A scientific man warns the world that
if the contempl,ted inland sea is let in Oh
the African desert, the enormous quantity
of water thus drawn from the ocean will
so alter the balance of weight of the globe
that the inclination of its axis will be de-
fected and the land and water of its sur
face will change places. 1t is worth think,
ing of, for it is plausible When it comes
to ending the world by artificial means,
We should 60 slow.

A remonstrance with $4,000 signatures
was presented to congress against turning
the dedication of the Washington monu-
ment into a Masonic celebration The
remonstrauts state the curious fact-if it
is tact-that the stone sent by the pope
tor the monument was broken up and
thrown into the Potomac without exPlana-
ton or word of regret" And the ques
ton is put, Why are the Catholics snuhbed
and the Free-Masons honored?' Also the
document states that Free Masonry is OF
foreign birth, entirely un-American and
unrepublcan." These two statements
will cause surprise, especially the former.
Let us hear ABOUT that pulverized stone OF
the pope. The probabilities are that the
remonstrants lie-under mistake-about

shaun Rhue.

| Mr. Joseph Murphy, the well-kuown Irish
comedian appeared in "Shaun Rhue" before
good house at the Grand on Thursday
night. This new play Mr.. Murphy is very
sure TO make quite as popular-even more 80
with theater-goers than bis well-known
kerry Cow" His grasp of the dual char
scters, Shaun Rhue and Larry Donavan, Is
perfect, especially so in the former. The
humor, the sparkling Irish wit, brilliant in
dialogue and sharply poloted in repartee, is
carried forward TO such intensely humorous
ends that the audience is thoroughly co.,
vulsed. The character of Larry Donovan is,
as we think, lacking in one point only, and
that is simply in the scene at his mothers
grave. The big, strong, manly Larry should
OF whimper like a child; his sorrow should
have been more manly than that Of poor
Tim. Even after the audience had wept with
him over Only Handful of Earth" it was
a question whether it was intended for them
to laugh or cry over his childish whimper, as
he went away from his mothers
grave-they preferred to laugh, and
did laugh. The company is unusually well
balanced throughout and deserves the popular
favor with which it is received. Mr. Murphy
is no longer young man; but is said 20 be
worth Sl5O,00O. Fond OF bunting and other
sports, he is given to these relaxing amuse-
ments. but is passionstely fond OF his pro-
fession and cannot think of going off the
boards to enjoy his well-earned fortune.
