The Athannum Company.

The Boston Athan@um Company
will open at the Grand Opera House
on Tuesday night to a crowded house.
The tickets for this engagement have
sold very rapidly so far, and the en-
gagement gives promise of being one
of the most successful ever given at
the opera house. The performers are
all stars in their special lines, and the
audiences are kept interested and
amused all the way through. This
company drew large houses when it
was here a year ago, and it will do as
well this time. 1t will be followed by
the Kiralfy's in Aroundl the World in
EiahtN Days.

Born at Breslau in 1908, he was des-

the use of the violin. At ten years OF
age he had become a musical prodigy
and, having consequently studied
under Mayseder and Hoffman. in
1927 he gave a series Of Concerts at
Vienna, Munich and Berlin. Pro.
ceeding to Paris he became associated
with Berlioz. In 1914 he came to
Lon6oh under the auspices of Mr..
Lumley, and practically directed the
operations of the operate troupe col

its members were Fraschini, La

Panofka remained in London until

definitely to Paris. He became at

journals, notably the Messenger and the

was very successful in the tutorial
art, and in 1858 he published work
entitled "The Art OF Singing" in
which he gave resume of his iabors

to professors in Germany, France and

a number of fantasies, of an elegy, a

There is unQuestionably a growing

people should give thoughtful consider

union soldier who has a record of actual
service in the Geld IL not entitled to
recognition and reward In u pension
graduated according 10 his term of ser
vice. The time has perhaps arrived
when this question should engage the
serious attention Of the country, because
it is now twenty-five years since tho
war ended and our great army Of vol
unteers was disbanded. The men who
survived the perils of that fiery strug
gle were then comparatively young.
They could afford to wait till the nation
had taken care of their disabled com,
rades. In the twenty-five years that
have elapsed most Of them have nearly
reached or have passed the meridian of
life. Their ranks are thinned by death,
but the bulk of the grand army which
was disbanded in 1865 still survive
many of them poor or at least in very
moderate circumstances, That their
claims upon tho national gratitude arc
just ~ strong rs those who happen TO
be disabled by bullets or fever no one
will dispute. The republic owes them

twenty-five years that have elapsed
since the war, the country has not only
recovered from its exhaustion, but II
has grown enormously wealthy. With

revenues IL does not know how to get
rid of, II can now afford to repay some
portion of tho vast debt IL owes the cit

soldiers are taken care ofby the bill which

Gamblers Disturbed.

Since the district court, during the

citizens of maintaining a gambling

information was filed last Saturday, and

The young ladies of Audubon perpe-

the Misses Maud Brookield, Lou Ter

am not permitted to give the sources
from which l secured my knowledge of
the domestic troubles in Russia, for
reasons l have explained, but my con
illusions are my own and lead irresistibly
to this one fact, that nihilism is the
protest Of enlightened reason against the
despotic tyranny of the police. Every
man in Russia who dares talk at all will
will admit it. The car is generally re-
spected and beloved by the people. The
police are hated by every one. The con-
dition is that of abject submission to
tyranny. No man or woman is safe.
Even an acquaintance with suspected per-
sons is crime. A word from q spy will
send the best man in Petersburg to prison.
There is not aver freedom of thought. A
man may not even have opinions that are
contrary to the administrative system,'
as the despotism is called. AS long as he
keeps his opinion to himself he is safe,
but If he utters them, not only in Russia,
but in Paris, or London, or anywhere
else, they are liable to be reported by one
of the thousands Of spies, and from that
day he is a marked man. Nihilism is a

the distance between which is about equal

to seriously brighten the inhabitants, being

"Kitty, l am glad to see you looking

ing to regain your rosy cheeks and bright
eyesY" said O husband to his wife on his
return from business the other evening.
Med, 1 have been shopping, and l am
going to tell you all about my rosy cheeks,
bright eyes and my shopping tour. You
think l am looking charming, yet the mo-
ment l mentioned shopping to you your
countenance changed, and you looked at
me as though shopping was a mild kind
of crime. Now, don't think that shop
ping means buying, for many women
have not a dollar in their purses when
they go shopping. But no woman ever goes
on such n tour without getting rosy
cheeks and bright eyes. 1t is the ex-
citement, fresh air and the change that
causes women to appear so pink and
charming a~fterward."
But have women the assurance to go
through the stores taking up the time of
the saleswomen and buying nothingS"
asked the husband.
sob, they don't take up much time.
They simply look about, examine the new
materials and occasionally ask the price
of an article and sometimes get samples. "
'Do all who ask for samples procure
them2" was asked.
"Well, the clerks use discrimination
about hat. They soon find out the shop
pers who visit their stores day after day
without purchasing. When any of this
class ask for samples the clerks answer,
1T is too late in the day to cut samples, >
or they have some other plausible excuse
ready. If the clerk is convinced that you
really intend making n purchase he Is
usually patient and obliging. But there
is frequently as much excitement and
pleasure whether o buy or not. New

At night the six large lofts presented
strange war pictures, over which q single
tallow candle wept copious and greasy
tears, that ran down over the petrified
loaf of corn bread, Borden's condensed
milk can, or bottle in which it was set,
and where it struggled on until ''taps,"
when the guards, with unconscious
irony, shouted: "Lightsr" at which sig
nal it usually disappeared amid a shower
of boots and such other missiles as were
at hand. The sleepers covered the six
floors, lying in ranks, head to head and
foot to foot, like PROSTATE lines of battle.
For the general good, and to preserve
something like military precision, these
ranks Especially when cold weather COM

Features osszaru Architecture.

A curious feature of these people is,
that every specimen of architecture,
whether a building or a fence, is circular
in form; it seems impossible for a Zulu
to mark out a straight line, and as op.
posed to the fact that a European could,
if necessary, build a round house, it
would be perfectly impossible for a Zulu
TO build a square one if his life depended
upon it. Nay, more, you cannot make a
Zulu understand the structure of a
modern house; their minds cannot grasp
the details of a square, straight walled
building surmounted by a roof, and as
for the idea of two or more floors, one
above the other, they simply declined to
believe it, especially as most of the
houses at the diamond fields were at that
time on the Bungalow principle.
They could conceive the possibility of
the Capitol at Washington, but could not
credit its size, as their cleverest builders
said ne such building could support its
own weight. The only material used in
their houses being posts, sticks and reeds
to thatch it with, commonly called
''wattle and daub," and the use of bricks,
stone and mortar being beyond their
comprehension, they simply discredited
the stories told by the white men.-Wilf.

The Rev. Mr.. Ewing, the returned mis-

Gently, related that the natives of that
country make occasional pilgrimages to
and worship a phenomenon ituated in
the interior. In India it is regarded as a
burning mountain by the foreigners, but
Mr.. Ewing says that since he has come to
western Pennsylvania and seen the nat
ural gas wells here he is of the opinion
that natural gas is also what these
Hindoos worship in that far away place,
If it is the genuine article, people need not
fear that the supply of natural gas will
soon be exhausted, for this one in India has
been burning for ages and ages.-New
