There was & largo and excellent audience at the opera housa last evening to greet the great roidor and impersona tor , Miss Helen Potter. These who came expecting to hear simply some excellent reading , were happily disappointed , for Miss Potter showed herself to bo a true artist , the entertainment being no more like the usual "elocutlonaiy" entertain ment than the stumbling of a school boy over his speller can bo compared to the lines spoken by a Booth , The programme was well arranged , mingling the humorous with the sentimental and the grand , so that there was a pleating variety , and frequent changes In the emotions of the audience , and these emo tions Miss Potter seemed to bo able to handle as easily as Essipoff does tbo keys of her piano. Mlia Potter is especially fine In her Impersonations , however , and nothing to bo in any way compared to these has been witnessed hero. Her costumes in these impersona tions , and her make-up In every dcail , are porfect.lbnt there Is moro than a moro trickery of dross. There is tha tone , the peculiar mannerisms , and the imitation of the person , all theto Httlo and yet Important and _ difficult features , which make the deception com plete , and show the true artist. In the selections requiring strength and power of notion , Miss Potter la grand , and , In faot in all the varied selections , Miss Potter shows a wonderful cultivation of wonderful natural gifts , and these who misted seeing and hoarlnt ? her last night must regret it.

When the sun climbed up over the tops of the Fourth avenue houses this morning and sent its light crawling in through the windows and skylights of Madison Square Garden , It found the skateis still going round and round with the energy and enthusiasm which , to speak without regard for tbo absolute raason and accuracy of Im agery , might make the sun fear for its own wonderful record , if the sun were capable of stooping to jealousy. Pat Gllmore bad lone ; since taken bis band off to bed and the men sped round and round , encouraged only by the rattling rhythm of their skates and the presence of a few night birds whoso ardent en thusiasm kept them In the building as long ai the lights were burning. At 9 a. m. a thin stream of spectators trickled in to replace the last of the owls and looked around to see what had hap pened since they left. The first thing they noticed was the score , and that made them open their eyes. Snowden and W , Boyst were tearing around at the same old rate , and each had 112 miles rolled up behind him. Maddocks , who rowed to beat the twenty-four-hour re cord when ho started was well on his way with 111 miles chalked up upalnst his name. Reynolds , the terror of Mon tana , was only throe miles behind the leader , and Walton was just three miles behind him. The rest of the score was : Omolla , 103 ; Schock , 103 ; Emery , 95 ; Francis , the colored boy , 93 ; A. Boyst , 90 ; Harriman , 90 ; Claxton , 65 ; Graham , 42 Npremao had struggled bravely with his first pair of skates for thirty minutes after the start. Then ho got another pair and endeavored to subdue them. It was not to be done , and after a struggle of an hour and three-quarters ho dropped out , with ton miles to hU credit. Small had dona wonderf ally at first , but the early corners didn't find him either. Ho went thirty-eight miles , with the desperate energy of a man after the last car , and then gave up. At 2 o'clock a band came to encourage the skaters and the public , but the latter did not turn ont as the managers had hoped. Not moro than 1,000 persons were In the garden at any time during the afternoon , and not moro than 2,000 came altogether. Maddocks , who seems to have a lot of friends and admirers , divided his time between desperate brushes with his rivals and carrying around the bcqnots which were showered upon him. At noon he had passed Boyst and was oven with Snow- den. Harriman , the stalwart favorite en whom the sporting men staked their money at firat , was very unfortunate. His skates seemed unmanageable and two bad falls which ho sustained In turn ing the corners wore followed by a third which shook his big frame badly and made big air holes in the knees of his big tights. Ho stuck to it , however , and was rewarded with a score of 110 miles when he stopped to eat a bite and have hli skates oiled at noon. The miles rolled up by the others at that hour were : William Boyst , 140 ; Reynolde , 140 ; Wai- ton , 141 ; Schock , 130 ; Oraella , 131 ; Emery , 124 ; Francis , 120 ; A. Boyst , 119 , Graham , G8 ; Olaxton , 55 , Poor Olaxton was in a bad way. From 6 In the morning until noon he wai una ble to do anything and when he finally came out and started around again it was plain that bo waa In no condition ta skate I six days. Every movement showed how great was his desire to atop. At 5 o'clock bo had made 98 miles and stopped to be examined by a physician. That wise man informed Olaxton that an mflama < tlon had set In Inside of him and advisee him to atop If he wanted to keep alive , Claxton stopped. Next to these at thai hour came Reynolds , to whoso shoulderi the sporting men shifted their prefer ence when Harrlman disappointed them Ho had 200 miles to nls credit , and wai doggedly piling up more. Al Smltl started tha boom in his favor by offerlnj to bet $1,000 that he would boat any om I else , and spent the rest of the day li looking after his Interest ! . At 8 o'clock Patrick Gilmore cam back with his band , About five nnndrei women and aa mtny men wore In tb garden , At 10 o'clock Msddocis mlo ! ahead of the best 24 hour record , (243 ( mllearth ) | two more houri to skate. At midnight Haddocks had skated 276 miles In leea than 24 hours , beating the record by 33 miles , and Snowden was drowning his grief In frantic bursts of eppood only ono milo behind him. The Bcoro at 1 a. in. waa : Bladdocks , 270 miles ; Snowdon , 280 ; W. Boy t , 273 : Reynolds , 208 ; Walton , 242 ; Ome- Ha , 220 ; Schock , 245 ; A. Boyst , 242 ; Emery , 211 ; Francis , 220 ; Hnrrlman , 230 ; Clayton , 08. Haddocks at 1 a. m. woa off the track. FROM THE KA1SEKSXADT. Humor of PrlncoiB 1'rmltno Mcttcr- nloU ArUtocrnoy mnd Iitcdor Singers. Now York Herald. VIEIOTA , May 9,1885 Joy prevai'a In BndvPcsth. A Hungarian exhibition on a grand scale proves of great attraction to the Uagyara of the whole kingdom and brings many strangers to the Hun garian metropolis. It Is the first exhi bition that has over boon hold at Badn. Poeth. The Emperor Francis Joseph and the Crown Frlnco Rudolf , in their speeches at the opening ccromonlss , pointed out its Importance for Hungary and paid homage to the remarkable In- dnstiial progress of the country. After word emperor and prlncp walked through the halls of the exposition , accompanied by the dignitaries of the omplro and the reporter. Iho dead season la already upon us. An oppresslvo heat has prevailed In the whole of Austria during the past four weeks real dog days and the scorching sun threatens to destroy the seed corn. In many districts , Indeed , seed ha ? had to bo sown again , and it la not expected that the grain sown thus late will bo able to ripen in tlmo. Aa a consequence the prlco of wheat , which had already sunk , has gene up nearly 25 per cent. The rape-seed oil plant has been totally de stroyed. The failure of this crop , how ever , is very welcome to the petroleum producers. The greatest interest is shown just now in the Viennese Volkatangorinnen. It Is not alone the lower classes of the bourgeoisie which favor the modern muse t the chaneonnotto , but the highest aris tocracy has taken it into its head to fill every evening the Httlo Yorstadt- thoatera and the Wlrthshnuaor , in which the humorous but of ton rude Viennese Lieder are heard to beat advantage. A low days ago alxty members of the Viennese aristocracy gave a soiree to the Vienna Volkssdngor and Volkeaangorln- non. Among the sixty was the pick of our highest nobility the Trautmanns- dorfs , Schonborns , Esterhazja , Stoakaus , Pallavlcinls , Ktnskys and Rothschilds. Ladies of the hlehost aristocracy , led by the Princess Pauline Mottornicb , wore also pretont. The Volksaangerlnnen , whoso local names were Mlizl , Hans ! , Goscherl , Kutzel , Linder and twenty othora sang their Lloder till the day began to dawn. Princess Mettornlch , who sings chansonnettea horselt , created an especial sensation. All of a sudden aho went up to a group of aristocratic gentlemen and cried out , almost weeping , "Now , 1 have lost a false tooth ; you must find it for mel" The gentlemen gallantly began the search.but they failed to find the lost tooth. A day or two afterward Princess Pan- line received by the post a very pretty enveloped missive. Opening it , however , ahe found enclosed In the letter a big tooth the tooth of an ox. The princess recognized the hand writing of the gentleman who had sent the insulting reminder , and she sent him the following answer : LIBBER FCERHT I have known for a long time that you could be gallant , but I never thought that yon would be able to carry your gallantry so far as to have ono of yonr own teeth drawn on my account. This wltly answer was warmly ap plauded by the Viennese. It was equiva lent styling the prince a stupid ass. A few days after the solrco for the Viennese Volksanger , the same members of the aristocracy did homage to Mmo. Therese , the French chasonnotto singer , just now In Vienna. Again there was a soiree , and again the Princess Metternich played the principal rolo. When the princess was In Paris , her husband being the Austrian ambassa dor to the court of Napoleon III. , she had two lady fclonds the Emprcs Eu genie , with whom she conjointly led tha fashions in toilets for the whole and the half world , and Mmo. Thorcse , from horn she learned how to slug French iianaonnettes , The Empress has lester or throne and Mmo. Theresa her voice , lut the Princess Metternich still retains er humor and her capacity for the en- oymont of lifo. The two soirees gave lor the opportunity to allow free scope o her good humor and her clover wit. THE OJJD TAB'S KNIFE. Marino 1'arn witli the Accuato- raary Embellishments , Ensconced on a small pile of lumber n ono of the North-end wharves , with Is legs crossed after the fashion of n ailor , sat a middle-aged 'longshoreman , tiffing with evident content anold , black lay pipe. Ula hardy , sunburnt face was vldenee enough that ho had known the term and sunshine of the sea for many ears. The general aristocratic indlffrr- nco of his bearing attracted the atton- ion of a stranger who was drolling own the wharf. "An Interesting old ar , " was the natural mental comment , 'hon , espying a tavago lacking knlfo in he sailor's leather bolt , the stringer bo- bought him , "That weapon may have a hrllllng history j I'll auk a question or wo about It. " So , In a frue-and-eaay way , the stranger approached tha seaman rlth : "That's a rough weapon you have horo. I presume It could toll quite a tory. " "Ha , ha story ? Yes. That knife ha itood by mo for almost nineteen years. It's a good one , too a mighty good one. " "Have you over been aboard a ship in time of mutiny f "Yea ; many times a dozen , I should say. That's whan this old knife hai done its best work. I've used it to oul with when I've been sent up amongst the rlggin' , and I've whittled with it or deck , but I've used it , too , ta slash som < moan fellers' throat with , when it wai necessary. "So you've bad to kill men with It have you ? " "Yes , Iliavej I'll ' toll you a tlmo Twant moro'n eight years ago. 'Twa when I signed to sail from San Jj'ranclsci to Australia. Well , wo'd been out o 'Frlsoo 'bout two days when wo fount wo'd got a mighty mean fire mate terrible crcaa grained. I an ; thing went wrong he'd nl'sy have to cuss somebody. Now w had a real generous-hearted old cook I that vessel. Ho was a jewel. Wd 'bout two days out , mate got to using old Andrew that was the cook's name shameful. All hands of us rowed it ho didn't ' atop wo'd pound htm. 'Twas a shame and wa told him so. That made him mad , and hard words wont back and forth , and finally wo got to fightln' . 'Bout all the crow got their knives out , and all at once mate pulled a revolver and shot two of us. 1 thought he's goln' to level us all down , BO I took this knlfo , this very ono yon see , and qnlckor'n I can toll It for 1'fl good deal spryer them days than I am now I got hold of him and out his throat open from oar to oar. That was the last of him. That's ono of the stories this knife can tell. " The knlfo which accomplished this bloody deed waa originally much like a common butcher knlfo , with a broad blade and a wooden handle. Grinding and hard use had reduced the width of the blade considerably , but its wolUtem- pored edge was almost aa sharp as a razor's. "Do all the sailors use this sort of a knlfo ? " was aakod. "No ; this Is the most common , though. Some , specially foreigners , use a little slim blade that cuts both ways , like a stiletto , but these narrow blades are not so handy when you'ro workin on the rlggin' , though. " "Do all sailors carry knives ? " "No ; only thorn that go on long voya ges. Them that jest go outsldo fiahln' ' haint no need for 'cm. They do all the rig fixin * when they're in port. " AN IDYIj OF JCIIB SWUNG. Two Months with but a Single Taste , Two Breaths That Sinollod As Ono , ritteburg Chronicle Telegraph , "Kiss me , " the whispered softly , as the zophyra swept through her hair and tingled her chooklet wltha rosy carmine "kiss me. " Ho looked at her for ono brief moment with his great , dreamy eyes , and then , while the tears droppad unbidden on his cheek , chewed his emaciated mustachclot , and murmured , brokenly : 'Forgive mo , my darling , but I must not indeed , I must not , ! " "Must not ! " she aatd , while Iho blush es sped back from her rosy cheeks and left the rouge standing out In plain and dreadful outline under her golden sun- shino. "Must not ! " and her volco grow husky with a woo she could not speak. "I would If I could , but If I couldn't how could " And then ho paused. It was too terrible. "Toll me , " she orlod , while she clinch ed her tiny lists In agony an I gazed Into the dreamy eyes with dread. "Tell me , I beseech ytu tell mo , why you have changed toward me ? " "Ah , " he said , and the tears from her liquid eyes foil softly on his doublet , "I daro'not kiss th o becanso " and then ho paused again. "Go on. " "Because I have been eating" "Oh , heavens 1 what ? " "Garhllc. " And then over her face came a seraphic smile , and while ho drew her to his heart she whispered : "I have been onions eating Spring my self. " He did not faint. For her sake ho will live. Southern Iron in Northern Markets , The Pennsylvania iron men are still trying to maintain prices and convince themselves that they are in no danger from southern competition. They show the statistics of production , In which it .pponrs that the south only makes ono- welfth of the iron that Is made In this ountry , and that the amount shipped orth each month Is yet comparatively mall. They attribute the effect that a ow thousand tons of southern Iron has ad on the eastern markets more to sur- irlso and nervousness among holders han to the showing that iron can be hipped from the south and sold below ho prices of that product in the north. The assertion it made that there is ab- olntely no danger of Southern Iron tak- ng any considerable place In the market 'or a great many years , and the probabll- ' .y . is that the Pennsylvania producers lave already organized In order to buy p all the Iron that is put on sale in com- etitlon with that of their own produc- "on. This last move cannot do them any _ ormanent good. It tends to build up the very competitors they wish to dls- ourago. It is probably true , however , ; hat nearly all the Southern Iron now _ olng North Is being delivered to consu mers under contracts which have yet a lonslderable length of tlmo to run , and t will have Its effect in dopreeeiog prices iy lessoning the demand for Northern ron without over going into tbo open market at all. The fact that the production of Iron is urely and steadily increasing in the "outh , while it la steadily decreasing in ho North , Is ono that cannot be sup- jressed. The Pennsylvania iron men may whistle to keep their courage up , " at they must face the fact that they can not ignore the Southern iron men , when * n the near future will bo their great com- otltora for the Iron trade. Cattle Statistics. Ohio has 1,017,000 head of cattle , mak ing 24,8 head to the square mile. Iowa as 35.0 to the mile , Illinois 26 , Now York 18 , and Texas 15 9. For the Unl- ed States at large this la 8 head for each 340 acres. Germany has 32 per square mile , Great Britain 54. In the United States there are throe head of cattle for ach four inhabitants , while in Europe here ia only ono animal for each six per- ons. This tells the story bettor than a whole volamo why Eutopo Impoits to much of our meats and why In the f aturo iho will continue to do so. In this conn- ry the Increase of lira stock , notably on ho plains , Is much faster than the In- ireaao of population , while in Europe during the last twenty years the reverse * s found to be true. Viewed in this ight , It will ba a long time before the market will bo overstocked with Troll- matured beef. "Western Formers From Abroad. Now York Journal.

MUSICIANS ON SHE WAUPATH. A Test Cn o Under the Foreign Con tract linbor Act. New York JonrnM. On February 20 last congress passed an act to prohibit the Importation and immigration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor In the United States. For viola tion of this act the party offending la llablo to pay a fine of $1,000. , A complaint against the North Gorman Lloyds Steamship company , filed In supreme premo court before Judge Lawrence , sots forth that William Btann , of Philadel phia , baa employed a foreign band cf forty pieces , with Fredoilo Wagner aa loader ; that they are aliens and non-rosidonls of the United States , and are residents of Germany ; that under and by an act of the United States entitled "An act to prohibit the importation and migration of foreigners and aliens ondpr contract or agreement to perform labor In the United States , Its territories and the District of Colum bia , It waa enacted and provided among other things aa follows : That from and after the piusnga of this act It shall bo unlawful for any person , com pany , partnorehip or corporation , in any man ner whatsoever , to prepay the transportation , or In any way assist or encourage the Importa tion or migration of ony alien or Mima , any foreigner or foreigner ! into the United States , its territories , or the district of Columbia , under contract or agreement , parole or special , express or implied , made previous to the Importation or migration of such alien or aliens , foreigner or foreigners , to perform la bor or Borvico of any kind in the United States , Its territories or the District of Co lumbia.

Reminiscence of Hoop Skirts and Bow Moan They Acted. tack's Sun. Who that was on earth twenty-five 'oars ' ago does not remember the firat mop tklrt craze ? Hoops came Into fash- on suddenly and all women , whatever loir condition , adopted the fashion at race. There were few regularly manu- actnrod hoop skirts at first and only those who were very tony had elaborate hoops , > ut as hoops wore the fashion everybody ad to have something that would make 10 dress stick ont. Merchants sold wire nd rattan , and whalebone , and strips of > raas and ladies made them Into skirts nd somu of them were too ridiculous for nything. A lady would get her hoops made and find that the skirt of her dress as so small that she would have to use a 100 horn to get tbo skirt over the hoops , r grease tbo hoops , and tbon the dress raa so tight over the hoops that every loop showed as plainly as though it had eon on tha outside. Some queer scenes era witnessed when hoops first came In. iidlca were not accustomed to walking n a barrel and the hoops would act aw- nlly contrary and show themselves on 10 slightest provocation. Modest ladiea ere frequently made to blush by some ct of the hoops , which scorned to bo en- owed with as much cnsaedness as a mule. The wearer of a hoop could never e entirely certain.what an hoar would ring forth. The hoop was liable to go long all right , and appear to understand ts business , and to have decided to be ecent , and when the wearer attempted o go Into a door , the hoop weald got oa strike and [ the lady couldn't- drive it ith a club. Men were constantly laugh- ng at some eccentricity they discovered n the hoops. Train conductors enjoyed constant picnic In helping stranded emaloa who got cast In trying to enter a ar or car seat. Ladies who oould not fford to buy the expensive brass hoops would utilize the hoops of barrels , and many a lady has so Ingeniously pressed a ' arrol hoop Into the service aa to pass for loader of fashion , until some , day oho at- emptcd to ait down In a pew at church when the hoop would flap up and strike icr on the nose two or three times , and eave her In a situation so uncomfortable a to bring tears to her eyes , It is a mean loop that will strike a lady , and a meaner hoop that will slriko her on the nose , and a confounded a'ght ' moaner hcop hat will repeat the blow two or throe imos , but there are ladies living to-day with scars on their noses made from theie loops. Schoolgirls would wear barrel loops , and it was an impossibility to keep hem anywhere except where they ought not to be , and there are men living to-day who were boys twenty-five yours ago who ould relate a good deal they ought note o about the way the girls were made ashamed of tno fashions. But notwlth landing all this , they say hoops are com ng Into style again , Well lot them oomo. n the language of the lamented Patrick lenry , "Wo repeat It , air , let them come" and bo darned to 'em. PIGMY FEEC IN SATIN SMITEUS. FUtsburgora Surprised by a Pretty Chinese Linrty with Three- Inch Feof , Special to the Horning Call , PITTSDDKG , May 10. Three natives o Dhlna were at the Union depot to-day bound direct from China to Washington and from their elegant costumes ant their luxurious inodo of travelling evidently dently belonged to the nobility.

Her feet were probably the smallest of any grown per son who ever passed through tbo city. They were but three inches long and were cased in a dainty pair of white int'n sleepers , embroidered with gold lace. So small were her feet that she coulc scarcely walk into the restaurant.
