ment, which will BE- held on the 4th,
9Th and 9Th Of September. on the Sus-
|quehanna river, which was unani-
mously accepted, and Wednesday, the
5th of September, on which the grand
parade will take place, selected as the
day when the Post will visit them.
The routine business of the Post was
pretty well finished when an alarm
was heard at the outpost, and Depart
ment Commander Ross, whom the Post
had almost mOurned as dead one week
ago, came into the camp. He was
greeted with applause, and had scarce
" taken seat when Post Commander
Pickles insisted, on behalf of the com
rades, on his giving an account of the
seventeen days that he had spent in at
tending the Grand Encampment at
Denver, Colorado.
Commander Ross gave brief but in
teresting account of the trip to Denver
and the proceedings of the encamp-
ment, and said that after its close he,
with q number Of others, had accepted
an invitation to 60 on a four days ex-
cursion through the gorges and canons
of the vast chain of mountains that run
through Colorado.
He gave q graphic account of the
journey up and down the sides of
and described tunnel
through which he passed near the sum.
init Of peak 10000 feet above the
ocean. When the train passed through
this high tunnel, it stopped and al
lowed the excursiOnists, on the last day
of July, fifteen minutes for game of
snow ball, as the mountains at that
point were covered with snow as far as
the eye could reach. He spent one night
at Leadville, which he says is Inhabited
for the most part with a =" bad lot. "
Commander Ross showed the silver
medal which he in common with the
other delegates received at Denver, and
closed by saying, "Although we were
treated with all kindness and courtesy
and the scenery of Colorado is the most
magnificent ever saw, l told the
people would rather live in Whining
ton than Denver"
Post Commander Pickles then intro
duced Conrad Stewart, of the Soldiers
Home at Dayton, Ohio, who was pass
ing through this city on his way to the
Home at Hampton Roads, Va, where
he intends to remain for some time.
He said that there are about 1000 old
soldiers whose names are registered
at the home, 1900 of whom are now
absent, spending the summer with
friends.
The inmates are well treated, have
plenty of excellent food and good beds.
There is an opera house connected
with the Home twice az large as the
one in this city, in which perform
ances are frequently given. Any old
soldier who isunable to work, and has
an honorable discharge eau obtain ad-
mission and have IA home as long rs he

WAS IT SUICIDE!
MYvTERlOUs CASE or BURNING
OF THREE PERSONS IN
NEW JER1EY.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 6.-The mys-
terious burning Of ; Nphan, and tee
children occurred on Friday night last,
at Estellville, six miles below Mays
Landing, the county seat of Atlantic
County, and eighteen miles from this
place. The facts became known yes
terday at the railway station at Mays
Landing, thirty-six hours after the trag-
edy had occurred. 1t took place in a
settlement of thirty-seven families of
Russian Jews who were cOlonized at
Estellville, a year ago, by General Bur.
bridge. From midnight of Friday until
Sunday morning the tortures of the
mother and her daughter seem to have
been hushed up among these people.
Yesterday morning group OF them
appeared at the'depot with a wagon in
which lay the woman and girl. Both
were burned almost into unconscious
ness, and it was developed that the pur-
pose of their compatriOts was to take
them to Philadelphia hospital. Al
though none of the party would or could
speak English, it finally transpired that
on Friday night awful shrieks had heen
heard issuing from the small frame
cabin occupied by the wife and chill
dren of Ivan Wlotowiski. The hus-
ban,l had either deserted his family or
had wandered away in search of work.
The cabin was found in flames, the
|B-year-eld boy burned an armless and
legless trunk, the mother rolling In ago.
ny In the sand and the 8-year old
daughter crisped into Inconsistencies.
The mother was beautiful Jewess of
2S years. Her long black hair was
shingled over her shoulders, and her eyes
fixed in a mad delirium. She would
say nothing of the cause Of the fire and
the neighbors can or will give no ex-
PLANTATION. There are Russian Jews
from this colony now begging through
this vicinity, and their silence is in
some cases more cunning than stupid.
One of them hints that the woman
sacrificed herself while another init
mates that her neighbors lwere un-
friendly.
1t seems that many of these people
are given over to degrading supersti-
ri0ns. Their belief in witches closely
resembles the voudooism Of the ignorant
African.
Mrs. Wlotowiski, if driven to despe-
ration by hunger and thirst, did not
make her wants known to the outside

MODEM MINsTREISY.


From the Chicago Interview.
"When you want to make people 90
to see minstrel show now days you
have to give 'em something worth their
money!" said George Thatcher, of
Thatcher, Primrose & Wes,' $ ministrels,
to-day. !" have been in the business
now for twenty years, and the changes
that have taken place in the quality of
the ministrelsy offered to the public are
something astounding.
"People may say what they please
about the original style of ministrelsy
being the most popular, but it is mis-
taken idea. Why, If our company at
tempted t" give AIRY OF the Old.time
Virginny" business we would have
the audience get up and walk out of the
theatre. No, the success Of p minstrel
company depends now upon its Origi-
nality and brightness
Some years ago any sort of minstrel
show could make money. The majority
of companies consisted of four or five
singers, middle man, and two end
men, and the whole town would go to
see them. Salaries and prices were low
then, and good men could be got easily.
Now a good company goes out on the
road at an expense of $500 to $500 day,
but the BUSINESS that it is done now is
proportionately larger than it used to
be.
Yes, the public must have some
thing good. Up to six years ago a
man could take minstrel show into
the smaller towns, consisting Of three
or four artists and thirty or forty
supeS, and could pack the house. If this
is done now. however, nobody goes after
the first night, and the thing is fail
ure. The day Of dummies is forever
past, but minstrelsy is gro wing rapidly
in popularity, and l expect in few
years companies will be organized on
a more gigantic scale than ever before.
You see 1t pays the best of anything
on the stage. The salaries we pay
range all the way from $25 to Sl25 a
week and board and all travelling ex-
penses paid. A good minstrel man
makes far more money than the average
dramactiC actor.
think the best negro comedian
ever knew. was poor Charley Backus.
He was the most original and the fun
niest. I'll Ell there's Birch Brewer and
Eph Horn the last was one of the
wittiest men ever met. He was witty
on the stage and witty in bar.room !:
rather more witty off the stage than on
it, in fact. Charley Backus was good
anywhere. If man has any talent at
all in our business he is allowed to eX-
temporize. The sort Of wit that comes
pat off mans tongue on the spur Of
the moment is generally recognized as
= !ch by an audience and appreciated
by them accordingly. A man with
sharp wits and ready tongue, as a rule,
can command bigger salary than a
first rate vocalist who is intellectually
stupid"
