Malicious Mischief.

Early yesterday morning some one entered
the power-house of the lexington electric rail-
road. which is located at 4th and T streets
northeast, and cut the coils of wires in two dy-
namos. From the way the wires were cut it is
concluded that whoever did it understood the
electric machinery, but it is supposed that in
his hurry he neglected to do his bad work as
thoroughly as he intended to do it. The Of
ficers Of the company have reported the mat
ter to the police, and they have strong hopes
Of being able to capture the person who so wan
tonly injured their property. Through the eff
forts Of the president and others the road was
running nearly as many cars Yesterday as usuaL

Rise and Fall Of Burlesque.
LYDIA THoMPsoN's "BLoNDEs" TRACED IN
TO DECENT oBsCURTTY.

Burlesque has come into renewed the
atrical favor, and the chances are that it
will be as popular next winter as in the
fall of 1865, when Lydia Thompson and
her British blondes took the town by
storm. That was the golden era for that
style of entertainment, and Woods Mu-
seum-where the company had been COM
pclled to open through failure to get into
more fashionable house-was crowded
chiefly by the same sort of audience that is
now drawn by comic opera. "Ixion" was
the principal piece, and to this day, when
ever manager contemplateS burlesque. he
hunts out copy of that punster work
with view of injecting timely humor in
to it for revival.
Lydia was brought here by an English
man named Henderson, who afterwafd
married her Along with her were Pau

A Tribute of Respect.

The following letter from one Masonic
brother to another is published by request:

Le,ris Friend, Esq:
DEAR SIR AND BROTHER Il was shocked
Gas no doubt you all were) to hear of the
sudden death of our brother and friend.
James W. Davis. And l wish you to ex-
tend my sympathy and sorrow to all who
mourn with you, this great loss.
He was one of the first men that be-
came acquainted with in Ellsworth, and so
| have known him long and well have
met him in the ball room, in the Lodge and
Chapter too, and it was always pleasure
to see his genial face; whatever might be
the character of the assembly, however
large or small the company, his presence
was guarar tee that the occasion would
be pleasant and profitable. To even meet
and talk with him was rest for the tired
body and mind. He was just and upright
as business man; kinu and courteous as
a neighbor; true and faithful as friend
and brother; and, if l ever reach the
Grand Lodge above, where the Supreme
Architect of the universe presides, shall
expect to meet our brother there. Again
let me say, mourn this loss with you all.
Yours truly and fraternally.
