TAEEN CAPSULES.
The Boston Mems Method of Tip
ping Between Acts.

BosToN, Mass, Dec 30-BOstOn men,
they say-that is, few of them have
discovered recently capital solution of
the between-the-a problem. All the
theaters here are built with such re-
gard for economy of space that the get
ting out to see mana ceremony So
essential TO many persons enjoyment
of a PLAYS matter of the utmost diff
ficultv. 1t is not agreeable for man
to make a dozen people get upon their
feet and fold up their seats to let him
pass three or four times during
the play. The Inconvenience he
causes them is not OF much
Importance; they ought to be willing to
endure that for the sake of relieving
suffering creature. But it is not pleas
ant. as any one who has tried it will
admit. 10 squeeze past a row OF reluc-
tant women and ill-natured men who
stick ont their feet so that you cannot
help treading upon them, and grumble
if YOU so much as happen to step on one
of their hats. TO do this twice for each
drink procured is almost too much
trouble, and thus it is that new inven-
ton, not yet patented by local apothe-
cary, appears liEely to acquire popu-
larity. 1t is simple gelatlne capsule
like those used for nauSe0uS medicines,
but larger and filed with the finest old
bourbon. One dozen Of then fit neatly
into Il small box of convenient size
for the pocket, and half that
number is guaranteed to induce Just
that mellow condition of intoxication
which accentuateS so accurately man S
enjoyment of a stage performance. par
ticuarly if there is an incidental ballet
advertisement. The capsules, upon
being placed in the mouth, dissolve i'm
medlalely, the dose contained i'll each
being SO nicely calculated as to bring
comfortable condition of inebriety dur
ing an entire evening within easy reach
OF the sedentary tippler. Not the least
advantage of this kind of drinking is
that il conveys no shock to the sensitive
moral apprehension of the aboriginal
Puritan, whose hostility to the demon OF
rum is 50 keen that all Boston grocers
do up the bottles they sell in boxes to
conceal their shape, and wrap the deml-
Johns with such an artistic disguise that
not even a church deacon would be aole
to guess what was inside.

ST. PAUL'S DISTlLLERY
Ready to Meet the War on 1t by
the Trust.


PHILADELPHIA. Dec. sc. w.
Hicks, vice president and general man.
ager of the st. Paul DiStilling company,
who is stopping in this city, said to-
night:
The whisky trust having declared war against
the st. Paul company by reducing the price
of highwines 10 cents per proof gallon, his
company would tomorrow make the price of
highwines 81 OF, which is 3 cents under the
figure named by the trust. The st. Paul
house he says, is owned and operated by
men of the highest financial standing and
ability in the Northwest. The trust since its
formation has steadily advanced the price of
highwnes to a fictitious figure, making there
by an enormous profit large part of which
is set apart to fight the st. Paul and other
individual distilleries Our opposition TO
the trust is not to destroy. Retail dealers
know that they ought to pay about 81 20 per
gallon for their goods. Nomatter how much
the trust raises prices the dealers will not
pay the jobbers raise i'll prices, and conse-
quently the jobbers are the ones who are
squeezed. We don't want TO carry this fight
to its farthest limit, but if we must ''go into
Africa" we shall not object. Our aim is to
do business on business methods, with fair
return for capital invested.

TWO RICH MEN OF BOSTON.
The Modern Athens Has Its Van
derbiIt and Its Aston.

BosToN, Mass, Dec. 30.-Chief among
B0stom's capitalists is Montgomery
Sears, whose vast holdings of valuable
real estate give him claim TO be called
the Astor of the modern Athens. He
inherited 900 a few years ago
from his father, Joshua Sears, who
came to Boston without a penny and
established small grocery business.
By astonishing parsimony, backed
with remarkable business instinct,
old Josh rapidly piled up the
thousands. The land he bought
multiplied in value, and it was not long
before he found himself a millionaire.
Already old, he began to look about him
Tor a wife, and finally selected his
housekeeper. We he died he left his
money so that his son should never
come into the bulk of the estate, provld-
ing the young man merely with pitt
full so. 600 a year. This did not suit
Monty" at all, who thereupon began
proceedings to set the will aside, and
nnally succeeded, with the aid OF Skill
full lawyers. in getting hold of the en-
tire property. lie has added to it con-
siderably since. and his fortune seems
not unlikely to compare faV0rably DUR
ing his own lifetime with the posses
sions of any one of the three great AS
tor landholders. Mr.. Sears belongs to
all the swell clubs, keeps a steam yacht,
and is an amateur in vi0lirs, OF which
he has a variable collection.
If Montgomery Sears is to be regard
ed as the Astor Of Boston. Nathanial
Thayer is unquestionably its Wander
bilt. He owns no end of railways in
the West, notably good part of the
Chicago, Burlington IL Quincy, and
many people think he is worth at least
sln,G00,0JO. lie is likewise member OF
the fashionable clubs. and keeps sta
bic full of expensive horses. AS might
be imagined. his father was too much
engaged during his lifetime i'll the abb
sorbing occupation of making money to
be much of swell. Young Nat and
Monty" Sears are excellent illustra-
tons of the indisputable fact that
money. ii you only have enough OF it.,
is the best possible introduction even
to such uitra-eXclusiye society as BoS-
ton affords. The lack of ancestral pap
spoons is not apt to be felt seriously by
Gorgius Midas. Other people will not
let him feel it.

Embarrassing Situation of a
Pretty Girl and a Bashful Pro-

1CSSOEs
Here is a good story from the Tusca-
IoOsa (Ga.) Gazette: Yesterday morn
ing, as the northbound passenger train
pulled up at the depot. certain young
professor, who was preparing to leave
for home, grabbed his valise,
as he thought, and started for
the train. He was stopped before
reaching the train and Informed
that he had the valise of one of the
young ladies of the T. F. college, who
was also leaving for home. He was in
sisting that it was his valise, when an
other yaiSe lust like it was produced,
and so near alike were they that the
only way out of the difficulty was to eX
anime the contents, to which the young
lady agreed, and he proceeded to open
the one he had first taken. The
other boys and girls on the plat
form began to get interested and
crowded around to witness the in
spection. The young lady who claimed
the valise, however. carefully caught
the sides of it as the young man loos
ened the faStenlngs, and allowing it to
open about an inch peeped down into
it and exclaimed, Its mine The
young man, of course, proceeded to
hasten it again, but after closing the
end clasps it was discovered that the
ends of the straps had fallen on the
inside of the valiSe, and could not be
gotten at to strap it up without
again opening it, so it was again
carefully opened der the watchful
supervision of the fair owner, and the
ends of the straps being pulled out it
was again closed and strapped and
handed to the young lady, when she
was Mortified to find that she had capt
ured the young man; his watch and
chain had. dropped into the opening in
the valise as he leaned over to close it
and was firmly fastened there. The
situation was becoming embarrassing
about now, as it was painfully evident
that the valise must be again
opened in order to eXtricate the young
man from the awful predcament into
which his watchchain lad gotten him.
For the third time that trying ordeal
was gone through with by the young
lady of having her valise opened and its
contents exposed to the gaze Of the now
highly amused crowd that had gathered
around. Finally he handed it to her in
the condition in which he found it, and,
as a becoming blush o'erspread his
handsome face. he remarked: IF it is
not mine. it is very difficult for ne to
get rid of it,

Wadatha is merely the stewart IN
charge for the Princes Bonaparte and
RadZuville, the owners of the Casino,
and all that thereto pertains, and his
statements as to income. etc. are to be
taken by the general public with large
grain of allowance. He announces at
the beginning of the present season
that business at Monte Carlo must be
stimulated. He has called in the cOun-
sci of railway managers here, has held
interviews with architects and builders,
and now announces that hereafter visi-
tors by train will be brought directly to
the doors of the Casino; that there they
will be able to step into an elevator
which will deposit them at the
door of the gambling room,
and his advertisements imply that
unlucky players will be treated
with every consideration in the way of
transportation facilities that they could
desire. Manager Wagatha knows how
to advertise and how to make his adj
vertisements reach the eyes of old or
new patrons. You will not find his atl-
nouncements scattered broadcast over
dead walls and fences like theater pos
tiers. Much more subtle and effective
are his methods. 1t is notorious that

through the delicate writing of some of

SCARED BY HER BUsTLE.
The Monster Which a Young Lady
MistoOk for a Snake.


At ball here the other evening. says
the Palatka (Fla.) Herald. there was,
among others. young lady who had a
horror of snakes, and imagined-no
matter what the reason-if she expert
enced any unusual alarm a snake
in unpleasant proximity. After
dancing a while she was greatly
disturbed by feeling a sensation as
though a serpent had fixed itself be-
meath the folds of her dress. Grasping
the head of the monster tightly she
screamed loudly for assistance. nasty
consultation among the gamest of the
ladies was held, when it was decided
that young disciple of Escnlapius who
was present should be called to their
assistance. He was quickly on the spot,
and being a young man OF uncommon
courage, was not many moments
within the circle of haf-faintlng fe-
males before he had caught the tail OF
the snake and wound it firmly around
his hand, telling Miss NJ. that she must
let go the moment he jerked, and to
make the act as instantaneous as posi-
bile. He told her he would pronounce
the words one. two. three. and that at
the last word she must let go her hold,
and that he doubted not that he
could withdraw the snake before
it had time to strike. All stood
in GREATNESS horror awaiting
the act of life or death, and the moment
the words were pronounced the young
fellow jerked out the longest and most
misunderstanding wire hustle that ever
was seen. The whole affair was soon
explained. The fastening of the ma
chine had become loose during the
dancing. and it had shifted its position
in such manner that it dangled about
and induced the wearer to believe it
was a snake with an enormous head.
The fellow swooned in his tracks and
couldn't be induced to attempt the cap
ture of another snake under any cir
cumstances. The young lady left the
ball room greatly mortified.

not to get her new cabinet until after

of the year an eXOrbitant price obtains
in every line, but after the lst of Janu-

down. We once knew young busi-

man, firmly. I'm going to wait until

Miss Quay formally makes her en-,
trance into society this season, though
she was seen at some OF the 'small and

of Pennsylvania new senator is ex-
tremely pretty, and, though only five
feet in height, appears much taller be-
cause of her exquisitely-mOIded figure.
which shows to good advantage in ten
mis- playing, of which healthy game she
is passionately fond, as well as horse
back riding, in which she eXcels. All
those who know her fathers clear intel
lect are not astonished at the cleverness
of the daughter, who. though modest
ana retiring in disposition. is well up in
the topics of the day, and brilliant in
conversation. Her artistic skill is of no
mean merit, as is shown in the decora-
tions of her home i'm Beaver and her
own costumes, which bear evidence Of
their artistic taste.
