Paring the first year of my travels as au actor I joined a troupe that was presenting Shakespearean tragedy. We sentlng Shakespearean tragedy. . We were playing in one of the provincial cities of England vrben a new actor, an Inexperienced amateur, joined the corn pan J- and, was assigned the role of C'atesljy In which to make his debut in the play of "Richard the Third." Dur ing the progress of the piece one of his new lines is after a quick entrance ad dressed to King Richard, and he says: "My lord, the Duke of Buckingham Is taken!'' I can remember that on the night of his first appearance he was frightfully nervous and was anxious to proclaim the fact that the Duke of Buckingham was taken, as he had been practicing and studying it for several weeks. The result was that he got the wrong cue and made his entrance' before time, crying out: "My lord, the Dnke of Buckingham Is taken !" Richard turned to him and in an un dertone said: "Get off! Get off! You're too soon." - The actor left the stage mortified and more "rattled" than ever, so that scarcely was he In the wings before he again made the same mistake and again proclaimed' that the Duke of Buckingham was taken. 'Richard turn ed upon him for the second time and toldhlm to leave the stage. He also whispered, '".Somebody take care of that idiot and tell him when to make Ills entrance." The prompter grabbed the actor by the hand and when the proper time came said: "Now is your time. Tell Richard he's taken." The actor rushed upon the stage, hes itated, looked at Richard and then in a wild tone of voice exclaimed: "We have him. by heaven, and wo have him sure!" I believe the curtain went down, and, if I remember rightly, the curtain was not the only thing that went down J. II. Stoddard lu Saturday Evening Post THE LOST CHILD. A Dramatic Inctdent at aa Ocean Grove Experience Meeting;. It had been an experience meeting. Ten thousand people were assembled in the great auditorium by the sea. . There had been the handshake, the waving of handkerchiefs, the hymn,, the prayer, the word which told the spiritual history of many a soul. The bishop stood upon the platform In the act of pronouncing the benedic tion. Emotion was at Its -height. It seemed as if a spiritual wave had swept over the multitude, WTapping'lt In a divine caress. r At that moment a little child was passed up to the "platform, and the bishop took It in; his arms. "Lost child," were the whispered words. The baby put its dimpled arms about the bishop's neck and laid Its head upon his shoulder, Its yellow curls mingling with bis gray hair. "Lost child," said the bishop in bis deep, sympathetic voice. "Does any one in the audience know this baby or to whom it belongs? Will the father or mother come and claim It?" There was silence, and the baby nes tled closer, and the women who sat near said, "Ohr Then a man was seen making his ,way to the alter, it was the baby's fa ther. Instantly the child stretched ont its arms to go to him. Then as be gaye it up the bishop said: . -. "There are 10,000 lost souls In Ocean Grove. The Father's arms are waiting to receive them.

A BRITISH STEAMER SEIZED. Vessel PHlax ed by Populace at Puerto Ca beilo and Afterwards Released Csi. tro Takes a New Attitude Pa ' frlotlc DeaoBstratloDf BV Cable to toe Momma tar Caracas, Dec. 13. A. new compli cation has arisen. It is feared that Italy will deliver a memorandum ask ing for the same treatment as de manded by Great Britain and Ger many. Up to the present moment it is impossible to obtain definite infor mation on the matter, but the Italian legation denies the delivery of any sltimatum. i The news of the arrival of the Brit ish commodore, Montgomery, .at La Guaira has created excitement at Car acas, but np to 5 o'clock to-night the authorities here have no knowledge of his design. In government circles it is believed that a notification of the blockade of the Venezuelan coasts will be transmitted. j It is learned from a government source that on the advice of Minister Bowen a calm and cool attitude for twenty-four hours more has been ad vecated and that if the Anglo-German forces are disembarked at. LaGuaira the troops at the fort and in the new ly erected redoubts will not fire on them, the object being to obtain time for Washington to answer as to the proposal for arbitration made to Ber lin and London. President Oastro has taken up a new attitude. Strong in Venezuela's right, he has ordered that i reprisals are to cease, and yesterday he gave instruc tions that all the property of the Brit ish and German railroads and British telephone companies j should be re turned. The government will still re tain the control of the LaGuaira rail road, but its administration will be left independent. Patriotic demonstrations took place again yesterday and to-day. The Venezuelans have decided also to boy cott all goods manufactured in Ger many and Great Britain and in all the stores notices are posted declaring that henceforth the owners will refuse to sell goods coming from those coun tries. British Steamer Pillaged. ' LaGuaira, Dec 13. The British steamer Topazes from Cardiff, was seized by the rabble at Puerto Cabello Wed nesday and pillaged. The captain and crew were held as prisoners,-but were released to-day and the steamer will sail at noon to-morrow for Oienfuegos.

The steamer Prinze IV. entered the port at 2 o'clock this afternoon and discharged She is now about to sail again. Other ships which arrived off the port this morning will pro ceed without.communicating. A com mission composed of leading mer chants of Caracas has arrived here and has been on board the British cruiser Chary bd Is and the German cruiser Vineta. On the departure of the commission, the Vineta sailed for an unknown destination. The fortress here hss been evacuated and all the soldiers have left the town. The militia has ben called to mainiain order. All the drinking saloons and booths have been closed by order of the President j The United States gunboat Marietta arrived to-day from Curacao and has anchored outside the harbor. Caracas, Dec. 13. It is now stated that Italy has handed to the Venezue lan government similar demands to those made by Germany and Great Britain for the payment of her claims. Popular demonstrations continue here and the government is protect ing the German legation in which Madam Von-Pilgrim-Baltazzi is lying ill. It is impossible to remove her to the United States legation. Three thousand two hundred Ven ezuelan troops are in the neighbor hood of LaGuaira. Opialoo lo Washlaftoo Washington, Dec. 1 13. President Koosevelt and Secretary Hay had an early conference to-day concerning the Venezuelan situation. Both the President and the Secretary of State are of opinion that, unless there should be unexpected developments in the situation, the United States will not become seriously- involved in the pending controversy. Over night dis patches received by the State Depart ment were presented to the President, but were not made public at the execu tive offices. i - London, Dec. 13. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon, according to official statements, nothing bad been received at the Foreign Office anent the Venezuelan government asking Min ister Bowen to act as arbitrator in the controversy between that country and Great Britain and Germany.

Retarded by the .Christian Scientists as a Vindication. - i - - By Telegraph to the Momma star. Atlanta, Ga., Dec! 13. The Su preme Court of Georgia to-day banded down a decision which is regarded by Christian Scientists as a vindication. A citizen of Dublin, Gs., a Christian Scientist, refused to give medicine to his sick child. The child died and the father was arrested and fined $300. The case was appealed to the State Supreme Court, which to-day reversed the judgment of the; lower court, holding that failure to give medical, attendance to children when ill is not a violation of the laws of the State.

(ECCENTRICITIES i OF NEW YORK'S MOST fslOTED SEXTON. For Many Years He Mlalatered to ; the Artntorracy . of the. City at ' Grace ' Church, and HI Name Adoraa a Tablet an Its Walla. , It used to be said that a stranger who jwas visiting New York' for-the first ftlme and asked Lis hotel clerk for ad vice as to what he should do on Sun? 'day morning would find his doubts 'quickly .reduced to the alternative, "Go Jover to Brooklyn and hear Beecher" or l"Go to Grace church and see Brown." No prelate of the Episcopal church was so widely kn9wn either in or beyond his New .York diocese as this valiant guardian of old Grace, whose Income, it was estimated, was greater than that of any mas in the cloth and whose power In society was even more feared than tiat of any bishop. He received his appointment as sex ton from; the-Rev. Dr. Thomas House Taylor, and, while Dr. Taylor has been long forgotten, Sexton. Brown Is still almost as much remembered in the great city as Jim Ipisk, A. T. Stewart or Charles Delmonlco. Brown would cultivate the acquaint ance of head waiters and cooks, secur ing the latest information as to -the social plans of their masters and mis tresses, and .whenever he learned that a party or a ball wds under considera tion he would offer his services to de liver the Invitations or Jookafter the comfort of the guests or superintend their arrival . and departure in their carriages.! Beginning in this humble jway, it was not long before he gained the good will of distinguished patrons, j His authoritative manner, too, was admirable for such occasions. Inueed the host himself could hardly Issue a command , to his menials with the suavely peremptory emphasis which Brown employed. Such was his de portment and such his trustworthy zeal that it was said that no one in Grace church could be properly feasted or buried or could even say his prayers without the assistance of Brown, and eventually It became something like a dictum in a large portion of society that nobody could be married In New York in truly first class style unle Brown's presence blessed the bridal party. f 'Nor did . any detail that might be wanting for the personal comfort of the congregation escape his vigilant 'eye. It was a habit of old Peter Stuy 'vesant, for example, to keep in his pew a thermometer. As soon as he had tak en his seat he would consult it. One fwinter morning when the temperature Was extremely low the f urnaces of the church got out of order, and Brown's assistants were able to force through them only enough heat to lessen the chill a little. It occurred to Brown that the condition of the atmosphere would not be conducive to either the piety or the comfort of the aged Stuyvesant. When the old gentleman arrived with in the porch of the church, he was shivering with the cold, but without attracting his attention Brown, who knew that the first thing he would do would be to step into bis pew and ex amine the thermometer, slipped In ahead, pressed one of bis fat fingers to he little glass bulb and chuckled as he saw the mercury ascend to 72. When Stuyvesant reached the pew, he con sulted the thermometer as usual, look ed around wonderingly, but evidently concluded that the church must be warm enough and that therefore it must be himself who was cold. Brown'a funeral was marked by much of the pomp and circumstance which be himself bad so often provided for the rich and the great. The wits said that.it was the first In forty years that had been a perfectly correct per formance without his Individual guid ance. He had died In the little town of Brandford one August night In 1880. There be bad been in the habit of tak ing his summer rest. He had been overcome by the heat while attending a wedding at Brandford. and that sum mer be complained, probably for the 'first time In bis life, of ill health One of his orders was that bis body should jbe placed in a casket of polished Span ish cedar. i A more ponderous casket had never een carried up the aisle of Grace church. It was rich with silver and fVelvet ft was so heavy its interior .being large enough for two ordinary Corpses that the eight Knights Tem plars who bore it into the church al most staggered with their burden. Upon It lay their cocked bats with wav ing ostrich plumes. Within the chancel stood four of the clergy, in the pews were the representatives of some of. the proudest families of the city, and a long line of men and women filed Into the church showing all the signs of sor row for an old friend and neighbor. On the left band side of Grace Church as one turns after entering the porch under tbejl'dl tower and near where Brown was wont for more than a gen eration to tnke his station every Sun day Is a shiniug brass tablet. It was there placed by members of the congre gation in token of him who Is described upon it as 'The Faithful Sexton" and whom they 'gladly recall for his fideli ty, bis generosity and bis stainless in tegrity." rt is next, to the bas-relief which commemorates the virtues of the illustrious Cadwallader D. Colden, once mayor of New York what greater posthumous glory would Brown have craved? and Is not less conspicuous than the old tablet on the opposite side which was erected to the memory of Henry Brevoort, whose family was de rived in ''unbroken descent from the colonists of New Netherlands."

British cruiser Chary bdis, flying Com modore Montgomery's flag, the Ger man cruiser j Vineta and the German training ship Slosch, arrived here to day and have taken positions com manding the town and fortresses. Several merchant men, the Dutch steamer Prins Willem IV., the British steamer of the Harrison Line and a royal mail steamer arrived off the port to-day, but were prevented from en tering the 'harbor by the captain of the British cruiser Indefatigable who laid he would not be responsible for what might happen if the vessels were allowed to enter. The steamers applied for lighters to enable them to dis charge their cargoes, but the request was refused by the customs house au thorities, who declared the vessels might enter . the ; port as usual, there being; no reason for their re maining outside.

One more step toward the complete severance of relations between Venezuela and the allies who are seeking to punish her was taken to-day4n the withdrawal of the Venezuelan conaul from Port of 8pain,VTrinidad, by orders of the gov ernment. Notice of the fact came to the State Department: from .United States Consul Smith at 'Port of Spain. It is presumed that Venezuela has sent out similar orders to all of her other consuls in Britishwnd German posses sions to withdraw from their posts. These withdrawals would not be par ticularly serious, ; but from the fact that they indicate a purpose on the part of President Castro to proceed to extremes in his quarrel with the allies. The State Department has not been advised of the rejection of President Castro's proposal to arbitrate the dispute I as transmitted through Minister Bowen. ! : ; Secretary Hay had a busy time to day conferring with senators and rep resentatives who already are begin ning to show anxiety as to the Vene zuelan situation, i No one was able to suggest how i the attitude of the State Department could be improved at this moment. Aivicea From Berlin. . i. Bzrlin, Dec. 13 President Castro's reply to the German ultimatum is a refusal to yield on any point Tha Foreign Office baa not yet re ceived the text of President Castro's reply, but only a bulletin from the German charge d'affaires, Herr Voa-Pilgrim-BalUzi', dated December 10th, announcing that the president's answ er bad been placed in his handa that day and that the Venezuelan executive refused to yield to the German de mand on all points. This telegram, with the text of the reply, was fiied at Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad. With this exception, the Foreign Office has received no word since yesterday to indicate that the situation has grown worse. A landing in force is not con sidered probable under any contingen cy. The orders to blockade the coast stand, and that is all the naval com manders for the present are authoriz ed to do. And proposition that Min ister Bowen might make in behalf of President Oastro would be received in good spirit and carefully considered, out of regard for the channel of trans mission; but no proposition toarbi trate has yet reached Berlin. Neither is the Foreign Office aware that the United States has made so far any sug gestion to arbitrate.; Herr Von-Pilgrim-Baltazzi is still on board a British vessel in the harbor of LaGuaira.

Half a century -or so ago diamond back terrapin were fed to slaves and hogs. Today they , are the rarest deli cacy, known to the cpicurian world, says the Philadelphia North American. Then they sold for $1 a barrel, and laborers, when hiring out, specified that they must not be compelled to eat terrapin more than twice a week. To day a barrel Is cheap at $800, and" mil-, llonalres travel hundreds of miles for a chance to feast on this most deli-" cions of all meats. Of course this means genuine dia mond backs. There are many Imita tions. . ' Every finst class restaurant In the country features "terrapin a la Mary land" on its menu, but in not one case out of a hundred is the real terrapin served. The diner regales himself on what he believes to be Maryland's choicest dish., Instead he is merely eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or "North Carolina goldens." The reason- is simple. Restaurateurs don't serve real diamond backs be cause they Can't get them. The world's total terrapin, population does not ex ceed 25,000 of legal size, and these are confined to the shores of the Chesa peake, bay, the only place that produces them. Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York enjoy a monopoly. These hree cities get practically the entire output, but few ever find their way across the Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate enough- to be born In Chicago or St. Louis must either come east or forego the Joys of terrapin. To select a real diamond back ama teurs should be guided by these distin guishing and characteristic markings: It Is of a greenish, dark olive color, sometimes running to spotted gray, yellow on the plate which surrounds the shell and has concentric dark stripes along th plate on both sheila. The sides of thenead are a dirty white, sprinkled with small black spots. The bottom shell Is of whitish yellow. The males are much larger than the females and have the concentric streaks much better defined The female has the more delicate flesh. The male can be distinguished by his toe nails, which are much longer than those of the fe male. IWINKLINUS, "Do you believe that egotism and genius go together?" 'Not al ways.
