Two New Actors,

THE telegraph has already told the readers
of The DISPATCH that Mrs. Leslie Carter
made a remarkably good impression at her
debut on Monday at the Broadway Theater.
The New York papers devote a great deal of
space to THE Ugly Duckling' and Mrs. Carter,
and it must be accepted as certain for once
that an actress of real ability has graduated
from the divorce court. One of the best of the
New York critics says that Mrs. Carter Is not
beauty, but her face grows upon one, Her
facial expression in the opening scenes was
painfully overdone but in the great situation
of the third act she showed that her dramatic
power was better than her adaptability to
comedy. In this scene, when, by her coquetry
she finally overcomes the wicked Vaccinations
of the Count, only to place herself in false
light, Mrs. Carter acted with remarkable
power.
Another newcomer who has stepped instant
ly into popular favor is E. S. Willard, the lat
est arrival from England. Concerning his abil-
ity the critics are once more unanimous in
praise. The Middleman," in which Mr.. Will
lard appears, is also we'll spoken OF.

An Excusable Error.

HE boy had been to the theater good deal
last winter and the fearfully and wonder
1uily made curtain at the Grand Opera House
had made deep impression upon him. Last
month he went to visit his grandmother in a
small town up in the noun tains.
The first Sunday he was there his grand
mother took him to church. The wall back of
the platform and reading desk was painted
bright and beautiful blue in the midst of
which was Bible blazoned in gold. The small
Pittsburger was greatly taken with these gay
colors, and after contemplating them in silence
for several minutes, he turned to his grand
mother and said: "Grandma, there'l be lots of
fun when that curtain goes up, won't therer

It is a rather remarkable way to extract

comfort out of the elections that is adopted by
the Philadelphia Press in quoting Daniel
Websters words: II shall enter on no en-
comiums on Massachusetts; there she stands"
and then saying: "Yes, there she does stand:
an example of folly" Perhaps this is the best
that can be evolved from the situation; but as
specimen of political argument, it evokes
comparison with the juror who declared that
the reason the jury could not agree was because
there were eleven of the most obstinate men on
it that he ever had the misfortune to meet.

ported the visit of the Czarewitch to Vienna,

The report that Major Mckinley will be
offered the Russian mission, to be vacated by
Charles Emery Smith, would, if confirmed,
point rather strongly to two conclusions; first
that Mr.. Smith is impressed with the necessity
of infusing more judgment into the conduct of
the Philadelphia Republican organs; and Sec
ond, that Major Mckinley appears to some one
near the head of the administration so much of
Presidential quantity that it is best to get him
as far out of the country as possible. But as
the report may be untrue neither inference can
yet be too confidently assumed.

WILD ANIMALS AT LARGE,
Deer, Bears and Catamounts Infesting the
Blue Mountains.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
LEBANON, November 12-That there are
deer bears and catamounts infesting the Blue
Mountains is shown by the reports of farmers
living in remote corners of the hills. Deer are
frequently seen, and in some places. when hard
pressed by dogs or perhaps by hunger, they
venture into the yards of farmers.
While Henry Mease, aged Il, of Cold Spring
township, was out after rabbits with a CON-
panion, they saw a large animal in their path.
The man wounded her at the first fire, and in
moment the dogs were engaged in fierce fight
with one of the largest catamounts seen lately.
The fur of the animal was OF silken softness,
and this morning the skull and tips of the ears
were taken to the County Commissioner, who
paid 81, this being the reward offered for all
catamounts killed in Lebanon county.

Probably the gyrations of ravens tail
was never made the subject of protracted
study by the majority of people. 1t is for-
tunate for the ravens that tastes differ, and
for humanity that their pursuits are varied.
There has just been published in London
a book written by an American, which,
from beginning to end, never ceases to
discuss the muscular structure of
raven. The volume has 1913 pages.
According to the preface this book occupies
a unique place. Whether it fills a long-felt
want is not so certain, although it is pos
sible that It anticipates and will crafty a
scientific curiosity created by its advent
Popularity speaking it does not seem un-
timely, in view of the present wave of inter-
est inthe locomotion of the air which is pass
ing over the country.
The author apparently possesses some of
the independent characteristics of his bird.
He states that he collected all the material,
made all of the dissections, together with
the drawings therefrom, and that the de-
scriptions were all in his handwriting. The
book seems to have momentarily dazed the
English Saturday ReUieu critic, who pro-
nounces it "not an easy fortress to Storm"
In referring to the anatomy of the tail ofthe
raven, the author warns up to his subject
and Enthusiastically observes that ga mo-
ment's reflection is sufficient to convince US
that all those varied movements, so essential
to the feathery rudder of this black avian
knight, can be executed to nicely bv this
wonderfully complete musculature Of his
caudal extremity"
Again. if the reading public Graves an
adequate explanation of how the ''inter-
pleurapophysial membrane is attached to
the tendinous extremities of the digitations
of the serratus magnus anticus muscle" or
to grasp the "relation of the accessory
femorocaudal muscle and the obturator ex-
ternus to the sciatic atery," this treatise can
be recommended as affording an unprece-
IDENTIFY excellent opportunity for acquiring
such information.
1t is curious that the raven had to come to
America, so to speak, before it could re-
ceive that poetic justice which rendered it
famous for evermore, or the unprecedented
development OF Its muscular system now
made manifest for the first time.
