A LITTLE CHARMER,


And a New Theatrical star of the First
Magnitude.
Miss Myra Goodwin can congratulate
herself that she made an impression last
night. II there are three things which Fort
WORTHLESS admire to excess they are
youth, beauty and vivacity as
Byron would say. Being yet in her teens,
and possessing the other two qualities in
the suDerlative degree, she became a fa-
vorite almost from the moment she
stepped upon the stage. Her singing was
good and her dancing was never sur
passed, If equaled, upon this stage.
IL was received with display
of enthusiasm rarely given even to stars
of such magnitude as Morris or Abbott.
MIR George Richards MS Hickory Hawk
ms, did some very good comedy work.
II is several points in his favor that he is
the uglicst man on the stage, with the cN-
ception of G. b. Bishop. His makeup
resembles very closely one of Nast's
pictures of Uncle Sam. isis" is a very
entertaining but not extraordinary play,
containing the usual amount of vii.
lainy, hcroism and love. isis" the
actress, is both entertaining and eNtraor-
binary. No more charming soubrette
and scarcely one so pretty, dances before
the footllghtS. Should the successes OF
the few months of her theatrical expert
ence be continued in the future, Maggi,
Mitchell may well look to her laurels.
ISIS" will be repeated at matineC
this afternoon and again this evening.

able to do so rushed from the tumbling
houses and fled to the boats on the river
and on the lakes, or sought the open
country.
The terrified inhabitants are now cam
ygd in the fields that surround the town.
Serinagur is near the center of the Vale
Of Cashmere, and that whole territory
experienced the terrible earthquake
shock.
The damage caused throughout the
Vale is enormous. The loss in cattle
alone is very great. The affrighted peo-
pie seem to be utterly helpless and sue
coz is being sent them as rapidly as the
Indian authorities can organize relief.
Many Of the houses yet standing show
large rents in the walls and must be raz-
e3 to the ground. The shocks have not
yet ceased and this fact greatly retards

many Of these must perish before they

Senator Jones, ofFIorida.

Washington Special to New York Telegram.
Senator Jones, of Florida, is a big man
with a smoothIy-shaven face, and hair
bordering upon the shade of the orange.
Mr.. Jones is a widower, and a very coy
one. He has charms and he is willing
that they should be admired-at a dis
tance. In fact, the Senator hatters him
self that he is a ladies' man. Some time
ago he was with party of gentlemen,
and the subject of society was brought
up. The senator waxed eloquent over
the superb specimens Of womankind
here in Washington, and remarked that
he was sorry to see that some of them
were fond of the dudes. But" he CON
cluded, drawing himself up proudly, ex-
panding his chest and finally settling
himself back on his heels, ''the ladies
know a man when they see one. When
I'm in their society they flock about me.
Several of his listeners smiled and one
remarked in an undertOne that the la
dies were probably actuated by feminine
curiosity.

A New Use For Bed-Springs.

Detroit Free Press.
A few days ago, after fire which
partly consumed a dwelling house on
Third street, the owner permitted gang
of Polacks to carry off lot of the dam
aged furniture. Aspiring bed fell to the
lot of an old man. The cover had been
destroyed, and several of the coils were
missing, but he accepted the present with
every expression of gratitude, and as he
cartcd it away his fellow-countrymen
cast many a envious glance in that di-
rection.
The same afternoon the donor had
business in Poletown, and as he rode
along, the Pole, to whom he had given
the bed, ran out and made motions for
him to come in.
"Bless his old soul but he's got these
springs fixed up and wants me to see
what a nice bed he has" said the citizen
to himself, and he followed the man
around the house.
There was the springfield. The man
had built a pig-pen and the gift just
made a front for it. The wire coils were
placed on the inside, and the occupant of
the pen was scratching against them and
squealing with delight.
Good p said the Polack as he point
ed to the pen.

AMENITIES OF WAR.
Walking Into an Enemy's Camp and
Ont Again.

Chicago Iuter-Ocean.
While we were in front of Chattanoo-
"a it became fashionable along the pick
ct line to exchange papers. The plan
was for a confederate who wanted a pa
per TO come to the front, shake a south
crn paper as a flag Of truce, and in this
way invite exchanges. The pickets on
either side in that immediate vicinity
ceased firing, the union soldier would
start from his line, and the confederate
from his line, and they would meet half
way. shake hands, exchange papers, and,
If there were no officers in sight, sit
down and have chat. This had been
kept up for several days, when there
came an order from headquarters that
no more papers should be exchanged.
But the boys, choosing their time for
exchange. continued the practice against
orders. There came week. however,
in which 80 Confederate responded to
waving or shaking or futterings of paper
or handkerchief, and we knew then that
orders against exchange had been issued
on shat side rs we'll as ours.
But one morning quite early my part
ner discovered a man on the confederate
line franticaIIy waving a large paper
lie suggested that we slip away from the
reserve and go out and see what the man
wanted He took paper, waved it, and
ve started toward the confederate in
front. When we had proceeded about
half way to the point of meeting the fell
low ceased to wave his paper. We were
puzzled at this, but finally concluded
That he was down in a hollow, and we
would see him when he came up on high
ground. So we walked on and walked
without warning into a group of soldiers
a the confederate picket post. The men
were Just ready to take breakfast. and
after lie first furry they joked us a good
deal about our extraordinary willingness
to get into their clutches at breakfast
time. When we spoke of the exchange
Of papers the officer in charge informed
as that orders were positive against ex-
change. and that all his men understood
it. As this was the case, he took the po-
sjtion that we had come willingly into
thr.c lines, and that he could not allow
u5 TO return. I saw at once that his men
disagreed with him, but the question was
bow we were to get away.
LEy partner, who had been a soldier in
Germany joined in the jokes at our ex-
pense, and proposed that he make the
boys some coffee that was coffee. The
coaacderates had a very poor excuse for
that article, and without more ado he
proceeded to make a kettle of coffee, the
aroma Of which seemed to fascinate the
cofee-hungry sharpshooters. When he
