brilliant and noble and srrand, but never an actor. He could, better than any other mati In this country, show men bow to act, but could not act himself. In one of his latest and greatest plays, "Anarchy," the title ot which was afterward changed to "Paul Kuuvar," he instructed Joseph Ha-worth In what was tbe best performance of that young actor's career. Yet when, during the New York run of that most remarluible play, it became uecessary to supply Huwortb's place and Mackaye Insisted upon personating tbe hero his genius had created, his performance grieved those who held him dear. Mackaye returned to this country from Paris aud London in 173, and at once began givimr mem hers of the dramatic profession au tuKiirbt Into the mysteries and ben titles of the Uelsurte sywtem.

For years be In bored as a dramatic Instructor and playwright-. The amount of labor as a dramatist be accomplished from this time until his death can be Judced from the foPowtng list of plays, which are the children of bis brain and which were produced in the years Indicated: 173, Marriage 176, Rose Ichel 1875, "Queen and Woman;" 1877, "Won at Hast 1K7S, Tnrousrh tne Dark 1S79, "Au Iron Will;" ttvO, "Hazel Klrke 1K81, "A Fool's Errand;" 1XS4, "Dnkolar;" 185, "In Spite or All;" lfiSfi.

In 1880, as a result of Mackaye's labor and genius, the Madison Square Theatre, In New York, with Its famous double stage, was opened. It stands to-day a perfect little gem among the playhouses of America.

Mack-aye's financial associates were two brothel's named Mnllory, who were Episcopal preachers and who consented to enter the field of dramatic management by reason of the high plane upon which Mackaye was to conduct the new venture. The opening play was Maokaye's own work ot "Hazel Klrke." It ran In the Madison Square Theatre for sixteen months without a break. Atone time five companies played It simultaneously throughout the country. It has been produced more than 5.U00 times. Hut mark the lamentable sequel.

When "Hazel Klrke had become a richly paying property Steele Mackaye had lost every penny of interest in it, and wben ihe Madison Square Tbetttre became free of debt the Mallorvs were iw sole proprietors and lis orlgluutor was Bhiverlug outside. He next created the Lyceum Theatre aud the l.vceura Sobool of Acting, and It whs opeued iu 1885. It was the name old story, l-'robman, the practical business man, aud Mackaye, the Impulsive erratic, did not blend, aud as a result tbe Lyceum Is to-day one of the best paying theatres In New York, with Frohman in full control. In 1801 Mackaye for a time abandoned acting and dramatic authorship aud determined to enter Ihe held of literature, AN L'KP17ItMHIfBD TOVKI He wrote a novel of such a daring character that no American publisher would print It.

lngersol, who was one of the few In no previous year have we been so thoroughly well prepared for an active Spring business as we are THIS TEAK and at THIS DATE. Each department is replete with new goods representing the very best production of American and Foreign Manufacture. This condition of our business has only been made possible by the fact that LAST FALL WE PREPARED FOE THIS SPRING by placing orders at home and abroad and, therefore, we are now in daily receipt of new and exclusive Fabrics- -made to our express order. Our European Connections are such, that every Foreign Market is open to us and through our office in Paris and Lyona we are always informed as to the change in Style or Fabric. Wo have also the moot extensive connections with the leading American Manufacturers of the highest class of Silks and Dress Fabrics and are in a position to justify our claim of being one of the largest Importers and Dealers in High Class Merchandise.

Notwithstanding the SENSATIONAL ADVERTISEMENTS which appear in the daily papers announcing every kind of Mercantile Confusion, Changes, and Conditions claiming to sell good3 without any regard to value or profit, we are firmly of the opinion that there is only one way for a merchant to conduct his business avoid all sensational announcements, and in a dignilled mercantile manner advertise his business, adhering strictly to the truth. When we make a statement regarding a fabric or price it can be IMPLICITLY RELIED UPON and be accepted as an AESOLUTE FACT. We do NOT claim to sell goods without a profit, nor do we claim to constantly and continually offer all kinds of goods below the-cost of manufacture, BUT WE DO CLAIM AND ASSERT in tho MOST POSITIVE MANNER that we SELL EVERY CLASS OF MERCHANDISE in WHICH WE DEAL at THE VERY LOWEST PRICE Merchandise of Equal Value can be purchased elsewhere, either in PHILADELPHIA or NEW YORK. It is a mistaken idea that a firm who confines their transactions to only the highest class of merchandise, who conducts their business on strict business principles, who avoid all features of a sensational character, whose warehouse is a model of a mercantile building, whose organization is composed of the highest order of Brains, is obliged to ask excessive prices. THE TRUTH IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE; a business carefully and not extravagantly conducted every detail of the organization maintained upon the highest basis, with ample financial strength to command the markets of the world, is in a position to sell goods at the very lowest prices AND THIS WE CLAIM FOE OUR FIRM.

Our Organization is Perfect Our Building is a Jlode! of a Mercantile Establishment Our Financial Strength Commands the Markets of the World Our Stock Consists Only of Merchandise of the Highest Class OUR PRICES ARE AS REASONABLE AS THE LOWEST We are now prepared in every department to exhibit the Newest and Host Desirable Silks and Dress Fabrics for the Spring and Summer of '94.

At St. Clement's Epbcopal Church, Twentieth- and Cherry streets, tho rector, Rev. A. B. Sharp, preached last evening on Society." "Society," ho said, 'was the handing together of men for one another's good, such as upholding tho laws of the country, customs, etc ''According to the generally accepted meaning of the term, however, society is thought to be au exclusive class, made up of persons a little better than ordinary.

As a matter of fact, it may embrace not the best, but the worst, people. In society the best and the worst are seen alike. Society people do not strive for the highest good. Their aim is lower things, not necessarily the lowest things, but things that do not relate to their spiritual welfare, such as the pursuit of pleasure. Tho pleasure in itself may be innocent and devoid of real harm, but it cannot do good to any one's fouI.

Marrying tor money is another thing countenanced by society, but which is in direct violation of the law of God. "Many allow themselves to he guided by the laws of society, paying little attention to the laws of God. While the opinion of men is worth something the opioion of God is worth a great deal mere, Jt is all right to seek to ber well thought of by men, but it is much better for our luiure welfare to seek to have God think well of us.

Bt. Pauu February 25. Archbishop Ireland preached to-day In tbe Cathedral of Bt. Paul on the CathollcChurch In America. lie said the Church had under the Constitution all the rights and privileges which she desired.

The common liberty of the country was hern, and that was all sufficient. The great mass of the people of America, he added, were loyal to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and allowed the rights of Catholics. Those who refused them their rights were fulse and should not be heeded. Borne Catholics do barm to the Catholic Church by their Imprudent methods of defending her. The opposition of an existing anti-Catholic party to-day would soon die out If It were not noticed.

Catholic papers In crj'-tug out loudly against It give to it Importance and tire tbe country. It looks as if Catholics were glad to have a fight on their hands. Politics have much to io, no less with tbe defense than with tbe attack, and a supreme effort must be made by all devoted Catholics to keep tbe Church from entangling alliances with auy political party. Catholics individually are most free In their political alliances, but they must not bring the Church with them to this or that party. No oue political party in the country to-day owosorcau lay claim to alliance with tbe i'hurcb, ami it was a great misfortune for the Church were she the ally ofone special party.

Catholics belong to all parties and it In well thut this Is the ease. When American citizens vote, their basis of decision must be not the religion of the candidate, but his citizenship and his personal fitness for office. To put in office a man because he Is a Protestant is wrong; to put a man to office because he is Catholic Is wrong. The Constitution, which gives the suftraireydoen not consider a man's religion, but a man's honesty and ability. Tlie Archbishop opposed the custom of some Catholic papors to boast when a Catholic receives political honors.

We should rejoice when a good man receives honor. Protestants and Catholics must all become tbor-ovough Americans In their political act aud their civil relations, nnrt there will be more religious discord in the laud. There Is no opposition In America to tbp political and social rights of Catholics that Catholics need to notice, and. there never will be. CUILDS MEMORIAL SERVICE.

The total Income from other sources, Including Interest on bonds, dlvidendB on stock owned by the companies, rentals, was 111,086,162.67. This makes tho amount received from eleven sources $317,223,406.57, as against tbe previous year.

The amount of passenger earnings for tbe year ended June 1W-', was 866,1011,281, and of trolght earnings an Increase of nearly as compared with the previous year. Over 181)1 the Increase was about Tho total Income lor tbe past year exceeded that of the year before 111,543,115.37. These figures Indicate fair degree of prosperity and yet the results are not as favorable as they were tbe previous year, wben tlio In-dense was over the preceding year. "In considering these statistics regarding the earnings of railways," says the Secretary, "It mnst be understood that our fiscal year ends June SO, aud, therefore, tbe depression aud stagnation of business, not only In our own Htute, but throughout the country, wtll not be us apparent as they will be In tbe report of ueit year. Undoubtedly the great ds- presslon lu business has materially affected alt tn roads, and this, we is cteany shown lo some Instances by the reduction In income from transportation and in others by the absence of that Increase reasonably ex pected In the current of railway business.

Steele Mackaye was one of the most remarkable men of his It cun truly be satd of him that he was a genius, and that be was not really what tbe world calls a great man was simply owing to the fact that be was entirely too human. He throbbed so violently with natural Impulses that he was unable to control himself, und an a result his life wag one long series of grand Ideas, masterful plans, brilliant schemes, Inspired work, from all of wbich others achieved success. MucKayewas born fifty years ago In N. Y. His fattier was it lawyer, with marked eccentricities of intellect, and from him Steele that part or his namo was us-sumed, his real coguomon being James Morton Mackaye inherited a mental energy of singular force but uncertain direction.

As a lad he exhibited all the trails of the true scholar. Bfore he was fifteen years of age be was learned In Latin and Greek, a well-equipped engineer und surveyor and well versed in the higher scientific problems. A8 A BOY IN PARIS. When not yet years of age he went to Paris to study art, his ambition then soaring in the heaven of Uuphacl, and so varied were the phases or his Intellect that he accomplished some measure of success as a painter. I 'or a long time he was the prince royal in the indents' quarter of the gay French capital member of every mystic organization the leader In every mad adventure; the creator of a thousand daring uuconventionalitles.

Then and ever afterwards he had a sincere, abiding hatred of forms and conventions. He could possibly bo best described as a social Anarchist. For the opinion of the world he had notcoii tempt, an utter disregard. There was a trilling episode at, this time in his career which, while unimportant in Itself, well illustrates the thorough sentimentality oftbe man, and the manner in which be nar- rated it. tn the wciter Is tvnical nf hix i-barni lug romanticism, told it lu thiswise: A PABISIAK LOVE STORY.

"When quite a young man I for some years studied art In Paris. Uno day while walking along a narrow street In the Faubourg HU Antolne, I saw In the doorway of ft little charcoal shop the sweetest vision of feminine loveliness and 'youthful grace my eyes have ever feasted upon.
