( But 10 return 70 the tneatrlcai scheme
I " orr Chin Foo proposes 10 hire anO
remodel . building on Not; street, In
/ port O company Of actors from China
and put or Chinese dramas II true De-
lesfihl sty le. In a Chinese theatre there
rs little OF no cost for scenery, but the COS
TUNES are always magnificent and expeD-
sive. The company always includes
number OF expert tumblerT and jugglers,
and the play lasts from four 10 ten
weeks, like 8 serial story, beginning
with the baby hood OF the hero and con
tinuing - hls death. AL these prepA-
rhtions cost money, but ] fancy that IN
New York, where the people arc a. wEys
on the lookout for novelties, II might
be mnoe 70 pay. 1t would no doubt
hsve . large Chinese patronage, but II
would attract sightseeing New York
ers 81 well. Atan events, the indefsti-
cattle little Wong has succeeded in H.
sresting several very heavy capitalists,
Gnd we shall probably see Chinese
theatre IL New York earl next year.

actor this viii cost you g. 81, and Is
q clumsy but strong weapon. There
hse number q single breech-loaders,
+ side-snsps, tOp-snaps. and other snaps
ranging ny toe 30, but none OF which
are Of much account. Rud the double

TIIE COMING Gun.
But the coming gun is the hammer
less. and very handsome ones are I'm
iShed in this country and whOlesaled a.
IRON sl00 70 9l25 in the lower grades,
20 sos for finest work. Magazine
guns aye also coming 10 the front nj
about the same figures and although
these latter are AZ yet somewhat OF ~
experiment, tho experience OF those
who handle rifles Is in their favor.
4 novelty TINS year is duck gun
composed Of seven 32-bore barrels Sd
closed in one, which shoots simulhs-
neously seven long bullet cartridges and
viii XIII al two hundred yards. Other
new ideas are combination shot and
rife-bsrrele side by side and also over
and under and new double gun which
iF chOked and rified on the choke so
that o bullet Is twisted when fired.
just One wsrd TO the Wise: The list
prices are subject TO very smart dis
counts. and II yon make q purchase do
il " regular and make your own bar
gain.

The week in Wall street opened with
phenomenal strength. The Subsequent
acvKDces were not particularly sharp,
but they showed gteRdiness which IN
dictates that the movement is healthy

ers, consequent RpDn the conclusion OF
