The transformation In the "C'lamenceau ca-e" which occurretl Ia-t night at the Mamhird theatre was cer tainly a startling one. When Mi-s Pearl E tinge attempt el on Monday la-t to Im personate l7n. the audience quickly recog nized that -he did not till the bill, or rather, tilled It too much. The wa-not an arti-t.-model. by a good deal, with her 1D0 pound of !le-h, and when -he appeared in the third act a-an artist's model with only enough dranervmi to enrwenl :i vrv l!rnitel rwirtlfm of her ample form, -bo became the butt I ,.f 1 I10 ....ll..r- La-t night Sybil John-tone, formerly of Minneapolis, as-umed the role. Despite the Inclemency of the weather, the house u crowded; Mi-s Eytinge occupied a bo. Mis-John-tone appeared as the model in a co-tumecin-i-tlngof pink tights and pink jerey. Of course they were of silk. She wore no stay- or corsets and her form wa dispiav.tl In a strikingly realistic manner. The spectators were astonished, but the lady did not seem to be at all ba-hful and her tights were without trunk- and alto- pet her it wa-oue of the scantiest and most .. . . . ..... Miggetio at 1 ire ever -n-n in a .enr iorK theater. When Mis- Eytinge appeared in thl- scene she at !ea-t offered an apology for drapery in the -liape of a bit of tulle, but an apure- hensle chill attacked every person In the ! auditorium when -he volunteered to remove jherdtaperv. he did not do it, however. I When the part was offered to Miss Johnstone I she declined to play it utiles- that offensive 1 and -uggeslUe bit of tulle drapery could be dNpens.-d with. She wa determined in thl. j and from the fact that it wa. entirely dis carded last night, she must haie been given I her way.

They may have winced under that patent influence of the sight that met their gaze. I but they never turned a hair.

Mis Johnstone is about 24 years of age. has colden halt, dark blue eyes and a figure that li- the ik1 of much exercise. Miss Johnstone i not cry will known iu theatrical circles here, although she has ap peared iu the Henrietta" as the wifeof the. villiau. and iu one or two other play. She is quite youus and the wife of a Wall street ! broker, who keeps the place of their resi- ) dence a dead secret. Manager J. M. Hill, of the Standard theater, said to-day: , I cannot Imagine how anybody could ob- t ject to Mis- Johnstone's interpretation of the part of Iza in the "t'lemenceau Case." Her form is simplv perfect: lti the model scene she txik her dress, after the artist had tfiilshtnl with her. and wrapped it about her: fcien -he tied it around her waist and lllU s.vo lier busJ and ncck Indewl. froin ,,K, w j,t UHi tj,c appearanceof being naked.

The di-patch. which it 1- aened wa -ent oy O'Rrien. and which Is the basis of the charge, has not been produced. O'Rrien ' ' treats the whole affair as a joke, and threatens to take action against those cn- Pa?cd in the P"--" While there Is not the sightet sympathy among news. paper men for O'Brien there Is a good deal j of feeling In his favor on account of the I manner in which the prosecution Is being conducted. There is a x-ery widespread ! feeling that had Prince George not been ' mi.xed up in the matter no action would have been taken, and that Prince George i simply being used to further the interests of certain private individuals. eV large fund ha been subscribed for the prosecu- I tion. so that the eminent lawyers who are ' conducting the case against O'Brien are not working for nothing. There is a good deal doubt a to whether a conviction can be obtained, many holding that a charge of libel does not hold against a member of the royal family and that the only charge that can be preferred is one of treason.

A gentleman who escaped from the wreck said: "The train was going at a lively rate of speed. The passengers appeared a happy crowd, manv of them ladies, chatting and laughing after a day's pleasure at the Perkcs county fair. I was viewing the country through which we werf- passing, when thero was a terrible crash. I was hurled from my seat, while the cars rolled down the twenty-foot embankment, and I was thrown from one side of the car to the other. One end of the car went into water and I was thrown against the side of the car with a force that partial ly stunned me. I quickly recover ed myself and -managed to climb upon the seats on that side of the car which lay against the embankment. I was a prisoner in the car, unable to get out. Around me were human beings struggling in tho water, screaming in their fright, and some almost dragged me back into the water again. A few saved themselves as I did and the remainder struggled in the water and then quietly sunk out of sight." FIGS AND THISTLES. From the Ram's Horn. There are no clouds -where God is.
