THE oOLAH'S" TWELFTH WEEK.
Remarkable ummer Success of the Bur

Remarkable uinmer Success of the Bur.
lesque at the broadway Theatre.
"The Oolah," presented by Francis Will
son and company still continues its UMPIRE
cedented record at the Broadway Theatre,
New York, and the house is crowded
nightly in spite of July weather and the
exodus to the summer resorts. The opera
will begin the twelfth week of its pros
porous run on Monday, July 20, and the
management state that its receipts have
been thirty per cent. larger than those of
any sumnler production ever given in
New York.
II is surprising to find a theatre in these
midsummer days filled with In audience
whose interest and appreciation are as
great as can be seen on q night in Janu-
airy, and Francis Wilson has clearly DEM
onstrated to his fellow managers that
there is a good big business to be done in
New York in summer time if one has only
the pluck, tact and discrimination to pro-
vide the right kind of amusement for the
thousands of stay-at-home people md the
strangers who ~congregate there.
There is so much that is bright and
mi~rEh-provoking in 1.-The Oo1ah'' that It's

Death to Mosquitoes.

DR.. Robert III. Lamborn, of New
York, has offered a prize to any per-
son devising successful methods for
the destruction of mosquitoes. Let
his statue be honored with a niche
second ia exalted position only to that
of the man who wins the money. 1t
is doubtful if a more useful work
could be undertaken. 1t is Of ma
tional Importance. The popular idea
that New Jersey alone is interested Is
a great error. 1t arises from the fact
that outsiders are more interested
in the Punishment of mosquitoes from
this section than they are in a similar
work elsewhere; because, of course
everybody would like to live in New
Jersey. But we do not suffer alone.
Long Island, for instance has
much meaner mosquitoes than
we have. They have not
so good blood in them for N
thing, and blood will tell. But then,
what does it matter? Nobody
wants to live on Long Island.
AS to the village across the Hudson, it
does not suffer much, because even a
mosquito must draw the line some-
where.
1t would be of real use to drive the
mosquitoes out of New Jersey, aud we
hope that it will be done. Themethod
suggested is to breed the well known
mosquito hawk in quantities to suit.
He eats these pests with commendable
zeal, and begins very young-when he
is a mere callow laqUa. Such an ami
NAL should be judiciouly encouraged
and put in training, under Mr.. Null
doom, if possible. We hope that DR..
Landlords offer will have the effect
intended, viz. Ito encourage the study
of the mosquito hawk until he can be
made a useful and self sustaining
member of the community.

Railroad Conversation.

From the Youths Companion.
'gThe other day, in a railroad jour
ney of eve miles, / heard several
queer or funny remarks by people sit
ting near me-" said our minister.
MY mind was on my next Sundays
sermon, too, and these things Kept
breaking in upon my m~editatlors In a
very amusing way. | shan't try to
give you my train of thought, but
here are the remarks of some OF my
neighbors:-
He is a very serious man. said a
pretty girl to her friend sitting with
her. / don't believe that he ever lets
a smile cross his face. He always
looks like one of those Chinese idols
preparing to eat the chopstieks as a
penance.'
In front of these ladies sat a meek
looking little old man, with longish
hair parted down the middle of the
back of his head and combed up over
his ears. One lock kept falling down,
and he had a trick of pushing it ner-
vously into place. He was talking to
his seat mate in an excited way about
somebody of whom he disapproved.
I'D like to see that fellow kicked
out of town by cripples!' said the little
man with vindictive energy.
Presently he added, Yes, / suppose
he is as good as | am myself, and that's
clearing up his character plenty.
" What's them trees, Henry?' l
heard an aged woman ask her hus-
band as the train stopped at a
try station. She was looking from the
window.
'Them's peoples, he replied.
Say poplar, Henry, she corrected
him in kind tones.
mo, people, he persisted. The
pop-la1S is tall, slim trees, but trees
spreading out like them is pop-pu5lS.'
He was 50 certain of his position
that | was almost ready to look in the
dictionary d. a botany or my return
home to reassure myself that poplars
are always poplars and that there are
no peoples on this green EARTH"

A certain young Spanish friar, a
skilful painter, especially delighted in
devising new aspects of blessedness
and beauty for the Virgin, ant In sell
ting forth the devil in the most repul-
sive and extravagant ugliness. Satan
bore this as best he could for some
time; but, at last, he determined to
be revenged. He assumed the disguise
of a most lovely maiden; and the I'M
happy friar, being of an amorous dis
position, fell into the trap. She smiled
sweetly on her shaven wooer; but
would not surrender her beauty at
a less price than the rich rellquar1es
and jewels of the treasury OF the
monastery. In an evil hour the poor
painter admitted her at midnight
within the convent walls, and she
took from the antique cabinet II
precious things she desired. Then, as
they wound their way through n
moonlit cloister, the sinful fr1ar
clutching his booty with one arm and
his beauty with the other, the demon
lady suddenly called out Thieves
with diabolieal energy. Up started
all the snoring monks and rushed in
disorder from their cells, detecting the
unlucky brother making off with the
plate. Him they tied safe to a pillar,
leaving him there till the next day
should determine his punishment,
while the brethren went back to their
pillows or their prayers; and
then the cruel devil appeared in
his real shape to the poor painter,
haunting and twitting him,
and making unmerciful mockery oil
his amoFous oyertures and his prayers
advising him now to appeal to the
beauty he had so loved to delineate on
his canvases. The penitent monktook
the advice; and 10 the radiant mother

the brethren. He voted for his W
condemnation; but when they went to
the sacristy and found everything
m~arvelously correct in its place, and
when they went to the columniand
found the devil fast bound, they for
gave the erring brother, and adj
ministered a tremendous tiogging to
the devil. The monk became not only
"a wiser and a better man" but a bet

An Indian Heroine.

Here is an account of the brave deed
of an Oneida Indian woman, whose
courage seems only equalled by her
pride of race
Driving into the fields one day
where her husband and others were at
work she encountered a log lying
across the road in such a way that she
could not help pass, AS there was no
one neal to help her, and the log was
beyond her strength to move, she pro-
ceeded to cut it IN two with an axe she
had in the wagon.
To her surprise she found she had
disturbed a mother bear and her fam
ly of cubs. The bear. more fright
ened than angry, took to the woods,
and the woman walked in search of
the men and their firearms. Finding
them, she conducted her relief party
quickly back to the log, to find that
the bear had also returned.
When all were stationed ready for
action she again used her x on the
log, and the bear made her second ap-
pearance, this time angry and venge-
full. The man who stood ready for
Just such an emergency missed his aim,
dropped his gun, and with all his other
masculine companions took to his
heels. Left alone with the Infatuated
beast, with only an x for defence,

upon it's head, killed it with that one
stroke.

1t is in order now for the new Asses
sors to explain why the tax valuation
for the city only goes up a couple OF
millions this year. The figure was
over sixty-nine millions last year, and
this year it is to be about s~eventy-two.
That increase hardly mor than repre-
sents the natural growth for a year OF
so progressive a city as this.
But the Assessors assured us that
they were going to raise all the valua-
tions to the market value of the prop
erty assessed. Why have they not
done so? 1t is nonsense to say they
have, for everybody knows that prop
erty sells for nearly fifty per cent. over
its recent taxable assessment. 1t VIII

will be in order next year.

Benjamin Landeman, a salesman in the

testified that his firm missed one of the
dummies upon which suits of clothing are
displayed in front of the store. The
dummy was subsequently found in the
cellar, but the suit was missing. Some
time afterward he saw Brown on the
street wearing the stolen trousers, and
caused his arrest. Brown had on at the
time a new pair of shoes which Shoe
maker Sullivan says were stolen from
him. Brown was committed for trial.
