The Olympic.

Mr.. Pat Conley, the enterprising proprietor
of the Olympic theater and his sffable cola
borateur, Mr.. Edwin P. Hilton have, by their
hberality with travelling combinations sue
eeeded in booking for their coy little thea
ter some Of the very best companies now on
the road. The appearance here next week
Of the famous Dayene 81 Austin allied attrac-
tons, Capitolia Forests Novelty combina-
ton and Nile. Lotto's European Burlesque
company, will be a load stone of sufficient
magnetic propensity TO crowd their popular
house at every performance. The triple com
pany Is the largest com bination of any kind
now travelling and numbers in its ensemble
some Of the most celebrated specialists and
burlesque celebrities of the age. Notable
among the specialists are the celebrated
French troupe Davene whose marvellous
trapeze feats were for three years the prinei-
pal feature OF the Barnum show, and were
for several years the reigning sensation Of
all Europe. Miss Capitolia Forrest, hither-
to known as a skipping rope artistic, has by
her superior ability developed one
of the burlesque celebrities now before
the public and bids fair to rival
all our mature burlesque stars. The enter
tainment opens with first part which will in
4 point of originality and novelty excel any
thing Of the kind ever seen in this city, a
superb olio, in which will appear the great
Davene family. Mile. Rene, transformation
dancer, making ten complete changes of cos
tunes while on the stage. Mr.. Joe Hart, the
master banjoist. The troupe Of eight lady
Swiss bell ringers and lady troubadours.
The mammoth combat song and dance by
ten young ladies, which is entirely new and
never before seen in this country. Ten
ladies in serio comic songs. A grand ANA
zonian march by thirty ladies, broad sword
combat drill, and many other novelties,
closing with Mile. Lotto's spectacular bur
lesque, introducing the entire aggregation .
That the engagement viii prove to be the
most successful ever played in this house is
a foregone conclusion. Matinees viii be
given Wednesday and Saturday, while the
prices win remain the same as last week.

THE GLOBE AHNU1LREYIEW.

Every year since its existence the GLOBE
has issued, on the 3lst of December, an an
nual review of the trade, growth and progress
of st. Paul for the year just closing. These re-
views have had feeble imitators but no rivals,
and the only hampering has been the lack
of mechanical facilities TO meet the popular
demand for extra copies of the publication.
During the past year the mechan-
been made superior to those of any other
paper west Of Chicago, and a magnificent
new building, erected expressly for the
GLOBE, which will be occupied before this
publication, will make the GLOBE equipped
equal to any paper in the United States, and
at an expense only INDUCED in by the lead
ing and most thoroughly established journals
Of the country.
The great advancement of the GLOBE in
1884, which places it upon such a magnifi-
cent footing, is simply commensurate with
the great advancement of st. Paul, and an
effort will be made to furnish an annual re-
view of which every citizen can be proud.
The size of the edition both in number of
copies printed and in the number of pages
used, depends entirely upon the de-
mands of the business public. The GLOBE
can meet any demands upon its space that
can be made, but in preparing for so great
an edition as is sure to be made, some time
must be allowed for arrangement, and those
who would secure choice locations for their
advertising announcements should apply
early. The first applicants can, of course,
have the choice, and the GLOBE trusts all of
its friends, which comprises the entire pub
lie, viii aim to be first in securing advertis-
ing positions.

A Bloody Tragedy.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 13.-Facts are
learned this evening Of bloody tragedy that
occurred shortly after midnight last night,
at the insane hospital in the state penitenti-
airy. At the hour named John Mason, a con-
Wet, who had been con sidered harmlessly in
sane, arose and securing heavy iron poker,
went into an adjoining room, where his fell
low patients were sleeping. Approaching them
he dealt one Charles Signor three terrible
blows over the head, breaking the skull over
each eye. He then struck Louis Hoelseher
five times, making fracture of the skull five
inches long. Then passing quickly to an
adjoining ward he attacked Any Allisons,
colored, another sleeper, cutting him in the
head and face and severing an artery in the
head. At this juncture an epiieptic
negro named Jackson, being aroused,
stole upon Mason from behind and
grappled with him. The guards attention
was by this time attracted, and rushing in he
was overpowered. The maniac was at once
disarmed. SignOr and Hoelscher are still
alive, but cannot recover. 1t is thought AL
lison's injuries are not fatal. All the vic
Tins are convicts, confined in the depart
ment for the harmless insane Mason is
forty-fve years of age. and Frenchman by
birth. He was sent up from st. Louis, Sept
Is, 1882, for ten years, on account Of high
way robbery.

cROWDTNG EMIGR1TToN.

It is an unwise and damaging policy to
crowd emigrants into this country and Can
ada, beyond healthy and natural flow of
well-to-do people, or beyond the voluntary
emigration of people of enterprise, who,
though possessed only of small means are
ambitious of improving their condition, and
for this purpose seek new homes.
But to hold out false inducements to in
fuence emigration, aud even TO assist emf
grants to pay their passage to these shores
under the promise of plenty of work, at
compensatory wages, and then leave the
emigrant helpless and hopeless without en-
ployment or the possibility of getting any at
any price, and utterly destitute. is hcartless
and inhumau, and damage to
the emigrant and to the country where
he attempts to find work and 8 home. Bet
ter for to leave such in their native homes,
where something can be found to do, to exc
out, if only miserable living, than to throw
them, strangers and destitute, on inhospita-
bic shores, where the people are already over
taxed with domestic and foreign pauperism,
and where mechanics aud all laborers find it
difficult to get more than limited employment
at moderate wages.
Here is case in point and perhaps is
only sample of thousands of others, show
ing the distress and misery produced by
forced or wrongly influenced assisted emf
grafton. The New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
Eastern Chronicle of late date relates that
Joseph James Whitley arrived at New Glas-
Cow from Liverpool two weeks previous,
having been assured he would obtain work
as a machinist. His and his wife's passage
had been paid, partly by themselves aud partly
by the Canadian government. The man could
find no work at his trade or ally other en-
ployment, at any wages whatever. He APP
piled at last to the town for means Of getting
to Halifax, where it is not likely be will be
able 10 do any better and where be will be-
come pauper,i if not sent back to Liverpool.
This man reported that though work was
dull at Liverpool, yet he was able TO get about
three days work week, while food and cloth
ing were cheaper than on this side of the
Atlantic.
Pauper emigration, ''assisted emigration, -
to get rid Of the thriftless poor, or any emil
grafton superindueed by false representa-
tons is damaging and Of the most repre-
hensible character. The public journals
comment with natural and not unjust sever
ity on this Whitley case, as a sample of
numberless others. The New Glasgow
Chronicle says this is only one specimen of
hundreds and thousands of immigrants
being brought to Canada every year,
their passages being paid partly
by the taxes of the mechanics
of that country, and who on landing at once
enter into competition with the very men
who have been taxed TO bring them there, for
what employment is to be had. By offering
their services little lower than the going
wages they may obtain places, and either cut
the native workmen out of e job or lower the
wages all around, or if they cannot get work,
as in the case of Whitley, they become fur

TALK.

People may laugh at the resignation OF
Minister Aston al Rome because OF Cleve-
lands election, but he win really be an ire
parable loss 10 society, because Of his great
wealth and bis fitness for position which
gave him officially the scope to show IT in q
way new 10 the family.
Besides Rome is the most English city on
the continent Of Europe and foreigners are
surprised that Roman ladies and gentlemen
speak English so admirably. The explana-
ton Is that the mothers aud grandmothers
Of many children born in Rome are or we're
Of British extraction.
Books and correspondence inform Us that
the RCmaD aristOeraey is by far the most
conservative in Italy, and the ambition
Of all young patricians TO initiate
the English aristoeracy has contributed more
than anything else to the fostering of great
conservative party. The dress is English;
the women give English teas; while English
papers and novels are as rife as in Belgravia
or Mayfair. Therefore one can fancy WILL
lam Waldorf Astor, our late minister to
Rome, as taking much satisfaction in his
mission.
Yet be has had one snub in his day which,
In its peculiarly, deserves passing mention.
His name was never allowed in any print
that James Gordon Bennett could control
In all legislative reports, II be must be re-
ferred u, it was as ''the Senator from the
Tenth" This was one of the elder Benefits
methods, and the son revived 1t to get even
with the peddler's descendant for
hindering his advent into ''sas-
siety." Il does seem, though,
that the nice wealthy young men make very
unsuccessful politicians, and give the coun-
try At large more appropriate satisfaction
holding the ribbons Of q tally-ho coaching
party in the exhilarating city Of New York
than in any other effort they put forth. When
We muse on the tOddling steps in politics Of
young Mr.. Roosevelt, aud young Mr.. Phelps,
not 70 mention the ill-mannered sulks Of
Young Mr.. Astor over an adverse Democratic
election, we are sure that youth at that PROV
is risky, and maybe that the old man Of
Gramercy Park, whose weather eve has a
chronic drop Of the lid. Is safer hand at It.
Meanwhile the lefty Of the SOUP will be or

made Rome such a delightful resort for
Americans disafected in allegiance 10 life
and ways American, and only living to shed

The marriage Of an army octogenarisn
lately, proves the necessity Of some sort of
protection for the families Of such venerable
dotards, who are liable at any moment of in
fatuation to make strange women-often too
strange-sharers and dictators in family es-
tates, frequently to the dwindling of shares
and sums none too large foI the lawful
heirs.
In this city We have seen one family whose
sons Jared most disadvantageously in such q
late matrimonial deal on the part Of the ia
ther, who ought 10 have had keeper when
he fooled away the not excessively large por-
ton he had to leave his issue. 1t is depress-
ing to see the newly introduced spectator
coolly divide the estate among her family to
the exclusion Of any reversion to the natural
heirs. Just as If in solemn equity
the mercenary accidents of family invasien
through seuile folly had any claims, which a
special law TO meet such instances could not
so shape as TO make the venture meagre of
reward, If not downright discourAging Of Ill

lettering Of speculation in senile matrimony,
which is chiefly interested in being sin at

some wholesome restriction, as in other
avenues Of piratieal speculation and-well

To be sure the lawyer might hesitate ere
he committed himself TO any hampering or

frequent in cases Of senile matrimony. Still
the common sense Of society would applaud

needed reform.
