Mr. Jeffersen deacribea Ferrest a a hand
tome fellow, with the form et an Apelle and
strength of a Hercules i hit deep musical
velw under perfect control, and, tn pethetki
xouei Man,
rOKRXST AS MBTAMORA.
"During my long professional Ufa 1 met
bin) frequently," adds Mr. Jeffersen, "and I
should say that much of liis unhapplness for
he was a very unhappy man came from an
irritable temper,.under little control."
Frem advance sheets of this article we
quote the following an amusing illustration
et Ferrest's ungovernable temper;
"At the conclusion of the Ittchmend en
gagement," writes Mr. Jeffersen, "the com
pany journeyed te Washington, where we
were te open with Ferrest as Metamora a
character that he detested, and end that the
publle admired. Ferrest was always in a
state et intense irritation during the rehear
sal and performance of this drama. Irregu
larities that be would have overlooked under
ordinary circumstauces were new magnified
te an enormous size, se that when he denned
the buckskin shirt and stuck the hunting
knife of the American savage in his wam
pum belt he was ready te scalp any offending
actor "who dared te cress his path. The cop
per colored liqulti with whieh he stained his
cheeks might literally have been called 'war
paint.'
"At the rehearsal the peer property man,
old Jake Search, get into a dreadful state et
nervousness, and everything went wrong
The tragedian naturally held me, as stage
manager, responsible for these accidents, par
ticularly as the unlucky Jake would conceal
himself behind set pieces, or mysteriously dis
appear through traps as each mishap oc
curred. In the. midst of this .dreadful con
fusion, principally brought about by his own
ill humor, Ferrest lurued en me, saying that
be would net act that night, anil strode out
et the theatre. I hurried through the front
of the house, and hoediiig him elf in the alley
addressed him, as nearly as I can remember,
In the following werds:
" '.Mr. Ferrest, before you decide upon this
step let me state an important fact, that per
haps has net crossed your nllild.' He saw I
was in earnest, and stepped short te listen, as
1 resumed: "Mr. Ferd, the manager, is ab
sent, se I must take his responsibility te the
public en myself. The blunders en the stage
this morning hate been Unfortunate, perhaps
culpable, but you must pardon me for saying
that your excited manner and somewhat un
reasonable demands have contributed net a
little te ftnf use the company and bring about
this disorder. But be that as it may, there
Is another and still mere Important matter te
consider. Every seat in the thoatre is taken
fer te-night; the audience will crewd the
heuse in expectation et a great dramatic
-treat, te which they have been looking for
ward for seme time.
" 'If you decline te act, and be break your
contract, with the public, what course is left
ter met Why, only this: I must watt for the
vast concourse of people te assemble, and
then go before them ami explain the reason
of your non-appearance. I shall have te
make a clear statement of the cese, and say
that you have refused te net because there
were some slight discrepancies and irregulari
ties in the rehcarsal. The public are, you
knew, quite unreasonable when their diver
sion is checked, and it is likely that they will
be indignant at the disappointment, failing
te see the reason As deafly as yeii may have
done. New, consider for a moment. Under
these circumstances will it net be mere mag
nanimous in you te overlook the shortcom
ings bud go en with the rehearsal I'
"He paused for a moment and said: 'I will
net go back te the rehearsal. I am tee much
excited, and my presence en the fetage new
will only make matters werse; but it you will
see that details are attended te, I will act to
night. "I premised te de se, and we parted. I was
only tee glad te get rid et bint en thes4
terms, In his tlieii Intemperate state et mind.
t went back te the stage and dismissed the
rehearsal, cautioning the actors te de what
they could te render the night's performance
creditable. I new began te bunt up the de
llnqueut and frighteued property man, Jake
Beurch an appropriate name for a fellow
who needed se much looking after and dis
covered him hiding under a pile of ejd scenery,
'Is be goueP said Search. 'Yes,' I an
swered, 'but he will return te-night; se we
that your properties are in geed condition,
or he will be the death of yeu.1
"The night cameaud matters progressed fa
vorably until the council scene. One et the
characters here, being overcome with nerv
ousness, reversed his questions te Metvruera,
giving the wrong lines, and of course receiv
ing au absurd answer, l no audience, recog receg
nising the confusion of the dialogue, began
te Uugb, and of ceurse this made matters
worse. The act terminates with the Indian's
gieat tpuudi, 'i'leiii Uju east te the west,
from the north te the south, the loud cry of
vengeance shall be heard,' and here he hurls
bis knife Inte the center of the stage, where
It quivers a defiance as the curtain falls. In
his anger and excitement the blade failed te
tick in the stage and bounded into tbe or
chestra, the handle hitting the double bass
player en the top of his bead, which was as
Innocent et hair as a billiard ball, se as the
curtain came down the old fellow was stamp
ing about and rubbing his bald pate te the
delight of the audience.
"I realized new that the storm bad burst In
earnest, and that a total wreck would Boen
fellow. Knewing that I could net avert the
catastrophe, end having no desire te face the
tragedian's wrath, like a politic but disloyal
captain I deserted the ship and went In front
te see it go down. Byren says et a battle,
'Oh, what a sight te him who has no friend
or brother therel' te which Treutlce adds,
'and is net there himself.' The latter was
new my case I was net there myself, and I
lid net iutcnd te be, se from the secure cor
ner of an upper private box I watched the
progress of the most disastrous performance
I bad ever seen.
"As the curtain rises en the last act the tribe
of Metamora should rush through the weeds
as their leader cells them; but by tuts tuna
the braves were se frightened that they had
become demoralized, and as the foremost
rushed through the opening in the weeds bis
en bow cot cresanisa between two trues.

Frem advance sheets the following
brief extracts, containing an account of
Bome of his first impressions of the coun

The arrival at Yokohama he describes
as fellows !
"We wcre in the great bay when I
came up en deck in the early morning.
The sea was smooth like the brilliant
blank paper of the prints; a vast surface
of water reflecting the light of the sky
as if it wcre thicker nir. Fur oft streaks
of blue light, like finest washes of the
brush, determined distances. Beyond,
in a white haze, the square white sails
spotted the white horizon and floated
above it.
"The slackened beat of the engine
made a great noise in the quiet waters.
Distant high hills of foggy green marked
the new land; nearer us, junks of the
shapes you knew, in violet transparency
of shadow, and five or six war ships and
steamers, red and black, or white, look
ing barbarous and out of place, but still.,
as if they were part of us, and spread all
around us A fleet of small beats, manned
by rowers standing in robes flapping
about them, or tucked in abeve their
waists. Tlj ere

te our eyes, accustomed te nothing but
our ship nnd the enormous space, empty
of life, which had surrounded us for
days.
"The mubclcs of the boatmen steed
out tdmrply en their Binall frames. They
hed almost all at least theso Who wcre
young fine wrists nnd delicate hands,
and a handsome setting of the neck.
The feet looked bread with tees very
sminre. They wcre excitedly waiting te
help in the coaling tttid unloading! And
seen we saw them begin te work, carry
ing great leads with much geed humored
chattering. Around us played the small-.,
est beats with rowers standing up and
sculling. Then the market beat came
rushing te us, its standing rowers bend
ing and rising, their thighs rounding and
insteps sharpening, What small garments
they had fluttering like scarfs, se that
our fair missionaries turned their backs
te the eight.
"Our hotel," he continues, "is en the
quay, just At A corner -where a canal
breaks in, and where wa can eco big
walls and trees en the ether side. Our
roehls open en the water that samd
blue water spangled Willi sunshine nnd
fading into sky. There, nre men-ef-tvaf
and steamers far out; picturcsque junks
sailing past rapidly, flattened out into
mere edges of shadow nnd light against
the sea Utld the sky, Uieir great hollow
stems with the rudder far Inboard, and
sails which are open at the Beams. Net
far from us was a little sharp pointed
beat with a man fishing, his big round
hat ns important as any part of the beat.
It was already late ill the day. Euro
pean children were out with their Jap Jap
anese nurses; from time te time a phao phae phao
ten or a curricle passed with European
occupants, nnd even in this tremendous
heat ladies rede out en horseback.
"Hut the human beings are net the
novelty, net even the Japanese; what
ianbserlilngly new is the light, its white
nebs, its silvery milkiness. We have
ceme into it ns through an open deer
after fourteen gray days of the Pacific
which ended enlynt sunrise this very
morning. And we looked again at all
Uie light outside, from the dining room,
where we lunched, where the waiters
slipped about in black clothes and where
we were joined at table by a foreign
gentleman with hi gh cheek bones, yellow
face and slanting eyes, and dressed in
the latcbt European fashion with high
cellar, four in hand scarf and pointed
shoes. IIe was very courteous and man
aged what little English he used as skill
fully as he dresses.
"And he gave me a 'touch of the far
cast in the story of his Ijclng here; for he
is under a cloud, an amiable exjle whose
return te his native laud might involve
hU being boiled in oil, or ether ingenious
form of death. Fer well as lie iigured
at luncheon with us, I hear that he has
been obliged te leave because of his hav
ing poisoned tee many of his guests ene

because of hid having dispatched with
the sword theso whose digestion had re
sisted his cflerts at conciliation. How
ever this may be, his extradition is de
manded; te which he objects, and in
vokes western ideas of civilisatien, and
pretests that his excesses have been
merely jtelitlcal. i

that caprice has passed, and the antique
and classic am going te have n close race
with the oriental fashieus of the present
day for popularity.
A W&LKINCl QOWN OF llUAlDED CU3TU.
I say oriental of the present day, but
that ih the same ns it was liefore the Cru
sades, and will he as long as theso na
tions exist.
In n leading stele ) cstenlay I saw a se
called Turkiblt heuse dress, minus the
trousers. It wits made of finely embroi
dered silk tissue, full and with a sash of
the same done in geld and silver. The
fine bilk lissUe chemise had long sleeves,
and was open like them nil, V nhae, and
ever tills was Ksed en the figure a car

long, and be arranged that they could be
closed from the lop te Iwlteiu, or left
open, as the wearer debited. With this
was a mil of theso hceliess slippers, em
broidered uImj stillly in geld thread. The
dress is that Of the Ionian tireck girls'
holiday altue, but everything oriental
here U called Turkish.
Greek gowns modeled fiem statuesque
draperies en Greek bculpliire are also
seen veiy often this winter. They gen
erally nre made in white Hamad, catih
meie, eiling or cieie de chine, or, pret
tier yet, Japanese cinc, and bordered
with silver or geld castle braid laid ou in
key pattern.
The importing houses and best of the

Among the new goods for thy spring I
notice that Irish poplin is ene of the
foremost novelties. It is in gray, drab,

and it is also fecen in nil exquibite bro

EtIZAgfcTH W. GREENWOOD.
AatelaetM taei ifeeSetf flte of the f a
aea "Went rrefcf"
nUl Corretpeadence.
mt.V3r-;)ijJRnX meeting
with Elisabeth W. Green ted was
pleasant surprise. I knew that she was
a woman of unusual erudition and deep
piety, arid rtry firecwncclved idea et her
was Tcry different frdtti lite flr( slender,
radiant faced woman who, with qUlcfcf
fpft footstep, came through a curtained
doorway WW the elegantly appointed
drawing rbeni te fffeet ifM. She was
born in the handsome Broeklyn1 ho'rrie'
wliefe the aew lives, and has always
been surredtidetf with the comforts and
luxuries of life. In he? Attiring cordial
ity and bright, fascinating conversation,
one quite forgets the scholar, preacher
and fcfeMheT swd seca only the delicate,
iierfectly bred iWWlan, who puts all
with wh6m shfe comes ill contact en the
test possible terms with themselves.
In speaking of the preparatory years
of her life, Miss Greenwood said: "I
first went te school, as most young fico fice fico
ple de, as a matter of course, but later I
Vcut for a love of learning." Although
her father's position as ajpremlnent law
yer" and a wealthy, schfiftfrly gentleman
gave her abundant entrce te the WeMd
of society, fashlonable life, as an end of
existence, had no charm for her.
When she had graduated from the cel
ebrated Droeklyn UelglitS seminary of
Dr. Charles E. West, she took n f'dsl
graduate course. This was in 1869, when
she was net yet twenty years of age.
he tlicil became a teacher of the higher
branches in her Alma Mnter, giving
weekly lectures te the junior and senior
classes.
Being possessed of a deeply spiritual
ridtttre, she was especially fend of ethics,
metaphysics and philosophy, and with
no particular aim, but only "forlevoof
it," she took a thorough course iti the
olegy, alie says,
with the gentle
directness which
is ene ether chief
charms: "I never
sought my wetki
the doers opened
and I entered."
However, such
thorough prep
aration us was
hers in any given
line, in "these
s-- CPS meat brisk and
E. W. enEE.NWOOD. giddy paced
times," Insures its possessor a fitting
sphere of action. Te ene who has listen
ed te her, it seems perfectly natural that
from at first speaking in the catise of
temperance nnd giving Bible readings te
a group of earnest women she should be
cordially Invited into the churches of all
denominations. Even the Presbyterians
and Episcopalians, who held se firmly te
the silence of women in the cengrega
tien, accord her and her Bible readings
hearty welcome.
I shall net seen forget the first time I
heard her speak in public. Refined and
womanly, even te the last detail of her
costume, and delicately modest, yet with
the grace et quiet certainty in her man
ner, as she appears befere an audience
she is most pleasing. As she steed lean
ing slightly forward, with a rapt earnest
ness of expression, speaking without
notes nnd with an cloquence which, like
Chrysostom's, might be described ns
"golden mouthed," I could understand
hew all criticism, en account of her be
ing n woman, is silent befere her clear
and biibtle reasoning, her perfect diction
nnd her evident self cifaccmcut in her
work.
Although licensed te preach, she has
never sought ordination. It was old So
journer Truth who said, "What's de use
e' makln' such a fuss about ycr rights?
Why'dun ye jest go 'Jeng an' take 'em?"
This is precisely what Miss Greenwood
h:ts done. Seeking no ersenal honor
nor advancement, she brought excep
tional litne.ss te her work, and has sim
ply gene forward with its achievement.
Her publle speaking she simply calls
Bible readings, although these same
"readings" nre be perfect, both in man
ner nnd matter, that they each of them
are a most logical, polished and eloquent
sermon.
Although a member of the Methodist
church, Miss Greenwood has very little,
denominational bias. In her Immediate
family are memlwrs of the Dutch Re
formed, the Episcopal and Methodist
churches. In regard tecrecd she says of
herself: "I believe in Ged our Father,
Jesus our Saviour nnd an indwelling
Hely Spirit, and I de net believe in build
ing the wails close and high about our
own little plot, for se we keep out the
sunshine of Ged's liest blessing."
While perfectly gentle, unebtrusive
anil womanly, as a successful projector
nnd organizer Miss Greenwood has
proved I icrbelf the equal of any woman
of the day. While she was superintend
ent of the department of scientific tem
perance insli notion of the Women's
Temperance union, in the state of New
Yerk, Bhe organized and concluded an
effort which eventuated in the passage
of the bill by the senate and assembly
which provides that "physiology and
hygiene, with especial reference te the
efiect of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and
narcotics upon the human system," shall
be taught in the public schools of the
Btate of New Yerk.
Miss Greenwood "systematically nr
ranced every county and township in.
the state, and by means of circulars nnd
letters secured the signatures of 57,419
persons te a ietitien asking for the pass pass
age of this bill. She also wrete a per
Mtinl letter te each of the tenaters and
abscmlilymcn.
But after nil has been said of Miss
Gjcenwoed ns an nble scholar, a success
ful philanthropic worker and an elo
quent preacher, it is pleasant te record
that she in rtill a sweet and winsome wo
man. AxTOtSKfTB Van Hek.sen.

1,400 names nnd rallki above any similar
organliatien, with perhaps one exception,
the New Yerk Athletle club. The A. 0. B.
N. has made a secialty of boxing and
wrestling, and In these branches has reached
tbe highest point of proficiency.. In track
athletics it does net clalnl a Vary high posi

tingent dovetod te these sports, se that It I
only a matter of time when thorough devel

athletics than te boxing centests, etc. The
club has bad a wenderful growth. Organized
mera than eleven ycarsage, with but thirteen

today Its membership roll contains almost
400 names.

THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Carinas Variation et llntr aad Very Cs
rlen Ceremonies.
The Caucasian has but ene New Yaw's;
the Mongolian has many in a sense.
There is, first, the real New Year, the
first day of tlie Chinese calendar. Thea
there is the day en which the relgning
emperor began his reign, and that Is a
patriotic New Year's. Finally, there is
tits great "Devil Drive," about theflnr
of October,
WOK81I1P OV rf(K8. .
1ft Chinese annals this is the 4.288th
year of litis era, as eras wtre divided by
1'nn Koe Weng, the dlvlne regulator
of time; hut an te the real duration of
muudnnu things Chinese history dents
with eras se vast and reigns se long that
a little variation of 1,000 years is treated
as a trilling discrepancy. The New Yerk
Chinese made the day glorious indeed.
The flight befere the big Jess house at
16 Melt Blreet had been newly decorated
withln.'aiul promptly nt 0 o'clock Chin
Hah, one of the officiating priests,
placed four cups of tea In front of the
idol of Jens and lighted the big Chinese
lanterns en the front of the building.
The great event of the day wns the
Whey Nenn dinner nt About 8 o'clock,
which was the grand wind up for the
departing year. Ne exiciise had been
spared te make it a success.
The Whey. Nean dinner is the best the
Chinaman eats during the year, and
after It In geed time for they spend
four or live Iieuih eating, drinking and
smoking comes the annual purifying
bath, which is much like the ceremony
seme sects have of bathing in the Jor Jer
dan. Antl-Chlnese ugltuters have de
clared that this is the only ba'th the Chi
naman takes in the year. At any rate
the New Yei k Chinaman did all their re
ligion required, and exactly nt midnight
the blaze of fireworks began from the
balcony of their temple, then all theso
within fell en their knees befere the
household Jess. After saying the New
Year prayer they started In te burn Jess
Bticks and incense papers, nnd the room
was quickly filled with smeke. Then
came congratulaTiens and the greetings
of "Keqn he fn Tey," which means "a
happy New Year." Informal calling be
gan Immediately, but the swell boss
Chinamen did net tnuke their calls till
next day.
In China they often 1cecp irp the fes
tivities for two weeks, but American
Chinese are generally peer and limit the
thing te three days. In California it
lasts n week like a darky Christinas
down south. There Is se much latitude
In the matter that the Chinese legntlen
at Washington usually begins te cole cele cole
brate about the middle of February, and
en the 10th of that mouth two years
ege the Chinese minister gave ene of the
finest entertainments ever given in that
city, having COO guests.
The reason for this rcmarknble varia
tion In dates is that Chinese history be
gins with the reigns of the Tien-hwang,
7i-What.il and Yin-Whang, or-eolcstial,
superhuman ten estrlal nnd human rul
ers, nnd at a later datu the foundation of
their own empire was recognized, and
finally, the people generally becoming
skeptical, the annual combine against
the devll became a sortef New Year's, as
things had get te such n peM that the
devll wes the only Invisible power in
which all Chinamen believed.
DESTItUCTION OF Till! DEVIL.
Hence the "devll drlve" excites their
enthusiasm immensely. A jeurnulibt who
witnessed tlie ccrciiienfcH in Sacramento,
nfter dcucribiug the interior of the tem
porary Jehs limine and its gigantic Jesi,
adds: "They are net ftt all squeamish
about their leligien and allowed me te go
in nnd out nt will. All ever the open area
acrobats were performing, puldlcrs bell
lug cakes ami fruitB, and musician? keep
ing up their monotonous twang, while
an open air theatre was giving a play,
nnd soma 10,000 Chinamen seemed full
of hilarity. About midnighta great beat
ing of gongs nnd sheeting of crackers
announced that the devil was te 'go up.'
The hideous llgure was seated In the fire;
nil his red and yellow paper trappings
blazed, thousands of crackers Hew from
his Hides, and when the flre reached the
hollow column constituting hit Eelid
body, he shot high In nlr, like a rocket,
and exploded with u fearful etinkl And
se thev were rid of the devil for unetlicr
ear.,r
