THE UNDERSTUDY.
SUBACTORS WHO MUST BE READY TO TAKE PRINCIPALS' PLACES.
Delays and Uncertainties They Find It Getting to the Front—They May Go Through an Entire Season With No Chance to Show Their Powers.
After two years of patient waiting and study a young actress, who was an understudy in one of the principal stock companies in town, gave up her position the other day because during all that time she never got an opportunity to display her talents before the public. She was on the salary list of the company, and as wages are paid 52 weeks in the year by that particular organization it seemed rather like quitting a good thing, but it was not a question of finance with her. She is an actress of recognized ability, and understudying was not particularly suited to her taste. She had part after part in new plays and reproductions, but the principal somehow or other managed to get through without being ill, or never suffered any mishap, so it seemed as if the actress was destined to become a permanent understudy. This instance is only one of numberless similar experiences showing the trials and tribulations of understudies.
All the big stock companies are well supplied in the matter of understudies, and while they are required to keep a certain number of professionals on hand they have innumerable applications from amateur aspirants for histrionic honors, who are only too willing to serve as understudies on the chance that some accident will take them to the front. Most of these come from the different schools for the training of actors. The understudies receive their parts almost at the same time they are delivered to the principals. They are rehearsed regularly with the company and are presumed to be as well prepared for the first night of a play as the principals.
Manager Charles Frohman's company is probably one of the best equipped organizations in the country in the way of understudies. Eight of these are employed as regular members of the company the year round, and while they are probably not seen more than once or twice during a season they are always ready for any emergency that may arise. Augustin Daly's and A. M. Palmer's companies are also well supplied with understudies, and both have long lists of amateurs ready to go on at a moment's notice in case of sickness or other necessity.
Every big traveling organization generally carries two understudies while on the road. Some companies dispense with their services, however, by requiring the members of the company to make them well dressed, wears a sun hat carriage a cane and talks in a nervous, jerky manner. He invariably opens up with 'What's the rate to Boston?' I tell him, and his eyes light up as he waddles out with always the same observation. 'Well, by gum, that's cheap! cheap!' If the old man would tell his story, it might have a tinge of pity in it. Perhaps he has a son or daughter in the Hub City whom it has been his cherished hope to see for all these years.
"The biggest out and out nuisance we have to deal with are persons who come here with no other intention than to collect all the railroad literature they can. They have no notion of going away, but they grab everything in sight in the way of time tables and other information bearing on touriste' points in the north, east, south and west. They greedily gather pamphlets, circulars and booklets treating on climate and resources. I don't know what these collectors do with the stuff they get here, but some of them must have a prize assortment.
"Then the man who travels from one end of the country to the other is the person who invariably pushes into the office and in a brusk manner asks for a time table of the line he is about to take. It is given him, of course, and without so much as glancing at the schedule it is stuffed into his pocket, and his next question is, 'When does my first train leave? It never seems to occur to him to look on the time table. So it goes. Sometimes people ask me questions until I'm afraid the buttons will drop off my coat, but after all we manage to get along with our patrons remarkably well."—Pittsburg Post.
AGONY.
The music ceased, the curtain rose, I did not heed the play. But gazed upon her lovely face—She sat two seats away. Her cheeks like tinted apple bloom, Her teeth like gleaming pearls, Her eyes as blue as summer skies, A wealth of golden curls.
And as I gazed upon her face There came a look of pain. Like cloudy shadow over the land It passed, then came again. I saw the teardrops in her eyes, The rose tint fade away. And that fair cheek grow deathly pale In speechless agony.
She turned and touched her escort's arm Then slowly went away. My heart beat fast with sympathy. I did not heed the play. So soon returned and took his seat. I gazed in great surprise. He read the question I would ask Flash from my eager eyes.
And as the music died away His lips this answer bore: "My sister's feet are number five. Her shoes are number four."

The Moon as We See It.
Did you ever stop to consider the fact that the inhabitants of this earth have never seen but one side of the moon, and to inquire the reasons why such is the case? The explanation is this: The moon makes one revolution on her axis in the same period of time that she takes up in revolving once around the earth, thus the same geographical region of the lunar surface is always toward us. As one explanation usually calls for another, it may not be out of place to mention the fact that the reasons the two motions of the moon above referred to so nearly coincide are these:
The moon is not a true globe, but is very elliptical in form. It did not in all probabilities originally start on its axial rotation with precisely the same velocity with which it moved around the earth, but the very best astronomers say that the two motions were not far apart in the start. Assuming that the moon was semi-liquid or at least soft in those remote days, the earth's attraction caused the lunar surface to elongate, and in the untold ages which followed its axial rotation, owing to the attractive influence of both the earth and the sun, was made to correspond with its orbital movement around the earth.—St. Louis Republic.
Old Time Banking Methods.
While discussing the matter of the troubles and trials of banking business of today President James Espy of the Ohio Valley National bank said to a group of friends: "I tell you that we do not know anything about the peculiaries of the banking business. I have heard officials of the bank when I was beginning in the business rehearse the experiences in early banking in Virginia. As is well known, the residents of that state were not much given to business tactics. Whenever they had occasion to issue a note, and it was quite frequent, the bank officials had to drive around to various farms, or to the place where the maker lived, and it was quite difficult to get them to sign the original, but much more so a renewal. Experts got so they could tell whether the note was renewed in the house or in the field, as they could tell whether it was written on the pommel of a saddle or at a regular desk."—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Why He Didn't Shoot.
A man with a wife who has her own ways about doing things catches her now and then.
"My dear," he said the other morning as he was dressing, "I think you were right when you told me last night that there were burglars in the house."
"Why?" she asked nervously.
Because all the money that was in my pockets when I went to bed is gone."
"Well," she said, with an I-told-you no clue had been abandoned and got
Every big traveling organization generally carries two understudies while on the road. Some companies dispense with their services, however, by requiring the members of the company to make themselves proficient in two or more parts. Thus if the first comedian should suddenly be incapacitated the second comedian jumps in, and so on all through the cast. The understudies who travel regularly with the company are usually a man and a woman. The former understudies all the actors, while the latter is perfect in all the feminine roles. Their salaries and expenses are on a par with those of the principals.
Although many of the stars now conspicuous in the theatrical firmament began their dramatic career as understudies, it is not often nowadays that the stars themselves are understudied. It is generally assumed by the managers that the star is the attraction for the public, and to substitute somebody else is to practice a deception which is injurious to the show. In some instances, however, where the star has had to be replaced by an understudy, the latter has made even a better hit than the star.
Billy Crane was an understudy in the beginning, and Manager Joe Brooks tells an amusing anecdote of the actor's first experience as an understudy. He served in that capacity with a company that produced "The Daughter of the Regiment" in this city some years ago. Among the parts which Crane had to commit to memory was that of the notary. It was a particularly hard part because the notary had to begin by declaiming a long legal notice. Crane got the part pat, but in order that there should be no possibility of his making a break he copied the process into a book which the notary was supposed to carry. The notary wore a robe that trailed on the floor. In making his entrance Crane's foot became tangled up in the robe and he pitched headforemost on the stage. The book with the prompt lines flew across the stage. Crane pulled himself together in a moment, and without losing his presence of mind began firing the process off. He went through without a break, and his original entrance made a hit with the audience.
One of the most notable instances of understudying was that furnished while Denman Thompson was in the midst of his long run with "The Old Homestead" at the Academy of Music. Walter Gale, whose characterization of Happy Jack, the tramp, was supposed to be immitable, was ill, and at the eleventh hour the manager heard of the trouble. The part was a most important one in the cast, and nobody could be found to take it among the members of the company. Finally a young Irishman named James Fitzgerald, who was acting as dresser to Thompson, astonished that actor by declaring that he would take the part. It seems that he was understudying Gale organizations in the country in the way of understudies. Eight of these are employed as regular members of the company the year round, and while they are probably not seen more than once or twice during a season they are always ready for any emergency that may arise. Augustin Daly's and A. M. Palmer's companies are also well supplied with understudies, and both have long lists of amateurs ready to go on at a moment's notice in case of sickness or other necessity.

Young Fitzgerald made a hit and played Happy Jack many times, but his career was brought to an untimely close by an attack of pneumonia, to which he succumbed.

TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.
He Can Endure All but the Questions of People Who Never Travel.
A prominent Pittsburg passenger agent, in a conversation with a reporter of that city, gave a few interesting facts relative to the everyday experience of the average city passenger man, which those not directly connected with the business know nothing about. He said:
"It is a singular fact the number of people who visit our office daily and the curious questions they ask with regard to railroad rates, etc., when very often they have no notion whatever of leaving the city and as a matter of fact have not traveled any worth mentioning. For six years there has been a very singular character who has made an annual visit to this office. I have no idea from whence he cometh or whither he goeth, but he always asks the selfsame questions and goes away apparently satisfied with the information he has received. I always expect him in the springtime, generally about the 1st of April, when the sun's rays grow warmer."
Then my quaint old friend comes to see me. I should judge him to be at least 80 years of age. He is stooped and feeble, with hair as white as snow, but cocktail and a cigar."
Well, you are a fool.
No, I ain't such a fool, after all," responded Gus, "for you see I shave myself."
Oh, that's a different thing. You are a kind of a double barreled fool."—Texas Siftings.
Felling Trees by Electricity.
Trees are felled by electricity in the great forests of Galicia. For cutting comparatively soft woods the tool is in the form of an auger, which is mounted on a carriage, and is moved to and fro and revolved at the same time by a small electric motor. As the cut deepens, wedges are inserted to prevent the riff from closing, and when the tree is nearly cut through an ax or handsaw is used to finish the work. In this way trees are felled very rapidly and with but little labor.—London Tit-Bits.
Growth of the English Language.
In the year 1794 the habitual users of the English language did not number over 15,000,000; in 1892, 105,000,000. If these figures are correct (and they are from a recognized authority), by the end of the present century not less than 120,000,000 people will use the language in their everyday conversation. If the same ratio of increase holds good, English will be spoken by at least 840,000,000 of people in the year 2000.—St. Louis Republic.
One Child's Vocabulary.
The statement that a child 54 years of age would not have more than 150 words in its vocabulary that it was able to use understandingly led a careful mother to note for a month the number of words used by her child. All the parts of speech used were recorded, with the result that in this case the child appeared to have a vocabulary of 1,528 words.—New York Post.

The most inhuman outrages, outrages which would disgrace the savage man perpetrates upon his own system by swallowing drastic purgatives which convulse the stomach, agonize his intestines and weaken his system.

CIRCULATING ART.
Why Should Pictures Not Be Fused?
Around Just Like Books Are?
The other day I heard an excellent notion propounded with regard to works of art. It was the establishment of a circulating picture gallery, which should occupy two same relation with regard to paintings as Media does in respect of books. Of course the subscription would be higher, as the number of subscribers would be limited. But the pictures would be changed every month, so that a man need never be bored by the eternal sameness of the walls.
A story is told of a man who dined opposite to a fine work by Sir Joshua Reynolds for so many years that it at last had to be moved, for it irritated him to such an extent that he threatened to hurt a decanter of port wine at it. The new society would effectually obviate any such annoyance. All the works would be for sale, so any subscriber taking a fancy to a particular picture might obtain the price from the secretary and on payment thereof could become its possessor.
The advantage of this system, especially in the present depressed state of the fine art market, is obvious, and it would also be a benefit to the buyers, because they would discover after the trial of a month whether they really liked a picture or not.
The terms of the subscription would of course be in proportion to the style of pictures supplied. Of course if you expected to have works by Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney and Sir John Everett Millais the payment would be very much more costly than if you only required a series of prints. But the subscriptions should be so regulated that it would bring the circulating picture gallery within the reach of all.—London Graphic.
KISSING IN COURT.
Polish Women Show Their Gratitude to Lawyer, Judge and Jury.
Men running from women wishing to kiss them agitated the county court at Long Island City the other day. Judge Garretson was on the bench. A jury had just announced a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of Anna Wonzowlaska, a pretty Polish girl 16 years old, charged with a criminal offense.
The verdict caused a commotion among a number of Polish women in the rear of the courtroom. They rushed into the open space reserved for lawyers and fell upon Counsel Merrill, who defended the girl, and assailed him with fervent kisses. Each kiss was loud, and the counselor became red in the face.
The jurymen smiled, but their turn was coming. Before they realized what was going to happen, the woman made an assault on the jury box and grabbed

Garretson was on the bench. A jury had just announced a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of Anna Wonzowlaska, a pretty Polish girl 16 years old, charged with a criminal offense.
The verdict caused a commotion among a number of Polish women in the rear of the courtroom. They rushed into the open space reserved for lawyers and fell upon Counselor Merrill, who defended the girl, and assailed him with fervent kisses. Each kiss was loud, and the counselor became red in the face.
The jurymen smiled, but their turn was coming. Before they realized what was going to happen, the women made an assault upon the jury box and grabbed the members of the jury around their necks and imprinted kisses on their cheeks and hands. The men struggled, but the chairs prevented their escape until all but the foreman had received an affectionate embrace. Foreman Armstrong ran for the door. It was a short, sharp race, but the foreman won.
Judge Garretson frowned from the bench. He was too surprised to act until it was nearly all over. He was recovering his compose when the women started for him. The judge was saved by the interference of the court officer, who succeeded in getting the women to leave the courtroom. The earnestness of the women had such an effect on the spectators present that they made up a purse of $20 for the girl. She left the court light of heart—New York Times.
A PHYSIOLOGICAL CURIOSITY.
Recovery of a Man Whose Lungs Were Exposed by a Wood Saw.
Gus Carlson, who was accidentally thrown against a steam wood saw some four months ago and a gash cut across his breastbone and ribs, exposing his lungs and other internal mechanism, has nearly recovered and will soon be able to go out. The doctors were much interested in his case, or rather in viewing what was inside the case, as it is very seldom they get a chance to watch the expansion and contraction of a set of lungs.
The most remarkable thing about it was to see how gradually the lungs were filled and how suddenly they collapsed when the breath expired. The doctors would have liked to leave a peephole open in Carlson's thorax, but were afraid he might contract pneumonia through it—Portland Oregonian.
A British Cabinet Secret.
A London correspondent says that the renewed agitation on the subject of the navy has led to the disclosure of another cabinet secret. It is now known that Gladstone stood absolutely alone among his ministers in opposing the large increase in the naval expenditure. He was unyielding to the end, and this was one of his principal reasons for his decision to resign, a decision which he did not communicate to any one of his official advisers, and which they first learned through the Pall Mall Gazette's premaure publication.
White Girls' Marriages With Indians.

PETROLEUM IN ENGLAND.
The discovery of petroleum oil in Somerset excites great interest. Experts who have descended the well at Ashwick Court are confident that a large deposit of crude petroleum exists, and farther boreings are to be made to test the succession of the oil bearing strata. This well is on the north side of the Mendip hills, and other indications of oil have been found along the same line—Philadelphia Press.
