Tho now theater filed a coitlflcato

that it docs not lack either capital or

llvo In New York by tho cost rather
than valuo of things. An apple pur
chased on Fifth nventio costs twice as
much as tho samo 'ipplo bought on
Fourteenth street. Tho dollar Howery
shirt costs twice as much on Broad
way. This la tho city whero they "pay
tho price."
Tho self-induleent man who spends
$300 a day has not saved his money
out of his wuges. Tho woman who
could not mnunKo her household for n
season on less than $75,000 is not tho
daiiKhter or tho wlfo of a wago earner.
Kconomlcal beginners really have no
actual relation to tho existing pioblcin
of living In Now York.
What docs It cost to llvo In Now
York? Moro than you can over hope
to earn In wages; and, so far as tho
chances of speculation aro concerned,
that Infers tho necessity of "pull." If
you haven't a "pull," social or political
or llnnnclnl, your speculative chances
nro slight. Obviously thin state of
restless endurance Is demoralizing. It
undermines character. Presently you
find yourself following tho procession
of people who nro living beyond their
means, because they seem to be enjoy
ing themselves at It.
Tho only wny to llvo within your in
como lu Now York is to become blind
to tho vory extravagances nnd allure
ments that make this the metropolis,
nnd to sncriilco tho pleasures of
temptation for tho comforts of an hon
orable old ago.
The directors nnmod In tho new In
stitution are: Samuel L. Clemens
(Mark Twain), Rev. P. S. Grant, Otto
II. Kahn. R. J. Collier. Miss A. M.
Herts and Chnrles B. Miner.
Tho theater Is to have Us home for
teaching, etc., for tho present In Mr.
Collier's residence at 1!0 Oramercy
park. For tho coming season tho
newer organization will continue to
supply entortnlnmonls of n dramatic
order for and nt the Educational al
liance, hut In duo time it expects to
have a suitable theater building of Its
own.
In addition to tho directors named
theio hi to bo nn advisory board, of
which one member has been selected,
Rev. Dr. O. S. Hall, president of Clark
uulverslty of Worcester, Mass. ,
Hrlcfly stated, the object of tho the
ator Is education on both sides of tho
footlights, which Is to say It alms to
fanilllai izo tho younger generation
with some of tho best plays, both
classical and modem, by permitting
young people to take part In tho per
formances and tho stago management,
nnd In turn by so educntlng a genera
tion whlcii later on shall demand In
tho greater theaters a high order of
plays and take nway from tho mana
gers tho excuse somotlmes henrd now

Twenty thousand dollars Ib only a

having them die of malnutrition,
drowned them.
Once It was bruited about that
Tabby had given birth to a bunch of
kittens all tied together, not only the
neighbors called to see tho monstros
ity, but oven tho neighbors' cats. For
a whole week all of tho neighbors'
cats congrogated In Mrs. Grlnnell's
back yard and cellar to view Tabby's
funny little ones, and to discuss the
phenomenon In their fellno way.
Mrs. Grlnnell became very much
annoyed at tho notoriety given her
the Mountains.
tho breeding of these birds in Colorado
because of their rarity nnd beauty. Ho
has already bred nnd liberated thou
sands of pheasants, but the caper
cailzie wore hard to get. For months
ho has had a commission In Sweden
for two perfect birds. As tho result
of this order, the two arrived re
cently. The capercallzlo Is almost as largo
as and similar in habits to tho Amor

that It can ciuluro much moro Bevoro

Mr. Kondrlck will koop tho birds at

"Why did yon not contradict those
reports of your marriage, desertion
nnd pathetic death?" asked the re
porter. "Money," replied tho plo girl placid

a lot of stuff published about me was
not true.
"No reporter has over talked to me.
I w8 spirited away when that dinner
broke up nnd no one, not even my own
parents, saw mo for a long, long time.
Perhaps other glrla represented them
selves as Susie Johnson nnd did tlu
talking. I never did. They said 1
was married and that my husband,
brooding over my role In that famouB
dinner, went nearly Insane and de
serted mo. I never married. They
said I had consumption. 1 have never
been ill n day. And you'll admit I'm
very much allvo. !
"Now that my lips are unsealed. I
am willing enough to tnlk. My mem
ory for dates Is not very clear, but I
think that dinner was given In May,
1895. 1 had haen posing for various

15 yeaiB of age. Henry C. Poor gave

"I .think Robert Rcld planned tho
dinner nnd Mr. Poor footed the bills,
because It was Mr. Reld who engaged
me and told mo what a great event It
was to bo. One hundred and fifty
quarts of chnmpagne, he said, had
been ordered, and the dinner was to
cost $100 per pinto without the wine.
"Ho rehenrsed mo very carefully for
the part I was to play. You see, I had
posed for him very often and ho knew
just what to expect of me. He bought
a great shallow pan or tub, just big
enough to hold me, nnd had a cover
of crust baked for It. Then the crust
was vory carefully lifted off, I was
put Inside and the cover laid over me.
My shoulders were draped with black
gauze und a blackbird such as you put
on a hat was fastened in my hair,
which hung down around my shoul
ders. In my hand I carried a box
filled with tiny birds. As soon as the
crust was cut I took the lid off this
box and out flew the birds. Then I
popped up into view."

straightway summoned her nophow,

bade him dispatch the quartet of kit

ously considering ending the existence
of Tabby herself, for over since Bho
nrrlved nt maturity tho cat has been
doing some funny "stunt" like this.
Indeed, sho Is seemingly beyond re
form. This, however, Mrs. Grlnnell
will say In her favor, she Is a cham

with which sho Is equipped seem to
stand her In good stead whenever sho
