his" loftiest flight in the third
act, the star's-first actors matinee is
usually his last " : j-
. ."There are three reasons for giving a
professional matinee, " said an old man
ager. "First, for the self gratification
of the actor.! who wants his colleagues
to know what fine work he is doing;
second, out of courtesy to the profession,
and third, tq get a little advertising.
The second is the most common. iThe
manager of every production which has
a long run gets many requests fromj act
ors who say they want very much to see
it, but can't, because they're engaged. :
' "The first thing a manager does when
he determines upon a professional mati
nee is to ask the different managers of
attractions playing in town how many
seats they can use. Usually every per
son in every company wants two or -three
seats. Their extra seats are gener
ally occupied by some stanch admirer
of theirs who will believe that every
criticism they utter upon the perform
ance is true, j This person is called 'the
sympathetic ear. j :. .
"Ticket sellers complain about fin
icky people,! who always insist ) upon
such and such a seat But an actor,
when the seats are given to him will
come and raise a terrible- hullabaloo un
less they are in a certain, exact spot in
the house, t I've even known' a manager
to send back a dozen seats because he
couldn't get them six instead of twelve
rows back. There's a line of would be
actors waiting outside your'' door all day
long, who want anywhere' from dne' to
twenty seats' apiece, and you don't get
a moment's peace until the thing's over.
You don't get much peace' even then. '
After all of their trouble to get seats
to please them, many of the actors who
have engaged seats : do not come. If
they are merely enemies of the1 actor
who gives the matinee they present the
tickets to'. . a hoarding house, keeper ; if
they hold an actual grudge, they: give
them to a bootblack. Consequently the
well dressed leading man doesn't always
find the persons at his elbows exactly
the sort of company he would choose.-
The most Important figure at the pro
fessional matinee is by all odds the mid
dle aged lady who is a relative of a
6oubrette. The more distant the relation
the more important she.-is. If she is an
eighth cousin she expects the great doors
to swing open when she is within a
block of the theater, and eight ushers
come out to meet her. She is fat and
comfortable looking, 'and she always
has a temper. , I
The old time actor, who, has barn.
stormed it, m the legitimate as long as
he could, comes to see how low the
stage has fallen. Maybe one of these fat
and comfortable boarding house keepers
is his sympathetic ear. He tells her that
things were : far different when he and
Booth were starring it : these young
actors don't know much, and the stage
has gone to the bowwows. !
Between the acts the corridors swarms
Acquaintances meet, and then they be
gin to talk in this way :
"How did it happen?"
"Don't ask me, dear boy. Bullhead
hack!" .,'r !.!: . !
'And, do you know, he really thinks
he can act" i. ' "
" Yes. I suppose that he thought he
was going to astonish the natives. Gad!
Did you notice that entrance?" j :
'Horrible. Conception is all wrong.
Now, if I
"And if I"
But they break right there each be
ing immediately- convinced that the
other does not know anything about it
But there are exceptions. They are
usually the most j prominent actors.
Sometimes ! the hand of . the star is
grasped ' warmly between the acts, and
he feels the thrill of triumph with the
words : "It's immense, old man.- You
are a revelation. " j! f " I f
The reporter had on his right side the
soubrette and the villain, and on his
left a very nice old lady with white
curls, who had come with her son. The
young man was very critical He picked
out flaw after flaw, and regaled his
mother with them. The old lady was
an actress herself a very good factress,
apparently. And finally she said to this
boy in a gentle aside: '
"Willie, you may think that you can
play the part better,, but we . do not see '
ourselves as others see u&. And don't
you think, Willie, that it would be bet
ter to say that your .opinion of the part
differs from that of the gentleman?
And, Willie, doyou think if exactly
right to talk about your best while he
is talking? Now, I anvsure, Willie, he
can do the part a great deal better tht
you could. , Not but that I am proud of

the knowledge, that so many forms of,

SENATE.
Washington May 13. The River
and Harbor bill was passed in the Sen
ate to-day, leaving only three of the
annual appropriation bills- to be acted
apon. These are the District of Colum
bia' bill, the Fortification bill and the
Deficiency bill; but before any of them
is taken up the Delaware Senatorial
election case will have to be disposed of,
and to that case to-morrow and Friday
have been assigned.
The amendment-which had been
offered to, the River and Harbor bill
yesterday by Mr. Gorman of Maryland,
Democrat, limiting expenditures uader
the bill to ten millions a year, was . to
day, after a long discussion, laid on the
table by a vote of forty to twenty-three.
An amendment in the same sense,
limiting the expenditures under the
contracts to 20 per cent., was offered by
Mr. Bate of Tennessee, Democrat, and
met the like fate, with a vote of 87 to 18,
and then, after a somewhat bitter en
counter ol words between Mr. Allen of
Nebraska. Republican, and the chair
man of the Committee on Commerce,
Mr. Frye of Maine, Republican, the
closing speech in advocacy of the bill
and in. response to criticisms of it was
made by Mr. Frye, who stated some
facts In illustration of the immense
growth of the ' railroad and river and
lake' commerce ot the United States.
The railroad freights, he said, had been
cut down within the lest twenty years
from cents a ton a mile to about'
three-quarters of a cent a ton a mile,
and vet the people . wanted Cheaper
freights. This requirement could only
be met by improving water facilities,
and for that reason the intelligent people
of -the UnitedStates were everywhere
asking lotriver and harbor improve
ments j
The vote on the passage of the bill
?as: Yeas, ot; nays. v.
On motion of Mr. Frye, the Senate in
sisted upon its amendments and the fol
lowing conferees were appointed:
Messrs. Frye, Quay and Vest,
The bill, as passed the House, appro
priated 110.594,718, and authorized con
tracts for thirty-two projects, involving
an aggregate liability of $51,721,210. As
it was reported to the Senate, the
amount appropriated was $12,614,550.
That sum was increased by various
items put on in the Senate, including
the prpvision for the deep sea harbor in
Southern California. !
The Republican Senate steering com
mittee held a meeting this afternoon to
consider the order of business, but was
unable to come to any conclusion and
adjourned to meet .again Saturday
morning. : At that time, if a conclusion
is reached, a caucus of the Republican's
ot the Senate will be called to meet
Monday morning. I
The several 'matters for which atten
tion is being urged by Senators were
taken np and discussed, ' - There ap
peared to be a feeling that it would be
unwise to permit the calling up of the
bills for the establishment of a uniform
system of bankruptcy, for the refunding
of the debt of the Pacific railroads, and
like measures which will precipitate a
prolonged debate. The immigration
bill now on the calendar appears to meet
with eeneral commendation and the
committee believe that it could becalled
up with reasonable probability of its
passage, ihis win proDaoiy oe proviaca
The bill to repeal the tree alcohol In
the arts clause of the present Tariff bill
was also discussed for some time, but no
conclusion was reached. There is a
marked division of sentiment in the
Republican ranks- on this question, but
the indications are that tne committee
will report to the caucus in favor bf
giving this measure a day at court.
Whether" it can be patsed is a question
the committee does not presume to
answer. It is understood that the House
will pass the bill for repeal as an inde-
pendent mcaiare, and if this is done the
concurrence of the Senate will be
urged.- All of these matters were' per
mitted to stand open, however, and an
effort will - be made to dispose cf them
definitely utxt Saturday.
- The Senate at ft p. m. adjourned until

" Washington, May 1.3L The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations this
morning discussed Senator Morgan's
pint resolution recognizing the belliger
ency of the Cuban insurgents, but no ac
tion was taken and the statements of the
members were not disclosed by the dis
cussion. The meeting was not largely
attended, so the subject was postponed
until next Wednesday. ! Nothing was
said in the committee about asking the
presence before it of the Diaz brothers,
who were expelled from Cuba on a
charge of aiding the insurrectionists; A
movement is on loot to have these gen
tlemen appear before the committee and
relate the condition of affairs on the
island as they know them, but no' steps

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Raleigh N. C, May 13. The
Fourth District Republican Congres
sional-Convention met here this after
noon. It3 session was nmked by bit
terness and disorder. N E English, of.
Randolph count?, was nominated for
Coceteis. This action of the conven
tion is reearded as a ceuance of the
Populists. Tee present Congressman is
Stroua, who is a rotu ist, elected on
the Fusion itickct, and English is a Re
publican. The convention to-day re
fused to endorse fusion and no McKln-
lev endorsement resolutions were intro
duced. E A. Johnson and W. H Mar
tin we're elected delegates to St. Louis.
some delegates gave notice -they .would
not vote for the nominee.
VVARM Wl RELETS.
i The British colony in Demerara has
sent a orotest to the British Govern
ment against delay! in the settlement of
the. boundary question tetween ureat
Britain and Venezuela. An early settle
ment of -the dispute is urged, without
sacrifice of territorial rights.
The Supreme Court ol Illinois ren
dered a decision sustaining the action
of a druggist who refused to sell soda
water tp a negro on account cf his color.
The Court holds that the selling of soda
.water does not constitute the furnish
ing of lodging, amusement or meals, as
provided for in the act. j
Drive out the impurities from your
blood with Hood s aarsaparilla and
thus avoid that tired, languid feeling
and even serious illness. ; t
