The Sea Serpent Still Lives.

It was of the mouth Of Umpqua river.
The bark Estrella was coming from Tacoma,
loaded with coal, the captain says he saw the
serpent not more than 200 yards distant.
When he was satisfied that he bebeld a real
live serpent and not creation Of his imagi-
nation, the captain sprang below and got his
rifle, calling TO his wife and crew 10 come o
deck and view the wonder. The lady and sev
eral of the crew came on deck and plainls
saw the monster swimming by. He appeared
to be about eighty feet long, and as big
around as a barrel He rode over the
waves with his head and ten feet Of
body elevated above water, every now
and then dipping his immense head
into the water, the body making gigan-
tic couvolutions while gliding caterpillar
like over the waves. The head was fat, or
dashed" as the captain describes it, and the
body appeared to be covered with scales.
About ten feet of what might properly be
called the neck was covered with coarse
hair, resembling mare. After viewing the
monster for a while the captain raised his
rife and fired several shots at it, but the bul-
lets fell short. The sea serpent seemingly
paid no attention to the shooting, but kept on
his way. The excited spectators kept it in
view for fully q half hour, when, without any
apparent furry, it sank out of sight IN the
sea and was not seen after.-Alta Califor-

Guying Royalty.
THE QUEEN AND HER FAMILY HELD UP TO RIDI-

THE QUEEN AND HER FAMILY HELD UP TO RIpI-
GUILE IN THE PANToMIMEs.
Cable Correspondence New York Sun
The sycophants of royalty are just now very
indignant at the disrespectful manner in which
the queen and her family have been treated in
the pantomimes now running at the big thea
tiers. and are calling aloud for the interference
of the censor. How that functionary is to deal
with the audiences who nightly cheer disloyal
sentiments no one ventures to suggest. There
is some talk of an aristocratic boycott of the
Objectionable shows, and from the courtier's
point of view such step would not be without
justification. In one pantomime allusion is
made to her majesty's miserly habits. In all
there are unkind remarks upon her par

Battenberg his wife, Princess Beatrice and

upon the British taxpayers are held up to pop

| describe as laughter and cheers The Prince
of Wales is treated with comparative tender
ness, but even he is put upon the stage as the
boon companion of prize fighters and such
| like. He Is made to unbend in the most I'M

to kiss the hand of Boston's pride The most

ceremony, which leaves time only for short

Actresses with Titles.

Paris Letter in the Philadelphia Telegraph
1t is a fact to be noted that many celebrated
prime dome, actresses and dancers have be-
come by legitimate marriage members of the
nobility of Europe. At the head of those still
living is to be placed Madame Ristori the Mar
chesa del Grille, and Madame de Lagrange,
who is the widowed Comtesse de Stankovitch.
CRISIS second husband Mario being the third
was the Comte de Melcy. The famous con-
tralto, Albani, was the Countess Pepoli, though
she exchanged her title, after her husbands
death, some years ago, for the less euphonious
name of Madame Zidler The great dancer
Tagiioni, married Count Gilbert DIES voisins
The Baronne de Caters was the daughter of the
famous basso Lablache, and was orig
Marie Hebron, the French prima donna
who created Massenet's Manon, became the
Vicomtesse de la Panouse. Henrietta Sontag
was the Countess Rossi. Pauline Lucca is the
Baroness Won Wallhofen. The charming Adele
Dumilatre, the leading danseuse some fiftv
years ago at the Grand opera, married in 1s43
the Count del Castillo. Mile. CODY, of the
Vaudevilles is the Comtesse de Louvieres Vir-
g1nie Roisset, the accomplished circus rider. is
now the Princess de Reuss. The Vicomtesse
vlgier. OF Nice, was originally Mile. Sophie
Cruvelli, the prima donna of the Grand opera
Alix Bressant, daughter of the famous actor of
the Coincide Franchise is married to Prince
Kotchubey. The favorite tragic actress of
Vienna, Charlotte Wolters, is the wife of Count
Soilivan. The present marchioness of Allies
bury was Miss Dolly Tester, of the London
opera boIfte stage. Miss Elise Hensler, the
American prima DONNA married the late king
consort of Portugal the father of the present
king. Therese Elssler, the sister of the cele-
brated danseuse Fanny Elssler became the wife
of the Archduke Adelbert of Bavaria. And no
one will have forgotten, think, that Madame
Adelina Patti was once the Marquise de Caux, and
that Madame Christine Nilsson is now the
Comtesse de sa-Miranda. On the Partisan
stage, moreover, ladies and gentlemen of noble
birth are occasionally to be met with who hide
under their stage names their real and genu-
inely aristocratic applications. Thus the beau
tiful Nine. Prelly, who at one time was the
star of the opera bouffe company at the Folies
Dramatiques, was born De Pommeyrac, and
was the wife of the Baron de Presles. The still
lovelier Mile. Clery, of the Vaudeville, who
created the role of the Countess Olga in "Fe-
dora" rejoiced in private life in the name of
Julia de Pistorino de Clery. Nine. Marie Lau-
rent was born De Luguet; and NJ. Feraudi. of
the Coincide Franchise, is really the Vicomte
de Feraudy. / have omitted the majority of

Changing Voting Methods.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS HAVE A SCHEME SIMILAR
TO THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.
An Indianapolis special to the Philadelphia
Times says: 1t has leaked out that the demo-
Gratis have prepared an election law to be in
troduced in the legislature making some very
important changes in the method Of voting
and throwing additional safeguards around
the ballot. The bill provides that the ballots
shall be printed at the expense of the state,
each ballot containing the names of all can
didates. but the names of the nominees of each
party shall be printed in different colored ink
Five stalls or booths shall be erected at each
polling place and each voter will be admitted
to one Of these as he is handed ballot, and
upon entering the booth he indicates by a
cross mark the candidates for whom he votes.
No voter, except when arranging his ballot, is
allowed within 80 feet of the polls. The law
provides that each election day shall be legal
holiday-all business houses, shops and manu-
factories to be closed, and penalty is fixed
for the non- observance of the day.
A penalty of two years Imprisonment il
fixed for bribery or keeping a voter from the
polls; but the bribe-taker is exempt from pen
atty. The law is modelled after the Austria
liam system
