Dr. Jelcyll nnd Mr. Hyde.
Tho audience present last night at
tho performance of "Dr. Jekyll audi
Mr. Hyde" was very largo vory ex-
pectant very intelligent nnd neces-
sarily critical.
Tho dramatized version of the story
is in four acts. Dr. Jekyll is ono of
tho typo of Dr Faustus wrapped up
in himself tho "direction of whoso
Bclontlilc studies lead him wholly to-
ward tho mystic and tho transcenden-
tal." He was in fact a most morhid
philosopher who could risk death to
prove tho correctness of a theory tho
theory of tho duality evil and good
of man's nature. In the play tho
grand conception of Stevenson is let
down immeasurably by making Dr.
Jekyll a somewhat ancient lover of
the nieco of Danvors Carew the latter
ol whom hemurdeis in his capacity
hs tho fiend Mr. Hydo.
Tho characters are lndeod so widely
different and tho motives of their ac
tion so unlike that tho Dr. Jekyll of
the play is practically a new creation
All this must have iraprossod itsolf
upon tho audlenco last night.
Tho Mr. Hyde of the play comes
nearer tho "troglodytlc" flend of Mr.
Stevenson. Tho trampling of the
child by tho transformed Dr. Jekyll
in tho truiso of Mr. Hydo is omitted.
an incident of tho book that was in
tended to nortrav most vividly tno
brutality ot tho monstrous creation.
nr Iha twn (ilinrnMnrn hntli liv Mr.
I Miller the Mr. Hydo was the 'better
done although tno presentation 01 tno
character failed iu a large measure to
nroduoo tho Imprcssinns ielt on tno
mind aftor roadlng the descriptions
of "Mr Hydo" by his "cieator." No
one who 1h at all familllnr with "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hydo" as it was writ-
ten will fall to understand that both
characters demand for their reproduc
tion tho most consummate and sym-
pathetic art.
The play last night was thoroforo
another thing and should be si
judged. It wont off smoothly and
oven wnn some arusuo h unity xnu
death scene in tho last act was well
worked up and Mr ..Miller's declama-
tion when pearlng tho climax was

A Fcirtuno from a Seedling.
Somo years ago a woman living near
Buffalo whoso former home was In Euclid
township was left a widow in straitened
chcum6tancca. Her only means of liveli-
hood consisted of a small vineyard. Among
the varieties of grapes was a plant that
lior husband had but recently set out as
mi experiment. Tho puny vino bore that
season but a slnglo bunch of grapes. It
Is of courso well known that grapes are
roUcd from cuttings and roots and not
fiom seed. Tills woman out of curiosity
planted tho seeds from ono of the grapes
of this ino. They sprouted out and old
so el! that tho young Ines were trans-
planted and when sufficiently developed
tore haudhomely a variety of grape that
differed radically from the original beed.

A neighboring nurseryman had his at-
tention diawu to tho now grape and

cuttings from.tho vine glvo tho vnriety

tnent rtrlbcs.
It takes twouty very zealous and cans-
ful women of keen perception great forcer
of cnaracter ana cousiuerabio ncrvo to
keep Undo Sain from fairly bolng .cheated
out of ills eyes by otner women smtii
cllnrr Is the way tho latter do It. and
I do
It well. Women llko to simigirlo. It
would scorn. They lmvo an clastic con-
science In tho matter that really Bcems to
tempt them to what Is of courso swin-
dling tho government but to themselves
an act of no special harm and of llttlo con-
sequence. Of courso thero is tho genulno
woman smuggler who knows just what
sho is doing just what trouble sho Is liable
to get into and what tho result w 111 be. It
Is business with her and sho considers it
an ordinary business risk. But sho Is
caught just as certainly as tho other llt-
tlo woman Is who doesn't think It any
special harm just to savo a llttlo by
tucking away n few pairs of gloves which
only make hir leg a bit plumper if they
don't Blip down and glvo lior a queer
shaped nnklo or tilling her corsot with
somo rare and dainty lace that If pur-
chased hero would cost a pockotful of
money on account of tho duty.
Women aro far moro wary than men In
btnuggling and their devices for bringing
lu goods of a duitablo naturo aro many.
It is usually tho caso that tho Inspectress
can tell by tho fsco and contour of tho
person. As a general rule tho woman
who has goods hid away will look tho
searcher of her lufrgairo calmly In tho faco
seldom turning away and if tho searcher
politely Informs hor that sho thinks that
sho has dutiable goods on her person she
will of course bo greatly insulted and
Invito a careful examination. Sho gets it
and a llttlo troublo lu the bargain. The
self assurance that a woman smuggler
has Is of such great quantity that It will
lead hor to do the most absurd and fool-
hardy dcods whereas if sho had less
perhaps oho would not rely so much upon
Its carrying her through and would
theroforo bo moro careful. Tho bttstlo Is
a godsend to tho womau who wants to
smuggle. Tlicy aro made largo and
roomy aro of iron fiamowork and in them
may bo safely carried yards of tho most
valuablo goods.
Tho most absurd thing for a womnn to
do who has goods hid about her perbou is
to wear a heavy ulster when It is too
w arm for one. bho will have to rofuso to
removo It when graciously asked If It is
not a bi't warm and such refusal of courso
results In a necessary in estimation on
tho part of tho Inspectress. Tho mauuers
of tho woman smuggler aro always vory
charming and therefore It Is In such a
kindly way that they Inform tho tired In
spectress that Bho is really tired and needs
a llttlo rest therefore need not examlno
their trunks as they will tell tho Inspec-
tress what Is in them and savo her bo
much est ra troublo. But sho doesn't look
at it In that light and docs Inspect tho
trunks much to the regret of tho owner.
Theso smugglers possess a quiet aud care-
less air but tho Inspectress can always
toll them by thd way they attempt to sit
down. Their bodies then havo a stiff-
ness that Is hatdly in koeplng with
tho manner In which they carry
tho head and arms and of courso they
aro immediately suspected of having
goods concealed somewhero about their
skirts. Thcrctsro many curious places of
concealment and it can hardly bo Im-
probable that many thousand dollars'
worth of dutiahlo goods aro brought
through by smart tricks. For instance
diamonds aud other precious jowels havo
beeu brought over fastened in tho front
and in tho plumes of tho bonnet. They
are generally wrapped in black cotton aud
securely fastened in sudi a manner that
it would be necessary to tal;o tho hat
apart to find them. Tho heel of tho shoe
'Isiinothcr queer but secure place whero
jewels havo been carried. Tho heel Is
false having a hollow place in tho center
whero packed In cotton tho gems rest
Bafely
Sometime t a woman Is found with loco
wrapped around her form. Yard after
jmid of it is thus securely carried until
tho oyo of the inspectress looks with sus-
picion upon tho peculiar shapo of tho
wearer and sho examines her. In the
bustles havo boon found toilet bags (Hied
with all sorts of odds and cuds Mich as
silks gloves hat frames yards or rather
uunureasoiyarasoi riubou stoeitings r
everything dear to tho oyo of tho fontalo.
To a lean woman tho curvatures In their
corsots offer a snug resting pluco for
quite a number uf dutiable 'oods that
can bo carriod safer there than almost
nnywhero else Ono woman was found
witii laco curtains pinnca unucr iter ureas
taking tho pluco of her usuul underskirts.
Silk has been fouud worn In tho sumo man-
ner and ribbon has been wound around
tho legs and body until yaid upon yard was
concealed. When a discoveiy Is made the
woman pmuggler of courso attempts a
bribe but tho 'amount Is absurd always
very much smaller than a uiun would for
a nliuuto think of offering. ' A woman
will offer tho inspectress Al and consider
it a big amount. Ton dollars would bleak
thorn all up. A man's bilbo Is huidly
ever less than $10 and frequently as high
as $50. Tlio women Inspectors will ac-
cept no such favors however. When a
woman is huspectcd tho Inspect loss in-
forms tho Kiispect of tho necessity of uu-
dorgolug Inspection aud sho is requested
to go to' her stateroom. Then bho la or-
dered to removo her outer garments then
tho bustle and if tho lUBpcctrcss con-
siders it noccssary to go further elio re-
moves tho remainder of hor clothing.
It Is said that a good deal of i.olld in-
formation regarding smngglors Is fur-
ulshed by many dressmakers. Imriug tho
season these dressmakers send their foro-
women abroad to purchaso goods. They
keep their eyes open know all tlio women
who go abroad to buy goods In the hopo of
evading duty on them and send tho In-
formation straight to New York. Another
source of Information is tho stewards and
stewardesses on tho big steamship Hues.
They recelvo a percentage on all goods
seized and they will most remorselessly
disdoso tho names of passengers who aro
smugglers iney almost always Know
