all the money they needed iioii them, J'et be
was beyond tho restraining influences of dv
mesticity, and it in no doubt partially duo to
this that ho is now dead as bo has been intel
lectually dead for two years or more.
We suppose that Campbell's career will bo
.'A come historic us that of tbo one American
not an actor who made a distinct pecuniary
hiioceis as n pl'iy wright. It is, indeed, a pity
that be should have collapsed on tho thresh
old of a career which, with a man of sterner
resolve and greater self control, might pcr
h.ijis have aralli-lel that of any of the win
ders of great j-cuniary prints in dramatic
composition. Tho fact that Campbell actu
ally ln-camo famous and bteped over the
threshold which divides poverty from wealth
in ono night is known to every one. But
thero aro soino interesting and highly sug
gestive incident connected therewith, which
it is now osiiblo to tell for the first time.
In the early spring of 1879 Campbell turned
up in New York almost in extremity, lie
was indi bted to friends for the bed on which
lt slept, und when ho did not meet a friend
bo o3 frequently compelled to go hungry.

On.'i day in June, 1S7D, Campbell met a
i friend on Broadway. The day was warm,
? ami yet Campbell's toai bo always wore a
Jong tailed rout was buttoned up to the
chin. All s rt of re(ljctions were possiblo at
thisdueer midsummer garb, but Campbell
was as liglit and trifling ns though be had a

was just going to lunch and invited Camp

not understand tho delicacy of tho invitation

J oil) so when be saw the lunch, and he paid
tiis eutertaiuer tho compliment of eating a

Bailed out of bis lodgings to find Louis
Aldrich, who bad won repute in Joaquin
Miller's play of "The Danites." Aldrich
gave n sigh of resignation when CampbeJl
cornered him, and thought the easiest way to
rid himself of what ho feared would be a bore
was to jx-rmit Campbell to read the play.
The playwright, with bis flimsy sheets in
band, Ix'saii. At first Aldrich was bored,
then euU!rtaiued, then interested, then ex
cited, anil then, with dramatic enthusiasm,
embraced the collarless play wright. Aldrich
Leoamo more enthusiastic than Campbell,
nnd promt? I fct onco to buy tho play aiU
pave tho playwright some earnest money on
the spot. So euthasiastic was Aldrich that
be wanted to mount the play and produco it
at once.
Behold, then, on the next morning an nmhi'
tious author with some money and a strug
- gling playwright with none bound for Stam
ford, Conn.. t see A- M. Palmer. The man
ager also sighed when he saw them, aiuj de
clined peremptorily to listen to any proposi
tion respecting the production of a play. lie
was tired, ho said. lie wanted to take bis
summer vacation in peace. Besides, be was
on the point uf going to New York and could
not listen to them. Campbell's spirits came
to tho rescue. "You'll have an hour on the
train," bo said, "and nothing to do. You
can bear the play and pass the time away,
anyway." They secured two cat in the
car, turning them so they would face, I'I
, mer sat in tho rear one and Campbell and
AlJrich faced him. Tbo expression on Tal
riltx's face would have appalled a more timid
jnan than CampbelL But he begun to read.
Palmer listened indifferently at first, but be
. ended by wiping his eyes. lie was affected
to tears "the first tirps and last time in bis ex
- pcrienco cs a manager. Sajd he, when they
reached New York, "You may bjjye tho
' Union Square theatre if you will mount and
produce the play. I wiil risk tho .rental on
the success of it."
ilr. Campbell said to the writer when
narrated the above history in 1SS2 that
-week after that play was produced he bad
received jcpositions for plays which, could
have entertained them, would have
rosght him 1 10,000 In cash. lie also de
clared that daring no season since the play

JOHN a GRAPHOPHONE, ESQ
A New Entertainment for Midsummer
Cact Correct Articulation.
The latest invention of the day, the graph
ophone, has also been seized upon by nov
elty hunters, and grcphophoue parties are
among the midsummer season's festivities.
The host begs, borrows or buys a grapho
phone. Then she sends out curds for an in
formal reception "to meet Mr. Crapho
phone." An expert oerator is on hand to
present Mr. Oraphophone to the guests, and
bring out bis strong points. But that
worthy is generally allowed to introduce
himself in a harsh voice, somewhut after the
following manner:
"How aro youf (whir). How are you,
ladies? (irr), I hopo I (snappp) see you well
this evening dop-iop-op). Let me intro
duce myself (whir). I'm um-111 'raphophone,
(pop), John (J. Grrraphphone, Esq., etc.,
etc."
After the professional has put the thing
through its paces, tho guests are invited to
"tackle" it. It is worth the full price of ad
mission to seo the scared, nervous look with
which a woman puts the receiver up to her
ear, after her doubts as to its diulxilical na
ture have been silenced, but not obliterated.
Tho novice who tries to talk into it looks as
sheepish as though he were being compelled
to make love in the presence of a congrega
tion, and everything, even the most ordinary
platitudes of the telephone service, fly from
his memory and leave bim seechless. There is
generally a rising young tenor in tho party
who sings his latest song into tho machine,
and is a good deal astonished at the timbre
of tho voice thut comes buck to bim. It is a
fact that while the double mirror bos long
enabled us to see ourselves as others see us,
110 one, before the introduction of tho graph
ophone into society, ever heard his voice as
others bear it. No person living could recog
nize his own voice when reproduced by a
graphophone, while from a medley composed
of tho utterances of a dozen of his friends he
will bo able to recognize and name each
voice instantly. When a person speaks tho
sound is conveyed to his ear through the
vibrations of the skull and not through the
vibrations of the air, tho medium by which
other ears are reached. There is generally an
elocutionist on hand to declaim into the ma
chine, and unless be is a model of his kind,
ho learus a few things about his own faults.
If the graphophono ever comes into general
uso it will be the most powerful agency ever
designed for tho improvement und perfection
of articulation. Every indistinctness, ellii-sis
or slurring of a syllable or consonant, is mag
nified by tho machine, and frequently leaves
u blank of half or three-fourths of a word.
After everybody has talked, whistled and
sung into the receptive ear of Mr. Oraphp
phoue, that gentleman bids them all a tear
ful adieu and the party breaks up. Wash

Making Designs for Advertisement.
Soino I'ix inonths ago an artist of my ac
quaintance complained to me in Ijitjer terms
ubout the difficulty he had in making both
ends meet. He was a winter of decided
ability, whose works should certainly have
sold uiwn thpjr NMrit, but he was unknown
outside of artistic circles, and even f tho
auctions to which he occasionally saup theni
wheu driven to desperation, his canvases
brought no remunerative priutsi. Last wppk
1 encountered my artist friend uguin. He
was doing the swell 011 Fifth avenue, with
the must miylUii ;f summer suits and a gen
em! air of affluence, lie UitufiRSS JJ.'? H,at
he had just come to town from Atlanta?
City, and was going to take a run down to
Xekjrf fT a couple of weeks. I asked
him if Im hud juto a fortune, and he
laughed.
"ot exactly," said he. "The fact is, it is
soap. When I got so deueedly hard up that
I couid not have been any worse off, an ac
quaintance uf mine, who is one of the edi
tors of a big magazine, stxit f'V nie to design

It is a fact that few of the public ate
aware of, I suppose, that many of the adver
tisement designs which appear in tho various
publications of tfS ja7 are executed by the
most prominent artists in tuw country. If
they were signed by the designers' iiamos
they would be recognized as tho productions
of men whesa pictures receive high praise
at the regular art csJiiit!fnj and whose

An Albany physieiaa says Americans

people, because they sit down so persistpnfjy

and Frenchmen walk and exercise, an Amer

MEXICO'S SOCIAL LIFE.
THE RAILROAD DOING AWAY WITH
MANY OLD CUSTOMS.
Tlio Modifying Inflnencea in Kxternul.
Absurtl Old Moorish Traditions Th
Senorita iu Rebellion The Male Kscort.
Objection ttt Greater Social Freedom.
Naturally the railways, in changing cus
toms and ways of life, first show their modi
fying influences in externals, as in dress and
house furnishings, but a change is bound to be
made in Mocial customs. Mexico derived its
habits of bfe from Spain ata time when Spain
was still overlain by Moorish traditions and
customs. Colonial Mexico faithfully copied
the pattaru of Mother Spain, and stuck to
the example long after many Spanish cities
began to be Uuroieaniz(Hl. But tho influence
of the dead aik I gone Moor is sli.l strong in
both Spain and her former colonies. Tho
Moorish house holds its own here, with its
quiet exterior und lavish adornment within;
with its barred windows and heavy gates
rather than doors, und its grouping of all
tho living rooms around a courtyard, thu3
making a bouse as open as day inuide, and
destroying that privacy we gain in the north
from the system of placing chambers up
staii-s. Tho Mexican house, with its rooms
communicating by glazed doers, and each
room oiKsuing by another dtxir upon a corri
dor, is almost semi-public. Its air of privacy
consists solely in the big outer door and tho
barred windows. Inside these houses, many
of them a3 beautiful as a dream, filled with
birds and flowers, and gently noisy by tho
plashing of fountains, live tho women, whose
outer life is hedged about with absurd old
Moorish traditions, contrary to the native
Mexican cpirit of liberty und to tho tenden
cies of the age. Mexican women aro the
severest critics of the ancient customs. They
rebel against them and sigh for a greater
measure of social freedom. Ask almost any
senorita and sho will tell you that "lifo ii
stupid and dull, that there is no social
gayety, and that she is tired to death of it,
ami wants to go to New York or Faris,"
If you wish to keep a young girl contented
with the old order of things, restrict her
reading to her prajer book; don't let her seo
a novel or a newspajer, and keep her caged
up in the house. Then, perhaps, sho will im
agine that this is thw lot of women the l ouud
world over. But women aro keen, and it
doesu't tako long for them to discover that
men bavo mado tho rules by which one-half
tho human race nro expected to live iu meek
subjection. There is not a man alivo with
tho soul pf a niousp who would submit to the
rules governing women, even in ',Le fivesf
couutries. When a girl of 18 goes out on the
street sho does not wish to bo ''protected" by
a G-year-old boy cub in knickerbockers. Sho
thinks, and rightly, that she ought to be able
to go by herself, if sho so wishes, and that if
men will seak to her and annoy her, the
police ougUt io Jock tiai ui. Aa4 sh is ex
actly right. A woman, young or old, should
bo as free from molestatioa in the public
streets as a mun. and if she is not, then the
lamp nosts aro lacking their fittest orna
ments. IX THE CITY OK 3XICQ.
In this bf; City of Mexico, with rich
houses, great churches, electrio light, street
cars, luxurious shops and all tho appliances
of civilization, there is not a single, solitary
cafe where a lady can go without a male cs
cori t,. tal;e en ice or . light lunch. This is a
humbug, and no wonder' Mexit .ait women aro

must confess out i:atioif a vtns:rsd bar

strong to permit women their just rights.
The objection frequently made to giving
greater social treedom to th& wofl, that
tho men, being of southern blood, are too
passionate iu their addresses, and would, if
permitted to mingle more freely with the

make love in eai-uc?t. But I don't believe
there is any less chivalry among Mexican
men than exists in northern nations. The
ovcrstrew laid on love in Latin nations
comes tr;m the M.oqi:eb StiCiasifjn in which
the women livo. The young men are poet
ical, and talk of love when they should be
playing polo or hunting, and the mystery
surrounding the lifo of the women stimu
lates their fancies. It is en unhealthy sys
tem when young meWbegln writing crotiq
verses at an age when outdoor sports should
engage their attention. The boy in Latin
countries sees, of course, bis mother and bl
sisters, but, ii'ko all lads, he has a decided
taste for somebody else's sisters. He can't
call on them familiarly, owing to this fins
old Moorish etiquette, and so he must confine
himself to warning balconies and contriv
ing means to smuggle notes to the adored
one by some bribe taking servant If he
had been like an American lad, sent to a
mixed school whers he found out that girls
worn very much like boys, and that some
are cross and disagreeable, soma too spoony
and others too aojd, ha would not rouUo so
much of a mystery of the female sex. But,
r.ot having passed through that period of
disillusionment, he begins to make love when

Animals Premonitions of Death.
Mr. L. IL Craig writes, afGrming that ani
mals often have premonitions of death. In
proof of this assertion he offers certain an
ecdotes. Here is one of theni: 'fTfcars ago,'?
he says, "I was staying at a farmhouse where
it was fhe pustom every evening to drive a
small herd of obws froni the poitura a U
near the barn. It was decided one day to
kill one of the number, a yearling, whose
mother also belonged to the herd. The calf
was accordingly left in the lot, while the rest
were driven as usual to the pasture. No
sooner had the butpher slain bis victim than
there could be distinctly heard from tht pas
ture half a mile away tho mournful lowing
of the mother, tho other cows occasionally
joining in what could be described only as a
waif. The eifcuuistaneo interested me very
much, and I walked over to the pasture.
Through thirty" sears that pathetic picture
of materna) grief has remained' with me. It
stemed to roe that ther was the aepal sob
bing of a bursting heart, and to my child ishJ
eyes there were tears moistening tbo face of
the poor, gentle, sorrowful creature before
me." North American Review.
WEAKNESS OF FAT MEN.
Xlielr Conversation Too Often lltir s to
Flirtation or Food, Kays I-ady I. In J epir
Why is it that as a rule fat men are tr j much
more amorous than thin men) Is it tf ,ut they
grow fat on the pleasant pastime of making
love, while more intellectual pursir'its run to
skin and bone? Many fat men aro simply
rather stupid, good natured undlnordiimtely
vain; the' aro generally the lai,f, and it may
bo that tho pleasant sensation of vanity is
good nourishment. But it is surprising how
often, given the opportunity, the talk of fat
men runs to flirtation or to food. Of course
I don't mean to ay that a fat mun always
talks of various dishes any n.oro than that
his conversation with a woman usually in
cludes an offer of marriage. On tho con
trary, perhaps, knowing his own weukness,
Uo is more chary of his proposals than mv his
leaner brethren; by the same token he drcs
not openly discourse on food, but ho will
amble off gently in its direction.
He w-ill tell you of the lcst dining places
in every continental city lie has visited, or
remark on the wretched cooking here, tho
insufficiency of service there. I'erhaps he
will tell you of his grains or the size of his
cucumbers, though grajes and cucumbers J
are not luucu iu 111s way. lie sometimes
prides himself on his cellar, but ho will
of cener know the ingredients of an out of tho
way curry, or have ut his fingers' ends tho
names of places where you can get choice
and curious dishes.
So in talking to women his conversation
runs to little compliments, and a semblance
of love making; ho talks of mama go, hedges
round it, and smiles and looks up to we if
they uro pleused. Wheu he sieak3 of women
it is from the old fashioned point of view
that he considers them, for ho is too fat to
hurry on und catch u; r. V-v l-1 ; '. i. .
woman, ho thinks, should bo pretty, irrev

ing. It is by a blush or a smilo that men of
lis type are caught She has no business to
lendw anything about books, except in a iju
periicial manner that will enablo her to talk
for five minutes only of poetry end ucvuls.
Sho should especially know nothing of poli
tics. He does not like women with ideas of
their own; they ought to take them distilled
and diluted from men iu general aud their
husbands in particular.
I have frequently noticed another curious
trait; it is that after the first few indulgent
minutes ho c'i verts his conversation to his
own sex, aifll will almost ignore mine, even
in a party of half a dozen, for as a rule good
bi ceding is not his strong point. Thero are
exceptions, of course, ami I have known
some charming ones. I am only sjKiaking of
the majority. If I were a girl I would pray
heaven to save me from a fat mau. Well it
Many fat men have made love, or tried to
make love to me, but comparatively few
have como to tho ioint. Your fat man is
cautious, and does not commit himself to a

The World's Oldest Rose Kulu
Th3 eldest rose bush in the world is at
Ilildersheim. It was planted more than 1.000
years ago by Charlemagne in commemora
tion of a visit made bJ.m by tho aiMoassutior
of tho Cah'ph Uaun-al-Kascbid, of "Arab
ian Kights" fame. A few years afterward
wheu Louis the Pious, tho sou of Charhj
magne, was hunting in the neighborhood,
mass was said in the open air, Qa returning
to bis home, the officiating priest found that
tho holy image was missing, I'eturning to
to the spot where mass had been said, he dis
covered the missing imago in the branches of
a wild roso tree. As it miraculously evaded
his grasp he went back to Louis and his suite
and told them of the wonder. They all
rushed to tho spot and fell on their kneea bo-i-jcv
the miraculous bush. A cathedral was

Stopping a- Steamer Jlead rsy,
A y'i-ench inventor, M. Pagan, has discov
ered a way to stop the headway of a steamer
in short order, and consequently lessen con
siderably the dangers of collision at sea. The
Havre and Bordeaux papers speak of a com

can be tossed overboard readily and towed
byjk cable. The resistance, without being
great enough to produce a shock, rapidly
overcomes the headway of the vessel. New
