How to JtpHtl a Tlipatrr,
Xiio report that iiarreit will build a he?
ILeatro in Zew York has more ground than
most runjors of this nature have. Darrett
was a year planning his tour with Booth.
Before ho obtained Booth's consent, certain
friends of Barrett's in New York who have
the- utmost confidence- in his judgment, de
sired to placo him ut tho head ot a theatre.
They asked iilm how much money he would
require, intimating that a million was at his
service. "A million will not be enough,"
said the tragedian. "Would a million and a
half do? Wo will raise that for j'ou."
VNoi" said tho actor. "It would require
possibly three times that amount."
Whereupon one aaked him if he wanted the
earth.
"Xo, gentlenien," Barrett replied coolly,
"I want such a square" mentioning the
locality.
"You could not buy it for less than seveu
millions." the friend replied.
"I know it. But if you will give me that
piece of property, I will guarantee to put up
a theatre in the heart of it, give you the out
side (front), and yoa will get your money
Lack iu ints of the portion of the ground I
will leave you. The course pursued in this
city of building theatres fronting on streets
suicidal, uncommercial, illogical."
The friends admired the force of this re
mark at once, and endeavored to purchase
the block referred to, but a large property
owner stood in the way, so the deal was olf,
and Barrett then perfected his arrangements
with Booth. Tho result of this is so well
known that it is uii'ieeess.iry to refer to it.
The facts are only recited now because they
may givo our readers an idea of the methods
Barrett will pursue in case his friends pro
vide the amount he deems necessary tor the
construction of a new theatre iu New York,
find intrust him with the sole direction.

Through countless suffering ages yet to cease!
To end in consummation of the ripo

Good at the last! Great good without alloy!

E'en now gives birth to dawn, and hope of per

FINDING LOST BABIES.
HOW TODDLERS ARE PICKED UP
IN THE CITY STKEETS.
Not narl to rind the Strayed Darlings of
New York Matron Webb and tho Lost
Cliiltlrvii'a Department Tho 1'ato of
lour I tables.
The littlo shavers and bhaverines that the
pojieemen carry every night to Matron
Webb, at the lost children's department, are
a thoroughly assorted lot Some aro about
tho size that a westerner designates as being
"as big as a pint of cider half drunk up;"
others are often 8 or 10 3'ears of age, and got
lost because t hey have just come to tho city
or have lived in some institution all their
lives. The strays nro invariably dirty, and
usually more or less unbuttoned and unlaced.
Also, tho more certain their puients aro that
their darlings will bo scared almost to death,
tho more sure the youngsters aro to ecme in
vt ith a list full of pennies, no hat, and a soul
full of peace.
Last Sunday night u manly, hundsomo offi
cer got ou a Broadway car at Twenty-ninth
street with a littlo girl, who clung to him
like a thistle blow, blinking and quivering
with sobs. Tho ear was well filled with
church folks, who began immediately to ielt
the oflicer with questions, which he answered
calmly and patiently, hugging tho littlo one
up to his hide tho while.
At Matron Webb's Miss Baby found a
wurm welcome. Three rows of bluo arm
chairs and rockers constitute the strrmge
little human "sound," wln;i tue stray babies
wait fot. some one to come and prove their
proerty. With tear stained face washed and
her roll replaced by somo diplomatically su
gared cake, tho little one consented to trust
herself, Uvl precious penuies and her daisies
to tho arms of a much gilded and flowered
blue rocking e!iair. They weren't nice,
warm, strong arms same as tho policeman
had, but they had their good points. As soon
as slio was settled a bit Matron Webb smiled
on her ono of those motherly smiles that have
warmed tho cockles of so many little hearts
ami asked her name.
The gray :-j es looked at her very steadily
for a minute, then' the lower part of tho in
terrogation pVjiut quivered a little and she
answered: "Fanny 1"
Tho voice was about us fino as a cambric
needle and as largo as a minute old robin's
chirp, but tho matron heard it, and asked her
"other name." Tho ghost of u baby smile
straightened out the interrogation point, and
tho sweet thread of a voice was a full size
larger us it answered:
This was afl tttc information that could be
gained, for indeed it was probably all tho
mere baby knew, blio sat obediently ii; her
chair dqrjng 1-PV iy. At l'r, after
an hour's waiting, tho door opened sharply
and a nice looking young fellow of 19 or 20
came tumbling iu, white and excited. Up
flew the little fat arms, nway went the pen
nies and tho posies, "Oh, Duckem!"' cried a
manly voice, and Duckem was close in her
Lig brother's anus. Sho wis so glad that her
shyness nil went utay atonccaud'suG gVa-
ciously let everybody who 'wanted to. kiss her
good-by. Little Fanny D.aly, of West
Twenty-ninth street, was thu.8 lost and found.
But this lieu.-littlo girl was not tho only
Suest that the matron was entertaining last
Sunday night. It was not very much of a
du3 for lost babies, for there had not been so
much as a procession or a hand organ out tc
tempt them away, but, all the smne, iievoiv
teen small pilguiiis in pinafores and 'jackets
drifted -hi -arid 'out,' before' ' and after
"Duckem.'!' came and Went. Nest o
"Duckem," tie baby of his. group of yoqiig-
srers, was a burly, splendid boy about
years and a half old. -
. . .- -f JM lUO sort of boy to
suit tho name he gave, "Phil." Phil gave
the wiry 3'oung "cop," as ho called him, who
brought him in a lively tustle; but no ono
who could seo t he poor little beggar flat on
his facobeforo thctloo." begging and scream
ing to bo taken to his "moth ther," could
blamo him for tho rumpus he was making.
No cakes, nor candies, nor fine words could
butter poor littlo Tnil's parsnips that night,
and he sobbed and cried as if his manly little
heart would break until his mother appeared.
Sho came in a half hour later, a thin, tidy
looking woman, with a flushed face and a
shawl hastily wrapped around her, almost
beside herself with fear.
"Oh, Phil, my darlin', whj' did ye run
away from your mother? Oh, sure, me boy,
it's the dreadful terror you've given me this
day, thinking I'd never bo seeiug you again,
and I the mother of eight children that never
had one of them run away from tho steps on
which I put 'em before! Where was it j-e
were, spalpeens"
Phil left home on East Seventy-fourth
street at 10 o'clock in the morning, and at 5
o'clock was picked up at the foot of Park
place! Seven good miles if it was an inch,
and "Phil not three years old till September
comes." Small wonder his mammy picked
him up in her willing arms and carried him
off folded close to her mother's heart.
The little wanderer was scarce on his way
home when a good looking man burst into
the room. He sprang toward the triple row
of chairs without speaking and then with a
groan turned away. As he turned his eye
fell on a tattered sailor hat, with a long
blue ribbon ou it, lying ou the table.
"That's his hat," ho cried. "Where's
Jack?" Matron Webb pointed to tho white
lied in tho corner. Master Jack had sat in his
chair as long as he could and then had calmly
gotten up, laid his hat on tho table and gone
to bed "till daddy comes." Ia a moment
thero was the greatest hullabaloo in the cor
ner that one could imagine. The sight of his
daddy, put all Jack's philosophy out of his
mind and he cried like a good one. His
father blinked a few times over the boy's
shoulder and held him very tight, but not a
word did ho say until ho got his boy out in
the ball. Then he broke into a sob,
"Oh, my little son, I thought you'd gone
for good," and then they both went on! to
"mamma."
These three youngsters and one other got
all the kisses there were given. Not one of
the eighteen were scolded, but fourteen of
them wero greeted ia a manner that spoke
more or less of a shattered confidence.
Tho young mothers and fathers are the
ones who take it hard, particularly if they
are strangers and foreigners. For instance,
the fourth baby last Sunday night who got a
kissing was a little dark haired, dark eyed
girl in a white frock, with small blue
enameljed.es it lugs in. her e?s. Ujzr.

a shawl over her head and her big eyes
swimming with tears. Sho had a young lad
with her as interpreter, but sho was too
much excited to wuit for him, and she flew
from ono chair to tho other, wringing her
hands and chattering like a magpie. Mrs.
Webb happened to remember tho littlo one
on tho bed with tho earring.? in her ears, and
inquiringly touched her own ears ns a ques
tion. The littlo mother flew to tho corner,
and in a moment was staggering about with
her big girl in tho arms that ought still to bo
tending dolls. Sho kissed and cried over her
baby for live minutes before sho could make
uu her mind to leave off and go home.

KEEPING UP PRICES.
A Trick of the Fish Traiic In New York
City The Kesult.
"See those forty barrels standing over
there," said the Bookman street merchant,
jiointing into the rear of his storehouse.
"Well, they aro all full of fish just slightly
tainted. You can have the entire lot free
gratis by just calling a wagon over and cart
ing them out of my place."
Just then a sudden thought seemed to finsh
through tho mind i f ta- uXi fed oiuiciun.
You're a crowd of frauds," ho cried an
grily. "Here you keep up the prices of lish
and let it rot and go bud in your cellars
rather than put in ou the market at prices
which poor people can afford to give. It's
just good for you people this littlo hot
weather cleans out. Hang me if I wouldn't
like to see you dealers put into the wngona,
too, and carted off to tho dumping dick.
You deserve it. Here a ml, like thousands
of other pcoplo in New York, anxious for a
daily fish meal, and yet if I go out to pur
chase I am asked forty and tifty cents a
pound for inferior stock. Then I comedown
hero and find hundreds of tons being carted
off to the offal dock. That's a pretty mean
way to run a business, I tell you."
And tho well fed gentleman mopped his
brow and walked oft! in great indignation.
"Do j'ou know," said tho Beekmau street
dealor, "that party's remarks wero quite to
thojioint? Still, it is th retail and not tho
wboleuuo men w'hoaie to blame in this case."
' "Aro t'ueso prices due to tho scarcity in
supplies?"
"Not at all. Scores of craft place their
cargoes in ?ew York weekly. During three
quarters of tho year tho wholesale markets
are almost glutlcd with supplies. Yet, as I
say, the mechanic or laborer finds that to
purchase a lish dinner at a respectable retail
market will cost him almost a day's earn
ings. Even tho suspicious and ill smelling
stock peddled iu wagons is sold at higher
price per pound tLau the- choicest beefsteak
vt mutton .chop." '
''.'What is the trouble duo tor'
"Here is the evil in a listened, llotail
dealers eaj:l t-onuoi a certain amount of
trade. They expect to sell so many pounds
per week aud no more. Each has his steady
patrons, who buy in small quantities as a
rule, and never make any inquiry about the
price, which is kept at the same level all tho
year round. Thero is absolutely no compe
tition in the line. Cod may bo selling
wholesalo at tve cents, f.i oiw cent, but
'.Lb etani turd-ortoer ior the consumer is twelve
cents. What is the result? While tons and
tons of fish may be rotting in tho wholesale
markets for want of a purchaser at one or
two cents per pound tho poor people of New
York cannot buy ono meal of sea food for the
simple reason that tho retail dealers limit its
salo by the big rates at which they dispose of
it. While the consumption of tL.h would un
doubtedly bo oiornGus 12 the retail prices
wc-i'o regulated bv tho wholesale, tho situa
tion" at: present is very different. Poor peo- j
plo never visit tho fish marked, or they know
what tq expftoj,,"
chisclaim-i - hft eondition oMhe
. ush market tothvy. Whatever the sup
ply may le, tho retail prices never vary,
which is contrary to the rules 6f a legitimate
and honest commerce. .According to the
wholesalers, tho aim ot tho small dealer
seems to be to limit tho demand aud satisfy
himself with small sales and big profits.
Wherever tho fault may lio tho fact remains
that thero is about ns much fish wasted in
Now York as sold because there is no d
mand in comparison with the supply. New

The Soprano's New Blue Dress.
In a certain promiuent church choir not
far from Boston tho soprano was a woman of
dashing and stylish appearance, whose toilets
were almost as much a matter of considera
tion with her as her voice, and with whom
the preparation of a new dress sometimes
caused tbo preparation of an aria to suffer
sadly. Tho contralto, on the contrary, was
a jxrson who gave not inuch thought to her
dress, but who hud, of course, to be tufliciently
scrupulous about it to keep up a fair ap
pearance in the conspicuous place, within
the chancel, where tho choir was stationed.
She finally made up her mind to get a new
silk gown, and chose lavender for the color.
Sho confided her plans to the soprano, as a
connoisseur, aud the sopreno gavo her much
advice about the dress in a patronizing
way. The getting up of the contralto's
new lavender gown was a rather slow
matter, and the soprano kept herself
posted as to its progress. When would
it be ready to wears The contralto said it
couldn't be ready before two weeks from the
next Sunday. And it wasn't, but tho very
next Sunday the soprano came out in a new
and beautiful blue silk, which sho announced
her intention to wear right along, and which
the contralto saw, to her consternation, would
utterly destroy her lavender and make it im
possiblo to wear it. So, with some natural
tears, tho contralto put away her new gown
until such a time as the soprano should tire
of wearing her blue; and tho next Sunday
tho soprano, coming in blue again, and see
ing the contralto still in sober black, asked
with sweet, ingenuous surprise:
"Why, where is your new gownf
"I decided not to wear it," said the con
tralto, sadly, with a glance at the blue silk.
Weeks after that tho ladies in the congre
gation were exclaiming: ''What a long time
Mrs. Seesharp is wearing that blue! I never
knew her to wear ono dress so long before."

from New York tliis fall. It is to. bo
called the "Atlantic," and will bu 200
feet high, with ;i cubi liieasuremcnt of
nearly 100,000 feet. It will weigh -4,500
pounds, and will carry the saino weight
of passengers and freight. M. Jovis
thinks he can make seventy miles an
hour in it, and expects to laud in Nor
way or Sweden; or olso in Irdand. in
three and hali days after starting. The
cost of the 'enteipriso is fixed fit tibout
$-10,000.
A Million on :i Life.
The greatest achievement in the his
tory of life insurance has boon made by
Mr. John "Wanauuiker, who is now pac
ing premiums on 1,000,000 la twenty
nine difi'erciit companies. Tho last
policy issued on his life was received b
him tho other day, and solar as is knowi,
there is no other man in the world whose
life is insured for such an enormous
amount. There are a number of men in
this city who have been trying for years
to achieve the point just gained by Mr.
Wananiaker, but they have so far failed,
although John B. Stetson, tho hat manu
facturer, has succeeded in getting poli
cies on bis lifo amounting to $750,000.
lie is desirous of putting the amount up
to a round million.
The rLiks on Mr. Wanamaker's life arc
divided equally into life and fifteen year
endowments, and he pays over 00,000
annually iu premiums to the different
companies iu which his ri.ks are placed.
In the matter of paying premiums ho is
outdone by Mr. Stetson, who pays v8o,
000 in the- same length of time, but tbo
diilercnee is accounted for by tho fact
that beides paying tho premiums on the
risks on his own life, he also ays thoe
on the lives of his business manager and
his son-in-law, both of whom ho has in
sured for $100,000 each, besides holding
policies for large amounts on other eo
ple's lives. Should Mr. Wananiaker al
low the annual dividends to go uncol
lected until the ri.-iks on his life expire he
will be entitled to about $1,400,000.
There are three companies which carry
premiums of idOO.000 each on his life.
But Mr. War.amaker is not the only man
in this city upon who.-.e lifo big ribks are
issued. (Jeorge "W. Childs is insured for
S100.0CO, and so is Wharton Barker,
ilaiiiitoji Duston ii insured for about
$150,000. J. G. Darlington is insured
for one-tenth of a million, and his part
ner, William M. Hunk, for twica tiiat
amount. Philadelphia Record.
Uow to Get ii Silver Cradle.
Talking of customs reminds me of a
curious old practice which still prevails
iu some of the provincial towns of Kng
land, of presenting the wife of the mayor
with a silver cradle should she givo birth
to a child during her husband s term of
office. The old custom is still kept up
in the town of Worcester, England,
where the mayotfc wife, having had a
chill born unto her, was a few weeks
ago presented by the corporation with
the traditional silver cradle. It was in the
form of a dish for fruit or flowers. On
each bide were cut glass dishes, betweeu
wluch the cradle, which was of wicker
work pattern, swung from the hands
o a pair of tilvcr cupids. Jewelers
