Fairtank Company, CHICAGO. A SHOPPER'S LESSON. In of Jfon- liuyur. One of those "shoppers" who seek ee rather than to buy, having kept a alesmiui of a Boston dry goods house Irairy for an hour in displaying the Iho'icest goods, at last said: "I'll tnke a Ikoin of silk." "Shall we send it to lour address, the polite Ilerk, us hv wrapped up tho purchase. I'Yoii may," said she.

without a blush. End handed him her card. Tho silk nt by messenger-boy. In however, tli(j retail dealers are tot so polite, und they are not pleased Jo show their goods unless one liberally.

With the aid of a plunk it finally rolled, barrel-fashion, to ho pavement. After a straggle it was placed on tho purchaser's door-step. The fact that ho purchaser cumo out a little later tnti kicked her property into the gut- detracted nothing from tho lesson.

ILL1AM H.CUANE without mvicfi nourish of at thu r'Jih Avenue ther.ter, New York, a new comedy, entitled. "His Wife's Father." Anything- that an actor of Mr-Crane's ability Is pleased to do. Is worthy of attention, arid the audience which came to pass Judgment on the play and players was large, fashionable, and coldly critical. At the end of the first act the opinion prevailed that the comedian had become possessed of one of the beat plays presented this season. This opinion was strengthened during the progress of the second act, and when the curtain fell on the third act there was an unanimity of opinion that in the play that bright youne woman, Miss Martha Morton, had written a work that was destined to live not only through this generation, but through many generations to come.

There was no question as to its longevity or Its success, and, in truth, there were no reasons why there should be. The morninj? aZter the production the newspapers stamped It as one ot the hits of the year. To those who have analyzed the Its sirens have become very apparent. In the first place, the play tells a good, strong, wholesome story that all can sec to their and not a few to their advantage. It touches the heart, works upon the sen- slbilltips.

and teaches a lesson that knocks door. The story outlined is extremely pimple and followed. The principal character is Buchanan Billings, who Is in the Brocury business in Harlem, and wealthy. He has an only'child, Nell, and she is the idol of his life, "You can say that she Is the apple of my eye, that I live only for her, that anything In the world she wants she can have, and that I hope never to be separated from her as long as we both live." In these words he describes his affection for her. On her part she is not unmindful of his great love, and has always been a dutiful daughter.

She devotes her life to her father, until sha falls in love with Prank Hamilton, the confidential man In his employ. Blllinjrs, who has never denied his daughter anything, consents to tho marriage, and In order to prove his affection for Nell and his confidence In Frank, gives him a full partnership In the business and becomes a. silent member of the firm of Billings Hamilton. That done, he decides to devote the remainder of his life to his little girl's happiness, and' then falls Into a delusion, common enough among- parents, that their children must always belong to them, and etui have no future of which they do not form a part. From this point Billings becomes a lovingly, meddlesome father, whose kindly meant Interferences -with the personal affairs of his daughter, and her husband make him a nuisance.

He is not like tho traditional mother-in-law In acerbity or fault-finding, he is far too good-natured to scold anybody, or to purposely raise a row about he is decidedly meddlesome, nevertheless. One.of the first things that he does is to insist up'in accompanying the young people on their honeymoon, and they ure compelled to plan an escape, which proves amusing. Upon their return he upon their living In his house, and as he has nothing to begins to meddle In the young people's domestic affairs. His whole Idea is to make Nell happy, forgetting tl thut her happiness has passed his hands and Into those of her husband. They never havp a moment nlone and they resent this.

They rent a house and keep the Intelligence from the old man until the last minute. Before h'e realizes that they have gone 'the rooms are stripped of their furniture, and as he sits down on an old box, the only thing left, and looks around at the bare walls, he presents a picture that is truly pathetic. Once in their new home the young husband congratulates himself on getting rid of his meddlesome father-in- law, but his ghost comes In the person his old servant, Matt. The servant officiously waits upon Nell, but ignores Frank, a thing that augers the young man, and he orders him lo leave the VIOUSP. Shortly after Billlnss.

A Canary.

,1 widow, opens Billing's to he has played in wrecking- his daughter's happiness, and the old man shrewdly sets about effecting a reconciliation. He succeeds and then withdraws into the background of the young people's lives, tailing Mrs. Canary to wife. This Mrs. Canary is the opposite character to that of Billings, and is well drawn.

She, too. has an only daughter, who is in love with a young man whose people ure crazy for society and appearance. -Mrs. Canary supports herself by selling fruit, and the young man is backward about marrying the little girl because her mother is "in business." The widow's love for her daughter is very strong and possesses no selfish qualities. She would give anything to make her happy, and she therefore gives up her business and retires into private life.

The young people have one or two amusing little quarrels, but, there being no further opposition from any one else, they get married in the end. Mrs. Canary gives up her little girl without a pang, and when the latter asks her to come and live ivith them she refuses, fearing that if she did she might stand in the way of her happiness. The scene where Billings proposes to Mrs, Canary is extremely amusing. He.

Intends getting her to sign a marriage f-rtiiicaia witii some business papers MARTHA MORTON, an.l then hurrying her oft to a minister before she recovers from her astonishment. Just as she is about to sign the paper Blllings's conscience smites him, and he stops her and asks her to read it. Surprise takes posseslon of her and Is followed by laughter. Billings hails her merriment with delight. I can keep her laughing, I ve got her!" lie' exclaims, and he does get her.

Another good character is that of Maynard Langdon, Billing's brother-in- law. This is a man who is a snob in. the true meaning of tho term, i He manages to dress well, spending all of his meagre income on his appearance. He goes through the world constantly look- Ing for insults, and he is forever finding them, even where none Is intended. Matthew, the old and "faithful" servant, Is another cleverly-workcd-out character.

Matt has been in the Billings family so long that he is part and parcel of it. "Make your mind easy," is his favorite expression, and if appearances go for anything he Is constantly making his own mind easy in his master's wine celJar. The strongest character in the play next to that of Billings Is undoubtedly his.daughter, Nell. She at all times has the sympathy of everybody, for her position is not at all pleasant. She Is being smothered with of her husband on- one hand, and those of her father on the other.

She is not an undutiful daughter and not an un. loving wife, and her scene where, after her husband leaves her she becomes hysterical and falls fainting to the floor, is very strong. Mr. Crane has given the play very handsome stage settings, and Its company is one of the best seen in some time. ADAM JTOLLET.

THE ARABS OF SINAI. They UrlTc Art i Uard Eat Trmtororcby. Each niffbt vre called a counci) after dinner and discussed many thinjre with our people, says a writer in Nineteenth Century. Our hunters were summoned, and, while Joseph interpreted, their swarthy faces eered throuffli the tent door into the light, and when the conference was over they received a handful of tobacco, coveted even more than food. These men were as anxious for a successful hunt as we could desiro, but their ad- rice was not always sound.

I They are like children, and think that if they have observed a -thing: once it will always recur. In my opinion, the sinister" reputation which has to i some extent attached to these Arabs of Sinai since the tragic murder of Prof. Palmer at the time of the Arabic rebellion is undeserved. They were probably induced by secret messages from Cairo to regard his to obtain camels as of, war, and they treated him and his companions they and their people have always treated their enemies. I found them trustworthy.

They drive a hard bargain, but this, ratified, the conditions are kept faithfully. Their goats tended on the mountains by the unmarried girls, a sure sign of good manners.
