How a Clever ParisIau Made Police Edlct
Ridiculous.
There has been an amusing discussion
Paris on the subject of Kissing at
theaters. 1t is interesting to note that
an attempt made in the last century to
put a stop to the practice proved a dis
astrous failure. Tho edict had hardly
gone forth, under the auspices Of the
chief of police, when first performance
came of A gentleman who was
addicted notoriously TO hostile demon
strations was "sandwiched, by way
of procaution, between two agents of
the law, and soon the curtain rose.
Every eye was directed towards the
inveterate delinquent, but TO the gem
eral surprise, he sat still without max
ing n sign. Ere long. however, he be-
gan to yawn, and soon the two police
men took TO yawning in sympathy.
Their neighbors unconsciously followed
suit, the contagion spread, and in a
short time pit, boxes, and galleries
were yawning as they had never
yawned before. Even the actors. with
their gaze liked upon the public, could
not resist the example set them, and
the unlucky author had the misfortune
of hearing his most telling "hits'
launched forth among a perfect chorus
of yawns The embargo against hiss
ing was promptly removed, IL having
been found by experience that return
to the old system was infinitely prefer
able to the new one inaugurated by the
irrepressible Chevalier dc Ia Morliere,
who made perfect specially of his de-
monstrauons against new plays at the
Comedie Franchise, and had particular
ly distinguished himself by the uproar
he created at the first appearance of
Voltaire's ''Tanerede. "-St. James Ga

Matteo's throat, which he seized like a vice
in the grip Of his steely fingers. The giant
stumbled backward and raised his sharp
knife TO drive II up TO the handle In tho

sudden, strong, upward rovemont Of his

fell harmlessly in air. Concentrating all his

CAPT. MERRIrr's DEATH.
Capt W. j. Merritt, the mail fumigater,
who died to-day, it is claimed by his friends
died from hemorrhage, caused by inhaling
the fumes of sulphur through carelessness,
but his case is reported as OF yellow fever.
Mrs. Hopkins, who died to-day, was a
stamp clerk in the post office, and a most
highly esteemed lady.
AT the citizens meeting to-day a much
better feeling prevailed, the assurances of
opening route to places Offering refuge to
the people who can leave has caused hun
dredS Of faces to brighten, and gave hope of
a very considerable reduction of the
population in the near future. Still, it is
very gratifying to note the mild type of
disease generally. Persons of sound consti-
tutions, with few exceptions, recover speed
lily when treated In tune by skilled physi-
clans and properly nursed Fortunately there
are many physicians and others here fannl-
lar with the disease. Hundreds of comfort
able rough houses will be erected at once
for the cities of refuge for the poor, few
miles from the city, and several thousand
people, principally colored, will soon be re-
moved. Two camps are now inhabited, and
one will be established six miles north, near

HOT SPRINGS CLOUD BURST.
Four Lives Lost in the Very First
House 1t Struck.


ST. LOUIS, Sept IA special from Hot
Springs, Ark, gives additional details Of
the fatal storm that visited that place late
Thursday night.
The first building swept away was in the
north end Of the town. The occupants,
Mollie Fletcher and four children
(colored) were drowned. The husband es-
capped.
John Franklin rescued an injured man
from a swollen torrent in the same locality.
The bodies of woman and her 1-day-old
baby were found in the drift in the rear of
the Waveriy hotel.
An aged couple named Harrison occupied
a small cottage near the Arlington stables.
The force of the water caused the building
to collapse and the wife was killed
There are several lost whose names have
not yet been ascertained
The victims were principally poor people
living in small cottages which could not
withstand the storm.
THIRTEEN LIVES LOST.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept 1.---George
Brown of Lancaster, Pa, and G. H. Cool
idgs OF Cincinnati have Just arrived mere
from Hot Springs, and say that the desola-
ton is beyond description. They report
thirteen persons drowned. Nine bodies
have been recovered and inquests have
been held on four. The lost are
mostly colored people. Owing to the do
spair and confusion, they could not learn
the names of the drowned or the amount of
the damage done. Houses all along Central
street are badly undermined and many of
those damaged will have to be rebuilt. The
telegraph wires are down and it is impossi-
BILE to get further particulars.
