Although the fashion jilates de net

reforms slowly working, nnd ene Is In
the diminution of the absurd dimensions
of the bustle, and the ether is in the
hertcning of the waists of dresses te a
store natural proportion. The rage for
long, slim waists has had Its day, and the
pretty short walsted dlroctelro styles are
being worn very much, particularly for
young ladies' home costumes. The waist
is short and loose, and the skirt hangs in
long, loose folds, and en a graceful figure
nothing could be mera attractlve; but te
leek well in them the wearer should be
low of movement.
Many young ladles are maklug what

ad where it ended the skirt fell under en

with every step fche took this wiggled te

been perfect.
The range of materials worn in mid

Washingten1, July C I chatted, last
night with ene of the leading theatrical
managers of the United States. The
subject of actors' salaries came tip, and
the manager told me thpy are en the In
crease. "All classes of persons connected
with the Mage," Bald he, "are getting
higher salaries new than they have ever
had before, and I think that many of our
actors nre paid tee much. We have te
pay (200 a week for any kind of a leading
man, and a geed second Is worth $100 a
week. If actors would eave their money
they would make as a rule mero than the
managers, and thcre Is no reason why
Kcat actors should net amass fortunes.
ok nt l'attl with (3,000 a nlghtl Note
the extravagances of Sarah Bernhardt, and
j en can see wlicre the money gees tel
Thcre is tee much competition In man
agement, and it is this competition that
raises the price of salaries. I have had
actors at (J200 a wrk who were dear at
Ahat, and who wcre paid (500 a week by
another mailefter, anu I have had actresses
whom i"pald f 160 a week taken from me
by Other managers, who would offer thorn
$800."
"Are the managers bb a rule making
money?"
"Some are, but net many. I dent
think mere than one-third of the manage
ments have ceme out ahead during the
past year, and if these have made an av
erage of ever (20,000 nplece they have
done well. As for me I will ceme out be
hind, and I have n very fair troupe."
"What women of thu stage get the best
salaries!1"
"The great slngers, of course, though n
great actor of an v kind Is well paid. I
Judge thet Bcalchl gets at least $5,000
n. month, Campanlnl $8,000, and you knew
that l'attl receives (5,000 a night by con
tract. 1Kik ut tlie tmiuense Hums .taken
In by young Jeseph Hedman. But an
actor or actress Is worth just what she or
he will bring. If she will bring $7,000 or
$9,000 a night she Is alwayH worth (3,000,
and If she Is only the side light te a big
play she may net be worth (50 a week.
The average theatrical fialariea run,
I judge, from (U0 te (73 n week,
ltose Ceghlau used te get (830
n week. Miss Jewett had for a time
(300 a week and L'mina Abbett started
out with (1,000 a jear, and new gets
(100 a night for n ceuceit. Oer
bter gets $1,200 n night, Seuihrlch can

"The high kickers are, of course, "paid
well, hut the ordinary ballet wall llower
gctB barely enough te HUppert herself.
The wages ratige all the way from (0 a
week upward aud a geed utility woman
commands about (10 a week. As te the
ballet, I think the days of great dancers
have past. Yeu should have seen Fanny
Ellslcrwhen she made the tour of this
country. Khe set the pcople wild with
bur dancing, and It was se with Tagllenl
in Europe Jeunle Durand died In Den
ver about four years age, and she was ene
of the first ballet dancers of this country;
shewas u great favorite in the mining
towns of the west, uud she made a great
deal of money. Tagllenl get (0,000 a
jear as n salary, but she was net u money
maker pnd hIie letlrcd from the stage
when she was Btlll In her prime."
"De you think stage lile Is u healthful
occupation?"
"It depends en hew It Is used," was the
jeply; "many of the actors of the past
have lived te n. geed old nge. Macready
died at 80, and Charles Kcmblo.the futhcr
of Fanny and Reger, lived te the age of
711. Jehu Brougham died at 70, and Char
lotto Cushinan had passed her 70th year
when bIie died. Klttle Cllve reached
the age of 71, aud Fanny Ellslcr, the
noted dancer, llvodteho 74. Harah Sid Sid
dens died nt 70, and the Wullacks tire of
n long lived loco. Henry Wallack, ene of
Ijester's uncles, lived te be 78, Ids father
was 7U years old when he died, and his
grandmother died at 00. Themas King,
the erlglual SlrVeter Tcazle, lived te be
71, and the noted Cel ley Clbbcr lived te
be 87. Theru Is no reason why an actor
should net live as lng us the uvcrage
mau, provided he dees net drink or uu uu
guge lit ether dls&lpatlen. It is truehls
life is an exciting ene, hut he has his
hummer vacation, und he has as much
tline te test as has the ordinal y man, and
it Is the Bame with actresses."

I met Professer N. E. Dawsen here yes
terday. He Is the man who acted as
uraius private secretary uuiiug tlie
writing of his book, aud it wns te him
that Oen. 1egau confided many of his
papers. Mr Dawsen has the confidence
of mero public men, perhaps, thau any
ether man lu the United State3. A quiet,
Blender man of about 40 years of itge, he
lias for j ears been eeunected with the
statesmen of the country lu a confidential
capacity. He has acted as private BcCro BcCre
tury te mero men than any ether stenog
rapher lu Wushlugten, and he has a col
lection of historical notes which nip sur
passed only by theso of Bancroft. He Is
possessed of icmarkable literary ability,
and his scrupulous integrity has glveu
him access te matter which ether writers
could net obtain. He has been gathering
all the matcrlul he could find about public
men for the past decade or se. He gets a
full biographical sketch of each man of
nete he meets, asking the man te furnish
it te him, ami he uhe has nn iutcriew
with each public man about such ether
fcrsens of nete and about such periods as
ie has beeu acquainted with, lki gathers
this material lu personal Interviews as n
rule, uud takes down in short hand the
data from the men thetnselves. In doing
be, he premises net te maku publli) the lu lu lu
formatleu given until the jiersen giving
buch information authorizes it Mr. Daw Daw
beu'H tcpiitatlen Is hucIi that he gets all
he asks for uud he has new Hacked awav
enough shorthand notes te make teveral
dictionaries He files and Indexes all his
matter nnd he proposes In the future te
tise It for historical nnd biographical pur
poses. He had Interviews with Mr.
Ceukllug bofeio he died, and he has
packed away stories by nearly every lead
lug senator lu Washington. Mrs Graut
has dictated te Mm her lemembrauces,
and he says the Grant papers which are
still unpublished ure olumlueus aud
aluable.
The Immense amount of money already
received for Grant's book Is bound te
bring a number of valuahle papers te the
front. The money lu Hterature Is causing
leading men te leek carefully ever their
papers, te see whether they have net the
material for a book. It was Grant's sue
cess that started Igau aud Sheridan te
work, aud I knew- of a score of statesmen
who are planning volumes. 1 kuew of
many who work for magazines, aud I
knew of an Itibtauee of oue senator who
was asked what amount he would charge
for a short article en the tariff, lu reply
he said he could net de it for less thau
(500, or about ten ceuts a word I knew
t r ene senator who get (200 for a sheit
urtlcle for Thu Forum, uud the newspaper
men of Washington hae guue Inte the
magazine field aud are making money out
of It. Gcerge Kenuau has made a geed
imputation und a ulce pet of money out of
the Husilau articles, which are being pub
lished In The Century. I have alieady
told you about the goeso that lays thu
golden eggs for Jehu Hay and Jehn G.
Nicolay, aud I knew of another magazlnlst
who Is also a newspaper man who has
thlrty-three articles lu the hands of maga
zine editors, for which he get from (100
te (300 apiece The leading newspaper
syndicates will new pay from (10 te (23
u thousand words for geed matter, and
the literary demand seems greater and
greater every day,
-I.hay&.beea-cllcctlmr for. soxnatlme
items in regard te the amount orrnefiey
made by nutbers. It is very fascinating
work, and It Is Interesting te knew that
Geerge Eliet received (50,000 for "Ho "He "Ho
meln;" that Scott get ever (3,600 for
" Waverley" and ( 10,000 for "Woodstock.",
Wllkle Cellins' "Armadale" brought (23,
000, and peer Goldsmith only get $300 for!
his "Vicar of Wakefield." "Raselas';
brought Samuel Jelins6n only 500, and
Dickens ir1e about (00.000 a year during
his latter days at his writings. The fori feri fori
une recclveu from Grant's book, which
was a sort of a history, leeks very largd
beslde the (50,000 which Gibben get for
his "Dccllne and Fall of the Reman Em
pire," and Scott was paid (00,000 for n
"Life of Napeleon" which no ene new
ever hears of. Will Carlcten Is said te
get (123 for a short poem, and Bret Itarte
had, you knew, a contract for (10,000 a
Jear for whatever he might write, and
this was shortly before he went abroad as
consul. Byren iccclved (21,000 fe
"Chllde Hareld," end he get (15,000 for
"Den Juan." Victer Huge made a fort
une out of Ids writings, nnd W. D.
Howells must certainly get between (10,
000 and (15,000 from Harper Brether.
He receives, I am told, (2,000 nnd up
wards for n short story, aud bU books
ought te bring him lu a great deal of
money.
As te the great American writers of the
past, Washington Irving svbb the best
paid author of bis day, though he made'
nothing like the amount of money that
hlmllar talent would bring in today.
Fanny Fern received high prices for her
works, nnd Harriet Bccchcr Stewo cleared
(10,000 en "Unde Tem's Cabin." Still,
when oho wrete It she would have been
Bat la fled w 1th a silk dress In payment for
It. The hook btlll soils, but whether she
receives a royalty or net I de net knew.
Bayard Tayler made n pet of money out
of Ids books of travel, but lie did net lcave
much when he died. Mark Twain makes
perhaps as much ns any writer of today.
He has business faculty allied te remark
able literary ability of the kind the mar
ket demands, and everything he touches
seems te turn Inte geld. He has written
seme beautiful things, ns well as seme
icmarkably funny ones, and It is hard te
rcallze that the same pen which wrete
"loueccuts Abroad" penned "The Prlnce
and the Pauper." Of all American
writers, I should judge that Mark Twain
w as the most read abroad. Yeu will find
his books in every country where the
English language Is spoken, aud many of
them have beeu translated.
Mailc Twain's humor gave him his
start, and humor Is ene of the best pay
lug commodities In the literary market.
Petroleum V. Nasby left a fertune of a
million dollars. Jesh Billings died rich,
nnd Bill Nye Is making lets of raoney out
of his lectures and his books, as well as
receiving a royal balary from The New
Yerk World. One of the greatest buc
cesses of today In bound books has been
Lew Wallace's "Hen Ilur," and it will be
antenlshlng te many of the highly phlle-.
Bephlc readers of this letter te knew that
the best paid novelist m the United States
perhaps Is E. 1. Iteo. Roe's novels sell
in a half dozen different editions and they
go ovcrywhero. The editions are run out
uy tne iiuuurcu tneusanu copies, ana
many of his stories having run through
n big edition lu cloth have had equal suc
cesses In paper covers.
As everybody knows by lids tlme Rebert
Imis Stovcnsen's story, new being pub
lished lu the newspapers, was sold te
them for (10,000, and this provides for
the newspaper tise of the story alene.
Mr. Stevenson will make n greater
amount than this out of Us sale in book
form after it has been completed. Anna
Catharlne Green, who, by the way, writes
about the best detective stories of any
American writer today, thinks (2,500 Is a
pretty geed price for n serial, aud she has,
1 understand, written ene which will
bhertly be published.
As te Washington journalists a num
ber of them nlse have books in hand or
In press and the standard of Washington
lltetary work nmeng iiowspaper men Is, It
becms te me, advancing. Mr. Jehn S.
Shrlver, the editor of The Heme Journal,
nt Baltimore, uud much noted for his in-j
tercstlng stories about the White Heuse
whlle he was lu Washington as the cor
respondent of The Bultlniore American,
Is writing ti novel. Perry S. Heath has a
hook of travels in press which is quite
Interesting. William E. Curtis will shortly
publish n book en Russia, 1 knew of a
man who has a book en duels ready for
publication, and thcre are numbers of the'
department peeple who are engaged in
llterury work. Spofford, the librarian, al
was has his hands full. Geerge Bancroft
picks up his work occasionally, but he
does net write ns regularly as In the past,
und Professer Jeny, who was sent by the
government te Cerea as a naturalist, is
proposing a book upon that country. Sun
let Cox Is doing no writing at present.

Origin of "(live lllm Jessy "
When two American boys are fighting

The problem with scientists Is quite

Warhixotek, July 5. 1 have before
new referred, In my blithesome and win
ning manner, te the Incipient popularity
of reef riding en Herdic coaches as one
of the society dlvertlscments of the nai
tlenal capital en summer evenlngs. Well,
when I wrete that I didn't think there
was much In it, nud thcre wasn't Just st
that very proclse tlme, but the long het
spell developed It, as the sun does th
flowers after a shower, and it became e
craze. Thcre were only five coaches with
scats en top, nnd the way Jicy wcre
crowded night after night was1tenlshI
ing, net te say painful, If j-eu happened
te be the one that wanted a scat up among
the twinkling stars. I never noticed It
particularly until Dickey and I were In.
vlted ene evcnlug te Indulge In a "Herdlc
party," with five ethers, Just half the
seating capacity of the reef. We were te
lcave the point of departure at 8:30 p. m.,
aud were thcre promptly, attired In
palm leaf fans, the most diaphanous
of garments, perspiration, nnd tha
usual ether furniture incidental "rte
the Minuner solstice, and thinking,
of course, when we were ready far the
Ilcrdlc It would be ready for us. Se we
went te catch It, and when it came it was
full en top aud empty inside. I was dls-i
turbed in my mind by this, but the
hostess said It was nil right, for we could
ride te the end of the line, about five
minutes, and then take our places en top.
Half way tbere, a let mere pcople camd
inside, and three get off the top, and with
a shrewd meve three of us climbed up te
be sure of a start. Then the Herdle rolled
en and seen turned at the end of the line,
and for a mluute I thought we had run
into a mob of riotous women or haja
caught a tired Sunday school picnic try.
Ing te get home. There wcre forty or
mero of them, all of the botter class and
most of them as geed as we have here,
and they wcre In for enjoying a ride en,
the Ilcrdlc top, and had ceme out there ttf
bosureof lt.Just as we were doing. Theyj
made a rush for the steps when the Ilerdle
stepped, and se did we insiders, but net a
living soul en top moved. They had ceme
te stay, nnd they had ceme clear out thcre
te the beundury, from I don't knew
where, te avoid taking the chances. Se
had the ethers, but they had ceme out
inside, and with less knowledge of the
rush, end after waiting un hour
or mere, they had te get Inslde'
of the stuffy coach and rlde home"
ngaln. More than half of our party
did the fame, and the three fertunate
ones en top came down at the end of their
flve-mlnute-and-back rlde, and nlmest
cried because they had te leave the cool
breezes for the het pavements. Then,
cooled with grateful ices and chcerful
seltzer lemonades, we resolved ourselves
Inte a "doorstep party," and wanted te
catch an empty coach, but at 11:30 the
prospect was no better than at 8:30, and I
really bcllove that en n het night In
Washington nn all nlghtcr would be
crowded until breakfast time.
It is great sport, but the drivers don't
like it, as they get no extra pay for driv
ing three horses and taking care of a
douhle emplcmcut of passengers, and
they are cttlng even by driving their
coaciies unuer tne trees una swiping pee
ph with the branches te the best of their
uUllity. 1 knew of several hats, inale and
femaie, that have had very damaging ex
periences. The peer drivers ought te be
allowed te have seme plcasure in life, I
lecken, and as long as they de net swipe
me off the reef I won't complain. I de
remplutn, however, about climbing up the
ladder te the reef. We can't get up unless
the men help us, and they can't help us
without being placed lit such a position
thatthcycan tell the number of our shoes,
and I don't want all the men of my ac
quaintance te knew what sized shoes I
wear.

I've been dealing with foreigners lately,
that Is, heathen foreigners, and I find
they ure human after all, especially the
women. I think women are the humanest
specimens of creation anyway. 1 presume
it is because that, as all ether creation
was made out of dust, the woman was
made out of n human rib, and naturally
retains the characteristics of her ances
try. Anyway, I tried te get a plcture of
Iho new Japanese minister and his wlfe,
aud I couldn't de it. I kept en trying,'
and each tlme was put off, until at last I
learned, us a profound secret, that the
lady wasn't geiug te have her pictures
taken until hhe had seme American
clothes te wear. That's a woman, ain't
It? As long as she was In her own coun ceun
trj uud everybody wero a certain style of
dress like her own, she was satisfied, no
matter what that style might leek like;
but as seen as she get among another let
of women in another let of clothes,
heaven Itself couldn't meve her te appear
