Kirmess Repetition.

That Delightful EntertaiOment to be
Given at the New York Metropolitan
Opera House for the Benefit of the
Skin and Cancer hospital.
Last year several ladies connected with the
New York Skin and Cancer hospital planned
and successfully carried out for its benefit an
interesting entertainment having the Dutch
Kirmess as its model. Delmonico kindly
furnished them the room, but SO much inter-
est was excited in the affair that many were
turned away from the door unable to gain
admittancs. This year it was determined to
find some plsce large enough to aceommo-
date all. The new opera house proved the
most attractive, for besides giving plenty of
room, it was thought the boxes would be
available for many desiring quietly to look
on and enjoy the gay scene. The parquet
stalls will be hoored over on q level with
the stage, on which handsome
Arcadian scene will be set. The building
will be beautifully decorated with flowers.
The floral temple will be presided over by
Nine. Christine Nilsson surrounded by her
| friends There will be ten other booths
representing different nstionalities, namely
| italian, Spanish. Chinese, Russian, French,
| Hungarian, Turkish, Gypsy and American.
| All the booths will be of rustic design except
| the Turkish which will be a tent, and in
| conception and decoration be like those seen
| at outdoor fetes on the continent. They
| will be handsomely decorated.
| One of the most charming features of the
| childrens entertainment will be the fancy
dress dances by children. Professor Carl
Marwig has been teaching them for many
| weeks, and they already acquit, themselves
admirably. The childrens orchestra too will
be novel and delightful part of
| the afternoon entertainment. 1t will num-
Der fourteen performers, being sons of
leading members of the Philharmonic society
and other well-known artists of the city. A
| separate room has been allotted for the
children's shows, etc.
| At the evening entertainment for the old
| err folks, six countries will be represented
| by dances. The scene will be opened with a
procession of Andalusians dancing the Span
| ish quadrilI0 to The music of guitars and cas-
tanets Peasants of Normandy will appear
on the scene, in wooden pattens and pictu-
| resqne dresses, dancing an old fastened con
ira dance. With the Tyrolese will be heard
the zither.
Well known ladies are interested in this
entertainment and friends may be sxpested
from Boston, Washington and many places.
Among those who have given their names to
the work may be mentioned: Mrs. William
Aston, Mrs August Belmont Mrs w. K.
Vanderbilt. Mrs. Buchanan Winthrop, Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Mrs. Adrian Iselin, jr.,
Mrs Percy R. Pyne and many others.
Tickets may be obtained from Mrs. Rich
ard Irwin, jc., 10 West Seventeenth street;
Mrs Arthur Dodge, ~ East Thirty fourth
street; Mrs. L. Duncan Buckley, East
Thirty-seventh street; Mrs. William Scher-
merhorn, 40 West Twenty-third street; Mrs.
G. 81. Fox IS East Thirty-irst street, Miss
Cockcroft 147 Madison avenue; Mrs. John
Lowery, 314 Fifth avenue.

The .JeweIry Thefts.

The Mysterious Return of n Watch
More Property Returned - Gambling
and Honesty.
Another diamond stud was secured by the
police yesterday and returned to Gen. Ford,
making $500 or 5000 worth of the stolen
property thus far recovered. Most of this
was recovered by the police. The watch, which
was sent to the store, was gold watch and
was brought to the store by little newsboy,
who said it was given to him by man to
leave there The boy did not know who
sent him or where the sender would be likely
to be found He met the man on the street
ALI of the watches or diamonds as far as
known went to pay debts, most of which
were gambling debts. The police brought
back to the store yesterday one watch and
diamond, which had been got out of q cele-
brated policy shop here where they had been
put up for a stake of $50. The
police have been pretty successful in recover
ing the property, and those who had come
into possession of it through negotiations
with Dart and Spaulding seem to be anxious
to get out of the scrape as quickly as pos
sible large part of the missing property
is as yet not received, but some is distantly,
heard from. The unfortunate Spauldings
engagement with Mr.. Ford was to have
terminated, according to agreement, on the
Sd of last January. General Ford when
asked in regard to the engagement yesterday
said: ssWhen he came back to me last fall he
was tired out and discouraged at his inability
to get employment and was entirely out of
funds, and pleaded earnestly with me
to make a place for him and
give him employment. had no
opening and it was more as an act OF friend
ship and Kindness that gave him position.
1 did not know of his gambling or pecula-
tions in Chicago He was faithful to me till
after the LIST of January. 1 felt an interest
in his welfare and endesvored to get him
position with an important manufacturing
establishment, in which I should have sue
ceeded had there been any chance for va
cancy. He was absent from the store for
some days trying to get an engagement IN
Taunton Mass. and was absent also In New
York for the same purpose. In this he
failed. He stayed with me for nearly three
months after our engagement was up, as
wished to give him a lift till
he could find another place. He
claimed to receive assistance from home, also
a large dry goods house in Troy. he told
me if 1 would keep him along for a few
weeks more that he then could get employ
ment at STEMS jswelry store at Saratoga
When he returned last fall, detected over his
vain quest for employment, and although not
really requiring any more help, yielded to
his importantly and took him and he was
very industrious and had remarkable fac
ulty of setting himself to work at something
useful"

swamp Fever at Panama.


'Our 500, 600, 900 has been spent in estab-
fishing homes for the engineers and working
men along the route of the Panama Ship
Canal" said Captain James Whitbank, who
has been for more than a year engaged in
dredging operations on the canal. and who
has just returned home after tough tussIe
with the dreaded swamp fever.
"Plenty of money there, then, captain?"
"Oh, plenty. There is only one thing
more common than cash, and that is death.
Men die like the leaves in autumn. Only the
Italians appear to live. The dead are dis
posed of without cereGony. A shallow
grave, no prayers, and all is in moment for
gotten. There are now Is 900 men at work
on the canal, mostly negroes from Jamaica
and the French West Indies. These negroes
are brought over in droves as fast as those at
work die, and venture to say that not two
thirds of the Is, 900 laborers now at work
will be alive year from now. It's dreadful
Five thousand died during the past three
months; but the large pay tempts men to
brave all the danger. The company appears
to have an unlimited supply of money, and
pays off every two weeks.'
''Wbat progress has been made in the four
years?'
"Well, two miles and half of the canal
property has been dug out. Originally this
section was dredged to a depth of fourteen
-O0~S 49, AS' SA-J
swamp lands pressed down By the weight of
the dirt thrown opt on either side, filling in
the canal from underneath. A great deal of
work has, however, been done with the great
steam shovels in dwelling the high lands
through which the canal is to pass, and
dredging will soon be started in those Sec
tions. Work is now progressing upon the
only large mountain which bars the way of
the canal from ocean to ocean. This mountain
is 400 feet high and nine miles in cireumfer-
ence, and is to be cut down with steam
ploughs and carried away. The company has
been compelled 10 spend $50, O0O, 900; as
said, to locate homes through the swamps
from which as basis the work of digging
ont the canal can be carried on. This work
necessitated the building of railroad branches
into the swamps and the making of solid
foundations with stone and gravel, hundreds
of feet wide and miles in extent. Iaborers
get % day, and skilled mechanics and
| bosses from 800 to $3.50 month"
'Win the canal ever be finishedPn
Not, 1 think, unless the swamp sections
are constructed with piling, and that would
| cost SO large an amount of money that the
scheme could not possibly pay. Bnt the
company appears to have all the cash necessa
81 to carry on the work.
