FAY TEMPLEToS, despite the irlgld
temperature, appeared last evening at
Pixies Hall, in tho Chimes of Norman
dy,' which popular operctte was rem
dcred much better than we anticipated
by travelling company, who, Of neces-
sity, cannot be expected to furnish full
orchestra, fgurants, scenic displays,
etc. Miss Templeton looked Us fresh as
rosebud, and the silvery notes of her
rich voice conld not have been sweeter.
She evidently mashed the small-sized
battalion of young Americans who were
IN attendance, A larger audience was
present than the weather really war
ranted, evidcncing the great popularity
of the charming artistic and her troupe.
Tonight the beautiful drama, "Thc
Two Orphans will be rendered, doubt
| less, in n manner that will be- most
pleasing to the public. From what we
saw of the troupe last evening, We Judge
that they will excel in dramatic per-
formances, as its members, both ladies
and gentlemen, seem TO be good actors,
gifted with pleasing voices and ply
sique. "Fhe Irish Doctor" laughablc
comedy, was well brought ont by them
on last night. Should the night be cold
the manager intends to make arrange
ments for heating the room thoroughly
SO that the public need not fear disconl'
fort by attending.

Fashions at Mt. Desert.

At Mt. Desert, says the american
Queen, the fashion has been for some
years for the men to wear flannel shirts,
Knickerbockers, little skull-caps and q
pipe, for so seemingly necessary and
universal Is the last article that it NAV
be classed as portion of their attire;
while the girls dress in heavy short
dresses of dark blue or white flannel,
with silk handkerchiefs Of contrasting
colors jauntily placed around their
necks. This last summer. however,
the dressing has gone beyond all bounds,
and has been more eccentric than un-
conventional. The girls, who on leav-
ing for Mt Desert, told their dress
makers to send them something that
would look effective against q rock,
certainly accomplished their desires,
for the rocks and islands Of the lovely
spots are said to have resembled varie-
gated tuip-beds on afternoons of the
past few weeks. One man wore q red
and white striped jacket, and was
dubbed the animated peppermint
stick" another very short individual of
. faceti0us turn, who wore striking
costume, was called "a joke in Knick-
erbockers;" while still another Is said
to have worn white flannel Knicker-
bockers, crimson stockings. . cap 50
small as to be held in place by an elias
tic. and to have had his front hair
banged and held in place by 'front
hair-net."

Russia,s Colanizatlsa Schena.

The plan of Russia TO settle forty
thousand families In the country to tho
south of Vladiv0stok, her most South
| ern port on the Pacific coast, becomes
all the more significant when viewed in
connection with the treaty she has just
ratified. after three years of weary me-
gotiations. with her persistent Chinese
neighbors. By this treaty she has vol
UNFAIRLY given up to its former owners
the fertile province of Kuldja, or the
ancient Iii, lying directly north Of the
Kashgar Valley, and one of the few pos
sessions she had in Asia which yielded
any revenue. China thus acquires her
ancient western boundary. and her en-
pire is restored to its pristine limits. It
was eighteen years ago, at tho time
of the Mohammedan uprising,
that Kuldja was released from Chinese
hands. and for ten years past it has been
under the sway of the Russian Car.
China, by the treaty. pays some pecu-
mary indemnity, but it is little more
than fair return for heavy expenses
Russia was put to last year, and the
payment of it is extended over period
of two years, while Chinese occupation
of the province begins at an early date.
Other concessions made to Russia relate
entirely to trade. They include the
right to enter China by another passage
through the Great Wall, there having
been for Russian merchants heretofore
only one passage way in 900 years. It
does not appear, however. that Russian
trade will derive any important increase
from this second gate, which lies at the
western end of the Great Wall. To the
north of it there is a vast steppe, with
out towns and almost without roads,
while to the south extend the barren
table lands of Thibet, neither of which
countries would be of any startling
service in the development of trade.
Even the tribes that now live there have
q grim struggle for existenc and what
Russia can ind of satisfaction in this
concession for the surrender of Kuldja
it is impossible to see. Elsewhere, If
anywhere, her satisfaction evidently
must be found. She will. at least, it is
believed. obtain in China, a neutral
Asiatic power, for China, having now
acquired her ancient boundary, and al
ways unambiti0us to extend her terri
tory beyond that, might easily remain
Indifferent to Russian cOnquests else
where in Asia. 1t is perfectly well
known that for more than generation
Russia has desired on the Pacific coast
harbor that would remain open for the
year. She did not get this in Nicolai-
evsk at the mouth of the Amoor, nor
has she realized in Vladivostok, farther
south, on the Sea of Japan, what she
expected. On the Corean coast, oppo-
site Vladivostok, there is port known
as Lazareff, which would be. reports af-
firm, all that Russia could desire. Her
sending forty thousand families-the
population of small city-into that
neighborhood, makes it look extremely
suspicious whether the Asiatic eye of
Russia is not now fixed upon Corea-or
enough of it to secure the first-class
Asiatic port she so much desires.
