WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The faces
of the committee appointed to squeeze
the departments are very long. The
officers, sub officers and clerks do not
come down. They won't subscribe.
They say that they have little to ex-

from Cleveland. Besides, they rea-

way. and they don't want to put their
money where it will benefit no one.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The market was sur
prisingly strong, despite the general feeling
at the opening OF depression for the first
quarter Of an hour. Shortly after opening II
rally came on reports that the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy would join the alliance
and matters be harmonizod for thirty days ut
least.
The prominent bidders were Johnes and
Dickinson. There is little faith placed in the
market holding. Most of the talk yesterday
showed that lower market would open this
morning. The Oregon Trauscontincntal
statement was the main topic Of discussion
and gave very little information to base any
= Intelligent estimate as TO the yaluo OF the
stock, and nobody seemed anxious to buy any
of 1t. Estimates as to the value of it ranged
from % to 80.

had suspected that there was going to DO
display of high life costuming during the
interim between the acts, for the floor Of the
aisles had been covered with polished boards
from the entrance doors to the place where
the footlights ought to be, and whole new
artificial stage had been put in, composed
also of finely polished wood. It was crafty
ing to see this high life portrayed on the
stage, because the tourist has so little chance
to really see the thing itself.
Then commenced an entertainment of pos
ing which lasted full thrty-ive minutes and
irresistibly fascinated the beholder while it
was unquestionably monOtonous. An Ameri-
eau audience would have tired of it in five
minutes, but these Jsps like nothing better
than to sit idly all day watching and listen
ing, even though the performance be tedious.
Now IL was all acting, with no dialogue. Oc-
oasionally another stage character would
make his entree. passing down through the
audience along the prepared floor in the
aisles.
After time the everlasting posing was
varied by moro general pantomime per-
formance An actress came in, dressed SO as
to look like q carrot, and lay down on tho
floor. Then in came another, dressed like -
rat, and proceeded to nibbe st the first. Sub
sequently little boy skipped in upon the
bldSp Nipii paper dDOut
three feet in diameter, which he tossed upon
the floor, and then retired few feet while n
couple of actors essayed to lift the same.
Then the leading actress did some spirited
posing behind score or so of tame-looking
masks, which were successfully handed her
by two little boys who squatted on the stage
in full view of the audience. Her face was
extravagantly powdered, but in obedience TO
q strange custom which prevails among the
sex here, couple of streaks Of natural flesh
color were left on the neck behind. as if to
advertise to the spectator that the white was
artificial. At length, having finished her long,
monotonous exercise, she loOsened her outer
robe, and a curtain suddenly rose out of her
garments behind while her back was turned
to the audience, and she retired behind this
SCREEN which Immediately flew into tho
proper place for a scenic drop. 1t was II
clever, and to me. novel stage trick and YVES
doubtless accomplished by couple of SUPER
numerares, who stood near by, and as in
!errud attached wires or cords to the curtain
whlle 1t was concealed in tho robes OF the po-
sousc.
Tho next scene contained another almost
as rapid transformation. The stage was set
with crude looking cherry trees IN full
bloom. 4 tiny dwarf came out and danced
awhile with such ease that | was confident
there was no deception, until suddenly she
sprung with bound out OF her plain gar
monts and stood full grown woman, her
tall, quocuiy figure robbed gorgeOusly. /
