well-known German comedian, who will
assume the role of Antonio the treasurer.
in 1.-THE Brigands,' when that opera is
presented at the Hollis Street Theatre,
Boston, on September 16.
Miss Ada Rehan was toasted by Alex
ander Dumas at Buffalo Bills breakfast
in Paris. The. epigrammatic author of
Camille" said, lifting his glass: -"sThis
wine is honored by its application"
Pretty May Haines will play the Prince
of Wales in Richard Mansfield's great
production OF" Richard ILL., There We're
something less than a hundred young
girls who aspired to play his little serene
highness, but May was the lucky candi-
date. She is just under sixteen, petite OF
figure, with sweet voice and bright
mind. Mr.. Mansfield will probably coach
her into as great a success as was made
by her predecessor, Bessie Hatton, in Lon
don.
Miss Agnes Desmond made her debut
as Clarissa, in Lost in Africa" on Mon
day evening, at the Windsor Theatre.
The part she created is one flied with
pathos and emotion, and the lady played
like an old stager. Miss Desmond has
been pupil of Mrs. Waller for the past
two years. Miss Desmond is just eighteen.
The play is coming to Jersey City.
"Ferncliff," William Haworth's new
comedy-drama, will be the attraction to
open the Union Square Theatre tomor-
row. Since its success last May at
Buffalo, the author has rewritten the
play and very much improved it. Mr.. e.
II. Vanderbilt has a leading part.
Margaret Mather has been having very
little success in San Francisco. Her en-
gagement there closed last evening.
For nearly year Kitty Hay, who last
fall created much comment by running
away from her home and battling the
police and everybody else who tried to find
her, has been living very quietly at her
fathers house at Winslow, N. j. She is
Kitty Hay no longer, having on August

GOOD NEWS FOR GUNNERS.
Quail and Rabbits Are Plenty in Sou

Quail and Rabbits Are Plenty in South
Jersey this Fall.
The prospects for cunning this fall were
never more favorable than they are now.
Quail is plentiful and so many rabbits
have not been seen for years. just now
dove shooting is favorite amusement
with sportsmen. It is many years since
so many field plover have been in this Sec
ton The fields throughout South Jer-
sey are full of them.
Not only is the cunning for ployer and
doves in the fields better than it has been
for years. but yellow legs and other game
birds are more plentiful than usual along
the seashore. In Ocean county it is said
snipe are 80 plentiful that they are shot
from the piazZas of the dwellings.
The season for deer opens in 1890, and
the prospects fordeer shooting are excel
lent. Traces of these animals have been
seen even rs far up as Winslow, and the
Atlantic county people say there are lots
of them.
The excellent season for quail and rab-
bits is accounted for from the fact that
owing to the wet the birds Matched
their young ON the high grounds where
their nests could not be flooded, and th0
rabbits kept away from the wet swnmps
and fields. lii dry seasons this game goes
TO the swamps to bring forth their young,
and when heavy storm comes up hun

in age and to appear little nearer the
prime of life, he resorted to the elixir-in
fact, his resort was rather beyond the
hmits-and to his surprise it yanked him
back in years till it was doubtful whether
he could vote at next election With his
return to youth appeared symptoms of
big headedness, and when on the follow
ing day he was notified of his matrimon-
ial freight Hardcash refused to accept the
consignment. The bride, expectant, that
smiled on him did so over barrier of at
least seventy years, and it was on the
grounds of too much ''wear and tear
tnat he refused to accept this parcel of
matrimonial sweets. The matrimonial
bureau promptly authorized the express
agent to have all damages repaired ut
their expense, and feeling confident that
the elixir would rejuvenate the old girl,
they were married at once in order to
utilize the wedding feast, which would
not bear a postponement. Then
came the battle between the
elixir and tough old age in

With cheerful ray, and CLEANED afar

En- Route.


She was slender and tall azure-eyed, with a
cheek
That paled or grew pink with each passing
emotion,
And the siren ensnared me In one little week
When we met on the Seryia, crossing the ocean.
It's the old simple story. From lashing her
chair
In the morning and stopping to talk of the
weather
To the last turn on deck in the cool evening air,
There was always q something to throw US
together;
And never suspecting they could be but wiles,
She practised adroitly before land was sighted,
had fallen prey to her chances and smiles,
And tenderly, truly, our troth had been
plighted.
But the promise she gave me she promptly took
back
When she reached terra firma, and wrote me
from Dover
"Our engagement, of course. doesn't count,
dearest Jack,

Gave never wound to any shepherds eye.

And once console her in her lonely sky?

rhe Worll,s Fair size.

On the afternoon of Tuesday next the
Committee on Site for the Worlds Fair
will meet and consider the maps, plans
and estimates of cost of the Fort George,
Claremont Park and Oak Point sites,
which they have invited to be presented
at that time.
In this connection also. they will take
into consideration the replies of the
several railroads and other transportation
each regarding its facilities for freight
and passenger transportation.
Sixty or more companies were adj
dressed, and answers have been received
from about u dozen.
From these estimates, which are mainly
based on the traffic during the recent
Washington Inaugural Centennial, it
would appear that no difficulty will be
experienced in the matter of transporta-
ton, no matter what the site selected.

BOARDING HOUSE COMBINE.
At Least That is What the NJ :,
H. & T. Office Boys
Claim.

"a hash trust ? Well i should
smile and right here in Sedalia, too,
said an atts che of the Missouri, Kan
sas IL Texas general Offices to BAzoo
reporter yesterday. They have
formed a regular boarding house COM
bine on the Katy railroad employees,
and it is growing worse and worse
every day."
"How is the trust worked ?" asked
the incredulous scribe, who had heard
of steel trusts and cotton seed oil
trusts and standard oil trusts and
beef trusts, but never of
beefsteak trusts or pie nOnopolies
or hash combines.
"Worked Why its usually
worked with crank here in Sedalia,"
replied the overworked clerk with a
dyspeptic smile. They huddle us up
Ike sheep. and feed us like paupers,
and when We kick and threaten to 60
10 another boarding house, they
laugh at us. OF course they can
laugh. A lot of the clearinghouse
keepers have laid their heads together
and have a list of every employee in
the railroad offices. If, one of us
kicks or threatens to change boarding
places, he is blsck-listed, and if he
seeks board elsewhere, ne is either
denied admission or is
compelled to put up with prison ac-
commodatiens at an exorbitant fig
ure. So you see We are ground
down under a grinding monopoly"
Here was a discovery indeed A
hash combine , 1t could not be.
The railroad man had evidently eaten
too much mince pie and was suffering
Indigestion. The scribe sought
another clerk who was deep in a
table Of differential rates and &C
costed him Oh the subject.
"Yes," said he ;;,,''it is shameful, the
way We are treated. When We
came to Sedalia anu went TO
work, here we had been
