are given the cue, the actors are still fur ther inspired and the reporter or @dramaf- ic critic employs ~appreciaiive' and -dis- eliminating" in addition to the adlectives we have already quoted, in the amuse- ment columns of his paper of the follow ing morning.
 As we have said, the papering system is really necessary to the introduction of a new and unknown play. whatever its merits, m large city, where the public have so many places of amusement to choose from. II the play has merit this IS the quickest way of letting the people md il out fit has not, the manager discov- CTS it all the sooner by filling his house d few nights himself, and then seeing If the play will hll u afierward. In all this there is no harm-nothing even question able
 But there are some progressive mana gers in this city whose style of 'pspering their houses IS not, in our opinion, as ht- tic open to unfavorable criticism as the plan we have described. This is illus trated at the Cosmopolitan theatre, or was last Monday night and may have been all through the week. The plan here seems to be to distribute all the admission tickets tha, can be given away. They are sent to school teachers, to restaurants, newspaper and printing offices, elevated railway stations, and m fact everywhere where there IS chance of distribution, but these tick,t, are only admission, and when the lucky fellows who have been presented with them reach the theatre, they find that every seat in the house is reserved and that they must pay quite neat little sum for chairs or stand in the crowd that fills the lobby. True, the whole audience seems to be in the lobby, and the chairs are nearly all empty, yet the gendemanly usher refers them to the obliging treasurer for q seat, and he tells them everything is reserved' by the management al so much per seat We don't like this style of .'papering' a house, and we imagine that the manager of the Cosmopolitan theatre, if he keeps il up, will learn in time what it is to be penny wise and pound fool,sh.'
 A good paper" audience don't want to be pasted or hung to the walls, and they don't want to have free tickets forced upon them. and then be required by their host to pay for the privilege of sitting down m seats which no one else wants. and which are only reserved for the flfty or se,enty-hve cents which the short sighted manager hopes some ot his in- vi,ed guests will be forced into yaying for them. The Cosmopolitan plan of paper ing has frequently been tried before, but rarely, we think, with success.

The Wrong One Answered the Whistle.

kentucky State Journal.
 A few evenings ago as Herr Hans Ya- ger was standing Tn the rear side-yard of his premises peering through the latticed gate he observed young man slowly walking to-and-fro on the sidewalk m front of the house m a way that excited his suspicious. It being dark the young man cou dn'r see the old mar, and the peculiar " meet-me" signal whistle of the former grew louder and louder. But Katrina couldn't hear il: for just then her mother was finishing a lecture to her in the kitchen the old gentleman had begun before he went out about her running out a, nights and keeping late hours. Fi- naily Hans slipped out the side-way to the front gate with the quiet and grace of an elephant with wooden shoes on and, confronting the now frightened young man, said to him:
 For why you walk mein sidewalk dis way und dot way all der dimes. eh ~
 Fear ofbeing thought thief prevented the young man from running away. so he was compelled to stand the storm, and he replied:

 Perhaps the Journal may have some readers away put among the Rockies, ol of among the palm groves of the Wesl Indies, or Tn some of the less remote az. neultural districts of our own section oI the country, who will not understand without word or two of explanation what Is meant by paperlng the house, when the term IS applied to theatres The practice, however, Is one so frequnt- ly resorted to by metropolitan managers that the most juvenile among our theatre gong population recognizes papered house al a glance; and if he has been lurcd by the splendor of the colored pos ters or the popular music discoursed by the brass band stationed on the outer balcony, into paying his quarter for ad- nilsson into house that he finds on en- tering has been filled by the papering process, his disgust and modification generally counterbalance the enjoymen, which he might have had from the per formance had the circumstances been different and the audience straight"
 The process of papering is necessary almost whenever new and unknown play IS put on the stage, unless al lcas, one of the leading roles is sustained by a great or very popular actor; and even then patches of paper are, as rule, plen- tifully applied.
 But what IS this paper, or the process of papering" Simply the liberal distri- button of free tickets among people who are likely to use them and fill the house at the initial performances of a play which, the theatre-going public who pay for their seats, knowing nothing about it will not risk A good deal depends on the way these tickets are distributed, and the appearance of the class of people who use them. IL will not do to send oat into the highways and hedges and compel the lame, the halt and the blind to come ir to the intellectual feast. That would ruiu everything. The assemblage need no, be in full dress, but it should make 2 fairly presentable appearance, so as tc impress the actors, to whom, 1t may be long arrears of pay are due, and respect able enough to permit the reporter, by { little stretch of his imagination, to say ir the morning paper that ga large and fash ionable audience greeted the initial per. fOrmance of - at the -- theatre las night etc. If the manager can secure the attendance of score or more trust worthy and intelligent fellows at ,As morning rehearsal, SO that they can lean where the applause is expected, and ther if the evening audience are properly SC leeted and respond promptly when the,

Masonic Grips.

4 brother who does a good deal of
travelling and likes 10 ''get acquainted as
he goes" says there are six kinds of Ma
sonic grips and that he has felt them all.
He humorousiy classifies them in this
way.
FirSt-The pendulum shake, where the
parties move their locked hands right
and left, illustrating the jewel of the
Senior Warden.
!SecOHd-The pump-handles shake, where
the motion assimilates the emblem Of the
Junior Warden. Now if a Mason who
is accustomed 10 No. grapples with a
Mason who has been used 10 No. . there
will be trouble sure.
ThiTd-The tourIiquet shake, where
you squeeze the right hand until the
pleasant sound of cracking follows. that
denotes a weakness III the ossitication of
your opponent.
FOurth-The melancholy shake. which
is pensive tranquil motion, suggesting
liver complaint and dyspepsia.
FUUt-The effeminate shake, which
only reaches 10 the fingers. sometimes
only to the forefinger, and makes You
think uf your maiden aunt. There is also
the anvil shake, the grip-royal, the ma
licious shake, etc.
Sictk-The cordial shake. which is &
hearty agitation of hands accompanied
by kindly greetings and certain thrill
affecting most pleasantly all the nerves
even the heart.

During the progress of a murder trial
in the circuit court at the January term
in this city, considerable difficulty was
Occasioned in the matter OF getting n
jury. One hundred and one men were
summoned from different parts Of the
county, and as each one was asked the
question, Have YOU heard or read any
account, or what purpcrted TO be an ac-
count of this matter?' the general reply
was Yes: l read the report in THE AsTo-
RIAN at the time" District Attorney
Mcbride is our authority for the state
ment that out of 10l men he asked. 50
said that they read TIE AsToRIAN. This
SHOWS that the people of Clatsop county
are a reading people: IL also shows that
they support their home paper. From
the way subscriptions having been COM
ing in since the first of the month we are
inclined 10 believe that everyone is deter
mined TO have TIE AsIoRIAN if procur-
able. Well, ''let those now read who
never read before, and those who always
read now read the more"
To our merchants whose names in our
advertising columns -3re conspicuous by
their absence, TIE AsroRIAN respectfully
suggests that an advertisement Is of value
TO them III proportion TO the amount OF
readers newspaper possesses. We in
tend 10 keep on improving our paper Just
as fast as We can. TaE Historian now
reaches three times the number of read
ers 1t did when We took charge a little
over two wears ago.

Alaska CuriOSities.

At the Office of the Astoria Packing
company is a collection of goods which is
of interest as illustrating the character
of the country and its aboriginals. Some
fine skins claim attention, notably those
of the sea otter. Mr.. Kinney has some
of these which are worth $50 apiece. and
are as fine specimens of that yalu-
able fur as are procurable. The red and
silver gray fox skins are also of value.
Wolverines. mink, mountain sheep and
white rabbits also yield their feeces to
swell the pile of costly furs. Some idea
of the possible traffic may be had from
the statement that over 100000 worth
of skins annually pass through the one
station of Chilcat.
Indian handiwork is also in abundance.
Rude carvings, deftly-made mOccasins
bead-trimmed and warm; baskets made
of cunningly-woven grass, bottles covered
with bright wicker work, fur money
purses, quantity formed bows and arrows
ETC., are among the pile, which is a curl
Gus and valuable one.
