(Posalble Tragedy In “Mice and Men” —A Katie Barry Yarn—Some Greenroom Club Talk, and—Sou- -venirs. Frank Moulan, who Sulus the Sultan @o happily at Wallack's, is pursued by an epistolatory Carrie Nation. She definite—instead of Kansas, and her aim ‘in Ufe seems to be to combine a tem- perance lesson with a comic opera, Her ast letter, received yesterday, contains this suggestion: Great Temperance idea. “Tt occurred to me after your cocktail cene was a splendid opportunity to preach a sermon that would get to ‘the hearts of the people more closely ‘than should it come in the usual way, and at the same time would be a benefit to the management of your company through the box-office. After you have finished your ‘R-e-m-o-r-s-e' say to the @udience: “Ladies and Gentiemen—The sosne which you have just witnessed is no Joke. Stop the DRINK habit! WHEN? TO-NIGHT! Old men and younger fools take warning, that the innocent and the weak may not be dragged down with you! STOP IT to-night when the eurtain descends on this act, and FOR- EVER after. AMEN!’ “For an encore, bring in your quartet, and sing, ‘WHDPRE IS MY WAND&R- ING BOY TO-NIGHT?’ “For another encore, come on the stage with the largest notary seal you can find, make a complete circuit of the stago with a funny walk, then strike a picture and say: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, ‘mow ie your chance to step up and take ‘the pledge.’ Then stand and hold the picture as if waiting for converts, “T know this will make a dig hit and Increase your business.” Despite prior letters of the same tenor, Mr, Moulan goes right along putting ice on his head and contenting himeelf with the single temperance iment, ‘'Hur- reh for the W. ©.

We wandered around through the Pittsburg fogs until 4 oolock in the moming. Then we turned in with the pleasing reflection that, as we were to take an 8 o'clock » ‘train for Baltimore, we would have to etise at 7 o'clock, Bell's room was next to mine, and we left the door open be- twéen them. In order to avold over sleeping we left all the window shades up and a call gor 6.80, “Promptly at 6.30 the bellboy beat on the door and roused me from a troubled gleep.

Eell, you know, before he went on the stage, was a chorister in an Episcgpal cathedral, “Bell stood in the doorway detween our rooms and looked out of the window into the driving storm beating through the smoke clouds, He had ona sult of ale pink much-rumpled pajamas, his ir was tougled and he needed @ shave badly.
