is refreshing to be able to announce a meri torious and elevating performance such as will be seen at White's the first half of next week on which occasion Lewis Moriison ill essay Mephisto and Miss Celia Alsberg Marguerite in and A RAV ON THE KNUCKLES Mr Barrett the latest nglish actor to find the hour of addressing an American audience the proudest of his life takes one strange way of showing his appreciation of America and things prized in America It happens that he is not the only stage player of the name he bears and Ills anxiety over his personality strikes us as one ot the rarest bils ot la de da Ism that foreign artists have treated the Western bar barians to It is stated that in all Iris corre spondence Mr Barrett emphasizes his precious first namo thus IVilson Barrett and that liis management in nil its parts lias orders to the same effect So do all ins advertisements read the emphasis made more marked by a great dash under the ll'iismt It is just possible that Lere and there a slip of the tonguo might pro nounce Lawrence i arrett for ir'iwm Barrett but the contrary thing is quite as likely to happen and we have not heard of tlio American Barrett givp signa of making such a zany of himself as his English asso ciate That there can on tho other hand be any possibility of confounding Hie two is not to be admitted The Englishman is not only Il'isoa Barrett but he is announced definitely ns from the Princess Theater London and ns stipi orted by a special London company The pretense of conflict is mere pretense There nave been Wallacks Davenports Booths Drews and others in plenty bearing the same names and making their nubliciippeals simultaneously but it was left for Mr Il rin Barrett to evolve this original but offensive idea Mr iaw rence Barrett acted in London ithout feeling called upon to do anything of the kind It is in plain terms not only a piece of contemptible snobbishness but a studied slight to a brother artist If it was a necessary thing if tho Eng lishman's interests suflered in any way through lack of it the case would be different' but there an be no such claim It may seem a tritie yet it is about the most insufferable piece of British arrogance anil conceit just now current adelphia Telegraph and Brief Session of the Alder had a very pleasant time while in said Cyrus Lothrop who has just returned to his home in this city I am quite satisfied to come back to this country I think of allthe places I visited 1 should prefer London as a place of cities did you "London Berlin Vienna rankfort lorence Rome Paris and various other smaller places I did not visit St Petersburg as my parents and sisters met me at Berlin and together we made the tour of you visit any ot the indeed My father was the recipient of the most perfect courtesies and in this way I was fortunate in securing perhaps more de sirable facilities for seeing objects and places of interest By the way want to say one thing about Minister Phelps 1 visited the American Legation at London alone and 1 never met a man who impressed me as being more demo cratic and more thoroughly American than Minister Phelus He mates an extra effort all the effort po sibie in harmony wilh the dignity of tiis position to impress all people with the fact that he is an "Is he so He is not only pouular with Americans in Europe but he is ponular with the English people of all the literati the noblemen and ail masses like him very muc i and he deserves the popu larity for he is dignified without atlectation he is genial and always naily to do all in his power for any citizen of the United about his ourth ot July reception tell you how that story stalled His pre decessors had been in the habit or keeping open house to all on the Lourth of July and tue result was that at each of these i ecepi ions thousands of thievish persons took advantage of the oct a sion while but hundreds ot decent desirable peonle came You see no barriers intervened and the look advantage of the occasion There was no safety for silverware bric a brac pictures jewelry and the as it would be in any country at a re ception open to anybody and e' "Exactly Mr Phelps was told of this and ac coiuingly sent out announcements that he would give a ourth of July reception to Ameri cans and that all Americans desiiing to come could obtain invitations by applying in person at the Legation The result was that no had a su perb gathering of rich and poorand and there were no losses of jewels or plate reported thereat diplomatic Minister's lot is not a happy no means They are regularly besieged witli applications for aid in the shape of loans A Minister lias no money but his own to loan and the chances are ten to one fie wouldn't get it buck Then they have letters of inquiry One day 1 was at the Legation in London when the secretary received a dozen or more letters of in quiry in relation lothe Law reiice C'base Townley estate You see there are noestates in

the men who hate reached and passed middle life are too often ready to forget that this is their duty and th us unconsciously often lose the opportun ity to do great good In emphasizing this point Gov Alger related an instance of a well dressed young man who called at ins office for employ ment of any kind anti said that when such a man came to him lie got a job He remembered Ills own early struggles and his disappointmentmen he was unabe to procure from a well to do neighbor the sum of $30 to complete a small amount with hich to go YY'est and take up eighty acres of land He urged upon
