CHILDREN FOR THE PANroMIMe.
A Great Deal of Careful, Persistent
Training Neeessary-At Drill
food Words

tTOO1 NOrJlSi
Long, patient, perseverlng rehearsals
are INDISPENSABLE. The rehearsal begins
four TO five Wee6s before Christmas, and
for this period the children get no re-
Enumeration. They require TO attend
every afternoon and evening for three
or four hours, but except for a night or
two Immediately preceding the opening
performance they are not kept beyond )
clock On one Of these nights
learned with regret they had been kept
night and morning throughout.
With the principal school board officer
I visited the theatres during the rehear
sal. We were received with the utmost
courtesv-were conducted over those
mysterious regions behind the scenes,
where the arrangements are so cleverly
and artistically manipulated, and &C
Quired all necessary information regard
ing the employment Of young people
The selection and classi 1oation of the
children according to the parts they are
10 play Is one Of the first considerations
Of the stage manager or his assistants.
When so classified special training is re-
quired to suit them for the individual
characters they are TO represent.
One group at time, like class in
school, is taken IN hand by the drill
master, and the requisite instruction In
dance or action or song is given for
longer or shorter time, according to the
progress made. Piano or violin accom-
panies the rehearsal, giving life to the
songs and choruses as we'll as materially
assisting in keeping proper time. Songs
specially got up for the occasion have to
be learned and practiced. The charity
girls chant ditty about being ''happy
Il n lrJa md oh ho5n
skipping ropes. The wagoners flourish
and crack their whips and sing of
Jolly, jolly wagoners. The fat boys"
are taught certain funny movements,
and have ranting, rowing melody
peculiar to merry, merry fat boys.
All this, it will be seen, can not be
perfected without a great deal of careful,
persistent tEaining. In another theatre
which we visited dusing the rehearsal
the chief feature was the drill, and it
was perfectly amazing to see the beauti-
full and intricate figures the children de-
scribed as they marched and inter
marched and countermarched and adj
vanced and retire and threw their lit
tie arms and limbs into the most grace
full postures. some represented reapers
and shepherdesses, and the various move
ments with reaping hooks, rakes, and
crooks, all accompanied by suitable
music, were very artistically rendered.
By very slight change of costume
the children were transformed into tiny
blacksmiths, and very harmonious
blacksmiths they became. One handled
the tongs, while on real anvils others
swung in very tradesmanlike fashion
little hammers Of iron, all chanting at
the same time melodious refrain
which rythmically harmonized with
their tinkling musical strokes, afford
ing altogether a novel and interesting
spectacle. The dresses and costumes
are not worn at the rehearsaIs, and
only so much of the paraphernalia in
troduced as may be found necessary for
proper initiation and instruction.

For the Protection of Plants.

An association for the protection of
plants has been started at Geneva; the
object is to preserve Alpine rarities
from the determination with which the
annually increasing number of botan-
lists, mercenary collectors, and noun
taineering tourists generally is said to
menace them. The projectors of the as
ISOLATION announce that they are going
to cultivate the flowers of the Alps in
nurseries and sell them at such low
rates that it will not be worth any ones
while to dig up the wild plants.

Easier Than To Be Kicked.
REV. Sam .Jones.l

How many of you can look God in the
face and say you sold out, lock, stock
and barrel, and didn't reserve anything.
If were some of you l would change.
1t is easier to do right than to be kicked
and cuffed and numbered about by the
preachers every Sunday at church.
think Bishop Keener was right when he
said Methodist preacher had but one
job and that was to go around and
worry people into heaven.

Novelty in Advertising.
Exchange

The best novelty in advertising comes
from Italy 1t Is on the North Italy
railway that the idea has been devei,
oped, and it consists in providing the
tickets with POCKETS and inserting in
each pocket little roll of paper with
advertisements printed thereon. Yop
buy you a ticket from Milan to Venice.
Tor instance, and on thin piece of pa,
per neatly inserted therein you will find
an the information you can want about
the Venetian hotels and shops.
The Thousand islands have baan
counted again. They aumber l, 500.

Spirit Manifestations.

Miss Kate Eddy. who some years
ago made quite sensation in New
York through her spiritualistic mani
festations, will make her first appear
ance in this city tomorrow Sunday
night Oct. 2lst, at Ross opera house.
All agree that her seance is extraor-
dinary, to degree remarkable, unex-
celled by any seance of the kind
before the public. Miss Eddy leaves
her audience free to draw their own
inference as to the motive force of
her manifestations, neither claiming
as some do, to have the aid OF super
natural powers, nor confessing that
she is alone dependent on her own
exertions and dexterity. She, how
ever, prorounds the one query to all
who inquire of her, "If I do not have
invisible aid. pray tell me how I do
these things" A diminutive, highly
nervous, but bright, intelligent and
pretty woman, she seems to be wholly
without the power to do oue-half the
feats that are made regular part of
her seance. At the opera house to-
morrow the skeptical may be repre-
sented upon the stage with liberty to
subject the body to any reasonable
test and free to detect what they can.
Very low prices will prevail.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers Of suffocation
while lying. down; to breathe freely, sleep
soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain
or ache to know that no poisonous. putrid
matter defles the breath and rots away the
delicate machinery of smell, taste and hear
ing to feel that the system does not, through
its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that
is sure to undermine and destroy. is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
To purchase immunity from such q fate
should be the object Of all afflicted, But those
who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase Of Catarrh, from simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
1t is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
lieving, permanent in curing, safe, economi-
cal and never-failing.

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, AID statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumptioaand to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed to
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset You must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils. OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give you immediate
relief.

"HEADs 1 WIN. TAILS YOU LOSE"

Mention was made in Tuesdays is
sue of proposed bet, the bettor wa.
gering 500 that he could name twen-
ty states that Cleveland would carry
in November. and S400 more that he
could name ten other states that
Cleveland would also carry in No.
vember.
There is more in this than appears
at first sight. 1t is really a dead
thing on losing the first bet and
winning the second. The profit lies
in making the second bet good
sized one, both bets to go together.
Suppose the proposition is accept
ed, and a wager is made that the
party name on bet of 800 that he
can do it, twenty states that will cast
their electoral votes for Cleveland;
he immediately names as that number
of sure Republican states, Colorado,
California, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, In
diana, Pennsylvania. Oregon, Ohio.
New Hampshire, Nevada, Nebraska,
Minnesota, ,ConnecticutMichigan, Yer
mont and Massachusetts. On the face
of it it is plain that he will lose the 800
he bets on these going for Cleveland.
But at the same time he bets that he
can name ten other states that will
also give their electoral vote to Cleve-
land; that bet be is careful to have
for an amount four or five times the
amount of the first bet. That bet be-
ing made for say S400, he, of course,
at once names Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Ken
lucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Mis-.
souri,, and South Carolina. When the
election comes off he is just $500
ahead.
1t will be observed that the same
thing can be done with Harrison, as
the one on whom the money is wa
gered by simply substituting Demo-
cratic states for Republican states in
the first bet.
A good many thousand dollars were
lost and won on such unfair bets as
that in 1880.

Hon. G. W. Fulton of Astoria, one
OF the directors of the Astoria and
South Coast railway, was in the city
yesterday for a short time, and was
interviewed as to the intentions OF
Astorians regarding the construction
of the road. Mr.. Fulton stated that
the Astoria, people had subscribed
S75, 1000 for the construction of q rail-
way along the proposed route down
Clatsop beach, thence through the
Coast range pass east of Tillamook to
some point in the Willamette valley.
"The people Of Astoria" said Mr..
Fulton, want to establish railroad
communication with the Willamette
valley. Our objective points the Ore
gon Pacific, because we expect that
that line will in very few years be a
transeontinental route. We have be-
gun active operations on our road
and expect that it will be completed
to the seaside, distance of eighteen
or twenty miles by spring. We have
ample terminal facilities offered us
near Astoria, and l am sure we can
secure still better inside the corpora
tion.
81 am certain the people of Astoria
will cooperate heartily with the citi-
Zens of Salem in the construction of
the line to the valley. You are not
more anxious to have an outlet to the
deep sea than we are to reach the
valley, and Salem seems to me as
good point as any through which
the road may pass TO the Oregon Pa
cific."
