THIRD EDITION
RIGHT AFTER ALL.
Tim HrrnlilV Side or Itio UlirWtman
dimly Aimir.
About two weeks ago tlio IIkkvlii pub
liithed au account of a ministerial meeting lu
which It wae decided to take stepa to a!xllli
tbe custom of distributing candy at '.lie
Obrlstrass festivities in Sunday schools.
Tbe report remained a published without
any contradiction until last Sunday evening,
when a clergyman in one of the town
ehurclioa felt obliged to make an explana
tion of the article in order to pacify aoue
anxious members of tie congregation or
Sunday school.
Some )eople who couldn't live without
kicking and will probably kick even after
(tobriel summons them, at once took the
clergyman'! remarks as a censure of tlio
HjtK.tLD for misrepresenting the proceedings
of the mooting.
Iu making the rxplanatlon the clergyman
Mated that the ministerial meeting had not
leclded to abolish the omdy custom, but to
memorialize the Sunday schools to do so
Several who heard thepastoratoiicepuckerod
au their li and said, "Well there, now;
why didn't the IIervM) say so? If it had
we wouldn't have raised all this fuss."
tteferetioe to the files shows tbnt the
K ERA r.n did titi so. If the peoplo who got
Into a sweat over the matter have a copy of
tbe Ukhalu of November? they will find iu
the third column of tbe first page a repro
duction of the resolution adopted at the
ministerial meeting, reading us follows :
Ntulved, That we memorialize each Stindiiv
school to dispense wlih the distribution of
g,7t od Chrisuaus
It hoped the people who were so ready to
oburge ti'.'ut the IIkkalu misrepresented the
matter will ;lo the paper justice by com
mitting the publication to memory.

THEATRICAL NOTES.
Jutt now the regulars are particularly
bitter against tlio no culled ilrainntloscliools,
which, they say, are year after year dump
inn horde of incompetent upon tbe mar
ket. Ah these amatenre lire willing to work
for notbing-nud-glamour per week, the real
aotora are froren nut, ami to' such an ex
tent that many of them have (riven up tho
stage anil actually taken to work as a
means of earning a livelihood. It goes
against the grain of the average hainfatter
to lie as other plain moitals, but oxyKen
unadulterated with aught more tangible
than Hlalto dust microbes is not very "fill
in," so the dreadful alternative has to be
adopted sometimes aa a lost report.
Let every person who take nn interest
In the progress (if the Amerionn drama keep
an eye on Henry Guy Carleton, who can
(stutter and writeaa humorously nanny man
in this country. I have never Been n poor
piece of work from his pen, and it almost
seems that he is incapable of it, Ileisnn
erratic genius, however, and won't work
except when he feels like It, and then only
In his own way. However he is a very busy
man just now. The other day he completed
n comedy, and submitted it to Charles Froh
man, who accepted it for John Drew. It
will be produced in Host on during the lat
ter part of next month so that everything
will he running smoothly by the time tho
comedlnn reaches this city for Ills annual
engagement.
jlr. Carleton is, I hear, also hard at work
on a serious drama for a atock company,
and he is under contract to deliver a play
to Nat Goodwin in time for next season.
So that he ought to find enough to keep
him busy and earn enough to make him
comfortable during tbe coming year. Guy
Carleton is likely some day to surprise
most folks by writing the much heralded
but still not arrived "great American
play."
It is a difficult matter to earn a reputa
tion as a playwright, but it is a mighty use
ful thing after it has been obtained. Despite
tho immediate failure and prompt with
drawal of David Belasoo's "The Younger
Son," Charles Frohman has already signed
a contract with the uutlinr to have a play
ready for tho opening of tho regular Reason
at the Empire theater in the fall of 1801. It
takes more than one good manuscript to
earn a reputation, and it takes more than
a single poor one to destroy it.
Many persons labor under theimpression
that dramatic authors are very poorly paid
for their work. That this is a great mistake
Is manifest when it is known that ISronson
Howurd, William Gillette, David Bclasco
MISS NAKCT M'lNTOail.
and fceverfil others are wealthy men, while
Augustus Thomas is well provided with
this world's goods, and most of tho well
known writers for the staise are in receipt
of handsome incomes, in most cases several
times as great as that of a senator of the
United States. There are of course persons
who sell a play for a few hundred dollars,
or dispose of it for a royalty of 135 or $f0 n
week, but usually the goods are dear at tho
price. It is a pleasing sign of the times that
farce comedy is ou the wane nnu that pres
ent day melodrama is becoming scarce, the
survivors in most cui-os being works of some
inherent merit.
A prominent New York manager n few
days ago told mo that he hail figure to
prove that this is the worst theatrical sea
son this country has had since 1880. He
thought this was due to the fact that many
outsiders hud been induced to go into tho
business by such phenomenal successes as
"Shenandoah," "Held by the Enemy" and
"Tho Girl I Left Behind Me," and thnt the
fallings by the wayside wero whnt all sen
sible men expected. Still the effect on the
shows which continued bus been disas
trous. The same manager, however, ad
mitted that the strong attractions have
never known a better seaton. In other
words the people are getting tired of being
humbugged, and if the recent financial
stringency has brought about this changed
condition, it will not have been an unmixed
evil.
Nancy McInto-.li, tho American prima
donna, who in the leading role of Gllbort
and Sullivan's new opera, "Utopia, Limit
ed, has created a good deal of a furore In
London mimical circles, is just SSyeurs of
age. She is an amateur athlete in a small
way and is a particularly good horsewom
an. She looks more English than Ameri
can, being a handsome, well formed blond.
Sheisdignifled iu appearance, and although
but 5 feet 0 inches in height impresses the
observer as being muoh taller.
Her present engagement was entirely a
matter of accident. She met Sir. Gilbert
nt a dinner given by Mrs. Henschel. The
famous librettist was charmed by her nai
vete, and learning that she was posesed
of a fine voice, expressed a desire to have
her sing the soprano role of his opera,
which was theu on the stocks. Mias Mcin
tosh felt flattered, but thought of the epi
sode as only a pleasant compliment, espe
cially its sbe heard nothing more of it for
months. When she had almost forgotten
about it, she wan one day summoned to
bing for Sir Arthur Sullivan and Mr.
D'Oyly Carte, with thereeult that a three
years' oontraot was atonoe signed.
And that is how sweet Nai(oy Molntosb.
got her start on the operatic binge.

A DISGRACE.
The Iliposuro and Inconvenience Suffered
by Poor Iliiilgrants.
Through some bad management, the emi
grants who arrlvo here on tho midnight
train aro mailo to suffer vory much. No
mattor whore they aro booked for, thoy are
dumped oil" at the Wyoming street station in
this city when tho train arrives and thcro
they are left to mako out tho best thoy can.
Some of tho police who happen to bo at tho
station direct tho poor peoplo to Slowltski's
restaurant, where they are generally kept for
the night and for which Mr. SlowIUkl re
ceives nothing, only the thanks of tho poor
ones whom ho so kindly sboUered.
On Wednesday night, when It was so coltl,
tho train did not arrlvo at this city until long
after midnight and on it woro a batch of em
igrants who were trying to roach Mahanoy
City, Shenandoah and other towns In Schuyl
kill county. When tho train arrived there
were no police at the station, for on that
night thoy woro compelled to bo In different
purls of tho olty watching a number of tramps
who were acting very suspiciously. Towards
morning when somo of them eamo In tho
vicinity of tin' statioti thoy hoard tho cries of
children and fuuud huddled together a half
dozen women trying to keep warmth in us
many little ones and and all wcro crying
and sobbing on account of tho sad predion
mcnt thoy wcrojplnccd In. Tho police learned
from the poor women that thoy just landed
and wcro on their way to meet their hubands
who woro working in somo of tho Schuylkill
towns, when they were put off at thts pluco
as tho train goes no Anther, and not knowing
any person, or where they could get shelter,
tliey wero in awful despair. The poor peoplo
were thinly clad and suffered much with tho
cold, and the only thing to be done with
them was to put them in tho station house or
ugaln depend upon tho charity of Mr.
Slowllskl. Thoy wcro taken to Hlowitski's
and, us generous as over, ho offered them tho
shelter of his house One of them, an Eng.
lisli woman who had two small children,
begged of tho police to tako her to aorao hotel
whero she could got a warm bod for herself
and her little ones. Ollleers Polgrain and
Wallace conducted Iho poor woman to
Shaefcr's hotel, and thcro got her a room for
which they paid out of their own pockets.
This is only one of tho many oases which
occur almost nightly und it is nearly time
that something was dono to put an end to tho
awful distress these poor pooplo aro subjected
to by being left over hero at night. ITatlelon
