Langtry q Success

LONDON. December 16.-Tha Post says
Mrs. Langtry's interpretations fully gratified
the high expectations which had been formed.
The Telegraph says her voice has refine
ment In every note. Reviewed as a whole
her performance was a most interesting and
successful experiment.
The Daily Ners says: From first to last
the greeting was done in slovenly way.
Mrs. Langtry not only had perfect mastery
OF her words, but was able at times to fiji in
the portrait with little touches of play. Ii is
not too much to say that she promises to
grow to an excellent actress.
The STANDARD SAYS: Largtry did at least
as well as was expected.
The Times gives column TO tile appear ance
of Mrs. Lang.ry at Haymarket Theater. as
Mrs. Harfraslle, In "She Stoops to Con-
qu-r." 1t saws the representation was emf
nently successful. The audience evidently
came prepared to make every possible al
lowance. None whatever was required. The
oldest playgoers were astonshed at the ease
with which she glded Into her part, and the
felicity of her execution throughout.

Excessive capitalization Of Mines

New YORK, December l6.-The Herald
says: There ~ movement on foot In min
Ing stock circles down town for a reform IN
the present system Of capitalizing mines.
Many If the properties dealt In at the two
exchanges devoted TO dealing in mines are
admitted 10 be capitalized at absurdly high
figures, and IL is believed that the present
dullness of trade and the distrust with
which all mining enterprises are regarded
by the general public are due In a great
measure to that fact. People who notice
that certificates of the par value Of $40 are
selling freely a. q market price OF few
cents, fancy there II something irregular and
dishonest about the whole scheme and stand
aloof frem II. A bin will probably be In
troduced when the Legislature meets pro
viding for a universal system Of capitaliz.
Ing all mining properties dealt In here.
Secretary Wood, Of the Mining Exchange,
said: II cannot myself tell you the price
Of any Of tie stocks on our list, except the
California ones, which, generally speaking,
have q uniform par value Of 500. How
ever, II would not be well TO have The num-
Der of shares In any case too small Take
, Mount Diablo and Northern Belle; iiey
have each only 800 shares; the Virginia
and California have only $40 each. When
shares are 80 few, traders are afraid to sell
stock short, a. they could easily be cornerrd.
This Is disadvantage. IL Is well to have
stock sold short occasionally, rs IL helps 10
make the market. So far as lies IN its
power, The Exchange has already instituted
some reform In tins matter, and when q
mine Ii sought 10 be listed At nm extfavagant
capitalization, as for instance with 100000
shares, the committee declines to entertain
the proposition"

A Story with a Moral.
lcitrncuse Herald.

Since 1874 the county treasurer has yearly
reported that $4,000 Of county bonds then
due and on which interest had ceased, were
still unpaid. Al first no attention was paid
70 IL, hut as the years rolled on the opinion
began 10 prevail mongthose who took notice
Of the matter thai some misery fellow who
owned them bad probably hid them away
and died without disclosing their lmking
place u any one. or course every one was
surprised when they were presented last
July, and II was then discovered that they
were IN the possession Of one Of the hest
known business men IN The county, Payne
Bigelow, Of Baldwinsville. Mr.. Biselow
found them laid safely In the leaves Of his
Bible. The moral Is obvious. There is no
telling how much a man loses either In this
world or In the next by not reading his Bible.

SMALLPOX AT DAYTON.
The Disease Aba,ing in Washington Territor

The Dayton Chronicle says thai only two
new cases have developed since last Friday.
and one ~ them has since been discharged
as well, his case being the lightest form Of
varioloid. No deaths have occurred In that
time. and every patient Is rapidly improving.
There are not over fifteen cases In town and
two under treatment. The town quarantine
vas removed last Sunday, but rigid watch
Is still kept over those coming from infected
houses, and the full penalty of the law will
be the portion Of those who fail to properly
disinfect. With continued watchfnlness
Dayton will soon be entirely free of small
pox. We have no reports from Deadman
and Huntsville, but believe the situation
there 10 be equally ss favorable a. here.

A Man Fired Like a Mortar Shell
NDrrist0arn Register.


Everybody who has visited Reading from
this place knows something Of Fred Lauer
and his big brewery. Well, one of his men
had queer experience on recent evening,
having been shot out of the manhole OF a
mammoth beer vat like a shell from a
mortar. He had gone into the vat for the
purpose Of vanishing IL before 1t was sufii-
GENTLY cool. He took lamp with him, but
soon put his head through The manhole to
get little fresh air. Alcoholic gas bad been
aecumulating In the vat, which answered for
powder, the lamp furnished the match, and
John Goerne- the projectile. John was
hurled with great force through the hole at
which he was trying TO get air. When
picked up 1t was found that his hands and
tile left side If his neck were badly burned,
and the hair Of his head was nearly all singed
of. In addition to his burns he sustained
some bruises when hurled from the vat.
