"Minnie baa met with liberal patronage," saia tbe lady, "and nas made an eu viable impression upon London play-goers.

But her life is made a perfect torment by the method of ber manager, a man named Rogers. In a weak moment my daughter was led to sign a contract with him covering five years, and since then despite her popularity with the public, sbe baa scarcely known a moment of peace or comfort. This Rogers has alienated Minnie's friends, exhibited and advert! sed her like a cbeap side show, and causey! her no end of trouble. Unfortunately, the terms of the contract are such tbat it can not be broken, and there is no means of redress.

Probably the roost persistent case of backing known in theatrical affairs is afforded by J.

M. Hill, wbo made the prosperity of Den-man Thompaon. Hill was a speculative business man in Chicago, and be bad a mortgage on a variety theater in which Thompson was playing. He saw the actor In his sketch, and took it into his head that he could be made a profitable star. So he had the sketch written out into about the worat play tbat ever was seen, and sent Thompson out with a company.

Well, they lost Just before tbey played to a single house that paid tbe running expenses of tbe day. But Hlli is a stubborn roan, and he felt sure be had something In hand which ought to pay. So he Joined tbe company himself, took it to San Francisco, hired a theater outright, slapped a full-page advertisement into all the papers, and sat down to wait. People benan to come, slowly at first, and then in larger until, before a fortnight was over, the piece whs being played to full houses. Then Hill came over to New York, took the Fourteenth-street Theater, then thought to be dead and gone, and repeated his California tactics.

From that moment Thompson was a paying star, and before be parted company with Hill the partners had each cleared more than 100,000. Advertising enterprise has Its disadvantages as well as its advantages. A few months ago a melodramatic combination appeared at one of our Western theaters. The manager of the theater bad been approached on several occasions by the solicitor for an enterprising safe firm with the request that the name of his concern be palntod In large letters on the first safe, which, as a bit of stage decoration or as a necessary property, would be Introduced. Learning from the stage manager that a safe was a prominent feature of one oi tne scenes in tne play to be produced, the manager instructed bis scenic artist to label it with the name of the aforesaid firm.

and be sent a batch oi paaaeir to its members. He wanted a small safe for his office.) The flrat night found the firm and all its em ployes, with their femaleappendicea. presenL when tbe curtain rose In tbe third act of the melodrama, the safe, with Its glaring sign, was the most prominent feature of the stage setting, and Joy was depicted on the coantenanron of tbe venders of that particn lar make. But tbls Joy was but shortlived. aiasiaiasi tie aiaiogoe became ominous in its unmistakable suggestion of a burglary.

It was evident, by the expressed and implied reliance placed upon the absolute security of the safe, that It waa to prove no ob.tucle to the villainy of the villain. The poor fellows In tbe audience, wbose names, glaringly rubricated, stared every one In the face, began to get very une But there was nothing to be done. The play went on. and the whole audience was treated to the sight of tbe cele brated Blank Burclar-proof Safe broken open and rifled of Its contents In forty seconds by th watch.

A FOUNT OF YOUTH. This Time It Is a Patent Wrinkl -oyer," Strictly Scientific. Chicago Tribune. Da. The long list of devices for preserving and heightening the beauty of the human counte nance has received a curious addition in an Invention based on the old and well-known principle in physic tbat air presses equally in all directions, or.

In other words, tbat nature abhors a vacuum. This new Invention Is called a "wrinkle destroyer." Any woman wbo will add it to her repertoire of toilet artloles.it is claimed, can not only success fully squelch every budding wrinkle or lnsin onting crow's-foot, but can also coax to her cheeks a natural and healthy rose-bloom long after nature has ceased volnntarily to supply It. The "wrinkle destroyer" 1 extremely simple In Its make-up and use. It cifhslsts merely of a rubber tube about two feet long, one end swelling Into a hollo sphere like that on an ordinary rubber syringe, while the other end Is attached to a piece of metal shaped like a bell. With this instrument a sulferer from wrinkles is able to treat herself with little effort or Inconvenience.

Tbe mouth of the bell, which has about the diameter of a silver dollar, Is first pressed tightly against tbe cheek, squarely over a wrinkle, and the rubber at tbe other end of the tnbe is squeezed by the band, tbe air es caping through a valve that open outward. The removal of the hand from the rubber ball admit a rash of air from the bell, and the skin underneath feels the Influence of a partial vacuum, all its little air and blood-ves sels expaoding. The application of this skin exerciser once a day Is supposed to be enough to keep any woman's face ever fresh, smooth and handsome. The owner of the Invention claims that several Chicago society- women are already greatly Its debtors. "'It cant do the skin any barm," says the owner, "and I have yet to find a-single woman wbo would do without It after, once trying it.

No musician of th prevent time In Cincinnati la so mncb befora the public In one capacity or another a Mr. Michael Brand. Hi musical career bas been Identical with the Interests of thaclty ncsrly all bis life. and to his Individual efforts the city owe mnch. As a musician be bas broad, liberal views Joined to tbe best possible knowledge of what la worthy of acceptance.

Although being an excellent violinist, and possessing an accurate acquaintance of the valne of every orchestral instrument, the instrument of his choice Is the violoncello. As 'cellist be ranks first In this eonn try to-day. Hi playing la marked for beauty of tone, breadth and dignity of style. These qualifications render bim a powerful acquisition in the interpretation of chamber music. As an orchestral conductor he also enjoy no doubtful reputation.

He ha been identified with tbe Cincinnati Orchestra since waa one of the first to place his name npon the Philharmonic list. Born in New York January of 1849, he is now thirty-five years ot age, with the best years of his life before bim. The May Festival. Yesterday afternoon tbe May Festival Board of Directors held a meeting in which something of importance was transacted in connection with the coming season and for the Festival of -Tbe services of Mr. Theodore Thomas have been retained.

His letter of acceptance has arrived. He states among other things thathe will make no concert tour daring this year, and this lets ns fall back, as is desired, upon our own resources for "The Messiah" performance on Christmas Nlgbt with tbe. Philharmonic Orchestra and tbe chorus and American soloists. Important things are in prospect for the chorus, as it is tbe Intention to Inaugurate a series of choral concerts during the season of 184-5. These will be given in connection witb the Philharmonic orchestra which will number at least sixty men.

Something deflnlnte will be known It Is thought the latter part of this week con cerning the music for tbe next Festival. It is believed that, as before suggested In the Es- 0.UIRER, Handel's "Judas Maccabeus" will be the oratorio for the evening devoted to tbat composer. Tbe Intended departure of Mr. Arthur Mees for Europe for an extended visit disturbed the board not a little, as they saw no one else to wbom tbe trust would be acceptable and in whom they could place confidence. On tbe strength of a resolution paaaed by the board Mr.

Wulsln, tbe Secretary, sent the following letter to Mr. Mees: Cincinnati, June 20, 1884. Dear Mf.es: I am Instructed by tbe directors of the May Festival to tender yon the position of chorus conductor for the festival of 1880, under tbe direction of Theodore Thomas, with leave of absence till November 1, 1884. to go to Europe. The directors are aware of your plans for a prolonged stny abroad; they ask you to surrender these and Join with tbem in systematic work, whereby our chorus can during the next two years be carried to a higher degree of perfection.

Tbey believe that oar present chorus, and In Cincinnati, the elements are at hand which, under your training, will secure for the chorus work of tbe Cincinnati Festivals so high a place as to make the work here a standard for choral training In the country. To secure this end the board pledges yon its earnest support. Sincerely yours, LtrciRN Wclsin Secretary. The following day he received the answer tbat was read at yesterday's meeting, as here appended: I Friend Wvlsin: Your note of the 20th InsL, Informing me of the action of the Board of Directors of the May Festival Association In tendering me the position of chorus conductor for the Festival of 1886, under the direction of Theodore Thomas, is at hand. I need not tell you how hard it is for me to think of giving np the long-cherished plan of spending a year or more abroad, for you know tbat 1 looked forward to carrying It out with the most pleasant anticipations.

Now, however, I suddenly find myself placed in the position to choose between following my own wishes and making a sacrifice at the request of the board. After serious reflection I consider It my duty to do the latter, and accept tbe position. As to tbe matter of providing systematic Instruction let me make a suggestion. I think singers with good voices might be Interested and induced to become permanent members of tbe Festival Chorus and tbe present members much benefited If opportunity wore given them to receive general mnslcal instruction and. vocal training such as ran be Imparted In classes.

I am not only willing but anxlons that snob an arrangement should be made, and will be glad to devote my time and energy toward carrying It out. Please thank the board for the confidence which they place tn me. I appreciate It highly. Yours sincerely, ArthfkMz, This correspondence explains Itself and satisfactorily disposes a problem that promised many difficulties of successful solution. Should tbe ideas expressed by Mr.

Mee be carried out the May Festival choros will receive an impetus that will soon place it Immeasurably above other similar organizations. It will be a free schooL Mnsle In Zanesvtlle.

The historical review says the first white voyager were Jas. McBride and a party, who In 1754 descended the Ohio past this point to the Kentucky River. Next came India traders, in 1787, wbo gave suoh flatter ing accounts of the country on their return to (forth Carolina as to start Daniel Boon In this direction w.ith a set tling party two years later. The explorers reached Lexington in 1771, where tbey all managed to get slain except Boone, wbo returned to North Carolina. On April 7, 1786, General Putnam and forty-six men arrived from Boston and pitched camp and cleared ground where Marietta now stanas.

This waa the first settlement in Ohio. In tbis year, also, Benjamin Stites, of Redstone, en the Monongahela, went to New York with a view to purchasing from Congress, for himself and other, tbe tract of land lying between the Big and Little Miami Rivers. "On being introduced to John leve Symmes, then a member of Congress, he represented to him character of the Miami country, and solicited his influence and co-operation In effecting the purchase." Mr. Symmes took interest enough to come West on a tonr of Inspection, crossing tbe mountains and descending the Ohio as far as Louisville. "Upon his return the contemplated purchase was made In his own name.

The tract contained one million acres." Set tlers were obtained from New York and New Jersey, the Rev. John Gano, of New York, leading one party, and John Cleve Symmes tbe other. Rumors of Intended slaughter by the Ohio Indians led to a holt on tbe Ken tucky side, near Maysvllle, where, "after a consultation, twenty-six persons, comprising Major Ben Stiterf, Hes Stites, Elijah Stites, Jobn 8.

In February, 1789, Judge Symmes with a party and some troops went to North Bend, and, laying out a town on a large scale.offcred large inducements to emigrants, but without success. Tbls spring Indians began to be troublesome, stealing horses, maiming cattle and killing a man occasionally.
