THE EQUINE PARADOX.
Bartholemew's Wonderful Horses-A New
Face in an Old PIny.

Bartholomew Wonderful Horses-A New
Face in an Old PIny.
Prof. Bartholomew has worked wonders with
the equine nature. He has done what nobody
else has done, as far as we know. The "a horses
that delighted very large audience at the
Grand Opera House last night are probably
the smartest most cultured coterie of quad
rupeds in existence. If you have not seen the
Paradox you can have no idea of the curious
and delightful charm of the entertainment. 1t
is all SAID to be the result of kind, persistent
and patient training, and the demeanor of the
horses would certainly confirm this assertion.
The "a horses all colors, but mostly of the
graceful Kentucky breeds, first cross the stage
on their way to school, and their arrival at the
school is an amusing tableaux. One horse takes
the pedagogue's hat, another his coat another
brings a chair, and then the tasks begin. There
is hardly thing a schoolboy does that these
horses do not make pretty effort to initiate,
from writing figures on the blackboard and
rubbing them off to shamming sick or mis-
chievously disturbing the class. The intelli-
gence of a deaf horse, named C8sar is espe-
cially remarkable.
1t is unnecessary to describe all that the
horses do; the programme is big one. But
the bell-ringing performance and the teeter-
totter act stand out as almost inexplicable
maryels The picnic scene and the military
drill with its strong climax are full of eXtraor-
binary horse-feats. The horses are the actors
entirely in this show, Mr.. Bartholomew being
simply a master of ceremonies to all appear
ances. of course he is really more; it is his
training which has had this unique result, and
through his well-directed labor that these two
dozen horses furnish such proofs OF their pos
session of reasoning power.
For children hardly more amusing or profit.
able entertainment can be imagined. We ad-
wise all who love horses to see the Paradox.

TIE UNP.RLI.mENraRY PEANUT.

How can Select Councilmen expect to re-
tain the confidence of their constituents if
they eat peanuts? Not only do they devour
the degrading nut, but they crunch the
shells on the floor in the Council chamber.
The crash of contract-letting is often lost in
the pulverization Of peanut shells. The de-
bates are also punctuated, if not sprinkled,
with tobacco juice, and the Chairman s
majesty can hardly be seen for the toby
smokel Are these things worthy of such an
august chamber? Are they Select?
President Ford is opposed to the peanut.
He rules that it is not parliamentary. 1t
must be crushed-but not inside the cham
Der. The tobacco chewing and the odorifer-
GUS toby are out of order, and they will be
ordered out. Internal Revenue Collector
Warmcastle has also taken a Yirtuous stand
against the peanut, the quid and the toby.
The superb courage which nerveG Speaker

eral old apple women is contagious. Presi-
dent Ford has caught it, Mr.. Warmcastle
has caught 1t, and the other members Of
Select Council may expect to catch it-or
its effects-next. Down with the unparlia-
mentary peanut!

BALLS OF FIRE IN THE HOUSE.
Family Terrified and Paralyzed by Light
ninx's Mad Franks.

LoCKPoRT, N. T., June "a most remarka-
BILE phenomenon is reported from the outlying
country districts regarding the electrical dis.
play during the recent severe rainstorm. A
farmer named Jasper Bacon and his family, re-
siding Is miles northwest Of this city. were sin.
gularly affected. The house seemed to be envel-
oped in blush, hazy light. The air was preg-
nant with the electric fluid, and balls OF fire
danced along the tops of chairs and Slid over
mantels or chased each other up and down a
hanging lampshade.
1t was a terrible sight to the members OF the
household There were no lights in the house,
and the terror of the inmates was greatly in
creased by the total paralysis of their muscles.
They were unable to move, and sat like mum
mics, fearing that their end was near. The
storm lasted four hours. and as it departed the
electricity vanished and the use of their limbs
and arms returned.

A RUSH FOR A BRIDE.
An Illustration of the Way in Which Syrian

An Illustration of the Way In Which Syrian
Courtships are Conducted.
At the Seventh United Presbyterian Church,
on Forty-fourth street. last night, Prof. Elias
e. Barakat gave an illustrated lecture Of life in
Damascus, Syria. He enlightened the audience
which filed the church TO its utmost capacity
on the customs of the natives of Damascus
He illustrated, by the aid of several gentlemen
and ladies, the manner in which the gallants of
Damascus court the fair damsels. The manner
in which it was done evoked considerable
laughter from the audience. The way in which
the marriage ceremony was performed was
then shown. After the engagement was duly
sanctioned by the parents of the groom and
bride, the bride was supposed to have been out
walking under a canopy, carried by four maids
of honor. AS soon as the groom caught sight
of the party he made a rush and seized the
blushing bride. and then they were considered
man and wife.
Prof Barakat talked Interestingly of the
habits of the natives of Syria of which coun-
try he is native.

And the Chicago financier, for such he was,
told the truth. There is an abo unding pros

yet there is no attempt to exaggerate good for

real estate. Prices of real estate are stiffening
steadily, and the volume Of investment in this
