A THEATRE WITH A DOUBLE STAGE.
A Elegant Structure Built for Comfort and
Safety.
Hartford Times. j

No successor to Hazel Kirke is yet an
nounced by the management OF the Madison
Square Theatre, New York. The curtain,
which was destroyed q few nights ago, will
equal beauty and value-$5, 900. This theatre
has recently been opened under the manage
ment Of Mr.. Steele Mackaye, and has thus
far proved great success. The theatre
seems to have been built with strict regard to
every modern improvement that could be
brought into requisition to insure safety,
comfort and convenience.
A careful study OF the best treatise on the
cubic feet OF air per hour to supply the audi
ence with perfectly fresh and wholesome
atmosphere. This amonatkear2sgiAed and
fresh atE y drive ~sses the house. Ezg6gb
numerous pipes, SO distributed that the air
enters the house without the least drau0ht or
annoyance OF any kind to the audience. The
air is drawn by powerful steam ventllatiDg
apparatus through an immense shaft from
the roof OF the house. In winter the air d
tempered by being driven over steam radia-
tors In the basement and then distributed
through nearly 400 separate pipes that enter
the auditorium through the floor and from
the front OF the stage. In summer this air is
passed over Ice and driven through enormous
through number OF small apertures under
the balconies into the auditorium, keeping
the temperature OF the house as fresh and
cool as in the winter.
Mr. Mackaye patented a double stage,
which Is two stories high and moves up and
down shaft In such wise that the moment
one elaborate set had been used 1t might
either rise or sink as the case might be. below
the normal level. and thus Rtves place to an
other set every whit as elaborate. OF course,
while one stage is occupied by the actors, the
other, either overhead In the flies or below In
the basement, is to be reset By the scene
hands.
These two stages descend Into q cellar
thirty feet deep, and otherwise OF It's own
dimensions, which was hewn for It out Of the
rock. 1t mounts up tremendous shaft, the
bottom OF which Is ia feet from it's roof.

A SAD STORY OF THE COMMUNE.
How the Wrong Man Was Convicted and
Sent to New Caledonia.
Paris Rappel.1

After the taking OF Paris by the Versailles
troops Communist officer managed to es-
cape from the burning city; Having re-.
no time to change his clothes, and was con-
seQuently obliged to wander about the whole,
day Ia kept and regimentals, with his sword
dangling at his side. Toward evening, how
ever, he fell IL with q shepherd, good natured
almost to idiotcy, and knowing nothing what
ever OF politics. The two men entered into
conversation, and at the end Of half an hour
the refugee. iacessantly haunted by the fear
OF seeing the gendarmes make their appear
ance, proposed an exchange OF costume to the
yokel. Naturally dazzaed by the splendOr
OF the other's military garb, the countryman
jumped at the offer, newer dreaming Of the
danger ne Incurred In DOMINIC his compan-
The exchange was carried out. The. two.
men undressed, redressed and parted. The.
pseudo-shepherd made for Parfe, wearing a.
blouse, canvas trousers and straw hat The,
went on minding his sheep, presenting g.
rather homogeneous aspect with the sword
hanging by his side and the crook IL. his hand.
Wnat might have been naturally expected
10 happen actually occurred. A patrol came
across the unlucEy shepherd, and asked him
Tor explanations about his costume, and those
not being deemed altogether satishctOrY, the
countryman was taken INTO custody. and ulr
MMaieiy led oil to SatoSy to go before court
martial there.
The unfortunate wretch, who had no one to
speak word ior him, either did not know, OF
vas 90 daZed that he could not remember his
his birthplace, and, in the end, was sentenced

as the man is named. was accordingly sent,
ana, by August, 1879, he bad not been par
doaed. Cne OF his fellow-convicts lately
wrote to say that "Amiot was awaiting the
termination OF q punishment which he did
not understand, and was expiating q crime
which he had no thought OF committing"
Unluckily, he was condemned for life, and

He may possibly be considered dangerous
character. Perhaps his very imbecility Is
taken for dissimulation. Be this as 1t may,

Our editorial page contains communities
ton from the pen Of Judge Campbell, which
In spirit of the utmost fairness discusses
the legal and moral phases Of the Oklahoma
question. The article will attract attention
not only because Of its candor and logic, but
Of its legal essence and historical truth with
reference to Indian treaties under the Loui.
sisna purchase.
While the EAGLE has been from principle
rs well as interest, opposed to the so-called
Oklahoma Boom our readers will bear out
the assertion that We have been very lenienr.
From the first We have never entertained q
doubt Of the ability Of the administration to
protect the Indian and restrain all schemes
and specuations based upon the capture Of
the Territory but we reiterafe few Of the
reasons why it would not be for our interest
as a people, leaving the legal and moral ques-
ton to the administration and to Congress.
The next attempt at raid will be met by
positive military opposition, and in case any
resistance is shown, in the certain loss Of life
and destruction Of property. This We have
from unden,abe authority. The military
has received its orders and four additional
mounted companies have been dispatched to
the Cherokee strip.
As TO the disastrous results upon the bor-
der counties, il successful. no argument is
necessary. That there would follow loss
Of population. and all increase by immigra-
ton for years to come, and loss Of indian
trade to border towns, cannot be successfully
denied, which would inevitably PROSTATE
general trade, depreciate property values
and close up further progress for years.
There is another danger, and an extreme
one rs We view il. u danger which logically
follows the position OF Judge Campbell, aud
that is resistance and retaliation upon the
part Of the Indians in the Territory. Once
arouse these Indians and they would not
stop with warfare upon intrudcrs, but
would furiously follow it up to the border
settlements IN Kansas. That they are al
ready in an eXcitablc condition there is no
doubt. Trouble with the Indians themselves
would mean the immediate closing up OF the
Texas cattle trade and their grazing z ounds.
If this Territory must be settled and the
Indian driyen--God knows where-away. let
those interested in the matter cease all at
tempts Of force and of numbers and appeal
TO Congress for authority.

Thanksgiving day was very generally oh
served in this section. The town seemed
like sunday, 80 quiet were the streets and so
destitute of traders. The wheat and no.
markets were for the most part deserted. in
dicating that the consumption of roast COB
blcrs was being carried on among the farm
crs in an unprecedented way. In fact in
both town aud country the day WIS given up
to family reunions and the thorough enjoy
ment Of creature comforts. We hope no
family in this city was deprived of the where

Belle Yaple who died last SATURDAY Of ty-
phoid fever. in the 10th year Of her age. She
stood up faithfully and administered to ths
wants of three sick brothers for two long
months when disease seized her exhausted
frame. and gave her as an only reward, death.
Despite the inclemency Dt the, weather a
large concOurse Of mourning friends follow

beside those OF her brother lube, who pre-.
ceded her just two weeks. She WAS mem
