"Tho Eleventh Hour , " Lincoln J.
Carter's successful melodrama , was
greeted by n large nudienco lost night
nt the Auditorium , and those nttoudim ;
were well pleased with the performance ,
which was full of intensely thrilling
situations nnd the heavy man and here
coino into fretrueiit contliot. The cost
woa a good one , every part being very
cleverly performed. Each net ended
with n climax wherein the villinu met
with a reverse but the finish of the last
act was probably never equalled as a
thrilling spectacle. For this .tho singe
setting is magnificent , representing n
room in a millionaire's homo. Costly
furniture , brio n brae , lamps , vnses etc. ,
fill the room. In it the here , the villhm
and their friends indulge in n rough and
tumble fight. At each move they rush
into au article of furniture which topples
over and the fall is accompanied by the
crashing glass of the handsome decora
tion. Ill reality considerable property
{ ( ( destroyed in this act but it has the
appearance of being much moro de
structive than it actually is. When the
curtain arose many exclamations were
canned by I ho loveliness of the scone
and these were duplicated with stress
while the work of destruction WHS at Its
hnlght. Throughout It was a perform
ance to appeal to the averngo audience
an line ftpoochoH and graceful gestures
would not do. The next performance
fs that of Herrmann , the magician on
Friday evening.
The iMidlfiico that attended tlio enter
tainment at the Auditorium last evening
was hut slightly cognizant of the
troubles that confronted the manage
ment during the performance. In the
( irst place , the llriMimu had not attended
to his duties and when the doors were
opened tlio tires were nlmost out in the
furnaces. Then In the llrst net what to
the nudioix'u looked like an eonontriclly
of the calcium light , man was in reality
the destruction of a largo cell of insu
lated wire nnd a narrow escape from n
fire , owing to n short circuit. The
thing could not bo stopped until the cir
cuit was shut oil' , which for a moment
left the house in total darkness , to the
tiuhnrriiBNinont of the actors and the
wonder of the audience. The danger of
llro was quietly removed without excit
ing the audience and a panic was
averted. The smoke that tilled the
building for a few moments after the
accident caused some to believe that the
actors were indulging In a rubber boot
stew. Between two of the nets the drop
urtnln refused to work either up or
down , as the ropes were home what
tangled , although two men were strain
ing und tugging at the windlass. Then
to top it all , the Uormiui dialect comed
ian , Chillies d'ardnor , refused to sing
bocatiso an accompaniment hud not been
provided. The audience was somewhat
tlisiippointed because this feat nro was
olimlimtul and could not understand .tho
cause , as no explanation was oll'orod.
Manager Spear , however , explains the
matter in another column.

During the storms that rnge intermit
tently around the English const In win
ter the landsman's mind turns In sym
pathy toward those who In ship or life-
bout nro lighting the waves for dear
life. Hut how often does ho give one
thought to the men who immure them
selves In the lighthouses that stud the
coast ?
I would rather spend my llfo in n
penal settlement than be n lighthouse
keeper , " declared a man to the writer
after a visit to the Hlshop lighthouse ,
off the Cornish coast. "A convict does
see a lltjle of the world ho lives In , but
n lighthouse keeper sees nothing but a
dreary expanse of water. I am not sur-
irlsed that many of them should lose
.heir mental balance. "
The visitor to the Bishop lighthouse
lid not overcolor the picture. It was
only the other day that one rend of the
Lougshlps lighthouse , also off the coast
of Cornwall , having been completely
solated for many weeks In consequence
of fearful storms. The keepers had
jeon reduced to smoking coffee , hvps
mil tea leaves , though , fortutmUly ,
they had not wanted for food.
The keepers of the famous Eddystono
Ighthouso not Infrequently llnd them
selves In a similar predicament. In n
; nlo the waves that buffet themselves
against this wonderful monument to
the engineering skill of the country are
of such stupendous magnitude that
they rise to n height of liOO feet and
sweep right over the Inntern. To those
cooped ui ) Inside the sound of these
wnvoH Is like that of n battery of guns
it close quarters. "At such times the
ioiist > shakes like n tree with a man
on the top 'of It , " was the graphic de
scription of , one why spent many years
of his life there.
. The new Eddystone Is the roomiest
and most comfortable of all our rock
lighthouses. A sectional view of It
shows the various compartments , com
mencing at the bottom with the water
tank ; then the entrance , the two oil
tcccptaclcs , the storeroom , the crnne ,
the living apartment , the low light , the
bedroom nnd the service room In the
order named. Formerly only two
keepers were employed In the light-
Louse , but a grim Incident resulted In
their number being Increased. One of
the two men died. So llerce ran the
seas that the remaining keeper could
not get the body of his Into comrade to
the shore. For n month the tempestu
ous weather continued , end for a
month the surviving keeper lived alone
with the body ns his only companion ,
lie was nfrald to cast It Into the
waves , for he might be accused of mur
der.
Keepers of rock lighthouses do not
last long. The Incessant pounding of
the waves against the building , the
loneliness , the want of fresh air and
exercise reduce the men to a state of
nervousness that Is sometimes pitiful
to behold. They require a fortnight's
leave every six weeks , but this liberal
allowance does little to Improve their
physical state. A medical man whose
duty It Is to pay periodical visits to
ono of these lighthouses confesses that
there Is no remedy for the Ills peculiar
to the keepers except retirement.
The utter isolation of the silent sen-
tlnels of our coast Is well illustrated by
the case of the Hlshop lighthouse afore
mentioned , which stands right out In
the Atlantic. Not once In n year is it-
calm enough for the superintendent to
land his stores at the lighthouse steps.
They have to bo hauled up by means
of a windlass from above. A visitor
bold enough to visit the place Is "ad
mitted" In n similar way. He places
ono fet In a noose at the end of a rope ,
which Is thrown down to his boat , nnd ,
gripping the rope ( Irmly above his
head , he Is drawn up to the "see off , "
ns the plinth around the lighthouse Is
called. Thence he climbs up a per
pendicular ladder to the door of the
house.
Superstition adds a terror to the life
of tlae men In this lighthouse , for the
first structure was washed away
bodily , and the keepers believe that the
rock Is haunted. A fear of a different
kind keeps the men of Muckle Fluggn
lighthouse , the most northern point of
Scotland , on the tenterhooks of n terri
ble suspense. On three occasions the
huge black rock on which the light
house stands has been shaken by nn
earthquake.
There Is something comical , though
characteristic of the stiff necked Scot ,
In n story which comes from n neigh
boring lighthouse which Is the charge
of two families. They live on a desert
Island. From year end to year end
they never see a visitor except the man
who brings their stores. Eighteen
months ago the bends of the two fami
lies quarreled , and ever since they have
Censed to speak.
At the shore lighthouse of Ushlnlsh
the keeper's family has to travel 40
miles to "kirk. " It is no reflection on
their piety to add that they are not
regular attendants.
A lighthouse keeper receives n maxi
mum wage of 75 a year , out of which
he has to supply hla own rations. These
consist of such unappetizing edibles as
tinned beef and hard biscuits , usually
washed down with weak tea and con
densed milk. No Intoxicating liquors
are allowed. London Mail.

FOOD OF AMERICANS.
An KiiKtlxh Woman Tolls of tlio
StriuiK * * TliltiKN She Ate Here.
An English woman who visited Amer
ica a short time ago has been telling
her country women about the "strange
food across the water. " Of course she
discovered green corn , but she had boon
prepared for that. Oyster crabs were
quite new to her.
"They look like Hoston baked beans , "
she explains , "but they taste much bet
ter. "
A" oyster cocktail filled her with awe V
and enthusiasm. She tried It at Del-
monlco's and thought It was soup. Of
course in England one didn't servo
soup In a glass ; but , then , neither did
the English serve boiled eggs In a
glass. One could never be sure of
Americans. :
Of cnnvnsbnck duck she has a poor
opinion , but thinks she might like It
better If Americans would have It cook-
vd or even warmed. As for terrapin ,
slip shifrs Its praise. She found It much
like calf's head , and she always liked
calf's head. Shades of Maryland gour
mets , what a slur Is there !
'All the puddings In America are pie
or Ice cream , " she says , but It must be
understood that pip does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie is a tart
und Is ubiquitous , she explains.
She sat next to nn American man
who ate a lump of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned a plateful of
Ice cream over both , but she doesn't
know that that Is a general custom.
The oysters were good , but had most
Impossible names , and the cockles
( menntng clams ) are excellent. On the
whole , Ynn'-ee ' food and cooking aiv
good , but there Is too much of the food
on the table nt one time. New York

A Twoltvs Hour Dinner.
They diued well , If not wisely , in the
old days described by Sir Algernon
West In his "Recollections. " He says :
"Thanks to the Introduction of smok
ing after dinner , wine drinking Is now
over. What It was in old days ap
pears most Incredible. The late Lord
Clanwilllam told mo of one occasion
when he had dined nt a friend's villa
near Putney. The dinner was extraor
dinarily late for those days at 8
o'clock.
"When they at last rose from the
table and went up to their rooms , Lord
Clanwilllam flung open his window
and saw the haymakers coming into
the Held.
" ' 1 wonder , ' he thought , 'what hour
they begin work. ' And on consulting
his watch he found It was SUO : the
haymakers were returning to work
from their breakfast. " New York

the nervous strength that
