Eclipsed Henry Irving.
London, Liec. 5. With V"ednesday
afternoon's revival of "As You Like

said to have eclipsed Sir Henry Irving.
Never before has London seen such
staging and accessories. The surprise
of the production was the great suc

to be the best ever seen in London.
Ellen Terry Needs Hest.
London. Dec. 5. Ellen Terry has
abandoned any intention of appearing)
in "Richard HI" when produced at the I

ion that Irving has never been seen to 1
less advantage than in the character ot
"lachimo," even when his performance
of "Macbeth" is remembered.
EPIGRAMMATIC SLANG.
Phrases That Are Common In Cheap New
York RestaursmtB.
Special. Correspondence.
Nf.w York, Xov. 16. Tho recent
epidemic of Trilby ism has even pene
trated the recesses of the Bowery. To
day in tire "Deaneries, " or cheap res
taurants, along that noted thoroughfare
the up to date form of order for pigs'
feet and mashed potatoes is, "Trilby for
one; Little Biilee on the side." Thus a
graceful tribute is paid to tho dreamy
model's paditl extremities, while the
meuiory of her sweetheart, or "mash,"
is also sympathetically kept green.
Those humble hostelries have always,
however, been famous for tha quaint
and picturesque Ian pus are of their serv
itors, and the expression quoted above
is not the wisest or wittiest of their
fliKhts cf fancy.
For example, a foreigner, or, for that
matter, almost any Gotham ite residing
out of the lower wards of tho city,
would be greatly perplexed at hearing
an order given for "a cup of coffee on
stilts." But it merely means that a gen
erous portion of the beverage is to ba
permitted to overflow into the saucer
after the cup is filled. Again, when
poached fggs, with their bclging yel
low centers, are sought for a customer,
the request to "blind both eyes " seems
to convey the requisite information to
the coaic.
"Fry two, rock two to sleep and turn
two nvtr" expresses in a light and play
ful manner tho fact that two eggs are to
be fried on one side, two more to be
scrambled and f-till another two to be
cooked on both sides. A fried beefsteak
with onions is designated by this rather
startling formula: "Slaughter in the
pan. Shipwreck it." Thereby due and
proper cognizance is taken of the san
guinary color of the meat, while a halo
of high poetic fancy hovers around the
curled up edges of tho slicad onions
which are made to suggest tho tumbling
breakers on the shore.
Of course it would be an almost end
loss task to follow tip these verbal va
garies of the "Deanery" waiters. It is
sufficient to remark that they are al
ways original and amusing, sooner or
later making their way from one end of
the country to the other. In fact, this
class is as much aKew York institution
as Central park or the Bowery itself,
and in their way are perhaps the most
prolific coiners of epigrammatic slang
phrases in tho world.

A ROW IN THE FAMILY.
Thrashing the Children Delegated to
the Older Son.
The 14 j'ear old son of William White,
a carpenter at 212 Monroe street, was
badly beaten by an elder brother this
morning, and altogether it caused such
a commotion in the neighborhood that
the police were summoned. No arrests
were made, however.
It seems that young White had re
mained away from school one day this
week and the father found it out.
The boy is a brother of Frank White
who has been in jail several times for
stealing, and when the father found out
that the boy had not been at school, he
immediately said that the boy had re
mained out for the purpose of stealing
what he could find to steal.
Th.is the boy stoutly denied and he
was supported by his mother, who said
he had remained away for the purpose
of going to a show.
The father would not accept that
statement, and told his 20 year old son
to take the boy down cellar and give
him a whipping.
This the older boy. Will, started to do,
but the boy resisted, and there was a
scuffle. The boys were in the sitting
room when the scuffle began, and it was
in the hall that the hardest of it was
fought. The young boy was thrown
down on the floor and his head struck
the door in such a way that his ear was
badly cut and partly torn away from
his head.
It was about here that the husband
and wife joined into the quarrel, and
soon there was such a noise that the en
tire neighborhood was aroused and the
police sent for.
Sergeant Donovan and Officer Pear
sails went down and quieted it, but
made no arrests.
EASILY BROKEN RONE.
A Young Man's Arm Snaps in an Un
expected Iilanner.
T. II. Devlin, a young man 18 years of
age who is employed at the Santa Fe
shops in this city, had his arm broken
yesterday afternoon in a peculiar way.
A fellow employe accidentally ran
against him. striking his arm below the
elbow, and though the force of the col
lision was but slight. Devlin immediate
ly discovered that one of the bones of
the arm was broken.
A few daj s ago, however, young Dev
lin had the same arm caught in a belt
on one of the machines at the shops,
and severely wrenched. He felt no es
pecial pain, and thought no more about
it at the time, but it is now supposed
that the bone of the arm was at least
partially fractured when caught in the
belt.

N. Y. Stock Letter.
New York. Dec.
The stock market maintains the under
tone of strength Which, has characterized
it most of the week. It is worthy of note
that the transactions in bond department
of the stock exchange yesterday exceed
ed $2.30U!.m. par value, making the largest
day' s record since tiie cuimiiuuion of the
activity which followed the November
election. Of yesterday's firianeial devel
opments it is worth norma: that the ion
don money market supplied with fun Is
from this c n 1 er is beiindn to show a
most happy ease. It is not considered
improbable in well informed banking cir
cles that a new supply of Furopean cap
ital may be directed into American in
vestment to an extent which will replace
any vacuum made by British withdraw
als or i mi iff ere nee. A local development
to which Wall street is inclined to attach
sig-niheunoe was the declaration yester
day of a dividend upon the preferred,
stock of the Southern Railway company.
3n the northwest there is a steady im
provement in the control of rate tariff
and the only drawback to bull specula
tion in the greater stocks is the neces
sity for patience pending the revival of
west bound tariff which may be regard
ed as an inevitable event of the new year.
There is an undercurrent of speculation
favoring the industrial stocks except pos
sibly Sucar, which, is apt 10 suffer from
the "sentimental influence of the assemb
ling of congress.
