"What first strikes an American after he arrives in India is this: Ho meets a lot of broken down Englishmen -who try to touch him for a small loan. That's what strikes him." When the applause had sufficiently sub sided the veteran showman continued: "In this respect perhaps India doesn't differ widely from other European countries. The first thing that turns up for you in London, or Paris, or Australia, is the same seedy looking individual who is expecting a re mittance every day. In India he merely strikes your sooner and harder and more persistently. He is usually the second or third, fourtli or fifth son of a baronet; gen erally well bred and imperious, and always a liar. India is a place of family banish ment for England superfluous sons who have been born with champagne appetites and beer incomes. They send their crim inals to Australia and their worthless gen tlemen to India. Thousands of the latter go out there in the civil service. Doomed to Impecunious Exile. "When they are dUcharged they never nave enough money to get bacc ana their relatives in England are careful not to send them enough for such a purpose. They can't enter into any business in competi tion with the natives and are in hard luck generally. They are always hanging around the Botcls looking for suckers. They are principally remarkable for their genteel education and capacity for hard liqnor. "India is rather a queer country in some other respects. I went up to Bangalore, a large town in Southern India, where they hold their annual military reviews They were having seme fine horve races about that time and the crowd was motley, very great and very mnch excited. Everybody, nearly, made books on the races. Xobody puts money up there. They make bosks. That's Enclish. If you lose you pay if you win the other fellow can't be found," perhaps; but you've got him on your list, you know, and if he happens to be the scion of a noble house that ought to be something;. A mercantile friend of mine who would be a drummer in Chicago, but was a bagman in India, came up from Madras with me. Of course, my companion made a book. I never caw a drummer who wouldn't bet on a horse race, A Winner and Tet a Loser. "When we figured ud for the dav he had lost 150 rupees and had won about 1,000. I Those who had won from him came around I immediatelv and collected. Of his win- I nings he got but 40 rupees. So he was out 110 rupees on the day. But then he had the experience. Some of these bets were with British army officers. Imagine an American officer but that's different. It is as hard to imagine as it is to imagine a Chi cago drummer taking bets at a horse race with no money up. "I met with many experiences in India. I was then looking for performers and curios for a show. The day I arrived in Bancalore one of those fakirs with a lot of snakes came in front of the bungalo and an nounced that he was going to give a per formance. And he did give a very credit able snake entertainment. So good, in fact, that I made him an offer on the spot to go to America. 'Xo, no, sahib,' he replied, I cannot go. I am soon to become a father." " "All the railroad trains down there have but one first-class coach and this is divided into two compartments, usually onelormales and the other for females. Few people ride firEt-class there swells and Americans. The natives are not allowed to ride first-class, except by consent of white people who are first-class passengers. Second-class is con sidered good enough for the most worthy native. The Princes usually have special cars. X-uck or an Apostate Brahmin. "All are under the immediate supervision of the British Government. English uni forms are evervwhere. Coming from Banga lore to Mysor I happened to be the only oc cupant of the first-class compartment, when a very well dressed native, accompanied by several servants with bundles, came to the door of the car and raised his hat and asked if I had any objections to his riding in the car with me. Oi course I gave my consent. 1 found the man could talk very good En glish and was a very interesting conversa tionalist. His name was Meenacshaya. He w as a barrister going to Mysor to defend a case in a native court He had formerly been one of the Bramins of India, but had forsaken them some yean before and gone to England, where he had remained several years. He created a great sensation while in England, for he was very wealthy and lived abroad as he did at home, in great style. He was married, but after he re turned from England the Brahmins made his wife and daughter live apart from him. He was allowed to see them only from a dis tance 75 feet, I believe. He was devoting his whole influence, he assured me, to the breaking down and eradication of the Brah mins. Kidlns; Behind a Pair of Bollocks. "When we arri ed in Mysore no carriages were at the station and we had to take a bullock cart a clumsy two-wheeled affair drawn bv oxen for the hotel. The latter was an adobe bnilding in the middle of a rard and was run by a paree. Ko European lhed within the town, limits. The usual Enclish military contingent camped out side. I was the second American who had ever been there, and was therefore regarded with much curiosity. It is against the Brahmin's faith to eat meat. I saw this old parsee sending a variety of uncooked meats to his room then these Brahmins would steal in for chops and steaks they dared not buy in the shops and sneak away one after another. "I was entertained here by the Mahar ajah, the prince of that country. I told him what I was there for, and he volunteered to assist me by any information in his power. One day when I was telling stories to a member of his suite a native came running in and announced that he had seen a white tieer out in the jungle. Amid great excite ment a hunting party was organized. They beat the bush lor eight days for that tiger for I had ofiered 10,000 rupees for him alive but nothing came of it. Then they beat the native for Iving. I was somewhat dis appointed myself, but I felt sorrv lor the Soor wretch who was whipped half to death, 'obody else will see any white tigers around that neighborhood again, anyhow. Getting Even "With the Hotels. -A curious custom in India is for a trav eler to register at a hotel when he leaves and u hen he arrives. He is thus favored with the expectation that he will record his good opinion of the hostelry over his signa ture. This fashion was originally intro duced by the English Government at the camp houses or travelers' bungaloos in order to keep a check upon the Government serv ants. A traveler was supposedo write his opinion or complaint and sign it. It must be admitted that the svstem has its advan tage. I recalled all the horrors and indig nities I had ever suffered at the hands of hotel keepers since I was a boy and boiled my revenge down into the notice I left on that hotel register in India. To Bay I roasted 'em is putting it like taffy. "The biggest liars in the world aretobe found in India. They are the champions of the earth. If Tom Ochiltree had lived in India he would never have been heard of, much less mentioned in the papers. These fellows lie so much they would be knocked deadbv a casual truth. It would affect them like a stroke of lightning. I was told in Mysor that about 100 miles from there lived a man whose hair was so long it swept the ground as he walked. Experience in Freak Hunting. "It was way back in the -wildest part of the country, where he was supposed to be located. Several of these Brahmins had seen him. So I went to work and hired a relay of bullock carts to cet him out. This took about four days, and the country was awfully rugged. I found the man. But his hair only came down about as far as far as Jerry Busk's -whiskers. It would have been long for a Broadway soubrette, but wasn't much for a side show. He must have been 75 years old, so there was no hope of its growing longer. So all that time and trouble -went for nothing. "Another time up in Secunderbad a rail road manager told me of a native who was nine feet high a regular giant, he said. 2Tow, I knew this man had lived in India 20 or 25 years years and I felt that he was probably as bijj a liar as the natives. So 1 took no'stock in his story. I told him so very frankly. It made him rather warm under the collar. He finally said to show me he Was tellin? the truth he would send for him at his own expense. The alleged giant lived about a thousand miles away. The railroad man telegraphed to a brother official up in that region to send the giant down that there was a rich American who had sent the agent clear to India for him and there was big money in it. How the Lies Dwindle Down. "I told him t hat I'd pay so much to se cure the giant if he answered the descrip tion given. Well, he arrived about four days later. He was nearly seven feet high instead of nine. But he looked realljr ten. He was as thin as a hairpin and weighed exactly 125 pounds. He was so weak we had to'lean him up against a house while I measured him. I was afraid to breathe on him for fear of breaking him in two. "We would have had to pack him in cotton to bring him over. Did this railroad liar take water? Not a bit of it. He swore up and dowe and crosswise that the man was a giant when he saw him last, and that it was a case of India sickness that had thus re duced him in heighth and thickness. It was the most remarkable ease of shrinkage I ever saw. These liars, however, had to send the man back. "This reminds me that in India as well as in other parts of the world the further you are off from anything of this kind the big ger it seems. As you get nearer to yonr object it gets whittled down smaller and smaller in importance until It isn't worth consideration. A man in search of such things is a sort of a rai show chaser. Every liar inoreasei the size and significance. "When you finally get right up to it the thing bears about as much resemblance to the first story you heard as a picture in front of a side show does to the real curios ity within the tent."

J The Peruna Medicine Co. Sirs: I have used Pe-ru-na in my family, first for my wife in lung trouble. She has been greatly benefited; has passed over the winter, bo far, with a great deal less trouble than for years. I haVe also found it of great benefit in two cases of la grippe in mv family. I have found great benefit myself in kidney trouble, and think a bottle or two will set me all right. Bev. J. C. Easuall. Each of the cases described in this candid testimonial are doubtless the result of ca tarrh in some phase or variety. In the case of the wife who had a chronic lung trouble it was chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes and air cells. La grippe, is but acute enidemio catarrh, in which he found Pe-ru-na such a prompt relief for two members of his family, while his own case was one of chronic catarrh of the kid neys. This explains why Pe-ru-na was found to be so perfectly adapted to such apparently dissimilar diseases. Catarrh usually begins in the head or throat and is commonly known as "a cold." "Catching cold" is the ordinary phrase for an at tack of acute catarrh. It may begin with a slight cough, or hawking and spitting mucous from the throat, or running at the nose, or watery eyes; but these symptoms, in a large per cent of cases, continue to grow worse until grave or fatal disease sets in. Of course, some cases recover without any treatment, but it is extremely danger ous anda foolish to run such risks. If no attention is paid to the acute stage it either sets up diphtheria, pneumonia, consump tion, or some other disease, or develops chronic catarrh, or at least leave the mucous surfaces of the head and throat especially liable to another attack at the slightest ex posure. As soon as chronio catarrh bis become established the victim is never free from a list of disgusting and troublesome symp toms which are sufficient to make life al most unendurable. If the chronio catarrh is of the humid variety an incessant spit ting, hanking and blowing of the nose is kept up, to the great annoyance of patient and others. The thickened membranes of the nose and throat produce snoring, watery eyes and deafness. Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis, sore throat and pleurisy are all catarrhal affec tions, and consequently are quickly curable by Pe-ru-na. Each bottle of Pe-ru-na ib accompanied by full directions for use, and is kept by most druggists. Get your drng- fist to order it for you if ho does not already eep it In old cases of catarrh, whether of the humid or dry variety, it is only necessarr to take Pe-ru-na exactly as directed on the bottle. Any one using Pe-ru-na who do not realize the benefit they ought from its use should write Dr. Hartman, giving a de scription of the circumstances, and he is usually able to discover the reason of the failure, and help to a speedy cure. But it is only necessary in the great majority of cases to follow the direction ou the bottle and a cure is certain.

Sarah Bernhardt's stage dressing is a charming product of art and adds much to the enjoyment of her audience; but her dressing i n private life is more interesting still. It is full of lessons in beauty that every woman can understand and should turn to account "We are in great fortune to have a living ex emplar of the laws of art in dress Such an illustra tion is so Tare, in deed, that one may live a lifetime through without liver being re minded that dress ought to be the creation of art Ordinarily we either submit it to the ma terial rule of fashion, which imposes on us all sorts of fantasticalities, or else, if we are strong minded, we rebel and carry the mat ter over into the world of reason, the moral world. And the difference between these two is the difference . between capricious nonsense and ugliness. Neither aide has the right of the matter. Dress in the .Esthetic Domain. Dress properly belongs in the Ksthetio domain. It is true that it is a material necessity and that it must be subject to moral laws; but these two must be reconciled by art Dress must be the product and creation of aesthetic laws, and there is no possibility of its being beautified by any other means. It is a strange thing that women should spend fo much of their lives in the effort to make dress add to their beauty without it ever occurring to them to study and apply the laws of art To the average woman the proposition to do this would be so new as to be hardly understood. She has a vague idea that testhetic dress means a Kate Greena way gown or a Roman toga. Even actresses, whose business it is to be well dressed, ex hibit wardrobes so hopeless from the art standpoint, as to be on a par in quality with those oad pictures which are rejected from the exhibitions. In fine, the public in gen eral is so far from a true understanding of the matter that even those of us who deem ourselves qualified to be oracular about it content ourselves mostly with extolling the lirees ana aiscussmg tne wisdom ot a re turn to the popular, all of which is mere affectation. Bernhardt's Artistic" Effects. But Mme. Bernhardt knows that beauty cannot be produced in dress any more than it can on a canvas, except by the eternal laws of art, and this is why her results are worth study. Try to imagine dressing, which is on a par in esthetic value with say, a painting by Grenze, and you will have some idea of the quality "of her prod uct in this direction. There is that in her most Indifferent cos tume which rivets the eye and delights the sense. It is bewilder ingly effective and apparently -with the slightest of means. That there can be good dressing in which fashion has no voice or influence is hard for the fashion ridden world to un- stand. But let ui analyze Bernhardt's Her Black Velvet dress and see by what means its beauty is produced. This is the way it is done: In the first place she has assumed that the Creator can make a more beautiful form than the dress maker can. This is her ground principle or starting point No garment is permitted to alter or disguise the shape of her figure. The corset she docs not wear either on the stage or ofl; the conventional corseted waist is as far from suggesting Mme. Sarah's form as a wheelbarrow is. And just here an in teresting observation is to be made. The dress reformers also have discarded the cor set, but the difference between theirs and Mme. Sarah's results is very great and it lies in this: "While she has substituted art for fashion and evolved a dress in harmony with the natural form they have retained the conventional forms of fashion modified and uglified. The Use of the Plain Basque, An example will make this clearer. The plain basque," with its darts and back side forms, is the friece de resistance I speak advisedly ot lashionable dress. This waist, which was designed to wear over the corset and which fits the corset and not the figure, is persisted in by the reformers. But Bernhardt's ideal of form is that of the artist's and the artist's is that of perfect nature, and this waist, therefore, has no place in her wardrobe. Again, the construction of her garments obeys absolutely the law of fold centers, which I have formulated as follows: Folds may legitimately be fastened only where, by the form of the body, they would be gath ered naturally together". "Wherever the body offers support to the weight of the garment there is a natural fold center. The points furnished by nature for sus- E ending the garments are the shoulders and ins: therefore to attain the maximum of beauty in its hanging the garment must have all its parts depend, or appear to depend, from these two sources, but principally from the shoulders, as they, from their posi tion and form, offer the principal resistance to gravity. Bernhardt's dress hangs en tirely from the shoulders. Her gowns are composed of a yoke, to which a skirt is gathered, precisely like a child's gown, and confined at the waist with girdles. Some of Bernhardt' s Costumes. Following is a description in detail of some of the costumes in her private ward robe at this moment: A house dress is of brown and white hair line stripe shot silk, gathered into a rounded yoke of brown velvet Brown velvet sleeves, full to below the elbow, over close sleeves of the silk. The skirt is simply hemmed. This slip isjeonfined at ithe waist with two silver girdles, one of them loose and droop ing in front , A charming gown Is entirely of black velvet The skirt "is attached to a heart shaped yoke. These yokes simply round np to the top of the shoulder, instead of ending in the armhole. The yoke and mutton leg sleeves are embroidered with small stars of gold bullion and thread. It is aguste in the back that is to say, it fits close to the bottom of the waist, and it is fastened by a lacing .behind. It is confined by gold belts. Another has the skirt of brown velvet Madame makes great use of velvet The yoke and sleeves are oi silk; of a lighter fawn color, and are richly embroidered with gold and silks. It is fastened under the arm. For this gown then is a long tan colored cloak of soft camel's hair, sprinkled over with tufted flakes of a deeper brown. Also a Russian sable boa and a large hat of tan colored felt, faced on the under side with felt and trimmed with black ostrich feathers. The large hat is set somewhat back on the head. Madame wears mostly large hats. She understands that a small hat, unless it fits like a cap, merely changes the shape of the head, but that large hat frames the face. Bilk and "Velvet. Still another is a soft Ottoman silk of a reddish violet color. The yoke and sleeves are of velvet, of the same color, richly jeweled in an all over pattern. It has a nigh, rolling collar. A band of velvet borders the skirt xo complete tnis coo tume is a velvet cloak ot the same color, richly bordered with bands of otter; also a hat of black, loaded with violets and pink Castilian roses. The sleeves of these gowns are of the mutton leg order, very full at the top and wrinkled along the arm, and very long, covering well the wrist Also the skirts are long, training somewhat behind, and often so long in front that one wonders how she can walk in them. Her cloaks also refer their support to the shoulders, and no fitted back seams of hide- ii 5 I J V$tL IPlM r. IK " tV- I M' i ff M a:m .'....'JAIhf.V il -i v & tV Her Colored Cloak. aaVBaVarjral ous convex curves are mapped out npon them. A characteristic one is of black plush, which hangs easily from a yoke of solid black passementerie, and is furnished with sleeves that are very full about the shoulders. It may be of interest in this day of bell skirts to know how Madame manages about pockets. She has none in her gown, bnt if you watch for a little you may see her calmly and deliberately raise her onterskirt and draw out her handkerchief from a pocket in her satin petticoat Art In Handling a Handkerchief. Madame's use of this same tiny handker chief is worth while noting, by the way. In her fingers it seems to attain nervous force and become a delicate fibrile texture as she touches it lightly to her hair and face, and then rolls it up out of sight in her palm. It might seem to one who has not seen Bernhardt in them that these garments would appear neglige. They do not in the least Nothing could be more elegant Much of this success, however, depends on the underdressing, which is compact and fine. In place of a corset she wears either a stitched waist, without bones or cords, or else two simply stitched bands, one below the other. "When will woman understand that com plexion does not constitute the whole of beauty? Hear what Madame Sarah herself says on this point "Facial beauty," she says, "is unessen tial. The face needs absolutely but two things a lovely expression and good teeth. Good teeth are necessary to clear enuncia tion, and the mouth should be sightly when opened. The eyes must be expressive, the look out of her face must be attractive, the smile have imagination; in a word, the face must denote character." In a desultory conversation Bernhardt re cently expressed herself on dress as follows: "Whatever you do, dress becomingly. That is my rule. See that what you wear suits you your person, your individuality. Make your costume to suit you, not your self to suit your costume. Ah, madame, what a blow at fashion! It Is wise economy to have one's clothes made by the very best modistes who are themselves artiBts in their own special lines. But it is not wise to rely upon the uniform judgment of one per son. It does not take a good costumer loner to see and learn jnst what you need, but if you cling to him monotonously you will al ways bear the same stamp, like yourgoddess And yet, in spite of this advice, Madame designs her own costumes, down to the smallest detail. Artist First, Actress Afterward. It is quite another aspect of Bernhardt's skill in dress that presents itself at the theater. Wherever the historical exigencies of the piece permit there her costume is recognized as an expression of cotempora neous French art, just as surely as are the canvases of De Neuville, Gerome and Bonnat The subtlest art knowledge per vades it She is an artist always before she is an actress, and herein lies much of her power. "Where others grasp merely the technique of the profession, she has taken every branch of esthetics to be her prov ince. Who can recall the dress she wears as Jeanne d'Are at Dernremy without knowing this? Note the care taken with the irregu lar lacing of the bodice that the lines shall iall into harmony with other lines of the composition, and how the blue strings are broken by the white ones of the cfiemise falling across them, Just as the painter would take care to break them. All the quality required for value in a picture is there, though it is to last for but a moment Her Girdles Characteristic. Mme. Bernhardt's girdles are a charac teristic feature of her dress. She wears two one passing horizontally around the waist, and the other loose and drooping in front It is not caprice that is shown in these belts, but a knowledge of beau ty. The first belt moulds itself to the cross section of the body and shows all the subtleties of curvature it passes over, and the droop ing one emphasizes the hips and con fines the garment to the body below the waist line in front The first carries the eye round, the sec ond refers to the hips as points of support Beautiful asBern hardt's dress is, it would be as treat a Her Black PlwsK mistake for us all to copy it as it is for one painter to imitate another. We should not copy the masters, hut study them and learn how to express f ourselves. Could we predict the day when every woman would bi known by the creation of her dress, as the painter is known by his canvas; when she would eschew fashion and with esthetic knowledge learn to ex press herself, we might look to a future filled with a beauty we have never vet seen. a future in which an infinite amount of energy now wasted will be diverted and utilized. To realize this future we 'need only to be convinced ot its possibility, and this Mme. Bernhardt has proved to us. A.B.O. ft Fits AH tits stopped tree by Dr. Nera Restorer.

The overture was about the liveliest ever witnessed in the Quarter Sessions. J. C. Dicken, in making a motion for a new trial in a case, quoted, as he alleged, from remarks made by Judge Ewing to the jury. Judge Ewing didn't exactly call Mr. Dicken a liar, but his lan guage amounted to that Dicken, however was inperturbable and persisted until he finally secured about what he wanted. A plentiful supply of oil overcame His Honor's acidity. The reasons filed by Mr. Dicken in support of his motion were unique and their reading set the audience in a roar. One was that Judge Ewing had remarked to him with regard to one of his witnesses, "Ton had better withdraw him; he's hurting your case," etc Another was that he, Dicken, had been limited to a three minute speech in addressing the jury, while the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Harry Goehr lng, had been allowed to go on without in terruption, and had spoken six minutes. Mrs. Allshouse After Her Husband. Ellen Allshouse asked the court to make an effort to compel her husband, W. E. Alls house, to support her and her babies- She is at present living with her father in Alle gheny City, and her husband has been soend ing much of his time lately in Lowell O. Mrs. Allshouse said she hadn't gotten any thing from her husband since May. Mr. Allshouse, in extenuation, said that he hadn't been able to get employment that would secure meat and potatoes tor himself and family, and of late bis wife had kept him in jail, where he only got his board. His beard was stubby, and: he presented the generally -wilted appearance of a cru9hd tragedian and seemed to care very little what was done with him. Must Put Vp S3 a Week. He was informed that he had the option to pay Mrs. Allshouse $2 a week or stay in jail.

J. 6. Ferguson called np the Stayton "Wyman fight for the Allegheny Mayoralty. The gist of his statement was that the Slay ton side had not yet produced anything sub stantial to which the defense could answer, and ended by suggesting that the shortest way to get at the matter would be to have the ballot boxes opened so as to show whioh party got tho advantage from the "horn swogle," if there were any. Mr. Ferguson's plea was that the apparent sinuosities were as a rule mere blunders and made in favor of both sides. Judge Ewing granted a rule to have the boxes opened. Monday's Trial List.

Frank Gerade will be placed on trial to morrow for the second time for the murder of hta stepdaughter. Gerade killed the child by dashing her brains out against a cradle. His counsel set up a plea of insanity, but a jury Impaneled to inquire into his sanity pronounced him sane. At the trial of the case the same plea was made, but the jury found him guilty of mur der In the first degree, and he was sentenced to death. The case was taken to the Supreme Court, and a new trial was granted him. Gerade's second ohance for his life was given him by reason of one word used by Judge Magee in his charge to the Jury. Judge Magee instructed the Jury that they "must be clearlv satisfied of his insanity." Tho Supremo Court held that the expression nsed was too strong, and placed too much of a Burden on the defense. Had the Court left out tho word "clearlv" it would have been all right, but the use or that word placed the burden of proof be yond a reasonable donbt an the defense in stead of on the prosecution where it should rest. Therefore, on account of the use of that one little adjective, Gerade was granted a new trial. An Allegheny Policeman's Trouble. Henry Brown entered a suit against George Bergltresser, an Allegheny police man, yesterday asking $2,000 damages. He alleges that on the night of October 17, he was assaulted on East street by tho officer, who locked him up.
